Huo Hai did not set out immediately. Preparing the Spirit Stones and personnel would take some time. Even if they hurried as fast as possible, they would not be able to depart until the next morning.
No one was destined to rest well that night. Huo Hai studied Spirit Formations at home. The formation he intended to use this time had been derived from the natural formation on Cloud Mountain. It could not really be called comprehension; it was merely the simplest imitation. Truly comprehending a natural Spirit Formation was not something Huo Hai could accomplish.
Whether in his research into Spirit Formations or his accumulation of knowledge about them, Huo Hai was still far from sufficient. Even this mere imitation, despite having been researched for some time beforehand, kept him busy for the entire night before it was completed.
The major Lineages and factions of the Western Frontier were also run ragged over Huo Hai's six hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and none of them rested well that night. Six hundred thousand Spirit Stones was not some astronomical figure for the entire Western Frontier.
But producing so many Low-Grade Spirit Stones was not easy either. As a form of currency, Spirit Stones were often recorded on Spirit Master cards as symbols. Such symbols were like the numbers on a credit card. Possessing that much wealth did not mean one could immediately produce an equivalent number of Spirit Stones. They were entirely different concepts.
The army was the same. With a single order from Lian Feng, the soldiers most proficient in Spirit Formations were gathered, and the entire army was thrown into an uproar for the whole night. Those who did not know what was happening could not make heads or tails of the situation.
Huo Hai was not worried.
