Chapter 112

Practice room.

Yin Qi sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and recalled the contents of the array inheritance in his mind.

Arrays are a broad category, which can be subdivided into: auxiliary arrays, feng shui arrays, alchemy arrays, artifact refining arrays, puppet arrays, etc., more than ten types, each with its own effects.

Auxiliary arrays are arrays in the traditional sense, which can assist cultivators in cultivation or combat.

Like the four great arrays of the Primordial World, they are all of this type.

Feng shui arrays belong to a special type of array, which can change the fortune in the dark, mysterious and unpredictable, but they are also easily countered by the Heavenly Dao; in fact, not many people practice them.

In the array inheritance, the vast majority are auxiliary arrays, with a small amount of feng shui arrays.

As for other types of arrays, they are all in the inheritances of alchemy, artifact refining, etc., and belong to those hundred professions themselves.

Studying them separately has no meaning, or rather, not much meaning.

The essence of arrays lies in borrowing the power of heaven and earth, thereby realizing the transformation of energy and even laws.

Yin Qi first studied the Spirit Gathering Array, because this array is the most commonly used, and can be used to gather the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, thereby increasing cultivation speed, and even used to cultivate spirit plants, etc.

The Primordial Continent originally had rich spiritual qi, and Zhaoge City even had a Spirit Gathering Array left by the sages of the human race; the richness of spiritual qi in the city was at least fifty times that of the outside world, so there was no need to arrange a Spirit Gathering Array at all.

But Yin Qi is going to travel through the heavens next; in the low- and medium-martial arts worlds, this Spirit Gathering Array will have great use.

In fact, the Spirit Gathering Array is also a broad category.

In these array inheritances, there is also a Zhou Tian Spirit Gathering Array, which can gather the power of the sun, moon, and stars.

Yin Qi began to comprehend from the simplest Spirit Gathering Array.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

Yin Qi slowly opened his eyes, a look of solemnity flashing in them.

The difficulty of comprehending this array was beyond his imagination, because the Dao of arrays involves too much knowledge—heaven, time and space, the three talents, the four symbols, the five elements, the eight trigrams, etc. —and there are various complex calculations and deductions involved.

If he did not have genius-level comprehension, he would probably find it difficult even to get started.

Just for a simple Spirit Gathering Array, he would need at least half a month to fully comprehend it.

Of course, arranging is arranging, and comprehending is comprehending; these are two concepts.

Just like one plus one equals two, everyone knows it.

But why one plus one equals two, that is a world-class mathematical problem.

Yin Qi even couldn't help but want to burn fortune to briefly raise his comprehension to the Immortal Bone grade, but after thinking about it carefully, he suppressed this thought for the time being.

For one, he did not want to be overly dependent on the Fortune Altar, and for another, he still had plenty of time.

This second assessment must be about military affairs, so as long as there is no major war in the Yin Shang, this second assessment will not begin, and it might not for the next year or two.

He is prepared to go to the worlds of the heavens when the second assessment begins.

During this time, he can cultivate slowly, and he can also comprehend arrays slowly; at worst, he can burn fortune before entering the heavens to comprehend the arrays he needs to master.

Time passed like a white horse passing a gap, and soon it was the third day of the third month.

This day, the sun was rising.

The Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground was filled with fluttering flags, and warhorses were neighing.

The Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground is a royal hunting ground, more than a thousand li in radius, very vast; every year, the imperial court captures many demonic beasts from various places and confines them inside for the noble youths to hunt, cultivating their martial spirit.

The imperial carriage had not yet arrived, and thousands of noble youths were chatting on the grass outside the hunting ground.

Yin Shou had arrived long ago, surrounded by a group of people.

He is the most famous martial arts genius of the Yin Shang, possessing a large number of supporters in Zhaoge.

Yin Qi had also arrived, wearing white martial attire, missing the three parts of elegance from the past, and adding a few parts of heroic spirit.

"Prince!"

"Greetings, Prince!"

People kept greeting him along the way, and Yin Qi responded very peacefully.

But it was limited to this.

Because these noble youths had all practiced martial arts since childhood and had no dealings with him.

If it were a poetry gathering, the situation would be different.

Yin Qi did not care either, and stopped with Ding Ce in an open space.

This time he did not ride a Lingxi beast, but a Qilin horse.

The Lingxi beast's body is too huge, comparable to an elephant, and is not suitable for shuttling through the forest to hunt.

Yin Qi looked at the Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground, where low hills were undulating and stretching endlessly.

In his memory, he had only gone for outings in the past and had never entered the hunting ground to hunt, so this was his first spring hunt in the true sense, and he was quite curious and expectant in his heart.

"Prince!"

Suddenly hearing a voice coming from behind, Yin Qi couldn't help but turn his head, and he saw a heroic youth riding a Jiao blood horse walking slowly, and beside him was a very delicate youth, with red lips and white teeth, and eyes as clear as water.

"Feihu!"

Yin Qi smiled gently and also greeted him.

The person who came was Huang Feihu!

In "Investiture of the Gods", Huang Feihu was enfeoffed as the Martial Accomplishment King.

The Huang family has been loyal for seven generations, a family of military generals, and people from every generation have held high positions in the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty.

For example, Huang Feihu's father, Huang Gun, is currently the guard general of Jiepai Pass.

The current Huang Feihu is, of course, not the later Martial Accomplishment King.

But his martial arts have already reached great completion, and he was already a Heaven Realm powerhouse five years ago, with talent not inferior to Yin Shou's.

Huang Gun belongs to the old school of generals, his views are somewhat conservative, so he has always been one of Yin Qi's firm supporters.

It is precisely because of this that Yin Qi has some friendship with Huang Feihu.

Yin Qi guessed that the reason why Huang Feihu's younger sister, Huang Feiyan, later became the Huang Consort of King Zhou was likely because Di Yi bestowed the marriage, with the purpose of severing the connection between Yin Qi and the Huang family, so as to avoid Yin Qi having thoughts he shouldn't have.

"Greetings, Prince!"

The delicate youth beside Huang Feihu also bowed and saluted, but her voice was crisp and pleasant, and it was actually a female voice.

Yin Qi raised his eyebrows, having some guesses in his heart, but still asked doubtfully: "Feihu, who is this?"

Huang Feihu smiled and said: "Prince, this is my younger sister, Huang Feiyan. This spring hunt, she insisted on following, and no matter how I tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen, so I had no choice but to bring her along."

Yin Qi nodded slowly, smiled, and said: "So it is Miss Huang; I imagine she is a heroine who does not yield to men. However, there are many demonic beasts in this Eastern Suburb Hunting Ground; Feiyan, do not go too deep."

Huang Feiyan looked at Yin Qi, her eyes quite provocative, and said: "I have practiced martial arts since I was young, and now I am at the peak of the Human Realm; even if I go deep to hunt, it is not impossible. I just don't know what prey the Prince can hunt today?"

"Feiyan!"

Huang Feihu's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned his head to scold.

"No matter!"

Yin Qi waved his hand; he looked at Huang Feiyan with some doubts in his heart.

By rights, with his status and it being their first meeting, this Huang Feiyan shouldn't be targeting him, right?

However, she was just a young girl after all, and he didn't care too much, so he smiled lightly: "Oh, so you want to compete with me?"

Huang Feiyan held her head high and said: "That's right, I just don't know if the Prince is willing to play with me?"

Yin Qi said: "If it's just playing around, that's no fun; why don't we add some stakes? If you win, I'll lose you an Earth Origin Spirit Pill, but what if you lose?"
