Chapter 131 – Array Disk


Mi Xiaojing was scared out of his wits. The cultivation world was truly cruel, with sects being wiped out and people being killed left and right. He said, “Alright, I understand. I will be prepared and make sure to escape when the time comes.”

“Even if you try to escape, there’s no guarantee you’ll succeed. It’s better for you to find a place to hide. As for the others, they don’t need to hide. Their cultivation levels are too low to be killed. After all, the sect still needs people to operate even after taking over their headquarters. If everyone is killed, the sect will be completely destroyed.”

Lu Yu saw Mi Xiaojing deep in thought and decided to stay silent, waiting patiently. He didn’t know that Mi Xiaojing was communicating with Wang Weijun and thought that Mi Xiaojing was pondering over what he had just said.

After a moment, Mi Xiaojing looked up and asked, “If it can’t be repaired, how long can the core still function?”

“I don’t know. We can only guess. Haha, I’m just saying. After all, there are higher-ups worrying about it. It’s not up to me to judge.”

Lu Yu didn’t dare to continue along this topic.

During this period of time, everything was peaceful and there were no attacks. The lower-level cultivators gradually became more active. They had no choice but to engage in various activities to sustain their cultivation and livelihoods. Being closed off for a long time had a great impact on the lower levels of the sect.

Mi Xiaojing and Lu Yu discussed other matters regarding the sect, such as the Grass-Benevolence Hall and trading.

Lu Yu helped Mi Xiaojing refine spirit pills and obtained a large amount of spirit stones. These spirit stones were what Mi Xiaojing needed. Just the use of the Green Wood Array alone required a significant amount of spirit stones. Even though Mi Xiaojing had obtained a large number of spirit stones, it still pained him to use them.

Now Mi Xiaojing understood that spirit stones were like money. Money could be exchanged for many things. Therefore, obtaining spirit stones was his current priority. With his exquisite alchemy skills, he began to accumulate spirit stones.

Many transactions needed to be completed with the help of Lu Yu. Although he took advantage of Mi Xiaojing in many ways, Mi Xiaojing was still satisfied. He didn’t want to attract attention, but unfortunately, that was no longer possible. Ever since he gained the recognition of the Elder in the Elemental Infant stage, he became a prominent figure in the sect.

“Senior brother, from now on, I’ll trouble you to personally handle the transactions. We won’t be able to go to the Gathering Spring Branch.”

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, “Alright, as long as I have time, I will come over. I have also prepared a lot of spirit pills for you this time.”

“That’s great! Haha, I’ve been busy recently. Many people want to trade for spirit pills. I hardly have any inventory left, and the prices of spirit pills have increased by forty percent. Some scarce spirit pills have skyrocketed in price, especially the ones for Foundation Establishment and Elemental Infant stages. The prices are unbelievable!”

Mi Xiaojing gave a lot of spirit pills and received a lot of spirit stones in return, which was the profit from previous transactions.

Lu Yu looked enviously at Mi Xiaojing’s storage bracelet. It was his first time seeing such a thing. In the cultivation world, only cultivators with some background could use storage bracelets. For cultivators at the middle and lower levels, being able to use a storage bag was already considered good.

The storage bracelet was one of the best tools for combat. With just a slight movement of the hand, weapons or talismans inside the bracelet could fly out, much more convenient than carrying a storage bag around the waist. It had almost become a symbol of status and identity.

Mi Xiaojing put away the spirit stones and stood up, saying, “If there’s anything, you can send me a message.”

Lu Yu also stood up and was very satisfied. This time, he had obtained a lot of spirit pills again, and with these spirit pills, his status in the sect had greatly improved. Even some senior brothers and sisters, senior uncles and aunts, treated him politely. Many things that were difficult to accomplish before could now be easily done with just a word, as many people were willing to help.

Lu Yu accompanied Mi Xiaojing to the gate of the courtyard before waving goodbye.

Mi Xiaojing flew up on his sword, turning into a streak of sword light and disappearing in an instant.

……………

Radix Notoginseng, Oni, Banjin, Big Head Zhengtong, Thousand Poisons Qian, and the most powerful Xu Zhongqing.

Xu Zhongqing stared at the sword array below and said calmly, “We’ve prepared for so long, let’s not delay any further. Give them a taste and let them move a bit.”

Thousand Poisons Qian said, “Don’t worry, this combined attack is completely different from the last one. The last attack wasn’t satisfying enough. This time, let’s cooperate better…”

Radix Notoginseng said, “We’ve practiced several times. It should work this time. Haha, it would be best if we can break the array with one strike!”

Xu Zhongqing shook his head and said, “That might be difficult. The Sword Heart Sect’s sword array is still very powerful.”

Radix Notoginseng said, “We’ll know once we attack! Haha, I want to see the Sword Heart Sect completely destroyed!” His eyes flickered with a fierce light.

The method used by Radix Notoginseng wasn’t particularly special. It was a formation that consumed the opponent’s formation. The attack power of a formation was much stronger than that of an individual. They had six Elemental Infant stage experts, and once they formed the formation, their attacks could shake the entire Mountain Protection Array.

However, the six of them didn’t expect to break the Mountain Protection Array with this formation. After all, the Mountain Protection Array was set up by true experts and had a foundation in the sect. In other words, the Sword Heart Sect’s array had a foundation, while their formation did not. It was inherently insufficient.

But this formation was the result of the six of them discussing, practicing, and coordinating, combined with the use of some spiritual tools. The attack power was extremely strong, but it also had a flaw, which was that it couldn’t be sustained for long.

The most peculiar thing was that this attacking formation was actually designed and refined by Thousand Poisons Qian.

Thousand Poisons Qian’s methods were strange and ever-changing, thanks to his combination of Evolutionary Immortality and cultivation. He focused on Evolutionary Immortality and supplemented it with cultivation. Moreover, his Evolutionary Immortality cultivation was extremely powerful. As long as one was a cultivator, they knew that once Evolutionary Immortality reached the Heart Guarding stage, its strength could even surpass that of an Elemental Infant stage cultivator.

Among the six, Xu Zhongqing was the strongest, with Thousand Poisons Qian being almost on par with him. However, Thousand Poisons Qian’s methods were more complex and mysterious. Even Xu Zhongqing didn’t have confidence when facing Thousand Poisons Qian. Especially when Thousand Poisons Qian proposed this attacking formation, Xu Zhongqing couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it.

Each person had a spiritual tool, and after being infused with Thousand Poisons Qian’s true words, they formed a six-person combined attack array. These spiritual tools were provided by Radix Notoginseng. Once they shattered the Mountain Protection Array, these spiritual tools would be given to Thousand Poisons Qian, Xu Zhongqing, and Zhengtong as part of their reward.Regardless, the Vast Gold Sect did have some depth. Radix Notoginseng managed to produce six spiritual artifacts. After processing them with true words, he stored the artifacts on the back of his hand. Each person had a true word Spirit Script on the back of their hand. It was quite simple to activate, as long as Thousand Poisons focused his thoughts on the true words, the spiritual artifacts would explode instantly.

As for the formation’s eye, it was the spiritual artifact controlled by Thousand Poisons. (To be continued.)
