Chapter 117: Rest Well For The Next Few Days, I’ll Teach You The Dao of Array Formations Sometime Later

In Qingyun Mountain Range, the mountains were steep and the rocks were odd-shaped.

Wang Zhuoyu was in a good mood.

He had passed the preliminary array formation master assessment.

He would be able to take the final assessment next month.

As long as he passed the final assessment, he would be able to become a qualified array formation master.

In the future, he would be able to earn at least seven or eight Spirit Stones for every array formation he set up for others. If he met a wealthy customer, he might even be remunerated with more than ten Spirit Stones.

Besides, there were also rules in the Qingyun Dao Sect where 60% of each individual’s earnings would have to be given to the sect. Ten years after accomplishing success in learning, one would be able to keep 60% of their earnings while returning only 40% to the sect.

At the thought of this, Wang Zhuoyu’s mood got even better.

After all, he had been sulking all day lately and didn’t have a single tael of gold with him at all, let alone Spirit Stones. This time, Daoist Tai Hua was kind enough to give him 20 taels of gold for allowance when he went down the mountain.

Hence, Wang Zhuoyu was full of anticipation for his future.

However, when he went up the mountain, he was shocked to see a familiar figure.

‘Is that Ye Ping?’

Wang Zhuoyu was shocked.

‘Hasn’t Ye Ping already gone to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet? Why is he back so soon?’

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but call out loudly.

“Is it you, Ye Ping?”

As Wang Zhuoyu’s voice sounded, Ye Ping, who was distracted, was suddenly shocked.

He was standing on the mountain and perhaps because he was too eager to return to the sect, he didn’t realize that there was a person in the distance.

Ye Ping looked overjoyed as soon as he turned around.

“Senior Brother Wang!”

Ye Ping was a little surprised and gleeful. It had been more than two months since he saw his Senior Brothers so he naturally missed them.

Ye Ping hurriedly walked over and stood in front of Wang Zhuoyu.

“Little Junior Brother, didn’t you go to Qingzhou Ancient City? Why are you back so early? Where’s Eldest Senior Brother?”

Wang Zhuoyu was a little curious and his main concern was where Su Changyu had gone.

“After the Sword Dao Meet ended, Eldest Senior Brother left. I don’t know where he went, he probably returned to the sect long ago. Senior Brother Wang, where did you come from?”

Ye Ping was in an extremely good mood. He had been rushing through the city for four days straight and now that he had finally returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect and met Wang Zhuoyu, he was somehow in a much better mood.

“Oh, Little Junior Brother, I went out to run some errands. Let’s walk while we talk.”

Wang Zhuoyu was in high spirits.

“Which place did you come in for the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet this time?”

Wang Zhuoyu casually asked.

“Um…”

Ye Ping pondered for a while as he didn’t know what to say. It was fine to say that he had come in second place, but the issue was that he didn’t fight in the last round and the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet was canceled because of the matter of the Fiendcelestial Cult.

Hence, he was at a loss for words.

Seeing that Ye Ping was staying silent for a long time, Wang Zhuoyu immediately understood what was going on.

He reckoned that Ye Ping was too embarrassed to answer because he didn’t get a good ranking.

At the thought of this, Wang Zhuoyu patted Ye Ping’s shoulder and said slowly, “Ye Ping, cultivating the Sword Dao is indeed tough, but don’t be dejected. When you return to the sect, rest for a few days. After that, I’ll teach you the Dao of array formations.”

Wang Zhuoyu said confidently.

He had been focusing all his attention on the array formation assessment and had no idea what happened in Qingzhou at all. Hence, he looked rather natural and casual.

Upon hearing that Wang Zhuoyu wanted to teach him the Dao of array formations, Ye Ping immediately perked up.

The time array formations that he had learned previously were all used well, and after going down the mountain, Ye Ping knew how important array formations truly were.

For example, if he was proficient in array formations, he would have been able to break the array formations in the Linhe Ghost Grave.

At the thought of this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but be grateful. “Thank you so much, Senior Brother Wang.”

“It’s alright, we are all family. Why do you have to be so polite?”

Wang Zhuoyu did not feel anything. After all, if he could teach Ye Ping array formations, he could also take Ye Ping to work and let Ye Ping help him after he passed the array formations assessment and became an array formation master.

Firstly, it would save him a lot of hassle and he would be able to earn more money.

At the thought of this, Wang Zhuoyu couldn’t help but smile.

At this moment, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.

Daoist Tai Hua stood on the cliff and looked down quietly.

It was impossible that he didn’t know that such a major event happened in Qingzhou.

Previously, he had gone to place bets with Shi Liangjin, but before he could place his bet, he learned that something had happened in Qingzhou Ancient City.

Daoist Tai Hua was on tenterhooks and for the past few days, he couldn’t eat, drink, or even sleep.

He was really worried and scared that Su Changyu and Ye Ping would encounter some misfortune.

Had he known earlier, he would have never let Ye Ping and Su Changyu go to the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.

Daoist Tai Hua didn’t even blink and simply looked down the mountain, looking forward to seeing Ye Ping and Su Changyu.

Ever since Daoist Tai Hua learned of what happened in Qingzhou, he returned.

Hence, he didn’t know about the rumors that were being spread in the outside world.

Perhaps he was fearful, or perhaps he was trying to evade, but Daoist Tai Hua would rather stay in the sect alone to wait for Ye Ping and Su Changyu than hear any news of their deaths.

However, Daoist Tai Hua had also thought about it carefully. If Ye Ping and Su Changyu did not return within seven days, he would take the risk and go to Qingzhou Ancient City to find out.

While Daoist Tai Hua was thinking about it, two figures suddenly appeared not far away.

Daoist Tai Hua suddenly fell silent.

He looked over and soon got even more excited.

It was Ye Ping!

When Daoist Tai Hua saw that the person was Ye Ping, he got even more agitated.

He finally felt relieved.

‘Good that they’re fine.’

‘Good that they’re fine.’

Daoist Tai Hua muttered to himself incessantly. As for the other person, Daoist Tai Hua simply glanced at him. It wasn’t Su Changyu but Wang Zhuoyu.

‘Where did Su Changyu go?’

Daoist Tai Hua was a little puzzled, but he didn’t have time to be puzzled now so he hurriedly moved towards Ye Ping.

“Ye Ping, I’m not bragging. Eldest Senior Brother’s Sword Dao might be great, but compared to me, he’s really nothing.”

“Maybe you won’t believe me now, but I’ll show you the Dao of array formations in a few days.”

Wang Zhuoyu, who was in a very good mood, began to boast about himself. But he felt that he wasn’t boasting. It wasn’t that he was too strong, but rather, Su Changyu was too weak.

If he really passed the array formation assessment and became an officially certified array formation master, even ten Su Changyus would not be able to beat him.

However, at this moment, Daoist Tai Hua’s voice sounded.

All of a sudden, he appeared in front of the two of them.

Upon sight of Daoist Tai Hua, Wang Zhuoyu immediately said proudly, “Master, I’ve passed…”

“Get lost.”

Before Wang Zhuoyu could finish saying that he had passed the preliminary assessment, Daoist Tai Hua’s voice sounded. His harsh tone made Wang Zhuoyu feel a little dumbfounded.

‘I have gone through a lot of trouble and painstaking efforts to pass the preliminary array formation assessment and you told me to get lost?’

‘You told me to get lost?’

‘You told the future money tree of Qingyun Dao Sect to get lost?’

‘Okay, Master, go ahead. I’ll get going first.’

After recovering from the shock, Wang Zhuoyu left.

On the other hand, Daoist Tai Hua looked extremely anxious.

“Ye Ping, where is your eldest Senior Brother?”

Daoist Tai Hua said.

“Huh? Hasn’t Eldest Senior Brother returned yet?”

After hearing the Sect Leader’s question, Ye Ping was shocked.

He thought that Su Changyu had already returned. He didn’t expect that Su Changyu hadn’t returned yet.

“Isn’t he with you?”

Daoist Tai Hua somehow felt that something was amiss.

“Sect Leader, when the Fiendcelestial Cult raided Qingzhou, I got separated from Eldest Senior Brother, but he should have already left the city. After that, I didn’t get to meet him in Qingzhou Ancient City, so I thought that perhaps he had gone to handle other matters. Sect Leader, don’t worry, you know that Eldest Senior Brother is strong enough to not encounter any danger.”

Ye Ping hurriedly said.

However, Daoist Tai Hua got even more flustered after hearing that.

He was flustered precisely because he knew Su Changyu’s strength.

Although he panicked, Daoist Tai Hua remained calm on the surface.

“Okay, since you are back, stay in the sect during this period of time and learn from your other Senior Brothers. I’ll make a trip down the mountain. When I return, I’ll officially accept you as a disciple.”

Daoist Tai Hua was calm on the surface, but he was still filled with anxiety. He planned to go down the mountain to ask about Su Changyu’s whereabouts.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Hearing that he was going to be formally accepted as a disciple, Ye Ping was extremely excited.

After that, Daoist Tai Hua didn’t say anything and simply headed down the mountain alone.

Ye Ping also immediately ran to the rear cliff and started to cultivate.

Having obtained so much merit in Qingzhou Ancient City, he thought that he had to make use of it well.
