Chapter 183 Progress
Mo Hua followed the planned architectural array diagram, one array after another, one complex array after another, step by step, and drew in an orderly manner.
When his spiritual consciousness was exhausted, he would meditate to recover. When he was tired, he would sit aside to rest for a while, take a book on array theory to read and relieve fatigue.
After a good rest, he continued to draw the array.
The array of this large-scale project has a lot of array patterns. Although it is not particularly difficult to draw, it is very boring and tests the patience and concentration of the array master.
Fortunately, Mo Hua is used to drawing arrays. He practiced arrays day and night before, so he is still quite used to it.
Moreover, he has accumulated thousands of bottles of monster blood, all of which he has turned into spiritual ink. If he does not use it now, the spiritual ink will weaken over time, which is a waste.
Those were all drawn by Mo Hua from monsters one bottle at a time.
After a few days, Mo Hua has been drawing arrays alone.
Master Ban also understood that Elder Yu did not invite other formation masters, and only Mo Hua was drawing the formation.
Such a large equipment refining shop, so many buildings, so many formations, and so many formation patterns, all need to be drawn by one person.
Master Ban's scalp tingled just thinking about it.
It will take a long time to finish drawing...
Master Ban was anxious, but he couldn't ask Mo Hua directly.
First, Mo Hua was concentrating on drawing the formation and couldn't be disturbed.
Second, since knowing that Mo Hua was a formation master and could draw a first-class formation, Master Ban felt a little in awe and didn't dare to talk to Mo Hua.
Formation masters have always been respected, and they are different from the low-level casual cultivators.
Master Ban is a craftsman and often deals with formation masters. Most formation masters are not easy to get along with. They are either conceited, arrogant, or greedy. Although some are polite on the surface, they look down on craftsmen in their hearts.
After all, the craftsmen are just peasants, doing hard labor, which is incomparable to the formation master.
Therefore, they dare not offend the formation master, and they are often troubled by the formation master.
Some building materials are not suitable for drawing the formation, and the formation master will ask them to replace them. Some layouts do not conform to the formation diagram, and the formation master will ask them to dismantle and rebuild. There are also some formations that are obviously drawn by the formation master himself, but in the end, they are the craftsmen who have to change them.
Master Ban hesitated for a few days, but still did not dare to ask Mo Hua.
But a few days later, Master Ban was surprised to find that many foundations and walls of buildings had already been drawn with formations.
Master Ban looked back and forth several times, and checked it against the building formation diagram, and found that it was exactly the same as the formation planned on the formation diagram, without any difference.
Master Ban was stunned. This formation was drawn too quickly!
So many formations, in such a short time, can a formation master really finish drawing them?
Master Ban quietly observed Mo Hua again.
Only then did I realize that when Mo Hua drew the formation, his brushwork was very skillful, and he did not think about it, as if he had already memorized these formation patterns, and he drew them very smoothly and very quickly!
In Master Ban's impression, the formation masters would think over the formation diagram again and again when drawing the formation, and they would be very careful when drawing the formation. After drawing a formation, they would be pale, sit down to drink tea and rest, and dawdle for most of the day.
Unlike Mo Hua, he was decisive and drew the formation. After drawing one formation, he would quickly draw the second one.
Even if he had to rest, he would concentrate and meditate, and he would be energetic again after a while and continue to draw.
In this way, four or five formation masters combined might not be faster than Mo Hua alone.
Master Ban was really eye-opening.
In all these years, it was the first time he saw someone who could draw a formation as easily as drinking water.
"Could it be that... he can really draw so many formations by himself within the construction period?"
Master Ban thought with some disbelief and expectation.
Mo Hua drew the formations in an orderly but smooth manner. At the same time, the construction of the weapon refinery was so big that several prominent families in Tongxian City were basically known to everyone.
There was a street not far from the weapon refinery. There was a teahouse on the street. There was a private room on the second floor. It was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a fragrant aroma.
The old man of the An family and the head of the An family, An Yonglu, sat opposite each other and drank tea in the private room.
An Yonglu poured tea for the old man and frowned:
"Elder Yu is really generous this time, building such a large weapon refinery..."
"After robbing the spiritual mine and having the capital, he naturally wants to do big things."
"The Qian family really lost both the wife and the army this time, and suffered a great loss!" An Yonglu was a little gloating.
Old Master An glanced at his son and said helplessly, "You don't think this is a good thing for us, do you?"
An Yonglu was stunned, "Isn't it a good thing for the Qian family to suffer a loss?"
Old Master An was very disappointed, "Let me ask you, if such a large refinery is built and so many spiritual weapons are refined, not only the Qian family, but also our An family will be affected in business..."
"And looking at this layout, it's not just a refinery, but also an alchemy business. If Yu Changlin really builds it, how can we compete with him?"
"That's the Qian family's headache first. Our An family doesn't have much business in refining equipment and refining medicine."
Grandpa An glared at him, "You want to run a restaurant business for the rest of your life? What can you achieve by running a restaurant?"
"I know that, but we are not as ruthless as the Qian family. We can't compete with the business of refining equipment and refining medicine. We can only do business like a restaurant that makes money by being friendly..." An Yonglu whispered.
Grandpa An sighed, "Don't blame Xiaofu. You are a useless father."
An Yonglu was a little dissatisfied, "Dad, Xiaofu is much worse than me. If he had half of my ability, he would have no problem being the head of the family."
Grandpa An said coldly, "You are really promising, compared with your own son."
An Yonglu was embarrassed.
Grandpa An picked up the cup to sip tea and said nothing more. He looked at the unfinished refining shop in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.
With such a large layout and such a large framework, Elder Yu really has a big vision...
Grandpa An sighed in his heart. He is old. Even if he has the capital, he doesn't have the heart and ambition.
An Yonglu thought for a while and said, "Dad, can such a large equipment refining company be successfully built?"
Grandpa An glanced at him.
An Yonglu continued, "The Qian family will not give up, and they will not sit back and watch these casual cultivators get rich. After all, the wool comes from the sheep. If these casual cultivators become powerful, the Qian family will have a hard time. The Qian family has always been engaged in the business of fleecing the wool."
"You are right." Grandpa An nodded slightly.
"Then what should we do?" An Yonglu asked.
Grandpa An raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Let's wait and see."
An Yonglu nodded, waiting to see if the Qian family will make any moves.
Although the An family was anxious because of Yu Chang's big move, there was no need to be anxious. After all, their main business was the restaurant, and the business of refining equipment and refining medicine had been squeezed out by the Qian family and they had no place to stand.
But the Qian family was different. The core of the Qian family was the industry of refining equipment and refining medicine, and they must be more anxious than anyone else now.
