Chapter 186: Effects of the Array, Third Senior Brother
The beaver looked sharply and cautiously at this clearly "ill-intentioned" fellow, but it wasn't afraid.
Not to mention, the beavers knew this was Li Ye's senior.
Gathered at their home in Weichuan, if they teamed up to perform magic, the power could even reach the level of the Golden Core Period.
Let alone the attention of the Weichuan Deity.
Trying to bully beavers in Weichuan is as difficult as giving an Inner Sect Disciple a slap in the sect's main hall.
"Don't!"
True Man Bai Shi hurriedly waved his hand, a smile plastered on his face, "Have a few young friends considered coming under my tutelage to learn the art of Artifact Refining? I also have a Secret Technique taught by my Nascent Soul master.
Even Uncle Master Su Xing learned this method."
As he spoke, he beckoned.
"Whoosh——"
A wooden stick flew from not far away, which was the most basic First Tier Spiritual Material, seemingly ordinary, but in his hands, it changed shapes like soft clay.
A gentle ocean-blue flame enveloped the stick, imprinting several patterns unique to Magical Artifacts on it.
In the blink of an eye, an exquisite small wooden cup was refined, with patterns inside and out emitting a rising chill.
True Man Bai Shi directly used it to chill a cup of fine wine.
"Here, taste it."
The True Man handed the cup to the beaver with a full smile; the delicate little cup even had a handle suited to a beaver's paw.
"!"
The beaver stared at the small cup of fine wine, eyes fixed.
Just as he finished setting up the array, Li Ye saw this scene, his mouth twitching slightly; Uncle Master Bai Shi truly knows how to cater to preferences.
These little fellows do have a penchant for tasting.
If Uncle Master truly wishes to teach the beavers the art of Artifact Refining, it would actually be a good thing; this talent, if properly learned, might bring some surprises.
Previously, he had also sought some Artifact Refining tomes, but the beavers weren't very interested, so even though he knew they had the talent, he didn't force them to learn.
No way, Li Ye was just too indulgent towards them.
"Nephew!"
Li Ye hadn't had time to greet when Su Yu first spoke, unable to conceal his smile: "Earlier, I didn't get the chance to thank you, nephew, for helping my incompetent brother through the Celestial Tribulation."
"No need, no need."
"It was Senior Brother Su who was truly thickly accumulated and thinly released, thanks to whom I gained more insight into the Celestial Tribulation."
It's okay to say the brother is incompetent, but following suit would be too foolish, not the time for jokes either.
After flattering a bit, Li Ye worried the True Men might bring up Tribulation Crossing again, quickly changing the subject.
"Uncle Master Bai, how about setting aside the issue of the beavers for now, and discussing it later?"
Then he cupped his hands towards the various Uncle Masters:
"The array here is basically completed per Uncle Master Lu's plan, and as your nephew, I shamelessly invite the True Men to personally experience this array, alright?"
The True Men were indeed curious, after all, this was considered an entirely new array, and it used a Spirit Beast never seen before. Its effectiveness was something they eagerly anticipated.
"How does this array work?"
"I believe it's related to Qi Fortune. Junior Brother Lu, can this Qi Fortune Shining Gold truly be converted through these... Turtle Spirit Gourds?"
"If it can be used, then the cost of Qi Fortune Shining Gold must be considerable. Senior Brother Lu, could this be some unusual skill?"
Just now expressing kind words to Li Ye, the True Men suddenly turned the focus to True Man Lu, bombarding him with a series of sharp questions.
Fortunately, True Man Lu was long accustomed to this noisy mode.
Moreover, this Qi Fortune array using Spirit Turtles and Gourds along with Qi Fortune Shining Gold was not unheard of in the Four Seasons Sect, but the cost was excessively high.
Therefore, even after so long, such arrays only existed in limited hundreds of places.
Yet because of this, True Man Lu decided firmly to choose this array as his research direction.
If costs can truly be reduced, it would benefit the Four Seasons Sect.
Difficult but beneficial to the sect.
"Everyone, senior brothers and sisters, don't be hasty. Listen as I explain it slowly!"
"Come, come!"
With that, the True Men followed True Man Lu to discuss further.
Li Ye, meanwhile, led Wang Kang and several senior brothers to initiate the array, guiding other disciples along with the beavers inside.
Among them, a cultivator with fair skin and a slightly mischievous smile led a beaver and naturally approached Li Ye.
"Junior Brother."
"I just arrived here and don't know how to use this array. Could I trouble you to show me?"
Naturally, he cupped his hands, exuding an unspeakable elegance.
Li Ye assessed this Golden Core cultivator, feeling some familiarity, the aura on this person... reminiscent of "Nine Songs Mountain Ghost."
Might it be his third or fourth senior brother, whom he hadn't met yet?
Since he wished to pretend not to know each other, Li Ye didn't expose him, smiled, "Of course."
"May I ask how Senior Brother is addressed?"
"My surname is Chen."
"So it's Senior Brother Chen, please follow me."
He naturally led Senior Brother into the array. The array here was built with eighty-one Turtle Spirit Gourds as the base, coupled with eighty-one taels of Qi Fortune Shining Gold, along with some Spiritual Materials.
Inside were also portrayed space Array Patterns.
So from outside, it seemed like a hut surrounded by Gourd Vines, but inside it held a Grotto Heaven.
Upon truly entering the array, Senior Brother Chen immediately felt a unique aura surrounding him, with shimmering blue Gourd Vines hanging gourds engraved with golden patterns.
