Chapter 2176
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, calmed his mind and headed straight for Old Man Gui’s courtyard.
Although this Senior Sister had reminded him of many things, Xiao Chen still wanted to try his luck at Old Man Gui’s place.
“The mission has been issued for half a month. Almost every day, there are people who go to Old Man Gui’s place to accept the mission. However, every person who goes is chased away by Old Man Gui. This is indeed a little scary. It seems that I must be more careful.”
As Xiao Chen walked on the road, he was silently reminding himself that he needed to be as cautious as possible.
After all, although he had helped Old Man Gui complete the array and successfully refined the pill, after what happened at Elder Zhang’s place, Xiao Chen felt that Old Man Gui’s attitude towards him was a little ambiguous. He didn’t dare to be negligent and planned to complete the mission at Old Man Gui’s place in his best condition.
After all, the thoughts and tempers of these experts were too strange. If he was not careful, he might offend them at some point. Especially when facing these experts, he must not try to build a relationship with them. If he did, he would definitely die a horrible death.
Therefore, although Xiao Chen thought that he had a slight advantage, he didn’t dare to have any presumptuous thoughts.
After accepting the mission, Xiao Chen hurried to Old Man Gui’s courtyard.
What surprised him was that Old Man Gui and Elder Zhang’s residences were actually not too far away from each other. They were only a few hundred miles apart.
The Southern Soul Immortal Sect was extremely large. Within the Immortal Sect, every disciple could have their own courtyard. This was enough to show how vast the Southern Soul Immortal Sect was. A distance of a few hundred miles was naturally nothing to Immortals like them. They were indeed very close to each other, almost as if they were neighbors.
“Elder, I have accepted the mission issued by Elder. I have specially come to pay my respects to Elder!” Xiao Chen stood at the door and shouted respectfully.
“Come in!” Old Man Gui’s voice was very cold.
Without saying a word, Xiao Chen pushed the door open and entered. Then, he saw Old Ghost standing in the courtyard and smiling at him.
“Kid, you actually came?” Old Man Gui said to Xiao Chen with a smile after seeing Xiao Chen.
However, although he said so, in fact, Old Ghost was secretly relieved. He thought that Xiao Chen would not accept his task because of the previous incident. Now that he saw Xiao Chen, he actually wanted to say, “You’re finally here, kid.” However, it was a little too straightforward, so he changed his words.
This made Xiao Chen a little surprised, because Old Ghost’s attitude towards him seemed to be a little friendly!
He thought that the old man would be very cold to him since he came here to do a task. Even if he wouldn’t be driven away like the other disciples, he wouldn’t be too polite. But now, it seemed that the old man’s attitude made him heave a sigh of relief.
However, he didn’t say much and just stood at the side very respectfully.
“Hehe, come in with me. Kid, let me tell you first. Although you seem to be a little handy with Old Man Zhang, it’s completely different with me. Although Old Man Zhang is somewhat optimistic about you, since you’re here to do a task, naturally, everything has to follow my rules. If there’s anything that I’m not satisfied with, don’t think that I’ll be lenient for Old Man Zhang’s sake. If you don’t do well, hmph …” After entering the room, Old Ghost said to Xiao Chen faintly.
“Yes, this disciple naturally understands!” Xiao Chen cupped his hands in obeisance.
“Well … then let’s begin. Last time at Old Man Zhang’s place, I know that you know a little about arrays. I hope you won’t let me down!”
Old Ghost said faintly. Then, he directly stood in the room with a serious expression. Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed tens of thousands of times in the void. Following that, a wave of fluctuation rose from the room.
“What a powerful array …” Sensing this fluctuation, Xiao Chen was a little surprised. In addition to practicing, he had actually done something else during this period of time. That was to follow the Fengsha Sword and understand some knowledge about arrays.
It was just that the Dao of Formations was too broad and profound, so even after so long, he still hadn’t grasped the essence of it. However, he could more or less sense that the Formation that Old Ghost was arranging was absolutely very powerful.
“Kid, could it be that you can sense the grade of this array?” Old Ghost heard Xiao Chen muttering to himself. Then, he glanced at him and asked faintly.
“This disciple can’t sense the specific grade of this array. However, I can feel that this array should be very, very powerful!” Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate and directly answered truthfully.
“Oh … it seems like you have a unique advantage in the art of formations. This time, I don’t need your help to do much. Later on, when I complete the formation, you just need to embed these formation stones according to the most basic position of the formation!”
Old Ghost let out a soft sound of surprise. After that, he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he took out dozens of milky white stones from the Space Ring and placed them in front of Xiao Chen.
“That’s it?”
Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn’t mean that this task was too difficult. Instead, he felt that this task was too easy.
He knew about Array Stones. These were special spirit stones that were inscribed with some arrays. They could be used to assist in the completion of some large arrays and increase the power of some large arrays.
In fact, embedding the Array Stones was not a difficult task. Anyone who knew a little about arrays should be able to do it easily.
As for the basic position of the array, naturally, anyone who knew about arrays would not be wrong in judging it.
During this period of time, although he didn’t learn too much advanced knowledge about arrays from the Fengsha Sword, he still knew these basic general knowledge.
Therefore, after listening to Old Ghost’s words, he felt that this task was too easy.
“Hehe, kid, don’t think that this task is so easy. Wait until you do it, then you will know!” Old Ghost seemed to see through Xiao Chen’s thoughts and said faintly.
