Of course, only those who have reached a certain realm and have some understanding of feng shui can see all of this. To ordinary people and ordinary cultivators, the village looks just like any other village, with nothing particularly different.

"Thanks to that old fellow, Liuhe Village has developed such a great momentum. With the nourishment of this feng shui, Liuhe Village will become increasingly prosperous, with talents emerging one after another."

Chen Yang sighed and then reached towards the storage pouch at his waist.

He took out a piece of parchment.

On the paper was clearly drawn a large formation.

This formation belonged to a mid-tier mysterious-grade formation.

It was considered relatively high-level among formations.

Chen Yang had never set up a formation before, and today he wanted to try and see if he could set up this formation on his own!

Taking out the parchment, he didn’t rush to set it up but chose to prepare thoroughly first before attempting it. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

He held the parchment, carefully scrutinizing it, closely examining every intricate detail and every important point.

This took nearly an hour.

After an hour passed, Chen Yang felt seventy to eighty percent confident about setting up this formation!

"The battle formation, once set up, can enhance combat power for cultivators within the formation, increasing speed and strength by about ten to twenty percent!" Chen Yang looked at the introduction below the formation and read it out loud.

This formation really lived up to its name.

Once set up, it was like an arena, allowing Chen Yang as the host to enhance his combat power.

However, it was limited to a certain range.

If one left the formation, the effect would definitely be gone.

Having clearly understood the formation’s uses and how to implement it, he wasted no time and immediately took out the related materials from the storage pouch, then began to set up the formation using spiritual energy!

"First step in setting up the formation, place the formation eyes!"

Chen Yang shouted lowly and immediately threw the four iron rods, each about ten centimeters long, into the air!

With the blessing of spiritual energy, the four rods flew quickly, and after leaving his hand, they rapidly grew in size, stopping only when they reached about twenty centimeters thick.

They all flew in the direction Chen Yang expected, toward the four corners of Liuhe Village!

Including the entire village within it.

Chen Yang intended to set up this formation in Liuhe Village, so if a battle broke out in Liuhe Village, he would have a natural advantage.

After the four rods were inserted into the ground, they quickly turned transparent, as if they never existed.

Only Chen Yang, the one setting up the formation, could see where the formation eyes were.

This kind of high-level formation had such a magical effect.

Thinking back to when the Gu Family hired an array master, Chen Yang couldn’t help but chuckle.

What a trash formation, with formation eyes that couldn’t be hidden, and even looked so conspicuous, truly insulting the term "acupuncture technique."

After setting down the four formation eyes, Chen Yang immediately started the next step, gathering a huge amount of spiritual energy with both of his hands and suddenly injecting it into the formation!

The four formation eyes, empowered with spiritual power, were instantly activated, emitting a faint blue light.

Next, Chen Yang took out the talisman pen used to connect the formation, using spiritual energy as ink, to draw and connect the formation!

The more intricate a formation, the more operations it requires.

This was Chen Yang’s first time setting up a large formation, so it took a long time.

It took over two hours for the connection of the formation, the activation of the formation eyes, and the whole operation to be completed.

A successful set-up of a mid-tier mysterious-grade large formation!

At the moment the formation formed, it seemed like the entire Liuhe Village had become a massive arena!

And within this arena, Chen Yang became the master, his power enhanced!

At the moment the formation was completed, he finally understood what it meant to have confidence on one’s own turf.

The empowerment from the formation gave him immense confidence.

"Formations are really a great thing, I can’t understand why such a good thing would fade into obscurity."

Enjoying the benefits of the formation, Chen Yang felt very pleased.

But by this time, the sky had already started turning light, and sounds began to appear around the village, so he put everything away and returned home.

The formation formed silently, and ordinary people didn’t feel a thing.

Everyone in Liuhe Village continued with their daily routines without any impact.

Only Chen Yang sensed something.

He could clearly feel a strange power rushing into his body while standing within the formation.

That strong feeling was very real, as if it was his own energy.

In reality, Chen Yang knew very well that this was brought by the formation, and if he left Liuhe Village, this power would disappear.

"Let’s make some food first, eat and then go up the mountain to gather herbs."

After returning home, Chen Yang decided to go to the kitchen first, make a bowl of noodles to eat and fill his stomach before heading to the mountain for a walk.

Ma Jiantao had ordered a large batch of body-refining elixirs from him, which required quite a lot of raw materials, so he needed to gather them early to facilitate the refining process.

After working in the kitchen for a while, a delicious bowl of shredded pork noodles was ready.

Just as he stepped out of the kitchen, ready to eat, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.

"That old guy, why is he here so early?"

Chen Yang checked and easily found out that it was Liu Taoist standing outside, so he didn’t think much of it and went to open the door with the bowl of noodles.

"Old guy, why are you here so early, is there something up?" Chen Yang was in a good mood, with a smile on his face.

Outside, Liu Taoist was looking up at the sky. Hearing the voice, he turned his head and looked at Chen Yang, smiling, "Well, Chen Yang, my young friend, after just a few days, you can set up a large formation in Liuhe Village. It’s no exaggeration to say you are extraordinarily talented."

Obviously, Liu Taoist also realized that Liuhe Village was surrounded by a large formation, so he came over.

Chen Yang wasn’t surprised that Liu Taoist could see it.

Because this old guy was originally a feng shui expert, no one could react faster than him when there was a change in feng shui.

"Hehe, you came just for this?" Chen Yang asked as he slurped some noodles with a smile.

Liu Taoist kept a friendly smile, "Of course not, I also came to ask you about the old man’s situation. Also, have you heard from him about your second uncle’s condition?"

Liu Taoist seemed quite concerned about Chen Tianmin’s situation, always being the first to inquire whenever there was any movement.

"You mean the general store owner? He’s doing well, very robust, and I’ve also heard about my second uncle and met him." Chen Yang answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Liu Taoist’s smile grew even wider.

"Then your trip to the provincial city was quite fruitful, not only purchasing formation materials and formation diagrams, but also finding out about your second uncle."

"Yes, this is largely thanks to the senior at the general store. Without him pointing me in the right direction, I wouldn’t have been able to find my second uncle." Chen Yang thought of the hidden nature of the hostile alliance; without the old man’s guidance, he really couldn’t have found it.

"Hehe, what senior, that guy is just an old rogue, nothing special, no seniority to speak of. Anyway, since everything’s good, I have nothing else to do, I’m off to recruit some disciples, so I’ll talk to you later."

Liu Taoist came by early in the morning just to see that Chen Yang was back and to ask a few questions. Now that his questions were answered, he naturally went off to attend to his own business.
