Chapter 317: Array Weapons

The Condensing Qi Pill, which Yang Yijian, Liu Qingfeng, and others regard as a treasure, can be supplied openly to the Salvation Army soldiers of Luolong County in the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty.

If Yang Yijian, Liu Qingfeng, and the others were to find out about this, their jaws would surely drop in shock.

Chu Yunlong also represented the military in welcoming Meng Yifan's arrival; the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Yang Yijian led Meng Yifan toward the Scripture Depository.

The Scripture Depository of this military base was a small four-story building, inside which stood rows of tall bookshelves, much like the layout of a library.

As soon as Meng Yifan walked into the library, he felt someone watching him; he turned his head and discovered that a surveillance camera hanging on the wall was aimed directly at him.

Not only that, but two Type 89 heavy machine guns hanging on the two pillars near the entrance also had their pitch-black muzzles locked onto Meng Yifan's position.

Meng Yifan frowned; his physical defense was extremely formidable, and coupled with the Black and White Grinding Disc Supernatural Ability, the heavy machine guns could hardly cause him any harm, but no one likes being aimed at by the muzzles of heavy machine guns.

"Huh!" Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power expanded, and he was surprised to discover that these two heavy machine guns were not ordinary ones; the rifling inside was actually engraved with Array Runes, which piqued Meng Yifan's interest. After a careful inspection, he found that the runes inside the heavy machine guns were Wind Element Runes and Fire Element Runes, respectively.

The Wind Element Rune served to make the bullets faster, while the Fire Element Rune served to imbue the bullets with a layer of fire-element damage, doubling their power.

"A very interesting design." This approach to modifying heavy machine guns made Meng Yifan's eyes light up.

This was combining the Array Dao of the Immortal Cultivator world with modern weapons and equipment, greatly enhancing the destructive power of the gear.

Not only that, but Meng Yifan also discovered that a massive Array was set up inside the Scripture Depository, connecting not only these special firearms but also the surveillance cameras visible everywhere.

If anyone wanted to act recklessly inside the Scripture Depository, this Guardian Array would give them a head-on blow.

"Elder Feng, this is the new Chief Instructor of our Canglong Special Forces, Meng Yifan, who has come to the Scripture Depository to look for cultivation techniques." Yang Yijian stood in front of Meng Yifan and explained their purpose to the camera.

In the monitoring room, an old Daoist wearing a Daoist Robe with the Eight Trigrams, with a full head of white hair but a ruddy complexion and a vigorous spirit, was leisurely drinking some small wine; his name was Zhang Wuji, and he possessed the cultivation of a Third-grade Middle-stage.

Zhang Wuji's greatest strength was the Array Dao, and he liked to study and innovate; he combined traditional Immortal Cultivator arrays with modern technological weapons, carving out a unique path.

The array inside the Scripture Depository was set up by Zhang Wuji, and even if a Fourth-grade High-level Expert wanted to come to the Scripture Depository to cause trouble, he was confident he could control the array to suppress the enemy.

"Meng Yifan? The new Chief Instructor? Looks like he's an expert." Zhang Wuji opened his computer to look up Meng Yifan's information.

"Fifth-grade Lower-tier Immortal Cultivator?" Zhang Wuji was greatly shocked; he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked again, confirming that he hadn't seen wrong—Meng Yifan was truly a Fifth-grade Immortal Cultivator.

"My Heaven, when did such a Fifth-grade big shot emerge in the Shenzhou Cultivation World?" Zhang Wuji was startled and hurriedly operated the joystick to turn the muzzles of the two heavy machine guns away.

Zhang Wuji knew that the more powerful an Immortal Cultivator was, the more eccentric their temper; perhaps this Fifth-grade big shot was already burning with rage and would launch an attack on the array in a moment.

The array inside the Scripture Depository was indeed very powerful, but it could at most suppress a Fourth Grade Lower Tier expert; a Fifth-grade expert could easily blast the array apart as long as they unleashed a Supernatural Secret Art.

"Haha, Old Zhang, you have times when you're afraid too." Watching the heavy machine guns quickly turn away, Yang Yijian teased with a laugh.

When Yang Yijian first came to the Scripture Depository, he had been severely disciplined by Zhang Wuji's array, but the two became good friends after the initial clash.

Whenever Zhang Wuji researched new weapons and equipment, he liked to have Yang Yijian test them, and Yang Yijian had also obtained many powerful treasures from Zhang Wuji.

"Senior, please calm your anger. This junior had no intention of offending you; I was just following regulations to monitor strangers." Zhang Wuji quickly ran down, cupped his hands, and apologized.

"No matter. I am very interested in this method of yours that combines arrays and firearms; I wonder if you could teach me." Meng Yifan asked.

Zhang Wuji hesitated, because these special arrays were all things he had spent decades researching with his heart's blood.

Although Meng Yifan was a Fifth-grade big shot, Zhang Wuji was unwilling to just hand over everything he knew based on a casual request.

Meng Yifan saw that Zhang Wuji did not want to teach him; he smiled, took a palm-sized medicine bottle out of his Space Ring, handed it to Zhang Wuji, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't have you teach me the arrays for nothing. This contains ten Third Grade Qi Condensation Pills, which are very suitable for a Third-grade Immortal Cultivator like you to take. I wonder if they can be exchanged for your special arrays."

"Third Grade Pill?" Zhang Wuji's heart stirred; he hurriedly took the medicine bottle and opened it to see that the pills inside truly contained rich Spirit Qi. Just smelling them made one feel refreshed, and the Spirit Power in his body became active, growing by a tiny bit.

"So many Third Grade Pills." Zhang Wuji was incredibly excited. His cultivation had been stuck at the Third-grade Middle-stage for more than thirty years, and he had been unable to break through because the Spirit Qi on Earth was exhausted and rare treasures were becoming fewer and fewer; he simply could not find suitable cultivation resources.

With these ten Third Grade Pills, Zhang Wuji was confident he could break through to the Third-grade High stage during closed-door cultivation. One must know that the Array Dao is profound and mysterious, and powerful arrays have extremely high requirements for the cultivator's cultivation level.

If one's cultivation is insufficient, one simply cannot set up powerful arrays. Zhang Wuji had many whimsical ideas in his heart, but he couldn't experiment with them because his cultivation was not high enough.

With these precious pills, he could research even more powerful arrays and perhaps be able to deal with Fourth Grade High Rank enemies.

"Since Senior wishes to learn, this junior is naturally willing to teach." Zhang Wuji took a small booklet from his bosom, which recorded his research insights on arrays. After Meng Yifan flipped through it, he felt as if he had found a treasure.

The booklet contained both diagrams and text, introducing things in great detail; as long as one followed the guidance in the booklet, one could create array weapons and equipment.

Zhang Wuji had a Three-Series Spirit Root of Wind, Fire, and Thunder, so his main research direction was the combination of Wind, Fire, and Thunder arrays with weapons and equipment.

However, following Zhang Wuji's line of thought and continuing to deduce, arrays of all Nine Elements could be combined with modern firearms.
