Chapter 231: How about I exchange these?
When Chu Ling’er saw the array disk casually tossed by Li Xiaojun, she did not accept it. Instead, she sent it back with her divine sense.
“Senior, there’s no need for compensation; it’s just an array. I can have someone repair it.”
Facing a powerhouse who could match her great emperor-level father, Chu Ling’er certainly wouldn’t ask for compensation.
At this moment, Chu Ling’er no longer felt the anger she had before when her cave’s formation was destroyed. Having lived for thousands of years, she naturally knew how to act in her own best interest.
“Compensation is necessary; this isn’t an expensive gift. Just accept it.”
Li Xiaojun waved his hand, and the array disk flew toward Chu Ling’er again.
“Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer.” After Li Xiaojun finished speaking, he directly headed back to his cave.
“Senior, let me arrange a T-grade cave for you!” Chu Ling’er called out as she took the array disk.
“No need; I didn’t rent the cave to cultivate,” Li Xiaojun waved his hand to Chu Ling’er and quickly left.
After Li Xiaojun departed, Chu Ling’er paused for a moment before taking out a communication jade slip.
Soon, several cultivators flew over.
“Subordinates pay their respects to the young lady.” The group respectfully bowed to Chu Ling’er.
“Please repair the formation of my cave,” Chu Ling’er instructed them.
“Yes.”
After having the formation masters repair the formation, Chu Ling’er began to study the array disk that the senior had given her.
“Hmm? Immortal essence stones?”
Just as she started examining the array disk, Chu Ling’er discovered something incredible.
The array disk was actually powered by immortal essence stones.
While ordinary people might not know about immortal essence stones, as the daughter of a Tribulation stage great emperor, she certainly did.
She understood that immortal essence stones were hard currency in secret realms, greatly aiding one’s comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth during the Tribulation stage.
They were essential for cultivation after becoming an immortal, and even immortals valued such items greatly.
In secret realms, immortal essence stone veins were mostly controlled by beast tribe creatures, making it difficult for the Human Race to obtain them.
Chu Ling’er did not expect that the array disk Li Xiaojun gave her was running on immortal essence stones.
Furthermore, the number of immortal essence stones within the array disk was not small; there were well over a thousand stones.
“Could this be an immortal formation?” Chu Ling’er felt her breath quicken.
Chu Ling’er hurried to check the jade slips’ information on the array disk.
After reading the information, Chu Ling’er appeared utterly shocked.
Her guess was correct; this array disk was indeed an immortal formation.
It was known that the base formation set up by her father and her two uncle figures was an immortal formation.
To maintain this immortal formation, the three Tribulation stage great emperors, including her father, spent most of their time searching for immortal essence stones so that they could keep the immortal formation running long term, thus providing a protective place for the Human Race.
Now, a senior whom she had never met had casually given her an immortal formation; how could she not be astonished?
This is an immortal formation!
Her father and two uncles had spent a tremendous amount to acquire one.
Now, she actually had an immortal formation in her hands.
“No, I must tell Dad about this.”
Faced with such a situation, Chu Ling’er immediately thought of her father.
She couldn’t determine the pros and cons of this matter, but her father certainly could.
The next moment, Chu Ling’er took out a purple communication token.
After a moment, she quickly flew towards a cave not far away.
Before long, Chu Ling’er arrived at the entrance of the cave.
As she arrived, the cave’s formation opened a passage, and Chu Ling’er quickly walked inside.
“Dad.”
Chu Ling’er called out to a middle-aged man.
“Ling’er, what is it that you need?” The middle-aged man asked Chu Ling’er with a smile.
His gaze toward Chu Ling’er was filled with affection.
“Dad, it’s like this…”
Then, Chu Ling’er relayed what had just happened to her father.
“What? That person gave you an immortal formation?”
Upon hearing Chu Ling’er’s words, her father was greatly surprised.
“Let me see.” Chu Ling’er’s father reached out to her.
Chu Ling’er quickly handed the array disk to her father.
After receiving the array disk, Chu Ling’er’s father began to examine it urgently.
As he looked, his expression changed dramatically.
Surprise, astonishment, shock, confusion—various emotions surged within him.
He couldn’t believe it, because that person had broken his daughter’s cave’s formation and then compensated her with an immortal formation disk.
Although the coverage effect of the array disk couldn’t match that of a large formation, it was still an immortal formation. With this formation, they could establish a base for the Human Race, and then set up a teleportation array between the two formations. This way, the Human Race could greatly expand their exploration range in the secret realm.
“Ling’er, are you sure everything you just said is true?” Chu Ling’er’s father still found it hard to believe this fact.
An immortal formation—how could it be given away so easily?
The price they had paid to acquire an immortal formation back then was unimaginable.
They originally had eight Tribulation stage great emperors, but lost five in their attempt to seize an immortal formation.
It was only because of this immortal formation that they could build a massive base for the Human Race here.
“Could it be that the person who gave her daughter the array disk has feelings for her?”
Chu Ling’er’s father furrowed his brow, forced to consider this possibility.
This is like a situation where an ordinary person bumps into you and casually compensates you with a billion.
If you were to encounter such a situation, wouldn’t you suspect that the other party had some ulterior motives?
The first thought that came to Chu Ling’er’s father was that the person was targeting his daughter.
His daughter, Chu Ling’er, was exceptionally talented, with beauty and grace that were impeccable.
Moreover, she had such a great emperor-level father.
So, he had reason to suspect that the other party was after his daughter.
As for the claim that he had mistakenly entered the cave and accidentally damaged the cave’s formation, he did not believe it at all. He thought it was just an excuse to get close to his daughter.
“Dad, what should we do?” Chu Ling’er asked her father.
After hearing the question, Chu Ling’er’s father thought for a moment and said, “Ling’er, this array disk is too precious; we can’t keep it. We should return it to that person.”
“You said he rented Cave A3, right? Let’s go and return the array disk…”
While Chu Ling’er and her father were talking, on the other side, Li Xiaojun had already arrived at his Cave A3.
Upon entering the cave, Li Xiaojun immediately began to study the formations inside, especially the ones that could transform spiritual energy into ordinary spiritual energy.
However, as he delved deeper, he soon became bewildered.
He completely couldn’t understand this formation.
Although he had studied formation knowledge, his formation level was only at the level of a grade five or six formation master.
This set of formations that converted spiritual energy into ordinary spiritual energy was clearly far beyond his capability.
“It seems I need to find a way to obtain detailed information about the formation,” Li Xiaojun thought to himself.
But what Li Xiaojun didn’t notice was that while he was studying the formation, his actions were a bit rough.
At that moment, the formation shattered.
“Huh?” Li Xiaojun didn’t expect that while he was studying the formation, he would accidentally break it.
Just when Li Xiaojun ruined the formation, a man and a woman flew over from the sky.
These two were, of course, Chu Ling’er and her father.
When they arrived, Li Xiaojun also noticed the father and daughter.
“Senior.” When Chu Ling’er saw Li Xiaojun outside the cave, she immediately bowed respectfully.
On the other side, Chu Ling’er’s father released his divine sense and greeted Li Xiaojun, saying, “I wonder where this friend is from?”
Chu Ling’er’s father did this mainly to test Li Xiaojun’s strength.
In the cultivation world, unless one exposed their cultivation level or allowed someone to use divine sense to probe it, it was difficult to discern someone else’s level just by eye or divine sense scanning.
To know someone else’s cultivation level, the first would be if the person exposed their level, then if others used divine sense to probe, and lastly, one would release divine sense to communicate, allowing others to sense their strength through their divine sense.
Of course, if your strength was significantly higher, you could suppress your divine sense pressure so that others could not perceive it.
When Li Xiaojun saw that Chu Ling’er’s father used divine sense to communicate, he also released his own divine sense to respond.
He intentionally suppressed his cultivation level, allowing only the strength of his divine sense to show as Late Tribulation stage.
Upon sensing Li Xiaojun’s divine sense strength at the Late Tribulation stage, Chu Ling’er’s father instantly showed a look of surprise.
He didn’t expect that this person before him had a cultivation level that was even stronger than his.
“This friend, here is your array disk,” Chu Ling’er’s father said as he took out the array disk he had given to Chu Ling’er and offered it back to Li Xiaojun.
“What are you doing? I can’t take back something I’ve given away,” Li Xiaojun directly refused.
“This friend, this array disk is too precious. A cave’s formation simply cannot compare to this array disk, not even one ten-thousandth of it, so please take it back,” Chu Ling’er’s father insisted to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing this, Li Xiaojun felt speechless.
He hadn’t expected that by pretending to be a senior, he couldn’t even give away a single array disk.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaojun said to Chu Ling’er’s father, “How about this: I’ll trade you our array disk for your formation that can convert spiritual energy into ordinary spiritual energy. What do you think?”
“This…” Both Chu Ling’er and her father were taken aback by Li Xiaojun’s suggestion.
Seeing that Chu Ling’er’s father hesitated, Li Xiaojun wondered if his offer was too low.
That formation which could convert spiritual energy into ordinary spiritual energy must be very valuable.
So, Li Xiaojun quickly retrieved several sets of array disks from the system space.
“I know that this formation for transforming spiritual energy is very precious, so I can offer several array disks in exchange.”
Li Xiaojun pointed to a set of array disks and said, “This set is a grade two lower immortal formation array disk, which can withstand attacks from early Earth Immortal realm beings…”
“And these several sets are grade one mid-level and upper-level immortal formations, which can withstand attacks from mid and late human immortals…”
After introducing the formations, Li Xiaojun asked the father and daughter, “How about I trade these array disks for your formation that can transform energy?”
