Bai Zixi also frowned, her eyes showing confusion.
Mr. Zhuang watched the three of them, smiling slightly, without saying a word.
...
At this moment, in front of the solemn shrine on the fourth floor of the Formation Pavilion,
the Chief Elder lit three sticks of incense and placed them in the incense burner.
Incense smoke curled up gently.
After a while, one incense stick burned shorter than the other two.
The one on the left side burned the most, leaving the shortest length, but there was still a long piece left.
The incense on the right burned some, but not too much.
The incense stick in the middle remained untouched.
The Chief Elder was pleased in his heart and nodded,
"Not mastered, good..."
It was not just unmastered; it was completely unmastered!
The Chief Elder felt somewhat relieved and also a bit emotional.
There was talent, a solid foundation in Formation arts, and he had learned the correct things, but after all, he was too young. Studying too much leads to confusion, and his understanding was somewhat lacking...
He didn't grasp any part of the Ultimate Five Elements Formation.
It seemed his guess was correct.
His Junior Brothers and Sisters were indeed stronger than him.
But even if they were stronger and more talented, truly comprehending the Five Elements Spirit Formation was still far off...
Except for the middle one, the other two sticks of sandalwood incense in the burner were still far from being completely burned through...
The Chief Elder let out a sigh of relief.
He bowed to the shrine and devoutly said,
"...bless our Five Elements Sect, may the inheritance not be lost, and let the Way of Formations flourish!"
There was no response from within the shrine.
But the wooden carving of the Elder in the Taoist Field opened its eyes.
