The crowd stood up and expressed their thanks.
Wan Changqing laughed heartily, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have some urgent matters to attend to and must step out for a moment. Please continue your conversations, and should there be any lack in hospitality, I ask for your understanding.”
“No need for such formalities, Boss Wan.”
The crowd stood up again, this time to see him off.
Everyone then took their seats again.
Pei Jinye fiddled with the wine cup in his hand, lost in thought.
[It seems that after Xing Tian disappeared, my plantations have been discovered by the outside world… Yet, it’s only the Second Generation Spirit Liquor…]
[Perhaps the Third Generation Spiritual Objects were disposed of by Xing Tian in haste before his abrupt departure.]
Before long, Pei Jinye’s attention was caught by a conversation nearby.
“Recently, a Beast King appeared at Snow Dragon Mountain, and its strength seems to be close to the Heavenly level…”
“My friend, your news is outdated. The Federation sent a Heavenly level warrior just yesterday, but unfortunately, the encirclement and suppression ended in failure, and he was gravely injured. From the looks of it, there seems to be no hope.”
“What? Even a Heavenly level warrior is no match? Doesn’t that mean that beast might be at the Star Space level?”
“Possibly…”
Someone else joined in the conversation.
“What kind of fierce beast is it that it’s so terrifying?”
“The Gold Devour Beast… resembling a Pangolin but with the size of a cow, this creature sustains itself by devouring mineral veins.”
“So Snow Dragon Mountain was hiding such a terrifying creature…”
“However, does this mean that there are substantial mineral veins beneath Snow Dragon Mountain? Otherwise, how could that creature grow so fast…”
“It’s a shame. Now, the entire Snow Dragon Mountain is under the control of that Gold Devour Beast. We human warriors simply have no way to enter and investigate.”
Speaking of mineral veins,
the topic was somehow shifted by someone to the field of Artifact Refining.
“I have a Philosopher’s Stone. I wonder if any of you are interested. I only accept exchanges for items, preferably Array based techniques.”
“Array? I didn’t expect you to be a Matrix Controller!”
Upon hearing that the middle-aged man in Tang suit was an Array Master, the crowd’s demeanor turned solemn.
Lower-ranked Matrix Controllers were one thing, but a Ninth Rank… especially a Star Space Level Matrix Controller was quite terrifying.
You might not even know what technique they’ve used, and you’ve already been trapped within the Formation they laid out, eliminating you without even needing to expend any stamina.
“It’s an honor.” The Tang-suited Matrix Controller showed a modest expression, took out a fist-sized Philosopher’s Stone, and inquired towards the crowd.
The blue-clad elder closest to him shook his head slightly, “Unfortunately, my practice is focused on Martial Arts, I do not possess much knowledge about Artifact Refining or Matrix control; I am sorry that I cannot help you.”
“No worries.” The Tang-suited Matrix Controller looked to the next person, who also shook their head.
Seeing several people shaking their heads one after the other, he began to feel disappointed.
He had specifically come from the Southern Continent, thinking he could exchange for the Array techniques he needed here.
However, the situation had greatly let him down.
Just as he was about to put away the Philosopher’s Stone, a voice came from the side: “May I take a look at that Philosopher’s Stone?”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over.
The speaker was dressed in a black trench coat and appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old… but naturally, no one in the crowd truly believed him to be that age.
At their level, one would appear young at their peak, and only when they begin to decline from their peak would they gradually show their age.
The Tang-suited Matrix Controller was delighted to hear this, “Not at all, please have a look.”
Pei Jinye took the Philosopher’s Stone, confirmed it was genuine and also part of his own materials collection, and thereby had a figure in mind.
Under the expectant gaze of the other party, he nodded slightly: “Indeed, I possess the technique of matrix control.”
Upon seeing this, the Tang-suited matrix controller stood up excitedly, unable to remain seated: “Fellow Daoist, shall we exchange?”
However, Pei Jinye returned the philosopher’s stone and shook his head: “But in my opinion, this philosopher’s stone is not sufficient to exchange for the technique I possess.”
“What?”
The Tang-suited matrix controller instantly froze, somewhat taken aback.
“This philosopher’s stone is definitely not an ordinary item. It is very large and extremely hard. With its size, even if it were used to forge three peerless swords, it would be ample. I’m curious as to how powerful the technique you spoke of is, to warrant such indifference to this philosopher’s stone.”
Just then, someone suddenly spoke out indifferently.
Pei Jinye was not angered but simply looked at the Tang-suited matrix controller: “If you wish to trade, you’ll need to add something more. Of course, the decision is yours.”
“This…” The Tang-suited matrix controller hesitated.
As others had mentioned, his philosopher’s stone was already a peerless treasure. Taking it out for exchange alone would definitely cause artifact refiners to go into hysterics.
Yet the person before him merely regarded it with “indifference.”
“Then produce the technique for everyone to judge,” the previous inquirer said irritably.
All the people present were influential figures.
He really couldn’t stand Pei Jinye’s overly presumptuous remarks.
Some others began to echo the sentiment.
Even the Tang-suited matrix controller inquired with a questioning look at Pei Jinye: “No offense, fellow Daoist, but my curiosity is truly piqued.”
Pei Jinye still maintained an unruffled demeanor, ignoring the others and looking at him: “Since you’re curious, I’ll satisfy you.”
“Arise.”
A halo sprang up under Pei Jinye’s feet, enveloping the Tang-suited matrix controller, and in an instant, both of their figures disappeared.
This scene caused all the star space level strongmen present to stand up in shock.
“He’s also a matrix controller!!!”
“To be able to vanish without a trace, ignoring the domain of the sealing objects… Indeed, the technique is formidable!”
Even the person who had spoken out earlier was left dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he felt a knot in his heart and began to reflect on whether his remarks had been somewhat excessive.
…
Back in the day at Misty Sect, Pei Jinye talked a lot with the old master, and together they created many astonishing works, including formations.
With technique leading the formation, this was definitely a powerful array that the Awakeners of the Federation had not seen before.
As expected.
When the Tang-suited matrix controller was instantaneously transported away from the spot by Pei Jinye’s formation, he was full of shock, looking around.
To his astonishment, he found that Pei Jinye had taken him to a plaza a hundred meters away.
At this moment, under the afterglow of the sunset, people were coming and going.
The Tang-suited matrix controller’s mouth was agape, unable to close it, as he could not believe this kind of method.
At that moment, he even felt that he was not a ninth-rank matrix controller at all.
Otherwise, how could he have failed to see even a hint of the operation of the formation?
This was illogical!

“How about it?” Pei Jinye’s voice came through.
“Powerful! Extremely powerful! Please tell me, senior, what exactly I must do to exchange for the divine art you hold in your hand!”
The Tang-suited matrix controller immediately changed his demeanor, asking Pei Jinye with utmost seriousness and bowing deeply.
…
The afterglow fell behind Pei Jinye, now like divine light shining broadly, shining with boundless majesty in the eyes of this ninth-rank matrix controller.
