CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: COMPLETE ARRAY MANUAL

"Finally, it’s this one."

Xu Ping opened the last jade box, inside which lay a jade slip.

This jade slip was not only much thicker than the others, but its texture was also quite different, resembling mortal mutton-fat white jade, warm and glossy, with threads of gold inside.

At a glance, it was clearly a high-grade jade slip.

As Xu Ping’s spiritual sense entered it, countless dense pieces of information instantly appeared, with the most eye-catching being a line of golden text—"Complete Array Guide!"

This was actually an inheritance of arrays ranging from first to second-stage!

The value of arrays needs no elaboration, as they have always been ranked first since ancient times.

If learned, the boost to one’s immortal path in the future would be unimaginable!

"I didn’t expect such a big surprise at the end!" Xu Ping’s face showed excitement.

He quickly browsed through it; this array inheritance covered everything from the most basic entry-level arrays to the most powerful second-stage upper-grade arrays, perfect for beginners to learn.

If this array inheritance were to be sold, it would cost at least a few thousand spirit stones!

What a huge profit!

Xu Ping took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his excitement as he carefully browsed the array inheritance.

However, the first line of the entry-level array suddenly left him a bit stunned:

"Arrays harness the changes of heaven and earth, it’s best for cultivators to study them with divine sense, achieving twice the result with half the effort..."

Damn it, divine sense is needed!

Xu Ping finally understood why Array Masters have always topped the chart in terms of value since ancient times.

Other Pill Masters and Artifact Refiners can at least start exploring during the Qi Refinement Stage, whereas Array Masters are best suited to entry during the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Yet, if one possesses divine sense, it significantly enhances all aspects of immortal cultivation and combat.

Continuing on.

The materials and spirit stones required later on were manageable; the key to truly becoming an Array Master lay in one’s aptitude, particularly one’s comprehension of arrays!

After carefully reading through once, Xu Ping solemnly stored the array inheritance safely: "Now is not the time to study arrays; it’s better to wait until I’m in my best condition to research them!"

Although the study of arrays is challenging, with a proficient panel, he still had a chance.

Storing the array inheritance, he then turned his gaze to the last eight storage bags.

He carefully counted them.

One thousand two hundred spirit stones.

Eleven lower-grade magical artifacts, six mid-grade magical artifacts.

Twelve first rank upper-grade talismans and thirty-four first rank middle-grade talismans.

Various pills, minerals, herbs, array materials...

After counting so many things, Xu Ping let out a long breath.

What a staggering windfall!

Xu Ping felt it was somewhat unreal.

One could only exclaim, this old demon cultivator was truly rich!

After categorizing and storing everything, a wave of fatigue washed over Xu Ping who had relaxed.

Today’s fierce battle was truly exhausting.

He used a Cleaning Talisman to clean his body thoroughly, then fell into a deep sleep on the bed.

...

...

During Xu Ping’s sleep.

The demon cultivator incident completely exploded throughout the market.

The casualties were too severe; the Demon Suppression Team lost as much as two-thirds.

To join the Demon Suppression Team, one must have at least mid-Qi Refinement cultivation.

This horrifying level of damage was enough to cripple the four major forces, not to mention, two of the four leaders were killed.

Of course, what was even more striking was Xu Ping, who, in the Qi Refining Realm, comprehended the Sword Qi Thunder Sound, becoming a peerless Sword Cultivator.

"A peerless Sword Cultivator!"

Countless people sighed, if one’s achievements were slightly better, others might be jealous, but when surpassed by so much, all that’s left is admiration!

Among the many loose cultivators in the market, the happiest was Yuan Wei.

"My master is a peerless Sword Cultivator!!" He was so excited he almost jumped up.

In the past, he just wanted to cling to a big thigh, but unexpectedly, this thigh was shockingly thick!

Just as Yuan Wei was reveling in his joy, there was a polite knock at the door.

"Yuan Wei, are you home?"

Opening the door, he saw it was Gang Leader Xue Hu from the World Alliance.

Xue Hu was a cultivator at the eighth layer of Qi Refinement, and the World Alliance he led was considered second only to the four major factions.

"Gang Leader Xue, what brings you to me?" Yuan Wei instinctively felt a little nervous.

"Brother Yuan Wei, you’re being too distant." Xue Hu smiled warmly, "I’m a few years older than you, just call me Brother Xue."

"Brother... Brother Xue?" Yuan Wei’s mind was a bit muddled.

"Hahaha, since you call me Brother, I should give you something in return." Xue Hu laughed heartily and took out several bottles of pills from his storage bag, placing them in front of Yuan Wei, "These are Spirit Gathering Pills, perfect for you."

"Ah?" Yuan Wei was even more bewildered.

What was going on with this sudden camaraderie and offering of gifts!

"Brother Yuan Wei, don’t be polite with me!" Xue Hu pressed the pills into his arms.

Helplessly, Yuan Wei accepted, "Thank you, Gang Leader... Brother."

"Hahaha, there’s no need to thank me between brothers!" Xue Hu beamed.

The two chatted leisurely for a while.

Yuan Wei’s mind was still foggy until Xue Hu was about to bid farewell, and he finally snapped out of it, "Ah... I’ll see Brother Xue out!"

Watching Xue Hu’s gradually retreating figure, a cold breeze cleared Yuan Wei’s mind, and his thoughts became clearer.

Xue Hu coming to him and acting so friendly, even giving him such valuable pills, he finally understood his intentions.

Xue Hu wanted to get close to his master but didn’t have a way, so he came to him.

Recalling Xue Hu’s enthusiastic and even somewhat flattering smile, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh out loud.

To have someone so powerful and influential treating him with such warmth, even flattery, his sense of vanity was about to explode!

Yuan Wei stood at the door, receiving warm greetings from the neighbors passing by.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, come have a drink at my place."

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, I’ve stewed some demon beast flesh today, want to come over for dinner?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuan..."

...

...

"Bang bang bang..."

"Open up!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, open up!"

A rapid knocking pulled Xu Ping from his slumber. He got up and opened the door to see Zhang Chenyu standing there anxiously.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, do you know what happened last night?"

"Last night’s event?"

Xu Ping paused, then realized, "You mean the demon suppression incident?"

"Exactly!" Zhang Chenyu said eagerly, "The Ling Tiger Gang is almost wasted, their leader Gao Jun actually defected to the demon cultivators, leading to severe casualties among their elite members."

"That’s not really related to you, is it?"

"How is it not? I’m also a member of the Ling Tiger Gang! Once it’s wasted, other gangs will likely come fighting for territory, making life unsettled again."

"That wouldn’t affect you; you’ve already reached the seventh layer of Qi Refinement and you’re a Talisman Master, regardless of which gang comes, they’ll surely treat you with courtesy."

Zhang Chenyu paused, realizing, and then slapped his thigh: "He’s right; as a seventh-layer Qi Refinement cultivator, I’m quite a prominent figure in the market. What am I afraid of!"
