After asking the question, Jia Xitong regretted it somewhat.

Although this senior Bai Yu is kind and easy to talk to, the art of array formations is, after all, his unique skill. Can this skill be taught to just anyone?

"It's okay if it's inconvenient for you; I'll just say a few words."

"You have a thirst for knowledge, that's good."

When their voices came out at the same time, Jia Xitong was stunned for a moment.

"real?"

It's like a pie falling from the sky, making it hard to believe for a moment.

"All things in the world can be learned and improved upon through study."

Master Baiyu's gentle voice came through the transmission talisman, "Therefore, this cannot be considered preaching, but rather an exchange between cultivators to make progress together."

"Thank you, seniors."

Upon hearing this, the raccoon became excited. This Master Bai Yu's vision was truly extraordinary.

In the following days, Jia Xitong would have long phone conversations with the other party at a fixed time every day.

They chatted for an hour, and even though Shang Yanting was cultivating, he had bumped into them several times.

Who is Bai Yu Zhenren?

Worried that this person might have ulterior motives, he specifically asked Huo Rui to investigate.

Yimeng Academy and Dingtian Academy are similar in nature and status, but the academy only has one dean and four elders. Bai Yu Zhenjun is one of the elders.

This person is now 367 years old and possesses the strength of a peak Martial King.

He was the most learned among the cultivators, and at the same time, he was kind and benevolent, which made him admired and respected by many cultivators.

When Shang Yanting heard that during his breakthrough to the Martial King realm, due to some reason, his appearance and body had aged to the point of looking like an eighty or ninety-year-old man, his sense of crisis towards this person lessened considerably.

Let's chat then.

He glanced at the thick notes that Xitong had taken after communicating with Baiyu Zhenjun, and knew that she hadn't played either.

Jia Xitong didn't just not play; she learned a lot about formations from Bai Yu Zhenjun. At first, it was just the two of them chatting, but later Hu Changxiu joined in.

Later, Hu Changxiu and Baiyu Zhenjun talked in such depth that she could no longer understand them.

but……

The formation tailored for the twenty senior brothers is showing signs of success!

"Fellow Daoist Tongtong, you are truly amazing!"

Hu Changxiu had considered seeking guidance from teachers before, but either the people around him were at a similar level, or the teachers who were more skilled than him were unwilling to teach. Xi Tong had actually managed to invite a master of formations to answer his questions, and the insights he gained from their exchanges over the past few days were more than he had gained from reading books for several years.

"Well, it's mainly because Senior Bai Yu is selfless and tireless in his teaching."

Jia Xitong praised the other person again.

now

Jia Xitong had some basic knowledge of array formations, and she could roughly understand the array formation drawn by Hu Changxiu.

The formation that Hu Changxiu designed this time came from a remnant of a killing formation.

Perhaps influenced by Bai Yu Zhenjun, this formation also summons a powerful beast soul.

Jia Xitong couldn't help but shake her head when she saw the formation he had designed.

Hu Changxiu thought she was complaining that the formation was too weak, so he explained, "After all, I don't have the ability of a True Monarch. The strength of my Beast Soul can only reach the middle to mid-stage of Martial Grandmaster at most."

"A mid-stage Martial Grandmaster is quite formidable."

That's not what Jia Xitong is worried about.

As someone who had once clashed head-on with a humanoid formation, she knew all too well the drawbacks of this kind of formation. "Those twenty people standing there are like pillars. Let alone a Martial Grandmaster, even a cultivator with only the strength of a Martial Spirit, as long as they withstand a round of attacks, once they get close to them, they are like targets to be practiced at will."

Teacher Tong shook his head and gave the design a failing grade. "Teacher Hu, please think about it again."

Hu Changxiu looked at her in silence.

He couldn't figure it out.

"I really don't know how to create a formation that can summon ferocious beasts to fight for them, and also allow them to flexibly fight against the enemy in pairs."

Fellow Daoist Tongtong, what do you think?

She...she was standing and watching?

Jia Xitong felt somewhat embarrassed when asked the question.

I only learned a little bit from listening to the teacher's lectures.

She's good at finding fault, but not at getting things done. (cascoo.net)

Jia Xitong placed her right foot behind her, her toes awkwardly touching the ground.

There was a brief silence in the room.

"Teacher Hu, we have a total of twenty senior brothers. Is it possible to have half of them enter the formation and the other half roam around? Or could we design a formation that can be stacked?"

Jia Xitong offered her idea with a try-it-out mentality.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Hu frowned even more deeply, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, yes, yes! How come I didn't think of that before?"

Ah, this...

Jia Xitong was startled, thinking he was going to say no.

"Great idea! I'll try my best."

Teacher Tong and Teacher Hu's plan to manually upgrade twenty senior students is in full swing.

On the other side

Wan Qijing was extremely eager for revenge. Although she was summoned by Wan Qiyi for a talk, it did not affect her desire to take revenge on the person who killed her child, even at any cost.

According to the investigators, although Huang Zhiping killed most of her men, her Yun'er still died at the hands of the Xianlong Peak people. The thought of Xianlong Peak kept her awake at night.

Destroying Xianlong Peak is imperative.

"Clan leader, the Dean requests your presence."

A boy knocked on the door and reported in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Wan Qijing covered up the plan written on the table and followed him with a sullen face.

Shiming Peak.

It means that it begins here and has a bright future.

It is Wanqiyi's mountain peak.

As one of the four deans, his mountain was so beautiful that there was a spiritual plant every three steps and a spiritual treasure every five steps. Even a casual ornament was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones.

It can be said that all the wealth of the Wanqi clan is gathered at Shiming Peak.

However, those inside the peak were already used to it.

Wanqi Jing followed the boy into the inner hall, looked at the middle-aged man sitting above, and bowed humbly to him, "Long live Your Majesty!"

"Ah Jing, you said the matter of the dragon scales would be settled soon, is there any news yet?"

Wan Qiyi inquired.

Wan Qijing: "Your Majesty, Xianlong Peak is heavily guarded. I have no capable men under my command. If Your Majesty can help, I believe that the dragon scales will be obtained in due time."

Wan Qiyi: "Why bother going to Xianlong Peak? Don't you know that Zhenyuan Peak also has dragon scales?"

Wan Qijing knew more than just that.

People from Xianlong Peak would secretly and furtively give gifts.

The spies that the Wanqi clan had placed on Zhenyuan Peak had already informed her, so there was no need for him to explain.

“Your Excellency, I believe that Xianlong Peak is cunning and this matter is most likely a trap.”

She replied, "Dragon scales are legendary items. Even if Yan Qing's beast had them, he wouldn't be willing to keep them and give them away."

"Really? Are you aware that Huang Zhiping is currently selecting people capable of refining magical artifacts?"

If he didn't have dragon scales, what would be the point of refining his natal magic weapon?

Wan Qiyi looked at her; her actions since Pu Yun's death had displeased him.
