"Brother Zhao is the one who saved my life, what's not to trust about him? Moreover, although we haven't interacted much, I can also see that Brother Zhao values his reputation and isn't a cruel or brutal person. Besides, there aren't any other precious items on me that would make Brother Zhao covetous! The things in the cave, except for the Qixin Dan, are all only suitable for female cultivators to use. This time, the cultivation method I want to entrust Brother Zhao to find is also a technique specifically for women, completely useless to him. I absolutely believe that Brother Zhao won't turn against me heartlessly because of this." The white-clothed young girl said with a smile in her eyes.

  "Of course, if we can't find Brother Zhao after a long time, Meng Li will have to look for other cultivators. But compared to others, Brother Zhao who came from the mainland all the way to Xingchen Sea is indeed the best candidate." The white-clothed girl said frankly.

  "Oh, I didn't expect that with your identity, Meng Li Xianzi would be so well-versed!" Zhao Di said with a hint of a smile.

  "Hehe, Brother Zhao, please don't be offended. Meng Li is now a startled bird, and this matter is also very important, so I briefly investigated your background. All I know is that you were transported from the mainland to Xingxing Island over 20 years ago, and have no connection with any forces in the Star Ocean. As for other information, Meng Li is not clear, nor will she ask further, as long as Brother Zhao is not an enemy of hers. For this, I apologize to Brother Zhao!" The white-clothed girl finished speaking and bowed to Zhao Di.

  Zhao waved his hand and said, "The Dream Lian fairy's actions are also normal, if it were someone else, they would do the same."

  "Thanks for your broad-mindedness, Brother Zhao." The white-clad girl said, changing the subject and starting a conversation with Zhao about their cultivation experiences.

  Zhao Di had always been cultivating alone, with few opportunities to interact with others. His counterpart was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and in this regard, he had many unique experiences and insights. Zhao Di was delighted by this as well.

  Although Zhao Di had practiced two kinds of foundation period gongfa, comparing them to each other also had some unique aspects, making the other party feel greatly rewarded.

  The two of them chatted happily along the way, and half a month later, the three of them arrived on a deserted island that was several hundred miles in size.

  Zhao Di looked around in confusion, with only a few short barren hills and scattered shrubs growing here and there. There was no spiritual energy to be detected on the island, a typical uninhabited desolate island without any spiritual veins. Such islands were everywhere in the Starry Sea, and it really couldn't be seen what was special about this place.

  "Is this really the location of the ancient cave mansion? I'm a bit nearsighted, but I don't see any flaws." Zhao asked in puzzlement.

  "This place is hidden by a cleverly designed array, which is indeed difficult to detect. Meng Li has been studying the way of arrays since childhood and cannot see the origin of this array. However, the array has lasted for too long and has weakened significantly over time. Every few years, there will be a period of relative weakness. At this time, Meng Li can use some means to find an entrance at the weak point of the array."

  After finishing, the white-clothed girl took out a palm-sized, exquisitely delicate white jade plate. She drew several talismans on it and said: "At this time, the Departure Array is at its weakest period, there are still a few days left. Why not let Meng Li set up an array, and let us three sit here quietly waiting?"

  "Thanks, Mengli Xianzi." Zhao nodded and said, then he walked alone to the foot of a mountain, sat down cross-legged.

  He flew all the way, consuming a lot of spiritual power. This place was also a place without spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy was very thin. He had to take out several pieces of mid-grade spirit stones and slowly replenish his spiritual power.

  According to Yun Mengli's meaning, he wants to enter the restricted area alone to retrieve the treasure, which may be very easy, but also may encounter unknown dangers. However, for the sake of the Qixin Dan, he decides it is necessary to take this risk.

  Not to mention that the Purifying Heart Pill had increased his chances of successfully forming a Congealing Dan, just its claimed effect of expelling heart demons was enough to make him very interested.

  The last time he was invaded by the heart demon, it left him fearful. The rumored impact of the Heart Demon when breaking through the Golden Elixir is dozens of times more severe than before, and it's not something that can be slightly resisted with a low-grade Buddhist artifact, let alone fooled into passing.

  Even if he didn't have the Heart Purification Pill, he would definitely think of other ways to get some means to deal with the heart demon, otherwise he absolutely wouldn't dare to recklessly charge at the formation of the elixir.

  The small tripod's upgraded elixir greatly aided in breaking through the bottleneck, so he believed that with the help of a large amount of high-quality Yuan Gathering Powder, he could definitely break through to the later stage of the Foundation Building. However, as for forming the Elixir Core, despite having many methods to assist him, he still didn't have enough confidence.

  In this case, the more means, the more chances of getting the Qidan, let alone the Xīn Dān, a famous and extraordinary spiritual medicine. It's worth taking some risks for this Dan.

  This is also the premise of his considerable self-confidence, so he dares to do so. If it were twenty years ago, this girl would have proposed such an invitation, and he would have directly refused without thinking.

  Not having enough strength, even if an opportunity appears in front of him, Zhao Di does not dare to take it on.

  At the time when Zhao Di was sitting on the ground, two girls also moved lightly and skillfully, setting up a two-layered hidden formation around the three people.

  After doing all this, the two girls also sat down one after another.

  The white-clothed girl would take out the white jade plate every few hours and examine it for a while.

  After several days, the white-clothed girl finally stood up and said with joy: "It's done! Brother Zhao, I still need to borrow your help for a while. This ancient array is exceptionally mysterious, Meng Li needs to use the array to break the array. Later, please hold these two array flags in your hand, Brother Zhao, when you hear Meng Li's instructions, activate the corresponding array flag."

  Zhao Di took over the two triangular array flags of about ten inches in size thrown by the white-clothed girl and nodded in agreement.

  The white-clothed girl also handed over several pieces of cloth array equipment to the green-skirted girl Xiao Ying, and whispered a few words. The green-skirted girl responded, turned around, and went to a desolate mountain foot not far away, starting to lay out the array flags and spell beads one by one.

  The white-clothed girl herself also set up a spell formation with a serious expression.

  "Breaking an array with another array! And it's still the mysterious and unknown array method from ancient times. How can this girl's attainments in array methods be so high?" Zhao thought to himself. He knew very little about array methods, but he also knew that only master-level array masters could possibly understand a thing or two about these ancient grand arrays. But if it came to breaking the ancient grand array, even the legendary array masters couldn't do it. Not to mention array masters, even master-level ones would need to spend decades of hard work and research to achieve this. This girl is so young, probably even younger than himself, yet she's already reached the realm of an array master?

  If it were someone else, Zhao would never have thought this way. But this woman just so happened to be the only descendant of a world-renowned Array Master, and with such heaven-defying array talent, it wasn't impossible!

  Zhao Di silently watched the white-clothed girl set up her formation, her methods meticulous. The numerous flags, beads, and disks seemed to be placed randomly, yet were precisely arranged without any deviation. The order in which she set them up was also carefully considered, with each type of attribute array device placed in a specific sequence. Her movements were swift and accurate, each step perfect, never requiring adjustment. Zhao Di couldn't help but feel admiration and shame! Even if he were to set up his most familiar small-scale formation, it would be difficult for him to achieve such ease and elegance. The girl's movements as she set up her formation even gave him a strong sense of beauty.

  Under Zhao Di's admiring gaze, in just a short half-hour, the girl had already set up a large-scale magic array consisting of over 300 pieces of cloth and equipment. It left Zhao Di breathless, revealing an expression of surprise and admiration.

  "Mengli Xianzi is indeed worthy of being the successor of the Array Sect Master. I'm afraid it won't be long before she becomes another Array Sect Master in the Starry Sea!" Zhao exclaimed sincerely.

  It was as if these words had struck a secret corner of the girl's heart, and she trembled slightly at the sound. After a moment, she let out a long sigh and said in a low, drawn-out voice: "I have loved array techniques since I was young, and often asked my father to teach me. But my father told me to focus on cultivating my immortal powers, and not spend too much time on array techniques. Only now do I understand my father's good intentions. What's the point of becoming an array master if one's cultivation is insufficient? One will still be bullied by others! My father spent a lot of time studying array techniques in order to become an array master, which delayed his own cultivation and left him stuck at the initial stage of forming his elixir for a long time. If it weren't for this, perhaps our Cloud family wouldn't have suffered such a great change!"
