Chapter 1330: 989: Love the Job You Do_2

Instead, Elder Scholar gathered all the eerie creatures for a briefing, which mainly involved announcing the results, giving recognition, setting goals, planning for the future, and motivating new members to accumulate more merits. Finally, including Elder Scholar, all the eerie creatures were selected by Jiang Yuan and then transported into an unlocked new instance, thrown into it to continue pioneering.

"Phew!"

The autumn wind blew in gusts.

A few hundred eerie creatures who were in a sea of flames the previous second were collectively teleported to an autumnal forest in the next, even though they were eerie creatures, they couldn’t help but shiver.

But after a few seconds of calm, all the eerie creatures quietly breathed a sigh of relief — this place was much better than the Sea of Flames!

"Jiang has arranged a relatively comfortable environment understanding your hard work, I don’t need to say more, right?

In the future, those who do not obey the instructions will be thrown into places like the Sea of Flames to open up wasteland. No one returns until all the work is done!" Elder Scholar cleared his throat, both comforting and threatening, making hundreds of evil cultivators obedient.

Qi Baijun, exhausted, took the lead, now understanding the situation, knowing that there weren’t any formidable monsters at this stage, just some laborious tasks. So after simply arranging the work, he received food and water, ready to rest well for two days.

This scene made Ugly Slave envious to death, wiggling his short legs, with a full apologetic smile approaching Elder Scholar, begging for a chance to shine.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan bound each Earth Seal, watching the dirty air disappear. The entire Sea of Flames rolled as dense spiritual energy surged to the sky.

The red, orange, and golden flames reflected against the blue sky and white clouds. If not for the overwhelming heat, the scenery would be absolutely beautiful.

[The Flame Sea instance has been purified, and its many integrated world fragments have been put to use. You can continue to look for compatible world fragments to further supplement the new world]

[Note: Current new world completion rate is 85%, with dense spiritual energy, it can accommodate a large migration of demon beasts]

"I have to find time to check each new instance, see which can be integrated. If the lands are big enough, maybe with two or three more, it will reach 100%." Jiang Yuan looked at the small incomplete part on the thumbnail, feeling very excited.

The world suited for demon cultivators has a completion rate of 70%; the world suited for mortals has a completion rate of 68%. He couldn’t wait to see what the new world he pieced together would look like after completion.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the new instance where the eerie army had just been sent.

Then, he discovered Elder Scholar had left a message saying that Ugly Slave was eager to present a unique skill related to arrays, even without formally learning the cultivation technique of an Array Master, it could still be used.

"Interesting!" Jiang Yuan had already been thinking of having Ugly Slave find a way to break the seals at Immortal Peak and Deep Water Pool, the evil cultivator’s Holy Land, so he could take away those small spaces and deal a heavy blow to the evil cultivators.

He had yet to make the request, and Ugly Slave had already rushed to offer his skills, it seemed today was going to be doubly blessed!

Entering the new instance, he saw a large group of eerie creatures busily working in the forest. On the cleaned-up clearing, over a hundred eerie creatures were squatting or sitting, each holding a bowl of food and shoveling it into their mouths.

"It was my idea to have them rotate for meals, rest, and work. Strictly following a roster to work and rest in an orderly manner is more beneficial for long-term mental and physical health." Elder Scholar took all the credit this time, without mentioning Qi Baijun.

Jiang Yuan praised them a bit but was actually not interested in the internal disputes among the eerie. He didn’t care about the process, only the result!

If the most work could be completed in the shortest time, maximizing the benefit of the food and water he provided, that was a good leader among the eerie. If not, he could always replace them with someone capable; if there were any uprisings or troubles, he might as well just slice them up, as he wouldn’t suffer any loss.

"Jiang, you overpraise, this is just to make sure your extensive supplies are worth it!"

Elder Scholar smiled and gestured for Ugly Slave to come over. Seeing the proper way he behaved, he felt very satisfied, "Ugly Slave has also figured it out. After all, with a unique skill, it shouldn’t just be buried."

"Greetings, Mr. Jiang." Ugly Slave stepped forward to salute, suppressing his hidden complex feelings while looking at the man responsible for his "death."

He forced a smile, saying, "Originally I thought to have Elder Scholar write down the cultivation techniques I learned, but then thought an introductory low-level technique of Array Masters, like ’Beginner’s Guide to Arrays,’ isn’t much useful.

These years, I’ve been listening to Master’s guidance; and also comprehended quite a few experiences myself, compiled into a unique secret technique for breaking arrays. If Mr. Jiang doesn’t mind, I can impart this skill to you completely."

Though transformed into an eerie creature, he couldn’t absorb spiritual energy nor did he have spiritual power, but the knowledge and accumulated experiences over the years were still in his mind. He could orally teach the skills of breaking arrays, and the learners weren’t restricted to Array Masters.

"Simply put, various arrays are like locks, and Array Masters are those who can make and unlock them. After my personal teaching, you may not know how to create locks, but you can use my summarized experience to unlock the locks made by others.

It’s just as the saying goes, ’everything changes but the core remains the same.’ I cannot guarantee that after learning, you can break all advanced arrays 100 percent; however, unless the array is particularly tricky and unreasonable, it definitely won’t trap you in usual circumstances!"

Ugly Slave thought it over again and added: "Even the arrays personally designed and arranged by my Master, Hao Daqiang, I can break about sixty to seventy percent using this method."

Jiang Yuan’s eyes brightened up hearing this, "What about the arrays you arranged in Leisure Sect, such as the Holy Land Seal, can this skill break those?"

"Of course! Provided that you master all the techniques I bestow."

"Excellent, I’ll learn this array-breaking skill from you right away. If it can easily dissolve the Holy Land Seal, I will grant you a great merit!"

At this moment, nothing attracted the eerie creatures more than merits.

Ugly Slave sat cross-legged and said solemnly: "After all, it’s my experience compiled over many years and hasn’t been made into a book. Hence, I will try to explain as clearly as possible. Mr. Jiang, if you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime, and I’ll do my utmost to solve them for you."

Jiang Yuan nodded, eager to hear what he had to say.

[Eerie Ugly Slave, skill impartation — ’100 Set Solutions to Array Breaking Techniques,’ do you accept?]

The system notification made him pause, thinking this was probably not the name Ugly Slave gave the skill; the system’s sense of humor was just... too down-to-earth.

After hesitating briefly, he clicked accept, and Jiang Yuan watched as the progress bar slowly moved forward.

He could only see Ugly Slave’s mouth moving, sometimes using hands to gesture, speaking very earnestly, yet still couldn’t hear a thing, as if the system perfectly shielded it.

Even staring at him trying to lip-read, Ugly Slave’s face would become blurred, making it impossible to see the mouth movements clearly.

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being a disciple of a great array master, though he hasn’t written a book, his array analysis is very clear and easy to understand." Elder Scholar listened for a while, nodding in silent praise.

Looking at Jiang, who appeared contemplative and serious while listening and gaining insights, he figured it probably had great utility for Jiang to gain the accumulated experiences of Ugly Slave over many years.

In reality, Jiang Yuan was quite bored, first resting his face on his hands in a daze, then opened up the shared sense to see what his dispatched No.7 and No.8 avatars were doing.

The former directly went to Carefree City, heading straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

Jiang Yuan had already discussed a plan with Du Li — after Hu Zhile cooperated with Gao Yi for interrogation, Qian Xiaoyu and Shang Jiuxiao would be imprisoned in the underground water prison, waiting for their "comrades" to come "rescue" them.

"My turn for a day off, just when I said I was busy lately and needed a good rest, yet I was called to work again, exhausting!" The iron door of the underground water prison closed, and the sleepy voice of a guard drifted over, "Let’s go, let’s go, with layers of arrays holding them, and both in shackles, they can’t escape. Let’s grab a drink, brothers!"

"Anyhow, the interrogation is over. Next, they’ll be thrown to the Power of the Celestial Dao’s Remnant to be devoured. Even the Vice Alliance Hierarch doesn’t want to bother with them anymore, there’s no issue if we sneak away to rest."

"The Vice Alliance Hierarch has plenty on his plate! Just dealing with the law enforcement hall filled with demon cultivators is enough to give him a headache, who knows which ones are evil cultivators?"

"Let’s go quickly. It’s cold, damp, and gloomy here. Only a ghost would enjoy staying in this place..."

After a brief period of noise and commotion, as the sounds of footsteps and chatting gradually faded away, Shang Jiuxiao finally slowly lifted his head, shaking his still dazed head vigorously, muttering incomprehensibly, "Qian Xiaoyu, you betrayed me!"

"You call that betrayal?" The other was also groggy, instinctively refuting, "They must have searched my soul and found you. It wasn’t me directly selling you out... Damn it, I still don’t quite understand how we got exposed?"
