Chapter 321: Chapter 321 Envying Master Sha_1

"The Twelve Golden Lotus Art can complement the Snow Lotus Sword Technique, which is why the final move of the Snow Lotus Sword Technique is also crucial to comprehend."

As for his main body, it had begun to refine the Fire Serpent Array."

He had been relentlessly studying the Method of Array Refinement for many days."

After all, in order to cultivate at Guanghan Palace, he must fulfill the demands of the Yuan Venerate."

His master was a mysterious figure, sometimes gentle, but uncompromising on matters of principle, extremely stubborn, and strict."

If he failed to complete the task assigned to him, the prospect of going to Guanghan Palace ahead of time was simply impossible."

"Success!"

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Xiao looked at the Array Refining Stone in his hand, glowing faintly red, and couldn’t help but laugh excitedly."

The Array Refining Stone was originally colorless and tasteless, changing only when an array formation or magic array was melded into it."

The Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone appeared red, with inscriptions of the Fire Serpent Array and a tiny fire serpent, making it easy to recognize at any time."

"Time to report back to master."

Ling Xiao glanced at the two avatars in his cave dwelling and, with a hint of helplessness, collected them back into himself."

"Although the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique allows for the creation of avatars for cultivation, the problem is that they cannot go beyond ten meters from him."

This was why he was eager to find an advanced cultivation secret technique to replace the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique."

If they could operate further away, even when he was busy with other matters, the avatars could continue cultivating, thus avoiding a waste of time."

However, achieving that was definitely not possible now."

"Such things can’t be rushed or forced, much like the Twelve Golden Lotus Art, which only came into his possession through an unexpected life-and-death challenge."

He believed that as his cultivation level continued to rise and his strength grew, opportunities would certainly come his way."

The most pressing issue was to elevate his cultivation to the Transcendent Realm as soon as possible so that he could once again enter the Inner Moon Radiance Pavilion, where martial techniques capable of replacing the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique were available."

When he hurried to Yang Dan Lin’s dwelling, Yang Dan Lin was studying a new pill, and the Yuan Venerate lay sleeping beside him."

"Oh, my disciple, you’ve arrived. I thought you had forgotten our agreement," said the Yuan Venerate, barely opening his eyes—it was just a slit, perhaps to conserve energy."

"How could your disciple dare forget the tasks master has assigned? Besides, I have always wanted to cultivate at Guanghan Palace," Ling Xiao replied."

"Good, show me the Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone you’ve made," instructed the Yuan Venerate."

Ling Xiao obediently produced two Fire Serpent Refining Array Stones, one crafted by the Yuan Venerate and the other by himself."

At this point, the Yuan Venerate couldn’t bother asking any questions. He had long known that his disciple was extremely astute, with a memory and understanding far beyond others. Asking theoretical questions was pointless."

What mattered was the quality of the Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone he had crafted."

After closely examining Ling Xiao’s Array Refining Stone, the Yuan Venerate couldn’t help but furrow his brows."

"Have you really never been to the Heavenly Court Continent? Or studied the art of Array Refinement?"

"No!"

Ling Xiao honestly replied.

"I’m truly defeated by you, old pal. This time we’ve stumbled upon an unrivaled treasure. This kid managed to refine the Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone on his very first try, and the outcome was even better than mine as his master. I really feel like smashing my head into a block of tofu and calling it quits."

Yuan Venerate turned to Yang Dan Lin and said.

"Yuan Venerate old pal, no need to complain. When I first taught him Alchemy, it was the same. Do you know why I chose to have Lan Yu’er teach him? It’s because I was afraid of getting hit hard by the reality. This kid is truly a monster among monsters,"

Yang Dan Lin couldn’t help but smile wryly.

In the realm of Alchemy, Yang Dan Lin was quite famous among the Twelve Sects.

When it came to the Method of Array Refinement, on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, if Yuan Venerate claimed to be second, absolutely no one would dare claim to be first.

Yet, in the presence of this little monster Ling Xiao, they suddenly felt like imbeciles, utterly incomprehensible.

"Enough, since you’ve already been able to independently refine the Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone, it shows that your foundation is very solid. However, the Method of Array Refinement, just like the Alchemy Technique, even if you enter the Beginner Stage quickly, the deeper you go into it, the more you will discover its mystique and depth."

Yuan Venerate’s expression became solemn again and said, "Right now, you’re merely following the path laid out by others, standing on the shoulders of giants. Only when you can refine pills and magic arrays that are entirely your own will you truly be considered a master."

"Disciple shall heed Master’s teachings."

Ling Xiao bowed with his hands clasped.

"Good, not arrogant or rash, this is commendable. Well then, old pal, why don’t you go ahead and assign the Sect duties to this kid? Try to expose him to all sorts of large and small Array Formations and Magic Arrays of the Moon Hua Sect."

Upon saying this, Yuan Venerate then looked towards Ling Xiao and said, "Studying Magic Arrays and Array Formations is just the beginning. I require you to turn all these magic arrays and array formations into Array Refining Stones. Once you have done this, you may graduate. If there is anything you do not understand or are unsure of, you can always come to me for guidance."

"All of them!"

Although Ling Xiao had been in the Moon Hua Sect for over a month, he was aware of the Sect’s situation. Nearly every large and small cave dwelling and pavilion was protected by Array Formations, while smaller items like the Disciple Tokens and Elder Tokens had Magic Arrays.

To turn all of these into Array Refining Stones would be an enormous investment of time.

"Correct, all of them. However, you need not worry. As long as you complete this before you successfully graduate from the Moon Hua Sect, it will be acceptable. Next, I will have Senior Brother Yang contact Guanghan Celestial Venerate of the Guanghan Palace. You will soon be able to go there to cultivate, if you are willing."

"Thank you, Master!"

Ling Xiao hastily expressed his thanks.

Then, Yang Dan Lin called over Lan Yu’er, who then took Ling Xiao to familiarize himself with the Moon Hua Sect’s Array Formations and Magic Arrays.

The difference between Array Formations and Magic Arrays isn’t significant.

The former tend to be bigger and set up independently, while the latter are generally smaller, placed on small objects and cannot stand alone.

The principles behind both are interlinked; it’s just that one is developed towards a larger scale, and the other towards a smaller scale.

Regardless of whether it’s Array Formations or Magic Arrays, over time, their strength will wane, and they may even encounter issues due to certain reasons.

For example, the defense Array Formation on the Outer Sect challenge platform, if faced with a particularly strong disciple’s challenge, could potentially breach the Array Formation’s defensive limits and cause issues.

At that time, maintenance and repair would be necessary.

Generally, the task of maintaining Array Formations and Magic Arrays is managed by the "Array Method Hall."

However, the relationship between Lan Yu’er and the Master of the Array Method Hall was very good—they were truly close sisters. So, for her to bring Ling Xiao for this kind of work was no problem at all.

Even Ling Xiao’s work was temporarily recorded under both the Pharmacy Hall and Array Method Hall, which was quite special indeed.
