I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 185 - 157: Zhao Tiezui’s Furious Embarrassment
"Then when you finish refining, I’ll take the cultivation technique together. I’ll go find True Monarch Fuyi to consult about the array plate now, goodbye."
Jiang Yuebai dashed away, leaving True Monarch Cang Huo staring blankly at the storage bag.
After a while, True Monarch Cang Huo chuckled, "Little Fox! It’s a pity I was trapped in a formation at that time; otherwise, how could I let that taciturn Lii Jiuchuan snatch such an amusing girl away. Spread the net wide to catch more fish; there’s always a little fish that jumps through the Dragon Gate..."
Jiang Yuebai headed straight to Zhao Fuyi’s residence, but didn’t see Zhao Fuyi and found Tang Weimian pacing outside, frustrated.
"Did my Beidou Star Positioning Array succeed or not? Where did the message flying sword go?"
Hearing her distress, Jiang Yuebai recalled that when Lii Jiuchuan mentioned Qing Nangzi, he didn’t bring up the message flying sword; Lii Jiuchuan discovered it himself.
So this Beidou Star Positioning Array likely hadn’t succeeded, and the message flying sword hadn’t reached Lii Jiuchuan; perhaps it flew off somewhere or was damaged during transmission.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuebai approached and said, "Senior Sister Tang, my master specifically sent me to thank you. If it weren’t for your timely message, he would have almost fallen into Qing Nangzi’s trap."
Tang Weimian’s furrowed brows relaxed, and her face brightened like a blossoming flower.
"Really? True Monarch Jiuchuan received my message flying sword?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded sincerely, "He received it, but he’s been too busy to visit in person. I hope you don’t mind, Senior Sister Tang."
Tang Weimian blushed with excitement, waving her hands eagerly, "No need to thank me. If True Monarch Jiuchuan visited, I’d be overwhelmed. It was the least I could do. Haha, that’s wonderful, haha."
"What are you laughing at, so happy?"
Zhao Fuyi came from outside, and Tang Weimian couldn’t stop smiling, "Master, I always thought my Beidou Star Positioning Array hadn’t worked, and dared not ask you. Turns out, I’ve succeeded, haha, Master, I did it."
Zhao Fuyi was slightly dazed, noticing Jiang Yuebai winking behind Tang Weimian, and understood.
She realized she might have been too strict with these disciples, causing them immense pressure and fear of failure.
In contrast, Lii Jiuchuan always spoke of Jiang Yuebai positively in front of others, turning negatives into another kind of positive.
"Hmm, thanks to you this time, but don’t be too proud. Keep summarizing... your success experience."
"Yes!"
Tang Weimian, overly excited, suddenly hugged Jiang Yuebai and then ran off.
Zhao Fuyi shook her head, walking inside, "You’re here to collect debts?"
"Not collecting debts, here to consult." Jiang Yuebai raised the Eight Arrays Plate in her hand.
"Come in."
Jiang Yuebai followed Zhao Fuyi into the tent, sat down familiarly before Zhao Fuyi spoke, "True Monarch Fuyi, how do I use this array plate after the modifications?"
Zhao Fuyi sat properly, "Sit properly before asking. You can be a bit casual with me, but outside, in front of other seniors, don’t lose the dignity of the Heavenly Interence Sect."
Jiang Yuebai quickly sat upright.
Zhao Fuyi then said, "Your original array plate had eight arrays, but they were equivalent to one array. With only the effect of an illusion array, it wasn’t suitable for battle methods in the Cultivation Realm. After my modifications, it now has sixty-four variations of the Eight Diagrams. I didn’t arrange them according to hexagram-pattern but used their rules, combined with the Five Elements Three Wonders."
"Originally, if your Five Elements were balanced, you could change the sixty-four arrays freely, combining and linking them to multiply their power; but now, as a Fire Evil Spiritual Body, you can only temporarily activate the fire-related eight arrays. Next, I’ll explain in detail the array transformations and principles within, ask whenever you have questions."
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes lit up, "Great, my Array Dao is stuck at a bottleneck with many questions to ask you."
With a heart of compensatory apology, Zhao Fuyi patiently explained the new array plate issues to Jiang Yuebai, extending to some basic Array Dao knowledge.
Jiang Yuebai absorbed and understood the knowledge quickly, inferring and expanding, constantly refreshing Zhao Fuyi’s understanding of her.
Initially, things were normal, one asking and one answering.
As Jiang Yuebai continued asking, she naturally took out a fasting pill and ate it, causing Zhao Fuyi’s brow to twitch, sensing something amiss.
Later, with a dry mouth and throat, Zhao Fuyi wanted to call it a day several times, but seeing Jiang Yuebai’s sincere yet knowledge-thirsty eyes, she remembered her rejection, her life-saving efforts in the Secret Realm, and couldn’t say stop.
She could only grit her teeth and continue.
Day after day, Jiang Yuebai never knew satisfaction; solving one problem, a new one would emerge.
"...Why must the Child and Mother Array start with the smaller child array? Why can’t it start with the big framework of the mother array?"
Zhao Fuyi, tired and bleary-eyed, stressed, "I’ve told you, the array formation is like water, it must be pushed in waves to unleash its power."
Jiang Yuebai tilted her head in confusion, "If I start with the mother array framework, it’s like compressing these waves of power, and once the child array fills up, wouldn’t it unleash like a mountain flood, with greater power?"
Zhao Fuyi was both angry and suddenly enlightened, unknowingly thinking along Jiang Yuebai’s lines, realizing some truth.
No! She can’t be led astray by this girl!
Bang!
Zhao Fuyi suddenly raised her hand and tapped Jiang Yuebai’s head, "Why does your little head have so many questions? Arraying is done forward, who arrays backward?"
Jiang Yuebai, annoyed, held her head, "The heavens can be reversed, why not the arraying? You can’t argue against me, so you hit, for shame on you as a mentor!"
"I’m not your master! Go to your own master!"
Zhao Fuyi flicked her sleeves, causing Jiang Yuebai, along with the Eight Arrays Plate and the array maps drawn over recent days, to be swept by a strong wind and thrown out of the tent.
"Ow!"
Jiang Yuebai fell sprawling, seeing the radiant array plate at Zhao Fuyi’s tent top, setting down three great arrays sealing the small tent tightly.
"Zhao Tiezui, you unreasonable!"
Gathering her courage, Jiang Yuebai shouted, and when the array light shook slightly, she collected her things and ran off.
Zhao Fuyi sat in the tent, her face ashen from anger, but Jiang Yuebai’s previous words also sparked her curiosity.
She promptly took out stacks of array maps and started simulation on the array chessboard.
Next time, she mustn’t be embarrassed, unable to answer even a pesky girl’s question!
Reflecting on rejecting Jiang Yuebai as a disciple, the regret and anger faded away, and thinking of this, Zhao Fuyi chuckled despite her anger.
At that time, Lii Jiuchuan noticed Jiang Yuebai returning, and couldn’t help teasing, "You’ve returned after just three days? I thought you’d pester her for half a month."
"True Monarch Fuyi is unreasonable, threw me out in anger."
Jiang Yuebai sat down, puffed up, to drink water, and Lii Jiuchuan handed her a storage bag.
"Aren’t you going to travel? Go now."
"Now?"
Jiang Yuebai’s eyes widened; she just got thrown out by Zhao Tiezui, and now her master is sending her off?
Lii Jiuchuan smiled helplessly, "Do you know how many people I’ve turned away these few days on your behalf? If you don’t leave, I can’t stay here either."
"Go, the world is vast, go wherever you want, remember to send letters for peace when you have time, and don’t forget to regularly check Hongyan Building in various workshops for news. I’ll send you messages about spiritual objects."
