Chapter 53: Hard to Find
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Cheng Xu reported the situation of the Demon Cultivator appearing in Floating Immortal City.
“Floating Immortal City?” Immortal Danyang frowned, “Strange… What is the Blood Demon Church doing? Floating Immortal City was located in the heart of Mini Southern Heaven. So what if they conquered it?”
At least from the logic of attacking cities and seizing land, it was meaningless for the demonic path to attack Floating Immortal City.
“I should only be lacking some materials, so I should go to Floating Immortal City to purchase them. But we can’t be negligent. It’s better to communicate with the various sects.” Immortal Danyang muttered.
“Oh right, this disciple heard that there is a very powerful rogue Cultivator in Floating Immortal City?” Cheng Xu asked suddenly.
“That’s right. Senior Fu Yunzi of Floating Immortal City is considered the number one itinerant Cultivator in our Little Southern Heaven. When he was in seclusion a year ago, he was already a Peak Golden Core Cultivator.”
Damn, he was already a peak Golden Stage Cultivator just sixty years ago.
So Little Nantian was hiding such a fierce person?
“Do you think there is a possibility that Senior Fu Yunzi has some relationship with the Demons, similar to Yuntai Zhenren?” Cheng Xu guessed.
“Impossible,” Immortal Danyang waved his hand and smiled. “It might be possible for other rogue Cultivators, but it’s impossible for Senior Fu Yunzi.”
“Oh, why is that?”
Immortal Danyang pretended to be mysterious and smiled without saying a word.
“Senior Fu Yunzi used to be a genius disciple of the Yunzhong Sect,” Tang Xuan said. “He was expelled from the Yunzhong Sect for some special reasons. He has always been in secret contact with the Yunzhong Sect. According to seniority, he can be considered the Youngest Uncle of the Taoist Master of Cloud Sect.”
Cheng Xu was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that the big shot of Floating Immortal City was actually an abandoned disciple of Yunzhong Sect.
‘Wasn’t this his script?’
“From a certain point of view, I’m in the same boat as you, Little Cheng. Haha!” Immortal Danyang teased.
“May I ask why Senior Fu Yunzi was expelled from the Yunzhong Sect?
“I’m not too sure about the details, but from what your grandmaster said back then, it seems to be related to the fight for the position of the previous sect master of the Yunzhong Sect. It seems that he helped the master of the Taoist Master of Cloud Step to take the blame. Anyway, after the previous sect master of the Yunzhong Sect took the throne, he wanted to welcome Senior Fu Yunzi back to the Yunzhong Sect more than once, but unfortunately, he was rejected by the elders many times.”
Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder when he heard that. He didn’t expect the Yunzhong Sect to have such a past.
From the looks of it, Fu Yunzi was indeed unlikely to have any connection to the demonic path, but it could not be too absolute.
After all, Fu Yunzi had not been able to return to the Yunzhong Sect successfully, which left a hidden danger for the whole matter.
“I hope this disciple is worrying too much.” Cheng Xu reminded him.
Immortal Danyang naturally understood. “As the saying goes, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Your worries are not without reason. Uncle Master will discuss it with the sect leaders of the various sects. You can go back and recuperate in peace.”
Cheng Xu, who had returned to his cave abode, immediately consumed a True Essence Pill and activated the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye to absorb the extra spiritual energy.
He cultivated while making talismans and Array Disks.
While Cheng Xu was making the talismans and Array Disks, the Jian Chamber of Commerce in Floating Immortal City was filled with guests.
Many cultivators who studied Array formations came because of its fame, just to obtain a set of super array disks with the signature of [Alpha Dog].
“I say, shopkeeper, when will my Array Disk arrive?”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.”
“If my offer is not enough, you can just say it. As long as you can get the dog tag Array Disk, it’s fine to add some money.”
The shopkeeper could only try his best to calm everyone down. “Fellow Daoists, please calm down. Everyone should know how troublesome it is to refine Array Disks. We are also trying our best to negotiate with that master. We will inform everyone as soon as the goods arrive.”
Hearing the shopkeeper’s promise, the cultivators in the shop finally stopped.
However, many passers-by cultivators expressed their doubts.
“What’s going on?”
“Fellow Daoist, you might not know this, but a few days ago, the Jian Chamber of Commerce launched a multi-purpose Array Disk. Unfortunately, there were too few of them and they were sold out long ago.”
“Multi-purpose Array Disk?” The cultivator said in surprise, “Isn’t that the exclusive technique of the Scorching Sun Sect?”
“What? The Jian Chamber of Commerce has reached an agreement with the Scorching Sun Sect?”
No, no, no. It’s a multi-purpose Array Disk that’s even more powerful than the Scorching Sun Sect’s Array disk?”
“Really?” The passersby were skeptical. “The Array Disks of the Scorching Sun Sect are powerful enough. How can there be better Array Disks?”
“Why would I lie to you? Can’t you see that so many people are waiting?”
“Did the Jian Chamber of Commerce ask for help?”
Seeing that the passers-by suspected that they were acting as a decoy, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in the crowd who was waiting in line for goods was instantly unhappy.
He directly took out a brand new array disc in front of everyone. On the Array Disk was engraved the signature of [Alpha Dog].
“Look, it’s a dog tag Array Disk!”
“It looks real. It’s exactly the same as my friend’s.”
“When did Fellow Daoist buy it?
H
“To be honest, I bought this set of Array Disks because of Master Yuan’s recommendation. It was only after 1 went back and used it that I realized how powerful it was. Unfortunately, when I wanted to buy a second set, the Array Disks were sold out. To tell you the truth, the so-called multi-purpose Array Disks of the Scorching Sun Sect are nothing compared to this!”
ii
Uh, isn’t Fellow Daoist going a little too far? This Array Disk seemed to be compatible with a few more level 1 and level 2 formations than the Scorching Sun Sect’s Array Disk, right?”
“Ohh? I think I’ve gone too far! Humph!” The Building Foundation Stage Cultivator snorted. “According to my personal experience, this Array Disk is not as simple as the Array Disk of the Scorching Sun Sect that has almost ten more Array formations.”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd expressed their doubts.
“Everyone, look!”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled and took out all kinds of array needles on the spot. He weaved a simple level one array on the Array Disk on the spot.
“What?” The crowd was confused. “Isn’t this just a simple level 1 Formation Array?”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator laughed inwardly, “Then everyone, watch again!”
As he spoke, he pulled out more than ten array needles from the air and adjusted the position and depth of the array needles. The Array Disk once again emitted the energy fluctuations of the formation.
“This, this, this… Water Repelling Formation?”
“What’s going on? Just by moving a few array needles, it turned from a defensive array to a water-proof array?”
The cultivators present who understood formations quickly realized the crux of the matter.
“Fellow Daoist’s meaning is as long as you select two types of formations, overlap them, change formations, assemble them, you don’t need to change them?”
“Looks like there are still people who know what they’re doing!” The
Foundation Establishment Cultivator nodded and smiled.”
Someone in the crowd quickly raised a question, “Can’t the Scorching Sun Sect’s Array Disk work this way?”
“Haha.” The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled but didn’t say anything.
Then, the users of the Scorching Sun Sect’s Array Disks took out their own Array Disks and started to try.
The results were all the same. When changing the structure of the formation, all the formation needles had to be pulled out before they could be used to re-construct another formation. As long as there was a formation needle left on the formation plate, it would not be able to successfully construct a second formation.
For a moment, the crowd gasped.
Even cultivators who did not understand array formations could see how big the difference was.
“Good heavens, which master is so powerful to be able to design and forge such a powerful formation plate?”
“I feel that after familiarizing myself with it, 1 can even change the array formation in battle!”
“Don’t say, fellow Daoist’s idea is indeed feasible.”
“Tsk, I’m afraid the Scorching Sun Sect is going to panic this time!”
“That’s not right, fellow Daoist. You’ve already bought a set of Array Disks. Why do you want to buy a second set?”
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator smiled subtly. “Isn’t it because I want to buy a set for my companion?”
“That’s right? There are so many of them, but they are yet to touch the formation plate.”
The shopkeeper and the shop assistants were busy until late at night before they finally managed to send the cultivators away.
Just when they thought they could relax, a girl with a cold expression walked in.
“Miss?” Shopkeeper Niu turned pale with fright and hurriedly went forward to welcome her. “Why are you here?”
“Father has already told me about the Array Disk.” Jian Yuxiang walked to the inner hall with familiarity and said with a serious expression. “He couldn’t get away and was afraid of neglecting the master, so he asked me to be in charge of the negotiations.”
Shopkeeper Niu nodded in understanding. As he poured tea for Jian Yuxiang, he explained the grand occasion of the store over the past two days.
Jian Yuxiang clicked her tongue in wonder and nodded. She frowned and asked, “Any reaction from the Scorching Sun Sect?”
“Not yet. According to my observation,” Niu Zhangguan said, “many of the guests who came to ask about the Array Disk are from the Scorching Sun Sect.”
“What about that master? Have you found any clues?”
“This… If I investigate rashly, I’m afraid it will cause the master to be unhappy, so 1 don’t dare to act rashly.”
Jian Yuxiang nodded. “It’s indeed not good to be too rash in this matter. By the way, did that master’s disciple say when he would come again?”
“No, but it should be in the next few days.”
“I hope so.” Jian Yuxiang sighed softly..
