Chen Feng strolled leisurely along the bustling street, his gaze wandering casually. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a uniquely decorated shop on the side of the street.
This shop stands out from the others in the area, with a prominent sign hanging at the entrance that reads "Array Pavilion".
Filled with intense curiosity, Chen Feng strolled into the mysterious array shop. Upon entering, a dazzling array of goods came into view:
The shelves were filled with all kinds of books on array formation, colorful array materials, and finished array plates of various shapes.
These items emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, as if telling of the wondrous power hidden behind them.
Chen Feng strolled slowly through the shop, carefully examining each item. When he reached a counter displaying blank array plates, he involuntarily stopped.
On the counter, rows of blank array plates of different grades and specifications were neatly displayed. One of them, a third-tier blank array plate, caught his great interest.
Chen Feng pointed to the third-tier blank array plate and asked the shop assistant, "How much is this blank array plate?"
As he spoke, he secretly used his powerful mental energy to examine the array plate.
After careful observation, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a standard blank array plate, with exquisite craftsmanship, excellent materials, and superior quality.
Moreover, judging from the spiritual energy intensity it can withstand, it is fully capable of supporting a third-order minor completion formation!
"Twenty spirit stones each," the elven shop assistant said enthusiastically.
"What? Twenty spirit stones each! That's way too expensive!"
Upon hearing the price, Chen Feng's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with disbelief.
He never imagined that a mere third-order blank array plate would cost so much.
Recalling the scene when they left the human realm, Qian Tianwang generously gave each of them a full one hundred spirit stones as pocket money.
At the time, everyone thought this amount of money was considerable and would be very useful during the journey. However, it seems now that this amount of spirit stones is simply not enough!
Chen Feng inwardly groaned. He had thought that one hundred spirit stones would allow him to live a carefree life for a while, but who knew that he couldn't even buy five third-tier blank array plates.
What should we do? Without enough array plates to assist in cultivation and combat, the road ahead will likely be extremely difficult.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng frowned and began racking his brains for a solution.
"My lord, this is a third-tier blank array plate, made of rare materials. Twenty spirit stones is a common price."
"However, if you are a formation master, you can inscribe a blank formation plate into one and sell it to us. A low-grade third-tier formation plate will be bought back for 500 spirit stones, and a mid-grade third-tier formation plate will be bought back for 700 spirit stones." The elven shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Then may I ask if your store will recycle fourth-order array plates?" Chen Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.
You should know that he also has a considerable number of fourth-order array plates that he made himself!
If these array plates can be successfully recycled by the shopkeeper and exchanged for spirit stones, that would be wonderful.
With these spirit stones, he can purchase more urgently needed third-tier blank array plates, which will undoubtedly greatly assist his subsequent array research and creation.
Thinking about this, Chen Feng became even more excited.
"So you really are a formation master, sir. Of course we'll buy back formation plates of all ranks. It's just that the price of fourth-rank formation plates is relatively low: 20 spirit stones for low-rank, 40 spirit stones for mid-rank, 70 spirit stones for high-rank, and 100 spirit stones for top-rank." The shopkeeper quickly said.
"I have ten mid-grade fourth-tier array plates, ten high-grade array plates, and five top-grade array plates here. How much would it cost to exchange them all for spirit stones?" Chen Feng immediately took out a pile of fourth-grade array plates and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"That's 1,600 spirit stones in total. Would you like to purchase a third-tier blank array plate, sir?" The shopkeeper quickly calculated the spirit stones and then asked.
"Then give me eighty blank third-tier array plates," Chen Feng nodded and said, not asking for spirit stones, but exchanging them all for blank third-tier array plates.
"Alright, sir, please wait a moment." The shop assistant was very happy to have made a decent deal. He put away the fourth-order array plates and then counted out eighty blank third-order array plates and handed them to Chen Feng.
"Sir, if you're looking to sell a third-tier array plate, be sure to come to our shop! We can give you a discount when you buy blank array plates in the future," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically as Chen Feng left.
After returning to his residence, Chen Feng couldn't wait to close the door and prepare to devote himself to the research and production of the third-order array plate.
Although he had raised his array formation skills to the third-tier minor completion level thanks to his years of cultivation experience, this was actually the first time he had ever actually made a third-tier array plate!
Therefore, he knew very well that he would need to practice many times to master this skill.
Inside the room, Chen Feng sat upright at the table, his expression extremely focused, his eyes fixed on the third-order array blueprint in front of him, as if it held endless mysteries waiting for him to discover.
Sometimes he would furrow his brow and fall into deep thought; other times he would pick up a carving knife and carefully trace and carve on the blank array plate.
However, things did not go so smoothly. At the beginning, he had only carved about half of the array on the blank array plate when the entire array suddenly lost its balance and collapsed instantly, declaring the creation a failure.
