第一百八十六章 布奇阵

Otherwise, exposing too many secrets would inevitably bring about his demise. With the power of Heavenly Fiend Sovereign, he would likely meet a fate where both body and soul were scattered under the joint efforts of the righteous and evil sects. There was no need to mention himself.

Of course, since Lin Xuan had chosen to return to Spirit Medicine Mountain, he naturally wouldn't leave easily. The only way was for him to be more cautious and alert.

For example, setting up an array formation around the area.

This wasn’t something unusual; those pursuing immortality all had their own secrets. Whether it was cultivators or evil practitioners, they usually set up prohibitions near their abodes to prevent others from coveting or intruding.

Lin Xuan used to do this frequently as well.

However, now things were slightly different. Spirit Medicine Mountain appeared calm on the surface, but who knew how many suspicious eyes lurked in the shadows?

If major factions sent spies, their cultivation would definitely not be low. Ordinary array formations and prohibitions were mere decorations for them.

Fortunately, he had obtained a set of new array flags from Heavenly Fiend Sovereign's abode.

The Ultimate Yin Evil Spirit Array!

He spent countless efforts, slowly eroding it with his essence energy over half a month before breaking through the array. This was without anyone controlling it.

If fully activated, this array could confine a Core Formation初期 expert to death. As long as he mastered and set up this array in his own abode, secrets wouldn’t be easily discovered. After all, an old monster at the Core Formation stage would never stoop so low as to become a spy. Even if there were middle or late-stage Core Formation experts inside, the array was sufficient to buy Lin Xuan some time to hide his secrets.

With this in mind, Lin Xuan flipped his hand and a jade green cylinder appeared in his palm.

Using an array formation wasn’t as simple as inserting essence energy into an array talisman. There were many intricacies involved. The contents of the jade cylinder detailed how to set up the Ultimate Yin Evil Spirit Array and its various transformations...

Lin Xuan held it tightly, delving his mind into it.

Soon, several hours passed.

Lin Xuan withdrew his consciousness, picked up a small green flag on his left hand, threw it into the sky, and cast a spell. The small flag began spinning in mid-air, emitting a green mist from within.

Satisfied with the result, Lin Xuan took out other array flags one by one, activating them according to the instructions in the jade cylinder.

Finally, he took out a palm-sized round disk from his storage pouch. A few faint light points could be seen on it. Without hesitation, Lin Xuan pricked his finger and several drops of blood mixed with the spell formula entered the disk...

After a burst of bright light, all the array flags vanished. Lin Xuan retracted the array plate.

Wiping away the sweat from his forehead, setting up this array was indeed not easy. He followed the instructions in the jade cylinder almost word for word.

Fortunately, apart from spending much time, there were no major oversights.

This made Lin Xuan secretly relieved and greatly impressed by the complexity of array formations. This was using existing setup tools; one could only imagine how much effort it took to craft these array plates and flags.

No wonder array masters were rarer in the cultivation world than alchemists.

If given the chance, Lin Xuan would also like to see some array-related techniques, but he wasn’t interested in learning how to set up arrays. He knew his situation well; without a spirit root, reaching this stage was already an achievement. To make greater progress, he needed to focus on cultivation and avoid dabbling in miscellaneous studies.

Lin Xuan didn’t want to delve into array formations or try making array plates and flags himself. His intention was merely to understand them.

Much like alchemy, while Lin Xuan’s ability to refine medicinal pills was abysmal, his knowledge of various elixirs and spirit herbs was extensive.

Just looking at some techniques wouldn’t take much time but would greatly aid his future cultivation path.

Of course, this was just a plan. Implementing it posed significant challenges. As the junior sect leader of Spirit Medicine Mountain, he could freely browse books related to medicinal pills, but those concerning array formations were restricted within the sect. He would have to wait for opportunities in the market to acquire them.

Lin Xuan silently thought about all this.

But regardless, the Ultimate Yin Evil Spirit Array was now set up. With its power, it should protect his secrets from prying eyes.

Moreover, if Spirit Medicine Mountain truly faced a crisis and he returned to his abode, he could still hold out for some time. Once the enemy was trapped by the array, he could slip away.

In short, there were many benefits.

With this array as backup, Lin Xuan felt much more at ease. He no longer had to be on edge like in the previous two days. However, instead of starting his cultivation immediately, he took a few days to rest after bathing.

After all, this journey through Quinei Mountain was already perilous. Both body and mind were extremely fatigued. Upon returning to Spirit Medicine Mountain, he spent time studying cultivation techniques and nurturing spirit beasts without any rest.

Although cultivators far surpassed ordinary people, they still had flesh and blood. Cultivating now would be counterproductive; it might even lead to a spiritual imbalance. Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t do something so foolish.

He wasn’t in a rush for these few days. He needed to rest properly first.

Or he could take a leisurely stroll around Spirit Medicine Mountain, seemingly enjoying the scenery. In reality, Lin Xuan had his own considerations. Even during rest, he didn’t want to waste time idly.

Over these few days, Lin Xuan was observing whether everything at Spirit Medicine Mountain truly remained as it was. After all, one couldn’t judge by appearances alone; often, details held the key.

Sure enough, he noticed some differences. Although there were no signs of high-ranking experts from either side in the vicinity, the number of cultivators coming to Spirit Medicine Mountain for alchemy had tripled recently.

Moreover, these people talked a lot, as if trying to gather information indirectly.
