The Fellow Xie that Zhou Yuntian mentioned was called Xie Yun Han. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He wasn't tall and had a thin figure. He was a Cloud River Seventh Order cultivator.
Such a cultivation at such a young age undoubtedly meant one thing. Xie Yun Han's cultivation aptitude was not high. It could even be said that he was very poor.
There was a special existence in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. They were known as veteran Ninth Order cultivators. They were limited by their aptitude. After opening one hundred and eighty Spirit Apertures, it was difficult for their cultivation to progress. The minimum requirement for a cultivator to break through to the Cloud River Realm was to open two hundred and forty Spirit Apertures and switch to a Heaven Grade Secret Art. Therefore, these veteran Ninth Order cultivators were unable to break through to the Cloud River Realm and could only waste their time in the Ninth Order.
Generally speaking, although there would not be any stagnant cultivators like veteran Ninth Order cultivators on the Cloud River Battlefield, there were still some middle-aged faces. However, there were not many of them.
Xie Yun Han was undoubtedly one of them. In the entire Fox Immortal Valley, he was the oldest, but his cultivation was not the highest.
Under Zhou Yuntian's lead, Lu Ye met Xie Yun Han and they got to know each other. After learning that Lu Ye cultivated the Dao of Arrays and was arranged to be his assistant, Xie Yun Han was undoubtedly very happy. There were so many people in Fox Immortal Valley, but he was the only Array Cultivator. He had to arrange and maintain all the Spirit Arrays by himself. He was so busy every day that he was mentally and physically exhausted. If not for this, his cultivation would not only be at the Cloud River Seventh Order.
Lu Ye even met some white-haired old men. They were all cultivators who were unable to open more Spirit Apertures because of their lack of aptitude.
On the Battlefield of the Cloud River, there were very few cultivators who were very old. This was because the cultivation of Cloud River Tier cultivators could rely on things like Spirit Lots to rapidly increase their cultivation level. As long as a cultivator's luck was not too bad, and his personality was too lazy, his cultivation level would always be able to increase bit by bit.
However, it did not mean that it did not exist. Everyone's aptitude was different, so their cultivation speed was naturally different.
Lu Ye nodded, "Naturally."
Xie Yun Han waved his hand, "Follow me." Saying so, he led the way.

Soon, they arrived at a corner of Fox Immortal Valley. Xie Yunhan pointed ahead and said, "There's a trapping formation here, but it's been set up for some time. I'm preparing to change its location. Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll have to trouble you to remove this trapping formation."
"Fellow Daoist Xie, I'll leave Fellow Daoist Lu to you. He's new here, so there are many things he doesn't understand. You'll have to help him," Zhou Yuntian said.
Xie Yunhan said, "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhou."
After Zhou Yuntian left, Xie Yunhan looked Lu Ye up and down. His eyes were filled with unconcealable joy. Obviously, he welcomed Lu Ye's arrival. He said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I want to test your attainments in the Dao of Arrays. You won't mind, right?"
The method used to set up this Trap Array was not exquisite, and the strength of the entire Array was not high. Even if he accidentally entered it and got trapped, he could still break it with brute force within the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
With his current attainments in the Array Dao, it would be a piece of cake for him to dispel this Array Formation.
He pondered for a moment, pondering whether he should reveal his true abilities or hide his true abilities.
"Alright!" Lu Ye nodded and stepped forward. With the enhancement of his Insight Spirit Inscriptions, he observed the Array Formation in front of him.
Breaking Arrays was something he was very familiar with. It was even easier than setting up an Array.
After a few breaths, he came up with a plan.
He was just a Fourth-Order Cloud River Realm cultivator. If it wasn't for his special abilities, the Fox Demon might not even look at him.
If he wanted to kill the Fox Demon, he would have to gain her trust and respect! Compared to that, the possibility of attracting Xie Yunhan's jealousy was nothing.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye immediately got to work.
If he revealed his true abilities, he might attract Xie Yunhan's disgust and jealousy. After all, he was the only Array Cultivator in the entire Fox Immortal Valley and was highly regarded by the Fox Demon. Once he showed that his attainments in the Dao of Arrays were higher than Xie Yunhan's, Xie Yunhan's treatment would definitely not be as good as before.
But this way, he could take advantage of the situation and make the Fox Demon value him more and entrust him with important tasks. This would also make it easier for him to take action in the future.
When he met the Fox Demon yesterday, she was obviously the most interested in Li Baxian because Li Baxian was famous and had great potential. Next was Xia Liang because Xia Liang was the strongest.
Looking at the leopard through a tube, Xie Yunhan vaguely sensed that Lu Ye's attainments in the Dao of Arrays were not trivial. However, he could not see much from just one Array. Xie Yunhan immediately led him around the Fox Immortal Valley.
Some Arrays needed to be removed, some needed to be strengthened and maintained, and some places needed to be rearranged.
Under Xie Yunhan's instructions, Lu Ye meticulously and quickly completed one task after another.
In just twenty breaths, the Trapping Array was perfectly broken and the Array Flags were retrieved one by one.
Xie Yunhan was stunned and amazed, "Fellow Cultivator Lu's attainments in the Dao of Arrays seem to be very high?"
Although this Array was arranged by him, in all fairness, even if he did it himself, his efficiency might not be as fast as Lu Ye's.
Xie Yunhan did not show any jealousy or disgust as Lu Ye expected. Instead, he was very happy. He pulled Lu Ye's arm and said, "I've stolen half a day of leisure. Fellow Cultivator Lu, come, accompany me for a drink."
Lu Ye naturally would not refuse. He could take this opportunity to improve their relationship and learn more about the situation in the Fox Immortal Valley from Xie Yunhan.
Following Xie Yunhan to his loft, Xie Yunhan personally cooked a few dishes and dug out a jar of hidden wine from the open space behind the loft.
The scheduled day's work was all completed by noon.
The surprise in Xie Yunhan's eyes grew stronger. Previously, when Lu Ye was sent to assist him, he only thought that his future tasks would be easier. Now, he knew that Lu Ye's attainments in the Dao of Arrays far surpassed him.
It was more than easy, this was simply picking up a treasure.
After three rounds of wine, the atmosphere was much more harmonious. The Fellow Cultivator Lu in Xie Yunhan's mouth also became Brother Lu. Although it was the first time the two met, because of the secret technique planted by the fox demon, Xie Yunhan did not have much vigilance against Lu Ye.
Basically, as Zhou Yuntian said before, as long as they entered the Fox Immortal Valley, they would be family in the future.
The jar of wine was quickly finished. Xie Yunhan got up and said, "Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'll go get another jar."
On the second floor of the pavilion, Xie Yunhan and Lu Ye sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.
Because of Second Senior Sister, Lu Ye rarely drank. However, with his cultivation level, as long as he did not drink too much, it would not affect him much.
He was not in a hurry to inquire about the situation in the Fox Immortal Valley. He just casually chatted with Xie Yunhan.
Most of it was given to Li Baxian by him. He only kept a small part for himself. After all, it was useless for him to keep it.
He opened the seal and poured a bowl for Xie Yunhan and half a bowl for himself.
Xie Yunhan picked it up and sniffed it gently. His eyes were intoxicated. He raised his head and drank it all. Then, he closed his eyes and tasted it for a while. Then, he shook his head and said, "Yunzhou's Jasper Flower Wine is still so sweet."
Lu Ye hurriedly said, "Brother Xie, I have some here. You don't have to trouble yourself."
Saying so, he took out several jars of different wines from his storage space.
He didn't drink, but he had killed so many cultivators from the Myriad Devils Ridge. Many of them were fond of wine, so there would always be some wine from the Nine Prefectures in their storage bags. They all became his spoils of war.
Xie Yunhan smiled. "Whether it's the War Province or the Cloud Province, we are family here."
"Yes, Brother Xie."
He drank another big bowl.
"If Brother Xie likes to drink, drink more." Lu Ye raised his hand and filled his bowl again. He asked casually, "Brother Xie is from the Cloud Province?"
"Yes, I am from the Cloud Province." A look of reminiscence appeared in Xie Yunhan's eyes. "Back then, I loved this Jasper Flower Wine the most. Is Brother Lu also from the Cloud Province?"
Lu Ye said, "I'm from the War Province."
He really wanted to ask him what he had been busy with for the past twelve years. Why was he only at the Cloud River Realm Seventh Order?
Xie Yunhan seemed to have thought of something again and could not help but sigh. "It's been twelve years. Look at the people coming and going in the valley. The new generation replacing the old generation. Sigh!"
"In this valley, is there anyone who has been here longer than Brother Xie?" Lu Ye asked.
Lu Ye poured the wine and said casually, "Brother Xie, I'm new here. There are many things in the valley that I don't know. Brother Xie seems to have been here for a long time. If I do anything wrong in the future, I hope Brother Xie can give me some pointers."
Xie Yunhan picked up some food with his chopsticks and said proudly while eating, "Brother, don't worry. You and I work together and have similar temperaments. This Xie will take care of you in the future. I don't dare to say anything else, but no one in the valley knows the taboos of Fox Immortal Valley better than I do. After all, this Xie has been here for twelve years. "
[Twelve years …] Lu Ye's eyes twitched.
Since he said so, Lu Ye did not ask any more questions to avoid alerting others. He immediately raised his big bowl and said, "Brother Xie, let me toast you again."
Xie Yunhan said, "Brother Xie is too polite. Cheers, cheers!"
They drank from noon to night. Lu Ye did not manage to find out much from Xie Yunhan. However, what he knew now verified his previous guess. In this seemingly peaceful and auspicious Fox Immortal Valley, there was definitely some invisible danger hidden within. This danger would cause a person with a higher cultivation to die faster.
Xie Yunhan chuckled, shook his head and said, "That's not true. Basically, the people who come here will only be here for one or two years at most …" At this point, he suddenly sobered up a lot. He stopped talking and said in a low voice, "In any case, you and I, as formation cultivators, are indispensable talents under His Honor. Therefore, our safety is guaranteed. Another point, Brother Lu, remember not to increase your cultivation too quickly!"
"Why is that?" Lu Ye faintly felt that he seemed to have touched on some secret. Listening to Xie Yunhan's words, it seemed that if his cultivation was raised too fast, he would encounter some danger.
Xie Yunhan did not explain and only said, "Listen to me. In these years, there have been many geniuses in the valley. Their cultivation has advanced rapidly, but so what? Now, they have all turned into dust. On the contrary, this Xie has been living until today."
