Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

On the fourth day, just as Xu Zhangqing was preparing to enter his Personal Space to craft a Small Teleportation Array, an acquaintance suddenly came to visit.

"Lao Zhao, why have you come?"

"I want to find someone to refine a Spirit Tool."

"What kind of Spirit Tool?"

"A Soul-protecting Pearl!"

"Isn't that a Spirit Tool that protects the Divine Soul?"

"I've been feeling unsettled lately..."

Xu Zhangqing hadn't seen Lao Zhao and Lao Hu for some time.

Ever since these two took their masters, everyone had become busy.

These days, Lao Zhao looked pale, his gaze dim.

This was not the state a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator should be in.

Zhao Ziyue took a deep breath, forced himself to focus, then said: "I'm preparing to break through to Earth Grade Golden Core soon, and I urgently need some Spirit Tools, Spirit Talismans, and Spirit Pills."

You know a lot of people; help me ask around about prices."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Breaking through so soon?"

Zhao Ziyue nodded vigorously: "Ever since the Dragon Vein in the Canglan Sea Region was severed, the cultivation speed of Water Spirit Root cultivators has increased greatly."

"And since I took my master, I've obtained more resources."

"As early as a year ago, I had already reached Foundation Establishment Perfection."

Before the three of them knew each other, Zhao Ziyue had already been at Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Now, with the help of opportunities, he was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Xu Zhangqing took out a Soul-protecting Pearl and handed it over: "Just right, a friend of mine at Jin Gang Peak gave me one; take it."

He had privately refined many Spirit Tools of various types, just to enrich his experience and skills.

Unexpectedly, there would actually be a day they came in use.

Zhao Ziyue took it and found five Spirit Patterns on it, immediately surprised: "High-grade Spirit Weapon?"

Low-grade Spirit Weapon: 1 to 3 Spirit Patterns.

High-grade Spirit Weapon: 4 to 6 Spirit Patterns.

Top-grade Spirit Tool: 7 to 9 Spirit Patterns.

Transcendent Spirit Weapon: more than 9 Spirit Patterns.

A Spirit Tool of this quality costs hundreds of Middle-grade Spirit Stones for any random piece, especially defensive and auxiliary types, whose prices are even higher.

Casually giving away a High-grade Spirit Weapon shows that the Refiner at Jin Gang Peak has high talent.

Of course, it also indirectly shows that this good buddy in front of him has increasingly awesome connections.

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Anyway, I can't use it; take it."

Zhao Ziyue hesitated, then asked: "How many Spirit Stones?"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand carelessly: "We're all brothers; talking about money is too much."

Zhao Ziyue said seriously: "Even close brothers keep clear accounts; Lao Hu and I have always been looked after by you; we can't keep taking advantage."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment: "Then give me one hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

Zhao Ziyue was stunned: "Then I'll keep taking advantage."

Xu Zhangqing grinned: "Hahaha."

Though he said that, Zhao Ziyue still took out Spirit Stones: "Just kidding; these days, not to mention one hundred, even one thousand or ten thousand I can produce."

Xu Zhangqing did not refuse and immediately put them away: "Fine; next I'll help you ask around and see what types and prices of Spirit Tools, Spirit Talismans, and Spirit Pills are needed for a Water Spirit Root cultivator's tribulation."

Zhao Ziyue immediately sighed in relief: "Thank you."

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "You have a Single Spirit Root; a Human Grade Golden Core only needs to withstand one Turbid Thunder head-on; if you want to break through to Earth Grade Golden Core, you need to prepare five types of Monster Cores in advance; do you have them?"

The more Spirit Roots, the greater the Thunder Tribulation's power, and the more dangerous the tribulation.

This is why, although the mainstream advocates Five Spirit Roots,

in reality, most cultivators are Single Spirit Root or Dual Spirit Root.

Cases like Li Lingbi breaking through to Earth Grade Golden Core with Three Spirit Roots are truly rare.

Therefore, once he succeeded, he was noticed by the high levels of the Immortal Sect, with countless people actively currying favor.

Zhao Ziyue smiled mysteriously: "I do, and in large quantities."

Xu Zhangqing thought of the other's opportunity and that huge black water snake, immediately understanding the meaning behind that smile: "Then that's good."

Zhao Ziyue nodded: "Fine, I'm leaving; remember to notify me once you've asked around."

Seeing the other's state, Xu Zhangqing kept one eye open: "Wait, I have an Amulet here; consider it a gift for you."

Amulets are very common throughout the Entire Tianyuan Realm, as common as Spirit Rice Wine.

However, Xu Zhangqing's Amulet is not simple.

Drawn with Miao Shou Level rune technique, it contains part of the power of a Heaven Grade Golden Core.

A Human Grade Golden Core Late Stage can basically ignore it for a certain period of time.

An Earth Grade Golden Core Late Stage will absolutely not face life-threatening danger in a short time.

As for the late stage of a Heaven-grade Golden Core, there was no longer any need to consider how long he could hold out.

Zhao Ziyue picked it up and examined it carefully, finding it almost no different from a normal amulet, except that it was given by a good buddy, so of course he wouldn't refuse: "Thanks."

Xu Zhangqing instructed: "Make sure to wear it close to your body."

Zhao Ziyue stuffed it into his bosom, then turned and left: "I'm off."

Xu Zhangqing watched the other's departing back, musing: "A Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator would hardly become unsettled in mind and spirit.

What's more, it's still Old Zhao, who's always been an air force and always trying to save face."

Most likely something else happened.

Looks like I need to find a time to call Hu Bugui up, and us brothers can have a good drink together.

Once we drink too much, the topic box will open.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing flashed his figure and quickly entered his Personal Space.

……

……

Now four days and three nights have passed, and the materials for the Small Teleportation Array are already ready.

Xu Zhangqing brought the materials and came first to a relatively flat area with no obstacles at all.

This place hasn't been developed yet, just right for laying out the Teleportation Array.

He raised his hand and flicked, continuously outputting magic power, and the ground immediately changed.

At an extremely fast speed, he built a circular Earthen Platform with a diameter of 1.2 zhang and a height of 1 chi.

Because it's a Small Teleportation Array, there's no need to make it very big.

To put it plainly, as long as people can stand on it, it's fine.

However, the Earthen Platform was just a beginning; next Xu Zhangqing dug a trench along its edge, 1 meter deep and 2 chi wide, which can also be called a Qi Guiding Trough.

Then he filled the trough with a large amount of jelly-like Earth Spirit Marrow, preventing the Earth Qi in the Earthen Platform from leaking out, becoming a stable Energy Pool.

Afterward, with a carving knife, he personally engraved a Nine Palaces Grid pattern on the platform surface of the Earthen Platform, each grid 4 cun on a side, grid lines 1 cun deep.

Once done, he filled them with the previously washed clean and "aired" Meteorite Sand, thus the basic veins for energy conduction were done.

Of course, things weren't over yet at this point; instead, he continued to evenly coat the jelly-like Earth Spirit Marrow on the surface of the Earthen Platform until the Meteorite Sand was completely covered.

Seeing it was about right, Xu Zhangqing once again activated his magic power, continuously pouring it into the Earthen Platform, while drawing more Earth Qi to gather.

Whether the platform surface or the entire Earthen Platform, they suddenly emitted a faint yellow light, and as time passed, the light grew richer and richer.

Xu Zhangqing covered it with his Divine Sense, sensed all the details once, and after confirming there were no problems, did he stop consuming magic power.

The next step is to embed the Spatial Earth Origin Fruit into the Earthen Platform.

At the exact center of the platform surface, he had already reserved a spherical Array Eye with a diameter of 5 cun and a depth of 4 cun.

He took out the soaked Spatial Earth Origin Fruit and directly pressed it into the Array Eye; the top of the fruit was exactly level with the Earthen Platform. Then he took out 12 pre-treated Earth Yuan Crystals, arranging them around according to the Twelve Earthly Branches positions, with a spacing of 1 cun between each Earth Yuan Crystal, forming a large circle.

Next, he again used jelly-like Earth Spirit Marrow to fill in, leaving no gaps between the Array Eye and the Earth Yuan Crystals, then used magic power to firmly compact it.

At this moment, the Spatial Earth Origin Fruit, now the Array Eye, and the twelve Earth Yuan Crystals lit up simultaneously; only the center continued to glow, while the surroundings merely flickered.

This marked that the Small Teleportation Array was initially constructed.

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath: "Next is the critical among criticals; even though my rune skill has reached Miao Shou Level, there's still the possibility of failure or mistake."

Having just the Earthen Platform and Array Eye isn't enough; the Spiritual Array must be engraved.

Divided into Outer Layer and Inner Layer.

The Outer Layer is Teleportation Talismans.

The Inner Layer is Stable Talismans.

The materials used are Earth Spirit Marrow mixed with Meteorite Sand.

And the magic power must also maintain Earth Attribute; absolutely no other attributes can be mixed in.

The Inner Layer Stable Talisman takes the Array Eye as center, engraving the Eight Trigrams pattern.

Respectively: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui.

0.5 cun wide, 0.3 cun deep, and the ends must each connect to 1 Earth Yuan Crystal.

Doing this is to guide Earth Qi to surge toward the Array Eye, while suppressing energy fluctuations, keeping them within a controllable Spiritual Range.

According to the records in the materials, when Xu Zhangqing engraved the Gen trigram, he additionally mixed in a bit of Earth Yuan Crystal powder.

As for the Outer Layer Teleportation Talisman, relatively speaking it's simpler.

Or rather, for Xu Zhangqing it's simpler.

Along the inner side of the Earth Qi trough at the edge of the Earthen Platform, he engraved the Seven Stars Pattern bit by bit.

The reason for doing this: one is to imitate Northern Dipper Positioning, and the other is to form a double coordinate lock with the Twelve Positions of the Earth Yuan Crystals, thereby reducing deviation during teleportation.

You must know, teleportation this thing—if off by a hair's breadth, you'll miss by a thousand li; once something goes wrong, who knows where you'll end up, and you might not even be able to come back.

Who knows how long passed; whether Outer Layer or Inner Layer, all the runes were done.

Xu Zhangqing let out a long sigh: "Actually got it done in one go."

To be honest, he had prepared for multiple failures.

Looks like a Heaven-grade Golden Core combined with Full Level rune skill indeed has its say.

Next was much easier; just need to lay out a certain number of Spirit Stones.

The bigger the Teleportation Array, the wider the covered Spiritual Range, and the more Spirit Stones consumed.

Even just a Small Teleportation Array needs Middle-grade Spirit Stones, and the more, the more stable.

For the current "rich and powerful" Xu Zhangqing, it was barely acceptable.

Once the Spirit Stones were laid out, only the last step remained: positioning and debugging.

But this step cannot be done inside the Personal Space; instead, he must go out, even make a trip to Jin Xuanzi's Cave Dwelling on Cangyan Peak.

Since a transmission is required, the specific location on the other side must be locked onto and confirmed, and then the positioning Earth Yuan Crystals and spirit stones must be arranged in a spacious and safe district.

Because Xu Zhangqing had matters with the Spirit Field, he turned his gaze toward the Golden Miner: "It's your turn to go on stage, take the Earth Yuan Crystal to the new home."

Although it lacks Spiritual Power, its Physical strength has already reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection realm.

Even if various dangers are encountered on the Road, as long as the Opponent is not at the Golden Core Stage, the possibility of an accident is minuscule.

At this moment, the Golden Miner raised its Right Hand and gave a Thumb up!

PS: Readers may have Discovered that my recent updates have changed from three chapters to two chapters; Readers who have followed along all the way know that my sleep Quality is too poor, and I always stay up late, leading to a very poor state.

While writing, my eyes become fatigued, and even my temples cramp.

Therefore, in September I wanted to Tiao Zheng a bit.

But everyone rest assured, although chapters have decreased, the word count has not decreased; it is still six thousand words per day.
