Returning to the clan through grass?
That happened back then!
However, to be fair, Ye Feng's introduction to array formations was indeed due to the array formation manual of the Grass Return Sect.
The initial formations were largely the same, but the opponent immediately discerned his lineage...
"Are you also a disciple of the Grass Return Sect?"
Saying "also" doesn't seem quite accurate. Strictly speaking, I was an enemy of the Cao Huan clan, and everything was stolen.
The middle-aged man nodded, then asked again.
"Which lineage do you belong to?"
"Um... Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, but I am actually not a disciple of the Grass Return Sect..."
Now that Ye Feng possessed the strength to feign weakness, he no longer needed to pretend. He then spoke frankly, revealing a sect leader's token in his personal storage space, which he retrieved and tossed to the other party.
"Actually, I found the secret manual, and I also sold the Foundation Building Fruit Tree."
The other party looked slightly disappointed, took the token and examined it.
"So you're from the sect leader's lineage... May I ask where you got this token?"
As he said this, the other person's demeanor suddenly changed, and he looked sharply at Ye Feng.
The surrounding formations instantly converged on this side, lingering outside Ye Feng's formation, watching him intently.
Another chamber of commerce manager!
Moreover, the opponent could manipulate the formation without even needing hand gestures; it was done with a single thought.
This is!
The person who orchestrated the event for the Chamber of Commerce!
However, Ye Feng was not afraid at all. Both were level four formations, and even if the opponent had a deeper understanding of them and their formation was larger and more complete, he was not afraid.
But getting him out of the shop wouldn't be a problem at all.
Once outside, even if the enemy mobilizes a large formation,
With the Thousand Illusion Sword, he was not someone to be slaughtered at will.
If a battle breaks out, the losses will be incalculable.
Ye Feng believed that the other party would never go to such lengths!
"This token! It was passed down to me by my father!"
Ye Feng spoke casually, but his expression was fixed intently on the other person.
As long as the opponent makes the slightest move, I am confident that I can kill him eight or ten times over, thanks to the time bought by the formation!
Tenth level of the Golden Core stage, that's all!
The two were silent for a moment,
Suddenly, the surrounding formations dissipated.
The middle-aged man tossed the token back, his sword pointing upwards.
"Cheng Tianyang from the Array Dao Department of the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce Alliance greets fellow Daoist!"
"The rogue cultivator, Wang Lin!"
Ye Feng accepted the token and returned the greeting with equal solemnity.
Cheng Tianyang smiled.
"I heard from Elder Li that a formation genius from the ancient Nine Palaces Sect arrived at Han Island. Seeing an opportunity, he came to visit... I never expected you to be a descendant of the Grass Return Sect..."
Nine Palaces Gate.....
Ye Feng touched his nose, unable to respond.
Before Ye Feng could speak, Cheng Tianyang continued, his words tinged with regret and emotion.
"Back then, our sect leader studied blood arrays, hoping to break through to the fourth level of array master. However, he was besieged by many sects, the sect collapsed, and he himself perished... But who would have thought that a hundred years later, someone would actually be able to reach the fourth level by relying on the orthodox inheritance of the Grass Return Sect..."
Cheng Tianyang's gaze towards Ye Feng shone with a gleam.
"To set up a level four formation with only Foundation Establishment cultivation... If only the sect could have found a disciple like you back then!"
Ye Feng rolled his eyes; the aura conjured by this illusionary sword was practically negligible.
Anyone can see through it.
Of course, the other party must have used their access to the formation and observed us beforehand.
"The array you set up is entirely composed of the basic arrays of the Grass Return Sect. It's unbelievable that you can reach level four with just this knowledge of arrays... You must be under fifty years old, right?"
Ye Feng nodded. To be precise, he was a little short of twenty-five.
"I'd like to give you a gift for your new store opening!"
so good?
Cheng Tianyang reached into his robes and took out a small booklet.
"These are some insights I've gained from studying formations over the years, and I hope they will be helpful to you."
Ye Feng took it; the booklet had the four large characters "草还密录" (Grass Remnant Secret Record) written on the front.
Upon opening it, I found that the array formation theories recorded inside were actually above level four.
"I'm not grass..."
"It doesn't matter what sect they belong to. I just hope that these things can be used by someone else, and it just so happens that I've run into you, a genius in array formations. That's all!"
Cheng Tianyang left as soon as he finished speaking, as if he had only come to deliver something, without saying a word about recruiting or soliciting anyone.
"etc!"
Ye Feng stepped forward and called out to Cheng Tianyang.
"I cannot accept a reward without merit. I will give you this Nascent Soul Fruit; it may be of use to you!"
Cheng Tianyang's face showed surprise. He did not expect that Ye Feng not only had a treasure that could disguise his aura, but also a Nascent Soul Fruit that was strictly sealed by the upper sect.
"I have no need for this. When I fled the sect, my soul was injured. It's already a miracle that I've survived for a hundred years. There's no chance of me advancing to the Nascent Soul stage anymore!"
After saying that, he turned and left, completely disregarding the Nascent Soul Fruit.
"If you find this useful, then consider it a favor you owe me! Perhaps one day I'll need your help, and I hope you won't refuse me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared through the doorway.
However, Ye Feng wouldn't accept moral blackmail. "I gave you the things; you didn't want them yourself."
Favors and personal connections are the hardest things to price!
However, Ye Feng's situation does have clear value...
Just by looking at the first page of the herb book, the upgrade price on the advancement panel actually jumped slightly.
The price of a level 5 array master has increased from 100 billion to 99 billion...
He had previously inquired with the system, and under normal circumstances, even if he advanced his spiritual root to the Dao Body level, the requirements for upgrading to other ranks such as Array Master would not change.
The adjustment will only be made during another system upgrade.
But now, it does give him a better chance of advancing his formation before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. He might even be able to set up a level 5 formation directly using this secret record!
The first requirement of this secret manual is that one's soul must reach the Nascent Soul level.
However, Cheng Tianyang's soul was injured, preventing him from advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. He may never be able to do what was predicted in the secret record in his lifetime.
But for Ye Feng, it wasn't impossible.
He cultivated the Divine Art, and his divine sense had long been compressed to its limit. Although he had not fought against a Nascent Soul cultivator, he was probably not much weaker.
However, comprehending the secrets of formations is not something that can be done in a short time, especially since it is a level five formation.
Let's get the shop set up first...
While Ye Feng was busy,
A notification sounded again from outside the formation: someone had come to visit.
Ye Feng smiled and greeted him.
"Come in!"
The person who entered bowed and lowered their head.
"Hello, Ma Yun, tour guide from Hanhai City. Congratulations to the boss on your grand opening! May your business prosper! I am... a senior!"
Ma Yun looked up and realized that the shop owner was someone she knew.
"I... I mean, I'd like to know what kind of business your shop offers, so I can help you refer customers!"
"You've come at the right time. I was just looking for you. Go and find me thirty shop assistants..."
"Must be beautiful and have a good figure! Cultivation level is not limited!"
