The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 804 - 261: Fellow Daoists, Please!

He then took out some mid-grade Spirit Stones and put them in, allowing the Array to continuously improve and expand.

After another three days had passed, following countless infusions of Spiritual Power and fine-tuning of runes, with a faint humming sound, the once-illusory Array instantly solidified, radiating a dazzling light.

Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, more exhausted than surprised at the sight.

But it wasn't enough. For ease of use and portability, he took out blank flags and once again mobilized his Spiritual Power to compress and refine the power of the Array, infusing it into them.

"Three months' time, successfully crafting two One-Color Arrays from start to finish, should be enough. According to the Jade Scroll from Zhang Wanbao, these should at least exchange for some Spirit Stones."

Zhou Qing was filled with excitement.

After a short rest, he greeted his master and hurried out of the mountain gate.

Senior Brother Yan and Niu Guangmo have been busy making money over the past few years.

They've sold rare herbs collected from the mountains, as well as homemade low-grade Magical Treasures, and even hosted small cultivator gatherings, charging fees for venues and services.

Though they've gained some fame and a decent reputation, their trade circle was always limited to nearby regions, operating on a small scale and earning only modest profits.

For the huge number of top-grade Spirit Stones he was aiming to collect, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

The place Zhou Qing intended to go was Spirit Skull Mountain.

Though most people had already left, there were still some stubbornly waiting for the Secret Realm to open again.

These people hailed from the Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions, spanning vast regions with complex and diverse backgrounds.

Since they dared to linger in a foreign land for so long, they must carry substantial wealth and surely have the means to acquire his meticulously crafted One-Color Array.

...

When Zhou Qing arrived in the area again, he looked around to see that Spirit Skull Mountain, once bustling with crowds, now seemed particularly desolate.

Far fewer people remained than he'd imagined, with only a few scattered camps at the mountain's base and within the valleys.

Within a few more years, those persistent individuals would likely become completely discouraged and disperse.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath to calm his emotions, then pulled out an Array Flag, activated by channeling Spiritual Power.

In an instant, the runes on the flag flickered, emitting a strong and distinctive wave of Spiritual Power that pierced the sky like a beacon.

The green light from the Array caught the attention of many people immediately.

"It's a One-Color Array. That's a rare treasure indeed."

"Judging by this young man's demeanor, he seems to be looking to trade."

"I agree, or else who would so openly display their treasure like this."

...

Many began to discuss, as an accomplished Array is a rare and highly sought-after item for most cultivators.

Compared to ordinary Sound Insulation Restrictions, such an Array can not only defend and attack but also turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

A powerful Array can even become a decisive life-or-death factor.

However, some Late Stage or Great Perfection Divinity Transformation cultivators remained unimpressed.

A mere One-Color Array was not much in their eyes.

If it had been a Two-Color one, it would have been more valuable.

Soon, nearby cultivators started to gather around Zhou Qing, eyes filled with curiosity and greed.

Zhou Qing remained calm, and as the crowd assembled, he cupped his hands and loudly announced, "Fellow cultivators, greetings. In my possession is a One-Color Array, the 'Feng Lei Volcano Array,' notable for its powerful offensive and defensive capabilities."

"Of course, there's no need for me to elaborate; your discerning eyes can surely sense it."

With that, Zhou Qing performed a Sealing gesture with his hands, channeling a wisp of Spiritual Power into it, causing the sky to change color.

Inside the Array, thunder roared, and sand and stone flew, with molten lava spewing from the ground.

Even those standing outside felt their skin sizzle, almost as if it were about to ignite.

They had to step back repeatedly, faces showing shock and awe.

"This... the power of this Array is terrifying!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Others began whispering and discussing even more intensely.

Seeing the timing was right, Zhou Qing cleared his throat and loudly declared, "I am currently in urgent need of Spirit Stones, so I plan to sell this carefully refined 'Feng Lei Volcano Array.'"

"Fellow cultivators, if interested, feel free to make an offer."
