"Laifu taught me, he taught me a lot of things," Bu Zheng replied, "You should go in and try it out."

"Oh... what am I supposed to do inside?" Xiu Ying nodded, then became wary of Bu Zheng's array formation. Is this kid trying to trick me?

"Go in and see if you feel more spiritual energy, and how much it differs from your side," Bu Zheng said.

"It's a lot more? Are you mistaken? It should be a lot less, right?" Bu Zheng asked in confusion. He had little confidence in himself. When he asked Xiu Ying to try it, he directly asked how much it differed. He wanted to know the gap between them, feeling that he still had a lot to catch up on.

"No mistake, the feeling here is stronger than where I am, maybe because there are too many people there," Xiu Ying shook her head and then gave a more plausible reason. She absolutely did not believe that Bu Zheng's array formation skills were so high, even surpassing those who set up the sect's formations.

Bu Zheng's knowledge of array formations already surprised her greatly. Just knowing it was enough to shock her. So she asked Bu Zheng where he learned it from.

"Array formations are used in alchemy, so Laifu taught me, and I also learned from this book," Bu Zheng took out the array formation manual with no text.

"Learned from it, can you understand it?" Xiu Ying took the book, flipped through it, "This, can you really understand it? There are no words on it, right, you can only understand it because there are no words."

At this moment, Xiu Ying did not take it seriously, as she was not very familiar with array formations. No matter how capable Bu Zheng was, she could not feel it.

"I can't understand it, I know what the drawings are, but I don't know what they are for. I need to experiment to find out, and there are still some I don't understand," Bu Zheng said honestly. He did not realize that being able to understand some of it was already quite incredible.

"So you only understand a little. But you don't need to understand too much, this is enough. I will cultivate here from now on, it's better to be alone than in a group," Xiu Ying said. She later believed that Bu Zheng's array formation was better than the Yan Yun Manor's because it was for one person, and she did not think it was a big deal.

However, she kept this very secret, not letting others know. Perhaps it was selfish, as she wanted to monopolize this benefit, even keeping it from her closest sisters.

"Right, it must be because it's for one person. Alright, you can start reading that manual to me now," Bu Zheng nodded, agreeing with this idea. He did not think his was better than others, as others could be used by many people, while his was for one person. This might be the difference.

However, he only needed this much. In the future, he could draw an array formation when cultivating. Ideally, he would find a way to carry a spirit-gathering array formation with him, but this was just an idea, and he would research it when he had the time and conditions.

"Alright, I forgot about this. The Guizhuan Heart Method, it has seven sections, and the highest level is... six... six... six meridians? No way, is this real?" When Xiu Ying opened the first page and read the introduction, she was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Bu Zheng was not very clear about the level of this heart method, so he was confused.

"You don't know, the highest level of martial arts in our Qingyun Sword Sect is the five meridians. This can reach the six meridians, which is at least a six-star martial art, if it's real!" Xiu Ying looked at the Guizhuan Heart Method in her hand, expressing doubt. This was something Bu Zheng had found, and it was a six-star martial art, and a heart method at that, which seemed almost impossible.

However, today she seemed to encounter many impossibilities, so perhaps this impossibility was also possible.

"We can practice and see," Bu Zheng replied casually. He did not know if this heart method could be practiced casually. If it had flaws or was fake, it could lead to a mental breakdown at any time.

At this moment, Xiu Ying was also a beginner. Despite not knowing if it was real, she actually started practicing. Fortunately, the Guizhuan Heart Method was real and far superior to the Qingyun Sword Sect's heart method.

"Right, I'll read the first few sections to you, listen..." Xiu Ying continued reading. She knew Bu Zheng had a good memory and could remember most of it after one listen, but she could not understand why he could not recognize characters and did not understand some of the text.

"..." Bu Zheng listened to the first section, which was about basic cultivation techniques. He could understand some of it and realized he might have taken the wrong path. Others would cultivate two meridians simultaneously after completing one.

However, knowing this now was useless, as he had already completed his cultivation and needed to start cultivating two meridians at once.

The more he listened, the more confused he became, especially after the later sections. He could not understand concepts like "humility" and "refining the void into spirit," and the incantations left him completely lost.

"Alright, you practice on your own. I'll give you this book, I'll practice my own," Bu Zheng finally gave up. He did not want to memorize the text, as it felt like a waste of time, since he could not understand it.

"Give it to me?" Xiu Ying was stunned, but then she thought that Bu Zheng had planned to read the manual to her, which meant he was sharing it with her, essentially giving it to her.

"Right, I'll give it to you. I don't need it, and I can't understand it. If you figure it out, tell me," Bu Zheng nodded, not caring much. He prepared to look at the array formation book again, feeling that array formations were really useful. The spirit-gathering array formation he had just used was only temporary and needed some improvements.

"Even if I tell you, you won't understand..." Xiu Ying gritted her teeth. It was always like this. If he could be taught, Bu Zheng would not have just started cultivating. Wait, started cultivating?

"Right, how did you learn it last time?" Xiu Ying suddenly remembered this.

"My wife taught me. She guided the energy flow within me, and I learned it," Bu Zheng replied.

"Guiding, that is indeed a method, but it's not easy. I can't do it yet, even if I learn it, I'll have to teach you later," Xiu Ying ignored the "wife" part, but the method Bu Zheng mentioned was feasible. If he could not understand, she would have to guide him personally.

The problem was, guiding was not something that could be done easily. It required a high level of skill to achieve.
