Chapter 206: Guess

The array on the refining *dan* furnace has been completely drawn, and Mo Hua also finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has already drawn all the arrays that needed to be drawn, and the subsequent matters do not require him to worry.

Master Chen is managing the refining tools workshop, Old Mister Feng is managing the refining *dan* workshop, Master Ban is handling the later construction details, and Elder Yu is in charge of the overall situation.

At most, some small areas will use arrays, and Mo Hua can simply add them casually.

The remaining matter is just waiting to divide the spirit stones.

Elder Yu said that after the refining tools workshop and refining *dan* workshop start making profits, all cultivators who have contributed, whether demon hunters, refining tool masters, refining *dan* masters, or general loose cultivators, will receive a considerable amount of spirit stones.

Mo Hua has taken on all the arrays, and Elder Yu said he will receive the most spirit stones.

As for the exact amount, Mo Hua does not ask. Anyway, he currently has enough spirit stones to use, and he just needs to focus on the arrays.

Mo Hua summarized that he drew a lot of arrays this time.

The building arrays for the refining tools workshop and refining *dan* workshop are extensive, mainly based on earth and wood, with metal, water, and fire as auxiliaries, involving the applications of various five elements arrays.

Mo Hua planned and coordinated the array diagrams, and drew them again from beginning to end, consolidating his foundation in arrays.

The arrays used on the refining tools furnace and refining *dan* furnace are both first-grade compound arrays. The difficulty is very high, and Mo Hua revised and modified them, stumbling along the way, but managed to draw them all.

His divine sense has strengthened slightly, and his understanding of arrays has become deeper. He also has a basic concept of the principles and applications of compound arrays.

Moreover, benefiting from his understanding of compound array hubs, he can now draw ordinary arrays in one go by grasping the structure of the array hubs, significantly increasing his speed, although it consumes slightly more divine sense.

However, this degree of divine sense consumption is not really a problem for Mo Hua.

In summary, although these days have been tiring, they have also been very fulfilling.

Mo Hua feels he has gained a lot.

The more than a thousand bottles of demon blood he had accumulated have also been consumed by a large half, and he can finally rest a little now.

Mo Hua touched his small face, feeling that he has become a bit hungry and thin from being busy drawing arrays every day recently. When he goes home, he must ask his mother to make some delicious food to reward himself.

"What should I eat?"

Mo Hua was calculating while walking home with light steps.

In the Qian family great hall.

A black tripod-patterned carpet was laid on the ground, a clear mountains and waters screen, crimson red lacquered tables and cabinets, an auspicious beast mother-child incense burner with curling incense smoke, a scene of luxury.

Qian Hong was sitting at the front of the hall, and Qian Grandmaster was sitting in the lower position.

The two of them sat opposite each other, drinking tea in the hazy incense aroma.

It's just that the calming incense had been burning for a long time, but neither of them could calm down.

Qian Shunzhi entered the door, respectfully performed a greeting, and reported:

"Reporting to the family head, we could not inquire about clues regarding other array masters among the demon hunters. We only heard that there is a child among the demon hunters who is skilled in arrays, and everyone calls him 'Little Array Master'."

"Little Array Master?" Qian Grandmaster frowned, "How old is he?"

"Not very old, seems to be only about ten years old, surname Mo. As for his exact name, appearance, and where he lives... the demon hunters are very tight-lipped, we cannot inquire."

Qian Hong showed an unhappy expression.

Qian Shunzhi lowered his head, not daring to breathe loudly.

Qian Grandmaster pondered for a moment and said, "It's definitely not this child, but it should be related to this child."

Qian Hong considered and said, "Grandmaster's meaning is that the array master who is opposing us is very likely this child's master, or perhaps the two have some kind of master-disciple relationship..."

"Correct." Qian Grandmaster nodded, "Arrays cannot be self-taught without a teacher. To be able to stand out in arrays at such a young age and be called 'Little Array Master', he must have a highly skilled teacher or a personally transmitted master."

Qian Hong instructed Qian Shunzhi, "Continue to investigate."

Qian Shunzhi hesitated, "This... how to investigate..."

He has investigated everything that can be investigated and asked everyone who can be asked.

Previously, he sent Qian family descendants disguised as passing merchants to chat and drink with demon hunters in a lively eatery to probe for some fragments of information.

But in less than two days, they were discovered by the demon hunters.

When they went to probe again, as soon as they mentioned "array master", the demon hunters' vigilance obviously increased, and general loose cultivators also kept their mouths shut.

If they asked too much, there would be demon hunters with unfriendly expressions turning to question them back.

If they answered poorly, they would probably get a beating.

Qian Hong frowned, "Then don't ask about array masters, ask if there are any unfamiliar cultivators or mysterious experts. Probe indirectly, you can always find some clues."

Qian Shunzhi received the order and was about to withdraw when he was called back by Qian Grandmaster.

"There is still one more matter." Qian Grandmaster instructed, "That little array master, find a way to get some of the arrays he has drawn, and I will take a careful look at them."

"Yes." Qian Shunzhi respectfully said.

The south city refining tools workshop has been built, and the refining *dan* workshop is also on the verge of completion.

The pressure on the Qian family has multiplied, and the An family is also somewhat uneasy.

Old Master An arrived at the private room of the teahouse outside the south city again, observing the distant refining tools workshop with An family head An Yonglu.

What was once a piece of ruins, a messy and desolate land, now has a huge refining tools workshop suddenly completed.

Adjacent to it, a refining *dan* workshop of similar scale is also about to be completed.

Old Master An felt emotional, "Elder Yu really built it!"

An Yonglu was a little worried, "If this continues, we will probably have even less room to stand."

"These two trades, refining tools and refining *dan*, I estimate that within a hundred years, our Qian family cannot achieve anything. Not only can we not eat meat, but even stealing a mouthful of soup from the side will be quite difficult."

Old Master An felt disheartened.

Originally, the Qian family already pressed them to the point of breathlessness, and now with the addition of two such large-scale refining tools workshop and refining *dan* workshop in this south city, the An family has no way out.

"This is also good." An Yonglu was somewhat relieved, "Anyway, we can't compete, so we can just peacefully do the spirit meals building business."

Old Master An looked at his son with a feeling of disappointment, "Doing the meals building business for a lifetime, looking at people's faces, what prospects can there be?"

"At least we can make a living, right..." An Yonglu muttered in a low voice.

His appearance almost had the words "no great ambitions" written on his face.

Old Master An felt a little tired.

This son of his, on the surface, looked quite proper and had the demeanor of a family head. But once he encountered problems, he only thought of muddling through, without any bit of enterprising spirit.

No wonder the little rich man he taught also had no big ambitions.

Old Master An was too lazy to say more about him.

An Yonglu also naturally drank tea in silence, glancing at the refining tools workshop from the corner of his eye, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, saying:

"Dad, the outer wall used seems to be a very high-skilled array..."

Old Master An glanced at him, "Can you see what array it is?"

"Cannot see." An Yonglu shook his head, "But I feel it's not ordinary, at least compared to the arrays used in our An family residence, it's much better."

"You say, where did Elder Yu find the array master?" An Yonglu asked curiously.

Old Master An did not speak, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, vaguely having a guess, but still not quite daring to believe it.

An Yonglu saw this and asked, "Dad, do you know?"

Old Master An frowned, remained silent, and after a long time slowly said, "Do you still remember that child who saw through our An family arrays..."

An Yonglu was stunned for a long time upon hearing this, involuntarily widened his mouth, and said in disbelief, "It won't be..."

The fifth watch is finished.

Thanks to Zhang Ziyuan's reward.
