Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

If the opponent is easy to deal with, I might as well take action myself.

After all, it has been five years since breaking through to Golden Core, and I have hardly made a move; though still at the early stage, my cultivation method is improving and my spells are growing.

What's more, a Heaven-grade Golden Core dealing with an old man's Qin Hua Golden Core is as easy as capturing something within reach.

With just one divine ability, the opponent could not endure it.

Besides, if all else fails, there is still the Nascent Soul Ancestor; though only a flesh body shell remains, it is a Nascent Soul Stage flesh body shell, surely extraordinary.

Even if I swing my fist and smash, I could beat the opponent to death.

"A Golden Core True Person of the Immortal Sect?"

"Xiang'er can be saved!"

"Dao Friend Cai, I truly thank you!"

Upon hearing that a Golden Core True Person of the Immortal Sect was present, Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na were overjoyed.

In everyone's understanding, the status and strength of Immortal Sect cultivators were always higher than ordinary cultivation sects, clans, powers, and loose cultivators.

Each one possessed abundant resources, powerful backing, and extremely high aptitude.

Spirit Tools, Magic Tools, Spirit Talismans, Spirit Patterns, and so on in every aspect were all top-tier.

Especially cultivation methods, which were recognized as the best in the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Xu Zhangqing reminded: "You must not expose yourselves; if this person comes, just cooperate."

I can look down on him, despise him.

But the other party is ultimately a Golden Core True Person; even if it is just a Qin Hua Golden Core, for these Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators in Dongqing City, he remains an invincible powerful existence.

Sun Peng nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes."

Xu Zhangqing then instructed: "I will stay in Dongqing City these few days and will closely monitor the situation here."

As soon as the words fell, his whole person rose into the air and drifted away.

Lei Yun Na, seeing this, could not help but say in a low voice: "Husband, Shang Xiang still hasn't..."

Sun Peng quickly waved his hand: "If it weren't for Dao Friend Cai, we would still be kept in the dark by Qiao Baiyang; do not mention the matter of taking him as master again."

Given Xiang'er's condition, being able to live well is already not bad.

Lei Yun Na's gaze dimmed, her lips trembling slightly: "Pity."

……

……

What surprised Xu Zhangqing was that after not coming for over four years, Yixiang Pavilion had actually changed location.

Previously, after crossing the arched bridge, one could see it.

Now, this place had been replaced by a brand-new building.

Its appearance was like a five-story tower, named "Di Yi Pavilion."

Hearing this, it seemed related to Earth Spiritual Roots and Array Masters.

Xu Zhangqing examined it carefully while stroking his chin: "Could it be that an outside Array Master has settled in Dongqing City? Let me go inside and take a look first, then go to Yixiang Pavilion."

Immediately, his whole person walked over.

However, before getting close, at a distance of ten meters, he suddenly felt a rich Earth Qi.

Underground of this building before his eyes, who knows what spiritual array was arranged, constantly drawing the surrounding Earth Qi to gather here.

Anyone who approached would feel their body stagger, as if trapped in a quagmire, as though something invisible was dragging them.

But the more this was the case, the more it attracted Xu Zhangqing's curiosity and interest.

Therefore he pretended to have difficulty moving, approaching step by step.

The ten-meter distance took him quite a while to walk stubbornly, before arriving at the gate of Di Yi Pavilion.

The door was open.

Inside, it was very quiet.

At least from outside, no sound from within could be heard.

Xu Zhangqing decisively entered; within just one step, it was as if he had come to another world.

The previous muddy sluggishness disappeared; there was no longer a dragging force underfoot, but instead he was gently supported by a soft Earth Qi.

Looking around, one layer was three zhang square; the ground was compacted brown earth, seemingly finely polished, smooth but not slippery, with faint brown fine lines flowing.

There was no incense in the air, but a faint earthy fishy smell; not only not pungent, but when inhaled into the lungs, it felt comfortable.

Directly opposite the door stood a half-person-high rough wooden long table; the tabletop was a whole piece of old elm wood, the edges polished round, with several tools scattered on it.

A bronze carving knife.

A pottery eye jar.

And several unformed human-shaped stone carvings.

Behind the long table sat a middle-aged man of about forty years old, wearing a dark brown coarse cloth long robe, sleeves rolled up to the forearm, revealing bronze-colored arms.

His hair was loosely tied behind his head with a black wood hairpin, with a few strands of gray white mixed in the hair, and two strands of broken hair hung over his forehead, covering part of it.

His face shape was somewhat square, with a sharp jawline.

His appearance could not be called handsome, looking quite mature.

His eyes were like two ancient wells, deep and steady.

At this moment, he was lowering his head to carve a human-shaped stone carving.

Seeing someone enter, he didn't even glance over, asking indifferently: "Buying a statue, or buying a spiritual array?"

Xu Zhangqing countered: "Are you the Master of Di Yi Pavilion?"

Hearing this, the man raised his head, first sizing him up with a scrutinizing gaze, then made an introduction: "Not bad, I am the Master of Di Yi Pavilion, Lu Ping."

Xu Zhangqing then asked: "Looking at your situation, you should be an Array Master, right?"

Lu Ping nodded slightly: "Mm."

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "I am also an Earth Spirit Root, and have always wanted to learn spiritual arrays, but as a Loose Cultivator, I've never had a way in."

Lu Ping smiled: "Spiritual arrays aren't something you can learn just because you want to; comprehension, aptitude, talent, and patience are all indispensable."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward: "What a coincidence, I have all of those."

Mainly, I don't know how many days I'll be staying here.

I can't hang out at Yixiang Pavilion every day, can I?

Better to find something to do.

In the first place, he wanted to systematically learn spiritual arrays and become an Array Master.

Previously, he had always been unable to find an opportunity; if he could learn something here to take back, wouldn't that be even better?

Anyway, as long as he gets started, nothing else matters; one could even say it's unimportant.

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, thought carefully in his heart, then asked: "Are you a local?"

"Half a local, I suppose."

"How many years have you stayed?"

"Almost ten years!"

"How well do you know Dongqing City?"

"Very well!"

The two asked and answered each other.

Xu Zhangqing showed not the slightest impatience from beginning to end.

Seeing it was about time, Lu Ping pointed to several human-shaped stone carvings on the tabletop: "This way, pick any one you like, then carve it according to the drawing beside it; if you succeed on the first try, I'll teach you the basic knowledge of spiritual arrays."

Xu Zhangqing was stunned: "But it's my first time; what if I ruin it?"

Lu Ping said frankly: "Then it shows we have no affinity."

Xu Zhangqing didn't waste words, casually picked up one of them, grabbed a carving knife, and began carving according to the drawing beside it.

At first, his technique was very immature in every aspect, and prone to mistakes.

But as time passed, it instead became increasingly stable.

Of course, this was Xu Zhangqing putting on an act; after refining spirit tools for several years, and having reached Miao Shou Level in spiritual runes, how could his hand shake or make mistakes?

He did this just to make the Loose Cultivator act more convincing.

However, this scene fell into Lu Ping's eyes, and instead he felt surprised: "Although this person is not young, his hand is very steady; could it be that I've really picked up a treasure!"
