Chapter 298: Vast Wintry Shrine
Now, this Master will teach you how to refine an array. Look carefully: this is just a small array. Its really not that complex, but all the principles are the same.
Venerable Yuan spoke while taking out a Refine Array Stone and another strange item.
This item resembled an alchemy furnace, but its aura was clearly distinct.
This is called a refine array furnace. It somewhat resembles an alchemy furnace, but its internal structure is totally different.
Venerable Yuan explained: This plate above the refine array furnace is an array plate. All arrays will be set up on this plate. Dont look at how small it is. In fact, it is a completely different world. Try to inject your soul power into it.
Ling Xiao followed the instructions and discovered a vast space.
See? The size of this space can be adjusted, including its environment. It changes according to the size of your magic array and formation. Naturally, the grade of this Masters refine array furnace is relatively high, so the limit of the changes is also relatively great. Ordinary refine array furnaces can only accommodate a large city at most or the size of a pinpoint at their least.
Venerable Yuan continued: The arrangement on the array plate is in accordance with ordinary magic arrays and formations. You should understand this. Hopefully, you didnt study those books in vain.
Ling Xiao nodded.
Okay, the next step is the crux. The process of a refine array is very similar to the alchemy process. It also needs fire control. Merely, you need some special incantations that are different for each formation. You must remember them well.
While speaking, Venerable Yuan directly threw a book at Ling Xiao and added: This is <Refine Array Incantation Collection>, take it back and memorize it!
Afterward, he personally gave Ling Xiao a demonstration of how to use a refine array.
Like alchemy, the first step was to choose ones materials.
The second step was quite different. In alchemy, the second step was to make raw pills, whereas, when refining arrays, it was to arrange a magic array or formation.
The third step was ignition, which was the same.
The fourth step for both was fire control. Merely, alchemy didnt need a chanting incantation, but arrays did.
The fifth step was to open the furnace. This step had no difference. Merely, alchemy would produce pills, and refine arrays would produce either smelting formations or Refine Array Stones.
Ling Xiao explained the steps to Venerable Yuan.
Its more or less correct. Merely, you misunderstood the fourth step. During alchemy, although most dont need to chant incantations, there are some pills with special effects that do. After these pills are refined, there will be special inscriptions on them.
Venerable Yuan seriously said: Its just that you havent reached that level, so you dont need to think about it for the time being. It wont be too late to learn it when you can refine earth-grade spirit pills.
This disciple understands.
Okay, the process of refine arrays is roughly like that. Practice well. I will give you this Fire Snake Array Stone.
Venerable Yuan gave the Refine Array Stone he had refined to Ling Xiao.
This Fire Snake Array is very simple. When used in battle, at most 99 fire snakes can be summoned to help a martial artist. The strength and attack power of the Fire Snake Array depend on the materials used. This Fire Snake Array Stone is an unqualified Refine Array Stone refined using just unqualified materials; therefore, the attack power of each fire snake is equivalent to an Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artist. Moreover, it can only summon ten fire snakes at most.
Venerable Yuan said this as if it wasnt a big deal, but Ling Xiao was stupefied.
Just a stone was actually equivalent to ten Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein martial artists?
If such a thing appeared in the secular world, wouldnt it be a treasure that could trigger a bloody storm?
Okay, you can go back. If you can memorize the entire <Refine Array Incantation Collection> and refine a Fire Snake Refine Array Stone by yourself, then this Master will help you achieve a wish!
Venerable Yuan said with a smile.
Heh heh, Master, I want to use Moonlight Sects Vast Wintry Shrine. Is that possible?
Ling Xiao had already investigated it. Vast Wintry Shrine was a treasured ground of the Moonlight Sect. The cold qi of that place was very helpful for defensive martial arts; moreover, it was also very helpful in advancing ones cultivation base.
At present, he was still far from the Transcendent Realm.
However, if <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> broke through to the fifth layer, his physical body would reach the Transcendent Realm. At that time, even if his cultivation base hadnt stepped into the Transcendent Realm, he wouldnt need to be afraid of experts below Rank Three Transcendent Realm.
At the least, he wouldnt be killed instantly. Moreover, he also wouldnt be miserable like before when he had run into Hei Suo in Hollow Cloud City. At that time, he could only use tricks to escape.
Hahaha, you are truly clever! You actually know about Vast Wintry Shrine.
Yang Danlin laughed heartily and said: Old friend, he has given you a difficult problem.
What difficult problem? The one in charge of Vast Wintry Hall is Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy. Didnt she always want you to help her refine a pill? Agree to her request on the condition of allowing Ling Xiao to enter Vast Wintry Shrine. Then, you can refine the pill after she prepares the materials.
Venerable Yuan cursed.
Heh heh, that also works.
Yang Danlin was dumbfounded. What Venerable Yuan said was truly correct.
Dont look at how that fairy celestial worthy of Vast Wintry Hall was cold and ruthless: she also needed pills to improve her strength.
Moreover, allowing Ling Xiao to enter Vast Wintry Hall to cultivate was not against the Moonlight Sects rules. The rule just stipulated that any Inner Elder level person could recommend a talented youth to enter the Vast Wintry Hall.
Yang Danlin was not an Inner Elder, but his status was equal to those Inner Elders or even higher.
It was not a problem for him to recommend Ling Xiao.
However, it was one thing to recommend them, and another thing to make that unapproachable Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy agree.
Recently, Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy had conflicted with Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy over this matter. However, Demonic Flame seemed to have eaten a loss. In the end, he had had to pay a large number of high-grade spirit stones to let Ming Tian go in and cultivate for a period.
Naturally, it was easy for Yang Danlin to do things that Demonic Flame couldnt do.
All right, I promise you. If you can do what Master Venerable Yuan said, this old man will give up his old face and ask Vast Wintry Celestial Worthy.
Yang Danlin said with a smile.
Many thanks, Master! Many thanks, Senior!
Originally, Ling Xiao had just mentioned it casually without much hope. However, beyond his expectations, these two old men had actually agreed. It seemed that his experience and knowledge were still too shallow.
Why are you thanking us? Since you have already worshipped me as your Master, giving you some benefits is natural. You dont need to worry about the matters of the Medicine Hall, just concentrate on refining the Fire Snake Array Stone.
Venerable Yuan yawned. This Master is going to sleep.
Ling Xiao bade farewell to Venerable Yuan and Yang Danlin, before returning to his cave dwelling.
He already had a basic understanding of magic arrays and formations. In order words, unqualified magic arrays and formations were not a problem for him.
The next key step was to refine an array.
Naturally, before refining arrays, he must memorize the <Refine Array Incantation Collection> first.
However, when he memorized it, he realized that it was not that easy.
