Chapter 2405

“That…” muttered the shocked Professor Boyle.

Shaking his head with a smile, Gerald simply replied, ” Lead me to your garden so I can get a proper look at your formation, professor…”

Once everyone was in the backyard, Aiden took a deep breath. Instantly feeling refreshed, he was prompted to exclaim, “My word! I bet cultivating in such an environment will double its effects!”

“I agree. I’d like to clarify, however, that there are many kinds of formations, and those who cultivate can either use them to enhance their cultivation or to nourish their bodies. For a more specific example, if you wish to double the results of cultivating inner strength, then you just need to cultivate within a condensation formation,” replied Gerald.

“I never imagined that you’d be this knowledgeable about these arcane formations, Mr. Crawford!” said the impressed professor.

Harmoni, however, angrily retorted, “Don’t buy into his nonsense, grandfather! Your garden’s structure is already perfect! What cultivation and formations? What utter cr*p!”

It was clear that Harmoni didn’t believe a word Gerald said. After all, why was he acting like an old man when he was probably around the same age as she was? For those who didn’t know any better, they’d probably think Gerald was a professor!

Harmoni was also dissatisfied that her grandfather seemed more like a student now before Gerald. Her grandfather was usually the one doing the explaining, and that shouldn’t change in this situation!

Either way, upon hearing how doubtful Harmoni was, Gerald simply shook his head with a bitter smile.

Following that, he flicked his finger and what happened next caused everyone’s jaws to drop. With that simple gesture, Gerald had somehow made one of the artificial hills move a few inches!

“H-huh…?!” exclaimed the stupefied Harmoni as Professor Boyle stumbled backward in his shock.

Disregarding their surprise, Gerald simply continued moving a few more artificial hills. He also made sure to change the direction of the flowing water beside them.

Soon enough, the formation looked quite different from how it had originally been.

By this point, Harmoni had gone fully silent, not daring to say anything else.

Either way, now that he was done, Gerald was prompted to say, “The fundamental purpose of a formation is to borrow force. We rely on regular changes of the five elements of heaven and earth to borrow such force. Regardless, everything on this planet can be nourished with that force!”

Following that, Gerald began chanting something under his breath. All the while he did that, he ‘wrote’

complex symbols in the air with the tip of his finger, aimed at the center of the formation. Each symbol of the spell was placed at different spots of the formation and once he got the final symbol down, Gerald said, “Well, the formation is now complete!”

The second his sentence ended, a soothing spring breeze began blowing in the backyard…! As everyone breathed in, they felt instantly refreshed. As for Professor Boyle, it didn’t take long before he felt his heart and lung injuries rapidly curing!

As if that wasn’t stunning enough, herbs and flowers were now rapidly growing around them! By the time they stopped growing, every inch of the area was filled with vivid and colorful plants!

Understandably flabbergasted by all this, Harmoni squealed in fear before hiding behind her father.

Unbeknownst to her, her father’s legs had been trembling this entire time!

Paying the duo no attention, Gerald eventually added, “Now that the formation is complete, using holy stones will surely double its effect! With them, I believe that you’ll be able to make a full recovery in less than ten days as long as you keep using that breathing technique of yours!”

“How wonderful!” exclaimed the excited professor…
