"Kid, you can't forge it using that old man's peachwood sword." Just as Fu Tianyu was about to start, the Demon King spoke up.
"Why? You didn't say that the peachwood sword was effective for setting up the binding spirit array?" Fu Tianyu retorted. During the previous month, he had done a lot of digging to extract information from the Demon King's stomach.
"You idiot! I mean, you can't forge it exactly like that old man's sword. It wasn't said that you shouldn't use the peachwood sword. The old man's peachwood sword is a single piece, but when you want to set up an array, you need interconnected peachwood swords. Otherwise, the effect will be much worse. Now I'll teach you a symbol. Use the Yang Fire to engrave this symbol onto the peachwood sword." The Demon King said gruffly.
As a spirit entity, now he actually had to teach Fu Tianyu how to deal with spirit entities. It was really awkward, but in order to be able to have spirit entities for meals as soon as possible, he couldn't care so much.
Generally speaking, spirit entities cannot be randomly devoured. Otherwise, it might scatter one's own spiritual intelligence, and then one would truly lose one's soul. But the Demon King was in a different situation now. His soul essence was fused with a dragon essence, and was different from ordinary spirit entities.
If other spirit entities encountered the Soul-Defending Pearl, they would definitely lose their souls and spirit. But now, the Soul-Defending Pearl, although restricting his freedom, gave him an extremely convenient means to devour other spirit entities. With the Soul-Defending Pearl suppressing them, other spirit entities couldn't move around inside it. Of course, they could enjoy it freely. Even the snake spirit was so powerful at the beginning.
According to the drawing method of the so-called symbol demonstrated by the Demon King using his spiritual power, Fu Tianyu practiced for a long time before finally mastering this symbol. Then he began to process the peachwood sword.
"Old Demon, how should I engrave this peachwood sword? Can I just use the Yang Fire to burn out the shape directly?" Fu Tianyu acted like a well-behaved student, asking when he didn't understand.
"First, dry the peachwood sword with the Yang Fire, then concentrate your Yang Fire on both sides of the sword and draw the symbol I just taught you." The Demon King simply said.
The symbol taught by the Demon King was not complicated, but it required a continuous effort without any pauses in the middle. This was indeed difficult for him.
Fu Tianyu could write good characters, but he might not be able to carve good symbols. As a result, the first peachwood sword he made was quickly carved into an unknown shape by him. The peachwood swords made by Luo Si Feng were not just one hundred and eight pieces. He could do experiments first.
After discarding five peachwood swords in a row, Fu Tianyu finally mastered the method of engraving symbols with the Yang Fire. Looking at the peachwood sword he made, Fu Tianyu felt relieved. It was very small, and it was extremely easy to make mistakes in controlling the Yang Fire.
"Old Demon, is this peachwood sword okay?" Fu Tianyu asked boastfully, this was his only finished product so far, waiting for the Demon King's inspection.
"Sort of usable, kid. Nine peachwood swords can set up a small array. Why do you make so many?" The monster asked.
"This is for contingency. It is said that there are several spirit entities wandering around this area these days. To be on the safe side, I want to wipe them out all at once. Otherwise, if they are alarmed, it will be difficult to find them later." Fu Tianyu said excitedly, as if he was dealing with not spirit entities but rabbits or something that he could handle easily.
"Besides, old fellow, with these spirit creatures as supplements, you can recuperate for a while now. You must keep your word and teach me a set of sword techniques first, and then tell me how to accelerate the transformation of the Yang Qi."
"Alright, we'll talk about it when we catch the spirit creatures," said the Demon King. He moved his mouth, almost spitting out saliva.
Fu Tianyu looked at the palm of his right hand. It no longer made him feel terrified as it did at the beginning, but still a bit cold. This guy's talisman expression was really not good.
Until the sun was about to set, Fu Tianyu finally completed the forging of 108 peachwood swords. There were still a few left, which he placed aside. It was time to test if this binding spirit array was effective. So he left the valley.
The people of Tang San Dao were already getting impatient. Seeing Fu Tianyu walk in, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Brother Fu, are you ready? Big brother is waiting to see your great display of power." Tang San Dao hurriedly asked.
Just now they had asked the Iron Stupid fellow, and until Fu Tianyu dealt with the spirit creatures, he actually had some methods. But the Iron Stupid didn't tell them exactly what methods Fu Tianyu would use to deal with the spirit creatures.
"Alright, Master Zhang, please take me to the place where the spirit creatures often appear. Let's go there for a walk, okay?" Fu Tianyu turned to Zhang Fangyang and said.
The people of the Earth Defense Department encountered spirit creatures the most due to their defensive duties. So Zhang Fangyang, as the leader of the Earth Defense Department, should be familiar with where the spirit creatures frequently appeared.
"No problem, Deputy Chief Fu, follow me." Zhang Fangyang didn't refuse and was very curious about exactly what methods Fu Tianyu would use to deal with the spirit creatures.
"Brother Fu, let's go and have a look too, how about it?" Luo Si Feng asked. He was also quite experienced and didn't think Fu Tianyu looked like someone who could capture spirits, so he wanted to go and have a look.
"Sorry, this won't work. If too many people go there, it won't be effective anymore. And we need to move quickly. As long as the sun is still up and there is still sufficient Yang Qi in the universe, let's first set up what needs to be set up." Fu Tianyu refused.
When Tang San Dao and others heard Fu Tianyu say this, they were a little disappointed. But the important thing was the matter at hand.
Fu Tianyu was already familiar with the terrain around the Meng Gang. After all, how the Earth Defense Department arranged the patrols and defenses back then was arranged by him. After following Zhang Fangyang for a round, he discovered that when there were sufficient personnel, Zhang Fangyang had already strengthened the defense here a lot.
"Deputy Chief Fu, this is one of the places where spirit creatures appear most frequently." Zhang Fangyang led Fu Tianyu to a jujube tree and pointed at the tree roots.
This was originally a very good observation post. Standing here, one can have a wide view. Unfortunately, it was occupied by the spirit creatures.
"Do those spirit creatures often appear here?" Fu Tianyu noticed the problem at this location immediately. Because this was exactly the position he had arranged as a secret post before.
"Yes, several such places have been occupied by the spirit creatures. We don't know exactly what these spirit creatures want. It seems they are spying on the internal situation of our group. However, we have no intersection with the spirit creatures at all. We really don't understand at all." Zhang Fangyang looked very frustrated. Since the appearance of the spirit creatures, he had to cancel these posts where the spirit creatures frequently appeared. If someone really wanted to do harm to the Mang Gang, it would be much easier to sneak into the internal of the Mang Gang.
Generally, spirit creatures rarely appear in front of humans. After all, there are many humans who can pose a threat to the spirit creatures. As long as a martial artist can reach the state of releasing true qi, they can kill or injure the spirit creatures.
Currently, there is no one in the Mang Gang who can reach the state of releasing true qi. This is something that only a fifth-level martial artist can do. That's why they were so worried by the few spirit creatures.
Fu Tianyu asked Zhang Fangyang to step back a few steps and observe the terrain.
This place is a bit uneven. To set up the binding spirit array, certain calculations are necessary.
Watching Fu Tianyu constantly feeling on the ground and making hand gestures from time to time, Zhang Fangyang had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't disturb Fu Tianyu.
Because this was the first time to set up the binding spirit array, Fu Tianyu had to be cautious. While he was calculating the position, he was still constantly discussing with the old ghost in his mind.
Fortunately, the old ghost was extremely generous in providing food for him. He answered every question that Fu Tianyu had. Soon, Fu Tianyu determined how to set up the binding spirit array here, and each position had been calculated.
Taking out nine peachwood swords, Fu Tianyu, under the gaze of Zhang Fangyang, inserted one here and one there. The nine peachwood swords were placed in a circle about four or five meters in front of the jujube tree. Some even reached the slope.
"Alright, Deputy Chief Zhang, let's go to the next place." After Fu Tianyu confirmed again, he clapped his hands.
"Is that all?" Zhang Fangyang couldn't tell what Fu Tianyu had done at all. His face was full of curiosity.
"Good, it's fine. Just wait for those spirit creatures to come out. As soon as they enter my circle, they won't be able to escape." Fu Tianyu said very confidently. Although he hadn't tested it, since the old ghost said it was fine, there should be no problem.
Here, who else has the urgent desire to catch the spirit creatures? This is their food.
Zhang Fangyang, with a lot of questions in his mind, led Fu Tianyu to the next location. After testing once, Fu Tianyu's speed was much faster. In no time, he had set up everything. When they had finished setting up the seven places where the spirit creatures had appeared, the sky had completely darkened.
"Deputy Chief Zhang, let's wait and see. Come on, let's go back to have a full meal and watch the show tonight." Fu Tianyu patted Zhang Fangyang's shoulder and walked back directly.
The night eventually came. The guards of the guard department who were responsible for night watch were paired up, standing on their posts with trembling hearts. These days, the appearance of the spirit creatures had made everyone extremely frightened. Although the spirit creatures didn't do anything to them, they could see these things almost every night, which made them very scared. Who knows if these things would suddenly attack.
After Fu Tianyu had eaten his fill, he led Tang Sanzhu and others to a hidden place opposite the jujube tree where he had first set up the binding spirit array. He also set up another binding spirit array in their hiding place to prevent any spirit creatures from passing through here suddenly.
The night wind blew past, making everyone a little scared. Now they couldn't speak, and could only widen their eyes and look at the other side. After waiting for a long time, no spirit creature appeared. Fu Tianyu couldn't help but feel a bit worried. If the spirit creature appeared from another place, then all the binding spirit array he had set up would be wasted.
Fortunately, when they became impatient with the waiting, a faint shadow finally emerged from not far away from the jujube tree.
This made everyone even more unable to breathe.
"Sure enough, there is a spirit creature. Now is the time to test the binding spirit array." Fu Tianyu was overjoyed in his heart, as if he couldn't wait for more spirit creatures to appear.
