Xiao Yu glanced at Qin Xian'er again, ignored her aggrieved expression, and turned to Yang Lin.
"Junior Brother Yang, we've all only just arrived and aren't familiar with the situation here. Please give us an introduction. Then we can ask Senior Brother Wuxuzi to arrange the defenses."
Xiao Yu did not want to discuss his cultivation any further, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
"Ah, yes. I'll explain things to you, senior brothers. This spirit stone mine has five main tunnels..." Yang Lin had been enjoying the spectacle from the sidelines. Caught off guard when Xiao Yu brought up serious business, he froze briefly before recovering and beginning his explanation.
Once Yang Lin had finished describing the mine and the surrounding terrain, Wuxuzi swiftly set about organizing the defenses.
He took out dozens of Array Flags and Array Disks, along with several Jade Slips, and had the cultivators follow the instructions in the slips to deploy a Four Symbols Formation beneath the existing formation, capable of both attack and defense.
After the magic formation was ready, Wuxuzi divided Xiao Yu and the other cultivators into three groups. Each group would take a three-day shift patrolling around the mine and keeping watch against surprise attacks. Those off duty could meditate and cultivate their magical power.
What Xiao Yu had not expected, however, was that Wuxuzi would actually put him and Qin Xian'er in the same group.
Of the other two groups, Wuxuzi would lead the early Foundation Establishment cultivator from Heavenly Gate Fort, while the remaining three would form a group led by Liu Bo, the burly man from Blade Transforming Dock.
Xiao Yu glanced at Wuxuzi. This old Daoist did that on purpose, didn't he?
Wuxuzi winked back at him, his expression practically saying, *I've made an opportunity for you.
