Cultivating Immortality: Beginning with Blessings from the Immortals

A hint of confusion flashed in Zhao Junri's eyes. He didn't know how Chen Yi had made Zhang Mazi and the other two disappear.

However, he was certain that this matter was related to Chen Yi, and the fact that he had broken through two levels in such a short time meant that something was definitely amiss.

Zhao Junri pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice:

"Perhaps he had another opportunity, or perhaps it was related to the cave dwelling of Master Jin Guang."

The burly man frowned slightly, his expression also thoughtful. The reason he was involved in the affairs of Zhang Mazi and his two companions was because he was Zhang Mazi's elder brother, Zhang Yuting.

Zhang Yuting snorted coldly and turned to face Zhao Junri.

"Do you take me for a fool? A mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator can find the Golden Light Venerable's cave in Wanling Mountain?"

"But I've heard that my younger brother used to hang out with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junri felt a chill run down his spine. Zhang Yuting was a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his strength was not to be underestimated.

His father is currently in seclusion, at a crucial juncture in his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he dares not easily offend Zhang Yuting.

Zhao Junri's expression shifted, and his eyes suddenly glanced at Wei Wufeng's courtyard to the side.

"Brother Zhang, this matter is also related to one person, whose name is Wei Wufeng."

"He and Chen Yi and others entered Wanling Mountain as a team, but only the two of them left later. Perhaps it was Jin Guang Shangren's treasure..."

Zhao Junri hesitated at this point, leaving everything unsaid.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuting's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested, inquiring about Wei Wufeng's situation.

Zhao Junri dared not conceal anything and truthfully told Wei Wufeng's information. He also did not expect that the ugly Zhang Mazi had an domineering older brother.

He only knew a little about Zhang Yuting's background, but it seemed to be related to the Fengyu Chamber of Commerce in the market.

Zhang Yuting nodded slightly upon hearing Zhao Junri's words, glanced at him, and turned to leave. Zhao Junri immediately followed.

If his father hadn't been still in seclusion, he wouldn't have to put up with Zhang Yuting's attitude.

However, this was in line with his wishes; no matter how powerful Chen Yi was, he could never be a match for a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.

……

At this moment, Chen Yi was still in his room, engrossed in sketching array patterns.

The Spirit Gathering Array is a first-order array, which can be completed with only three array patterns. However, the three array patterns must be formed in one go, without any pauses or deviations in between.

Chen Yi kept sketching array patterns on the yellow paper, hoping to create the spirit-gathering array as soon as possible.

……

Three days later, Chen Yi pushed open the door.

A hint of regret appeared on his face; he still couldn't create a spirit-gathering array. However, he had memorized all three array patterns, and he only needed to practice diligently in the future.

Now that it was time to go to school again, Chen Yi had no choice but to head to the outer gate of the Tianling Sect.

Chen Yi traveled forward and soon arrived at the outer gate of the Tianling Sect, where he entered using his token.

He arrived at the school and waited quietly in the courtyard.

At this moment, cultivators began to arrive at the school, all of whom, like Chen Yi, had come to learn formation techniques.

Chen Yi examined the array formations on the jade slip. He noticed that one of the array formations on the jade slip was exactly what he wanted: the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array.

This formation can generate poisonous clouds, which can dissipate the spiritual energy of cultivators and also poison them.

However, you need to add poison powder to the array plate yourself to activate this array.

"Excellent, the Azure Nether Poison Crystal and the Golden Cloud Illusion Butterfly's scales will come in handy." Chen Yi was secretly delighted.

However, the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array is difficult to make among first-order arrays, and it also requires the use of poisons, so very few array masters make this array.

Just as Chen Yi was examining how the Poison Cloud Spirit Transformation Array was inscribed with array patterns, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"Brother Chen, how's your study of formations going?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi turned around and discovered that Deng Liangyu and Yang Liren were walking towards him from behind.

Deng Liangyu waved his jade fan, looking every bit the elegant young gentleman.

Yang Liren followed closely behind, exuding the same air of nobility.

"Brother Deng, Brother Yang, I greet you both." Chen Yi clasped his hands in greeting and smiled.

Deng Liangyu nodded slightly and quickly inquired about Chen Yi's progress in learning formations.

Chen Yi took out a piece of yellow paper from his storage bag and said:

"To my shame, I've only been able to draw this one array pattern these past few days. It seems my talent in array formations is quite low."

Deng Liangyu and Yang Liren exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of shock.

"This, this is really what you drew?!" Deng Liangyu asked again.

Chen Yi noticed the surprise on their faces and agreed to the matter again.

What he didn't know was that it would take an ordinary array master more than a month to draw an array pattern for the first time.

Chen Yi can draw array patterns in just four or five days, his talent far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Yang Liren's expression was somewhat grim. It took him half a month to draw array patterns for the first time. Now, Chen Yi, who came from a commoner background, was even more talented than him in the art of array formations.

"That's good. Next, I'd like to create a spirit-gathering array," Chen Yi said.

Deng Liangyu looked Chen Yi up and down, and couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.

He found that he couldn't quite understand Chen Yi; not only was he an insect tamer, but he was also very talented in formations.

Soon, many cultivators gathered in the schoolyard.

Master Zhou and another array master arrived late, and after seeing that everyone was due, they separated to give lessons again.

Master Zhou led Chen Yi and the others into the school, immediately distributing spirit pens and yellow paper to each of them, and said:

"You have already learned the basics of array formations. Now I will teach you how to draw array patterns."

Chen Yi took the yellow paper and spirit brush, without mentioning that he was already able to draw array patterns. He took this opportunity to continue practicing drawing the array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Master Zhou explained the details of drawing the array patterns to everyone, and Chen Yi listened attentively below.

He had previously learned how to draw array patterns on his own, but now, after listening to Master Zhou's explanation, he naturally gained a lot.

"No wonder he had to find a master to learn formations; he took so many detours if he had to learn on his own," Chen Yi thought to himself.

After Master Zhou finished explaining, he asked everyone to immediately pick up their pens and sketch out the formation.

After listening to Master Zhou's explanation, Chen Yi had a sudden realization and immediately began to draw the formation.

The three array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array are not considered difficult among first-order arrays. Chen Yi held the pen like a knife, concentrating on sketching the array patterns on the yellow paper.

Before long, the three array patterns were almost complete.

The array patterns on the yellow paper shimmered with bursts of rosy light, and the surrounding spiritual energy subtly drew closer to Chen Yi.

As Chen Yi finished drawing the last stroke, the complete Spirit Gathering Array immediately appeared on the yellow paper.

A burst of light flashed across the three array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Array, and wisps of spiritual energy slowly gathered towards the center.

Even though no array patterns were drawn on the array plate, the yellow paper was still a medium that could exert some of the array's effects.

"Huh?!!" Master Zhou looked surprised and immediately turned to look at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief and put down his spirit brush. He never expected that he would be able to draw the spirit gathering array for the first time in the school today.

"Kid, this, this is what you drew?"

Master Zhou's voice rang out from the side, and Chen Yi realized that the other party had appeared behind him at some point.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yi answered truthfully:

"Master Zhou, I am a beginner in formations. I wonder if there are any errors in this Spirit Gathering Formation?"
