Chapter 79 – Qin Yang: The Sword Saint and His Apprentice Are Basically Walking Treasure Chests!

“It seems reaching the Supreme Realm in a short time is still impossible.”

When it came to comprehending Law Power, he was completely clueless and needed to spend some time to understand it properly.

Fortunately though.

Time was always on his side—things would work out eventually when the time came.

Thinking this.

Qin Yang relaxed and continued organizing the information in his mind, shifting his focus to another reward.

“True Array Decryption.”

This new reward was extraordinary—it compiled a complete collection of Array Formation Dao from across the world, containing numerous Array Formations, killing formations, defensive formations, and many profound methods for breaking formations.

What was Formation Dao?

At its essence, it was about humans emulating the grand cosmos, using available tools to create a miniature cosmos, thereby resolving various karmic ties.

It harmonized fortune, attracting good luck and warding off misfortune.

As Qin Yang contemplated the “True Array Decryption” in his mind, he realized that the vast world itself was actually a natural grand formation.

Emperors selecting burial sites for large-scale construction, using majestic mountains and rivers as lines, arranged geomancy formations to determine so-called “Dragon Points.”

Winding mountains and locking waters, Mysterious Gate Evasion.

The knowledge involved was immensely complex.

There were just too many intricacies.

An ordinary person might spend decades and still not fully grasp it.

But now.

Qin Yang simply sat cross-legged on the bed, gently closed his eyes, and a massive amount of related knowledge poured into his mind. Insights and explanations emerged clearly, as if he were being enlightened.

In an instant.

He grasped the true essence of Formation Dao.

Then, from one principle, myriad methods unfolded, giving rise to various Daoist formation techniques like Dipper Formation, Golden Barrier, Engraved Dragon… all easily mastered.

After just two and a half minutes of comprehension.

From beginner to proficient…

“Not bad, not bad.”

Qin Yang opened his eyes contentedly and glanced around the room. With this knowledge, even his perspective on the world felt renewed.

In his vision.

Everywhere was a potential site for setting up formations.

With sufficient materials, he could turn this small room into a deadly killing formation.

Once the killing formation was activated, its power would be immense.

An enemy stepping over the threshold would swiftly find themselves crossing the Naihe Bridge, drinking Meng Po’s soup.

Tsk, just imagining the scene.

The imagery was simply beautiful!

But!

There was one problem.

To set up such a powerful formation, he needed “Starstones” to supply stellar energy.

And these things were extremely expensive, only absorbable by Star Warriors who had reached the Innate Realm. They were hard currency, something only the wealthy could afford.

“Sigh, my salary just barely exceeds forty-five hundred—still far from enough.”

Thinking this.

Qin Yang sighed helplessly and pulled out the two Star Rings.

His only hope now lay within these rings.

The Sword Saint had been famous for a long time, so his Star Rings naturally contained rich treasures.

There were surely plenty of Starstones, precious herbs, Sword Dao Manuals, and even the “Myriad Swords Return” Manual inside.

But forcing them open wasn’t an option.

There was a risk of damaging the resources inside.

And he had a bit of an unlucky streak.

What should he do?

“I’ll ask for a half-day leave tomorrow morning, take some time to set up a small formation at home, and borrow a bit of fortune from heaven and earth…”

“Then I’ll open them.”

With this thought, Qin Yang felt quite pleased. He beckoned Xiaobai from the corner to come onto the bed and directly used her as a hugging pillow.

The soft, fluffy sensation curled up in his arms felt excellent. Xiaobai didn’t dare move, turning into a little fox and shrinking into a ball.

And so, the man and the fox embraced and fell asleep together.The night passed without incident.

The next day, as dawn broke, Qin Yang rose early and took Xiaobai to Jianghai City’s antique market. Under her astonished gaze, he haggled fiercely with an elderly vendor who had also come early.

He managed to drive the price down from 2,500 to 17.6.

In the end, he spent twenty yuan to acquire several old copper coins, a jade carp, a fortune gourd, and two free Shamanic totem carvings.

With all preparations complete,

Qin Yang also stopped by a flower shop to pick up a pot of “Golden Lotus” before returning home by noon.

…………….

Thump, thump.

Furniture-moving sounds echoed from the living room as Qin Yang directed Xiaobai to shift the coffee table, aligning it directly opposite the flowerpot by the entrance.

“Master, what are you doing?”

She pushed the table while wagging her tail, puzzled. “Don’t tell me you actually understand Array Formations?”

“Passably. I’ve read a bit.”

Without turning his head, Qin Yang slowly walked to the center of the Array Eye for household protection, flicking several copper coins into the corners with a wave of his hand.

He stepped in ritual patterns, his expression calm and focused.

“Master is amazing!”

Xiaobai, watching his stern face from the side, clapped and cheered him on.

But inwardly, she was already laughing, completely unconvinced.

You? Understanding Array Formations?

Who are you trying to fool!

This Fairy has been observing you for days and never once saw you use any formations!

Those stuffy old Taoists spend half their lives studying this…

You think skimming a couple of books makes you qualified?

“Hmph, just wait—this Fairy is going to mercilessly mock you later.”

Xiaobai snorted, sitting on the sofa with her short legs crossed, watching Qin Yang’s next moves.

“Placing these totem carvings here should just about do it.”

Qin Yang walked to the table and positioned the two free wooden carvings at opposite table corners.

With that, the small array was complete.

The knowledge within True Array Decryption was vast and profoundly mysterious—he’d only grasped it through the Enlightenment Space. This Qi-Gathering Array was merely a preliminary test, incomparable to grand formations harnessing mountains and seas, but it could still provide some warmth in winter, coolness in summer, and dispel cold pathogens.

From now on, minor illnesses like colds would be avoided.

Money for air conditioning and floor heating would be saved.

More importantly, it came with a slight luck boost—enough to ensure success in ten consecutive beverage draws.

“Not bad.”

Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction, turning to Xiaobai. “Come, Xiaobai, sense the Spiritual Energy here!”

“Oh, yes, Master.”

Hearing this from the sofa, Xiaobai quickly wrinkled her nose slightly, sniffing to detect the ambient Spiritual Energy.

The next moment,

Lush Spiritual Energy converged, forming in her perception like a funneled treasure basin—genuinely much stronger than before!

“?”

Xiaobai was dumbfounded, staring at Qin Yang in shock.

This level of spiritual charm gathering would take those stuffy old Taoists a full day, even weeks, and he managed it alone!?

“You… how did you do it?!”

Xiaobai gaped, instantly exclaiming in surprise.

Could he actually be a genius?!

Absurd!

“Seems it worked.”

Seeing Xiaobai’s reaction, Qin Yang felt thoroughly satisfied.

Fox spirits were naturally attuned to spiritual currents, adept at sensing fortune and misfortune. If Xiaobai had such a strong reaction, he had truly succeeded.

All this effort was to capture that faint, almost imperceptible thread of luck—enough for his upcoming box opening.

“Alright, the timing is ripe…”

“Time to open the box!”Qin Yang took out two Star Rings and began deconstructing the restrictions on them.

Star Power was injected.

Buzz! Buzz!

The star charts on the rings lit up, and the Star Power contained within surged, resisting the Star Power Qin Yang had invaded with, yet coincidentally dissolving into each other.

A moment later.

The Star Rings opened effortlessly.

Qin Yang used his spiritual sense to inspect them and was instantly thrilled.

A huge harvest!

Inside the rings, countless Starstones were piled high into small hills, along with a variety of rare flowers, exotic herbs, and precious medicinal materials. There were also numerous Sword Dao Manuals, including the Manual for Myriad Swords Return.

As for Huyan Jian’s ring, it also contained quite a few Starstones, though far fewer than the Sword Saint’s.

But since it was all free, why complain?

After he and his master arrived in Jianghai, not only had his cultivation soared, but he had also become rich overnight.

Thinking of this.

Qin Yang looked at the abundant gains and felt a wave of satisfaction: “These two, master and disciple, are practically gift-bearing angels!”

What can dispel worries?

Only sudden wealth!
