250: Done in One Breath, Array Engraving_2
Otherwise, if they were to proceed at high speed, a rollover accident would turn into a huge mess.
After choosing the Array, Lu Qing began to activate his Superpower and entered a state of Cultivation, contemplating those Arrays.
Under a state akin to Sudden Enlightenment, Lu Qing quickly and thoroughly grasped the Arrays.
At that moment, the framework of the carriage he had previously noted appeared in his mind, followed by calculations on how to engrave the Arrays on it.
Not long after, he came up with the perfect engraving plan. After triple-checking and finding no errors, he then exited the Cultivation state and opened his eyes.
Outside, darkness was almost upon them.
His master and the others were gathered around a fire, eating.
“Ah Qing, you’re awake? Come, come over and eat.”
The elder doctor was the first to notice Lu Qing had awoken.
“Thank you.”
Lu Qing walked over and took a roasted naan bread Ma Gu handed to him.
“How’s it going? Any progress?” asked the elder doctor.
“I’ve just about finished calculating everything. I can start the engraving first thing tomorrow morning,” Lu Qing replied, nodding.
Hearing this, both Ma Gu and Wei Zian, the master and disciple, were filled with immense anticipation.
They hadn’t expected Lu Qing to actually be proficient in the legendary Array techniques.
They were eager to witness his skills.
Even the elder doctor was expectant.
He was also curious to see how Lu Qing would engrave the Arrays.
Although he had seen a real Array in Liuyun Town, it was too mysterious; he was completely baffled by its intricacies.
Being able to see Lu Qing engrave an Array might allow him to discern some of its mysterious principles.
With excitement, Ma Gu and the others had almost a sleepless night.
Wei Zian even had a strange dream where he became a mythical being who could command the wind and the rain with a flick of his hand and fly up to the heavens, which was extraordinarily magical.
So, early the next morning, as Lu Qing woke up, he was followed by their gazes constantly fixed on him, whatever he did.
Especially during breakfast, the gazes from Ma Gu and Wei Zian, filled with intense passion, made Lu Qing quite helpless.
“Alright, once I finish this bowl of porridge, I’ll start engraving the Array, okay?” Lu Qing sighed.
“No worries, You eat first,” said Ma Gu and his disciple in unison.
Their gazes, however, remained intense.
Lu Qing sighed again, hurriedly finished the porridge in just a few bites, stood up, and walked towards the carriage.
Ma Gu and Wei Zian followed him closely, their curiosity almost making the elder doctor chuckle.
Arriving at the carriage, Lu Qing took out a carving knife and a bottle of vermilion ink.
The most basic Arrays didn’t demand much from the materials, just spiritual ink was sufficient.
And this bottle of vermilion ink was one that Lu Qing had prepared earlier.
Incidentally, the materials to make the spiritual ink had been collected by Wei Shanhai at his request.
Originally, he intended to use it in the Medicine Field at the Half Mountain Small Courtyard. However, the sudden decision to go to Central State meant the ink was left unused.
He wondered how the thousand-year-old ginseng in the Medicine Field at Half Mountain Small Courtyard was doing now.
Looking at the bottle of spiritual ink, an idea suddenly came to Lu Qing’s mind.
Initially, he had wanted to set up a small Spirit Gathering Array in the Medicine Field of the Half Mountain Small Courtyard to nourish it.
But now that the Array hadn’t been set up and they were not at home, it seemed that the thousand-year-old ginseng might no longer be willing to stay quietly in the Medicine Field.
With a gentle shake of his head, dismissing the distracting thoughts, Lu Qing opened the bottle of ink and took up the carving knife.
He looked at the carriage, Concentrating, waiting until his mind was completely calm.
Then, as the Divine Soul Power surged through his body, the carving knife moved on its own, gently dipping into the spiritual ink in the bottle, and began to engrave on the body of the carriage.
With the observations made the previous day, combined with the Divine Soul calculations, Lu Qing was already familiar with the structure of the carriage.
Thus, the engraving of the Array was relatively quick.
The moment Lu Qing began moving, both Ma Gu and Wei Zian’s eyes widened.
Lu Qing held the engraving knife and drew mysterious arcs upon the carriage, carving one mysterious rune after another.
Even more miraculous was that with each rune carved, a glow first appeared upon the rune, then slowly withdrew into the body of the carriage.
The two had never seen such a bizarre sight; as they watched, not only their eyes but also their mouths gradually widened.
Only the elder doctor had a solemn expression, with Divine Soul Power gently surging in the acupoint between his eyebrows, perceiving the implications revealed by Lu Qing’s engraving of the array.
This entire process of engraving by Lu Qing lasted over several hours.
