Chapter 161: Chapter 161: How about… this solution to the formation? (4 more)
Translator: 549690339
Chang Zhu’s brows also relaxed, clearly having found a solution as well.
Apart from the two of them, probably only three or five others had managed to solve the formation.
The rest were all at their wits’ end.
Yuan Yunxin reviewed the solutions submitted by everyone.
They were basically all acceptable.
Among them, Pan Yin’s solution was the most convenient one!
Therefore, Yuan Yunxin couldn’t help but give Pan Yin a few extra glances.
Knowing that this young girl was the widely known formation genius, Pan Yin couldn’t help but smile smugly.
Then he saw Song Yi in the distance, frowning deeply, and couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle before strolling over.
“Master,” he said, “are you stumped by this formation problem?”
Song Yi’s face grew increasingly unsightly.
Chang Xiaoxiao also came over and deliberately said, “Uncle Master Pan, you are so amazing, solving the formation problem so quickly!”
Laughing heartily, Pan Yin said, “How could such a thing ever stump me? It’s just that some people are getting on in years and can’t keep up with the times, so they can’t solve it. I advise these people to go home and hug their grandchildren as soon as possible!”
Song Yi’s face turned ashen.
But there was nothing he could do about an unsolvable formation problem, and hence he had no way to retaliate.
Watching from a distance, Yuan Yunxin couldn’t help but shake her head slightly.
She knew of Song Yi’s fame.
But being famous didn’t mean being capable.
The formation problem required a strong understanding of formations and Feng Shui arts.
At that moment, Xue An gave a faint smile.
“Master, what’s wrong? Don’t you always assign me such problems as regular homework? What’s so difficult about it?”
At his words, Pan Yin and Chang Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but snicker.
“Regular homework? What a joke. You probably can’t even understand such a problem, let alone solve it, especially when your own teacher is clueless!” Chang Xiaoxiao mocked.
Xue An gave Chang Xiaoxiao a faint glance, causing her smile to freeze.
Because Xue An’s gaze was ice-cold.
It was as if it could freeze the soul.
Then Xue An picked up a pen and, with a few swift strokes, finished writing.
Pan Yin dismissed it with a sneer, “That’s it? You’re not just going to write a solution, are you? Haha!”
Xue An ignored him and handed the paper to Song Yi.
Upon seeing it, Song Yi’s whole body jolted, and then his eyes lit up.
The most difficult part of this formation problem was actually the transformation of thought; once you had an approach, the rest would be simple!
Thus, Song Yi also wrote with a flying pen and quickly completed the answer.
Yuan Yunxin had heard the dispute and couldn’t help walking over at a measured pace.
Initially, she didn’t pay much attention to it because she, like Pan Yin, thought the same.
Such a formation problem, no matter how one went about solving it, would require a lengthy process.
How could Xue An have finished writing with just a few swift strokes?
But when her gaze fell upon Xue An’s paper, she was stunned.
Seeing Yuan Yunxin’s stunned reaction, Pan Yin, Chang Xiaoxiao, and the others were baffled.
What had happened? Why did the genius young girl of the Yuan family seem as if she had gone into a daze?
Only Xue An smiled faintly, “This solution to the formation… what do you think?”
Yuan Yunxin’s entire body shook as she came to her senses from immense astonishment, and her heart seemed to be hit by tremendous waves.
Because on the formation problem, Xue An had simply marked a few spots and written down the method to break it.
Yet it was such a simple solution that seemed to open a door for her, enlightening her suddenly.
Could the formation problem be solved this way? How had she been so foolish not to see it before?
Then she quickly looked over Song Yi’s answer.
Compared to Xue An’s concise and clear solution, Song Yi’s solution seemed much more cumbersome and complex!
Ming Ruifeng too had now approached.
“Sister Yunxin, what’s the matter?”
Yuan Yunxin took a deep breath and shook her head, “Nothing, I just find this gentleman’s solution quite creative, I was a bit shocked for a moment!”
This statement made the smiles disappear from Pan Yin and Chang Xiaoxiao’s faces.
How could it be possible?
Did he really solve it?
Then Yuan Yunxin bowed very respectfully towards Xue An and Song Yi.
“Mr. Song truly lives up to his reputation, the disciple he has taught is also stunningly talented, Yunxin admires you!”
With that, the whole place was shaken.
Yuan Yunxin is one of the most dazzling stars in the world of Feng Shui and Ritual Arts, as well as the Martial Arts World in recent years.
Not only did she become famous for her cultivation level, but she also gained worldwide recognition with her vast and complex knowledge, along with her exquisite and meticulous reasoning in formations, even making many well-established seniors feel inferior.
This was also why the Ming Family did not hesitate to collaborate with the Yuan Family to invite Yuan Yunxin.
Song Yi felt a bit ashamed inside, because he was very aware that if it weren’t for Mr. Xue’s intervention, he wouldn’t have been able to solve the puzzle at all.
But Xue An just smiled lightly and nodded, “No need to be polite, that you have conducted such research on formations is indeed commendable, consider this a gift to you!”
Xue An’s such casual and superior tone made Ming Ruifeng frown slightly.
Many people couldn’t help feeling that Xue An was too arrogant.
But Yuan Yunxin sincerely said, “Thank you very much!”
Only Yuan Yunxin knew how significant the gift Xue An had given her was!
It could even be said to have given her boundless developmental potential!
Pan Yin’s face turned ashen; in his view, the only reason for Xue An’s prowess had to be that Song Yi taught him his most secret and powerful skills.
Thinking of this, Pan Yin couldn’t help but seethe with rage.
Hmph, sooner or later I will let you know just how formidable I am! Pan Yin thought to himself.
The banquet ended.
Those who had failed to solve the puzzle all sighed and dissipated.
Xue An and a few others did not leave, but were instead led by Ming Ruifeng to an inner chamber.
After a while, Ming Canghai walked in.
He seemed very pleased, starting with some polite remarks before his tone shifted.
“All of you are the top experts in Feng Shui Numerology, what do you think about the puzzle just now?”
Everyone looked at each other, and Pan Yin was the first to say, “Very difficult!”
Ming Canghai nodded, “What else?”
Everyone hesitated for a moment, only Xue An casually played with his fingers while indifferently saying, “This puzzle… should be derived from an Immortal Array, shouldn’t it?”
The voice was not loud, but it was like a thunderous revelation.
Everyone was startled.
Only Ming Canghai clapped and laughed heartily, “Indeed worthy of being Mr. Song’s outstanding disciple, that’s right, this is a formation left by an Immortal!”
Immortal’s legacy?
That name left everyone present full of puzzled looks.
Only Chang Zhu was visibly shocked, exclaimed in a lost voice, “Could it be that the legends are true?”
Yuan Yunxin at that moment casually said, “Yes, the legends are indeed true, the Immortal’s legacy does exist, and it is now in Xiangjiang Harbour!”
The room fell into dead silence.
The Immortal’s legacy!
This is something left by an Immortal!
Immortal, ah!
How long has it been since traces of Immortals appeared in this world?
Even immortality has become rare!
The eyes of many slowly reddened.
If one could seize an Immortal’s treasure, wouldn’t it be like ascending to heaven in a single step?
