Translator: 549690339
The royal family moved quite quickly. It had only been seven days since the county governor had passed the royal decree, and the array master responsible for inscribing the water-proof array for Chen City had already arrived.
Chen family, in the guest hall.
Accompanied by the Prefectural Governor, Yang Chen received the Array Master.
Ling You, Grade 7 Array Master of the Great Qian Dynasty.
In the Great Qian Empire, which was a barren land for array masters, Ling You would be treated as a distinguished guest no matter which rank 7 force he went to.
However, Ling You did not join any of the factions. According to him, these factions were not worthy of him, Ling You.
The other factions could only smile apologetically.
After all, it had been 500 years since a Grade Six Array Master had appeared in Da Qian. This Grade Seven Array Master had already become the existence with the highest attainments in array formations in Da Qian.
In addition, the sect protection array of each faction required a Grade 7 array master to maintain it regularly.
Therefore, no matter how arrogant Ling You was, these large factions could do nothing about it.
However, the arrogant Ling You revealed a kind expression that no one had ever seen before in the Chen family.
“Lord Chen, don’t worry. I, Ling You, can guarantee that Chen City will become the most secure city in Jiang Prefecture.”Ling You patted his chest and said.
Hearing Ling You’s words, Chen Yang was stunned. Wasn’t it said that Grade Seven Array Masters were extremely arrogant? As for Ling You, he was even more arrogant. How could he be so kind?
Seeming to have read Yang Chen’s mind, Ling You smiled and said,””De Shun Commandery Prince has done me a favor. No matter how arrogant I, Ling You, am, 1 will not put on airs in front of my benefactor’s disciple.”
Seeing this, Yang Chen smiled and said,” Senior Ling must be joking. The so-called arrogance is nothing more than the jealousy of a mediocre person. It’s just a way to slander Senior.””
“However, this Chen Cheng of mine will have to rely on senior.”
When Ling You heard this, he smiled and said,”Don’t worry, Family Head Chen. Nothing will happen with me around.””
“Then Senior, can you rest in my Chen family for a night and continue to inscribe tomorrow?”
“No, I still have to go to other cities. 1’11 have to trouble the Chen clan leader to entertain me next time.”Ling You said.
Seeing this, the few of them hurriedly rushed to the city wall.
This water-proof array needed to be engraved on the city wall. After the array was engraved, a barrier formed by spiritual energy would be formed outside the city wall.
This spiritual energy barrier had the characteristic of avoiding water and could block the flood outside the city wall very well.
Of course, the formation had a weakness, which was that it was afraid of being attacked. Once a demon beast attacked the water-proof formation, even if it was a demon general, the water-proof formation would not last long.
That was why the royal family had ordered a group of aristocratic families to clear out the demon beasts outside the city. They were afraid that the demon beasts would break through the water-proof array.
After arriving at the northern wall of Chen City, Ling You looked up and down the city wall. Then, he said,”I need the Water Repellent Pearl, Gold Ingot Powder, Spirit Gathering Stone…”
“Please hurry up and purchase these forty-three materials, Chen Clan Lord. 1 believe that the Zhou Clan Trading Company has already prepared them.”
“In addition to these forty-three materials, 1 also need four thousand spirit stones to strengthen the four walls.”
Hearing Ling You’s words, Chen Yang whispered into Chen Xuan’s ear.
Then, Chen Xuan went to the Zhou Trading Company to purchase Mystical Materials, while Chen Yang accompanied him by the side and chatted with Ling You.
Not long after, Chen Xuan returned with the materials and handed the storage bag to Ling You.
Ling You received the storage bag and sensed it for a moment. He then looked at Chen Yang with some doubt,” Chen Clan Leader, you bought too many materials.”
“Not much, not much.” Yang Chen waved his hand and smiled.” It’s mainly because my territory is a little big, so I bought more materials.””
“A little big?” Ling You glanced at the city wall and smiled.”Lord Chen, you are worrying too much. 1 can cover it well even if it’s a little bigger.”
” It’s fine, it’s fine. The rest will be your reward, Senior Ling.””Yang Chen smiled.
Seeing this, Ling You smiled and shook his head. Sigh, I’ve been ordered to come here to engrave an array formation, why must I do this?
Forget it, since he wanted to give spirit stones, he would accept it. He could not let down his good intentions.
A day later, at the pass.
Ling You held onto the pass and panted heavily. Looking at the empty storage pouch, Ling You’s expression froze.” Chen Clan Leader, is your Chen City a little big?”
“This is already as big as five Chen Chengs. Is this still a little big?”
Yang Chen smiled awkwardly.” Just a little. Just a little.””
“Senior Ling, please rest for a while. I’ll send someone to buy some Mystical Materials. We still have a wall that hasn’t been inscribed with formations.”
Upon hearing that there was another wall, Ling You instantly felt his vision go black. He wished he could lie on the ground and not get up no matter who shouted.
Of course, that was just a thought. The most important thing now was to hurry up and inscribe the water-proof array.
After Chen Xuan sent the Mystical Materials over for the second time, Ling You quickly took action. One by one, the Mystical Materials were refined by him and then attached to the city wall.
At the same time, he placed the spirit stones at the various array cores. After doing all this, Ling You took a deep breath.”
“Chen Clan Leader, 1 have completed the Water Repelling Formation. This water-proof formation is activated passively. Once it comes into contact with a large amount of water, it will activate automatically. You don’t have to control it.”
“Alright, I still have other cities to go to, so I won’t delay any longer.”
“Senior Ling, please wait.”
Yang Chen took two steps forward and stuffed a storage pouch into Ling You’s hands.
Ling You looked at the storage bag in his hand and asked in puzzlement,”Chen Clan Leader, what are you doing?”
Yang Chen smiled and said,” Thank you for your hard work today, Senior Ling.
This is a small gift from my Chen Family. Please accept it as a friend.””
Ling You checked his storage pouch and looked at Chen Yang in shock.” Chen Clan Leader, is your Chen Clan really a ninth-rank aristocratic family?”
“There are ten thousand spirit stones in this storage pouch, plus the spirit stones needed for the Water Repellent Array. This time, you won’t be able to get it without seventy thousand spirit stones.”
Yang Chen smiled and said,” 1 have no choice. Since I want to get the highest reward, I naturally have to pay more.””
“So that’s how it is. The Chen Clan Leader still has such ambitions.”
Ling You nodded his head. After which, he looked at the city walls,” Alright then. Since the Chen Clan Lord is so kind, then I, Ling You, will also express my gratitude. How about this, I will help you reinforce the city walls.”
Immediately, Ling You busied himself in Chen City for another day.
According to Ling You, the water-proof array that he had strengthened could already withstand the attacks of Demon Venerables, greatly reducing the drawbacks of the water-proof array.
At the northern gate of Chen City, Ling You turned around and looked at Chen Yang.” Chen Clan Leader, send me here.””
“Senior Ling, 1 still have something to ask Senior Ling.”Yang Chen said.
When Ling You heard this, he subconsciously trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and said,”Oh, tell me.”
“It’s like this. I want to dig out a drainage pipe under Chen City. 1 want to ask Senior if there’s a formation that can stabilize the pipe so that it won’t collapse.”Yang Chen told Ling You about his plan..
