Wu Deshang subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, thinking he was mistaken or hallucinating.
But after rubbing, he found he wasn't mistaken, nor was he hallucinating. The scene before him was as real as it could get. He stood there in shock, his mind unable to process it for a long time!
Qin Yi ignored their reactions. His hand seals changed, and he grabbed at the golden light points in the air.
These golden light points converged into a ball again, and Qin Yi finally infused them into the crystal.
Hoo, hoo, hoo…
As the golden light entered the crystal, a gentle breeze began to blow within the sealed villa.
Immediately after, everyone clearly felt a stream of fresh breeze flowing into the villa from all directions.
Wu Di and the others felt the breeze and were refreshed, their bodies feeling comfortable!
"Spiritual energy, it's celestial spiritual energy!!!"
The next moment, Wu Yao exclaimed in surprise.
That's right, the incoming breeze was indeed celestial spiritual energy.
Wu Di, Wu Deshang, Wu Yuezhou, and Wu Zhongshui all sensed it, each one more shocked and incredulous than the last.
After entering the villa, the celestial spiritual energy gathered around the crystal in Qin Yi's hand.
It was evident that this celestial spiritual energy was being drawn in by the crystal!
Qin Yi released his hand seals and handed the crystal to Wu Di, saying, "There, it's done!"
Wu Di came back to his senses and took the crystal. He clearly saw that within the previously transparent crystal, a pattern had now appeared.
This pattern was a spirit gathering formation.
With the spirit gathering formation active within the crystal, celestial spiritual energy from a certain range in all directions could be absorbed.
Holding the crystal, Wu Di felt the concentration of celestial spiritual energy around them. Especially as the spirit gathering formation worked, the spiritual energy continued to surge in, and the concentration increased. He was so shocked he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Let me see!"
Wu Deshang snatched the crystal and examined it carefully.
As he looked at the spirit gathering formation Qin Yi had set up within the crystal, which was drawing in the surrounding dense celestial spiritual energy, he was utterly amazed and speechless.
Qin Yi witnessed their expressions and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied with this spirit gathering formation?"
"This, this was really set up by you!!!"
Hearing this, Wu Deshang didn't answer but asked in return.
Qin Yi's face showed a few dark lines. He retorted, "Didn't you just see it with your own eyes!"
"No, how could you possibly set up such a high-quality spirit gathering formation with just a piece of crystal?"
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, Wu Deshang still found it hard to believe.
His words seemed to be directed at Qin Yi, yet also like he was talking to himself.
The crystal Wu Di had taken out was indeed a rare material for setting up formations, but it was far inferior to a spirit pearl.
When Wu Di had previously used a spirit pearl as the core to set up a spirit gathering formation, its effect of absorbing celestial spiritual energy was far less than this spirit gathering formation Qin Yi had set up in the crystal tonight.
Moreover, they had placed the spirit pearl in the suburbs of Taidao, in a place between mountains and rivers where celestial spiritual energy was already abundant. The celestial spiritual energy the spirit pearl had drawn into the house at that time was still not as much as the celestial spiritual energy the crystal was drawing into the villa now!
From this, it was evident that the spirit gathering formation Qin Yi had set up within the crystal tonight was of a much higher quality than the spirit gathering formation Wu Di had set up in the spirit pearl.
Several minutes passed, and the emotions of Wu Deshang and the others finally began to calm down.
The way they looked at Qin Yi had drastically changed.
This was true for Wu Di, Wu Deshang, and Wu Yao as well.
Wu Deshang kept the crystal in his hand and did not return it to Qin Yi. He said solemnly, "Young Brother Qin, we may have offended you earlier. Please don't take it to heart. I apologize!"
Qin Yi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Well, Young Brother Qin, this crystal..."
Wu Deshang spoke to Qin Yi again, looking at the crystal in his hand with a reluctant, treasure-like expression.
He didn't finish his sentence, but Qin Yi could guess what he meant from his expression.
The other party didn't want to return the crystal to him and wanted to keep it to study the spirit gathering formation he had just set up within it.
At that moment, Qin Yi, without any hesitation, generously said, "This crystal originally belongs to you, so you can keep it! I won't remove the spirit gathering formation within it either. Consider it a gift!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Deshang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly thanked Qin Yi excitedly.
Wu Di and the others were all extremely thrilled.
With such a high-quality spirit gathering formation given to them by Qin Yi, they could not only use it for the cultivation of the Wu family members, but Wu Deshang and Wu Di could also study it!
"However, according to our previous agreement, as long as I set up a formation that satisfies you, you must gift me a material for setting up formations!"
Qin Yi smacked his lips and said, "Looking at you now, you seem very satisfied with the spirit gathering formation I set up. So, where are the formation materials that should be given to me?"
Wu Deshang said without any hesitation, "Young Brother Qin, rest assured. This old man keeps his word. I will definitely do as promised!"
"Wu Di, let's go. We'll take Young Brother Qin to the material room now!" Wu Deshang said to Wu Di.
Wu Zhongshui, Wu Yuezhou, and even Wu Yao, all showed a flicker of surprise on their faces.
The material room was arguably the most core place of their Wu family.
Normally, only Wu Di and Wu Deshang could enter and exit freely. Other Wu family members, including Wu Yao, could not enter without Wu Di's permission.
Now, Wu Deshang was going to bring an outsider like Qin Yi into the material room. The others were shocked and surprised.
Wu Di also hesitated, standing there, not moving immediately.
Seeing this, Wu Deshang's gaze deepened. "What, is my word no longer valid now?"
"No, Second Uncle. We'll go now..."
Wu Di had no choice but to lead Qin Yi to the material room.
Wu Deshang followed along, while Wu Yao, Wu Zhongshui, and Wu Yuezhou did not.
So, as soon as the three of them left the villa, Wu Yuezhou couldn't help but say, "What does Grandpa Deshang mean? The material room is the most important place in our Wu family. Even Miss has a hard time getting in usually, yet he's so easily bringing an outsider in tonight..."
"Even if Qin Yi set up a high-level spirit gathering formation, he's still an outsider. This is going too far!"
Wu Yao and Wu Zhongshui listened, remaining silent, lost in thought, or recalling the scene of Qin Yi setting up the formation earlier.
Led by Wu Di and Wu Deshang, Qin Yi passed through several attack formations and arrived at a basement.
This basement was the Wu family's material room.
Almost all the materials for setting up formations in the Wu family were stored here when not in use!
