Chapter 61: A First-Rank High-Grade Array Master!

Holding the engraved array plate, Chu Xuan headed directly towards the Spirit Array Garden in the center of the market town.

Having secured the Grade C aid from the Immortal Abode, and with the Three Talents Pearl protecting him, he could easily contend with the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Immortal Abode. In this world, ordinary Dao Platform cultivators would certainly be unable to do anything to him.

I refuse to believe that the Daoist cultivators here could possess three complete sets of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The entire Xuanming Sect only has one cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm.

With safety guaranteed, it's time to make money. The only thing that attracts me to this world is its resources!

As soon as they stepped through the gates of the Spirit Array Garden, the apprentices on the second level of Qi Refining immediately brightened up and came to greet them.

"Master Chu, you've arrived!"

"Are we selling formation plates or buying materials today?"

It has been two months since Chu Xuan came here from the Federation. Apart from buying some start-up materials at a small shop outside at the beginning, all other transactions have been conducted in this Spirit Array Garden.

After all, independent cultivators are nowhere near as wealthy as sects. Now that they have protective measures, they should naturally make money off sect cultivators.

However, Chu Xuan was a beginner after all. When he first arrived, he could only rely on the basic formations he learned during his compulsory education to make a living by drawing some simple first-order low-grade formations.

However, even the most common low-grade formations from the Federation are considered high-quality low-grade formations here. Some of the stronger formations can even reach the mid-grade of the first rank.

In the waiter's eyes, he was a qualified mid-grade talisman master. Otherwise, the waiter would not have been so polite. This was the Spirit Array Garden, not a place for just anyone to try and extort money.

"Selling the array!"

As he spoke, Chu Xuan took out the array plate that had been inscribed. The apprentice in the shop looked down and was instantly stunned. After carefully checking it, he gasped in shock.

"Twelve spiritual energies, a superior-grade array plate, Array Master Chu, you've broken through?"

The array apprentice looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of respect.

A top-tier array master is already a top-tier figure in Qingyuefang.

As the saying goes, a top-tier array master is no less capable than a Dao Platform expert. Among the four paths of alchemy, array, talisman, and artifact, the path of array is the most difficult to cultivate.

The status of array masters is also the highest among all people. The status of array masters is higher than that of alchemists, weapon makers, and talisman makers. And the status of these three is higher than that of cultivators of the same level who have no skills.

The entire Qingyuefang originally had only one top-grade array master, but now there is one more.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly.

"hiss!"

"Please wait a moment, I will go and fetch the steward."

Another apprentice who had overheard everything immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Chu, please come upstairs!"

"good!"

Soon, in the private room on the second floor, Chu Xuan sat in a chair with spiritual tea, fresh spiritual fruits, pastries, dried fruits and candied fruits in front of him.

The Qi-cultivation level two array apprentice stood respectfully at the door of the private room.

Chu Xuan sighed inwardly, "This is the difference. A Qi Refining Stage 2 array apprentice—don't be fooled by the word 'apprentice.' Most people can't even become one."

Normally, cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining would treat them with great courtesy, but this person acted like a real servant.

Before he could finish his tea, he heard light footsteps in the distance. After a while, a voice rang out: "I have long heard that a master of formations has emerged in the market, but I have never had the chance to meet him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Qi, dressed in a long robe, pushed open the door and entered, speaking with a smile on his face.

That's right, Feng Qi, the market steward whom Chu Xuan captured at the time, was the only high-grade array master in Qingyue Market.

"Greetings, Deacon Feng!"

Chu Xuan stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said.

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. Please sit down."

The two sat facing each other, and Feng Qi, without hesitation, asked as soon as he sat down, "Fellow Daoist Chu, may I take a look at the array plate you have refined?"

"nature."

Chu Xuan took out a mid-grade first-tier earth array plate again and handed it to Feng Qi.

"Fellow Daoist, would you allow this old man to give it a try?"

"Please proceed, Steward Feng!" Chu Xuan gestured for him to proceed.

With a wave of his hand, Feng Qi summoned twelve spirit stones to the table. He then placed them one by one into the corresponding spirit stone slots on the array plate.

As all twelve spirit stones were placed in, the array plate instantly lit up with a hazy yellow light.

Sensing the rich earth elemental power emanating from it, Feng Qi's eyes lit up immediately. "Fellow Daoist, please step forward!"

"good!"

Feng Qi and Chu Xuan arrived at a brick house, which should be a house specifically used to test formations. Feng Qi signaled to the apprentice next to him to activate the formation plate.

As the array was activated, a yellow protective shield enveloped the apprentice.

Feng Qi flicked his sleeve, made a hand seal, and in a moment, a magic seal was formed. He raised his hand and pointed, and the magic seal transformed into a golden sword light that slashed fiercely at the formation in front of him.

The sword light struck the formation, causing it to dim slightly. However, the sword light shattered into pieces, and the formation instantly returned to its original state, as if it had not been attacked at all.

Feng Qi nodded slightly, raised his hand again to form a hand seal, this time half a breath slower than before. A magic seal was formed, and a large amount of magic power gathered in the void, transforming into a dazzling sword light that slashed straight down.

The sword light pierced the air, causing a whooshing sound. With a loud boom, the entire formation was instantly shattered, the spiritual light on the formation plate dimmed, and the formation dissipated.

The first-tier, mid-grade Earth Formation was forcibly broken.

This old guy has some skill. That last sword aura was as loud as thunder and as powerful as a bolt of lightning. His strength is probably similar to that of a cultivator at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining in the Federation.

This is because the Federation cultivators generally practice immortal scriptures. If they practiced low-level techniques, they would probably need to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining to have such strength.

This level of strength is indeed quite impressive within the cultivation system of this world.

However, it was only "good enough." In front of his second-level body refinement, these techniques couldn't even be used once. By the time they formed hand seals, he could kill them twice over.

Meanwhile, Feng Qi was still focused on evaluating the strength of the formation, completely unaware that the high-grade formation master beside him was the "Yuan Dan Realm Great Demon" who had almost crushed him to death four months ago!

"It is indeed a high-grade array plate. Although you are only a beginner, congratulations, fellow Daoist. You will become the second high-grade array master of Qingyuefang in the future."

"Fellow Daoist, you're too kind. I succeeded by sheer luck. Compared to Deacon Feng, I'm still far from being a match."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you are mistaken. I am already very old, while you are in your prime. Your future achievements will surely far surpass mine."

Thinking of this, Feng Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, judging from your appearance, you should be under thirty, right?"

A thirty-year-old top-grade array master could easily be admitted to the inner sect and enter the sect to cultivate. Recommending a top array prodigy to the sect would definitely bring generous rewards.

Chu Xuan shook his head without hesitation, "Deacon Feng is mistaken. I took a youth-preserving elixir when I was young, and now I am over fifty, nearing the age of sixty."
