"Master Ling, I … I promise you."
Yan Ning Zhi lowered her head, her cheeks were blushing. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper.
It was obvious how shy she was feeling right now.
After saying that, she felt a wave of powerlessness and almost collapsed to the ground.
"I …"
Looking at Yan Ning Zhi's blushing face and her trembling hands, Ling Xian sensed her strangeness. But because of Feng Qing Ming's request, he accepted the jade and smiled, "Thank you."
"Master Ling Xian, you are being too polite. I am doing this willingly."
Feeling Ling Xian accept the jade, Yan Ning Zhi was ecstatic. She lowered her head even more, as if she was too ashamed to see anyone.
This jade has been worn around her chest since she was young. To her, it meant a lot to her.
If it was to solve the questions she had about arrays, she would never have given the jade to Ling Xian. But for some reason, the moment Ling Xian asked for the jade, she felt happy.
It was this happiness that made her make a decision.
Even though this decision was impulsive and made her feel shy, she knew very well that she had no regrets.
That was enough.
"No matter what, thank you." Ling Xian softly smiled and sent the jade into the Painting of the Nine Immortals. He asked, "Now, tell me the question you wanted to ask."
Yan Ning Zhi nodded and calmed down the complex emotions in her chest. Then, she told Ling Xian about the problem she was facing with arrays.
After a while, Ling Xian softly nodded, indicating that he understood.
The gist of it was that she wanted to make a giant array. She wanted to use the Iron of Punishment to increase her offensive capabilities and the Gold of Sealing to increase her defensive capabilities. Then, she wanted to make an array that could both attack and defend.
However, these two rare materials were not compatible. In other words, if she chose the Iron of Punishment to increase her offensive capabilities, she could not use the Gold of Sealing to increase her defensive capabilities.
In reality, the fact that these two materials were not compatible has always been a difficult problem for arrays.
A long time ago, many array masters wanted to solve this problem. But in the end, they all gave up because this problem was far too difficult to solve.
They could not be compatible with each other, nor could they be neutralized with a third material. However, as time passed, a Formation Master found a divine material that could replace the Demon-Punishing Iron.
Although the increase in attack power was not as good as the Devil Punisher Iron, it was still better than nothing.
Therefore, many array masters who wanted to solve this problem gave up and used that material to replace the Iron of Execution.
At this point, no one asked about this question anymore and it became an unsolvable problem in the field of array formation!
"I see. It's because the Iron of Demon Execution and the Gold of Demon Sealing are incompatible." Ling Xian nodded.
"Yes, do you have a solution?" Yan Ning Zhi's face was still red as she looked at Ling Xian hopefully.
"Let me think," Ling Xian brushed it off and asked in his mind, "Immortal, do you have a solution?"
After a while, Feng Qing Ming did not speak. It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xian frowned and called out again. Still, there was no response from Feng Qing Ming.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought to himself, "Don't play with me. If I can't answer this, then I'll lose face."
Sadly, Feng Qing Ming remained silent.
"This is bad." Ling Xian sighed. Feeling Yan Ning Zhi's expectant gaze, he could only force a smile, "About that, have you never thought about using another material?"
"There is indeed a material that can replace the Demon Punisher Iron. However, this formation is something I obtained from a historical remnant. It specifies two divine materials, the Demon Punisher Iron and the Demon Sealing Gold. Any other material won't work. It won't be able to unleash the power of the formation."
Yan Ning Zhi shook her head. As an array master, how could she not understand how difficult this problem was? It was just that she didn't want to give up. Plus, she thought of Ling Xian as an array master. Therefore, she asked with a sliver of hope.
"I see. Don't panic. Let me think about it." Ling Xian was anxious, but his face was calm, as if he could really solve this unsolvable problem.
Yan Ning Zhi's face was red and she whispered, "Okay, I believe you."
Believe?
Ling Xian was speechless, thinking that she trusted the wrong person. He was just a newbie in array, how could he solve this? But at this point, he was riding a tiger and could not back down. There was no room for rejection.
If he didn't accept the jade, then it would be easy. At most, he would just lose face. It wasn't a big deal. But he had already accepted the jade. If he couldn't answer, then it wouldn't be a problem of losing face.
Luckily, just as Ling Xian was panicking, Feng Qing Ming's voice finally arose. This time, his voice did not contain his usual smile. Instead, it was full of sadness.
"Ling Xian, tell her that she only needs to add a piece of warm jade."
Ling Xian's expression brightened. Without thinking too much, he passed this message to Yan Ning Zhi.
Warm jade?
Yan Ning Zhi had a strange expression on her face. If it weren't for Ling Xian's grandmaster status, she would've left a long time ago.
Why?
Because warm jade is the most basic and common material in arrays. What are the Iron of Demon Execution and the Gold of Demon Sealing? That was a resounding divine material!
One is an ordinary material, the other is a rare heavenly material. How can the former have the ability to neutralize the latter?
This is like someone saying that a sheep became friends with a lion.
That is complete nonsense!
"Master Ling, are you sure it's warm jade? That is the simplest material. There is no way it can neutralize heavenly materials. "Yan Ning Zhi hesitated. To save Ling Xian's face, she purposely spoke in a roundabout way.
Hearing this, Ling Xian softly grinned. He knew that Yan Ning Zhi was saving him some face. He also understood that using ordinary materials to neutralize heavenly materials sounded unbelievable. However, he believed in Feng Qing Ming.
He was the pioneer of ancient arrays!
In the field of arrays, he was the most authoritative person. How could he be wrong?
"Don't worry, I am not lying to you." Ling Xian continued to smile, "How about this, you go back and try it. If you cannot neutralize it, then come back and find me. When that happens, I will apologize to you. "
"I …"
Yan Ning Zhi hesitated. Perhaps it was because she liked him, or perhaps it was because she felt Ling Xian's confidence. She clenched her teeth, "Okay, I will go back and try."
"Go." Ling Xian softly grinned. He knew that Yan Ning Zhi still didn't believe him. However, he was too lazy to say more. After she tries it, everything will be clear.
Seeing Ling Xian's calm demeanor, Yan Ning Zhi felt a little more confident. She nodded and left.
Watching her silhouette disappear into the distance, Ling Xian softly sighed, "I hope what the immortal said is true. Or else I will be so embarrassed."
Then, he suddenly remembered Feng Qing Ming's strange behavior and the last sentence he said. He couldn't help but feel interested.
Ling Xian entered the Painting of the Nine Immortals and decided to ask Feng Qing Ming about it.
