Chapter 302: Terrifying Consumption, Old Fan Seeks Refuge

After Ling Ruoxue departed, Qin Xiao suddenly remembered that although the grand formation had been activated, it was still entirely open to everyone. He needed to set some restrictions; otherwise, what was the difference between a wide-open formation and having no formation at all?

Fortunately, Master Ji Ci knew Qin Xiao could not manipulate Spiritual Qi. He had therefore used touch-operated or mechanical controls and left an operating diagram in the control room.

The activation room, control room, and energy storage room were all on the tenth floor. Qin Xiao did not need all that space, so Ji Ci had converted it for the formation.

“I need to restrict access to the tenth floor as well. If anyone can come up here, wouldn’t they be able to tamper with my formation as they please?”

He would have to separate the formation’s core area from his own living space and restrict access to the tenth floor. Two layers of safeguards should keep even a traitor from taking control of the formation.

For now, however, he had to familiarize himself with the formation’s controls and check its energy consumption.

Qin Xiao first went to the control room and engaged all the formation’s functions and restrictions, setting it to what should be its normal maintenance state. Afterward, he headed into the energy chamber.

The energy room was nine-sided, something like a Bagua diagram. Each section connected to a central platform that continually supplied energy throughout the formation.

Special formations had been built into all nine Spirit Stone slots. The stones shrank inside them and packed together like rows of sesame seeds.

Qin Xiao swept his Divine Sense over the receptacles. Each slot measured three hundred and thirty-three Spirit Stones in length and width. Doing the math, that was over one hundred and ten thousand stones per slot, totaling nearly one million across all nine.
