Chapter 129: Miniature Chi-amassing Formation
Alchemy was a field that required an in-depth study . It was always much worse without the guidance of a mentor . Ye Chen gripped a book on alchemy in his hands and never stopped reading it every day .

Soon, a few days had passed and several wooden huts that could be lived in had already been built in the valley . Some ordinary clansmen also started to make bricks and tiles . After a year or two in the valley, they should be able to build brick houses .
Tribulation after tribulation, the people of the Ye Clan grew more tenacious and learned to cherish their lives now . The cultivators in the clan had cultivated wildly as if they were mad . With their hard work along with a mysterious cultivation system like the Thunder Emperor Technique, the strength of the Ye Clan would soon rise .
Ye Zhanxiong and the others went out looking for orphans . The Ye Clan needed to become stronger urgently!
It was a bustling scene .
Ye Chen sat on a stone at the corner of the valley . In front of him was a vacant area with many stones scattered around .
“Little Tanuki, is it useful to arrange a primordial formation like the one in the Sunken Jade Tower?” Ye Chen asked Little Tanuki beside him . He remembered the arrangement of the Chi-amassing Formation back when he was in the Sunken Jade Tower .
Little Tanuki shook its head . It did not know either . It did not understand anything about primordial formations .

Ye Chen closed his eyes and recalled . When his Astral Body floated over the primordial Chi-amassing Formation, he had seen the entire array from above . The formation consisted of more than six hundred mysterious boulders . Ye Chen quickly arranged the formation based on the impression in his memory .
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen opened his eyes and saw the formation he had arranged on the ground in front of him . It was the same as the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower, albeit a smaller version .
A long time had passed but he did not see the Chi-amassing Formation operating .
‘It didn’t work? Why?’ Ye Chen was puzzled . The formation he had arranged was the same as the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower . The Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower also automatically ran on its own without any energy driving it . However, his Chi-amassing Formation could not run at all!
Ye Chen felt a little depressed . He bowed his head and contemplated in distress . He felt that he was missing something . Could the most important thing be that golden disc in the middle of the Chi-amassing Formation?
After thinking for a long time, Ye Chen swept his gaze across the six hundred or so stones again .
Ye Chen suddenly realized something mysterious . Looking at these irregularly arranged stones, he seemed to have been struck with inspiration . He jumped down from the towering stone and drew on the mud with a pebble .
“Kan position, Kun position…1” Ye Chen quickly sketched all kinds of diagrams on the ground . Knowledge poured out of his mind, some regarding cultivation and some regarding other matters . Slowly, in Ye Chen’s eyes, the arrangement of these six hundred or so stones seemed to make sense .

Ye Chen barked a laugh and gathered all the stones on the ground . He smoothed out the ground and started arranging the stones one by one again . Each stone was placed in a very strict order .
Little Tanuki opened its eyes curiously and looked at the stones placed in specific positions on the ground . Like a game of Go, each stone was dropped like a piece on a chessboard, forming a bridge between earlier and later stages with countless future possibilities, endlessly profound .
After more than an hour, a miniature version of the primordial Chi-amassing Formation appeared . The moment when Ye Chen placed the final stone, he felt the Celestial Chi in his body surge out .
When his Dantian was about to be emptied, Ye Chen got a fright and quickly used the Flying Dagger to continuously replenish the Celestial Chi in his body .
Creak, creak, the Chi-amassing Formation moved slowly .
Along with the Chi-amassing Formation, the Celestial Chi in the surroundings also started to gather . Slowly, the Chi-amassing Formation ran more smoothly .
Ye Chen understood that the Celestial Chi he had consumed earlier was just an introduction . After the formation started moving, the formation would be able to gather the World Celestial Chi and run on its own . It was not surprising the formation itself did not need to use energy .
Gradually, a golden halo formed in the center of the formation, just like the golden disc in the center of the Chi-amassing Formation in the Sunken Jade Tower .
The Chi-amassing Formation that Ye Chen had arranged was not as good as the one in the Sunken Jade Tower and could not gather a large amount of Celestial Chi at once . Furthermore, it was too small and he could not sit in it to cultivate . However, over time, it would certainly make the Celestial Chi in the valley richer .
Ye Chen could only make a small formation . If it were larger, the Celestial Chi in his body would not be able to support it . He would be drained instantly and the Flying Dagger might not be able to replenish his Celestial Chi in time, causing great damage to his body .
“Not bad!” Ye Chen smiled in satisfaction looking at this Chi-amassing Formation . The effect had already completely exceeded his expectations .
Feeling the Celestial Chi gathering at this place, Ye Changxuan and the others quickly flew over . They were quite confused to see pieces of stones arranged in a strange formation .
“Little Chen, what’s this formation? It can gather Celestial Chi!” Ye Changxuan said in surprise . The effect was quite good . It would be a benefit if one had cultivated beside this formation .
“This formation is called the Chi-amassing Formation . I’m preparing to arrange a few more Chi-amassing Formations in the valley so that the clan can cultivate around the formations . ” Ye Chen smiled slightly . If he placed six or seven Chi-amassing Formations around, as time passed, the Celestial Chi in the valley would become several or even dozens of times stronger than outside .
Ye Chen once again brought about a great surprise to the clan . The clansmen were curious about the formation . Although some tried to understand the formation, after studying it, they found that they were still at a loss . The mystery of the formation was beyond their comprehension .
The valley was becoming more like a paradise . Ye Chen thought with a smile that the Ye Clan might decide to settle down and recuperate here . When the Ye Clan reappeared in front of the eyes of the world, they would surely be a shockingly big shot . At that time, no one would dare to look down upon the Ye Clan anymore .
Ye Chen held the book on alchemy as if he was obsessed . After preparing and understanding it carefully for a few days, he started to try alchemy . The cultivators of the Ye Clan had cultivated beside the Chi-amassing Formation daily . On the other hand, besides making bricks and tiles, the ordinary clansmen also began to cultivate farmland on the plains while others fished in the lakes . The scene was lively and busy .
On this day, Ye Chen walked along the edge of the forest . In the distance, there were suddenly shouts of pleasant surprise from several clansmen deep in the forest .
“What happened?” Ye Chen thought curiously before quickly running to the source of the sound .
