Chapter 61 Yuanwu Kingdom, Tianxing Sect Market!
Dongfuzhong.
Lin Chuan carefully surrounded the Spirit Eye Spring he had just discovered with stones.
Using some of the most basic techniques recorded in the "Wuji Array Manual," the simplest restrictions on concealing breath and gathering spirit were depicted, temporarily sealing most of its spiritual energy to prevent it from leaking out.
To prevent unnecessary prying before a complete set of protective measures is in place.
The stone chamber has a flat floor and enough space to create a quiet room and an alchemy room.
But he did not act immediately; instead, he sat cross-legged by the newly acquired spiritual spring.
They pondered a plan to reinforce the cave.
He actually possesses a priceless inheritance—the "Limitless Array Manual".
That ancient jade slip contained profound and extensive content, the culmination of a lifetime's work by a Core Formation stage array master.
Although Lin Chuan occasionally studied it, he did not delve deeply enough, and the content he has mastered so far is probably less than one percent of the content of the Array Codex.
If given enough time to immerse himself in the study, it wouldn't be impossible for him to set up some exquisite formations capable of withstanding Foundation Establishment cultivators.
But Lin Chuan quickly shook his head and dismissed the thought.
Although the Foundation Establishment stage grants a lifespan of two hundred years, it requires overcoming numerous hurdles such as accumulating magical power and breaking through bottlenecks, and ultimately, one's energy is limited.
Reaching a higher realm and successfully forming the core before one's lifespan runs out is the most urgent matter at hand.
As for the various arts of cultivation such as formations, alchemy, and weapon crafting, perhaps it's not too late to choose one to study after one has formed a core, gained a longer lifespan, and possessed greater magical power.
"The most urgent task is to find a few existing powerful formations to protect the foundation of the cave."
Lin Chuan made up his mind.
He got up, took out several spare array flags and some spiritual materials, and began to inscribe defensive restrictions along the stone chamber entrance and main passage.
Although these restrictions were set up based on his knowledge of common formations, their power was not top-notch, but it was enough to make Qi Refining stage cultivators hesitate.
Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would need to put in some effort to sneak in silently.
It took him nearly half a day to get the main areas set up properly.
"This place is so remote. I was just going out to buy what I needed. It shouldn't be such a coincidence that I was discovered by my fellow Foundation Establishment disciples."
Lin Chuan comforted himself, "Even if someone does pass by, these barriers make it impossible to confirm whether anyone is inside. They probably wouldn't force their way in and cause unnecessary trouble."
Before leaving, he took one last deep look at the Spirit Eye Spring, and only after confirming that the restriction was functioning properly did he turn around and leave the cave.
He then mounted an ordinary flying magical artifact and sped off towards the Yuanwu Kingdom.
He clearly remembered that the area where he opened his cave was close to the northwestern edge of the Taiyue Mountains, only a few hundred miles away from the border of the Yuanwu Kingdom. With the speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would take less than half a day to arrive.
Upon entering the territory of Yuanwu Kingdom, Lin Chuan slowed down, searching for the location of Tianxing Sect Marketplace according to the map and what he had heard.
While observing the customs and scenery of this neighboring country with a touch of curiosity.
From the ground view, the mountains, landforms, and vegetation types do not seem to be much different from those of the Yue Kingdom.
Yuanwu Kingdom was also a medium-sized country in this region.
However, its cultivation world structure is slightly different from the seven factions of Yue Kingdom, with righteous sects as the mainstream and demonic forces relatively hidden.
Currently in flight.
Lin Chuan suddenly felt the magical artifact beneath him suddenly stop, as if it had sunk into an invisible swamp. Then its spiritual light dimmed, and it seemed to be falling out of control!
"No-fly zone!"
Lin Chuan reacted extremely quickly, immediately calming his mind. A flash of spiritual light appeared around him, and he lightly landed on the ground.
Fortunately, he wasn't flying very high, and his landing was only a little rushed; he wasn't injured.
Since the anti-flight restriction has been triggered, a vast collection of Xianxia novels is available to satisfy your reading preferences. This indicates that there must be an important place ahead where cultivators gather, most likely a market town.
Lin Chuan put away his magical implements and walked forward on foot.
Sure enough, not far ahead, the seemingly ordinary mountain forest scenery suddenly rippled out like water, revealing a path shrouded in a light mist.
Passing through this illusionary array, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before us, revealing a bustling market town built against the mountain, lined with shops and teeming with people.
At the entrance to the market, the words "Tianxing" are carved on a huge rock.
It was a market town established by the Tianxing Sect.
Lin Chuan walked through the market, his eyes scanning the shop signs on both sides, searching for shops directly under the Tianxing Sect.
His purpose for this trip was clear: to purchase several sets of ready-made array plates and flags with decent power to quickly arm his new cave dwelling.
"Excuse me, senior, please wait a moment." A slightly ingratiating voice sounded beside me.
Lin Chuan turned his head.
He saw a middle-aged cultivator in his thirties, whose cultivation level was around the eighth or ninth level of Qi Refining, bowing to him with a smile on his face.
"My name is Wang Lin. I live here in Tianxing Market and know a little about the shops and goods. You look unfamiliar, so this must be your first time here. What are you looking for? Perhaps I can help you out and save you some trouble." The cultivator named Wang Lin spoke slowly and respectfully.
Lin Chuan glanced at him briefly and understood. This was most likely a "Feng Xingzi," a local cultivator who specialized in guiding visiting cultivators and introducing them to shops, earning a commission or percentage in return.
As long as the shops they recommend are reliable and the prices of their goods are reasonable, Lin Chuan wouldn't mind letting them earn a few spirit stones as a hard-earned profit.
"I want to purchase several sets of array equipment. The quality must be suitable for Foundation Establishment stage or above, and preferably they should be both defensive and capable of trapping enemies," Lin Chuan said frankly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He rubbed his hands together and explained with a slight apology:
"Senior, you are wise. Although the Tianxing Sect is famous for its array formations and its market sells the most complete range of array plates and flags, they will never sell the truly core and exquisite array formations to outsiders."
What can be bought are mostly common, reasonably powerful formations, but lacking any unique secrets or secrets—the kind of "common stuff." After all, easily selling off one's most prized formations, allowing others to thoroughly study and break them, would be extremely detrimental to the sect.
Lin Chuan nodded; he naturally knew all this. He hadn't expected to buy any earth-shattering ancient formations here.
His thinking was simple: if one set of formations might not be reliable enough, then buy several sets!
Layer upon layer of formations were laid out inside and outside the cave, with formations within formations. Even though they were all ordinary formations, the combined effect was enough to give intruders a headache and buy them enough time to react.
Just then, a name suddenly flashed through Lin Chuan's mind—Xin Ruyin.
As far as he knew, there was a genius female array master in the Yuanwu Kingdom named Xin Ruyin.
Although she appears to be only at the Qi Refining stage, her mastery of formations is astonishingly high.
It can even repair and improve strange formations such as the "Inverted Five Elements Formation," which can threaten cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage and even those who have reached the Core Formation stage.
In the original story, it seems that Han Li met her by chance several years later and obtained the incomplete Reversed Five Elements Array from her.
Now that we've moved back several years, Xin Ruyin must have been extremely young.
Not well-known.
But if we manage to find her, perhaps we'll have some unexpected gains?
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Lin Chuan asked Wang Lin, "You are well-informed in this area. Have you heard of someone? Her name is Xin Ruyin. She should be a woman. It is said that she has extremely high talent in the art of formations."
Wang Lin thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said definitively, "In response to your question, senior, I have been mingling in this market for quite some years and have made the acquaintances of several array masters and weapon refiners, but I have never heard of the name 'Xin Ruyin' before..."
Lin Chuan was not surprised to hear this.
It seems that Xin Ruyin has not yet made a name for herself in the cultivation world. Finding her in the vast sea of people by her name is like finding a needle in a haystack.
