Chapter 505: Deployment and Winning Over!
Several eyes with great expectations focused on Wei Hong.
Jia Heng and others very much hope to draw Wei Hong into their small group. The role and energy of an array master are definitely not comparable to that of ordinary casual cultivators.
What's more, Wei Hong is still a monk in the late stage of Qi training, so his cultivation alone is worthy of their persuasion.
However, what they were waiting for was Wei Hong's rejection.
Wei Hong pondered for a while, and then slowly said under the expectant eyes of Jia Heng and others: "I'm sorry, I may have to disappoint a few fellow Taoists. Guan actually has no idea of forming a group or joining a force. , Guan only wants to practice well and does not want these annoying things to disrupt his life. "
Wei Hong's eyes were firm and he shook his head.
Jia Heng and others were stunned. They didn't expect that they had said so much, but in the end they failed to persuade Wei Hong, and he actually chose to refuse.
"No. Fellow Taoist Guan, there won't be any trouble if we stick together as a group, and it won't affect fellow Taoists' lives. The purpose of being in a group is just to help each other. Fellow Daoist Guan, why don't you think about it again?" "
Jia Heng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly tried to persuade him again.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Guan, why don't you think about it again?"
"Fellow Daoist Guan, we will not participate in other things in Fang City as a group. You can definitely rest assured about this!"
"That's right. We all stick together just to ensure that we are not bullied by others. How can it disrupt our own lives?"
Xia Mingjie and Chen Yan continued to persuade without giving up, obviously not wanting Wei Hong, the formation master, to leave their small group.
However, no matter how Jia Heng and others tried to persuade him, Wei Hong still did not change his mind. He said firmly: "Needless to say, fellow Taoists, Guan will never join any group or any force. It’s not that Guan has any opinions about several fellow Taoists, it’s that Guan just wants to live his own life alone and doesn’t want to be disturbed.”
"How can we not be disturbed?" Cao Guang was the most impatient. He said with disbelief: "In this chaotic situation, who can guarantee that he will not be affected or disturbed? Those people outside who are jealous No matter what you think, monk, once you are targeted by them, even if Fellow Daoist Guan is protected by the formation, there is absolutely no guarantee of safety!"
"There is no need to say more about this issue. Guan has his own confidence!" Wei Hong was not affected at all and said categorically: "With the few formations Guan has deployed, it is not a problem to block some prying monks."
Having said that, facing Wei Hong who was so determined and did not change his mind at all, Jia Heng and others couldn't help but look at each other, but they were helpless.
Obviously, Wei Hong had already made up his mind not to join their group.
Such a result disappointed Jia Heng and others.
However, Wei Hong smiled and said at this time: "Fellow Taoists, although Guan will not join your group, he can promise to arrange the formation for you!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Heng and others who were still a little disappointed were overjoyed.
"Really? Fellow Taoist Guan promised to arrange the formation for us?" Jia Heng's face lit up, and he immediately put the disappointment behind him.
After all, compared to holding a group, it is obviously more important for Wei Hong to arrange formations for them.
Because there is absolutely a difference between heaven and earth with formation protection and without formation. A small courtyard with formation protection is not easy to be targeted.
Cao Guang and Xia Mingjie were also full of joy and hurriedly thanked Wei Hong.
But Wei Hong waved his hand and said solemnly: "Don't thank me for now. Although Guan promised to arrange formations for several fellow Taoists, he also has requirements."
"Fellow Taoist Guan, please tell me, we will never refuse if we can do it!"
Jia Heng agreed without thinking.
"Okay, let's talk about Guan." Wei Hong looked at Jia Heng and others and said slowly: "I have a first-level mid-level defensive formation on hand called "Four Symbols Formation", which should be enough. It meets the needs of several fellow Taoists.”
"But I have a few requirements. First, to set up the "Four Symbols Formation", we need to refine the formation flag. The materials for refining the formation flag will be found by several fellow Taoists themselves, and then handed over to Guan for refining. After refining it, arrange the formation for fellow Taoists."
"Secondly, the reward for setting up the formation is as mentioned by several fellow Taoists before. Guan will be paid five hundred spirit stones afterwards. In addition, several fellow Taoists will also need to find enough food for Guan for ten days. Spirit rice and monster meat.”
"Third, the matter of setting up the formation is yours alone. Several fellow Taoists must keep it secret. No external information is allowed, and no one else is allowed to come here."
"If you all agree to these requirements, then Guan will arrange formations for several fellow Taoists as soon as possible. What do you think?"
After finishing speaking, Wei Hong's eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of Jia Heng and others.
Jia Heng and others were slightly startled at first, then immediately frowned.
They didn't expect that Wei Hong had quite a lot of demands.
Jia Heng and others couldn't help but look at each other, and then Jia Heng said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Fellow Daoist Guan, we are responsible for finding all the materials to refine the formation flag. There is absolutely no problem. The reward of five hundred spirit stones is also appropriate, but these ten It’s hard to find Japanese spiritual rice and monster meat now, it should be said that there is no way to buy it at all!”
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Guan, how about you change this request?"
"Fellow Daoist Guan, how about we pay an extra hundred spiritual stones?"
"Confidentiality is no longer a problem. It's just that the spiritual rice and monster meat are really hard to find!"
Cao Guang and the other two also felt a little embarrassed about the second request. After all, the current situation is no longer the same as before. If they want to buy spiritual rice and monster meat, they can't find a way even if they have money. Even the food they have on hand is not much.
Seeing the embarrassed expressions on Jia Heng's faces, Wei Hong also sighed secretly in his heart. He just wanted to give it a try. If it works, it would be the best. He doesn't have to risk going out to find supplies. Now that Jia Heng and the others feel embarrassed, he naturally needs to change the conditions.
So Wei Hong pretended to ponder for a moment before saying: "In this case, let's change it to a favor owed by several Taoist friends to Guan Mou, and do something within your ability for Guan Mou in the future."
Compared to spiritual stones, he prefers favors.
After the condition was changed, Jia Heng was the first to make the decision and said, "Okay, let's do as Fellow Daoist Guan said. I will never break my promise."
"Okay, Cao also agreed, and will never disclose this matter."
"Yes, I also agreed, thank you Fellow Daoist Guan!"
"No problem, just do as Fellow Daoist Guan said!"
Cao Guang, Xia Mingjie and the other two also agreed without thinking too much.
After all, the current situation is different from the past. It is already a great honor for them to invite Wei Hong to help. It is naturally completely acceptable to exchange a protective formation for a few spirit stones and a favor.
