On top of a towering, misty mountain peak.
Yan Ning Zhi's expression was heavy. She formed a hand seal and unleashed one array after another.
Before her, five black pillars stood tall on top of the mountain. They were connected to each other and emitted a mysterious energy.
This was the mysterious array she acquired from the ancient ruins.
Following Ling Xian's instructions, she first placed the Iron of Punishment and the Lock of Demon into the pillars. Then, she added in five pieces of the highest quality warm jade.
The former was a rare heavenly material and was worth tens of thousands of gold. The latter was the most common material. Even the highest quality warm jade was worth around 100 spiritual stones. The difference between the two was like the difference between the clouds and the mud.
Therefore, Yan Ning Zhi did not believe that the warm jade could combine the two heavenly materials and allow the Iron of Punishment and Lock of Demon and Lock of Demon to perfectly combine.
However, perhaps it was because she wanted to give it a try, or perhaps it was because she was confident in Ling Xian, she chose to give it a try.
The result did not disappoint her.
At first, when the Iron of Punishment and the Lock of Demon and Lock of Demon merged into the pillars, the five pillars began to shake. It was caused by the repulsion between the two materials.
However, after the five warm jades entered the pillars, the shaking pillars began to stabilize. Then, an infinite amount of heavenly light began to shine and engulf the entire mountain peak.
In the next second, the five black pillars began to shake and emit a terrifying Qi. Like an awakened beast, it rolled out in all directions!
The mysterious array was complete!
"This is great. I knew Master Ling wouldn't lie to me!"
Yan Ning Zhi was ecstatic. Looking at the terrifying array before her, she was satisfied.
Ever since she acquired the recipe, it has been three years. She has not been able to solve the problem of the Iron of Punishment and the Lock of Demon. Therefore, this array was never completed.
Today, she had finally created the array. Naturally, she was satisfied.
"Master Ling sure is impressive. I cannot believe that he has the ability to solve an unsolvable problem with arrays. All he did was use a piece of warm jade. Unbelievable." Yan Ning Zhi's eyes flickered with color. She found Ling Xian to be unpredictable.
To know that the problem of the Iron of Punishment and the Lock of Demon has existed for countless years. Countless Array Masters had tried to solve this problem, but all of them had failed without exception.
Yet before their eyes, a piece of warm jade solved this problem. One has to admit that this was unbelievable.
If it was any other Array Master, they would definitely be dumbfounded!
What are Demon Punishing Iron and Demon Locking Metal? That was a rare divine material, second only to the legendary immortal material!
As for Wen Yu?
That was just the most common material. It was not an exaggeration to say that it could be found everywhere!
To the knowledge of any array master, such an ordinary material would not be able to harmonize the divine materials. Therefore, not a single array master tried to use warm jade to mediate. They didn't even think about it.
It could only be said that this was a misunderstanding in their thinking. They thought that low-grade materials could not possibly have any effect on high-grade materials. Little did they know that every single material in the world had its own meaning of existence. Sometimes, thinking about it from a different perspective might bring about a pleasant surprise.
"Young Master Ling is too amazing. A problem that no one could solve was solved so easily. This is unbelievable." Yan Ning Zhi's eyes flashed with admiration. She placed the five pillars into her storage pouch and planned to find Ling Xian to thank him.
However, just as she turned around, she heard a clear and bright laughter slowly ring out.
"I wonder if Miss Yan is here? Ling Xian is here to visit. "
Instantly, Yan Ning Zhi's face brightened, "I am here. Young Master Ling, please come up."
In the next second, a shadow in white descended from the sky and walked before Yan Ning Zhi.
Seeing the joy on her face, Ling Xian grinned, "Just now, I felt a terrifying Qi. If I'm not wrong, your array was completed."
"That's right." Yan Ning Zhi nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your guidance. If it wasn't for you, I would never have been able to solve this problem my entire life."
"Don't thank me. We each have our own needs." Ling Xian grinned.
"I still have to thank you." Yan Ning Zhi's face reddened. Remembering the jade she carried around with her, she felt shy. She peeked at Ling Xian out of the corner of her eye.
Although he wasn't a peerlessly handsome man, he was calm and tranquil like an immortal. This wasn't something an ordinary person could cultivate.
This made her heart beat faster and faster like a fawn.
"What are you thanking me for? It was nothing." Ling Xian smiled.
"This is an unsolvable problem that has baffled countless array masters. Until now, nobody has been able to solve it. However, you only used a small piece of warm jade to solve this ancient problem. You are truly amazing. " Yan Ning Zhi's face reddened as she lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at Ling Xian, afraid that he would notice something was wrong with her.
"I simply thought of the problem from a different perspective. It's nothing." Ling Xian brandished his hand, thinking that she was complimenting the wrong person. He did not have the ability to solve this problem so easily.
"Ling Xian, you are being too humble." Yan Ning Zhi smiled brightly, the color in her eyes intensified.
Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head and changed the topic, "Okay, I am here to ask you something. I wonder if you can answer my question?"
"Of course. I will tell you everything I know." Yan Ning Zhi's facial features were exquisite, her skin was white and smooth, and her body was curvy. She was an extremely beautiful woman.
Ling Xian hesitated and asked, "I want to ask, is the ancestor of your clan named Yan Xin Yan?"
"Of course. That's something everyone on the 36 islands knows." Yan Ning Zhi looked at Ling Xian suspiciously, not understanding why he would ask a question everyone already knew.
The Yan Clan was one of the top forces on the 36 islands. It had been around for hundreds of thousands of years. If it weren't for the war tens of thousands of years ago, the entire 36 islands would've been ruled by the Yan Clan.
The ancestor was Feng Qing Ming's first love, Yan Xin Yan!
"I knew it."
Ling Xian chuckled to himself and told Feng Qing Ming about this.
In the next second, the Immortal of Array's excited and joyful voice arose.
"Haha, good, good. God has been kind to me. He allowed me to leave my bloodline in the Taoism community. Ling Xian, ask her if she has a portrait of Xin Yan. "
"Okay, please don't be impatient."
Ling Xian agreed and smiled at Yan Ning Zhi. He asked, "I wonder if you have a portrait of the Yan Clan ancestor?"
"I do, but what do you want it for?" Yan Ning Zhi was confused and looked at Ling Xian strangely.
"About that …"
Ling Xian paused and made up an excuse, "I've long heard that the Yan Clan ancestor is a woman who does not lose to men. I've always wanted to admire her beauty, but I was born in the wrong era. Therefore, I want to see a portrait of her."
Admire her beauty?
The corner of Yan Ning Zhi's lips curled up into a faint smile. She was not an idiot. How could she not know that Ling Xian was just making up an excuse? However, she didn't expose him. Instead, she called out to him.
Immediately, a portrait floated in midair and slowly opened.
On it was a portrait of a woman.
A smiling, dimpled, and beautiful woman.
Instantly, the Painting of the Nine Immortals began to shake. Feng Qing Ming's tears rolled down his cheeks.
