This Move Was Both Safe and Risky!

Chu Xinghe really wanted to slap himself right now.

Over the years, when recruiting disciples, what was he thinking, always taking in useless people? Wasn't it just to waste more of the sect's resources...?

But what happened...? This bunch of good-for-nothings became gods... Damn it, now I, Chu Xinghe, don't even know what kind of disciples to recruit!

But I never expected that I, Chu Xinghe, had taken the wrong path!

There are no absolute losers in this world. As long as you find the right path, even the most hopeless loser can rise to the top.

The big shots from Vast Heaven Holy Land may not have any other skills, but they're incredibly resourceful...

No matter how useless someone is, in the eyes of these big shots, they can all be developed into someone with value.

So this is the reason why I, Chu Xinghe, have failed for so many years!

However, Ma Liang's recruitment plan for array masters completely changed this situation!

If you recruit a loser, and happen to find the right approach, that loser can turn their life around!

Conversely, if you recruit not useless individuals, but array masters...

Array masters have their own complete Body Refining... and they are definitely not useless!

However, under the existing array master Body Refining, the success rate of all array masters is what it is!

Even if you had the entire Formation Spirit Palace plus the White Tiger Holy Venerable with cheat codes, the success rate of a formation master would still be no more than 10%!

If out of three thousand disciples, three hundred will eventually become array masters, that would be the best possible outcome!

And it's not just the 10% success rate; the most crucial thing is that the energy expenditure for the formation master is incredibly high!

The energy expenditure of one formation master is equivalent to that of ten ordinary disciples, and that's an understatement.

In other professions, the harder you work, the more successful you become...

The harder a formation master works, the more successful they are not guaranteed to be, but the greater the effort they put in, the more energy they expend!

Because as a formation master, every effort you make inevitably requires the use of resources to set up formations!

Setting up formations consumes resources... Isn't that exciting?

Chu Xinghe admitted his mistake... He Chu Xinghe, was truly wrong!

I used to always try to take shortcuts, but I always ended up getting overtaken and outrun on the curves...

This time, Chu Xinghe is determined not to take shortcuts...

A formation master! We absolutely need a formation master!

These three thousand array masters have entered our Vast Heaven Holy Land. Regardless of their Future, just look at these past two years – haven't they been consuming resources like crazy?

As for the boomerang blade, Chu Xinghe can't worry about that now...

The boomerang blade has to complete its full spin before it can cut me!

As the saying goes, enjoy every second of happiness, and worry about the future later!

At this moment, Ma Liang didn't know what Senior Brother Xinghe was thinking, Ma Liang asked, "Senior Brother Xinghe, do you also think this plan is too risky?"

Just as Ma Liang was shaking his head and smiling wryly, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Ma Liang... have you ever heard the saying that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?"

"Risk and reward sometimes go hand in hand. If three thousand array masters can truly be trained to their full potential, it will be a huge boost to our entire Vast Heaven Holy Land! So I think it's feasible!"

Ma Liang: "???"

"Senior Brother Xinghe... you... you're not joking, are you?"

"Are you kidding me? Ma Liang, your idea is brilliant and opens up a whole new way of thinking. Young people shouldn't hesitate when they think of something, but instead bravely do it!"

Ma Liang: "But... but the White Tiger Holy Venerable said it's too risky... I've discussed this with the Grand Elder, and he also thinks it's a bit too risky... The Grand Elder means we should be more cautious!"

"Furthermore, Senior Brother Xinghe, if we recruit only formation masters, won't there be objections from the outside world... After all, we only recruited all the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits last year, and many geniuses have been waiting for two years this year. If we tell them now that we're not recruiting them, but only formation masters, they'll probably be very disappointed!"

Ma Liang is right. Last year, Vast Heaven Holy Land did not recruit other disciples, causing many people to wait for a whole year. Although some people chose other forces, some geniuses who yearned for Vast Heaven Holy Land were still waiting for the opportunity to enter Vast Heaven Holy Land.

If we were to tell these people who have waited a year that they are only recruiting array masters this year, and that their wait has been in vain, what a huge blow that would be to them!

Upon hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!

Because what Ma Liang said makes sense!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe said, "The solution is simple... There's no need to announce that we're recruiting three thousand array masters. Just follow the normal, safe approach and recruit disciples as usual... But after recruiting them, send them to the Formation Spirit Palace for array master training! That solves the problem!"

Ma Liang: "Huh????"

Ma Liang was truly dumbfounded... Um... Senior Brother Xinghe, do you want to hear what you're saying...?

We need to recruit three thousand array masters, but instead of recruiting three thousand array masters, we're recruiting three thousand ordinary disciples and training them as array masters? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?

Ma Liang said that although Ma Liang knew that most geniuses were not outstanding in one aspect, but outstanding in all aspects, they might also have extremely strong talent in formations.

Even if they have talent in formations, aren't they still far behind true formation geniuses?

Seeing Ma Liang's completely bewildered expression, Chu Xinghe was furious!

What's so outrageous?

What's so outrageous about this? First of all, do those prodigies even have talent for formations?

What the hell? Their array formation talent isn't as good as the array formation prodigies? Isn't that even better? They've successfully resolved a crisis where maybe 10% of the three thousand array formation masters might still have a chance of success!

Sending these three thousand disciples in... let alone achieving even one success, if ten of them become successful array masters, that would be considered a success!

So, have we solved the fatal bug that allowed formation master disciples to have a success rate as high as 10%?

Furthermore, Ma Liang, you completely misunderstand my good Senior Brother Xinghe... Weren't you just hesitating between taking risks and playing it safe?

Now, Senior Brother Xinghe has successfully solved this problem for you...

We're neither adventurous nor risky; Senior Brother Xinghe will show you how to make adventure incredibly safe!

"Tell me, were these three thousand disciples recruited in a safe and secure manner?"

Ma Liang nodded...

"Tell me, isn't it risky to send these three thousand disciples to learn formations?"

Ma Liang nodded again...

"You're saying that even if these three thousand disciples don't become array masters, can't they be sent to other palaces for safer training?"

Ma Liang continued nodding...

"So is there a problem? Isn't our adventure perfectly safe?"

Ma Liang was almost going crazy...

Right now, Ma Liang is really looking adorable with teary eyes...

Is this Senior Brother Xinghe?

Aren't risk-taking and playing it safe antonyms?

Senior Brother Xinghe is truly the first person to make an adventure so safe!

Recruiting three thousand array masters is too risky... but recruiting three thousand geniuses is much safer, isn't it!

While training these three thousand prodigies as array masters is too risky... isn't it also a safer option that they can switch to other disciplines later on, even if they don't learn them?

So at this moment, Ma Liang was truly amazed by Xinghe's Celestial Person Senior Brother Xinghe!

While others are considering whether to take risks or play it safe... Senior Brother Xinghe's combination of risky and safe strategies is simply insane!

At this moment, Ma Liang looked at his senior Senior Brother Xinghe with teary eyes!

It has to be Senior Brother Xinghe! The problem that I, Ma Liang, have been racking my brains for so long without being able to solve, was resolved clearly and simply by Senior Brother Xinghe in just a few words.

In this game, Ma Liang can play it safe or take risks. Although I'm taking risks, I'm taking them very safely!

At this moment, Ma Liang felt no more tension or worry!

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Xinghe Ma Liang know what to do now! Ma Liang set off for Haotian City immediately! Please wait for news of my victory, Senior Brother Xinghe!"

After Ma Liang finished speaking, he strode off with his head held high!

Looking in the direction Ma Liang left, Chu Xinghe was practically laughing his head off!

This time, even the King of Heaven himself has arrived, and I Chu Xinghe, am going berserk!

These three thousand disciples, whom I personally arranged to study formations at the Formation Spirit Palace, aren't even three thousand true formation prodigies. Even if there are any among them, tell me, aren't they extremely rare?

While most of them may have talent in formations, isn't it a bit absurd that they all specialize in formations?

In this situation, after studying for one or two years, their resources are depleted... and they haven't achieved any results... In this case, they have no choice but to transfer to another palace to begin their studies...

What the hell? Doesn't this waste two years of my junior brother's time?

Please rest assured, fellow disciples, your Senior Brother Xinghe is quite skilled in alchemy!

I, Senior Brother Xinghe, will personally make up for the two years you've wasted!

I guarantee you won't suffer any losses; in fact, you'll progress even faster!

So, in this back and forth, we first had the novice disciples consume a wave of sect resources at the Formation Spirit Palace, and then, in order to make up for the losses of the past two years, I, Chu Xinghe, consumed another wave of resources again by refining medicine...

That's practically a double drain on my resources!

See, this is what true happiness for everyone looks like!

Tell me, does the Formation Spirit Palace have any disciples?

So, do you think Ma Liang doesn't need to worry about it anymore?

Tell me, are the disciples you recruited safe or not...?

Even with unparalleled talent, array masters find it incredibly difficult to even begin. These prodigies, while possessing decent array talent, are still struggling to even get started under these circumstances.

If you can't even get to the basics, isn't that just a huge waste of resources?

Chu Xinghe said that after the New Year, he Chu Xinghe, not only became more upright... but now he's practically on top of the world!

The Dead Spirit Realm consumes a lot of resources, plus the three thousand novice disciples learning formations also consume a lot of resources...

With this two-pronged approach, I went on a killing spree!

No! Chu Xinghe declared that he would not only use a two-pronged approach, but also a three-pronged approach!

There are still countless spirit stones waiting for me Chu Xinghe, to arrange over there...

Excited and unable to sleep all night, Chu Xinghe went to the kitchen early the next morning and ate ten braised pork hocks, twenty-one roast chickens, nine pig heads, eight braised pork ribs, twelve roast geese, thirty zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), sixteen bowls of tangyuan (sweet rice balls), and more than two hundred dumplings. Then he prepared to use the White Rainbow to imbue the spirit stones with spirits!

Seeing Senior Brother Xinghe get up and leave, Ouyang Ling quickly stopped Senior Brother Xinghe, saying, "Senior Brother Xinghe, what are you doing...? Why are you leaving after only eating half of breakfast?"

Looking at Ouyang Ling in front of him, Chu Xinghe thought, "Junior Sister Ouyang... just eat until you're half full. There are still countless Shadow Ghosts waiting for Senior Brother Xinghe to deal with with his White Rainbow Spirit. Senior Brother can't delay!"

Watching Senior Brother Xinghe leave, Ouyang Ling's eyes welled up with tears. Senior Brother Xinghe had truly devoted himself to the Four Continents, even only managing to eat half a meal for breakfast...
