Chapter 94

"Alright." Bu Zheng nodded. Looking at the relationship between Li Zhi and Chen Yong, he didn’t dare to say no to Li Zhi, let alone that drawing an array formation was not a difficult task.

Thus, Bu Zheng quickly took out a charcoal pen and drew a complete array diagram on the ground. At this moment, he didn’t know that this array diagram was the one Li Zhi had been pursuing all along.

"This, this... Indeed, it’s the Dragon Roaming Array. Indeed, it’s that one. Young brother, where did you learn about this Dragon Roaming Array?" Li Zhi looked at Bu Zheng, his attitude different from before, and even his address had changed.

"What Dragon Roaming Array?" Bu Zheng asked, puzzled. He didn’t know what this array formation was called, and he didn’t know the names of most array formations unless someone had told him after he had seen them.

"The array formation you drew." Li Zhi pointed to the array formation on the ground.

"This? I saw it in a book." Bu Zheng said.

"What book? Can I borrow it to take a look?" Li Zhi looked at Bu Zheng with urgency, his eyes saying, if you don’t let me see it, I’ll die for you to see.

"No problem." Bu Zheng responded and took out the wordless secret manual from his ring, then handed it to Li Zhi.

For Bu Zheng, this secret manual was given to him for free, and he didn’t think it had any special value. He considered it similar to the secret manuals sold on street stalls.

If it wasn’t, why would someone give it to him?

"Without any words, but this array formation is indeed recorded here. No wonder you don’t know the name of the Dragon Roaming Array." After flipping through the book, Li Zhi discovered its peculiarities.

At this moment, Li Zhi naturally assumed that Bu Zheng might have copied the array formation from the book. Such an array formation book was impossible for anyone to understand, even he couldn’t, and naturally, Bu Zheng couldn’t either.

However, this secret manual was quite valuable, containing some complete array formations. Although he couldn’t understand some of them, perhaps he would in the future.

As someone who studied array formations, encountering such a secret manual meant he would collect it, even if he couldn’t understand it. It might be useful in the future, as long as the price was right.

"I wouldn’t know even if there were words. I can’t read." Bu Zheng scratched the back of his head, a bit embarrassed.

"Ah, I see. Then can you let me have this book?" Li Zhi was even more certain that Bu Zheng could draw the array formation not because he understood it, but because he had copied it from the book. In that case, keeping the secret manual with Bu Zheng would be a waste.

"No, this is the only book I have to read. I can’t give it to you." Bu Zheng shook his head. His usual pastime was reading this book, and he couldn’t let it be taken away. Besides, he still had some array formations he didn’t understand, and each time he read it, he felt he gained something, so he wouldn’t give it to anyone.

"..." Li Zhi fell silent. As a senior and someone with a much higher status than Bu Zheng, how could he decently take Bu Zheng’s things? But he really liked this book, especially because it contained the array formation he needed, which he definitely wanted to study.

"That... Bu Zheng, right!" Chen Yong finally remembered Bu Zheng’s name. "The person in front of you is no ordinary person. He is from the Spirit Treasure Sect, a Yellow-level force. If you give him the secret manual in your hand, he will definitely give you some benefits."

"Sure, what do you want?" Li Zhi nodded, echoing Chen Yong’s words.

"I want many things, but I also like this book. I want to be able to see it whenever I want, or you can exchange it with other similar books." Bu Zheng thought for a moment and proposed two conditions.

"I have such books, but can you understand them?" Li Zhi said with a hint of disdain. Your meaning is that you want to follow me, I see you are quite smart.

Bu Zheng’s first condition was to give the book to Li Zhi but still be able to see it whenever he wanted, which meant he would have to be with Li Zhi. This was a good idea, moving from a minor force to a Yellow-level force. Although he wasn’t recruited for his talent, for a miscellaneous disciple like him, it didn’t matter how he entered, as long as he could be in a Yellow-level force, it would be much better than here.

Bu Zheng hadn’t considered this. If he had, he would have said it directly. He even thought that if he could follow Li Zhi, he wouldn’t have to worry about safety issues and could earn more money in the future, as the benefits in a Yellow-level force were definitely better than in the Green Cloud Sword Sect.

"I know some array formations. When Brother Laifu taught me alchemy, I learned some." Bu Zheng said.

"Alchemy?" Li Zhi hesitated for a moment but quickly remembered that alchemy indeed required some array formations. Array formations had a wide range of uses, and future martial techniques would also require them. However, in a Yellow-level force, only a few top-tier forces used array formations in their martial techniques.

"What kind of pills can you refine?" Li Zhi asked.

"Qi-refining pills, detoxifying pills..." Bu Zheng began to answer. These were basic pills, and the ones he had created himself, whose names he didn’t know, he wouldn’t mention. Li Zhi didn’t let him finish either.

"These are the simplest pills. Can’t you refine the Yuan-cultivating pills?" Li Zhi asked. The Yuan-cultivating pills were what he wanted. Yellow-level forces generally used Yuan-cultivating pills, and he had a great demand for them, mainly to support his subordinates.

"No, I haven’t learned." Bu Zheng shook his head.

"Haven’t learned?" Li Zhi was a bit puzzled. What did it mean to not have learned? Was it that he would learn if he studied, or did he lack the talent to learn?

"Old boy, you might not know, but our Green Cloud Sword Sect’s Alchemy Peak is just a facade. It’s good that this kid learned to refine Qi-refining pills. He’s only been a disciple for less than a year." Chen Yong said. He was quite familiar with the Green Cloud Sword Sect, even with the small Alchemy Peak.

At the same time, Bu Zheng’s time as a disciple was something he already knew. Although he couldn’t remember Bu Zheng’s name at the moment, he knew that among the miscellaneous disciples who came this time, Bu Zheng was the youngest and had been a disciple for the shortest time.

"Let me see your alchemy techniques, just the movements." Li Zhi thought for a moment. Generally, the mastery and application of techniques were the most important in alchemy. If Bu Zheng’s techniques were good, it meant he could continue to learn and would easily learn to refine Yuan-cultivating pills.

Bu Zheng demonstrated his techniques. Although his control couldn’t be seen, at least his proficiency could. For a relatively low-level pill like the Yuan-cultivating pill, it didn’t matter too much.
