Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing probed his Divine Sense into the Jade Pendant Lu Ping gave him, scanning all the basic knowledge about Spiritual Arrays inside.

The content was not much, nor complex.

One: From Mortals Reading Feng Shui to Xiuxian Zhe Setting Up Arrays

Two: The Qi, Shape, and Layout of Feng Shui Arrays

Three: The Array Master's Three Steps of Kan-Yu

Four: The Taboos of Coarse and Refined Feng Shui Arrays

Progressing from shallow to deep, it could be called easy to understand.

After reading it, not only did he gain a preliminary understanding, but combined with his Earth Spiritual Root and various reserves of Knowledge and experience, his Attribute Panel changed quickly.

Array Skill: Entry

Effect 1: Clarify the connection between mortals reading feng shui and Xiuxian Zhe setting up arrays

Effect 2: Can accurately identify the basic forms of Qi, Shape, and Layout

Consume 220 years of Lifespan to raise Array Skill to Masterful?

Xu Zhangqing was not surprised: "Not bad."

Rune Skill raised to Masterful took 30 years.

Artifact Refining Skill raised to Masterful took 174 years.

The rarer Array Skill taking over 200 years is understandable.

He always felt that Rune Skill required less time perhaps because what he learned now were simplified versions, so while the effects were better, the engraving was not complex either.

If learning runes from a thousand years ago, or even ten thousand years ago, the time required would definitely be longer.

Artifact Refining Skill was the opposite; although it was also changing, only the refining process could be simplified, while Spirit Tool and Magic Tool shapes became more complex and materials more abundant.

Simply put, runes are one through all, while artifact refining is one tool, one study.

Rune Skill simplifies the core and lowers the dimension.

Artifact Refining Skill enriches the dimension and raises the upper limit.

As for Array Masters, this profession itself is very rare, unlike the preceding Rune and Artifact Refining skills where anyone with a Water Spiritual Root, Metal Spiritual Root, or Fire Spiritual Root can learn, and through accumulation of experience and skill over time, can reach a certain height.

Feng shui and arrays require a certain talent.

Especially the requirement for comprehension, reaching a hair-raising degree.

Narrow Spiritual Root compatibility plus high comprehension requirements make Array Masters few and far between.

Without a Spiritual Root one cannot learn.

With a Spiritual Root but no comprehension one cannot master it.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing decisively: "All in."

In an instant, the whole person entered a mysterious and profound state of Enlightenment.

From an Array Apprentice possessing an Earth Spiritual Root, imitating and learning bit by bit, then creating arrays of his own, until experience and skill became richer and richer, finally reaching the peak.

Remaining Lifespan: years

Special Effect 6: Reverse the functions of high-grade and Earth-grade arrays, use the array in reverse, turn killing into use

Special Effect 7: No need to rely on fixed array diagrams; just survey the Spiritual Vein direction and environmental features

(Prompt: Affected by realm, materials, environment, and other factors, success rate will fluctuate!)

After reading all the effects, Xu Zhangqing almost wanted to applaud enthusiastically.

These two hundred plus years of Lifespan, to put it bluntly, were well spent.

From Apprentice to Xunlong Sect Master, before and after took less than a quarter of an hour.

This way, only Pill Refining Skill and Lingfan Skill remained not yet at Entry.

However, Xu Zhangqing was quite satisfied now; anyway, for him it was only a matter of time.

……

……

Time passed in a flash, and Xu Zhangqing had already been idling in Yixiang Pavilion for two days.

Yesterday it was Hong Chang.

Today it was Lv Luo.

He had already thoroughly understood the brand-new underground gameplay.

Basically, it was just utilizing the plasticity and diversity of Earth Qi to add a bit of interest.

At first it was still quite fresh, but as Xu Zhangqing mastered the array techniques and saw through the dangers and drawbacks here at a glance, he instead became unwilling to go down.

Fortunately, the Sun Family side did not make him wait too long.

Qiao Baiyang, who had disappeared for nearly seven days, finally appeared again.

This time he returned to take away Sun Shangxiang, whose spiritual root and constitution were both very special.

Xu Zhangqing hid in the corner, watching this old fellow who claimed to be the current Sect Master of Linghe Sect with an expressionless face.

His outward age looked around seventy, slightly aged.

His skin was dark brown, the blue veins on the back of his hands intertwined like old tree roots.

He wore a light blue garment, with three spirit seedlings embroidered side by side on the chest.

A blue cloth belt was tied at his waist, its end hanging a palm-sized wooden plaque engraved with the five characters "Linghe Sect Master".

At first glance, he indeed looked like a wood spiritual root cultivator of Linghe Sect.

But the problem was, which Sect Master has nothing better to do than hang his token at his waist, as if afraid not everyone knows his identity?

It was a bit too obvious!

The more it was like this, the more Xu Zhangqing suspected this person's identity; he always felt the other party was not as simple as the surface showed.

Therefore, he did not act at the first moment, but continued to hide and observe.

Beside the old fellow stood a youth who looked only fourteen or fifteen.

His figure was lean but not frail.

His hair was slightly short, just reaching his ears.

Sword-shaped eyebrows slanted straight, the ends tilting slightly upward.

Below his right eye was a small brown mole.

His hands were long and slender, knuckles distinct.

Outside he wore a short jacket, inside a sweat-shirt.

Below he wore coarse cloth long trousers, a black cloth belt tied at his waist.

On his feet were a pair of mortal black cloth short boots, the toes a bit worn.

He would touch his waist from time to time; there was a bulge there, as if hiding something.

He looked merely an utterly ordinary youth.

But since Qiao Baiyang kept him by his side, there must be something extraordinary about him.

"Just leave Shangxiang to me, a natural-born spirit farmer!"

"But the child is too young, and we also can't bear to part with her."

"It's precisely because she's young that she's easy to cultivate; when she grows up she'll be too set in her ways instead."

"Why don't you wait a few more years?"

"Can't wait; I won't be coming here again after this."

In the back garden, Qiao Baiyang conversed with Sun Peng, Lei Yun Na, and the others.

A Golden Core, even a Qin Hua Golden Core, even a Qin Hua elderly Golden Core.

Facing two younger Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, he still had full confidence, even mixed with a trace of domineeringness.

Clearly displaying the attitude that he must take Sun Shangxiang away today.

If they hadn't met Xu Zhangqing, Sun Peng and Lei Yun Na might have agreed.

But now, knowing Linghe Sect was already gone and the person before them had identity issues, they instead dared not easily compromise.

Just then, Xu Zhangqing's voice suddenly transmitted into Sun Peng's ear: "The immortal sect's Golden Core True Person is nearby, and he also has an amulet; let him take Shangxiang away first, don't startle the snake!"
