Chapter 421: Spirit Gathering Array

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations  Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Yue didn’t notice these small things that Wu Lingyu was doing because she had remained in her house tidying up her own things the entire time since she returned.

She chose a few things from alchemy, weaponry and those that increased one’s mental energy, then called for Fatty Qu and the others, took a few books and handed it to Sima Tai.

When Sima Tai and the others saw what Sima You Yue had brought, they were extremely surprised. When she had mentioned it before, they totally never imagined that she would take out so many of them. They had even thought that it would be amazing if she could take out one or two books from each type.

What they didn’t know, was that Sima You Yue only chose those which were slightly lower in rank. She didn’t dare to take out those that were higher in rank. She was afraid that it would bring trouble for the clan.

After that, Sima You Yue returned to her own house. This time, she even called Sima You Lin over.

Wu Lingyu stood outside the door and watched the securely closed door and hated that he didn’t know how to deal with arrays because it gave this punk an opportunity.

After Sima You Yue called Sima You Lin into her house, she took out a blueprint of an array and gave it to him.

Sima You Lin took the blueprint and glanced at it. His eyes went huge as he turned back to face her and they were suffused with shock and curiosity.

“This is an array that Master happened to obtain. I researched for two days but I wasn’t able to get to the bottom of it. So I got you to come to look through it with me.” Sima You Yue said.

“I never thought that you would be able to obtain this kind of spirit gathering array that had been long lost. It really is too surprising!” Sima You Lin said animatedly, “If we are able to research this properly, we will be able to expand half the effort for better results!”

“I think the same way.” Sima You Yue said, “We are currently a little weaker than everyone else. If we are able to use this spirit gathering array to make the spirit energy denser, we’ll be able to catch up to them in no time.”

“However, even you couldn’t get to the bottom of it. Should I take it over to Grandfather and let him have a look?” Sima You Lin asked.

“I’ve pretty much figured it out. However, this spirit gathering array can’t be made using the average array stones. That’s why I got you to come help. It wouldn’t be too late for us to tell them after we’ve created it. Otherwise, if we fail, we’ll have got them happy over nothing.” Sima You Yue explained.

“That’s fine too.” Sima You Lin said, “Let us try it out first. How do you want me to help?”

“Didn’t you obtain a few spirit gathering stones at the little world? It will only work if we gather those into spirit beads.” Sima You Yue said.

“Then let’s find a place and try out.” Sima You Lin was eager to give it a try.

“It would be best if we could find a relatively secluded place.” Sima You Yue said.

“I know a place. Come, let’s go there and try.” Sima You Lin said.

“Okay.”

Sima You Yue opened the door and immediately saw Wu Lingyu standing outside.

“Where are you guys going?” Wu Lingyu pretended as if he didn’t care as he asked. However, his gaze remained on Sima You Lin the entire time.

“Going to set up an array.” Sima You Yue replied.

“I’m coming too.” Wu Lingyu waved his fan as he say, “In any case, I’ll be chilling no matter where I am.”

“Up to you.” Sima You Yue said as she walked outside. Wu Lingyu followed along very naturally. Sima You Lin noticed that Wu Lingyu’s gaze turned complex, and didn’t know what he was thinking.

When the three of them came to the back of the house, there was a hundred metre wide hall beside a pavillion where people gathered. Who knew what the Zhan clan used it for.

When they came in, there wasn’t a single person there. Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin set those spirit gathering stones according to the blueprint. They arranged them in columns and also conveniently began to fiddle with them.

Wu Lingyu watched as Sima You Yue busied about while lowered his head to do some calculations with Sima You Lin. He stood on the side quietly and didn’t disturb them by saying anything.

Sima You Yue and You Lin spent the entire day setting up the array stones, but it was completely useless. They had no choice but to dismantle the whole thing and start again.

On the second try, they spent one whole day again only to result in failure.

On the third try, they took close to two days and the array was half successful. The pattern on the array lit up halfway before disappearing. It was a mark of their failure.

On their fourth try, they took another two days worth of time before they succeeded. The pattern on the array lit up entirely, then the ray of light slowly flowed into the array lines. The surrounding spiritual qi also slowly began to gather.

“Success!” Sima You Yue closed her eyes and took it in before opening her eyes that were sparkling with joy.

“We actually managed to succeed!” Sima You Lin was extremely excited as well and he looked at Sima You Yue with beaming eyes.

Wu Lingyu could also feel the change in the surrounding spiritual qi. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn’t expect that they would really succeed!

After Sima You Yue was done being excited, she began to examine the array’s outcome more closely. She furrowed her eyebrows, saying, “Although the spiritual qi is flowing here, it’s too slow. It’s only managed to improve it a little bit. This isn’t enough for everyone to cultivate here at all.”

Sima You Lin had a flash of inspiration and took out the spirit gathering bead, saying, “What if we add this on to try?”

“This is that spirit gathering bead?” Sima You Yue asked when she saw that dark green bead.

“Yep.” Sima You Lin said with a nod, “Let’s see if there’s any change if we add this to the array.”

“Okay.”

As such, the two of them dismantled the completed array before deciding how to add those spirit gathering beads in.

Half a month later, Sima Tai along with a few other elders were invited to this place. They noticed that this place was different from outside immediately upon entering.

“Such dense spiritual qi!” Elder Huo cried out with surprise.

“It’s much denser than other areas.” Elder Sang added on.

Sima Tai looked at Sima You Yue, asking, “What did you all do here?”

“We set up a spirit gathering array. It can absorb the surrounding spiritual qi and increase the density here.” Sima You Yue explained, “This outcome is pretty okay. We calculated and it can barely support three people entering at once.”

“So powerful?” Elder Huo looked at Sima You Yue questioningly.

“Can’t you all feel it?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Not bad.” Sima Tai paid close attention as he sensed it, “What are your plans for this place?”

“I plan to make this the clan’s secret cultivation ground. It can be a prize for those who have contributed to our clan. We can also occasionally let the disciples of our clan come here to cultivate as well.” Sima You Yue said, “However, for it’s method of implementation, I leave it to the clan and the elders to discuss.”

“Clan Leader, this is rather serious. Before we come to a decision after discussing, we should not tell the clan yet.” Elder Sang said.

“Okay. We shall head back to discuss this first. You Yang, inform the other elders to gather in the hall immediately for a discussion.’ Sima Tai said. Then, he turned to Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin, saying, “I’m sure you won’t be going. You Lin, you come with us.”

“Yes, Clan Leader.” Sima You Lin left with Sima Tai and the others.

Only Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu remained in the house. The two of them slowly walked back to the house.

“Will there be a day where you will do this many things for me?” He asked rather emotionally.

“Eh?” Sima You Yue raised her head to look at Wu Lingyu, saying, “You’re my senior. If you want me to do something, I will do my best.”

Was it only… doing her best….?
