Chapter 56: Array Knowledge (8th Update)

  Unknown formation outside.

  Yi Chi watched Jian Nan walking back and forth with a bored expression, initially he wanted to find some clues from Jian Nan's movements, but later gave up. Honestly, that chaotic walk didn't leave any traces, and looking at Jian Nan's appearance, it seemed like he was also trying his luck. There were several times when Yi Chi saw him circling around in the same spot, which made Yi Chi feel annoyed.

  "Bad luck, you said you didn't know how to get out of the formation, what are you doing going in?! You've been turning for half an hour now and still haven't gotten out, aren't you tired of it?!" While complaining, he couldn't help but look at Jian Nan. What could be done about it? After all, he had already piqued Yi Chi's curiosity.

  "Yi Tang, when will he leave?" Yi Chi asked with a tone of helplessness, although he didn't expect Yi Tang to give him an answer. He just asked out of frustration, trying to vent his emotions.

  "It's almost time, I think it's almost time." After responding with a sentence that didn't make sense, Yi Tang stopped talking, leaving Yi Chi tangled in thought.

  Xian Nan in the array was frowning as he looked at the scene before him.

  "Damn it, I clearly remember walking this way! Why can't I get out now?" While complaining, he was actually thinking if he had taken a wrong turn.

  Suddenly, Jian Nan had an epiphany and slapped his thigh.

  "Right, I forgot to take a step back, oh dear, what a waste of so much time."

  After he finished speaking, he started walking again with the same disorderly pace, without any discernible rhythm. However, until he took a step back towards his rear, Xiang Nan's figure disappeared from Yi Chi's line of sight.

  After discovering that Jian Nan had suddenly disappeared, Yi Chi waited for a while before walking out of his hiding place.

  Carefully examining the empty land, Yi Chi couldn't see any traces of an array.

  "Alas, must we force it?" Yi Chi said helplessly.

  After some thought, Yi Chi still decided to start something new. Of course, he had to make some preparations first, such as exchanging some professional knowledge and so on.

  ......

  "Is it expensive or not to exchange for knowledge of formation?" After thinking about it, Yi Chi asked Yi Tang.

  "It's okay, the formation knowledge is graded, and the lower-level ones are relatively cheaper." Yi Tang's answer made Yi Chi breathe a sigh of relief. He was worried that the formation knowledge would be too expensive, if it were too expensive to exchange for, then he wouldn't foolishly try to forcibly create the formation in front of him, that wouldn't be bravery, that would be stupidity.

  "List them out, from the lowest level." Yi Chi said with a hint of excitement, and of course, he didn't forget to add, or else, at first glance, he would see that pile of zeros, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take it.

  "Alright, here it is." As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Tang waved his hand casually, and a flash of electricity appeared in the transparent eyeball. Rows of information then appeared in Yi Chi's mind.

  Low-Level Array Method (Volume 1): Describes the general knowledge of low-level array methods, which is the foundation of foundations. Without understanding it, you will not be able to learn array methods. Exchange requires energy points: 10,000 points.

  Low-level Array Techniques (Middle Volume): Describes some low-level array techniques, the foundation of array dao, cannot be lacking. If you don't learn it, you won't be able to use arrays correctly, and when the time comes, you'll only be talking on paper. Exchange requires energy points: 50,000 points.

  Low-level Array Technique (Volume 2): Describes all the basics of low-level array techniques, including knowledge and procedures. It is the foundation for learning intermediate array techniques. Without it, you will not be able to learn intermediate array techniques. Exchange requires energy points: 500,000 points.

  Intermediate Array Technique (Volume 1): Describes the evolution of intermediate array techniques from low-level array techniques and some basic knowledge, which is the enlightenment volume of intermediate array techniques. Exchange requires energy points: 5 million points, one piece of first-grade energy gemstone fragment.

  Intermediate Array Formula (Middle Volume): ......

  ......

  Yi Chi didn't even finish reading it, after all, by the time he reached the intermediate array method, he already needed energy crystals, although they were just fragments, but that was not something Yi Chi could get his hands on, those were divine shard fragments! You think it's a big deal?!

  "It's already 10,000 points from the start! It's really expensive!" Yi Chi complained with great dismay.

  Of course, if his energy points were full enough, he wouldn't mind these few energy points. Unfortunately, he is now extremely short of energy points, and even 10,000 points seem like a huge number to Yi Chi at the moment, so he can't be too careful!

  "Yi Tang, you said if I only exchange for the low-level formation technique first volume, can I break this formation?" Yi Chi asked uncertainly.

  It was mentioned earlier that Yi Chi is a clever person who doesn't understand the formation method at all. He can't even figure out what level of formation this is in front of him, or how much knowledge of formations it would take to break through. So, he had no choice but to ask for guidance from Yi Tang.

  "Well...no." Yitang said straightforwardly after a brief moment of thought.

  "Ugh, to what extent do I need to exchange it?" Yi Chi said with a great deal of pain. Yi Tang's one sentence also meant that he had to spend more energy points, which made him complain about the person who set up the formation.

  What's wrong with you, setting up such a high-level formation for no reason? Are you bored after eating your fill? Why don't you go help some underprivileged kids or something instead of running to this remote place to set up a formation? You're simply out of your mind!

  Although he was constantly complaining in his heart, Yi Chi still waited attentively for Yi Tang's answer.

  "You can't even exchange for it, thinking of breaking this formation, you at least need to exchange for the intermediate formation technique volume 2, and that's assuming you have a lot of experience, otherwise, you won't be able to break it either." Yi Tang said with a very dismissive tone.

  After hearing that the middle character started exchanging arrays, Yi Chi didn't have any mood to listen to which volume it was anymore. Anyway, he couldn't even exchange for the cheapest one, so he wasn't interested in listening to the specific situation. Well, it's considered a waste of effort following him.

  Yi Chi's face fell as he prepared to turn around and go home to sleep, exchanging his originally good mood for one that couldn't satisfy his curiosity, which was a major disappointment for the day, casting a shadow over his emotions.

  "Hey, don't go yet! I didn't say you had no hope." Yitang hurriedly spoke out when he saw Yichi wanting to leave.

  After a pause, Yi Chi's face immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, of course, his eyes still showed that he had some doubts, after all, what was said earlier was very clear, and it was necessary to have intermediate-level Downfall Array knowledge to break the array.

  However, Yi Chi stopped in his tracks, trusting Yi Tang and wanting to hear what he had to say.

  "After a pause, Yi Tang spoke up: 'Actually, it's just that you're thinking about it the wrong way. Breaking the array and getting out of it are two different things. Don't look at how high-level knowledge is required to break this array, but if you really just want to get out, it's not that difficult. First, I need to make it clear to you that this is an illusion array, which I think you've probably already guessed. At the same time, it's also a dead array, meaning an array that has been unused for years and its foundation has become damaged. This type of array can only exert about one percent of its original power, but breaking it still requires professional knowledge corresponding to the original level of the array. So, breaking the array is difficult, but getting in and out of this array is not.'"

  After Yi Tang finished speaking, Yi Chi nodded in understanding, and it turned out that things were like this.

  "What degree of exchange do I need to be able to freely enter and exit this formation?" Yi Chi also didn't want to beat around the bush, so he directly said.

  "You need to know the knowledge of low-level array, you are completely exchanged, haha." Up to here, Yi Tang still couldn't help but laugh, it seems that he also knew Yi Chi's mood.

  This money is hard to earn but easy to spend!

  "What bad luck, I have to spend again. Well, the old one won't go away and the new one won't come if I don't exchange it. I'll just exchange it for a low-level array (middle volume)."

  Yi Chi thought about it for a moment and still felt that exchanging was necessary. Although this time 60,000 energy points would be gone again, he couldn't help but think that in the future, there might come a time when he needed to use an array, and if he didn't exchange now, it might be too late then. Anyway, exchanging early is always better than exchanging late.

  After figuring it out, Yi Chi didn't feel so depressed anymore, and his mood improved a lot. On the one hand, he could soon find out what was behind that formation method. On the other hand, it also reserved a layer of danger for the road ahead, and furthermore, it enriched his professional knowledge.

  "Redemption begins."

  Yi Chi only felt a dizziness after which a large amount of knowledge appeared in his mind, and moreover, he was familiar with and grasped it at an extremely fast speed.

  "Exchange successful, deducting energy points: 60,000 points. Remaining energy points: 171,000 points."
