The old man was short and wore a long red robe. He did not have a dignified expression on his face, and instead had a wretched look. Ye Chen was almost certain that the books he had seen just now were all from the old man's collection.
"Kid, do you understand the contents of this book?" The old man not only had a wretched expression, but even his tone was sharp and ear-piercing. He was extremely wretched.
In short, this old man was a synonym for wretchedness.
"I only read a little, I understand a little."
Ye Chen actually completely understood the contents of this book, but he secretly felt that this matter might be related to totems, so he did not dare to tell the whole story.
"Then tell me, what does this book roughly introduce?" The old man seemed very excited.
Ye Chen nodded and continued to read the book.
An hour later.
Ye Chen lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "This book introduces the basic structure of yuan formations, but it is different from ordinary yuan formations. The formation patterns are obscure and complex, and the structure of the formation is separated and almost does not overlap, and is independent of each other. It is really strange."
Ye Chen was now certain.
The contents of this book were completely in line with the formation on totems.
Just by skimming through it, Ye Chen had gained a lot of benefits, and roughly had a thirty percent confidence in how to condense formation patterns.
"Is there more?"
The old man glared, and the shop assistant immediately closed the door.
"This book does not introduce much, and the contents are very basic. The last chapter seems to introduce a yuan formation, but there seems to be some missing, and it does not explain in detail."
Ye Chen said truthfully.
"Of course!
Because I have already torn the last few pages. "
The old man looked up to the sky and laughed, and there were tears in his eyes. He said in a clear voice, "Ten years, after ten whole years, I have finally found the fated person. The heavens have not forsaken me, the heavens have not forsaken me!"
"Congratulations Master, you have finally found the fated person!"
The shop assistant immediately knelt on the ground, and also looked up to the sky and laughed, with tears in his eyes.
"Kid!"
The old man suddenly turned his head, grabbed Ye Chen's hands, and said, "I can see that you have a natural affinity for yuan formations. You must be someone with outstanding talent. Take me as your master, I am Heaven Yuan."
Cough cough!
At this moment, the shop assistant coughed a few times and whispered into the old man's ear, "Master, don't forget the bet between you and the Sect Leader. You can't tell the Sect Leader, you can't reveal your identity, and you can't accept disciples from outside. Otherwise, you will be struck by lightning."
"Shut up, you're such a busybody!"
The old man scolded. His expression was a little serious. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Little kid, what's your name?"
"Ye Chen."
Ye Chen always felt that these two people were hiding something, so he didn't hide their names.
"Ah Fu." The old man turned his head.
"Yes!"
The shop assistant flipped his palm and a piece of paper appeared in his hand. He read aloud, "Ye Chen, 14 years old, inner disciple of the Ye Clan, early stage of the Sixth Firmament of the Martial Path. He has no parents, only a sister. He is friends with Liu Muyun and they call each other brother and sister."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's expression darkened.
Where did these two people come from? How did they know so much about him?
Could they be assassins again?
With this thought, Ye Chen took a few steps back. Yuan power began to surge on the surface of his body, ready to fight at any time.
"Little kid, you've misunderstood. I have no enmity towards you."
The old man chuckled and said, "My name is Wu Zhenzi. I come from a faraway place. The reason I came to Blackjade City is to find a fated person, a fated person who can solve the ancient Yuan Formation diagram."
Ancient Yuan Formation diagram!
Ye Chen was stunned. Could it be that the twelve totems came from ancient times?
Wu Zhenzi continued, "The book you just read is the basic introduction to the Ancient Yuan Formation Diagram. Anyone who can understand this book has a chance to decipher the Ancient Yuan Formation Diagram, and you are the only one in the past ten years."
Wu Zhenzi was a little excited at the end.
Ye Chen already believed Wu Zhenzi's words. In his heart, he also wanted to study the ancient Yuan Formation diagram further. From there, he would be able to solve the mystery of the totem formation.
But when he thought about the upcoming Gathering of Geniuses, he suppressed his curiosity and said, "Elder Wu Zhenzi, I have an urgent matter to attend to. If it's possible, I'll come back here in half a month to study the ancient Yuan Formation diagram with you."
"Half a month later?"
Wu Zhenzi was unhappy. He glanced at his assistant, Fu.
Fu extended his hand and another piece of paper appeared in his hand. He said, "Half a month later is the Gathering of Geniuses. Ye Chen and Ye Cangtian have a grudge against each other. They're going to fight it out at the Gathering."
"Ye Cangtian?
Who the hell is he? "Wu Zhenzi rubbed his ears, full of disdain.
"He's just a brat in the middle of the Seventh Sky of Martial Path. He cultivates an incomplete King Level martial art. He's arrogant and overbearing. I heard that he's jealous of Liu Muyun's friendship with Ye Chen, so he hates him." Fu said.
"Go directly to the Ye Clan and bring his head here."
When Wu Zhenzi said this, it was as if he was telling Ah Fu to squash an ant.
Fu nodded and immediately took out a steel sword from the counter. He carried it and was about to walk out the door.
"Wait!"
Ye Chen blocked Fu's path and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
What kind of people are these people!
They just want to kill him, as if Ye Cangtian isn't worth mentioning at all.
"Brother Ye Chen, do you think that killing Ye Cangtian isn't worth mentioning? How about this, I'll also kill the head of the Ye Clan. They're father and son, so they're definitely not good people." Fu patted Ye Chen's shoulder with a silly smile.
Even Ye Buqu is going to be killed?
Ye Chen grabbed Fu's arm and smiled, "Personal grudges should be solved by oneself. You don't have to worry about me. After the Gathering of Geniuses, I'll come back here. Goodbye."
The two of them were either lunatics or idiots!
Ye Chen just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible so that he wouldn't get involved with them.
"Open!"
At this moment, Wu Zhenzi shouted.
Boom boom!
The whole ground suddenly shook. Ye Chen focused his gaze and looked around. Everywhere he could see, lines of formation appeared. There were so many of them that it reached a shocking number of hundreds!
The hundreds of formation lines overlapped with each other. In an instant, they formed an incomparably huge formation. Countless golden lights flashed within the formation, emitting a powerful and sharp aura.
Geng Metal Ten Thousand Kill Formation!
Ye Chen felt a bitter taste in his throat. He recognized that this was an extremely powerful level three formation.
He suddenly felt that he had underestimated these two people in front of him.
Once a level three formation appeared, not to mention Ye Buqu, even a huge place like the City Lord's Mansion would be turned into ruins.
Who would have thought that a level three formation master would be hiding in a small attic!
"Little kid, I, Wu Zhenzi, am an honest person. I won't waste words. In short, if you can help me decipher the ancient formation diagram, I can help you break through to the seventh level of the martial path in ten days and easily defeat that Ye Cangtian."
If it was a few minutes ago, Ye Chen might have thought that Wu Zhenzi was crazy and full of nonsense.
But now.
Ye Chen started to believe it a little.
A level three formation master was not an ordinary person. His words were worth a thousand gold and couldn't be taken back.
He had no reason to lie to Ye Chen. After all, that would be smearing his own reputation.
"Okay, I promise you!" Ye Chen thought carefully and agreed for the time being.
Wu Zhenzi saw that Ye Chen was still hesitating and laughed, "Little kid, it's true that you're worried now. But soon, you'll feel extremely lucky because of today's decision."
"It seems that someone is looking for you. Ah Fu, see him out. Tonight, come here at midnight. I'll help you break through the bottleneck and eliminate your worries."
Wu Zhenzi's figure flashed and disappeared from sight.
After leaving the Elemental Array Pavilion, Ye Chen saw Ye Fei after taking a few steps.
"I've bought everything. Let's go back now." Ye Fei saw that Ye Chen was a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?
Did something happen? "
Ye Chen shook his head, "Nothing. It's just that the market is a little noisy. Let's go."
"Okay."
Ye Fei didn't care too much. The two of them walked quickly and soon returned to the Ye Family.
Night fell.
Everyone fell into a deep slumber.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed past, floating indeterminately like a ghost, and very quickly flashed out of the Ye Clan.
The figure was naturally Ye Chen. He was going to the Elemental Array Pavilion as promised.
"Brother Ye Chen!"
Not long after leaving the Ye Family, a voice sounded. Not far away, Ah Fu stood under a tree stump and waved at Ye Chen.
"Master hates to make him wait. I've come to give you a ride."
As he spoke, Ah Fu directly grabbed Ye Chen's wrist and a dark green elemental energy suddenly burst out.
Boom!
At that moment, Ye Chen felt that his internal organs were about to be pulled out.
After a few minutes, Ah Fu stopped.
Ye Chen raised his head and was surprised to find that he was already standing outside the Elemental Array Pavilion.
The Ye Family was five kilometers away from the Wan Clan Market.
In a few minutes, he had crossed five kilometers.
What cultivation level did Ah Fu have? His speed was actually so fast!
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and go in."
