I Have a Compass for Opportunity

If trapped within an array, breaking it skillfully is much easier than breaking it with force.

Moreover, an Array Master is a highly esteemed guest among various sects.

To Yi Qingyue, finding an Array Master comparable to Zhuang Rui Ze is more reassuring than acquiring a powerful team member.

"Let’s go visit Junior Brother Liou Yuan," Yi Qingyue suggested enthusiastically, pulling Jia Panshan along as she headed towards the courtyard, wanting to get closer to Liou Yuan.

Who knew, when they stopped in front of Liou Yuan’s door, they saw a ’Do Not Disturb’ wooden sign hanging.

"Setting up an array is extremely exhausting, Junior Sister Qingyue, it’s better to let Junior Brother Liou Yuan rest,"

Jia Panshan glanced at Yi Qingyue, shook his head, and left, showing no intention of knocking on the door.

Having personally experienced Liou Yuan’s array skills, Jia Panshan is now apprehensive of him, fearing there might be arrays inside the room as well.

Yi Qingyue pouted, but could only leave in disappointment.

The appearance of the two at the door was seen by Liou Yuan’s pair of evil eyes.

Until they left, Liou Yuan didn’t utter a word.

In fact, arranging this Cold River Illusionary Water Array was not very taxing for him; he could have easily gone out to welcome them.

"With time to get close to colleagues from the Wind Chasing Division, there’s no rush for now. I’d better refine that Geng Metal Spiritual Qi quickly and aim for the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible,"

Liou Yuan muttered softly, his expression calm, without thinking there was anything amiss in his actions.

With Sect Leader Xuanyi in seclusion for decades, the Demon Cultivators in the Linlang Domain are stirring again, and more than one Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator has appeared in the Jin Dynasty and Jiuli State.

The Five Extremes Mountain fronts the Jin Dynasty and backs the Jiuli State, as a disciple of the Five Extremes Mountain, future conflicts with Demon Cultivators are inevitable.

Encountering Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators by bad luck would make survival difficult, especially with only Qi Cultivation Realm cultivation, so Liou Yuan is now filled with a strong sense of crisis.

Everything other than breakthrough in cultivation is trivial and can be put aside.

In his contemplation, Liou Yuan slowly closed his eyes, beginning to extract a wisp of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi from the Treasure Bottle Seal within his body to refine.

The familiar pain swept through his entire body, Liou Yuan’s face turned pale, enduring the intense pain, he slowly wrapped the Geng Metal Spiritual Qi with Spiritual Power and began refining it.

The ’Geng Metal Refining Form Skill’ states, one wisp per day, one section every ten days, and mastery in a hundred days.

Relying on the powerful physique of the Bone Casting Realm, Liou Yuan kept the refinement to two wisps per day, which he believed was the maximum he could refine without harming his body.

In other words, he would only need fifty days to gain entry to this ’Geng Metal Refining Form Skill.’

He had already refined two sections of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi, with eight sections remaining, and Liou Yuan planned to take forty days to fully refine them.

This timeframe is inflexible.

While Liou Yuan was immersed in cultivation,

the three Qingxiao Sect disciples rescued by Liou Yuan with the Cold River Illusionary Water Array found Bu Moying, who was recuperating on the back mountain of Qingxiao Sect, immediately after the Demon Cultivators were repelled.

The three vividly recounted how powerful Liou Yuan’s arrays were, and how he played the two Demon Cultivators in the palm of his hand.

In the end, the Qingxiao Sect disciple at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation asked Bu Moying with a face full of expectation: "Mr. Bu, this person’s array cultivation is extraordinary, even a casually set up Illusion Array can toy with those at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, and even those in the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation cannot escape once inside."

"Why not ask him to help us repair the Star Shining Celestial Array?"

The Qingxiao Sect disciple at the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation named Ni Yang, astonished by Liou Yuan’s array might, had the initial reaction of horror.

Knowing that less than two days passed from the time the Wind Chasing Division entered the city to the attack by Demon Cultivators, and the inscrutable Five Extremes Mountain disciple could set up an array to toy with Demon Cultivators,

such array prowess could not be found among the Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators of the Qingxiao Sect.

The second thought was whether the array-savvy Five Extremes Mountain disciple could repair their Mountain Protection Array.

Spending two days to set up an Illusion Array at the peak of Qi Cultivation might mean there’s a possibility to repair the Foundation Establishment Array.

"Is this true?" Bu Moying had been adjusting his energy on the Master’s Chair, but upon hearing Ni Yang’s detailed account, a pleased expression appeared on his usually cold face, and he stood up from the chair.

Since the Mountain Protection Array was broken, the casualties among Qingxiao Sect and the townspeople have only increased.

Qingxiao Sect was originally a second-rate sect, seeing that three in Foundation Establishment died with one, one is severely injured, and the sect leader is in seclusion and hasn’t come out,

if Qingxiao Sect’s Qi Cultivation disciples continued to die at this rate, Qingxiao Sect risks becoming a third-rate sect.

At this time, having an Array Master capable of potentially repairing the Mountain Protection Array is nothing short of providing help in a dire situation.

"The Foundation Establishment Array is no small matter; it’s not something easily repaired by a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, it’s still necessary to see the arrays he set up first before making any decisions,"

Bu Moying’s experience surpassed that of the ordinary disciples of Qingxiao Sect, and after a brief contemplation, he regained his composure.

With that, Bu Moying asked Ni Yang to lead the way as he intended to personally see the Array Master who set up a peak Qi Cultivation Illusion Array in less than two days.

When Liou Yuan exited his cultivation, it was already late at night.

The two wisps of Geng Metal Spiritual Qi for the day had been completely refined, and as more and more Geng Metal Spiritual Qi merged into his flesh and bones,

his entire aura became sharper; as he stood from his seated position, a simple motion resembled a sword being drawn, with a sharp aura unconsciously spreading out, leaving marks akin to sword slashes on the bed where he had been sitting.
