“Yes, I am. Here’s my badge.” Yuan showed her the Array Master’s badge.
“Thank you very much, Senior Array Master. If you’re looking for a specific array combination or anything specific, just let me know.”
Yuan then said, “Then I would like an array combination for sealed spatial rings and storage pouches.”
“Just for confirmation, arrays that remove sealed spatial rings and storage pouches, is that correct?” She asked.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I understand. Please follow me.”
Yuan and the others followed this woman to a counter. She picked out a couple of manuals from under the desk and laid them out before him.
“Are all of these…?” Yuan raised his eyebrows, as he didn’t expect there to be so many array combinations for the same purpose.
“All of these array combinations are for unsealing spatial rings and storage pouches, but they all have different strengths. One can have a higher chance of success while another one can be easier to use. It all depends on the array combination.”
“Which of these have the highest success rate?” Yuan asked.
“That would be this one— the Absolute Unsealing Array, but it’s a level 3 array combination.”
Since Yuan is only a level 2 Array Master, he would not be able to use the level 3 array combination, so it wouldn’t make sense for him to buy it.
“Okay, I will take that. And do you also have manuals for level 2 and level 3 array symbols?”
“Of course. Give me a moment…”
The woman reached under the desk for two more manuals.
“7,000 Intermediate Array Symbols and 5,000 Advanced Array Symbols.” Yuan read the titles, which surprised him a little, as he’d expected the number of array symbols to go up the more difficult they got.
“How much for these three manuals?” Yuan asked the woman a moment later.
“That would be Fifteen million gold, but since you’re a Level 2 Array Master, you have a 25 percent discount when buying from the Array Masters’ Association. The new total will be 11,250,000 gold coins.”
“E-Eleven million gold coins even with a discount…?” Yuan was speechless. He didn’t think array combinations were this expensive.
“Brother Yuan, here.” Xiao Hua suddenly handed him a storage pouch.
“What is this?” He asked.
“It’s the money that we’ve saved from the auction house. There should be more than enough money to buy the manuals,” she said.
Yuan’s eyes flickered with excitement.
“I almost forgot about this money! Are you sure, Xiao Hua? The money is still technically yours.”
She nodded, “Anything that helps Brother Yuan is worth it.”
“Thank you, Xiao Hua.”
Yuan proceeded to pay for the three manuals using the money they’d earned from selling Xiao Hua’s Heaven-grade treasure at some auction house.
“Here is your purchase. Thank you for doing business with us, Senior Array Master.” The woman offered the manuals to him with her head lowered.
After accepting the manuals, Yuan left the Array Masters’ Association and went to rent out a new hotel room in the city.
“I am going to spend a few days studying these manuals. You guys can do whatever until then.” Yuan said to the others.
“Okay. I am also going to study the techniques I just got.” Chu Liuxiang said.
“I’m going to cultivate. If you need me, don’t hesitate to call for me.” Min Li said before entering one of the four rooms in that hotel room.
Chu Liuxiang also went into her own room.
Yuan remained in the living room, and he placed the three manuals on the table before him.
“I should probably start with the level 2 array symbols…”
Thus, Yuan began flipping through the manual, spending the rest of today and tomorrow memorizing all 7,000 level 2 array symbols.
Two days later, Yuan placed the level 2 array symbols to the side and began studying level 3 array symbols.
Even though there were less array symbols in total compared to the other 2, it took Yuan almost four days to completely memorize all 5,000 level 3 array symbols.
Of course, four days may seem like a lot of time, but for ordinary Array Masters, it would take them years if not decades to achieve the same results.
After memorizing all array symbols up to level 3, Yuan moved onto the Absolute Unsealing Array.
A couple of minutes later, he understood everything.
“Before I use this array on the Gu Family’s spatial rings, I want to experiment it on other spatial rings just in case I mess up. Do any of you have any unused spatial rings or storage pouches?” Yuan asked them.
“I have a couple, Young Master.”
Feng Yuxiang appeared beside him with a dozen storage pouches and six spatial rings.
“They should all have my seal on it. They are also empty, so you don’t have to worry about destroying them,” she said.
“Thank you… but why do you have so many of these? People normally only carry one or two, right?”
“I have a lot of treasures to store because of my business. That’s all.”
“I see…”
Yuan began inspecting the spatial rings and storage pouches the next moment.
Half a minute later, Yuan began creating level 3 array symbols in the air.
He created exactly 50 level 3 array symbols, which he combined into a complete array, before sending it directly inside Feng Yuxiang’s spatial ring.
Yuan inspected the spatial ring again afterward, and sure enough, Feng Yuxiang’s aura that was present just moments ago was no longer there, almost as though it’d vanished.
“I think I succeeded. Can you take a look at it for me?” Yuan handed the spatial ring back to Feng Yuxiang.
She nodded with a smile, “Yes, good job, Young Master. You have erased my seal perfectly.”
“Great. Then can you reseal it again so that I can continue practicing until I am confident? I want to be absolutely certain that I can open them perfectly.”
“Most certainly, Young Master.” Feng Yuxiang said as she sealed the spatial ring with her spiritual energy.
