Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16528

Chapter 16526 Upgrade

After dealing with the array symbols, Zhao Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then formed hand seals, and a fiery red protective shield appeared on the castle.

The castle deity stared at the shield, his eyes gleaming. Zhao Hai then spoke, “My lord, if you wish to expand the castle now, you may begin. By the way, please give me the jade stones you have prepared.”

The castle deity nodded, and with a flick of his hand, pieces of yellow jade appeared before him. These jade stones were all meticulously crafted, perfectly square, each one meter on each side. The castle

deity then looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “How is it? Is it enough?”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and replied, “It’s enough. I will begin refining the array symbols now. My lord, you can order the construction of the castle.” With that, Zhao Hai flicked his hand, and the jade stones flew up and landed to the side.

The castle deity glanced at Zhao Hai, then said, “Alright, it’s up to you then.” Immediately after, the castle deity turned and shouted into the castle, “Everyone, begin! Expand the castle according to our original plan!”

Countless people flew out of the castle. These people immediately began taking stones from the castle and piling them outside. After piling the stones, they cast a spell on them, causing them to merge with the stones forming the castle’s foundation. The people worked quickly, expanding the castle’s foundation in no time. Once

the foundation was expanded, they took out bags of soil and spread it on top of the stones. After that, they took out more stones and spread them on top of the soil. In this way, the entire castle’s foundation was completed. The foundation itself wasn’t very thick; two layers of stone plus one layer of soil, totaling only about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) thick.

After laying the foundation, the people began building the city wall. They took out new stones and started building the wall along the edge of the foundation. The wall was quite high, about ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) high, and they also built ramparts outside the wall.

While the people were expanding the castle, Zhao Hai also made his move. With a flick of his hand, a magic circle appeared in front of him and immediately lit up with a red light. Then, with another flick of his hand, a piece of jade fell directly into the magic circle. After a while, the jade turned into a ball of yellow liquid. Then, with another flick of his hand, the liquid turned into a rune. Then, with another flick of his hand, the rune fell to the side. Then, Zhao Hai immediately placed another piece of jade into the magic circle, and the jade once again turned into a rune.

Zhao Hai transformed the jade stones into runes one by one. Once he had transformed all the jade stones into runes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to look and saw that the castle expansion was almost complete.

Zhao Hai stood there watching, and the castle deity also saw him and the runes. Upon seeing the runes, his eyes flashed again. Last time, when that person helped him build the magic array, they hadn’t refined the runes in front of him. Watching Zhao Hai refine the runes just now, he couldn’t help but feel impressed. Zhao Hai’s micro-manipulation of spiritual energy was indeed remarkable. Most importantly, Zhao Hai hadn’t taken anything from him. He said he needed a certain amount of jade to refine the runes, and he really used that amount of jade to refine the runes. This was truly rare.

However, the castle deity didn’t speak, only glanced at Zhao Hai, and then turned to look at the people below. Those people were all his followers, and by this time, the followers had also completed the castle expansion.

After the believers completed the expansion of the castle, the castle deity turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Sir, now we can begin.”

Zhao Hai nodded, and with a flick of his hand, a magic array flew directly overhead. Countless yellow lines then appeared on the array, falling directly to the expanded area outside the castle. As the lines fell, the castle ground was breached. Once the ground was open, Zhao Hai retracted the yellow lines with a thought. He then pointed to the array symbols, and they flew up. With a flick of his hand, the symbols began to align in the air. Zhao Hai adjusted their positions while observing them, and after a while, he stopped. He then pointed to the castle ground, and beams of yellow light immediately flew out from the inner castle area where the magic array had been built. However, only the yellow light appeared; the buried array symbols did not emerge.

Zhao Hai glanced at the positions of the yellow lights, then adjusted the positions of the array symbols. Once the symbols were in place, he stretched out his hand and pressed down, causing the symbols to fall from the sky, landing precisely where he had previously broken open the ground—one symbol per hole.

After the symbols were in position, Zhao Hai swiftly formed hand seals, which struck the ground. The next moment, all the array symbols in the castle lit up with yellow light, which then intertwined in the air, forming a large net. This net then fell and disappeared into the ground.

After the net vanished, Zhao Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He then waved his hand, and the array that had broken open the ground reappeared. Yellow light flashed, and the broken ground was restored, as if nothing had happened.

After completing these steps, Zhao Hai moved his hand, and the next moment, some array symbols he had previously retrieved from the inner city flew directly to Zhao Hai. With another movement, a magic array appeared, and the array symbols fell directly into it. Then, red light flashed within the array, and the array symbols quickly turned into liquid. Zhao Hai looked at the liquid and then cast a series of spells into it. As he moved, the liquid began to slowly deform, eventually transforming into the shape of a compass. Zhao Hai then closed the magic array, and the compass slowly cooled down.

After the compass had completely cooled down, Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the compass landed in his hand. He glanced at it, quite satisfied. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a jade slip appeared in his hand. He then scanned the jade slip with his spiritual energy, inputting its contents. After a while, he withdrew his spiritual energy. Having done this, Zhao Hai presented the jade slip and the compass to the castle deity, saying, “My lord, the magic array has been set up. This compass is the control center of the array. The control method is in this jade slip. Please take a look.”

The castle deity nodded and then took the compass and the jade slip. He immediately scanned the jade slip with his spiritual energy and quickly understood its contents. After reading the contents of the jade slip, he picked it up again and activated it. He then tapped the jade slip a few times, and a red shield immediately enveloped the castle. But that wasn’t all. Inside the red shield, there was also a yellow shield. At the same time, magic arrays appeared on all the horses’ faces. This was very strange. Zhao Hai hadn’t actually set up any magic arrays on the horses’ faces, yet they were indeed appearing. The castle deity could clearly sense that the magic arrays on the horses’ faces could release spells, and they were spells with both earth and fire attributes. The fire spells were mainly used for offense, while the earth spells were mainly used for defense. When necessary, another shield could be released on the horses’ faces to protect the castle.

After understanding the magic arrays within the castle, the castle deity breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Good, very good, you did very well.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “You’re too kind, sir.”

Just as the castle deity was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, where a large magical artifact was flying towards them. This large magical artifact looked very peculiar; it was actually a giant human skeleton.

Upon seeing the enormous human skeleton, a cold glint flashed in the castle god’s eyes. He then turned to Zhao Hai and said, “The person who set up the magic array for me has arrived. The one who set it up is a follower of a creator god. The scheme against me before was instigated by that creator god. I don’t want you to get involved in this. If they find out that you helped me rebuild the magic array, he will definitely retaliate. So leave immediately; this matter has nothing to do with you.” With that, the castle god flicked his hand, tossing a spatial bag directly to Zhao Hai. He continued, “In this spatial bag are some materials I collected, all of them metallic. I don’t need them now, so consider them your payment. Also, here is my contact information. Keep it safe; I will contact you again.” With that, he flicked his hand, and a ball of black light landed directly on Zhao Hai’s fingernail.

Zhao Hai accepted the spatial bag, then bowed to the castle deity and said, “Thank you, sir. We’ll be leaving now. I’ve written the method for upgrading the magic array in the jade slip. Even if you don’t need me in the future, you can find someone else to help upgrade the castle’s magic array. As long as you upgrade according to the array diagram, there won’t be any problems. We’ll be going now.” The castle deity nodded, and Zhao Hai pulled Song Lin along, and the two left.

After they left, the castle deity looked at the approaching skeleton, his eyes flashing with cold light. However, he took a deep breath, then glanced at the expanded castle, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He stood there quietly, watching the approaching skeleton, waiting for it to arrive. He wanted to see how the skeleton would react after seeing that his castle had been expanded and upgraded. However, he wouldn’t break ties with that deity today; breaking ties now wouldn’t do him any good. (End of Chapter)
