The most intelligent general in the world

After a good rest, Zhang Liang carefully examined the palace he had condensed with magic. Although it was far smaller than the Zhang family mansion in Xinzheng City, it was more than enough to accommodate a hundred people.

This place was actually a residence carefully arranged by Zhang Liang, mainly for his trusted personnel to live in, and also a place for his own practice. Later, he condensed more houses on the mountainside, but these houses were used to accommodate Zhang's private army. Naturally, they were not as luxurious as the palace, but the space was ample.

Zhang Liang arranged a large number of houses on the mountainside in one go. They surrounded the entire mountainside. He also specially planned and built a martial arts training ground for soldiers. After all the houses were completed, they could accommodate a thousand people.

However, by the time everything was set up, it was almost dusk, and most of the day had passed. Zhang Liang was not in a hurry to go back, but decided to spend the night with Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui in the newly built palace on the mountainside. Although it was just a newly built stone house, it was enough for them to deal with one night. After all, Zhang Liang was not a person who pursued a luxurious life.

The next morning, Zhang Liang began to set up the formation. "Wushuang Gui, bring me that box." He whispered. "Yes, sir!" Wushuang Gui immediately brought the big box he had brought from Zhang's house.

After opening the box, Zhang Liang found it was filled with spiritual medicine seeds and jade pieces of various shapes and sizes. These jade pieces were different from ordinary jades, and each piece had a mysterious and strange feeling. In fact, these were all array talismans made by Zhang Liang himself, a total of 108 pieces.

Zhang Liang placed the jade pieces one by one in the appropriate places on the mountain, taking every step carefully and cautiously. Sometimes, he even spent half an hour to place a piece of jade. Until all 108 pieces of jade were placed, a day passed quietly.

Zhang Liang looked up at the sky, took a short rest, and without further delay, he walked straight to the huge spiritual tree and began to pinch the magic formula. One after another, mysterious magic seals were formed in his hands. After performing it 108 times in a row, the whole mountain was filled with fog and spiritual energy surged. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathered. In the center of the jade piece, the originally thick fog gradually dissipated without a trace.

It was unknown how long it took for this change to gradually subside. At this moment, the fog in the palace complex had long disappeared, but the spiritual energy here became extremely dense, almost ten times that of the outside world. However, the thick fog on the mountain still existed and had not completely disappeared. It was just isolated outside by the formation set up by Zhang Liang. Now the area covered by the thick fog is just a hundred steps away from the houses on the mountainside.

"The dojo has taken shape!" Zhang Liang nodded, but he looked extremely tired. Arranging the formation was like refining the elixir, which required extreme concentration. If you made a mistake, all your efforts would go to waste. After two days of high-intensity work, he was extremely tired.

"Young master, it's really comfortable to live here. I think if I practice here, my efficiency will be many times faster than usual! Is this the spirit gathering formation you mentioned?" Yan Lingji couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, this is the Spirit Gathering Array, but it is more than that. This array actually includes three arrays in one: the first is the Spirit Gathering Array, which can gather spiritual energy; the second is the Coma Array, any cultivator with a cultivation level lower than the Grandmaster level within the range of the array will lose their way and become confused; the last one is the Killing Array!" Zhang Liang smiled and waved his hand. Suddenly, a huge sword ten feet long condensed in the air. The cold aura it exuded and the vast power of heaven and earth it contained were shocking.

Zhang Liang went on to say: "The essence of the formation is to use the power of heaven and earth for your own use. Although my formation has just been formed, it can condense nine such giant swords at the same time. Within this formation, even if it is a land immortal, I can make it resist for a while; as for any master-level expert, they can be blasted to death!"

What Zhang Liang did not mention is that the current formation only has 108 array symbols, which can be increased to 360. By then, if Zhang Liang personally presides over the formation, he will not be afraid even of the immortals on land.

The formation draws on the power of heaven and earth. The more complete the formation is, the stronger its power will be. Similarly, the higher the cultivation level of the person who presides over the formation, the greater the power he can exert.

After another night of rest on the mountain, on the third day, Zhang Liang began to arrange the medicinal fields. In the world of immortal cultivation, whether it is a sect or an immortal cultivation family, they all have their own exclusive medicinal fields. Some forces even directly occupy a planet or a small world to grow spiritual medicine.

Zhang Liang did not pursue that kind of luxurious lifestyle, nor did he have that kind of strength. However, it was more than enough for him to cultivate a spiritual field in the Taoist temple as a medicine garden. As for the location, Zhang Liang had already reserved a piece of flat land of about ten acres to the east of the palace.

The construction of the medicine garden first requires the cultivation of spiritual fields to enrich the soil with spiritual energy. The land of this mountain has attracted three years of spiritual energy erosion since the spiritual tree on the mountain took shape, making the soil rich in spiritual energy, so Zhang Liang does not need to cultivate the land again.

Around the medicinal field, Zhang Liang also set up a small formation, which has multiple functions such as gathering spirits, exorcising evil spirits, and preventing insects, providing basic protection for the medicinal garden. Next, Zhang Liang planted various spiritual medicine seeds one by one in the medicinal garden according to their different characteristics.

But this was not enough. Because the mountain was filled with poisonous fog, there were almost no animals, and plants and insects were also very rare, but not completely absent. Zhang Liang found a lot of wild spiritual medicines. So he spent some time transplanting the wild spiritual medicines on the mountain into the medicine garden one by one...
