Chapter 10: Boost the array's power, big time!

In the Wang family residence, the strengthened Misty Spirit Gathering Array is indeed useful.

The spiritual energy in the air is much denser than before.

Spiritual energy slowly seeped into Wang Shan's body.

He clearly felt his wounds healing much faster.

He cultivated all night, and the medicinal effect of the Spirit Blood Branch he had taken earlier was still present.

What was originally a serious injury now feels much lighter.

The pain from the fractured bones has almost disappeared, and his internal injuries are mostly healed.

His injury has recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

There was also something that moved his heart.

With his wounds healed, his internal spiritual energy flowed more smoothly.

He felt he had touched the threshold of the sixth layer of Body Refining.

Just a little bit more was needed.

This discovery lifted Wang Shan's spirits.

Strength is what matters most for survival.

As soon as the sky began to lighten, Wang Shan got up.

His steps were still a bit slow, but not as miserable as last night.

He went straight to the newly acquired ten-mu spirit field.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated.

In the mist, that ten-mu spirit field looked especially vibrant.

The soil had been completely transformed by Jade Spirit Liquid, and then nourished all night by the Misty Spirit Gathering Array.

The Spirit Blood Branch seeds he had just planted yesterday were already mature!

Each Spirit Blood Branch had plump leaves, bright color, and a faint reddish glow.

They grew exceptionally well, far surpassing an ordinary spirit field.

The effect of this Jade Spirit Liquid is truly impressive.

Wang Shan inhaled a breath of grass-and-wood-scented air, his eyes showing a hint of satisfaction.

Time waits for no one.

He hesitated not at all, immediately contacting the Spirit Plant System in his mind.

He used the Batch Harvest function.

Buzz!

An invisible wave swept over the spirit field.

Next, the system's cold voice sounded in his mind.

【System Prompt】: Harvested 857 Spirit Blood Branches, gained 3000 Spirit Plant Points!

Three thousand points!

He watched his Spirit Plant Points jump from barely any to over three thousand.

The worry Wang Shan had been holding finally eased.

Now he had confidence!

He immediately focused and entered the System Mall.

He swiped past many items without a glance, going straight for talismans.

He already had the life-saving Thick Earth Talisman.

What he lacked now was something to defeat enemies!

His goal was clear—the Sharp Metal Talisman!

Price: 1500 Spirit Plant Points.

Exchange!

Wang Shan hesitated not at all and immediately confirmed.

The 1500 Spirit Plant Points were gone.

A talisman emitting a pale golden light, its edges as sharp as a knife, appeared in his hand.

As soon as he took hold, a powerful, murderous aura surged over him.

What a strong sense of sharpness!

Wang Shan praised it in his heart.

With this Sharp Metal Talisman, he now had an attack method capable of threatening a Body Refining Eighth Layer cultivator!

This is not just a talisman; it is hope that can turn defeat into victory at a critical moment.

He felt much safer, but Wang Shan was still not satisfied.

He spent another 500 Spirit Plant Points to exchange for several bottles of ordinary healing medicine, the Return Spring Pill.

Its effect is not as fast as that of the Xisui Flower, but the quantity is large.

It can handle minor injuries, or be saved for his sons.

After doing these, the system still had a little over one thousand Spirit Plant Points left.

Wang Shan did not spend them recklessly.

He intended to keep these points as reserves.

First, in case he gets injured in a fight, he can temporarily exchange for better medicine.

Second, more importantly, he can use them to instantly mature spirit plants at crucial times to replenish his consumption, or exchange them for unexpected trump cards.

Always keep a hand back, it's never wrong.

Having lived in modern society, he knows how important a hidden ace is.

At this time, Wang Zhitao and a few of his sons also came over.

Seeing Wang Shan holding the 【Lower Grade Spirit Stone】 he'd exchanged yesterday, they couldn't help but say.

"Dad, your wound isn't healed yet; why not use these spirit stones to cultivate directly? It would heal faster, and you might even break through to Body Refining Sixth Layer in one go!"

Wang Zhitao's eyes were full of hope.

The other sons also nodded.

They felt that Father's strength was the family's greatest pillar.

Wang Shan, however, shook his head.

He glanced at the indistinct mist outside the courtyard.

"Using spirit stones for cultivation is fast, but now a strong enemy is right nearby, possibly attacking at any moment."

His voice was steady and strong.

"Rather than slightly increasing my own cultivation, strengthening our 'tortoise shell' is what matters most now!"

He had to make sure the family's safety was secured before he took action.

Having said that, he offered no further explanation and produced ten more 【Lower Grade Spirit Stones】.

He followed the mental diagram of the 【Misty Spirit Gathering Array】.

He carefully embedded these faintly glowing spirit stones, one by one, into inconspicuous spots around the courtyard.

These spots are the array's key points.

The last spirit stone was set in place.

Hum—!

The entire Wang Family Courtyard seemed to shudder slightly.

The misty light shield outside suddenly contracted inward, then spread out again.

The shield became thicker and sturdier than before.

The illusory effect also grew stronger.

From outside the wall, one might only feel the fog is denser, unable to see inside at all.

Wang Shan could even feel that this layer of shield seemed to carry a rebound force.

If someone forces their way in, they might be immediately repelled.

The array's power has grown stronger again!

Wang Shan slowly exhaled, feeling the array's changes, and nodded in satisfaction.

Now, with these spirit stones helping, even if a Body Refining Eighth Layer cultivator attacks hard, the 【Misty Spirit Gathering Array】 can hold for a while.

This can buy him enough reaction and preparation time.

He placed the 【Earth-Thick Talisman】 and 【Metal-Sharp Talisman】 properly, keeping them close to his body.

He checked his condition again.

He felt his internal spirit qi was abundant.

His meridians were also unobstructed.

It seemed he was about to break through.

He knew he was not far from Body Refining Sixth Layer.

But for now he cannot enter closed meditation.

He has more important matters.

Wang Shan went again to the ten mu of spirit fields.

The fields had been harvested, lying empty.

He didn't feel the slightest regret.

Instead, his eyes lit up.

These fields are his spirit plant points.

They are his confidence.

He picked up a hoe and planted more 【Spirit Blood Branch】 seeds.

He also planted some other things.

They are fast-growing basic spirit plants that can be exchanged for spirit plant points.

Such as 【Clear Heart Grass】 and 【Condense Spirit Flower】.

These things aren't valuable, but they mature quickly.

They can replenish spirit plant points, useful later.

After finishing these, Wang Shan stood up straight.

The morning sun shone on him.

He felt his body full of strength.

All preparations are ready.

He stood in the courtyard.

His gaze pierced the mist, looking toward the Chen family's side.

His gaze was very sharp.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are!"

The great battle is about to begin.

The atmosphere inside the Wang Family Courtyard was very tense.

Everyone knew that the battle that would decide the family's fate was coming.

At that moment, inside the Chen Family Manor.

Those two black-robed people had finished their breakfast.

Heipao Yi sneered: "Hmph, a little Wang Family dares to provoke our Wan Family—seeking death!"

He felt contemptuous.

"Today I'll let them know what the consequences are for offending the Wan Family!"

Heipao Jia also nodded.

His eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Let's go, settle this quickly to avoid trouble."

The two people's bodies flickered, turning into two black shadows.

They sped toward the Wang Family's direction.

A slaughter was about to begin.

Wang Shan didn't expect the danger to come so quickly.

But he had already prepared himself.

He felt he could lead the Wang Family through this.

He thought: "Come on, let me see what you Wan Family are capable of!"

"My Pishan Palm is not something to be trifled with!"

He had already prepared to fight to the death.

If the Wan Family pushes too hard, he isn't afraid to die together with them.

Even if it means sacrificing this old life of his.

He will also carve a path of survival for the Wang Family!
