The members of the Pill Sect were curious, what exactly would Ning Qianqiu, who always sneered at gift-giving as a way to curry favor, present?
In the anticipation of everyone, Ning Qianqiu instinctively covered his Storage Ring and chuckled dryly, “I cannot say, I cannot say!”
“You should say it out loud, so we can offer you some advice. After all, you have never given a gift before. What if it’s not appropriate?” someone said.
But Ning Qianqiu still shook his head, “It’s absolutely appropriate. I may lack experience in giving gifts, but I cannot be wrong!”
Shentu Feng originally didn’t care and was quite pleased to see Ning Qianqiu becoming enlightened, but now, he also pondered the same issue.
If the gift that Ning Qianqiu prepared was inappropriate, or even worse, if it angered that senior figure, then it would be bad news.
Thinking this, Shentu Feng looked at Ning Qianqiu, “First Elder, they are right. You should take it out and let us have a look for reference.”
Yet, Ning Qianqiu held the Storage Ring even tighter.
“I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid I will ingratiate myself with that senior figure first and leave you with no chance, right? I won’t fall for it!” Ning Qianqiu said very firmly.
The crowd had no response to that, good intentions taken for unappreciated toil!
“Enough, Sect Master, the First Elder won’t act rashly,” someone said.
“Let’s trust him, but the First Elder giving a gift does remind us. Shouldn’t we also prepare some gifts?” another suggested.
All the high-ranking officials nodded in agreement.
Shentu Feng smiled, “I’ve already thought about it, no need for you to remind me. Just wait and watch!”
But this waiting lasted until the next day.
By noon the next day, the Array Patterns surging around Li Cheng reached an astonishing level. Mu Xingzhi, who had been observing this scene, was incredibly shocked, “He must be at least a Level Eight Array Master!”
An Array Master can harness the forces of nature to construct formations, channel the power of the heavens and earth, or even use special materials to create advantageous conditions for constructing formations, as well as directly building formations using Array Patterns.
As one gains a deeper understanding of formations, an Array Master will condense more and more Array Patterns. With a single thought, countless Array Patterns will follow, moving at will, and formations will naturally emerge.
Many Array Masters construct formations within their bodies using Array Patterns, such as creating Killing Formations in their eyes, releasing them with just a glance.
In the eyes of an Array Master, Array Patterns have infinite applications.
Mu Xingzhi couldn’t make out exactly how many Array Patterns Li Cheng had condensed in his state of Enlightenment but he was certain that Li Cheng had definitely become a Level Eight Array Master.
An existence like that, merely setting up a few Level Eight Formations, could likely be invincible within the same realm.
Suddenly, the entire Eighteenth Peak’s Array Patterns circulated, and within a few breaths, the Array Patterns had merged with the mountain itself.
“Eh? What formation has the little uncle set up?”
Mu Xingzhi, standing outside the formation, looked carefully at the newly emerged formation but couldn’t recognize it.
As his eyes swept across the scenery, Mu Xingzhi witnessed a bizarre scene!
In the mountains, there were a few birds in flight, but their flying speed was astonishingly fast!
After silently speculating, Mu Xingzhi realized that the birds’ flying speed was at least thirty times that of normal.
“Those are just ordinary birds, they cannot possibly have such speed!”
Mu Xingzhi’s eyelids twitched, and upon observing other animals, he found that their movements were also thirty times faster!
Seeing this, Mu Xingzhi suddenly thought of a possibility!
“A few days ago, little uncle comprehended the Time Law, could it be that he has integrated the Time Law into the formation, causing the flow of time within the formation to be different from the outside world?”
“This… could this be a Time Formation?”
“The number one of the top ten sects, the Taoist Mysterious Sect, possesses a Sect’s Treasure called the Universe Mystery Tower, which is said to have a similar effect.”
Mu Xingzhi realized it must be a Time Formation!
And it was a thirtyfold acceleration of time!
Thirty days within the Eighteenth Peak, but only one day passed in the outside world!
Amid his astonishment, Mu Xingzhi saw that Li Cheng had already gotten up, moving normally without being affected by the Time Formation.
The bizarre scene filled Mu Xingzhi with confusion.
“Sect Master, coming to protect again? I appreciate your dedication!” Li Cheng flew over with a smile.
Mu Xingzhi pointed at the Eighteenth Peak, “Did the junior uncle set up the Time Formation?”
Li Cheng nodded, “I just tried it on a whim, infusing the Formation with the Three Temporal Laws, not expecting it to truly affect the flow of time.”
“However, the higher the cultivation, the weaker the influence. For those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, it almost has no effect.”
Mu Xingzhi swallowed nervously, “Doesn’t that mean… people of different cultivation levels will perceive different scenarios inside?”
Li Cheng shook his head, “Actually, not much difference. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the vision and other senses become. Take those birds, for example. Whether they fly at thirty times the speed or at normal speed, do you see any difference?”
Mu Xingzhi instantly understood, indeed, even though those birds were flying at thirty times the speed, they still looked slow to him.
Contemplating, Mu Xingzhi spoke with some anticipation, “Junior uncle, the Taoist Mysterious Sect has a treasured artifact that, they say, makes ten days inside equivalent to just one day outside, and it works for everyone.”
Li Cheng had heard of it, but that was an Immortal Artifact passed down from the Immortal World, how could a mere Formation compare?
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Cheng smiled, “If enough Universe Mystery Stones can be found, a Formation could also achieve that effect.”
Mu Xingzhi’s mouth twitched, the main material for the Universe Mystery Tower being Universe Mystery Stones, he wondered whether they even existed in the Kunlun Realm, after all, it was an Immortal Artifact from the Immortal World.
“Just thinking about it is fine, let’s go, time to refine elixirs.” Without waiting for Mu Xingzhi to say more, Li Cheng had already flown off.
Mu Xingzhi hurriedly followed after him.
But Li Cheng suddenly stopped again, turning his gaze back to the Eighteenth Peak.
Mu Xingzhi understood the cue, “I’ll go call them.”
Mu Xingzhi knew that if the Seventh Elder missed the chance to observe Li Cheng’s alchemy, he would be absolutely livid.
Without hesitation, Mu Xingzhi flew to the Seventh Elder’s side, glanced at him, and then turned his gaze to Ling Xi, curious as to who this young girl was.
“Wake up, the junior uncle is about to refine elixirs!”
As Mu Xingzhi spoke, the Seventh Elder, who was meditating and gaining enlightenment, suddenly opened his eyes, “Where?”
Ling Xi’s eyes, bright as the moon, opened to see Mu Xingzhi and she quickly got up to pay respects, “Greetings, Sect Master Senior Brother!”
Hm?
Who are you?
Senior Brother?
Don’t tell me the junior uncle has taken on another disciple?
Looking doubtfully at Ling Xi, Mu Xingzhi then shifted his gaze back to the Seventh Elder.
The Seventh Elder cleared his throat and pointed to Ling Xi, “The junior uncle’s second disciple, Ling Xi!”
Mu Xingzhi felt bitterness in his heart, oh boy, looks like the junior uncle’s ascension is going to be delayed again!
“Seventh Elder, did you know about the junior uncle taking on a disciple and failed to report to me?” Mu Xingzhi’s expression turned serious, causing the Seventh Elder to startle.
He had forgotten!
“Never mind! Seeing that you are all comprehending this Jade Slip, Ling Xi must have received the junior uncle’s Alchemy Dao inheritance, right?” His tone shifted, Mu Xingzhi’s stern look turned into a smile.
The sudden change made Ling Xi react a beat too slow, as she quickly paid respects, “Yes, Sect Master Senior Brother.”
Seeing Ling Xi’s obedient demeanor, Mu Xingzhi chuckled softly and said warmly, “That’s good, you learn well and don’t disappoint the junior uncle.”
Ling Xi bowed again, “Yes, Sect Master Senior Brother!”
Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “No need to be so formal, let’s go and watch the junior uncle refine elixirs!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the Seventh Elder had flown off far away, leaving only his voice drifting back, “Sect Master, hurry up and come over!”
