My Master Knows It All-Chapter 165 - 122 Array Plate_6

"What are you talking about!" Ai Yunqi’s chest heaved with anger, and if it weren’t for the fact that she had just accepted 50,000 Spiritual Stone Tickets from Cao Zhen, she would have already kicked him out.

"When you melt it down and recast it, can you guarantee that you’ll be able to forge the Divine Weapon back to its original state? Exactly the same? Even if you can forge it again, can the essence, energy, and spirit within the Divine Weapon, the legacy it carries, and the significance it represents remain the same?"

As she spoke, she pointed at the longsword in Cao Zhen’s hand and said, "The sword in your hand is called the Frost Sounding Sword, a Divine Weapon of Elder Chen, the eighth-generation elder of Heart Sword Peak.

Back then, when the Disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect went out to eradicate Demon Heads, they were schemed against by people from the Demonic Path, and a group of disciples was trapped in a dire situation. It was Elder Chen who fought a bloody battle alone, blocking the foes and allowing our disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect to escape safely.

Among those disciples was the ninth-generation Sect Leader True Person!

However, Elder Chen fell in the battle.

Afterwards, the masters of our Hundred Peaks Sect went out in full force and, although they killed those from the Demonic Path who plotted against us, they could not find Elder Chen’s remains, only this Frost Sounding Sword.

"Let me ask you, if you melt down this Frost Sounding Sword, even if you forge it back, can the meaning be the same?"

Cao Zhen also fell silent and sighed, "Then what should I do? My Formation Map..."

"You’re crafting Formation Maps, you can use the materials from the Immortal Soldier Workshop." Ai Yunqi pointed toward a shelf stacked with materials in the distance and said, "Although it’s true that you’re crafting Formation Maps, not forging Divine Weapons, I’m not so rigid.

The Five-Element Pill Ground has a rule that after successful Alchemy, leaving behind twenty percent of the pills of the same quality is sufficient, and the Immortal Soldier Workshop has a similar rule. You want to craft Formation Maps, right? Fortunately, our Immortal Soldier Workshop also needs Formation Maps. After you’ve successfully crafted two Array Plates, you just need to leave behind one Formation Map of equivalent quality."

"That will work, too. Thank you, Granny," Cao Zhen said, suddenly overjoyed, as the opportunity to score a bargain had come again. He looked towards the iron rack with materials, and as he examined them, he murmured softly, "How come there are so many fewer materials than the last time I came?"

"Why there are fewer, you should go ask your senior disciple," Ai Yunqi recalled the scene when Ling Xi crafted the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman and said, "If this happens again, I’m afraid the View Master might shut down the Immortal Soldier Workshop just like closing the Five-Element Pill Ground."

"The View Master is good at everything; she’s just too petty. Not as magnanimous as you, Granny," Cao Zhen flattered Ai Yunqi at the right time, feeling it was more than mere flattery.

Ai Elder allowing him to craft Formation Maps here, if not magnanimity, what is it?

He had originally planned to craft two Formation Diagrams, but now, since Ai Elder allowed him to use materials from the Immortal Soldier Workshop, he couldn’t settle for crafting just two.

He had five disciples; how could he favor some over others? Besides, even though only Xiang Ziyu needed to leave the mountain this time, he had also told his disciples to pack a full set of six divine weapons before descending. But who could predict any unforeseen circumstances?

What if another disciple needed to come down the mountain? How could he prepare life-saving items in such a hurry?

Therefore, since he had the opportunity this time, he would craft more, adding one for himself, exactly six Unparalleled Formation Diagrams.

In the future, he could even allow these six Formation Diagrams to form a new kind of Extreme Formation.

However, even though all six would be Unparalleled Formation Diagrams, they couldn’t be identical.

After all, each person’s Cultivation Base is different, the maximum potential they can activate from the Formation Map is different, and everyone has their own specialities. For example, Yi Sheng has a True Yang body, so her Formation Map should be more suited to be driven by the power of fire, while Ling Xi has the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body, and her Formation Map should work in conjunction with Talismans. freewebnoveℓ.com

Cao Zhen picked up one precious material after another from a nearby rack, materials that he couldn’t afford even if he sold Four Treasures Peak, assuming that today would be his only and last chance to take advantage of the Immortal Soldier Workshop, given Hidden Dragon View Master Lv Chaoqiong’s stinginess.

He picked up one material after another and began to craft the Formation Map.

Crafting a Formation Map, first and foremost, is to create the outline of the map.

Cao Zhen spent an entire two hours just to craft the outline of a Formation Map, a disc as large as a plate for serving food.

The Formation Map need not necessarily be a map due to different materials and Formation requirements; it can exist in other forms.

The best form for the Unparalleled Formation he was crafting was this disc-shaped form, which can also be referred to as an Array Plate.

Shaping the Array Plate is just the foundation; the rest is to construct the Formation on it.

Cao Zhen began to pick up more materials and, after further refinement or engraving, embedded them into the Array Plate with special techniques.

Every time a material was incorporated into the Array Plate, it would tremble slightly, and its surface would gain a new mark, either a shallow groove or a dot as small as a grain of rice.

Ai Yunqi watched as Cao Zhen handled one material after another without being too surprised; given that Cao Zhen was willing to melt down a Divine Weapon for the sake of crafting Formation Maps, it was clear that the Formation Maps he intended to craft wouldn’t be simple, and requiring precious materials was natural.

Moreover, although she didn’t particularly understand the crafting of Formation Maps, as Cao Zhen began stacking up the materials, carving mysterious and intricate inscriptions on each, and embedding them into the disc, feeling the undeveloped Formation Map’s changes, she could sense that this Formation Map was extremely extraordinary.
