"It happened that the headquarters urged this batch of goods urgently, which is why the temporary recruitment of array masters in Yaoguang Mansion."

"Mainly as a precaution, just in case something unexpected happens along the way. Of course, the remuneration will be paid on time, absolutely no delay."

He patted his chest to assure everyone.

Only then did everyone realize what the situation was.

Jin Mantang looked around and raised his voice: "We plan to recruit five array masters, as long as they know the ropes."

"Also, we need one second-level array master in charge. Is there anyone qualified here?"

Zhou Qing did not speak rashly, and simply watched the situation unfold.

The people in the hall looked at each other, but no one responded.

Zou Lun saw the situation and his lips involuntarily curled into a fleeting wry smile.

Jin Mantang sighed in disappointment: "If there isn't a second-level array master, I'm afraid…"

At this moment, Luo Lingling lightly touched Zhou Qing's arm.

Zhou Qing understood and slowly stepped out from the crowd.

Zou Lun narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous gleam flashing in them.

Jin Mantang stepped forward excitedly: "May I ask your name?"

"Mr. Ji," Zhou Qing purposefully lowered his voice.

Jin Mantang looked confused, his gaze lingered momentarily on the mask and the old hen on the shoulder.

At present, there seemed to be no such individual among the nine second-level array masters in the Holy Martial Dynasty, presumably a hidden master.

He looked to Zou Lun for help.

Zou Lun stepped forward, whispering tentatively: "Mr... Ji, could you demonstrate your Spirit Seal?"

Zhou Qing nodded, his Heart and Spirit subtly activated.

In an instant, two hundred and three Spirit Seals floated around Zhou Qing, shimmering with a faint glow.

According to the array master level:

Level one array masters need to condense twenty different and complex Spirit Seals.

Based on that, level two array masters have to expand tenfold, reaching two hundred.

Zhou Qing barely meets the requirement.

Seeing the Spirit Seals suspended around Zhou Qing, the hall was filled with exclamations of surprise.

Zou Lun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Jin Mantang was excited, rubbing his hands.

"I'll just make a humble attempt too," said Zou Lun as he revealed one thousand eight hundred Spirit Seals around him.

The brilliant Spiritual Light illuminated the entire testing hall as if it were daytime.

This amount is more than nine times that of Zhou Qing's, causing everyone to marvel. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

He stared fervently at the flowing Spirit Seals, filled with self-satisfaction.

As long as he condenses another one thousand two hundred, he can reach the three thousand Spirit Seal threshold and become a level three array master alongside Lin Daochen.

It's said that Prince Xuanyuan Shuo obtained a relic of a level four array master from another Cultivation Country at the border.

In addition, there's a wealth of array insights and various notes.

Thinking about this made Zou Lun's breathing quicken.

Level four array master, that means in the least condensing ten thousand Spirit Seals and at most reaching forty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, a transcendent master!

Nowadays, the Array Hall set up by the Xuanyuan Family in the Imperial City is completely out of reach for outsiders.

"That person promised…" A fervent sparkle flashed across Zou Lun's eyes, "Once this task is complete, I'll receive those insights."

"By then, I will be the first to advance to level three array master after Wu Tiangang and Su Lishan fell!"

History only remembers the first.

He must seize this opportunity tightly.

Then he could skyrocket in value, reaping both fame and profit...

"Master Zou? Master Zou?" Jin Mantang's call brought him back to reality.

Zou Lun composed himself, pretended to sense with his own Spirit Seals, and nodded: "Indeed, a genuine second-level array master. Shopkeeper Jin, Mr. Ji is up to the task."

Zhou Qing spoke timely: "Shopkeeper Jin, the recruiting notice states that the remuneration for a second-level array master is to choose one Five Elements Spirit Stone?"

"Exactly!" Jin Mantang nodded repeatedly.

"I need the Wood Attribute Spirit Stone."

"No problem!" Jin Mantang promised, patting his chest, "Once the task is completed, it will be delivered immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing finally felt relieved.

"Mr. Ji, the Cloud Whale plans to set off the day after tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to escort you for some rest!" Jin Mantang seemed very happy.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly and pointed to Luo Lingling beside him: "This is my assistant."

"Understood!" Jin Mantang winked knowingly, "Of course, arrange together."

Soon, two maids in light cyan gauze dresses came elegantly, leading them through the corridor.

Passing by the backyard, a huge object suddenly caught their eye.

The Cloud Whale flying ship, like a small city, was docked at the dedicated platform, exuding a deep blue metallic luster throughout.

The surface of the flying ship was covered with complex protective barriers, yet one can still clearly see dozens of hideous claw marks.

The deepest one almost pierced through the entire side, obviously left by the attack of a group of blade-beaked eagles.

After entering the arranged room, Zhou Qing waved his hand to set up a Sound Insulation Barrier before asking.

"Senior sister, what do you think they are transporting? Why don't they use Storage Bags, wouldn't it be convenient?"

Luo Lingling took off the ox head mask and played with it casually: "Don't know, there are many things in this world that can't be packed in Storage Bags."

She counted on her fingers, "Like certain special forms of treasures, such as the core hub of a micro Cave Mansion, or some sealed earth vein."

"There are also some energy levels that are too high, forcing to store may cause the Magical Treasure to collapse."

Then, she pointed at the old hen: "Not to mention those living creatures with Spiritual nature, they instinctively resist entering the stagnant storage space."

Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully, this knowledge indeed was unknown to him, ultimately due to the lack of experience in outside training.
