"Now, your master will demonstrate the thod of Array Refinent for you. You must watch carefully. This is only a small array, not complicated, but the principles are the sa,"
Yuan Venerate said, already taking out an Array Refining Stone, and then he produced a strange tool.
It looked sowhat like an Alchemy Furnace, but the aura was clearly different.
"This is called a Refining Array Furnace. It’s a bit like an Alchemy Furnace, but the internal structure is completely different,"
Yuan Venerate explained, "This plate on the Refining Array Furnace is the Formation Disk. When setting up an array, you arrange it on this. It may look small, but actually, it holds another world within. Try channeling your Soul Power into it."
Ling Xiao did as Yuan Venerate instructed, and the mont his Soul Power touched the Formation Disk, a vast space appeared before him.
"You see, the size of this space can be adjusted, even the environnt can be adjusted. It changes according to the size of your Magic Array and Array Formation. Of course, my Alchemy Furnace is of a higher grade, so the range of changes is quite large. A common Refining Array Furnace can only accommodate a large city at most, and at the smallest, it can be as tiny as the tip of a needle,"
Yuan Venerate continued, "You should understand how to arrange regular Magic Arrays and Array Formations on the Formation Disk, you’ve learned all that from books, haven’t you?"
Ling Xiao nodded.
"Good, now we co to the key part. The refining process is very similar to alchemy, requiring control of the fla, but it involves so special spells along the way. Each type of Array Formation has different spells, and you have to rember them all clearly and understand them,"
While speaking, Yuan Venerate directly threw a book to Ling Xiao, "This is the ’Complete Collection of Refining Array Spells.’ Take it and morize it!"
Afterward, he personally demonstrated the Array Refinent for Ling Xiao.
Like with alchemy, the first step was to choose the materials.
The second step was quite different. In alchemy, the goal was to create pills; in Array Refinent, it was to set up Magic Arrays or Array Formations.
The third step was to light the fire, which was the sa for both processes.
The fourth step was also about controlling the fire, only alchemy didn’t require chanting spells whereas Array Refinent did have corresponding spells.
The fifth step was to open the furnace, which was no different except that in alchemy, pills co out, while in Array Refinent, what cos out is an Array Refining Stone that has lded with the Array Formation or Magic Array.
He recited this process to Yuan Venerate.
"More or less correct, but you misunderstood the fourth step. During alchemy, most pills don’t require chanting spells, but so pills with special effects must be combined with spells, and these pills have special inscriptions on them after they are made,"
Yuan Venerate said earnestly, "But you’re not at that level yet, so there’s no need for you to learn it now. When you can refine Earth-grade Spirit Pills, it won’t be too late to study then."
"Disciple understands,"
"Alright, that’s the general process of Refining Arrays. I’ve demonstrated it for you. I’ll give you this Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone,"
Yuan Venerate gifted the Array Refining Stone he’d refined to Ling Xiao.
"The Fire Serpent Array is simple, useful in battle, summoning up to ninety-nine fire snakes to aid martial artists in combat. The strength and attack power of the Fire Serpent Array relate to the materials. This Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone is just made from diocre materials, producing a diocre Array Refining Stone. Each fire snake’s attack power is equivalent to an early-stage Martial Pulse Ninth Level martial artist, and it can only trigger up to ten fire snakes,"
Yuan Venerate spoke nonchalantly, but Ling Xiao listened with utter amazent.
Just this one stone was equivalent to ten early-stage Martial Pulse Ninth Level martial artists?
If he took this thing to the secular world, wouldn’t it beco a martial treasure capable of causing bloodshed and turmoil?
"That’s enough, you can go back now. If you can morize the ’Complete Collection of Refining Array Spells’ in its entirety and can refine a Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone with your own hands, then I will fulfill one of your wishes,"
Yuan Venerate said with a smile.
"Hehe, Master, I want to use the ’Guanghan Palace’ of the Moon Hua Sect. May I?"
Ling Xiao had long since investigated; Guanghan Palace was a treasure site of Moon Hua Sect, where the cold air could aid in cultivating defensive Martial Arts and was very beneficial for advancing one’s cultivation level.
He was still a long way from ascending to the Transcendent Realm.
However, if he could break through to the fifth level of the "Heavenly Dragon Golden Body", his physical condition would already be equivalent to the strength of the Transcendent Realm. By then, even if his cultivation level hadn’t reached that level, he would no longer fear attacks from Martial Artists below the third level of the Transcendent Realm.
At the very least, he wouldn’t be instantly killed, nor would he be as embarrassed as he was when he encountered Hei Suo in Yunkong City, where he could only rely on sly tricks to outsmart his opponent.
"Hahaha, you little rascal are quite the trickster, even knowing about Guanghan Palace."
Yang Dan Lin laughed heartily, "Old buddy, he’s posed quite a challenge for you."
"What challenge is this? The guardian of Guanghan Palace is Guanghan Celestial Venerate, isn’t it? She has always wanted you to help her refine a Spirit Pill, so just agree to it. Let her prepare the materials herself, you help her with the refinent, and the condition is to let Ling Xiao enter Guanghan Palace for cultivation," the Yuan Venerate cursed.
"Hehe, it actually seems quite feasible."
Yang Dan Lin was stunned for a mont; what the Yuan Venerate said was indeed correct.
Despite the Guanghan Celestial Venerate’s icy and unfeeling deanor, she too needed pills to enhance her strength.
Allowing Ling Xiao to enter Guanghan Palace for cultivation was not against the rules of Moon Hua Sect because the rules stated that anyone at the level of Inner Sect Elders can recomnd talented youngsters to enter.
Yang Dan Lin was not an Elder, but his status was equivalent to that of an Inner Sect Elder, even higher, in fact.
Recomnding Ling Xiao was completely fine.
But making the recomndation was one thing, getting the difficult-to-deal-with Guanghan Celestial Venerate to agree was another matter.
So ti ago, over this sa issue, Demonfla Celestial had a fight with Guanghan Celestial Venerate. However, it seed that Demonfla had suffered a loss and had to pay a significant amount of upper-grade Spirit Stones to allow Ming Tian to cultivate there for a period.
Of course, what the Demonfla Celestial could not achieve was very easy for Yang Dan Lin.
"Fine then, I’ll agree to this. If you manage to do as Master Yuanzun says, this old man will put his pride aside and plead with that Guanghan Celestial Venerate," Yang Dan Lin said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master; thank you, senior!"
Ling Xiao had only ntioned it casually without holding much hope, but to his surprise, the two elderly n had agreed straightaway. It seed he still had too much to learn.
"What’s there to thank? Since you’ve taken as your master, I must give you so benefits. Don’t worry about the affairs of the Pharmacy Hall; just focus on going back and crafting the Fire Serpent Refining Array Stone," Yuan Venerate said, yawning, "Your master is going to sleep."
Ling Xiao bid farewell to Yuan Venerate and Yang Dan Lin, returning once more to his own cave dwelling.
He had already understood the basics of Array Formations and Magic Arrays, which ant that diocre Magic Arrays and Array Formations were no longer an issue for him.
The key that followed was essentially Array Refinent.
Of course, before refining arrays, morizing the "Complete Collection of Refining Array Spells" was a must.
Ling Xiao had thought so.
However, when he actually tried to morize it, he found it was not so easy at all.
