It was the first time Master Ban had seen such a “kind” look on Elder Yu’s face.
Having dealt with Elder Yu for so many years, his impression had always been that of a bad temper, sour face, stubborn, and not the least bit shy of swearing at people.
But now, Elder Yu looked exactly like a “benevolent” grandfather…
It was as if he had become a different person.
Master Ban really felt enlightened.
Indeed, Mo Hua was somewhat tired. Drawing Formations on various large construction materials consumed a significant amount of Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, yet it was still within his expected limits.
“I’m fine, I need to sit in meditation and rest for a while.”
Mo Hua said, though what he actually wanted to do was to use a Meditation Technique to recover his Divine Sense.
“Alright, take your time to rest, no rush,” said Elder Yu kindly, and then he didn’t bother Mo Hua any longer but instead examined the Formations that Mo Hua had completed, thinking to himself that Master Ban was indeed right, they were both neat and beautiful.
Upon hearing Elder Yu’s words, Master Ban suddenly became concerned.
Elder Yu could afford not to rush, but he couldn’t.
He pulled Elder Yu aside and quietly asked, “How many Formation Masters have you hired?”
“What do you mean by ‘how many Formation Masters’?”
“Formation Masters who draw Architectural Formations.”
Elder Yu was slightly taken aback.
Master Ban was stunned, “Don’t tell me it’s just this kid, Mo Hua, alone.”
Elder Yu hesitated for a moment, “Just one, that should be enough, right…?”
Master Ban said with minor indignation, “How could one be enough? With so many Formations, how could this child possibly finish them all? Even if he could do it by himself, this project will be delayed until who knows when…”
With such a large Refinery Shop and so many craftsmen, how could it afford such a delay…
Elder Yu stroked his beard and also began to frown.
He hadn’t actually given this matter much thought; as far as the Formations were concerned, he had always been confident in Mo Hua’s ability.
Even if he weren’t confident, it wouldn’t help since he didn’t understand Formations himself.
But Master Ban made a valid point; the Architectural Formation Map was filled with dense and intricate Formations, countless ones, and he wondered if Mo Hua, just a boy, could really finish them all.
He shouldn’t draw too much that excessive consumption of Divine Sense could damage his Sea of Consciousness.
Elder Yu was somewhat worried; it was better for the progress of the Refinery Shop to be slow rather than for Mo Hua to be overworked.
But then Elder Yu thought that with anything related to Formations, Mo Hua usually had everything well thought out; if he hadn’t raised any concerns, there probably wouldn’t be any problems.
Elder Yu asked Master Ban, “Generally, with so many Formations, how many Formation Masters would be needed to complete them?”
“At least five or six, or even up to a dozen,” he replied.
Elder Yu was startled, “That many?”
Master Ban couldn’t help but give him a disdainful look, “What did you expect? Architectural Formations consist of numerous Formation Patterns; it’s not something one or two Formation Masters could complete.”
Elder Yu’s face turned red, but luckily his skin was dark, and it didn’t show.
This was something he truly didn’t understand.
Previously, the Monster Hunters were poor; they had no Spirit Stones to build such a large Refinery Shop, and simply constructing a few rooms was already quite an achievement, which barely required any Formations.
Now, having come into a windfall, they had considered building a Refinery Shop so that the Loose Cultivators at the base level could have an easier life. Otherwise, he might still not know that dealing with Architectural Formations was such a difficult task.
If not for Mo Hua, hiring Formation Masters would probably have cost a fortune in Spirit Stones.
Once the Refinery Shop and the Alchemist’s Business were built and began operating for profit, he definitely had to allocate more Spirit Stones to Mo Hua.
Elder Yu thought to himself.
