In a short period of time, under the leadership of Zhang Haogu, Shang Xia quickly became familiar with everything about Futang's station at Zuowangpo.
When the other two third-level Talisman masters, Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, saw this, they could only follow beside them and introduce to Shang Xia the preparations made by Talisman Hall at the station.
After visiting this place, Shang Xia finally asked the question that had been brewing in his mind for a long time: "Why do we need to set up a talisman array? Although the formation of talisman arrays can be done quickly, the time after the formation is completed is short. After all, the talisman array is It is too fragile and easily damaged. Even if time is really urgent, why not use a jade or gold talisman? At the very least, use an epithelial talisman or a wooden talisman, whose durability is better than that of a made talisman."
The two third-level talisman masters, Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, glanced at each other, but at the same time they cast the same doubtful gaze on Zhang Haogu.
Obviously, these two third-level talisman masters from the academy also have the same doubts.
Zhang Haogu smiled bitterly and just said: "Time waits for us. There is no time for us to build a huge and strong formation like the Tongyou Peak Guardian Formation."
Shang Xia was shocked and blurted out: "Could it be that Cangling's side will counterattack soon and start another war?"
It is not unfounded for Shang Xia to think so.
In this battle, Changbai Holy Land's intervention was limited, and luck seemed to be on the side of Tongyou Academy. In the end, Tongyou Academy won by chance, but the other party was not necessarily convinced.
After this battle, most of the fourth-level warriors on the side of Tongyou Academy had lost their fighting power, and their true nature of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside was exposed.
On the contrary, the Changbai Holy Land's rich foundation is enough for them to send a sufficient number of fourth-level warriors to enter the two realms of war again.
Once this happens, if the Tongyou side does not completely lose ownership of the two realms of battle, it can only huddle all its forces in one place and defend it.
Then it was a top priority to deploy a large formation with sufficient grade and wide enough coverage in a short period of time.
"There are indeed considerations in this regard!"
Zhang Haogu did not deny Shang Xia's concerns, but he immediately added: "However, this is not the main reason."
As for the real reason, perhaps it was because there were two Talisman Masters Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui around him. Zhang Haogu did not explain much, but Shang Xia was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something.
While the four of them were talking, they saw a young warrior coming hurriedly towards this side.
"Mr. Zhang, two gentlemen..."
The young warrior approached and bowed to those present.
Before Zhang Haogu became the general manager of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he served as a teacher in the Department of Education for a long time. The two third-level Talisman masters, Gong Hang and Fan Yuanhui, also have some teaching obligations in Tongyou Academy. Therefore, they will all be admitted by the academy. Students are addressed as "Mr."
However, the young warrior saw Shang Xia right after, and he was immediately stunned.
Shang Xia glanced at the person who came, but he looked quite familiar. He could probably remember that the person who came here should be a serious classmate who entered Tongyou Academy at the same time as him.
It's just that he spent so little time in the academy that he couldn't remember which room the visitor came from, who the instructor was, or what his name was.
Shang Xia felt a little embarrassed, smiled at the visitor, and looked away.
On the contrary, this senior student was quite uneasy.
In less than two years, this former chief of foreign affairs has become a legend in the entire academy.
And this student seems to be making progress in the academy.
Now he is a member of Shangshe Shengsheng.
However, when the two of them stood in front of the academy's teacher at the same time, he could only be an errand boy who passed on the news, while Shang Xia was already chatting and laughing with the fourth-level manager and the third-level talisman master.
Zhang Haogu saw that the staff delivering the news in front of him was distracted, and he couldn't help but asked with some displeasure: "What's the matter with you?"
The young warrior was shocked, quickly collected his thoughts, and spoke again to report: "Mr. Zhang, two gentlemen, the formation hall is urging us again. We hope that even if we cannot deliver all the formation talismans, we must at least deliver some of the formation talismans first. Deliver first.”
Zhang Haogu, Gong and Fan both looked unhappy when they heard this.
"Thousands of talismans, do they think they can be made so easily?"
Fan Yuanhui, who seemed to have a bad temper, couldn't help but said angrily.
Zhang Haogu waved his hand, indicating that Fan Yuanhui didn't need to say anything. He looked at the visitor and said in a gentle tone: "How much is the part that Zhentang said?"
The young warrior hurriedly said: "According to the news from Master Chu of the Formation Hall, they are almost ready to set up the core of the formation disk for the grand formation. As long as our Futang can provide twenty-four third-level formation talismans and second-level formations." One hundred and eight pieces, and four to five hundred first-order talismans, then they can complete the initial construction of the guardian array. At that time, we only need to slowly complete the remaining talismans, and then gradually fill them in."
Fan Yuanhui immediately snorted and said: "It turns out that this little girl was sent by Zhentang this time. What does she mean by saying this? Is she deliberately trying to embarrass us?"
Gong Hang was also a little dissatisfied and said: "The guard formation at Zuowangpo was originally arranged as it was before at Tongyou Peak, so the people in the formation hall were naturally well prepared. But now the academy has temporarily changed the guard formation into a talisman formation. Our Talisman Hall was completely unprepared in advance. The core of their formation discs did not need to be remade and could still be used. However, we were suddenly given the task of more than a thousand formation talisans in the formation hall. We were rushing to put them on the shelves, but now we are urging them. Wake us up."
Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said sternly to the two third-level talisman masters: "In any case, it is a fact that we are now sitting on Wangpo and continuing to guard the formation. Since we can set up the framework of the guarding formation first, then we will Just make some of the formation symbols first."
Having said this, Zhang Haogu looked at Shang Xia and said with a smile: "Besides, we now have a third-level talisman master in the formation hall. I think the progress will be improved a lot."
Gong Hang just smiled out of politeness when he heard this, while Fan Yuanhui shook his head with distrust.
Zhang Haogu didn't notice the expressions on the faces of the two third-level Talisman Masters. He just looked at the young warrior and said, "You have to go to the formation hall again and tell Instructor Chu Jiachu that the Talisman Hall agrees with her plan. Let’s make some of the formation symbols first.”
The young warrior apologized, turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhang Haogu looked at the three of them and said with a wry smile: "The main thing to look at next is the three of them."
Gong Hang is the oldest in the Talisman Hall and has the highest level of talisman making. He said: "Without further delay, I will continue the production of the third-level talisman with Master Fan. It's just that Master Shang is new here, so he needs to make adjustments first." One or two?”
Shang Xia smiled and said: "There is no need to adjust. Since we have to seize the time, we can start making the formation talisman now."
Gong Hang nodded and said: "In that case, let's ask Xiao Shang Talisman Master to start making the second-level formation talisman first."
Shang Xia was slightly startled, with a hint of amusement in his smile, but he did not answer.
Zhang Haogu, who was standing next to him, said "Hey" and said, "He is also a third-level talisman master, why not let him also join in the production of third-level talismans?
Although Mr. Chu from the formation hall said that the first batch of third-order formation talismans only required twenty-four, I remember that you two have only completed less than ten, right? "
Gong Hang smiled and said nothing, but the look he looked at Shang Xia had a meaning of "I am doing it for your own good, and I don't know what is good and what is evil."
Fan Yuanhui, who was next to him, had no inhibitions at all and sneered directly: "If you say that the young Shang Talisman Master has made a third-level martial talisman, we naturally believe it. To become a third-level Talisman Master at this age is naturally a genius, and so do we. The font library is not as good. However, the efficiency of making talismans for third-level talisman masters also depends on the efficiency. Although the formation hall has now reduced the number of required talismans, the production of third-level talisman paper is not easy, in case too much is damaged during the production process. , it’s a small matter of wasting resources, but a big matter of delaying the layout of the Siwangpo Talisman Array.”
When it comes to this, there is nothing Shang Xia can't understand.
Although these two third-level talisman masters from the formation hall were very polite to him on the surface, they still did not trust his third-level talisman-making skills.
Perhaps in their view, as a direct descendant of the Shang family, he, a third-level talisman master, was probably not forced to make use of the family's massive resources. Maybe it was due to luck, and the success rate of making talismans might be low. Gotta be scary.
And this time I joined Futang, I am afraid that I still have the purpose of using the resources of the academy to practice.
Rather than giving the difficult-to-make third-level talisman paper to Shang Xia, an "unreliable" third-level talisman master, it would be better to send him to make second-level talismans.
This can not only save the small number of third-level talisman masters, but also greatly increase the production speed of second-level talismans.
After all, it is inevitable to say that Shang Xia still has the experience of making third-level martial talismans. Even if it is just luck, then his efficiency in making second-level martial talismans that is one level lower will not be too bad.
Zhang Haogu frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he was slightly dissatisfied with the arrangement of the two third-level talisman masters, after all, these two people were doing it out of selfish motives, so he didn't want to criticize them harshly.
The reason is that Zhang Haogu himself does not know much about the details of the third-level Shang Xia Talisman Master.
Shang Xia smiled at this time and said, "How many third-level talisman papers have the Talisman Hall prepared so far?"
Gong Hang could hear the unconvinced tone in Shang Xia's tone, and he didn't want to pay more attention to it. It was obvious that Zhang Haogu also looked over and could only reply: "Currently, we only have twenty-nine third-level talisman papers." There will be more third-level talisman papers produced in the coming period, but before the current batch of supplies is used up, based on the level of the talisman craftsmen in the formation hall, we can only make six or seven more third-level talisman papers at most."
Zhang Haogu was startled when he heard this and said subconsciously: "Are these supplies going to be used up again?"
Gong Hang was about to explain, and complained a few words about the insufficient supplies, which was also one of the reasons for slowing down the progress of Futang, but he was interrupted by Shang Xia next to him.
"How many third-order talismans have been made so far?" Shang Xia asked.
Gong Hang was a little dissatisfied with the tone of Shang Xia's direct inquiry, but he couldn't get angry in front of Zhang Haogu, so he could only say coldly: "Gong and Master Fan Fu have already made eight pieces."
Shang Xia said "Huh" and thought: "The first batch of third-order talismans only requires twenty-four. In addition to the eight already made, sixteen third-order talismans still need to be made. There are still two third-order talismans. Nineteen pieces, plus the six or seven that will be newly made in the future, that is thirty-five or six third-level talisman papers..."
Having said this, Shang Xia looked at Zhang Haogu and said with a smile: "The production of the formation talisman is relatively simple compared to the martial talisman of the same level. Perhaps before this batch of supplies is used up, we can make the twenty-four third-level formations." The symbols are ready."
"Oh?" Zhang Haogu's eyes lit up.
"Hmph, arrogant!" Fan Yuanhui dismissed it.
