This <Twelve Golden Lotuses Formula> was a martial art that could be combined with <Snow Lotus Sword Art>. Therefore, comprehension of the final style of <Snow Lotus Sword Art> was also important.
As for his main body, he began to refine the Fire Snake Array.
He had never stopped studying the law of refining arrays.
After all, in order to cultivate at Vast Wintry Hall, he had to fulfill the requirements of Venerable Yuan.
His master was very mysterious. He was gentle at times, but he never compromised on issues of principle. He was very stubborn and serious.
Without completing the task assigned by him, it would be impossible to go to Vast Wintry Hall in advance.
“Success!”
After 15 minutes, Ling Xiao couldn’t help smiling as he looked at the red Refine Array Stone in his hands.
Originally, the Refine Array Stone had been transparent, colorless and tasteless. Only after a magic array or formation was refined into it, would it change.
The Fire Snake Array Stone was red in color, with lines of the fire snake formation and a small fire snake.
“It’s time to go to meet Master.”
Ling Xiao looked at the two clones in the cave dwelling before helplessly taking them back.
Although <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique> could create clones to cultivate, they couldn’t be more than ten meters away from him.
This was also why he was so eager to find a higher-leveled cultivation secret technique to replace <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>.
If he could range further, the clones could continue to cultivate even if he had to do other things, which would avoid wasting time.
However, it was impossible for now.
This kind of thing couldn’t be rushed nor forced. It could only be obtained after unexpected life and death challenges, much like the <Twelve Golden Lotuses Formula>.
He believed that as his cultivation base continued to improve, and his strength continued to grow stronger, he would certainly have more opportunities.
The most important thing at this moment was to raise his cultivation base to the Transcendent Realm as soon as possible. Then, he could center the Inner Sect’s Moonlight Tower again and find a martial art to replace <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>.
When he came to Yang Danlin’s cave dwelling, Yang Danlin was researching a new pill while Venerable Yuan lay on one side.
“Oh, you are here, disciple. Did you forget your agreement with this Master?”
Venerable Yuan just slightly opened his eyes. Perhaps, it was a waste of energy to open them wide.
“How can this disciple dare to forget his greement with Master? Besides, this disciple always wanted to go to Vast Wintry Hall.”
“Okay, take out your Fire Snake Array Stone, and let this Master see it.”
Ling Xiao obediently took out two Fire Snake Array Stones. One had been refined by Venerable Yuan and the other one by him.
Venerable Yuan didn’t bother to ask questions this time. He had long known that this disciple’s comprehension power was outstanding. His memory and understanding were also superb. There was no point in asking theoretical things.
The key point was how this Fire Snake Array Stone had been refined.
After carefully looking at Ling Xiao’s Fire Snake Array Stone, he couldn’t help but frown.
“Kid, you have truly never been to the Heavenly Continent, right? And you have never learned the law of refining an array, right?”
“No!”
Ling Xiao replied honestly.
“I have truly lost to you. Old partner, this time, we have picked a peerless treasure. The Fire Snake Array Stone this kid made for the first time, its effect is actually better than this Master’s. I truly want to find tofu to beat myself to death.”
Venerable Yuan looked at Yang Danlin and complained.
“Old Partner Venerable Yuan, don’t complain to me. It was the same when I taught him alchemy. Do you know why I chose that Lan girl to teach him? I was afraid of getting slapped. This kid is simply a monster among monsters.”
Yang Danlin smiled bitterly.
In alchemy, Yang Danlin was very famous among the twelve sects.
In the law of refinement, if Venerable Yuan said he was second, then absolutely no one would dare to declare themselves first in Heavenly Dragon Continent.
However, in front of Ling Xiao, this little monster, they suddenly felt that they were truly stupid.
“Fine, since you are able to refine the Fire Snake Array Stone, it means your foundation is already very strong. Merely, the law of refining arrays is the same as alchemy. Even if you learn quickly in the beginning, the deeper you learn, the more you will discover its mysteriousness and profoundness.”
Venerable Yuan looked serious and said: “Now, you are just following other people’s paths. You can say that you are standing on the shoulders of giants. Only after you are able to refine your own pills and arrays will you be considered a real master.”
“This disciple will follow the Master’s teachings!”
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said.
“Good, neither arrogant nor impatient. This is a very precious trait. Then, old partner, arrange a sect mission for this kid and try to let him get in touch with various magic arrays and formations of Moonlight Sect.”
After speaking to Yang Danlin, Venerable Yuan looked at Ling Xiao again and said: “This is just the beginning of learning magic arrays and formations. This Master is giving you a task to refine all the sect’s magic arrays and formations in Refine Array Stones. After you achieve this, you will be a master. If you don’t understand anything, you can come and ask this Master at any time.”
“All?”
In any case, Ling Xiao had been a member of the Moonlight Sect for over a month now. He knew the situation of the Moonlight Sect. Almost all cave dwellings were protected by formations. In addition, even the disciple tokens, elder tokens, and other small things had arrays.
Wanting to refine all these arrays Refine Array Stones, how long would it take?
“Yes, all, but don’t worry. As long as you successfully finish this task before you leave the Moonlight Sect, it’s fine. Now, this Master will ask your Senior Brother Yang to contact Vast Wintry Hall’s Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy. As long as you are ready, you can go to the Vast Wintry Hall to cultivate.”
“Many thanks, Master!”
Ling Xiao hastily thanked him.
Afterward, Yang Danlin called Lan Yu’er, and then Lan Yu’er took Ling Xiao to examine the Moonlight Sect’s formations and magic arrays.
The difference between formations and magic arrays was actually not big.
It was just that formations were relatively big and arranged independently, whereas magic arrays were generally small; moreover, they were set up on small objects and could not be arranged independently.
The principles of the two were the same. Merely, one had developed in a larger direction, and the other developed in a smaller direction.
Regardless of whether it was a formation or a magic array, they would weaken over time, and problems would arise for one reason or another.
For instance, the defensive formation of the Outer Sect’s challenge platform, if the fighting disciples were too strong, they might break through the defensive limit of the formation.
At that time, someone would need to maintain and repair the formation.
Generally speaking, the maintenance of formations and magic arrays were under the jurisdiction of the ‘Formation Hall’.
However, since Lan Yu’er had a very good relationship with the Hall Master of Formation Hall, and they were close sisters in the true sense, there was no problem for her to take Ling Xiao to do this kind of thing.
Ling Xiao’s works were temporarily suspended under the jurisdiction of the Medicine Hall and Formation Hall. This was considered very special.
