Chapter 164: Fanghe Peak

Let him participate in refining an array?

Liu Xiaolou looked at Su Jiuniang, unable to guess what she was thinking for a moment.

Su Jiuniang rolled her eyes: "You don't need to guess blindly; whether you want to go or not is up to you. Our Su family originally had no one who could refine arrays. Father originally wanted to decline, but it was because I met Qingzhu before and heard her mention you, saying you understood some, so I told Father. Father said to let you decide for yourself, just don't make a fool of yourself after going and embarrass our Su family. Measure your own abilities and decide."

Liu Xiaolou thought for a moment and asked, "Is Qingzhu going?"

Su Jiuniang said, "I don't know about that. When she passed by Mount Shenwu a few months ago, she told me she was going into seclusion to break through to Foundation Establishment. Yuezhou is far away, and there is no news, so I don't know if she succeeded."

"I have never participated in the refining of such a mountain-protecting array. I don't know what the requirements are?"

"It's not that you alone will take it all on; you couldn't take it all on, and the Zhao family wouldn't allow any single array master to take on the refining of all the array plates. It will mostly be broken down into large and small sub-arrays, with one array master refining one piece, and finally fusing and nesting them. I heard that our Mount Shenwu great array was done this way. I have inquired about your array; I heard it's immersive? If it's truly so, then going is fine."

"Does Jiuniang want to try it?"

"No interest. In any case, this trip to the Jin Jin Tingpai will take three to five months at the shortest, and half a year or more at the longest. Usually, the Jin Jin Tingpai will provide a reward. You weigh it yourself."

Having a reward, being able to enrich his experience in refining array plates, and perhaps being able to learn more about the way of arrays, Liu Xiaolou had already decided: he had to go!

"Is going enough? No need to test my array skills?"

"Small families naturally need to be tested, but our family has already sent a letter to Fanghe Peak. After you go, you can report your name to enter the mountain; no need for testing. To what extent you can do it depends entirely on yourself."

"Jiuniang, thank you..."

"No need to thank me; you have also helped me. That's it!" After saying that, Jiuniang turned and left.

Liu Xiaolou sighed. Su Jiuniang... forget it... don't think about it so much...

Jinting Mountain is far away in...

It's all for your own good!

He summoned Susu and told her his decision. Susu was obviously very disappointed. Liu Xiaolou persuaded her: "Since Wuniang is willing to cultivate you, follow her to the back mountain. Cultivation is always the foundation. In the future, if you can reach Foundation Establishment, who would dare to treat you as a maid?"

Susu said aggrievedly, "But I want to serve Young Master."

Liu Xiaolou laughed: "Susu, actually I have never treated you as a slave. From now on, you must not call yourself a slave in front of me. To say it a thousand times, cultivation is the foundation of all methods. Only when your cultivation is high in the future can you have a time when you can make your own decisions. If you really want to follow me, let's work hard to cultivate together. When one day our cultivation is high, many things will be easy to handle, otherwise, the Su family will not let you leave."

Susu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I listen to Young Master. Then Dabai and Xiaohei..."

Liu Xiaolou said, "They don't need us to worry about them. When the time comes, close the garden gate and let them be carefree here. Rest assured, they know how to clean the garden and won't make it too messy. Um, the only thing to worry about is stealing food in the back mountain. I need to give a warning about this, and I also need to go to the Yunhai Pavilion to entrust Jiuniang, otherwise, if they are really caught and stewed, it would be a grievance."

Three days later, after receiving two "impotent" masters and making them satisfied, Liu Xiaolou announced that in order to verify the sustainability of the illusion array's effects and also to further improve the level of the illusion array, he decided to leave the mountain for a period of time. He asked the two "impotent" masters: "Do you have confidence in persisting for three months?"

These two "impotent" masters waved their fists and expressed their determination: "Rest assured, Master Liu, we have confidence and determination; we will definitely persist for three months without falling!"

After seeing off the two "impotent" masters, Liu Xiaolou left the Qingyu Furong Garden and took a trip to the Yunhai Pavilion, but Su Jiuniang was unwilling to see him and let Miss Xiao Qin come out to meet him. Miss Xiao Qin responded coldly and indifferently to the matter of Dabai and Xiaohei, looked at Liu Xiaolou with an expressionless face, and snorted coldly: "A waste of a good appearance!"

Liu Xiaolou arrived at Jinting Mountain on the eighth day of the first lunar month and came to the outskirts of this famous mountain under heaven. Jinting Mountain is a blessed land, but a true blessed land cannot be that large; it is only on the central main peak.

As an important branch of the Jin Jin Tingpai, the Zhao family occupies Fanghe Peak on the outskirts of Jinting Mountain, more than ten miles away from the main peak.

The Zhao family itself is a large clan, similar to the Su family. There are more than ten cultivators above Foundation Establishment in the clan, and there is even Zhao Yongchun at the Nascent Soul level, who is one of the three elders of the Jin Jin Tingpai.

Regarding Zhao Yongchun, Liu Xiaolou first heard about him from Su Jiuniang. At that time, he was preparing to take Zhou Qiniang of the Zhou family of the Qingyu Sect as his second wife. Although he was already at the advanced age of one hundred and eighty-six, his body was very healthy, which was actually a good thing for Zhou Qiniang. Unfortunately, Zhou Qiniang had someone in her heart, so a good thing became a bad thing. In the end, Liu Xiaolou also got involved and stirred up this marriage, achieving another marriage.

What he didn't expect was that one day he would actually work for the Zhao family. Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable.

Under the mountain gate, Liu Xiaolou reported his identity and name to the Zhao family steward, who immediately invited him up the mountain, and the etiquette was very thorough.

After going up to the mid-mountain terrace, before his eyes was a lawn as green as if washed, with countless fresh flowers scattered among them. Three mountain peaks stood side by side in front, with white clouds like jade belts winding around the waist of the mountains, and even more waterfalls falling from the peaks, most of which turned into water mist in mid-air and gathered into the jade belts.

Fanghe Peak is named for raising cranes. From time to time, one can hear one or two crane calls, but when looking up, one cannot see the shadows of cranes, and it is unknown where they are raised.

This was the mountain scenery with the least worldly smoke and fire that Liu Xiaolou had ever seen. Being in it was like washing away lead and flowers, with a feeling of being detached from the dust and transcending the vulgar.

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly liked this place a little. A thought couldn't help but arise in his heart: for Zhou Qiniang, the price of eloping with Star Dejun was truly quite high.

On the mid-mountain terrace stood a few bamboo houses. In front of the bamboo house in the center, an old man sat cross-legged with a long beard hanging over his chest. He looked at Liu Xiaolou and extended an invitation: "Please."

Liu Xiaolou sat opposite him: "May I ask..."

The old man sized up the Liu Xiaolou in front of him, his eyes slightly surprised: "Which array master are you? How old are you?"

Liu Xiaolou replied: "Senior, please. I am the son-in-law of the Su family of Mount Shenwu, Liu Xiaolou. In another month, I will be twenty-two."

The old man pondered for a while, slightly hesitant: "I have heard of you. The Su family said you understand arrays and are an array master. I don't know which path of arrays you are proficient in?"
