Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi were both overwhelmingly amazed.
Mo Hua then took the Formation Diagram to Mr. Zhuang for review.
Mr. Zhuang nodded in approval.
Only then did Mo Hua find the Elder of East Mountain Village to discuss how to construct this Formation.
In Mo Hua’s hands were two diagrams.
One was the Thick Earth Formation Diagram, the other was the current acreage diagram of the Spirit Field.
What the cultivators of East Mountain Village had to do was to alter the acreage diagram of the Spirit Field so that its layout matched that of the Thick Earth Formation Diagram.
This involved many issues.
Which Spirit Fields to keep untouched, which ones to change.
While the Spirit Fields may shift, the total acreage for each household must remain the same, and so on...
The Elder consulted with others, made proper arrangements, and then instructed each Spirit Farmer to take care of their own part before carrying out a unified inspection.
Besides that, they had to purchase Spiritual Ink.
Spiritual Ink required Spirit Stones.
The Spirit Farmers of East Mountain Village each contributed a bit of Spirit Stones, pooling enough together.
About ten robust Spirit Farmers, carrying the Spirit Stones, made a trip to Shangtai City, bought the Spiritual Ink, and then delivered it back to the village.
Mo Hua went along on this trip too.
One reason was that the Spiritual Ink was of the utmost importance, draining nearly half of East Mountain Village’s resources, and thus there could be no mistakes,
The second reason was that the quality of Spiritual Ink varied widely, with prices ranging accordingly.
The Spirit Farmers didn’t understand Formations and could not distinguish between good and bad, so they were easily deceived into buying low-quality Spiritual Ink.
The third reason was the Sun Family.
The Sun Family would not let things rest.
And just as Mo Hua had anticipated, on this trip, he indeed ran into cultivators from the Sun Family.
More than a dozen Spirit Farmers had left East Mountain Village and had barely stepped out of Thousand Families Town when they were shadowed by several sneaky Sun Family cultivators.
They wore the clothes of Spirit Farmers, thinking their disguise was good.
But they couldn’t possibly fool Mo Hua.
With his eleven-pattern Divine Sense, comparable to Foundation Establishment,
These men attempting to tail Mo Hua was like trying to steal while carrying a lantern; Mo Hua would find it hard not to notice them.
Mo Hua didn’t bother to take action; he simply led the group down a few detours and shook off those Sun Family cultivators.
On the return trip, the Sun Family sent even more cultivators to block the way,
But Mo Hua led the group down a secluded mountain path, and they returned to the village safe and sound.
This left the accompanying Spirit Farmers astonished.

Ding Dachuan even stealthily asked:
"Little gentleman, could you possibly know fortune-telling..."
The whereabouts of the Sun Family cultivators, he knew everything like the back of his hand.
Mo Hua couldn’t help but laugh and cry:
"I just have a slightly stronger Divine Sense, that’s why I discovered them in advance."
Ding Dachuan nodded, but clearly didn’t believe him.
The little gentleman is but in the Qi-refining Realm, so even if his Divine Sense is strong, how strong could it be.
He felt that the reason of knowing fortune-telling seemed more reliable...
After that, they began formally constructing the Formation.
While the Formation was being built, some Spirit Farmers patrolled nearby to prevent the Sun Family cultivators from causing trouble.
Among the most active was Bai Zisheng.
Originally, Mo Hua wanted him to help with Drawing the Formation.
He indeed did help.
But not long after he started drawing, upon hearing that people were needed to patrol to guard against the Sun Family in case they caused trouble, he looked at Mo Hua with eager eyes:
"I want to go fight... no, patrol!"
Mo Hua disagreed, "Drawing the Formation is the real business."
Bai Zisheng then sighed.
Being the senior brother, if it were anything else, he wouldn’t ask his junior brother Mo Hua, and would make decisions by himself.
