378: Chapter 379 Rebuilding the Great Array!

"Coming so quickly?"

Ye Changge nodded upon hearing this and said to her, "Caiyue, I will leave the matters regarding the Grand Array to you from now on."

Xiao Caiyue nodded and asked him, "Husband, do you have any other requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Changge immediately took out a translucent water-blue pearl from his Storage Pouch. This was the azure pearl he had just drawn from the System.

Ye Changge then explained to her, "Besides what I told you before, I also want to set up a Grand Array in our Family's lake and place this item inside."

Then, Ye Changge explained to her what this item was.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Caiyue's originally gentle expression froze instantly.

Her beautiful eyes widened abruptly, and she looked at the pearl in Ye Changge's hand, which was emitting a hazy water-blue halo, in disbelief.

The pearl was only the size of a fist, perfectly round and flawless, with Spiritual Qi flowing across its surface like running water, and a low sound resembling a Dragon's roar faintly emanated from within.

"What? Each one is equivalent to a quasi Magic Treasure, and there are twelve in total, which can form a High Grade Magic Treasure level Grand Array?!"

Xiao Caiyue's voice trembled slightly. She took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the azure pearl, but retracted her hand just before making contact, as if fearing that her own aura might defile such a supreme treasure.

She took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at Ye Changge, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and suspicion: "Husband... tell me honestly, did you obtain the complete Legacy of some Nascent Soul True Lord? Even a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Core Formation might not possess a High Grade Magic Treasure, let alone such a treasure!!"

Ye Changge couldn't help but find her shocked expression amusing. He raised his hand to pat her shoulder gently, his tone casual: "It was just by chance. Caiyue, don't rush to ask about its origin; just see if this item is usable."

Xiao Caiyue steadied herself. After all, she was a Formation Master by training, and her sensitivity to Magic Treasures far exceeded that of ordinary people. She suppressed the shock in her heart and carefully examined the azure pearl. A moment later, a flash of brilliance appeared in her eyes, and her voice carried a hint of certainty:

"This pearl contains extremely pure Spiritual Vein power of water. If placed in the lake, it will not only nourish the Spiritual Vein but also purify the water quality and increase the concentration of Spiritual Qi."

She looked up at Ye Changge, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "I remember you raise Green Wave Flood Dragon Fish in that lake, right? If this Magic Treasure is placed inside, I fear that in a few years, the Spiritual Vein beneath the lake will have the potential to advance from the First Order to the Second Order! By then, the growth rate of those Flood Dragon Fish will also greatly increase, and this industrial chain will be enough to provide the Ye Family with another stable source of income!"

Ye Changge nodded, a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "That is exactly my intention. Although the water Spiritual Vein in our lake is not bad, it cannot be considered very good. If the Spiritual Vein can be upgraded to the Second Order, it will benefit the Spiritual Qi concentration of the entire Longmai Mountain."

Xiao Caiyue pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then said solemnly: "Husband, this treasure is of great significance. Even that Master Lin cannot be fully trusted. After all, one cannot see into another's heart. Once news of such a High Grade Magic Treasure level Formation treasure leaks, it will likely invite significant trouble."

Ye Changge nodded slightly: "Caiyue's words are very true. In your opinion, how should we handle this?"

Xiao Caiyue thought for a moment and said: "I suggest we first embed one azure pearl into the bottom of the lake as the core of the Grand Array, and use it to modify the existing Azure Water Blue Sky Formation. For the remaining eleven, do not take them out for now to avoid attracting attention. Once I have gradually perfected the structure of the Formation, I will embed them one by one, layering them so that the power of this Grand Array increases imperceptibly. In this way, outsiders will only think that the Formation has been properly adjusted and will not suspect the contribution of a Magic Treasure."

Ye Changge looked satisfied upon hearing this: "Good, let it be as you say. I am at ease when Caiyue handles things."

He then took out the remaining eleven azure pearls from the Storage Pouch one by one. As each pearl fell into his palm, it made his hand sink slightly—although this item was only the size of a fist, it weighed over a thousand jin, clearly made of extraordinary material.

Ye Changge carefully placed them into an empty Storage Pouch and handed it to Xiao Caiyue: "Caiyue, I will entrust this matter entirely to you. The design, layout, and adjustments of the Formation will all be up to you."

Xiao Caiyue took the Storage Pouch, feeling the heavy weight coming from within, and a sudden, indescribable warmth welled up in her heart. She looked up at Ye Changge, her beautiful eyes shimmering, and her voice became unconsciously softer: "Husband... you are entrusting such an important treasure to me so trustingly?"

Ye Changge looked at her and smiled: "You and I are already Dao Companions; your affairs are my affairs. This Ye Family will have a share for you in the future. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

Xiao Caiyue's eyes grew slightly warm upon hearing this. She lowered her head, gently bit her lip, and after a moment, she raised her eyes, her voice gentle and soft: "Mm... I will certainly not let you down, Husband."

She carefully tied the Storage Pouch to her waist, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and regained her gentle and dignified appearance: "Then please lead the way, Husband, let us not keep Master Lin waiting for too long."

Ye Changge nodded, reached out to take her hand, and the two walked side by side along the corridor toward the front hall.

Before long, the two returned to the front hall. Ye Changge pushed the door open, stepped aside to reveal Xiao Caiyue behind him, and cupped his hands toward the two people seated: "Master Lin, Fellow Daoist Xu, sorry to keep you waiting. This is my Dao Companion, Xiao Caiyue, a Second-Order Array Master who has deep insights into the way of Formations."

Xiao Caiyue stepped forward, performed a graceful curtsy, and spoke in a gentle and appropriate tone: "I am Xiao Caiyue, greetings, Master Lin, greetings, Fellow Daoist Xu. You have traveled from afar, and I apologize for failing to welcome you properly; I hope you will forgive me."

Today, she was wearing a casual water-blue dress, her long hair tied loosely behind her head, with a few strands of dark hair falling beside her cheeks. Although she had not dressed up intentionally, she possessed an innate quiet and dignified temperament. While speaking, she was neither humble nor pushy, neither lacking in etiquette nor failing to display the calm confidence unique to a Formation Master.

Master Lin had originally been holding a teacup, sipping tea; upon hearing this, he set down the teacup and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Caiyue. His gaze swept over her slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed deep in his eyes—this Fellow Daoist Xiao's aura seemed somewhat unstable, bearing signs of obvious weakness. However, he only felt a slight stir in his heart and did not reveal anything on his face.

He stood up and returned the salute, his voice resonant: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is too polite. This old man is Lin Boyuan, holding a nominal position in the Lingxiao Sect's Formation Hall. My cultivation is only at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage; I cannot compare to you, who have entered the realm of a Second-Order Array Master at such a young age. Your future is limitless."

After some polite pleasantries, everyone sat down again. Master Lin did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, just now Fellow Daoist Ye mentioned that..."
