Chapter 563: Chapter 206: Probing, Treasure Obtained, Small Teleportation Jade Disc’s Effect (2)

"Good! Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qin!"

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands in thanks and then took his leave.

Seeing this, Qin Yingxian could only shake his head helplessly, extinguishing his initial plans of recruiting him.

"Uncle Ying, he refused?"

Not long after Zhou Changwang left, another cultivator approached.

This person looked about seventeen or eighteen, with a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor. His cultivation level was also not weak, reaching the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation stage.

If Zhou Changwang saw him, he would naturally recognize him as the steward who had received him when he auctioned off items like the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"I didn’t bring it up."

Qin Yingxian shook his head and said, "Those spirit pills shouldn’t have been refined by him.

If not from someone behind him, then he likely obtained them by chance.

In which case, this person is not worth our Qin Family’s effort to recruit.

A mere Second-Grade Alchemist is simply not qualified to join our Qin Family."

He snorted coldly.

Naturally, he wouldn’t mention what had slightly displeased him about the other party, but rather advised, "Next time, keep your eyes open. Not everyone who brings out good items is a talent.

In the cultivation realm, there are always those who, with some luck, stumble upon valuable treasures by accident.

But temporary luck doesn’t mean anything.

Our Qin Family has many resources, but they all come from the efforts of our ancestors over generations and the diligent cultivation of our juniors.

Although, currently, due to the patriarch, our family is flourishing.

It is precisely because of this that we should tread carefully and utilize every resource wisely.

The more prosperous our Qin Family becomes, the greater the potential crises.

This is because the surrounding cultivation clans will not idly watch us continue to grow without interference."

With that, he turned and walked away.

...

Zhou Changwang naturally wouldn’t know about the discussions after he left. Instead, he found another staff member of the auction, paid the spirit stones, and collected the treasures he had previously won.

Of course, as a price, his originally surplus spirit stones had greatly diminished again.

He ended up with only two hundred and sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones is indeed a lot.

But it’s not exactly abundant either."

Zhou Changwang mused, looking at the various spoils still stored in his storage bag. It occurred to him to sell some of them again to exchange for more spirit stones.

An hour later.

Zhou Changwang declined the enthusiastic invitations from the Zheng, Chen, and Zou families and returned directly to his cave mansion.

"Next, I really need to move into Five Peaks Mountain as soon as possible.

Although this cave mansion allows for peaceful cultivation, it’s never as convenient and free as being in one’s own spiritual land."

In the cultivation secret room, Zhou Changwang furrowed his brow slightly.

However, his expression soon relaxed, remembering his harvest from the auction.

Though he had spent a fortune—all two million plus Lower-Grade Spirit Stones—

he believed it was all worth it.

He then waved his hand and laid out all the items he’d acquired from the auction before him.

"Inverted Five Elements Array, Small Teleportation Jade Disc, Essence Enhancement and Recovery Pill Formulas, Five Dragons Fire-Splitting Furnace, Little Divine Power of Great Cave Celestial Observation, and Little Spirit-Banning Technique."

Looking at each of these items and treasures, Zhou Changwang felt a surge of excitement.

Inverted Five Elements Array is a Third-Grade Initial Stage Array.

Not only does it have a complete set of array flags and foundations, but it also comes with a matching array atlas and formation techniques.

Most importantly, it includes a communication token to contact Master Tian Heng, a High-Tier Second Grade Array Master, to personally arrange the formation..."

Zhou Changwang examined the array flags and foundations one by one.

Finally, he focused on the entire array map of the Third-Grade Initial Stage Array, Inverted Five Elements Array.

"As expected of a Third-Grade Initial Stage Array map.

It’s so complex and profound.

Its use of mountain terrain, the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, Earth Qi, Spiritual Qi, Spirit Veins, and the Power of Heaven and Earth has reached an incredibly high level.

Compared to this, the arrays I’ve encountered before truly pale in comparison..."

Zhou Changwang scrutinized and pondered over it carefully.

Half an hour later, he was forced to set it aside.

It was too taxing mentally.

Especially within the array, where countless intricate minor arrays stack together to form high-tier arrays, layer upon layer, combining with other arrays... without a sufficiently advanced understanding of the array path, even just looking at it would be incomprehensible.

Zhou Changwang considered himself to have some study in arrays.

But truly analyzing this set of Third-Grade Initial Stage Arrays, even with the array map, would take at least two to three months to fully understand.

And to actually arrange it, it would likely take a minimum of six months.

"No wonder they included Master Tian Heng’s communication token.

Indeed.

Without the corresponding level of array cultivation, truly attempting to integrate mountain and river terrain, the paths of spiritual qi and spirit veins, and additionally leveraging the Power of Heaven and Earth to arrange the corresponding complete array, is nearly an impossible task."

Zhou Changwang sighed with appreciation.

His eyes then fell on the second treasure.

Small Teleportation Jade Disc.

The entire jade disc was not large, only about the size of a basin.

According to the Fupin Hermit’s explanation at the auction, to use this Small Teleportation Jade Disc, one must inject enough spiritual power into it to establish a ’link’ between it and another jade disc.

Then, when the other jade disc contains sufficient spiritual power, the corresponding teleportation array activates, transporting items and treasures.
