Xie Miaobo had no reason to refuse, and immediately asked about the quality of the magic contained within the yellow jade Buddhist beads, so he could explain to others when he made the transaction.

When Xie Miaobo heard that Liou Yuan was selling the magic inheritance of the Lion’s Roar Spell, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "Is it the Lion’s Roar Spell that shook off Qiu Ming back then?"

"Yes!" Liou Yuan’s Lion’s Roar Spell had already achieved great success and could be said to have been practiced to its utmost, so there was no reason to hide it.

"It really is that magic!" Xie Miaobo had witnessed Liou Yuan using the Lion’s Roar Spell more than once.

The power of the Lion’s Roar Spell was still vividly remembered by Xie Miaobo, and he had been coveting it for a long time.

After confirming that the inheritance hidden within the yellow jade Buddhist beads Liou Yuan wanted to sell was indeed the Lion’s Roar Spell, Xie Miaobo became invigorated and quickly said, "Mr. Liou, you don’t need to find anyone else. I’ll take this yellow jade Buddhist bead."

"You?" Liou Yuan looked suspiciously at Xie Miaobo, whose face was full of anticipation, as he didn’t think Xie Miaobo could afford it.

Xie Miaobo’s handsome face blushed, and he explained, "With my financial resources, I definitely can’t afford it, but if I seek help from family elders, they might be able to subsidize me somewhat."

It was then that Liou Yuan remembered Xie Miaobo’s identity as a second-generation cultivator.

Although the Xie Family wasn’t exactly a great family, it was only slightly inferior to Qiu Ming’s family, and coming up with the money to purchase the yellow jade Buddhist beads shouldn’t be a big problem.

"Alright, if Mr. Xie wants it, I’ll give you a discount of two achievement points, 23 achievement points in total." Liou Yuan nodded casually.

"Give me a few days until I’ve raised enough money."

Xie Miaobo acted swiftly, bid farewell to Liou Yuan, and immediately walked out of the Fifth Peak.

"Finally managed to sell these yellow jade Buddhist beads."

Watching the departing figure of Xie Miaobo, Liou Yuan smiled contentedly, hands behind his back, leisurely walking towards his cave dwelling on Fifth Peak.

The high-grade Spiritual Sword already had a destination.

For the next month, Liou Yuan planned to return to his cave dwelling to thoroughly study "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation," and "Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects," both of which would be helpful in enhancing his strength.

"Hmph hmph, in this Outer Sect training, I must get into the top three." Liou Yuan’s determined voice echoed along the path he traversed.

There were indeed many like Liou Yuan preparing for this Outer Sect training.

The closer it got to the time of the Outer Sect training, the better talismans, magical artifacts, and such items that could quickly raise the strength of Outer Sect disciples sold on Five Extremes Mountain.

This caused the sales of talismans and magical artifacts to soar for a while, with even prices hiked by two to three tenths.

Yet it couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of those Outer Sect disciples.

The summer heat was unbearable, and the midday sun scorched fiercely. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The waters flowed gently, sometimes surging, creating layers of white spray at stones and shallows, producing a crisp and pleasant sound,

sometimes flowing smoothly, quietly reflecting the lush trees on both banks and the sapphire-like blue sky.

On both sides of the river, sturdy ancient trees rose from the ground, their dense branches interwoven intricately.

Liou Yuan sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone at the river’s edge; this position was just under the shadow of the trees growing by the riverbank, shielding him from the scorching sun.

In the shadow, Liou Yuan focused intently, forming hand seals.

A faint golden aura flickered between his two fingers.

Under the control of his hand seals, the Profound Brilliance Sword hovered five zhang ahead of him, spinning in mid-air with a bumpy movement trajectory.

Liou Yuan was exerting all his strength, yet the Profound Brilliance Sword could not speed up.

He had to make efforts to keep the Profound Brilliance Sword as steady as possible without hoping for any significant speed.

"Don’t rush, take it slow!" Liou Yuan muttered words of comfort to himself.

It was the tenth day of practicing the "Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects," and getting the Profound Brilliance Sword to fly was already quite an achievement.

Of course, the current speed of the Profound Brilliance Sword was definitely not possible to use in actual combat against an enemy.

Even wild dogs in the mountains could easily dodge an attack at Liou Yuan’s speed.

Fortunately, Liou Yuan fully understood the principle that haste makes waste.

Over and over again, tirelessly practicing the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects with the Profound Brilliance Sword, for half a day at a stretch.

By the time most of the external heat had dissipated, Liou Yuan controlled the Profound Brilliance Sword clumsily to cut towards the bare stone-and-mud flat on the riverbank.

Poof! With the characteristics of the Profound Brilliance Sword, Liou Yuan easily left a crooked mark on the riverbank.

Then Liou Yuan began drawing on the riverbank starting from the mark he made.

As one mark after another took form, the lines connected with each other, ultimately forming a pattern similar to an array on the riverbank.

It was a basic array recorded in "Five Elements Birth and Destruction Array Derivation," called the Water Gathering Array.

It functions to absorb water flow and store water sources, and in battle, it has almost no threat.

Or rather, this array isn’t meant for offensive purposes.

But for practicing array formations, Liou Yuan found it to be an ideal choice.

This location by the river perfectly suited the setup of the Water Gathering Array. freewebnσvel.cøm

However, the array was drawn by Liou Yuan using the Artifact Control Skill to maneuver the Profound Brilliance Sword.

It could be said that the array lines were carved quite crudely, with many mistakes in different places.

Liou Yuan was not worried, patiently controlling the Profound Brilliance Sword to smooth out the errant strokes and redraw the new array pattern.

A simple Water Gathering Array took Liou Yuan two hours to complete.

When the last stroke of the Water Gathering Array’s array pattern was finished, the array prototype, spanning two zhang, took form abruptly.

By this time, almost all of Liou Yuan’s spiritual power had been exhausted.

Liou Yuan drooped his head, sitting on the bluestone with a wry smile. He turned his head to gaze at the sunset almost set into the horizon and said with emotion, "Am I being too ambitious, practicing both the Celestial Calculation Skill for Taming Objects and arrays simultaneously?"

"Sooner or later, I’ll work myself to death."
