“Brother Yang, this time, your judgment is wrong.”
Venerable Yuan suddenly said.
“My judgment is wrong?”
Yang Danlin was confused.
“This kid’s cultivation has already reached Peak Rank Nine Martial Vein, but I wonder what special martial technique he has cultivated to conceal his true cultivation, even you can’t see through it. I was only able to see through it because I possess the ‘Eye of Truth.’”
Venerable Yuan explained.
Yang Danlin looked at Ling Xiao with great shock.
“Master, Senior, I hope you two will not spread this matter. The disciple did this purely because this disciple doesn’t want to attract the jealousy of others, especially that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy. He has enmity with my secular world teacher, White Cloud Great Master; therefore, I can only keep a low profile for now.”
Ling Xiao explained.
“Rest assured, we won’t talk nonsense. However, Celestial Realm powerhouses generally have special techniques. Although special techniques like Eye of Truth are very rare, you cannot rule out that someone has cultivated a technique that can see through your cultivation.” Venerable Yuan warned.
“A Celestial Realm powerhouse will not pay attention to me, a nobody.”
Ling Xiao naturally knew that Venerable Yuan’s words were true. However, he wasn’t very worried. Unless his cultivation reached the Transcendent Realm, it was very unlikely that Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy would pay attention to him. He already had many things he needed to deal with, so why would he waste his time monitoring Ling Xiao?
Furthermore, it was very unlikely that the special technique cultivated by Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy was something similar to “Eye of Truth.”
“Okay, let’s drop this matter. Today, I called you here to give you this <Eternal Divine Pill Scripture>.”
Yang Danlin took out a book and handed it to Ling Xiao. The book was not very thick, but it was obviously made with a special sealing method. If it were fully opened, even a five or six hundred square meter house wouldn’t be able to fit it.
“This is the lifetime painstaking effort of our Master, Venerable Yuan. Originally, we planned to teach you this in a few years, but since your alchemy aptitude is so amazing, I discussed it with Master Venerable Yuan and gave this to you as soon as possible. Like this, you can achieve greater results on the path of alchemy!”
Ling Xiao carefully took this precious book.
“Many thanks, Master. Many thanks, Senior.”
Ling Xiao bowed deeply and said solemnly.
“This book is not only this Master’s painstaking effort. In fact, when this Master was young, this Master worshipped many outstanding alchemists for masters. This book is the painstaking work of hundreds of top alchemists. This book not only contains profound alchemy techniques, but it also contains many special insights. You must take good care of it.”
Venerable Yuan reminded him.
“Rest assured, Master. I will take good care of it.”
“Okay, the matters of alchemy end here. Next, this Master will teach you ‘Refine Array Law.’”
Venerable Yuan suddenly said.
“Refine Array Law?”
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded. He had only heard that this world had arrays arranged using some materials. What was ‘Refine Array Law?’
He had heard of Refining weapons but not this.
“Yes, Refine Array Law!”
Venerable Yuan explained: “You should know that weapons, armors, hidden weapons, and so on can be embedded with a magic array to give them special effects, right?”
Ling Xiao nodded.
“Refine Array Law makes magic arrays and formations via refining methods and seals them in Refine Array Stones. Then, you only need to smelt the Refine Array Stone and the martial items together to give them special effects. In addition, if you want to arrange a formation, you can directly use a Refine Array Stone.”
Venerable Yuan continued to explain: “Therefore, the basics of Refine Array Law is studying magic arrays and formations. However, I believe that this will not be a difficult task for you. With your memory’s retention, you can easily memorize all the existing magic arrays and formations, right? As long as you memorize everything, this Master will personally impart upon you Refine Array Law.”
Seeing Ling Xiao was still calm, Yang Danlin scolded in jest: “You kid, you truly don’t know how amazing it is! This Refine Array Law: Venerable Yuan brought it from the top sect of the ‘Celestial Court Continent.’ There are many array masters there, but your Master is one of the best. This method doesn’t exist in the Heavenly Dragon Continent.”
“So amazing!”
“That’s natural. The Refine Weapon Masters of Heavenly Dragon Continent can only engrave inscriptions or embed special gems on martial items to enhance their effects, but this is just the basic stage of refinement arrays in the Celestial Court Continent. Without these technical details, it is just a waste of resources.”
Venerable Yuan explained: “Do you understand now?”
“This disciple understands. This disciple is willing to learn it!”
Ling Xiao, in fact, was greatly surprised. He was unable to guess the identity of Venerable Yuan. Not only was he a powerful Alchemist, but he was also an Array Master. What exactly was his background?
“It’s good that you understand. You will still belong to the Medicine Hall in the future, but in private, you will learn refinement arrays with this Master. Now, to make you experience the benefits of a refinement array, go to the sect’s market, purchase some Refine Array Stones, and return.”
Venerable Yuan ordered.
“Master, didn’t you say that the Heavenly Dragon Continent doesn’t have refinement arrays? How come there are Refine Array Stones?”
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
“In Heavenly Dragon Continent, Refine Array Stones are just relatively ordinary gems. Although it is relatively expensive, you can purchase ten Refine Array Stones with a low-grade spirit stone. Since this stone has no attribute, generally, Heavenly Dragon Continent’s martial artists use it as a stone for storing true essence, which is simply a waste.”
Venerable Yuan explained: “In Heavenly Dragon Continent, it is called a Store Essence Stone.”
“Okay, this disciple understands. However, Senior, where is Moonlight Sect’s market?”
It had already been a month since he had entered the Moonlight Sect, but other than the outer sect and Medicine Hall, he had not visited other places.
“You can look for yourself!”
Yang Danlin looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao just smiled. If he couldn’t even find the sect’s market, how could he travel outside in the future?
Neither Venerable Yuan nor Yang Danlin gave him any spirit stones to purchase Refine Array Stones. In any case, he didn’t need much.
If a magic array was successfully refined in one try, then one Refine Stone Array was enough.
Considering the possibility of failure, he planned to purchase ten, which was worth just a low-grade spirit stone and not a burden for him.
After entering the sect, spirit stones had already become a standard monetary unit. As for gold and silver, they had become a relatively common resource.
Refined pills, refined medicines, and refined weapons were also used for bartering, but they were not as valuable as compared to the secular world.
In the secular world, a low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for ten million taels of silver. Gold was a bit valuable, but a low-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for a hundred thousand taels of gold.
The Moonlight Sect’s market was actually very easy to find. He just needed to ask an old outer disciple or even a stranger along the way.
