Chen Zhou was completely stunned.
A formation master's proof?
Although Chen Zhou is a formation master, he has never been certified anywhere. He only recently heard from Jiang Ying that he could be certified at the Tianyun Association, which would give him a certificate as a formation master.
"Not available at the moment," Chen Zhou replied.
Gu Yuqi's already deep-set face immediately furrowed even deeper as he said, "The Tianyun Continent Array Master Association stipulates that any transaction involving array diagrams must be accompanied by an array master's certificate; otherwise, the transaction will not be permitted."
"Moreover, my array diagram workshop is clearly a business under the Tianyun Association. All transactions are strictly linked to the Tianyun Association, and I submit all information about the sale of these array diagrams to the Tianyun Association."
This was Chen Zhou's first time trading array diagrams at the Array Diagram Shop, and he had no idea that there were such rules. He noticed that Gu Yuqi's expression was grim, and it seemed that this transaction would be difficult to proceed.
"Does that mean we can't trade without a formation master's certificate?" Jiang Ying asked at this moment.
Gu Yuqi nodded slightly and said with difficulty, "Theoretically, that's how it is; it is indeed impossible to trade."
"Alright then," Chen Zhou said slowly, his face showing some displeasure.
Why is trading a chart so complicated? What's the point?
The first priority is to recruit more array masters for the Tianyun Association. Without registering with the Tianyun Association, it is impossible to trade array diagrams in many array diagram shops across the continent.
Secondly, it is to prevent the array diagram from being leaked. Even if the array diagram is leaked, the Tianyun Association can use the information collected to find the specific array master and then pursue the matter.
This is equivalent to being indirectly controlled by the Tianyun Association.
“However, my array diagram workshop is the Southern Array Diagram Workshop of the Tianyun Association, and it can handle the registration of array masters,” Gu Yuqi then said.
Gu Yuqi's words meant that Chen Zhou could register as an array master and join the Tianyun Association now, so that he could obtain an array master certificate and complete the transaction.
"How do I register? Can I start now? What are the requirements?" Chen Zhou asked directly, finally seeing a glimmer of hope.
Chen Zhou believed that this healing array was essential. Traveling from the South to the North would inevitably involve many troubles, and injuries were bound to occur. If he learned the healing array, he could naturally avoid a lot of trouble.
"Come with me."
After Gu Yuqi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the array diagram workshop.
Chen Zhou and Jiang Ying followed closely behind. Although Gu Yuqi was old, he was still agile and walked quickly forward without his shoes getting dusty.
The Zhentu Pavilion is a large building with three floors. Gu Yuqi led Chen Zhou and Jiang Ying to the second floor and entered a separate room. Inside sat a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Gu Yuqi.
"My son, Gu Kaifeng, is currently the president of the Southern Branch of the Tianyun Association, in charge of matters such as the registration of array masters," Gu Yuqi introduced to Chen Zhou and Jiang Ying.
Gu Kaifeng was dressed in a loose Taoist robe with blue stripes. There was a cloud-like mark on his chest with the two small characters "Tianyun" on it, followed by a small, blurry array on the back.
This should be the logo of the Tianyun Association.
"Greetings, Princess." Gu Kaifeng, who lived in the South, naturally recognized Jiang Ying and immediately bowed.
"No need for formalities. We are outside the palace; there's no need for so many formalities," Jiang Ying quickly said upon seeing this.
“Kaifeng, this young man needs to register as a formation master.” Gu Yuqi didn’t waste any time and said immediately. Having spent so many years in the imperial court, he naturally knew some unspoken rules, such as not revealing other people’s identities casually.
For example, Gu Yuqi did not deliberately reveal Chen Zhou's identity as the chief disciple of Jianyun Sect.
This doesn't mean Gu Yuqi deliberately concealed it; the other party is his own son, so why would he need to hide it? It's just that Gu Yuqi has developed this habit, a habit that is extremely important in the court, and now it's very difficult for Gu Yuqi to change it.
"Is he from the South? It's been a long time since anyone from the South has registered as a formation master." Gu Kaifeng said in surprise. The education of children from the South does not include the inheritance of formations, so it is difficult for them to produce a formation master. Now that he heard that a young formation master wanted to register, he was naturally very surprised.
“Yes,” Chen Zhou replied.
Gu Kaifeng was surprised, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect that my Southern Kingdom would have such a genius in formations?"
Chen Zhou doesn't look very old. Among those who register as array masters at this age in the Tianyun Association, they are all descendants of powerful families, and very few are ordinary people.
"Come with me," Gu Kaifeng said, suppressing his shock.
Whether it's a donkey or a horse, we'll have to put it to the test. Who knows if it's real? What if it's just a facade? Gu Kaifeng was still a little skeptical.
But regardless of his disbelief, Gu Kaifeng still had to take Chen Zhou to undergo the test; once the test was done, they would know everything.
Gu Kaifeng led Chen Zhou to the back of the house, a space isolated by true energy. People outside could see inside, but Chen Zhou could not see Jiang Ying and Gu Yuqi outside.
After entering, Gu Kaifeng inspected the room and then said to Chen Zhou, "Set up the most complex formation you can currently create. Set up as many as you can."
Chen Zhou nodded, and while Gu Kaifeng was speaking, Chen Zhou had already begun searching for the array's core.
The true essence of the first pupil technique: stars slowly filled Chen Zhou's eyes.
Seeing the change in Chen Zhou's eyes, Gu Kaifeng nodded appreciatively. The beginning of the formation always involved using pupil techniques. Looking at the young man's eyes, he must have grasped the essence of pupil techniques. However, he wondered what kind of pupil technique this young man was practicing.
Before long, Chen Zhou found the core of the Dragon Imprisonment Formation and placed it in front of his body. Then he began to search for the core of the second formation, the Crimson Dragon Formation!
Chen Zhou plans to find the two key points of the formation and set up two formations at the same time!
This requires a high level of control over true qi, at least more difficult than Chen Zhou setting up one array after another.
Looking at Chen Zhou, who was standing still without moving, Jiang Ying couldn't help but worry. It seemed that registering as an array master was still a bit of a stretch.
Chen Zhou might just be someone who can only set up small formations, and might never have seen a real formation master.
Just when Jiang Ying thought Chen Zhou was about to fail, a huge cage suddenly appeared in front of Chen Zhou!
There must be a dragon above that cage!
A dragon head appeared in the corner of each cage; Jiang Ying roughly counted, and there were four.
Just then, another change occurred in front of Chen Zhou. A small magma slowly appeared beneath the Dragon Imprisoning Formation!
