The discussion here attracted the attention of the other cultivators in the courtyard who were trying to decipher and translate the ancient text. His gaze fell on them.
Su Yang Rong was also in the courtyard. As a famous Treasure Appraiser and Ancient Text Grandmaster in Taihuang City, he had a deep understanding of Modern and Medieval Era relics and Ancient Text. The Wasteland Building had invited him over to help them solve some problems with Ancient Text.
"This Ye Xingchen is really arrogant." Su Yang Rong shook his head.
When he first met Ye Xingchen, he had a good impression of him. But the second time, his impression of him worsened.
In his mind, Ye Xingchen was an arrogant martial artist who only knew how to spout nonsense.
Beside Su Yang Rong stood a man in his fifties. He was slightly plump and had an amiable look on his face. However, those who knew him would not dare to underestimate him. He was the person in charge of the Wasteland Building, Shopkeeper Chen.
In Taihuang City, even the City Lord had to give him face when he saw him. He was one of the big shots in the city.
Manager Chen followed Su Yang Rong's gaze and asked, "Brother Su, why are you shaking your head?"
Su Yang Rong smiled and said, "I thought highly of that young man's talent in appraising. However, he is not a good person. What a pity."
"Haha, maybe he is not lucky." Manager Chen said.
Someone walked over and whispered something in his ear. Manager Chen smiled and said, "So this young man is having a literary battle with Qin Hong. Interesting. Let's go and take a look."
Su Yang Rong nodded. He was prepared to teach Ye Xingchen a lesson after he lost so that he would return to the right path of appraising.
Qin Hong had chosen this ancient text. He read it briefly and started to translate it on a piece of paper.
He had been to the Wasteland Building's backyard many times. He had seen all the ancient texts on the jade discs. This ancient text was the one that he had been searching for recently. He had already translated most of it.
Not long after, he wrote the correctly translated ancient text on the paper. After he finished writing, he glanced at it and said, "Brat, I've finished translating it. Do you want to give you a few days so that you can look through the information?"
"Young Master Qin Hong is indeed a disciple of the Qin Clan. You are well-read. You have translated it so quickly."
"That youngster is going to lose for sure."
"He's young and impetuous. It's good for him to receive such a blow so that he won't be so arrogant."
…
The onlookers whispered to each other. On the other side, the warriors who were translating were also surprised. However, when they saw that it was Qin Hong, they were relieved. The latter's attainment in ancient language was a little bit famous among the same generation in Tai Huang City. His cultivation was much higher than his.
"Haha, this Qin Hong is not bad," Su Yang Rong said.
His cultivation was profound and his eyes were sharp. He had already seen the content that Qin Hong had translated. Although it was not completely correct, it was quite good that he could translate it in such a short time.
His gaze shifted to Ye Xingchen, and when he saw that Ye Xingchen hadn't even started writing, he couldn't help but sigh. The contrast between people was simply too great.
Of course, he was talking about the knowledge of the ancient language. If it was a comparison of cultivation, it would be a different story.
"Let's begin!" Ye Xingchen walked to the jade wall and prepared to translate the content of the ancient text.
Qin Hong was surprised. He thought that Ye Xingchen was pretending to be calm.
"Let's see what you're going to do when they tell you that the translation is wrong." Qin Hong sneered.
Ye Xingchen and Qin Hong inputted the translated questions into the jade disc.
The jade wall flashed and the content was sent to the forces behind the Barren Building for evaluation.
The process was quick. In less than fifteen minutes, the results were sent back.
Everyone looked at the Jade Disc and was instantly stunned.
On the jade disc, the ancient text that Qin Hong had inputted was eighty percent correct.
The content that Ye Xingchen had typed was one hundred percent correct. There was even a comment at the end: Perfect Translation.
"How is that possible?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Su Yang Rong opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. Some of the warriors on the other side dropped their pens and papers on the ground.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the jade disc, and almost all of them were stunned.
After a while, someone said with difficulty, "This, this is … shocking."
"Is he an ancient language grandmaster?" someone murmured to himself while looking at the blue figure.
"I don't believe it. You cheated!" Qin Hong couldn't accept it and shouted.
"Haha, nephew Qin Hong, this is the Barren Building. There is no cheating here. Please don't talk nonsense," Manager Chen said.
He then looked at Ye Xingchen and said, "Young Master, the reward for translating the ancient text for the bounty is 10,000 virtual points."
Ye Xingchen received the ten thousand virtual points. When he was about to leave with the Heavenly Wood, he heard Manager Chen say with a smile, "I wonder if you're willing to join the Barren Building."
At the side, a group of people flashed a trace of envy.
"I'm sorry, I already have a sect." Ye Xingchen left the Barren Building.
He returned to the Wu house, locked himself in his room, and started to inscribe the Hundred Transformation Formation Spiritual Mark.
After several hours, he finally inscribed a part of the Hundred Transformation Spiritual Mark on the Quasi fifth-grade jade and spirit stone.
Next, he only needed to inscribe the rest of the Hundred Transformation Spiritual Mark on the Heavenly Wood and establish a connection with the jade plate. Then, the Hundred Transformation Formation would be complete.
The Heavenly Wood was about three feet long and glowed like a spirit stone. One could clearly see that the Heavenly Wood was overflowing with spiritual light and floating in the air.
Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground. After recovering his True Qi and Divine Sense, he started to inscribe the Hundred Transformation Spiritual Mark on the Heavenly Wood.
"Chi!"
Ye Xingchen held the white jade pen and started to inscribe the Hundred Transformation Spiritual Mark. As soon as he started, the fifth-grade spirit blood and the Heavenly Wood didn't merge, so his Divine Sense couldn't enter.
Ye Xingchen visualized the Perpetual World Tree and put himself in an ethereal state. Then, he picked up the white jade pen and started to inscribe the Spiritual Mark.
An hour later, the first Spiritual Mark was completed.
Two hours later, the second Spiritual Mark was completed.
Six hours later, the third Spiritual Mark was completed.
Three days later, Ye Xingchen finally finished inscribing all the Spiritual Marks.
Inside the room, he took out the array plate and infused True Qi into it, connecting all the Spiritual Marks with the array plate.
The array plate he had exchanged from the system was the key and core of the Hundred Transformation Formation. The Spiritual Marks he had drawn with the Spiritual Materials he had purchased were all auxiliary Spiritual Marks.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to set up a mid-grade fifth-grade Formation, which was equivalent to trapping the Blood Demon Tree.
"Buzz!"
A moment later, the array plate, jade, spirit stone, and Heavenly Wood floated in the air and formed a complicated pattern.
He had established a connection, and the Hundred Transformation Formation was truly completed.
"It's time to lure the snake out of its hole."
Ye Xingchen put the array plate and the Spiritual Materials into his Dimensional Bag, opened the door and walked out of the Taihuang City.
