Chapter 422: [Hidden Mountain Array]

A moment later, the gentle sound of flowing stream came from afar, urging Chen Yan to quicken his steps.

After moving out from a cluster of trees, at the foot of a small hill, there lay a winding mountain stream at his feet.

It was currently the rainy season in summer, so the stream was abundant with water, stretching four to five meters wide, with clear waters revealing the riverbed at a depth of about two meters at its deepest point.

Chen Yan looked up to identify the flow direction of the Primordial Qi and then followed the stream upwards.

After walking for a few miles, he reached a mountain stream waterfall upstream.

The height difference between this mountain stream is not significant, only about five to six meters, but the flow emerged from within the mountainside, resembling a curtain of water draped over the mountain.

Chen Yan chuckled and sighed lightly: "A natural Grotto Heaven Blessed Land."

He set down his backpack and leapt into the upper pool, gracefully landing beneath the water curtain.

As the water splashed over him, his clothes quickly soaked through with its force. Yet, he simply clung tightly to the water curtain, climbing the mountainside like a monkey or gecko, cautiously inching upwards, probing and searching.

Climbing the mountain wall while under the force of the waterfall posed considerable difficulty; if it weren’t for Chen Yan’s superhuman physique, he might have been swept away long ago.

Even so, it took Chen Yan more than half an hour to completely search the mountain wall beneath the water curtain.

His eyes suddenly lit up, as his fingers seemed to find a crevice on the mountain wall.

With a forceful grip of his fingers, and a gentle exhale, Chen Yan extracted something from the mountain wall!

The item was far bigger than he had anticipated, prompting Chen Yan to switch to holding it with both hands before leaping backward.

With a splash, he fell into the pool beneath the waterfall.

A moment later, Chen Yan climbed ashore, still clutching the object he had taken from the mountain wall.

The jade stone—a huge chunk!

As large as the usual millstone found in a farmer’s home!

Even with Chen Yan’s stature and arm reach, he could only just barely manage to hold it.

A millstone this size would likely weigh several hundred pounds, something only someone as strong as Chen Yan could easily carry from the water.

Reaching the bank, he placed the large millstone on the ground, wiped the water droplets from his face, and settled down beside it for a careful inspection.

A few seconds later, Chen Yan couldn’t help but sigh.

What a treasure!

·

The quality of the jade is superb, unquestionably top-grade. With such a large piece of superior jade, selling it in the market would certainly fetch a sky-high price, in the billions!

Ordinarily, jade of this quality, even just palm-sized, could be carved into a bracelet or an ornament, becoming an ultimate luxury item.

Not to mention, this piece is as big as a millstone!!

It’s unclear where Xie Jiuyan obtained such a large piece of fine jade.

Perhaps he mined it personally, even cracking open mountains himself.

Given Xie Jiuyan’s skills, it wouldn’t be impossible.

This top-grade jade is an excellent material for crafting Magical Artifacts, capable of storing Primordial Qi!

Chen Yan gently stroked the jade stone, carefully sensing the faint flow of Primordial Qi within the massive jade stone.

This is the core of the array Xie Jiuyan set up for the "Hidden Mountain Array!"

Xie Jiuyan injected the stone with ample Primordial Qi, using this top-grade millstone-sized jade as the core!

Then buried it in the mountain stream waterfall, utilizing the flow of water, aided by the terrain, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi circulating.

Like a waterwheel generator.

Serving as a continuous source to supply the entire Hidden Mountain Array with Primordial Qi, driving the array’s operation!

It’s worth noting, in comparison to the Array knowledge Chen Yan learned from the Domain Realm, Xie Jiuyan’s setup for the "Hidden Mountain Array" is simplistic and crude.

Yet Grandmaster Xie ingeniously invented it, self-researched from scratch, which is quite commendable.

Gazing at the millstone-sized top-grade jade stone, Chen Yan sighed.

In order to fit into this world’s Heavenly Dao, he had given up all of his original Spell heritage; he didn’t even carry any Storage Magical Artifacts, leaving this massive millstone jade stone to sit here for now.

Afterward, Chen Yan made a bonfire near the pool, changed into clean clothes, and hung his wet clothes on tree branches to dry by the fire.

He climbed beside the waterfall, ascending the mountainside by hand, reaching the top of the hillside.

Sitting atop the hillside, Chen Yan squinted, surveying the surroundings.

The flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the vicinity still adhered to the original movement pattern of the "Hidden Mountain Array."

However, since Chen Yan had removed the core of the array, and retrieved several materials Xie Jiuyan used for the setup, the array was now without a source.

The existing Primordial Qi continued to dissipate, yet without replenishment, the array would inevitably fade away.

Judging by the current rate of Primordial Qi dissipation, Chen Yan estimated it would take another half day.

He jumped back down the hillside and rested by the bonfire.

He boiled a pot of dehydrated vegetable soup, adding in a few pieces of beef.

After Chen Yan heartily consumed a bowl of vegetable beef soup, the sense of fullness made him exhale comfortably.
