Chapter 324 The Shocked White-Haired Elder

“So that’s how it is!”

Deacon Niu finally understood what was going on. However, it was still too difficult to complete the array formation within a month. Deacon Niu felt that it was unlikely.

However, since it was the fifth elder’s decision, Deacon Niu could only listen to it. Thus, he bade farewell and left. He planned to go to Li Xuan’s cave abode at the end of the month to check on the completion of the array formation.

Even though he felt that it was unlikely to be completed, he hoped that Li Xuan would be able to do it and remain in the formation hall.

On the other side, in Li Xuan’s cave abode…

Li Xuan, who was currently setting up the array formation, frowned deeply. He slowly removed the array formation that he had just set up. After which, he took out a pen and paper from his Portable Space and began to draw.

“Strange. After modifying the second Formation Pattern, it’s impossible to fuse it together. What’s the reason? There’s no problem with the circuits of the Spiritual Pattern, and there’s no problem with the connection of the array formation as well. Strange!”

Li Xuan could not figure it out. The main thing was that his knowledge of array formations was still too little. If he were to forcefully modify it, it would naturally not be that easy.

“I’ll go to the library pavilion and take a look. In any case, I can view the first level for free.” Li Xuan stood up and left the cave abode. On the lush green mountain path, he slowly arrived in front of a pavilion. He saw a five-story tall library pavilion.

This library was the learning area for outer sect disciples. The first floor was mostly filled with various biographies and legends. A small portion was related to the thinking of arrays and incomplete arrays. After Li Xuan discovered this place yesterday afternoon, he stayed here until the sky turned dark. His harvest was quite good.

This day, Li Xuan decided to read a bit more books and take a good look at the knowledge inside to increase his own array foundation and inspiration.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan continued to move forward. When he reached the door, he nodded at the old man who was guarding the door. Then, he strode into the first level of the library pavilion.

This old man had white hair and a white beard. He looked like an ordinary person. However, Li Xuan easily discovered the other party’s level. His strength, which was at the Low-Level Silver Rank, could be considered pretty good.

However, this old man had been seriously injured. His internal organs had been exhausted to the edge. Li Xuan could feel the rotten aura that he was emitting. It was estimated that he would not live for long.

Li Xuan had seen a few of these types of old men before. Most of them were responsible for some simple tasks in the sect, so he could be considered to be enjoying his last period of time.

Back to Li Xuan…

Li Xuan walked into the book collection pavilion and came to bookshelf number 32. He picked up a black book on the bookshelf and slowly opened it.

The black book had the words ‘Essentials of Basic Array Formations’ written on it. It was also a book that he had not finished reading the previous day, so he picked it up and read it very skillfully.

The content was not difficult at all. The reason why Li Xuan continued reading it was because this book explained the layout of array formations from another perspective, and it went to the extreme.

The knowledge taught by the Array Formation Hall was direct and magnanimous, but this book started from an uncommon part, and it liked to pursue the extreme.

For example, Defensive Array Formations. It would pursue extreme defensive power, eliminating all unnecessary things.

Even if it consumed a large amount of Spirit Stones, it would still want to obtain an extremely high defense.

There were good and bad aspects to this method, and it was hard for Li Xuan to comment on it. What he valued most was to increase his inspiration, and it was to enrich his knowledge.

Thus, once he learned it, he fell silent. Only when night fell and the sound of coughing came from outside the door did Li Xuan put down his book.

“It’s a pity that you’re not allowed to take it with you. In that case, come back tomorrow.”

Li Xuan turned around and left. He decisively put down the book and left, preparing to continue reading tomorrow.

Anyway, their next task was to set up the cave’s array formation. In the next few days, he did not need to go to the Array Formation Hall to learn basic knowledge. He had more time to come here to learn.

Just like that, Li Xuan left at night and rushed back at dawn. Day after day, he learned the knowledge of the first floor of the library.

With his talent in array formation, as well as his extremely strong memory and comprehension ability…

Li Xuan’s understanding of array formations became deeper and deeper. He understood more and more why he had failed to improve the array formation previously. “So it’s the Formation Patterns. The Formation Pattern that I improved has caused the array formation’s power to increase greatly. The basic Formation Patterns are unable to withstand the array formation’s power, which is why it failed…”

If one wanted to improve the array formation, one would need to draw First Tier Formation Patterns to create the Small Protective Barrier Array Formation.

“Drawing aFirst Tier Array Formation was not difficult, but using First Tier Formation Patterns to draw a basic array formation like the Small Protective Barrier is too wasteful. There’s no need at all…”

“Then, can we use the basic Formation Patterns to strengthen the power of the small protective barrier?”

Li Xuan was puzzled. A thought flashed through his mind as he vaguely grasped an important point.

“Wait a moment. Since the basic Formation Patterns can’t withstand it, I’ll just draw two sets of basic Formation Patterns. How could I have overlooked such a simple question?”

Li Xuan shook his head. He had too much knowledge in his mind previously, so he had roughly read through the books on the shelf in front of him. As a result, he had not thought of this point yet.

“According to the books, drawing two sets of basic Formation Patterns is extremely difficult. Let me give it a try.”

Li Xuan took out the blank Array Disk and the array carving knife, as well as half of the Spirit Stones.

These things were given to him by someone called Wang Dazhu, one of the outer sect disciples, in order to consult him on the knowledge of cultivating Spiritual Power.

At the moment, these things could be used to experiment and draw two sets of basic spiritual patterns.

With anticipation, Li Xuan took the array carving knife and began to draw the array patterns in the corner of the array disk bit by bit, in the form of two sets of array patterns.

Relying on his powerful Soul Power and control, Li Xuan quickly carved out the Formation Patterns. Then, through the interlocking method, he carved out a complete Formation Pattern.

At the door of the Scripture Depository…

The white-haired old man who was drinking tea suddenly looked in the direction of the Scripture Depository, surprise flashing in his eyes.

However, he did not say anything. Instead, he quietly waited, a bright light flashing in his turbid eyes.

Inside the Scripture Depository, Li Xuan was engrossed in drawing.

Through the connection of the Formation Patterns, the basic Formation Patterns were quickly linked together, forming a complete Small Protective Barrier Array Formation.

After doing all this, Li Xuan took out the half-used Spirit Stone and decisively placed it in the center of the array plate. He chose to activate it without hesitation.

Buzz!

A circular protective barrier suddenly appeared and condensed in front of Li Xuan. It was like a large round shield, protecting Li Xuan in front of him.

The moment this protective barrier appeared…

The old man at the door stood up and looked at this scene in shock. He looked at Li Xuan’s ten-year-old child and the protective barrier that was even bigger than Li Xuan. The shock in the old man’s eyes became more and more obvious.

However, he did not disturb Li Xuan. Instead, he took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart. He sat back down and continued drinking tea.

However, his hand, which was holding the tea, was slightly unsteady.

In the Scripture Depository, Looking at the rate at which the Spirit Stones were being consumed, Li Xuan frowned. He was slightly dissatisfied with the array formation he had created.

This was because the rate at which the Spirit Stones were being consumed was a little faster than he had expected. This was not what Li Xuan wanted. Furthermore, the time required to inscribe the formation was a little too long, so Li Xuan was prepared to make some modifications.

“I’ll go back and make some modifications. There are no more new Array Disks.” Li Xuan closed the button on the Array Disk and removed the protective barrier. Then, he took the Array Disk and walked out.

“Little friend, what is your name? Which elder’s disciple are you?” The white-haired old man suddenly asked.

“My name is Li Xuan. I am an outer sect disciple. I belong to the Low-Level Array Formation Hall under the guidance of Deacon Niu,” Li Xuan answered calmly.

“Deacon Niu? His skill isn’t that good,” the white-haired old man muttered and said again.

“Young Friend Li Xuan, your Array Disk isn’t bad. How about giving it to me? I’ll exchange it with a copy of the Demon Subduing Array Blueprint. I’ll also give you five blank Array Disks and Spirit Stones,” the white-haired old man said with a laugh.

“Sure.”

Li Xuan nodded and handed the Array Disk over.

The Array disk that he had carved could not withstand a Silver Rank’s attack at all. Its effect on a Silver Rank was to increase their inspiration. However, this bit of inspiration could not be compared to the Demon Subduing Array Blueprint, so he decisively chose to exchange. “Good boy. In the future, if you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, feel free to look for me. My name is Wu Yun. You can call me Elder Yun,” the white-haired old man said with a smile.

“Okay, Elder Yun.”

After Li Xuan took the blueprint of the Demon Subduing Array Blueprint, he could not help but immediately look at it. When he looked at it, he was instantly attracted by the arrangement of the array formation.

Elder Yun smiled again when he saw this scene. He held the Array Disk and also looked at it. In the end, he was also attracted by it.

By the time he recovered, Li Xuan had already left, leaving him holding the Array Disk by himself.

“What an amazing little guy. He actually mastered the extremely difficult Double Formation Pattern drawing method and successfully drew an array formation…”

“Although it was a Small Protective Barrier Array Formation, even the deacons couldn’t do such an array formation. Only the elders could…”

“The key point was that this little guy was obviously a disciple who had just entered the sect not long ago. For such a young disciple to be able to draw Double Formation Patterns, he was definitely a super genius.., “If those old fellows knew that Li Xuan’s talent is so tyrannical, they would definitely fight like crazy to take Li Xuan in as a disciple.”

The white-haired old man smiled slightly. He was prepared to tell this matter to the sect master so that the sect master could properly nurture him.

It would also make the arrogant core disciples of the sect understand that they were still far behind.
