"Gathering Yin Formation"

Zhao Zian's eyes were burning.

The person who set up this formation is definitely an expert.

This amount of money, even in the world of cultivation, would be considered quite standard.

But why did it get out of control?

His gaze finally settled on the very center of the well.

That place should have been the core of the entire formation, the location of the formation's eye.

Now, only a half-foot-deep pit remains, and at the bottom of the pit, a palm-sized wooden disc has been broken into several pieces.

The wooden tray is made of ebony.

The wooden plate was covered with intricate runes.

"The core of the formation is destroyed."

Zhao Zian understood.

The Gathering Yin Formation is like a dam, and the key point of the formation is the gate that controls the flow of water.

Now that the sluice gate is broken, the yin energy accumulated in the dam has naturally gone out of control.

"What a pity, such a fine Yin-gathering formation has been wasted like this."

Zhao Zian shook his head.

and many more.

Is it ruined?

To others, this is useless.

But for him...

The Danfu Formation he inherited contains not only the method of setting up formations, but also the supreme methods of repairing and modifying formations!

Fix it?

The layout is small!

A simple Yin-gathering array can only gather Yin-attribute spiritual energy, and its purpose is singular.

Aside from special cultivators like him and some extremely sinister entities, they are simply unusable.

What he wanted was a precious land where he could grow medicinal herbs!

The Yin Gathering Array won't work, but the Spirit Gathering Array will!

Just do it!

Modifying a formation is far more complex than rearranging one.

He sat cross-legged on the skeleton and closed his eyes.

His divine sense reached out again.

Following the runes on the well wall, we probed deeper and deeper, analyzing its structure and deducing its operating principles.

The sky outside the well was gradually darkening.

At the bottom of the well, Zhao Zian opened his eyes.

"I see."

He had already thoroughly understood this dilapidated Yin-gathering formation.

Now, let's begin the renovation!

Modifying the formation requires materials.

Repairing the array's core requires at least one spiritual material of the same level.

But Zhao Zian is currently penniless.

"If there are no materials, then create them!"

Zhao Zian extended his index finger, and the true essence within his dantian and dantian gathered at his fingertip along the meridians.

Use your body as a tool, and your breath as a guide!

"combine!"

Zhao Zian clasped his hands together in the middle.

Hundreds of runes, suspended in mid-air, layered upon each other, merged into the array plate!

This array plate is the new core of the array!

A temporary array core constructed using his own blood essence and true energy as its core!

"go!"

He pointed.

The radiant array disc fell into the pit at the bottom of the well.

At the bottom of the well, the yin energy found its king and became docile.

They are systematically drawn into the new array, where they are decomposed, purified, and recombined.

Zhao Zian exhaled a breath of stale air.

Become!

He looked up at the well opening; it was getting dark.

As for Accountant Sun, he should have obtained the land deed by now.

He leaped and landed back on the ground.

Zhao Zian stepped onto the main street.

The streets were in complete chaos.

The peddler's load overturned on the ground, and candied hawthorns rolled everywhere.

The woman, carrying a child, squeezed through the crowd.

"Make way! Everyone make way, damn it!"

"They've gone mad! They've really gone mad!"

Zhao Zian reached out and grabbed a middle-aged man.

The man was grabbed by the arm and turned around to yell at them.

"What happened?"

The man pointed south along the street: "A madman! There's a madman out over there in the south of the city!"

"What madman?" Zhao Zian's heart sank.

"I don't know! It's Zhang the Butcher! He's usually a perfectly normal person, but suddenly he's gone mad, his eyes are bloodshot, he bites anyone he sees, he scratches anyone he can grab! Like a wild beast! Several people have already been scratched by him, the wounds have turned black, it's really eerie!"

South of the city.

The south of the city is in the direction of his and his sister-in-law Li Suqin's home.

Butcher Zhang's meat shop was only two or three alleys away from his house!

Zhao Zian released the man and rushed against the crowd towards the south of the city.

"Hey! Are you crazy?! Why are you going that way?!"

"Get out of the way!"

Zhao Zian gave a low shout.

The further south you go, the fewer people there are, and the more chaotic the streets become.

The overturned vegetable stall was covered in rotten vegetable leaves and fruit.

Zhao Zian dared not think any further.

Turn the corner, and his house comes into view.

"Help!"

A cry escaped through the crack in the door.

She is my sister-in-law.

Outside the door, a burly man was frantically banging on it.

The neighbors had already closed their doors and windows tightly.

Zhao Zian was about to rush over.

"stop!"

A sharp shout came from the street corner.

A group of yamen runners, armed with fire sticks and long forks, escorted the middle-aged man as he arrived.

The visitor was none other than Magistrate Zhang, Zhang Jing.

"Dr. Zhao! Step back! It's dangerous here!"

Magistrate Zhang shouted.

I haven't even repaid the debt of saving my life, how can I just stand by and watch my benefactor die a tragic death!

"Dr. Zhao! Calm down! I've arrived with my men! We'll handle this! You should go to the back!"

Zhang Jing grabbed Zhao Zian's arm.

"Your Honor, please listen to me!"

Zhao Zian looked at Magistrate Zhang.

"This is neither madness nor some kind of plague!"

"He's under a curse! Your usual methods are useless against him; sending anyone up there will only be a pointless death!"

Zhang Jing was taken aback.

Evil magic? Insidious techniques?

How could he believe such superstitious and bizarre talk!

"Dr. Zhao! He's just a madman with a lot of strength! Every one of my constables is a seasoned veteran!"

Zhang Jing tightened his grip on Zhao Zi'an's arm even more.

"You are of noble birth, quickly step back behind me, we will handle things here!"

Zhao Zian struggled backhand.

Zhang Jing's wrist went numb, and he involuntarily loosened his grip.

This Dr. Zhao looks frail, how come he has such great strength in his hands?

In that instant, Zhao Zian brushed past him.

"Quick! Protect Doctor Zhao!"

Zhang Jing was both shocked and furious.

The leader of the squad shouted, "Form ranks! Serves you with your long forks!"

Four constables stepped forward, their long-handled iron forks pointing directly at Zhang the butcher's limbs and torso.

Butcher Zhang stopped banging on the door.

"Now! Fork!" the foreman roared.

Four iron forks pierced Zhang the butcher.

Two handles locked onto the thighs, and two handles pressed against the shoulders.

The constables were secretly delighted.

Zhang the butcher, restrained by four iron forks, exerted force through his waist and abdomen.

"Oh no!" the foreman exclaimed.

The four constables, like four straws being tossed about, lost their balance.

The two people were thrown out and crashed into the wall.

The other two were thrown off balance and collided with each other.

The remaining constables were terrified and dared not step forward.

Zhang Jing's face turned deathly pale.

madman?

There's no way someone could be this crazy!

Dr. Zhao is right, this is not an illness, it is evil magic!

Zhao Zian walked to within three feet of Zhang the butcher.

Butcher Zhang has identified a new prey.

He landed on all fours and lunged forward.

"Dr. Zhao!" Zhang Jing screamed in disbelief.

Instead of retreating, Zhao Zi'an advanced.

He slightly shifted his body to the side, avoiding Zhang the Butcher's sharp claws and gaping maw.

It's now!

Zhao Zian brought his right index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture and tapped Zhang the butcher three times.
