Chapter 2230: Two New Sets of Sixth-Level Grand Arrays Added

At Han Manor in Xuanyan Market, Han Changfeng sat in a stone pavilion, holding a gilded invitation card. A graceful young woman in a golden dress was reporting to him.

"The Azure Lotus Immortals are holding a celebration!"

Han Changfeng's expression became thoughtful. He hadn't realized that Wang Mengbin was from the Wang family.

"One of our honored retainers is a member of the Wang family, who happened to appear in the Azure Glaze Sea," the young woman in the golden dress stated truthfully.

"I understand. I will attend." Han Changfeng waved his hand, dismissing the young woman.

According to the information he had gathered, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were both cultivators who had ascended from the lower realms. He hadn't expected Wang Mengbin to also be a member of the Wang family. Ascended cultivators had a higher chance of advancing to the Void Refinement stage. Out of respect for Zhenhai Palace, Han Changfeng was willing to offer his congratulations.

At Azure Lotus Island, in the council hall, Wang Ruyan, Chen Yihang, and two other individuals were enjoying tea and chatting. Chen Yihang and his companions had been on Azure Lotus Island for several years. The Wang family had invested heavily in hiring skilled professionals to provide guidance, which led to rapid progress.

With Chen Yihang's assistance, the Wang family spent a fortune to set up two more Tier-6 grand formations. One was the Seven Stars Demon-Trapping Formation, deployed across seven auxiliary islands, with each island serving as a formation eye. This arrangement significantly bolstered the defensive capabilities of the seven auxiliary islands.

Additionally, Azure Lotus Island acquired another Tier-6 formation: the Magnetic Light Demon Extermination Formation. The Magnetic Light Demon Extermination Formation was a scaled-down version of the Tier-7 Primordial Magnetic Spirit Extermination Formation. The Primordial Magnetic Spirit Extermination Formation required multiple Primordial Magnetic Mountains as formation eyes, but the Wang family possessed none. The Magnetic Light Demon Extermination Formation was a Tier-6 formation that Chen Yihang sold to the Wang family at a high price. It comprised over a thousand formation flags, all refined from millennium-old Primordial Benevolence Wood. This formation was a killing array; when fully activated, even Tier-5 demonic beasts would be annihilated by its powerful magnetic force.

According to Chen Yihang, if the Wang family could acquire enough Primordial Magnetic Mountains or Primordial Benevolence Wood, they could deploy the true Primordial Magnetic Spirit Extermination Formation. Wang Ruyan purchased this item at a high price primarily because Wang Changsheng possessed a piece of Primordial Magnetic Divine Crystal, which could be used to refine a Primordial Magnetic treasure.

Chen Yihang, of course, wasn't acting out of pure generosity. He had his eyes on the sea beast puppets. Wang Changsheng sold him two Tier-5 sea beast puppets, along with a Tier-5 talisman weapon, in exchange for the formation.

With these two Tier-6 formations, the Wang family's chances of surviving a large-scale beast tide significantly increased.

Wang Ruyan entertained Chen Yihang and his companions generously with fine food and drinks, offering many valuable items such as Tier-6 beast hides, ten-thousand-year spiritual wood, and Tier-6 ores. In return, Chen Yihang instructed the Wang family's formation masters on array deployment. He particularly guided Bai Yuqi, teaching her how to strengthen the Wang family's formations and offering numerous suggestions. Liu Yumei, meanwhile, guided Wang Qiuyu in alchemy, and other skilled professionals provided instruction to the Wang family's cultivators. All of them received substantial compensation. Wang Ruyan felt no regret, believing that once her clan members matured, these cultivation resources would be recouped.

"Senior Martial Brother Chen, Senior Martial Sister Liu, Senior Martial Brother Lu, you've all worked hard these past few years. After the celebration, we'll have a grand gift for you," Wang Ruyan said sincerely. With their guidance, the Wang family's cultivators had progressed rapidly.

"Junior Martial Sister Wang, you're too kind. Has Junior Martial Brother Wang not yet repaired my treasure?" Chen Yihang asked politely. Wang Changsheng hadn't appeared for several years, reportedly busy repairing his treasure.

"Fortunately, it's restored," a cheerful male voice suddenly rang out. As soon as the words fell, Wang Changsheng walked in. With a flip of his hand, a shimmering blue glaive appeared in his palm, which he then handed to Chen Yihang.

"Senior Martial Brother Chen, repairing a mid-grade Profound-Heaven Spirit Treasure is not easy, so it took a bit more time," Wang Changsheng said politely. The main reason was that the treasure was primarily refined from Tidal Divine Iron, a material found in the deep sea known for its excellent toughness, usually used to forge water-attribute treasures.

"It's really repaired!" Chen Yihang was somewhat disbelieving. He took the blue glaive and, with a gentle shake, countless blue water vapor surged out, instantly filling the hall with increased humidity.

Wang Changsheng raised his right hand, and Glazed Ice Flame appeared in his palm. The room temperature plummeted, and the floor began to freeze.

"A Tier-6 spiritual flame!" Liu Yumei exclaimed in surprise, her tone carrying a hint of envy. Even she only possessed a Tier-5 spiritual flame. Spiritual flames are highly effective for refining artifacts and concocting pills.

Chen Yihang suddenly understood, his eyes filled with joy. "Junior Martial Brother Wang, thank you. Tell me, how many materials did it cost to repair this treasure?"

"Senior Martial Brother Chen, you're being too formal. Your visit to Azure Lotus Island is already a great pleasure. Repairing a treasure is nothing. If you truly wish to thank me, please provide more guidance to our family's formation masters. Without powerful formations, we might not be able to withstand a large-scale beast tide," Wang Changsheng said sincerely.

Chen Yihang thought for a moment and said, "Little Friend Bai has good comprehension. I'll give her more guidance."

"Then I'll trouble Senior Martial Brother Chen." Wang Changsheng nodded with a smile.

Sun Yuejiao walked in, respectfully saying, "Father, Mother, Senior Ye from Taiyang Sect has arrived."

"Husband, you can chat with Senior Martial Brother Chen. I'll go greet Immortal Ye. It was thanks to her help that Qingfeng wasn't harmed," Wang Ruyan exchanged greetings, then transformed into a streak of blue light and flew out.

"Yuejiao, have we sent an invitation to Fellow Daoist Han in the Azure Glaze Sea?" Wang Changsheng looked at Sun Yuejiao and asked. Wang Mengbin had served the Han family for several centuries. Both for public and private reasons, the Wang family should send an invitation to the Han family.

"Yes, it was sent. Senior Han accepted it," Sun Yuejiao replied truthfully.

"Junior Martial Brother Wang, your relationship with the Han family seems good!" Chen Yihang said with some surprise. The Han family's overall strength was even greater than that of Zhenhai Palace.

"Mengbin unexpectedly found himself in the Azure Glaze Sea, and it was thanks to the Han family's protection. We should invite Fellow Daoist Han to the celebration," Wang Changsheng explained. He didn't explicitly state Wang Mengbin's relationship with the Han family, leaving others to guess.

Two streaks of light flew in, revealing Wang Ruyan and Ye Tianxue.

"It's been many years. Fellow Daoist Wang and Madam Wang have both advanced to the Void Refinement stage. Congratulations! On behalf of my master, I am here to represent Taiyang Sect at the celebration," Ye Tianxue said politely.

"Many thanks for your assistance, Immortal Ye. Otherwise, Qingfeng and Xueli might have met with disaster," Wang Changsheng clasped his hands together in gratitude.

"It was nothing more than a small effort. Fellow Daoist Wang needn't dwell on it," Ye Tianxue said dismissively.

Wang Changsheng nodded with a smile and introduced Chen Yihang and the other two to Ye Tianxue.

"Immortal Ye is indeed True Lord Taiyang's youngest disciple, truly an exceptional talent. I am glad to finally meet you in person today," Chen Yihang praised her, noting that True Lord Taiyang greatly valued Ye Tianxue and had often sent her to various celebrations over the years.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you flatter me. My knowledge is shallow; I can't compare to you all," Ye Tianxue said modestly.

Wang Ruyan invited Ye Tianxue to sit down, and they enjoyed tea and conversation together.
