Moreover, those True Spirit Golden Bamboo are not just one stalk but there are actually three!
The beautiful female cultivator’s breathing was somewhat heavy at this moment.
Apparently, she too had clearly seen the treasures and spiritual objects before her eyes.
Especially those three stalks of True Spirit Golden Bamboo.
These are spiritual objects that, once consumed, can increase the chance of Core Formation by half a percent.
Do not underestimate this seemingly low probability.
In the outside world, this is enough to trigger frantic competition among any cultivator who has completed Foundation Establishment.
However, the beautiful female cultivator ultimately did not lose her composure.
At this moment, she could not help but turn her gaze towards Ji Haoyuan.
"Fellow Daoist, according to our agreement, you can have the first pick of the treasures in this Water Mansion.
Which one among them do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan shook his head.
"There’s no rush, although this Water Mansion isn’t large, it’s worth exploring for a moment first.
After we’ve completely explored this place, I’ll make my choice. You don’t have any objections, do you?"
Originally, the beautiful female cultivator thought that upon seeing the True Spirit Golden Bamboo, Ji Haoyuan would definitely be eager to seize one of the stalks.
He could even shamelessly claim that all three stalks counted as one choice, and she would have no recourse.
Yet Ji Haoyuan could resist the temptation of the True Spirit Golden Bamboo, instead requesting to explore the Water Mansion first.
This slightly altered the impression the beautiful female cultivator had of Ji Haoyuan.
She nodded and said, "I have no objections, but I must remind you, fellow Daoist, that although this Water Mansion does not house demons or monsters, it does contain many natural killing arrays.
If we want to explore it completely, or even take those spiritual objects and treasures, we must pass the tests of those killing arrays.
Otherwise, if the tests fail, not only will you and I be unable to obtain those treasures, but we will also find it difficult to advance."
"Mmm, is this the main reason you agreed to this condition with me earlier?"
Ji Haoyuan isn’t stupid.
Upon hearing the beautiful female cultivator’s words, he immediately understood.
It turns out that the real danger here lies in the presence of the natural killing arrays.
If it were an ordinary cultivator entering, apart from clashing directly with the power of those killing arrays, there would really be no other good solutions.
But to Ji Haoyuan, the natural killing arrays serve perfectly as subjects for his contemplation.
"Let me see, what exactly is this so-called natural killing array, and what are its powers." Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
With these words, Ji Haoyuan began to forge ahead.
Just as he walked ten or so steps forward, suddenly, strange runes appeared in the void.
The runes swiftly combined and arranged in the air, transforming into extremely sharp sword lights aimed at Ji Haoyuan.
Upon seeing the runes that had just appeared in the void, Ji Haoyuan instantly understood in his heart.
Despite the fleeting appearance of those runes, Ji Haoyuan had already imprinted them into his mind.
He then began to learn the arrangement and combination of those runes, conducting deductions.
In an unconscious gesture, he had already summoned his Defensive Spiritual Artifact, the Kunluo Spirit Umbrella.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The sword lights fell upon the yellow light screen transformed by the Kunluo Spirit Umbrella, causing the screen to tremble.
Yet they couldn’t breach that yellow light screen’s defense.
Ji Haoyuan disregarded the attacks of those sword lights, but devoted most of his heart and mind to deducing that natural killing array.
With this opportunity, his expertise in array formation might reach new heights.
[You gain great insight into the natural killing array!]
[You gain great insight into the natural killing array!]
[Congratulations, you’ve deciphered the operational principles of the current natural killing array. Your expertise in array formation has improved!]
At this point, several Array Flags suddenly swept out from Ji Haoyuan’s hand.
Each flag landed precisely in a specific location.
At once, the natural killing array, which had been continuously gathering sword lights and launching attacks at Ji Haoyuan, gradually came to a standstill.
Lastly, they all reverted to their most basic rune state before slowly fading away in the void.
The beautiful female cultivator, having personally witnessed the entire process, couldn’t help but reveal a trace of shock in her expression.
He had cracked the natural killing array using the Array Dao!
Although she was not particularly proficient in array formations, she knew a little about natural killing arrays.
She knew these formations were completely formed naturally by heaven and earth.
Many of the principles of the Array Dao within them were fundamentally different from those they normally understood.
Most importantly, each natural formation possesses unique array texts.
To decipher them requires temporary study and mastery of their operational principles.
How long did Ji Haoyuan study them just now?
The beautiful female cultivator did not get much time to be shocked and contemplate, as Ji Haoyuan moved forward after cracking the natural killing array, continuing onward.
The beautiful female cultivator snapped back to reality and hurriedly followed closely.
No matter how Ji Haoyuan cracked the natural killing array just now.
To her, the stronger the ability in this aspect, the better.
More array texts appeared before them.
This time, they arranged and combined into a new formation, ultimately turning into flames, engulfing Ji Haoyuan.
Ji Haoyuan didn’t continue to endure the attack of the natural killing array while contemplating this time; instead, he retreated to a safe distance, then resumed studying and deducing the mysteries of the formation.
The natural killing arrays in the Water Mansion were almost completely deciphered by Ji Haoyuan.
During this process, his understanding of the natural killing arrays deepened.
Consequently, his expertise in array formation quickly stepped into a new realm.
Namely, the so-called third level.
In this regard, alone, the journey to the Water Mansion was already worthwhile.
Ji Haoyuan and the beautiful female cultivator were already at the center of the Water Mansion.
Looking at the many spiritual objects and treasures around, Ji Haoyuan did not hesitate this time and pointed at a verdant green fruit growing on a tender green sprig, saying:
"I’ll take that Jade Fruit.
You don’t have any objections do you?"
The fruit Ji Haoyuan selected was the target of the task given by Master Binghuo when he set out.
Although he still does not know its effects, since it’s what Master Binghuo wants, now that he sees it, he naturally wants to take it.
However, upon hearing the item he chose this time, a hint of surprise appeared in the beautiful female cultivator’s eyes.
