Chapter 178: Array Technique Notes

But the water mist only lasted for a few breaths before vanishing. The void fluctuated, and the blue small banner condensed again, falling to the ground.

Wang Yu picked up the other two banners and studied them slightly, only to find that the three banners were generally identical, but the subtle parts seemed to be slightly different. However, he couldn't say where the differences were for a while.

He could only shake his head, put the three banners into his storage bag first, and then picked up the white-covered book, flipping through a few pages quickly.

"Array Technique Notes."

Wang Yu was greatly surprised. The book was actually the notes of that silver-robed man studying array techniques.

This "Li Li Shixiong Yun" of the Moluo Sect was also an array apprentice, and judging from the notes, his attainments in this area didn't seem shallow.

The more he flipped through the notes, the more surprised he felt in his heart.

The way of arrays could be said to be the most mysterious thing in the cultivation world. Compared to alchemists and artifact refiners, array masters were even rarer.

Because compared to the former, array masters valued talent even more, but unfortunately, cultivators with array talent were few and far between in the cultivation world. Even an array apprentice would be highly valued by the sect.

Because if a sect wanted to develop truly long-term in one place, it certainly had to arrange a sect array, and only by relying on the sect array could the sect win against the strong with the weak and make foreign enemies not dare to invade easily.

Wang Yu had long been interested in the way of arrays, but firstly, he had to cultivate and learn artifact refining techniques, so he really couldn't spare any more energy to study arrays. Secondly, there weren't many books related to arrays in the Four Symbols Gate.

Most of the things mentioned in the few books involving introductory knowledge of arrays were vague. Even in overclocking mode, he didn't analyze much truly useful knowledge from them.

He later asked the deacon of the Scripture Pavilion and found out that the true inheritance of array masters was not in the Four Symbols Gate Scripture Pavilion at all, and the sect's array masters wouldn't easily put their own hard work into the Scripture Pavilion, but mostly taught it one-on-one to the apprentices they recognized.

Now, the silver-robed man's array notes recorded the introductory knowledge of arrays simply and easily, and also recorded every step of his learning the way of arrays from shallow to deep. Behind it, he also recorded three simple array diagrams he learned from a certain array master and the method of refining array-arranging tools.

"Iron Cloud Array, Water-Avoiding Array, Maze Array."

Wang Yu saw the content behind and suddenly realized. It turned out that the Iron Cloud Brick was essentially an array-arranging artifact, while the three blue small banners were the array-arranging artifacts of the Water-Avoiding Array. Its main restriction was to arrange a small restricted water space in the water, and the covering function of those water mists was actually just an incidental restriction of this array.

Wang Yu didn't have time to read the book carefully, carefully put away the notes, and prepared to study them carefully when he was free in the future.

Then he took the golden scroll into his hand and opened it slowly.

The seemingly golden scroll, after being opened, contained a vivid black and white ink painting inside. In the painting, a giant black python was flying out of a certain water pool. Around it were some mountain stones and trees, and in the high sky, two crescent moons were hanging at the same time, one large and one small, one deep and one shallow.

Wang Yu looked at the ink painting for a long time but couldn't see any name from it, so he could only roll up the painting again and put it into the storage bag.

He opened and checked the remaining medicine bottles and unexpectedly found a top-grade Yuan-Increasing Pill and four blood-colored medicinal pills, which made him happy in his heart. He then picked up the two blood-colored talismans.

These two talismans were blood-red all over, emitting a thick fishy smell, with spiritual patterns on the surface layer upon layer, dense and numerous.

They seemed to be second-rank Blood Escape Talismans!

Wang Yu had read many books recording talisman patterns. Just by checking the spiritual pattern patterns on the talismans slightly, he recognized these talismans that were famous in the demonic sect and couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

The Blood Escape Talisman was a demonic cultivator using secret methods to seal their own essence blood into the talisman, and then activating the so-called first mysterious escape technique of the demonic sect—the Blood Escape Method—by burning essence blood.

This kind of Blood Escape Talisman was not only difficult to refine but also extremely damaging to vitality. Very few demonic cultivators were willing to refine it, and only demonic cultivators above Foundation Establishment could refine it. Once refined, it was at least a second-rank talisman.

This kind of second-rank Blood Escape Talisman could naturally be considered a superb treasure for life-saving for the Jialan Secret Realm, which only had Qi Refinement disciples.

Crucially, according to the records in the book, this talisman was different from other demonic-specific talismans. As long as it was held in the hand and activated, it could be automatically activated regardless of whether one cultivated demonic techniques.

Wang Yu played with the two blood-colored talismans in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up, and at the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he had used the sword-pattern flying knife fast enough earlier; otherwise, once the silver-robed man activated this talisman, he likely wouldn't have been able to catch up even if he used the Wind-Fire Wheel.

Although the Wind-Fire Wheel escape technique was fast enough, it was actually more suitable for short-range rushing to kill enemies. Over a long period, not only was the mana consumption huge, but it was also impossible to control the direction of the escape technique freely.

Wang Yu put away the pills and blood-colored talismans properly, transferred the things in the other storage bags to his three storage bags, and then a fireball turned all the other storage bags into ashes, and he sat down to rest.

Although the previous battle didn't last long, it still consumed part of his mana, so he naturally had to recover first.

But after only a cup of tea's time of breathing, his body shook slightly, making Wang Yu open his eyes in surprise. He reached into his bosom with one hand, and the white positioning crystal ball appeared in his palm.

Only to see that in the center of the crystal ball in his palm, besides the small ball of red light in the center, two other balls of red light appeared at the edge, both of which were about the same size.

Wang Yu frowned. He didn't have any thoughts of going out to see in the tree hole, but the two red light balls paused at the original place for a moment and then flew rapidly toward the red light ball representing him.

"Could it be..."

Wang Yu saw this, was first surprised, but immediately remembered something, turned around and walked out of the tree hole, and flew into the air.

As a result, a moment later, a ball of white light came from the distant sky, and after a few flashes, it stopped in front of Wang Yu.

Wang Yu couldn't help but curiously look at the two people in the white light.

Only to see two young monks wearing gray cassocks standing on a lotus-shaped artifact as white as jade, also looking at him.

These two monks, one young and one tall and thin, the former with a smile on his face, the latter expressionless.

"So it is fellow Daoists from the Diamond Temple. Wang Yu of the Four Symbols Gate has met the two fellow Daoists." Wang Yu smiled and cupped his fists.

"Good, good. So it is a fellow practitioner from the Four Symbols Gate. I am Yuantong, and this is my Senior Brother Yuanming. Wang practitioner friend can wait here in advance, could it be that you also obtained that kind of positioning artifact from the demonic sect?" The young monk first returned a salute, then asked with a smile. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
