Mo Tu frowned on one side, pretending to be shocked.

On the other side, his thoughts were racing, putting all his effort into memorizing the entire Ling Shu array diagram.

Mo Tu focused intently.

Lu Chengyun felt a little off and was about to say something.

Mo Tu then suddenly clutched his little head, looking pained, and murmured:

“My spiritual sense… is exhausted…”

Lu Chengyun was slightly startled, and hastily put away the Ling Shu array diagram, asking:

“Little Mister, are you okay?”

Mo Tu’s face was pale, and he said weakly, “Nothing…”

He looked at the Ling Shu array diagram and shook his head in shock, saying:

“I didn’t expect that this array requires such a huge amount of spiritual sense. I just looked for a while, and my spiritual sense is almost depleted…”

This was within Lu Chengyun’s expectations.

He nodded slightly and said, “This array is called the Ling Shu array. It’s a hidden sect’s guardian array. The difficulty of the array is indeed inconceivable.”

“It’s really very difficult…” Mo Tu’s expression was dejected.

Lu Chengyun had a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his tone was comforting:

“This array consumes a lot of spiritual sense. Those who haven’t reached Foundation Establishment cannot learn it.”

“Little Mister is only at Qi Refining stage. Your spiritual sense is insufficient, so you can’t learn it or draw it. It’s normal, no need to be disheartened.”

“The path of cultivation is long, and the future days are long. As long as Little Mister continuously studies array formations and enhances your spiritual sense, one day, you will be able to comprehend this array formation.”

Lu Chengyun encouraged Mo Tu.

Mo Tu received the encouragement, his expression brightened a little, and his gaze was firm as he nodded:

“Okay!”

Lu Chengyun laughed again and said, “It’s getting late today. Little Mister’s spiritual sense has been consumed excessively, and you’re a bit uncomfortable. You can go back and rest first. Rest well, then come back to continue drawing the array eye…”

Mo Tu felt a little guilty, “I overestimated myself and delayed Master Lu’s big plan…”

“No harm,” Lu Chengyun said, “The way of array formations is a long and profound one; you can’t rush it in an instant. A hundred-year big plan won’t be affected by this day’s effort.”

A hundred-year big plan…

This Lu Chengyun actually schemes for a hundred years…

Mo Tu’s heart skipped a beat, then he nodded and took his leave, saying:

“Then I’ll go back first and rest a bit.”

Lu Chengyun nodded, “Okay.”

Mo Tu then covered his little head, pretending to have a headache, and left the secret room, walking floatily out of the hall, back to his own stone room, and lay down on the bed.

Lu Chengyun’s spiritual sense also followed Mo Tu.

He saw Mo Tu lying quietly, and after a moment, withdrew his spiritual sense.

After Lu Chengyun withdrew his spiritual sense, Mo Tu immediately sat up, his little face flushed and puffy, his eyes full of excitement.

He ran to the table, took out paper and pen, and according to the array diagram he had just memorized, tried to completely restore the Ling Shu array formation, from the array patterns to the array hub, and even the array eye and similar weighted array formations…

On the other side, inside the Wan Shi array in the wall painting, Zhang Quan faced Lu Chengyun and frowned, saying:

“Brother Lu, isn’t that a bit abrupt?”

Lu Chengyun’s eyebrows raised slightly, “What matter is abrupt?”

“The matter of the Ling Shu array…” Zhang Quan said, “Isn’t it letting him know too early…”

Zhang Quan always harbored vigilance towards Mo Tu.

Of course, he also harbored killing intent.

Lu Chengyun said indifferently, “He will know sooner or later.”

“But…” Zhang Quan was a little uneasy, “What if he learns it?”

Lu Chengyun gave a cold laugh, “This is a first-grade twelve-pattern array formation.”

Zhang Quan was stunned, “So what?”

Lu Chengyun’s eyes showed a hint of disdain.

Talking to someone like Zhang Quan, who was an “array formation illiterate,” was really like playing the lute to a cow.

Lu Chengyun suppressed his patience and said lightly:

“First-grade twelve-patterns, first-grade is the grade of the array formation, twelve-patterns is the requirement for spiritual sense.”

“Meaning to say, this first-grade array formation requires twelve patterns of spiritual sense to learn.”

“Above ten patterns is Foundation Establishment spiritual sense.”

“And twelve patterns of spiritual sense, many cultivators in the early stage of Foundation Establishment haven’t even reached.”

Zhang Quan’s expression changed when he heard the words, “A first-grade array formation, can be learned with Foundation Establishment spiritual sense, so ridiculous?”

“That’s why they say array formations are vast and profound.”

Lu Chengyun glanced at Zhang Quan, “My spiritual sense is just twelve patterns, and your spiritual sense is only ten patterns…”

“So, what does this little mister with the surname Mo have to learn?”

Lu Chengyun said indifferently.

Zhang Quan didn’t speak, only his heart was shocked.

Array formations were indeed complex.

First-grade twelve-patterns…

That little ghost is only at Qi Refining stage, he definitely cannot learn it.

But can he really not learn it?

Zhang Quan frowned.

Mo Tu’s little face reappeared in Zhang Quan’s mind.

He looked cute, but also very hateful, and at the same time, somewhat profound and unpredictable, making it hard for people to figure out.

Zhang Quan had suffered many times at his hands, so when he saw Mo Tu, besides hatred, he also felt a little palpitations.

He always felt that Mo Tu, this little ghost, was not that simple.

And his concealment technique, he himself could not see through.

The more Zhang Quan thought, the more uneasy he became, and he frowned, saying:

“Brother Lu, what if his spiritual sense…”

Lu Chengyun gave a cold laugh, “You think what if his spiritual sense is at Foundation Establishment?”

Zhang Quan also lacked some confidence:

“Not… not impossible…”

Lu Chengyun snorted coldly, a little impatient:

“There is a huge gap between Foundation Establishment spiritual sense and twelve patterns of spiritual sense.”

“Moreover, even if his spiritual sense is sufficient, it’s useless. You just expect him to learn such a difficult array formation with just those two looks?”

Lu Chengyun’s gaze turned slightly cold, “Super grade array formations require both practice and comprehension.”

“Even I have painstakingly practiced and researched for decades, only comprehending a bit of the surface.”

“Then used evil array methods to lower the threshold…”

“Fusing evil thoughts, lowering the spiritual sense threshold; drawing arrays with human blood, lowering the spirit control threshold; using corpses as mediums, lowering the drawing array threshold…”

“Only then can I master and apply this Ling Shu array to the Wan Shi array.”

“Without painstakingly studying for decades, without understanding evil arrays, without fusing evil thoughts as knowledge, without using bones as pens, without using blood as ink, without using corpses as mediums, what can he learn with?”

“You think he can learn it by remembering the array patterns and practicing a few times blindly?”

“You really, too underestimate array formations!”

Lu Chengyun’s tone was cold.

It seemed he thought of the painstaking efforts over the years to learn this array formation.

Infiltrating the Lu family, enduring humiliation, seizing the opportunity to rise, killing people and refining corpses, disassembling bones as pens, mixing blood as ink, all sorts of methods, exhausting all possibilities.

For a moment, his mood was somewhat agitated.

Zhang Quan was afraid of provoking Lu Chengyun, so he stepped back and said:

“This Zhang is shallow in knowledge and does not know the difficulty of this matter. Brother Lu, please forgive me…”

Lu Chengyun came back to his senses, knowing he had lost his composure a little, then restored his gentle and elegant appearance, and said indifferently:

“Brother Zhang is too modest. Considering everything more is always a good thing.”

Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but the shadow left by Mo Tu in his heart still couldn’t be shaken off.

After deliberation, Zhang Quan still said in a low voice:

“Brother Lu, even if that little ghost cannot learn it, there’s no need to show him this array formation. It just adds risk…”

“If I don’t show it to him, how can he willingly stay?” Lu Chengyun said.

Zhang Quan frowned.

Lu Chengyun smiled indifferently and said:

“People all have preferences…”

“This Lu likes power, and Brother Zhang likes lust.”

“But that Little Mister is different. He is not deeply involved in matters and does not know how ecstatic the tastes of power, lust, fame, and profit are in this world.”

“Not knowing the taste, naturally not attached.”

“Spirit stones, female beauty, power, none of these may move him…”

“But array formations are different!”

“This Little Mister has an instinctive desire for array formations.”

“This is the pursuit of an array master!”

Lu Chengyun’s expression was emotional.

“As long as it’s for learning array formations, learning profound, complex, and mysterious array formations, he is willing to do anything.”

“As long as I give him this hope that in the future I can pass the Ling Shu array to him, he will willingly work for me!”

“This Ling Shu array is the bait.”

“This Little Mister is the fish.”

“An array master who is young, amazingly talented, and can wholeheartedly work for me is more precious than dozens of iron corpses.”

Lu Chengyun’s gaze was bright.

Zhang Quan’s eyes showed a hint of envy and jealousy, and at the same time, a hint of unwillingness.

Lu Chengyun valued that little ghost so much that he couldn’t make a move on him.

But until the end, it was still hard to say…

Zhang Quan restrained his expression, cupped his hands, and sighed:

“Brother Lu’s schemes are deep and far-sighted. This Zhang admires you!”

Lu Chengyun looked at Zhang Quan, his gaze bright and dark, and finally sighed:

“Brother Zhang is too modest.”

The two each had their own thoughts, their expressions somewhat obscure…

And inside the stone room, Mo Tu’s eyebrows were already raised and his eyes smiling.

In front of him was an array diagram.

Inside the array diagram, there were three types of array formations, originating from the same source and leading to the same destination, but their forms had high and low, and their weights had high and low.

The three types of array formations were each similar, connected to each other, but the levels were clear and distinct.

It looked complex and profound, yet tight and beautiful.

Exactly what Mo Tu had restored, with the spirit hub control as the core, a complete, first-grade twelve-pattern Ling Shu array diagram!

This array diagram was finally in hand!
