While Pillheart Patriarch began burning incense and meditating, Ouming Yin also began adjusting his state of mind. He used a completely different method from Pillheart Patriarch's. Through a special breathing technique, he breathed in and out the Heaven Earth essence Qi.
People could see that with Ouming Yin as the center, the surrounding essence of heaven and earth automatically condensed into light spots and gathered toward Ouming Yin.
After these points of light entered Ouming Yin's body, they naturally vanished. Slowly, Ouming Yin entered a mystical state. There was no law, no form, no void, and no self.
"This is a Qi Nurturing mystic technique passed down by Ouming Yin's ancestors. The two alchemist sages are using their true abilities!"
The other alchemists were envious of Ouming Yin and the Pillheart Sect's heritage and mystic technique. They did not have such Qi Nurturing mystic techniques. All they could do was meditate and regulate their breathing. Although the effects were slightly worse, they could make do with it.
Many alchemists had already begun to study the Alchemy God's Grand Formation. They didn't expect to be able to decipher this formation, they were here to learn and gain experience. The numerous runes contained the truths of the Alchemy Dao. Being able to comprehend a few runes was already a great fortune for them.
The Herb Nurturing Array was like a mountain that they could not see its peak. However, they had sufficient time. All they needed to do was climb a little.
A few hours later, the meditating Ouming Yin suddenly converged all his aura. At the same time, Patriarch Pillheart opened his eyes. The Soul Seeping Incense in front of him had been completely burned away!
They had simultaneously ended their Qi Nurturing mystic techniques.
"Hehe, Curmudgeon Solitary, you opened your eyes the moment I converged my aura. Why? Are you anxious? Don't you usually take a few days to nurture your Qi? Why did you end it in just a few hours? Are you worried that you will lose your Purple Numinous Herbal Soil and divine alchemist heritage? Wouldn't you have burned the Soul Seeping Incense for nothing? "
Ouming Yin looked at Patriarch Pillheart with a teasing look.
However, Patriarch Pillheart only sneered in response. He did not say a word and gently beckoned with his hand. He produced a seal that shot into the ground like an arrow. Following that, an array pattern lit up in the ground.
The array pattern spanned more than ten feet. The runic patterns on its surface shimmered as though they were alive.
This is …
Everyone looked at Patriarch Pillheart in astonishment. The alchemists who were meditating also subconsciously stopped.
The runes in front of him grew brighter and brighter. It was as if a small sun was being born!
This left them dumbfounded. Patriarch Pillheart had been meditating all this while. He did not even take a glance at the array patterns. But now, the moment he finished his meditation, he produced a hand seal, triggering an array pattern.
Upon seeing the brilliance of the array pattern, everyone knew that it meant that Patriarch Pillheart had already figured out the principles behind the array pattern!
How could it be so fast!?
Everyone was astounded. Ouming Yin's expression turned nasty. In fact, it was nothing much. He could also figure out an array pattern and activate it, but that would require a long period of study. Patriarch Pillheart had done it instantly!
"You've seen this formation pattern before, right?" Ouming Yin asked in a deep voice.
"Never seen him before." Patriarch Pillheart sneered. "However, there are many Great Dao in this world that have common principles. In addition, I have read a portion of the divine alchemist's manuals, so I was naturally able to draw parallels and instantly gain insights into its profoundness."
Patriarch Pillheart said proudly. His words left people lamenting their inadequacies.
They had been meditating for so long but had yet to crack a single mystery. As for Patriarch Pillheart, he had seen through an array pattern at a glance. The difference was just too great.
"If this continues, wouldn't Patriarch Solitary be able to crack the Herb Nurturing Array soon?"
Even an alchemist found it unbelievable when he said that.
"It can't be that fast … Patriarch Solitary himself said that he would need a century or two. But without a doubt, Patriarch Solitary is the person with the highest chance of cracking the Herb Nurturing Array."
Many people were convinced. At that moment, the Pillheart Sect disciples were extremely proud. Their patriarch was just too powerful. He far exceeded everyone else.
"This is Patriarch's strength. I've long heard that Patriarch's alchemy skills are peerless. No one can match him. I'm truly lucky to see Patriarch in action today."
"I think even the divine alchemist might not be much stronger than Patriarch. In time, our Patriarch might even become the next divine alchemist."
A few Pillheart Sect juniors spoke excitedly. It was as though they were the ones who had seen through the array pattern at a glance.
"Where's that blind Yi Yun?"
A narrow-eyed Pillheart Sect disciple suddenly recalled Yi Yun. Everyone looked up and saw that Yi Yun had already walked deep into the desolate plains. It was unknown what he was up to.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot. What a joke."
The narrow-eyed Pillheart Sect disciple sneered. But when he said that, his voice suddenly paused. Following that, he looked in astonishment at Yi Yun's feet.
At some point in time, golden threads seemed to appear wherever Yi Yun walked.
The golden threads spread out like a spider web and were more than a hundred feet wide.
"What … is that?"
The narrow-eyed Pillheart Sect disciple was surprised. When he spoke, many people looked at Yi Yun.
All they saw was the golden threads flickering. Although the glow was not obvious, there were more and more of them.
Gradually, the golden threads gathered together.
It was still dim, like some ashes that had not been completely burned, emitting a residual light.
"What's there to be surprised about? Patriarch saw through an array pattern at a glance. This punk has been studying it for so long. It's nothing impressive if he manages to pull off some tricks."
The narrow-eyed Pillheart Sect disciple forced himself to say. He was actually extremely astonished. Ignoring a godly person like Patriarch, there were more than ten thousand of them. Yet, they had failed to do anything despite all this time. Yet, Yi Yun, a person who had cultivated for less than two hundred years, had managed to make the golden threads surface from the ground.
He did not even understand the golden threads, so how could he not be envious?
"Wait, that is …"
Someone suddenly discovered something incredulous. He pointed at the constantly converging golden threads. They had already gathered into a golden blob of light. Furthermore, it was growing taller and taller. Its end had already left the ground.
Following that, a scene that made their jaws drop happened. The blob of light expanded in midair, forming a golden door of light!
The door of light was more than ten feet tall. Its surface was shimmering like mercury. It was unknown where it led to.
And the door of light appeared in front of Yi Yun.
Yi Yun looked at the door of light and exhaled. He turned to Nine Li Magus Maiden and said, "Let's enter."
"This …"
Nine Li Magus Maiden was astonished when she saw the door of light. She knew that Yi Yun had found the array's entrance!
Over the years, most alchemists, even alchemist sages, had studied the Herb Nurturing Array from the outside.
However, Yi Yun had begun from the inside!
Nine Li Magus Maiden did not hesitate. She glanced at Yi Yun as her eyes shimmered with a strange glint. She nodded and said, "Alright!"
Following that, Nine Li Magus Maiden stepped through the door of light with Yi Yun!
Aged Blackrock was also extremely alarmed. He never expected Yi Yun to be able to accomplish such a feat at such a young age. In the future, he might even be able to complete the array!
He was worried about Nine Li Magus Maiden's safety, so he entered the door of light as well.
The next moment, the door of light vanished.
With the disappearance of the golden door, the desolate plains returned to its silent state. It was as though nothing had happened.
The ten thousand alchemists present, including Patriarch Pillheart and Ouming Yin, watched helplessly as the scene unfolded.
At that moment, Patriarch Pillheart's face was as black as the bottom of a wok.
"Patriarch, what did Yi Yun do …" The small-eyed Pillheart Sect disciple was still unsure of what had happened.
His question was like a handful of salt being sprinkled on Patriarch Pillheart's wound.
He had touched a sore spot. He glared at the Pillheart Sect disciple. Yi Yun had found the array's entrance himself but the Pillheart Sect's juniors did not know what Yi Yun had done. With this comparison, Patriarch Pillheart suddenly felt that the Pillheart Sect that he had invested so much effort into had nurtured a bunch of trash!
Patriarch Pillheart did not say a word but the disgust in his eyes made the small-eyed disciple's heart palpitate. He realized that he had said something wrong and incurred the patriarch's disgust.
The small-eyed disciple felt like he had been punched in the head. He was a junior disciple of the Pillheart Sect but he had been disgust by the patriarch?
"Yi Yun has entered the Herb Nurturing Array's interior!"
A Pillheart Sect elder could not bear to see his junior in such a state. He warned him with a Yuan Qi voice transmission.
But this warning left the small-eyed disciple in a daze. "He has entered the array's interior and studied the array from the inside out?"
It was obvious the difference between studying it from the inside and from the outside.
The ten thousand alchemists present also understood what Yi Yun had done.
People exchanged looks and were at a loss for words. They previously believed that Yi Yun was studying the array patterns but in fact, Yi Yun was searching for the array's entrance!
The height Yi Yun stood at from the beginning far exceeded them. And this was built on the foundation of his strength. Even if they wanted to study the array from the inside out, they would not be able to find the entrance.
"Can we enter as well?"
Many people looked at Patriarch Pillheart.
Although Yi Yun's actions had shocked them, Patriarch Pillheart's ability to figure out an array pattern at a glance and trigger it was something that exceeded their imaginations.
Perhaps, Patriarch Pillheart could also find the array's entrance!
The Pillheart Sect disciples were especially confident in their patriarch. They believed that once their patriarch found the entrance, they could enter as well. They would definitely gain more insights from the Herb Nurturing Array's interior!
Patriarch Pillheart had a sullen expression as he walked deep into the desolate plains. He wanted to find the array's entrance.
Ouming Yin followed as well. His expression was equally ugly. Thinking back to the scene of him using the Qi Nurturing Technique, he felt like he had done nothing useful. Especially compared to Yi Yun, his actions made him look like a retard.
