After some effort, Qi Ping quickly received several array secret manuals from Meng Yan.

Among them were "Tier One Array Basics," "Array Master's Cultivation Experience Notes," "Tier One Array Compendium," "Spirit Gathering Technique," "Spirit Gathering Array from Beginner to Advanced"...

In addition, there were many books on array theories, case studies, and biographies of famous array masters for Qi Ping to reference as he cultivated as an array master.

The completeness and comprehensiveness of this knowledge was completely beyond Qi Ping's expectations.

"Meng, you've really put your heart into this!"

For this, Qi Ping gave back five thousand spirit stones.

Originally, Meng Yan said it wasn't necessary, because Qi Ping had previously helped him kill the talents of three rival sects, and that contribution was enough to exchange for these items.

However, Qi Ping still insisted on giving, because regardless of Meng Yan's personal situation, that was his own business. He enjoyed the benefits of this identity, but also bore many dangers and pressures it brought.

Qi Ping only knew that acquiring this thing required a price, especially when he now had the strength to pay with spirit stones.

This was already much better than buying outside. These were truly the essence that Meng Yan had acquired, especially those array experiences left by high-level array masters, which many people couldn't buy even if they wanted to.

...

After bringing back these array secret manuals, Qi Ping curiously delved into them.

Among the four arts of immortal cultivation: alchemy, artifact refining, talisman crafting, and arrays, he was most curious about and fond of arrays.

Alchemy is the most profitable of the four arts, but Qi Ping wasn't interested, especially since bees could act as low-level alchemists, making money and producing honey for him, he had no further desire to study it.

The little knowledge of elixirs he learned was only to help bees produce more effective honey, far from mastering the path of alchemy.

As for artifact refining, Qi Ping was even less interested. Blacksmithing was too dull for him; he couldn't see himself persisting unless he had no other choice.

Talisman crafting was decent; it could make money and prepare numerous talismans for battle, throwing them around during fights. Compared to alchemy and artifact refining, Qi Ping preferred talisman crafting slightly more.

But if you compare talisman crafting to arrays, talismans would rank much lower in Qi Ping's heart.

For Qi Ping, arrays were the ultimate power.

After all, Qi Ping didn't mind killing, but he had no interest in experiencing such bloodshed. He preferred tending to his fields and bees in his territory, so talismans were also limited in usefulness to him.

But arrays were entirely different!

They could protect his territory!

Conceal his territory!

Gather spiritual qi!

Fight and slay enemies!

Even escape! Like teleportation arrays and concealment arrays!

In short, arrays were immensely useful to Qi Ping, directly boosting his sense of security to the maximum!

For someone focused on farming, is there a more fitting path than arrays? No!

Once mastering the path of arrays, Qi Ping could confidently seek a secluded place to build his spirit field territory.

Then, whether cultivating spiritual medicine or nurturing animal companions inside, Qi Ping wouldn't need to be as cautious and fearful as he was now.

Besides, the path of array cultivation was also the most suitable for Druids.

Because the essence of array cultivation is to harness the power of heaven and earth.

And Druids naturally follow the path of nature affinity, which gives them a considerable advantage in learning the path of arrays.

Added to the Heaven and Earth Blessing Talent Qi Ping gained after slaying the Demon Insect King

[Heaven and Earth Blessing: Due to preserving the balance of a region's heaven and earth and eliminating aberrant objects, you receive a blessing from heaven and earth, increasing your epiphany chances, and enhancing your affinity with heaven and earth daoist techniques...]

Under such circumstances, choosing the path of array cultivation is not only the most practical choice but also the area where Qi Ping has the most talent.

Moreover, setting up arrays demands a high level of the power of the divine soul, exhausting a considerable volume of it, perfectly aligning with Qi Ping's current Divine Soul Talent[Enchantment God Seal].

Thus, with all these factors, the path of array cultivation is Qi Ping's optimal choice, even a mandatory one!

...

On the 29th peak of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

A black crow was basking in the sun atop an ancient fir tree, with the resplendence of the great day surrounding it.

Below the ancient fir tree, a serene and suave young man held a sleeping little white fox in his arms.

In his hands, he clutched a book resembling parchment, fully engrossed in his reading.

The front page of the book read: "Path of Array Cultivation"

[The path of array cultivation, harnessing the power of the heavens and the earth, sweeping across and manipulating the myriad things of the cosmos in one's palm....]

[By leveraging timely conditions and geographical advantages, mastering and chaotically wielding the power of the law...]

[The study of arrays is grounded in understanding the laws of heaven and earth, with the five elements and eight trigrams and the laws of heaven and earth all capable of forming arrays!]

[The setup of arrays requires activation using array bases; spiritual qi, spirit stones, magical artifacts, corpses... anything and everything in the world can serve as an array base... using the base to manipulate the laws of heaven and heaven energy....]

[In tactical terrains, the array cultivator is unrivaled amongst peers of the same realm!]

[The art of array requires a high level of the power of the divine soul, its setup consumes a large amount of it; those lacking divine soul or comprehension should not practice!]

....

"So this is the path of array cultivation..."

After several hours of study, Qi Ping slowly set down the book in his hands, still reminiscing on the secret manuals he had just read, but the light in his eyes was becoming increasingly brighter.

Arrays! Array cultivation!

So this is the path of array cultivation!

The more Qi Ping studied, the more joyful he felt inside.

Firstly, the more he understood the path of arrays, the more he liked it; besides innate talent, interest also plays a significant role in mastering a skill.

Because only by immersing oneself in the art can one truly grasp its essence and reach its pinnacle!

Secondly, he was awed by the formidable power of arrays.

Amidst tactical advantages and favorable conditions, array masters can be summed up in eight words: Unrivaled in the same realm!

As long as one comprehends arrays to their utmost within one's realm, it essentially ensures an invincible position among peers at the same level.

However, the general difficulty in array cultivation is also substantial, demanding high divine soul and comprehension; possessing such comprehension is generally considered to be indicative of a cultivation genius.

That makes truly powerful array masters much more rare than general cultivation prodigies.

"Moreover, the distinctions among array masters are exceptionally pronounced."

"The precondition for harnessing the power of heaven and earth is to have some insight into it, so aside from common arrays, array masters usually specialize in only a few types of arrays..."

"If that's the case, if I am to construct a secret territory of my own, then mastering arrays like illusion arrays and concealing breath arrays is necessary..."
