Chapter 181: Building Arrays

However, you can't blame him for being surprised; this matter is simply too out of the ordinary. Ban Shifu thought silently to himself. After all, for so many years, he had primarily interacted with array masters with full heads of white hair. He had never seen a small array master in their teens who could draw array laws in such a large-scale tool refining project.

Ban Shifu couldn't help but tsk tsk in wonder.

Since there was an array master, Ban Shifu also breathed a sigh of relief. He had nothing else to do, so he stood behind Mohua with Yu Elder, craning his neck to watch Mohua draw the array laws.

Yu Elder saw Ban Shifu looking intently and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Do you understand what you're looking at?"

Ban Shifu shook his head. "I don't understand." He counter-asked: "Do you understand what you're looking at?"

Yu Elder also shook his head. "I don't understand. What are you looking at?"

"If you don't understand, aren't you also looking at me?" Ban Shifu said.

Yu Elder laughed awkwardly. "I'm just curious, looking on from the side."

Ban Shifu thought silently to himself, I'm seeing such a young child drawing array laws for the first time, I'm even more curious than you.

Ban Shifu looked at Mohua, then looked at the array laws Mohua was drawing, and asked in a low voice:

"What grade of array laws are these?"

Yu Elder wasn't very clear either and could only estimate based on Mohua's standard of array laws: "Probably first grade."

Ban Shifu was startled and said in a lost voice: "Ah?"

Yu Elder gave him a complaining look and shushed: "Lower your voice a little, don't disturb him while he's drawing the array laws."

Ban Shifu lowered his voice again and asked: "What first grade?"

"First grade array laws, of course?"

Ban Shifu shook his head repeatedly. "Impossible!"

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter." Yu Elder had an indifferent attitude.

Ban Shifu indeed didn't believe it, but he felt that Yu Elder wouldn't deceive him. He thought about it back and forth, then just stared at the array laws under Mohua's brush. Although he didn't understand array laws, he could still count array patterns.

One, two... five. There are only five array patterns.

One, two, three... seven. There are only seven.

Ban Shifu's mood suddenly became complicated. A cultivator in their teens who can draw seven array patterns is already at the same level as an ordinary array master. With this standard, I actually unintentionally said "only" seven, I really have no idea what I'm talking about...

Ban Shifu continued to count.

Finally, in a single array Mohua finished drawing, he counted nine array patterns!

Nine patterns enter the first grade!

Ban Shifu was extremely shocked in his heart.

"It's actually really a first-grade array law?"

Yu Elder saw his shocked expression and was secretly pleased. When he heard that Mohua could draw first-grade array laws, he had the same expression and tone, and he thought he was probably just like Ban Shifu.

Ban Shifu looked at Yu Elder, his voice a little shaky, but he still tried to keep it low and said: "Then... is this child now... a first-grade array master?"

"He hasn't been officially graded by the Dao Court yet, so he doesn't count." Yu Elder said.

"That's still very impressive..."

Ban Shifu shook his head, still feeling unbelievable.

Now when he looked at Mohua drawing the array laws, his mood was one of admiration mixed with a hint of awe. This was a first-grade array law! In his entire life, he had only seen a few array masters who could draw first-grade array laws.

Ban Shifu stretched his neck again, looked at the array laws on the foundation stones, and couldn't help but praise:

"These array laws are drawn really well!"

Yu Elder said: "Didn't you say you don't understand array laws?"

"I don't need to understand!" Ban Shifu waved his hand. "Every stroke of these array laws, it's like they were carved from a mold, so regular and beautiful. In my life, I've never seen array laws with such beautiful brushstrokes!"

Mohua was being praised, and Yu Elder was also feeling secretly pleased, but on the surface, he still said modestly:

"Oh no, oh no, he's still a child, there's still a lot for him to learn."

Ban Shifu immersed himself in the array laws again and didn't bother with him further.

Mohua finished drawing a complex array. His divine sense was almost exhausted, so he stopped and sat on the ground to rest for a while.

Yu Elder immediately stepped forward, his expression kind, and said: "Tired?"

It was the first time Ban Shifu had seen this kind of "kind" expression on Yu Elder's face. He had dealt with Yu Elder for so many years, and his impression of him was always of a bad-tempered, sulky, stubborn person who was also blunt and loved to scold people.

At this moment, Yu Elder looked as if he had become a "kind" old grandpa...

It was simply like a change of person.

Ban Shifu was truly enlightened.

Mohua was indeed a bit tired. Drawing array laws on various large-scale building materials consumed quite a bit of spiritual power and divine sense, but it was still within his expected range.

"I'm okay, I want to meditate and rest for a while."

Mohua said. In fact, he wanted to meditate and use a meditation technique to recover his divine sense.

"Good, good, you rest, no rush."

Yu Elder said kindly, then he didn't disturb Mohua. Instead, he looked at the array laws Mohua had finished drawing and thought to himself that Ban Shifu was indeed right; they were truly regular and beautiful.

Ban Shifu listened to Yu Elder's words and suddenly became concerned. Yu Elder could not be in a hurry, but he couldn't.

He pulled Yu Elder aside and asked quietly: "How many array masters did you hire?"

"What do you mean, how many array masters?"

"Array masters to draw the building array laws, of course."

Yu Elder was slightly taken aback.

Ban Shifu was stunned. "It won't just be Mohua, this child, will it?"

Yu Elder also hesitated for a moment. "One, should be enough..."

Ban Shifu said slightly angrily: "How can one be enough? So many array laws, how can one child finish drawing them? Even if he can finish drawing them alone, this project will be dragged on until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse..."

Such a large tool refining factory, so many craftsmen, how can we afford to drag it on like this...

Yu Elder stroked his beard and couldn't help but frown. He really hadn't thought about this matter carefully. Anyway, he had handed the array law matter over to Mohua, and he always felt very relieved. Even if he wasn't relieved, it was no use, as he didn't understand array laws.

But Ban Shifu also had a point. The array laws on the building array map were dense, and who knew how many there were. Could Mohua, this child, finish drawing them alone? It wouldn't be good if he drew too much and consumed too much divine sense, harming his Sea of Consciousness.

Yu Elder was a little worried. It was okay if the tool refining factory progressed a little slowly, but Mohua must not get tired.

But then Yu Elder thought about it again. Generally, for matters related to array laws, Mohua would consider everything properly. If he didn't say anything, then there should be no problem.

Yu Elder asked Ban Shifu: "Generally, for so many array laws, how many array masters are needed to finish drawing them?"

"At least five or six, maybe even ten or more."

Yu Elder was startled. "So many?"

Ban Shifu couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. "What do you think? Building array laws contain a large number of array patterns. How can one or two array masters finish drawing them?"

Yu Elder's old face turned red, but it was fortunate that his face was dark, so it wasn't noticeable. He really wasn't clear about this kind of matter.

Before, the demon hunting sect was very poor. Where would they have spirit stones to build this kind of large-scale tool refining factory? It was already good if they could build a few rooms, and they didn't use any array laws either.

Now that they had a windfall, they thought about building a tool refining factory so that these low-level loose cultivators could live a better life. Otherwise, he wouldn't know until now that building array laws was such a troublesome matter. If it weren't for Mohua, it would probably cost a large amount of spirit stones to hire array masters.

When the tool refining factory and the pill refining factory were built, opened for business, and started making profit, they would definitely have to give Mohua a larger share of the spirit stones. Yu Elder thought secretly.
