The fire buried six Zhang family's Inner Aura Realm warriors. Because of the soundproof array, the other Zhang family members only discovered it when the fire in the meeting hall spread to the extent of a big fire. However, it was already too late.
Six Inner Aura Realm warriors were inexplicably killed and burned to the ground. The entire Zhang family was in a complete mess.
Of course, Chu Xiu was too lazy to continue pursuing these matters. He took the cultivation jade slip that had already been broken in half and prepared to find someone to repair it.
The cultivation jade slip had been broken in half. If it wasn't repaired, it would be impossible to read the cultivation method within.
Repairing the cultivation jade slip required an array master. There was an array master in the Heavenly Sin branch, and that was the Ghost Hand King.
In fact, the Ghost Hand King could only be considered a half-baked array master. He had learned arrays for a period of time, and he even knew medicine, hidden weapons, and other miscellaneous things. He was like a clown in a vaudeville, and he could often take out many strange things.
Repairing the cultivation jade slip wasn't too complicated. With the Ghost Hand King's attainments in arrays, he should be able to do it. However, Chu Xiu didn't feel at ease giving this to the Ghost Hand King.
The relationship between the hitmen of the Azure Dragon Society could be described as simple, but it could also be described as complicated. When there was no conflict of interest, they got along well, but when there was a conflict of interest, it was hard to say what would happen.
To put it simply, Chu Xiu didn't trust the Ghost Hand King, and he wouldn't use a treasure to test the character of others.
However, even if he couldn't give it to the Ghost Hand King, it didn't mean that Chu Xiu had no other way. He didn't know other array masters, but it didn't mean that others didn't know.
Previously, Wind Sweeping Tower's Wind Middleman, Lu You, gave Chu Xiu a way to contact him. As the Wind Sweeping Tower's Wind Middleman, Lu You definitely had this information.
Although Wind Sweeping Tower had a good reputation, Chu Xiu couldn't fully trust Lu You.
However, compared to finding the Ghostly Hand King, the only good thing about Lu You was that his strength was lower. Chu Xiu was confident that he could control him.
Lu You had a place to stay in Mount Tai County. Although Chu Xiu no longer had a wanted order on him, it was best for him not to show his face in public.
Therefore, Chu Xiu only left a mark in one of the places according to Lu You's contact information and stayed in a dilapidated temple on a barren mountain. When Lu You saw the mark, he immediately came over.
"May I know why Official Chu is looking for me?"
Lu You's face was full of joy. He really didn't expect that not long after he took the initiative to get to know Chu Xiu, business would come knocking on his door so quickly.
Chu Xiu said directly, "I have a Technique Transmission Jade Slip, but it has been broken in half. Now I need to find an Array Master to repair it."
After listening, Lu You immediately said, "Official Chu, don't worry. Although most of the Array Masters are in the sect, there are still some Array Masters who don't like to be restrained, so they act alone. I promise that I will find an Array Master with the best Array Dao for you, Official Chu."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "The Array Master I want doesn't need to be very skilled in Array Dao. It's just repairing the Technique Transmission Jade Slip. It's not too difficult. What I need is a reliable Array Master. The most important thing is that he is reliable!"
In the Anemophilia industry, Lu You's brain was the most flexible. From Chu Xiu's tone, he could hear what Chu Xiu meant.
Lu You was just worried that the Technique Transmission Jade Slip in his hands would be secretly read or changed by an Array Master.
Lu You thought for a while and said, "Official Chu, I really do have someone here who meets Official Chu's requirements. When the time comes, Official Chu, you will definitely be satisfied."
After saying that, Lu You brought Chu Xiu to find that Array Master. However, when they arrived, Chu Xiu was a little surprised.
The Array Masters of loose cultivators were also Array Masters. Basically, those who could become Array Masters were not poor. Basically, some small sects would even line up to ask the Array Master to help them set up Array Formations.
At the same time, those famous Blacksmiths were the same. Many cultivators would bring treasures and materials to ask the Array Master to forge a weapon for them. This was a very common thing.
However, this time, Lu You brought Chu Xiu to a run-down town. It looked like an ordinary and dilapidated courtyard. This did not look like the residence of an Array Master.
Lu You was too lazy to even knock on the door. He directly pushed the door open and said loudly, "Old Huang, I have business for you, and it is a big business!"
In the courtyard, an old man in his sixties walked out slowly. He was dressed in ordinary clothes but looked very neat. When he saw Chu Xiu in the courtyard, a strange look appeared in his eyes. He said, "Someone from the Blue Dragon Society? Lu You, you brat, you couldn't have tricked this big shot from the Azure Dragon Society, could you? Don't you know what I look like now? "
After saying that, the old man cupped his hands at Chu Xiu and said, "Lord, although this old man used to be an Array Master, he is now useless. Don't be fooled by this kid. This old man can't even set up the lowest Array Formation now."
When Lu You heard this, he immediately became angry. "Old Huang, I was kind enough to introduce you to business, and you actually doubt me? When have I, Lu You, ever fooled others? Not to mention, this is the top assassin of the Blue Dragon Society, 'Blood Demon' Chu Xiu, Official Chu. Official Chu only wants to repair a cultivation jade slip. It's very simple. Don't tell me your hands are so shaky that you can't even repair a cultivation jade slip? "
That Old Huang had already retired from the world for many years. What Blood Demon? What Chu Xiu? He didn't know a single thing.
However, after hearing that the assassin from the Azure Dragon Society only wanted to repair a cultivation transmission jade slip, Old Man Huang nodded and said, "That's not a problem. However, different cultivation transmission jade slips require different amounts of time. The higher the grade of the cultivation technique, the more information it contains, and the more formation arrays it contains. As a result, the time required will be longer as well."
Lu You said to Chu Xiu, "Official Chu, although this Old Huang's cultivation base has been crippled, his skill in the Array Dao is still there. He can't set up a formation, but repairing a cultivation jade slip shouldn't be a problem. And with his current state, even if he swallowed your cultivation jade slip, it wouldn't be of any use."
Lu You and Old Huang seemed to be very familiar with each other. Old Huang didn't seem to mind him saying that he was crippled in front of him. He could more or less understand why this Blue Dragon Society assassin had come looking for him to repair his cultivation jade slip.
Old Huang bitterly smiled at Chu Xiu and said, "Lord, you've also seen my current state. At my peak, I was at the Xiantian realm, but now I can't even maintain my Blood Condensation realm.
Setting up a formation also requires Inner Qi as the foundation. With my current strength, I can't even set up a formation. At most, I can only help others repair formations.
"So please don't worry, lord. Even if the cultivation jade slip you want me to repair contains a peerless divine art, a cripple like me won't be able to cultivate it.
"Furthermore, I've been a formation master for half my life. I know what I can do and what I can't do."
Glancing at Old Huang, Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's fine. Then I'll leave it to you. Don't worry, as long as you can help me repair this cultivation jade slip, the reward will not be small."
Chu Xiu was quite satisfied with Old Huang's help. A cripple was much more reliable than a highly skilled formation master. Furthermore, repairing a cultivation jade slip was a simple matter. Even a highly skilled formation master wouldn't be able to do it much faster.
The most important thing was that Old Huang's strength was very weak. He had barely reached the Blood Condensation realm, but in a real fight, he probably wouldn't even be able to beat someone who had only learned martial arts for a few days.
Chu Xiu was still used to being in control of everything. If Lu You found an Internal Qi realm cultivator with a large group of formation masters, Chu Xiu wouldn't be able to trust them.
Taking out the two halves of the cultivation jade slip, Chu Xiu handed it to Old Huang and said, "This is the cultivation jade slip. How long will it take to repair it?"
Old Huang looked at it carefully and said, "This cultivation jade slip is not simple. There are many formation runes inside, and they are at least at the Fifth Revolution. It will take a long time to repair, around two to three months. During this time, lord can wait here. Of course, it's fine even if you leave. This old man wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of lord. "
The repair time was much longer than Chu Xiu had expected. He had thought it would only take a few days.
"I'll leave it with you for now. This is the deposit."
Saying that, Chu Xiu tossed a piece of purple gold to Old Huang. At the same time, he tossed one to Lu You as a deposit.
Seeing the purple gold, Old Huang's eyes immediately lit up.
He did not lack ordinary valuables. After all, he was once an Innate Realm formation master. He would not starve to death.
However, purple gold was a strange metal that could be used for setting up formations and refining artifacts. It was a hard currency, and it was not easy to obtain a piece.
"Lord, please rest assured. This old man will definitely use the fastest speed to repair this cultivation jade slip." Old Huang received the purple gold and cupped his hands with a face full of joy.
Chu Xiu nodded and left the town with Lu You.
When they separated, Lu You cupped his hands and said to Chu Xiu, "Lord, please rest assured. Old Huang is still trustworthy. Furthermore, he won't attract attention here and will be absolutely safe."
Chu Xiu glanced at Lu You and said indifferently, "It's fine. I believe in my own strength as well."
After saying that, Chu Xiu's figure moved, and he left.
Sensing Chu Xiu's ice-cold gaze, Lu You immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He understood what Chu Xiu meant.
If something happened to the cultivation jade slip, not to mention Old Huang, even he would be implicated. Chu Xiu believed in his own strength. Hence, he did not care about Wind Sweeping Pavilion's background.
He looked at the purple gold in his hand and weighed it in his hand. It was about ten taels of silver. Just the deposit alone was already quite a lot.
However, Lu You still shook his head. It was not easy to deal with this group of fiendish Blue Dragon Society assassins. This money was not easy to earn.
