Chapter 189: Null

Master Ban saw that Yin Mo’s chest had become bamboo-like and inexplicably felt much more at ease.

Although he initially held the utmost respect for array masters, there was also some resentment in his heart. However, as someone living under their roof, he had to bow down due to the array masters’ identity and status.

Others were array masters, while they were merely master craftsmen.

Array masters could live in magnificent cave mansions, while they, these master craftsmen, were only fit to build cave mansions.

Most of the buildings in this cultivation world were built brick by brick by them, the master craftsmen, yet not a single brick belonged to them.

But Yin Mo was unlike any other array master he had seen; not aloof, not arrogant, with eyes as clear as a mountain stream's spring water.

Master Ban looked at Yin Mo and involuntarily smiled.

Yin Mo saw that Master Ban was finally no longer frowning and also smiled, "Just leave the matter of the array methods to me, rest assured."

Master Ban nodded heavily, "I am at ease."

Then he picked up the wine cup and smiled at Yin Mo, saying, "I toast you one cup."

Yin Mo had no cup and no wine, and the wine tasted too strong, which he didn’t like. He just held the chicken leg in his hand and touched Master Ban’s cup once, saying, "Cheers!"

Master Ban laughed, the doubts in his heart completely gone. He drank the cup of wine in one gulp, then tasted the flavor of the wine and couldn't help but exclaim, "Good wine!"

In the following few days, Yin Mo began to speed up the drawing of the array methods.

As the Heaven Derivation Secret Art was cultivated deeper, his divine sense control became stronger, and Yin Mo’s array methods were drawn faster.

Moreover, these array methods were all ones that Yin Mo had practiced many times on the Dao Stele or on array paper. Every array pattern on them was rottenly familiar to Yin Mo.

Yin Mo's wrist danced, wielding the pen like flying. Under the pen, like flowing clouds and water, array patterns appeared one by one, and array methods formed one by one.

Master Ban watched in astonishment. Even Elder Yu, who had watched Yin Mo draw array methods many times, was secretly alarmed.

Such skilled techniques, like the foundation only an old array master immersed in it for over a hundred years would have.

Every stroke and painting was clear in his chest, he didn't even need to look with his eyes, the pen would fall and naturally form the array.

Just like this, another ten or so days passed, and Yin Mo then finished drawing all the array methods on the refining tool shop's building.

The progress was delayed by five or six days compared to the previous expectation, mainly because of the repeated harassment by the Qian family. The foundation stone was damaged and needed to be rebuilt, the wooden beams collapsed and needed to be reframed, and the array methods were smeared, so Yin Mo also had to redraw them from the beginning. Otherwise, the progress would have been several days ahead.

Master Ban looked at the complex and numerous array methods on the refining tool shop from the walls to various buildings, his eyes full of disbelief.

So many array methods were actually drawn by Yin Mo alone…

Although he had witnessed Yin Mo's speed in drawing array methods and had already prepared himself mentally beforehand, he was still endlessly shocked when he saw it in person at this time.

This was the largest refining tool shop in Immortal City! So many array methods were actually finished by one person!

Master Ban fiercely pinched his own thigh. A wave of pain came, and Master Ban exhaled, confirming that he was indeed not dreaming.

Now that Yin Mo had finished drawing these array methods, his task was temporarily complete. The remaining work was for the master craftsmen to seal up the array methods and further complete the building.

These matters were left for Master Ban and his team to worry about.

Yin Mo rubbed his wrist and moved his shoulders a bit.

He had been drawing array methods these past few days, and now that the great work was announced, he could also temporarily rest. He would also take advantage of this time to summarize his gains and losses regarding array methods.

The array methods used in the building array diagram were mainly earth and wood attributes, supplemented by metal, water, and fire attributes. Basically, all five elements of array methods would be used.

Five elements array methods are the most widely applied array methods in the cultivation world. Yin Mo took this opportunity to broaden his horizons on some basic array methods, consolidate the application of five elements array styles, and gain a relatively deep understanding of the use of array methods and the influences between array methods.

Moreover, after this period of drawing array methods day and night, Yin Mo’s divine sense also grew, his divine sense control gradually became stronger, and his foundation in array methods became deeper.

Yin Mo nodded, feeling quite satisfied with himself, and then began to prepare for the next stage of learning array methods.

Master Ban was then busy with the subsequent engineering completion of the refining tool shop. However, the problem he was most worried about, the array methods, had been solved, and the engineering would also be completed on schedule. Master Ban also felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and his whole body relaxed.

Once the refining tool shop was complete, they could settle the spirit stones. He also had an account to settle with the craftsman disciples under him, and everyone could go home and have a good New Year.

As soon as he thought of this, Master Ban felt completely comfortable. He had been busy for several months, and in the evening, he could finally get a good night's sleep.

At the same time, Qian Hong’s brows were furrowed.

According to the reports from the Qian family disciples, that group of master craftsmen had already begun the finishing work on the building.

In his understanding, this was absolutely impossible!

Finishing the building meant that the array methods inside had already been drawn.

Such a large refining tool shop, even if only basic and simple array methods were used, it would be impossible to finish drawing them so quickly. What's more, he had been continuously sending people to harass them before, delaying the construction progress of the refining tool shop.

In Qian Hong's expectation, even if the refining tool shop went smoothly, it would take at least a month to complete. But in such a short time, they had actually started finishing?

"Could it be Yu Changlin's scheme again? Trying to tell me that the refining tool shop has been finished building, so that the Qian family will give up on this?"

Yu Changlin was thick-faced and black-hearted, it was normal for him to come up with any idea.

Qian Hong's gaze slightly condensed. He instructed someone to invite Grandmaster Qian. Then the two of them came to a teahouse elegant room outside the refining tool shop and sat down. At the same time, they released their divine sense and swept towards the refining tool shop.

Grandmaster Qian's divine sense had just swept over when he withdrew it and said, "The array methods have been drawn!"

Qian Hong was secretly surprised and asked, "What level of array methods?"

Grandmaster Qian hesitated slightly and said slowly, "Compared to the array methods in our Qian family mansion, they are not inferior."

Qian Hong found it hard to believe, "How is that possible?"

The array methods in their Qian family mansion were built with great cost. They invited a first-grade array master to personally design the building array diagram and had many array masters draw the array together, taking a long time to build.

What virtue and ability did Yu Changlin have to build a refining tool shop alone that could be mentioned in the same breath as the array methods of the Qian family mansion?

Grandmaster Qian also didn't quite believe it. He wrinkled his brows and thought, "I just swept over with my divine sense from afar, I haven't looked closely yet, but the strength of those array methods on the outer wall is indeed not too ordinary."

"Grandmaster's meaning is…"

"They might only have paid attention to the array methods on the outer wall. The internal array methods might be quite crude, or it's very possible that no array methods were drawn inside."

Qian Hong nodded. Grandmaster Qian's speculation was very reasonable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Monster Hunter Association could finish drawing the array methods inside such a large refining tool shop in such a short time.

"There's still one problem," Grandmaster Qian said, "Even if it's just the array methods on the outer wall, based on the strength of these array methods, the number of array patterns they contain is not something one or two array masters can finish drawing."

Qian Hong also furrowed his brows. One doubt simultaneously surged in the hearts of the two:

Exactly how many array masters does the Monster Hunter Association have?
