“Since there’s a good place, that would naturally be the best!” Young Master Bai He became excited, “The conditions needed for a Spirit Gathering Array are very rare and are generally occupied by experts. The reason spirit stones are so expensive is that there aren’t many Spirit Gathering Arrays in the entire world, limiting the output. If we can create one, we would definitely become the wealthiest of the wealthy!”

“However, there’s still a third problem.” He added, “We also need to purchase a large amount of jade.”

“No need to worry about that, I still have over a dozen jade mines, besides…”

Qin Feng said.

He took out a pile of gemstones of various colors obtained from Thor Kingdom and continued, “What do you think about using these to create spirit stones?”

Upon seeing those gemstones, Young Master Bai He’s eyes almost popped out of his head in shock!

Holding the gemstones, he couldn’t bear to blink, exclaiming: “Good! So good! Simply excellent! The material of these gemstones is perfect for making spirit stones, and the spiritual energy contained in even a small gemstone is probably dozens of times that of regular jade! In other words, once crafted, one gemstone would be worth dozens of spirit stones, and considering their rarity, just one of these gemstones is equivalent to a hundred spirit stones!!”

“Indeed.”

Qin Feng nodded contentedly.

Back then, he didn’t want to give the gemstones to General Shi and chose to pay in cash, not only because he thought they would retain their value but also because he had the idea of making spirit stones out of them.

Because the material of these gemstones was very similar to his own gem spirit stones, they could be used.

“The Spirit Gathering Array, the site selection, and top-grade materials are all set; we’re going to strike it rich!!” Young Master Bai He was so excited he could hardly speak coherently, “In no time at all, we’ll be the world’s richest!”

“Ahem, don’t get carried away.”

Qin Feng was embarrassed.

The world’s richest?

This world is vast, far beyond what people can see, so saying one will become the world’s richest shows little understanding.

However…

It’s not impossible either.

“There are some more things for you to handle.”

Qin Feng said, handing him a large quantity of pearls he brought from the Mermaid Clan, “Can you use these to create small arrays?”

Young Master Bai He took a look at the pearls and exclaimed in surprise: “Nice, the material quality of these pearls is excellent. The small arrays made from them will be several times stronger than those made from ordinary pearls!”

Small arrays are also similar to small magic artifacts.

They are created by arranging a small array, condensed within a vessel, to achieve effects.

It’s generally acknowledged that pearls make great vessels for setting up small arrays.

For instance, a small fire array condensed inside a pearl; throwing the pearl on the ground will ignite flames.

Or, a small wind array condensed within a pearl; tossing the pearl into the sky will stir up winds.

In a sense, they are quite similar to spirit talismans.

But spirit talismans are more like magic artifacts, crafted using rune dao patterns.

These pearl small arrays, however, are formed by five-element array formations condensing energies, and are called “Magic Beads.”

Moreover,

Magic Beads can possess profound arrays, and they can cooperate with each other as well.

For example, Qin Feng had brought back seven Pearl Magic Beads from one of the Seven Great Death Lands in North Country Forest Mountain. Placing them on Five Rings Mountain formed a very powerful defense system, which had once led to hundreds of sects and tens of thousands of lives perishing on Five Rings Mountain.

So, when the Mermaids gifted him pearls, he accept them without hesitation.

“Therefore, this task is entrusted to your Sun and Moon Villa. The key is to focus on combat and defense when forming the small arrays.”

Qin Feng said.

“No problem, just these few pearls, and I can complete it in a few days.”

Young Master Bai He replied.

“No, no, there are many more.”

Qin Feng threw him a Qiankun Bag directly and said, “I haven’t counted them, but there are tens of thousands for sure. Once they’re used up, I’ll…”

He was about to say that once they’re used up, he’d go back to the Mermaid Clan for more; after all, they are everywhere in that clan.

But he refrained from saying further, remembering that the Mermaid Clan wanted to marry Princess Nami to him.

“…”

Young Master Bai He was stunned once again.

To array masters, these high-quality pearls are extremely expensive, and pearls of such high quality are exceptionally rare.

And it turned out,

Qin Feng said there are tens of thousands more…

“Alright, stop being so easily shocked, it makes you seem unsophisticated.”

Qin Feng remarked, speechless.

Even though Young Master Bai He was considered a Hidden World wealthy second-generation, he was less composed than people like Wang Zanggu.

“…”

Young Master Bai He felt a twinge of embarrassment hearing this.

Inside, he was also secretly frustrated.

He usually carried the demeanor of a graceful young master, exuding noble temperament, how come in front of Qin Feng, he acted like someone who had never seen the world?

He mustn’t be so easily startled from now on.

Maintain composure!

Young Master Bai He took a deep breath secretly, then stood taller, raised his chin slightly, displaying a proud young master demeanor.

“One last thing I entrust to you.”

At this moment, Qin Feng took out a small flag, only twenty centimeters long, with a complex floral pattern on its base, resembling runes and dao patterns.

“The Nine-layered Banner, see if you can figure it out.”

He said.

Just after he spoke.

There was a “thud” as Young Master Bai He fell to the ground, sitting down.

“What’s the matter with you?”

Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

“This, this this this… isn’t this the legendary Nine-layered Banner?!!” Young Master Bai He exclaimed, his speech stuttering in shock, “Legend has it that the Nine-layered Banner is a Transmission Array. By setting the coordinates, it can rapidly teleport to a designated location; it’s an extremely powerful kind of array, but it has long been extinct, and scarcely anyone in the world possesses a Nine-layered Banner anymore, it’s even become a luxury, rarely used.”

“I know! But do you have to act like this?”

Qin Feng remarked awkwardly.

This Nine-layered Banner was one he had stumbled upon at the Qinling Cuomei Peak cave, saved Xiao Wu’s mother, who used it to return to the Upper Realm, leaving it beside the Divine Tree, and Qin Feng took it casually.

Since the Energy Baryte was taken, the Divine Tree was destroyed, and without the energy, the Nine-layered Banner itself was useless.

“Can you research it?”

Qin Feng asked again.

His Heavenly King Palace forces were too dispersed.

For instance, he resided in Qingyu City, the Dragon Gate Hub was in Jiang City, Five Rings Mountain served as a special training base, the Qinling Branch was scattered throughout Qinling, Peach Blossom Island was located in the East Sea Sea Domain, Longshan was in the Southwest, along with two Medicine Mountains and the Hundred Herbs Hall in the Southwest.

Communication between them was too far, making both management and contact inconvenient.

Having a Transmission Array would be excellent.

It would be very convenient to teleport to wherever required quickly.

“This…”

Young Master Bai He said with difficulty, “You’re putting me in a tough spot; how could I possibly know about such a long-lost array? It would take a true master.”

“A true master?”

Qin Feng was puzzled.

Sun and Moon Villa was somewhat renowned in the Array Formation World.

Isn’t even that considered a true master?
