Chapter 48

In the quiet room, Wen Ling's face was stern, and his eyes were calm as he gazed at the young man before him. At this moment, the young man had his eyes tightly closed, and on his right palm, dark spiritual energy was continuously fluctuating, as if it were forming into shape.

Wen Ling stared at the young man, then after a while, he looked away and sighed softly. It had been a full hour since Mu Chen entered this state, far exceeding his expectations. Generally speaking, if a beginner with some talent in the profession of Spirit Array Master were to first come into contact with Spirit Seal cultivation, they would roughly be able to condense the first Spirit Seal within half an hour. Some with even greater talent could do it even faster.

However, Mu Chen had spent a full hour and still failed to condense the first Spirit Seal. This level of perception could already be described as dull, which made Wen Ling sigh with some regret. He had naturally heard of Mu Chen's astonishing talent in cultivation, but it seemed that this talent did not extend to the profession of Spirit Array Master.

Although he felt regret, Wen Ling had no other thoughts. After all, he had seen this situation too many times. Many geniuses in cultivation were not necessarily geniuses in other fields. The world was still somewhat fair.

Time continued to pass as Wen Ling sighed lightly. After another half an hour, Wen Ling finally saw the young man slowly open his eyes. In his palm, there was still no Spirit Seal condensed, which made him feel a bit incredulous. No matter how dull, it shouldn't be impossible to even condense one, right?

"What's going on? Why haven't you condensed even one Spirit Seal? Were you distracted?" Wen Ling frowned, his expression somewhat stern.

Mu Chen, upon hearing this, shook his head awkwardly and said hesitantly, "It's not that I didn't condense it, but I'm not sure if I did it wrong."

"Did it wrong?" Wen Ling was taken aback.

Mu Chen thought for a moment, then extended his slender palm. Dark light surged in his palm, and dark spiritual energy flickered at his fingertips. Then, Wen Ling saw a Spirit Seal slowly appear.

"Originally, it was successful." Seeing this, Wen Ling let out a slight sigh of relief.

However, just as he was relieved, he saw another Spirit Seal appear at Mu Chen's fingertips...

"Two?" Wen Ling's eyebrows finally twitched.

As Wen Ling's eyebrows twitched, the changes in Mu Chen's hand did not stop. Dark light surged, and another Spirit Seal appeared... After the third Spirit Seal, two more Spirit Seals appeared in succession at Mu Chen's fingertips.

Five Spirit Seals!

Wen Ling stared at the five dark Spirit Seals on Mu Chen's fingertips, his mind seeming to freeze for a moment. His originally stern eyes were filled with disbelief.

He never would have thought that Mu Chen could condense five Spirit Seals on his first try. When he first learned, it took him a full half month to achieve this. The more Spirit Seals there were, the harder it was to condense them.

Seeing Wen Ling's stunned expression, Mu Chen scratched his head. The Spirit Seals in his palm fluctuated and then dissipated in disorder. He said sheepishly, "Did I do it wrong?"

Although he had not been exposed to the knowledge of Spirit Array Masters, he knew how difficult it was to cultivate in this profession. When he first condensed the Spirit Seals, he did not feel any difficulty at all. It felt like water flowing naturally, even smoother than his usual cultivation. This made him somewhat surprised and a bit doubtful about whether he had made a mistake in condensing the Spirit Seals. Otherwise, how could it be so smooth?

Wen Ling gradually came to his senses. His eyes were still fixed on Mu Chen's palm, and he moved his mouth, saying, "S...shouldn't have done it wrong."

As the words left his mouth, he realized his voice was a bit dry. He immediately cleared his throat and recovered, "It seems you have a good talent for Spirit Array Masters."

Hearing this, Mu Chen let out a sigh of relief. So, it wasn't wrong.

"Cough... Although you have a good talent in this, don't be arrogant or complacent. A true Spirit Array Master is not achieved by talent alone." Wen Ling resumed his stern expression.

"Mr. Wen is right." Mu Chen was enlightened. Wen Ling glanced at the young man and saw that his black eyes were calm like a deep pool, showing no trace of the arrogance and self-satisfaction typical of a young person. This made him finally praise the young man in his heart. This little guy would eventually surpass his father and reach an astonishing height.

The Domain Lord Mu Feng has a remarkable son.

"The Spirit Seals you condensed are numerous, but the spiritual energy is scattered and not condensed, so they dissipate quickly. Such Spirit Seals cannot be used to set up spirit arrays."

Perhaps it was Mu Chen's humble and diligent learning attitude that made Wen Ling's stern face soften a bit. Originally, he had only been teaching Mu Chen out of a sense of duty, but now, he was moved by Mu Chen's talent and attitude, developing a love for talent.

Mu Chen looked thoughtful and then nodded. The spiritual energy in these Spirit Seals was indeed too scattered.

"In the coming days, focus on condensing Spirit Seals. When you can condense these five Spirit Seals and disperse them at will, I can teach you how to set up some beginner spirit arrays."

"Come, continue condensing, and I will explain the details you need to pay attention to during the process..."

"Thank you, Mr. Wen!"

"......"

The afternoon passed quickly. As dusk fell, Wen Ling looked at the young man still immersed in condensing Spirit Seals and smiled with satisfaction. He then stood up and quietly left the room.

Wen Ling went to the back hall and found Mu Feng in the meeting room, talking with Zhou Ye.

"Hehe, Mr. Wen, how is that kid doing? Does he have talent in this?" Mu Feng asked eagerly when he saw Wen Ling. If Mu Chen didn't have this talent, wouldn't it be useless to inherit only his abilities?

"Congratulations, Domain Lord." Wen Ling bowed, a smile appearing on his stern face. "The young master's talent in this is no less than his cultivation talent. At this rate, he might complete the beginner course within ten days."

Hearing this, Mu Feng let out a sigh of relief and grinned. This kid was indeed striving, not disgracing his mother.

"Mu Chen's talent is truly astonishing. It seems it's only a matter of time before he surpasses you," Zhou Ye's stern face also softened, and he smiled at Mu Feng.

"Of course, who's his son?" Mu Feng smiled proudly, even happier than when he occasionally gained the upper hand against the Liu Domain.

"By the way, has there been any movement from the Liu Domain?" Mu Feng changed the subject.

"There has been some movement. Our spies report that many experts are gathering in Liu City. It seems the Liu Domain is making secret preparations," Zhou Ye replied.

"Um."

Mu Feng nodded, his eyes narrowing, looking sharp.

"Keep a close eye on them. Once they move, we will move immediately. Heh, we can't let them have the Netherworld Sparrow!"

...

Days passed, and Mu Chen devoted most of his time to condensing Spirit Seals. He had recently advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Movement Realm. Although he could try to advance to the Spirit Wheel Realm with the help of Spirit Essence Pills and the remaining Jade Spirit Fruits, he rationally abandoned this approach. This was the time to lay a solid foundation. If he pursued speed too much, it might be counterproductive.

Condensing Spirit Seals also helped him practice controlling spiritual energy, so it was a win-win.

With Mu Chen's diligent cultivation, in just five days, he had completely condensed the five Spirit Seals, and they no longer dissipated due to uneven distribution of spiritual energy.

When Wen Ling saw Mu Chen condense the five Spirit Seals, he was amazed, but his expression remained unchanged. He began to teach Mu Chen how to set up spirit arrays as promised.

At this point, Mu Chen could feel how difficult it was to set up spirit arrays. Even though he seemed to have considerable talent in this, he still failed repeatedly when trying to set up a small spirit array, which didn't even qualify as a first-level spirit array.

Wen Ling, however, took his failures in stride. If Mu Chen could set up a small spirit array in just a few days, it would be underestimating the profession of Spirit Array Master. That's why there were so few Spirit Array Masters in the Northern Spirit Region.

However, in these repeated failures, Mu Chen began to grasp some of the essentials. By the afternoon of the fifteenth day, he finally successfully set up a small spirit array.
