True Monarch Miaoyou had only asked casually. A Fourth-Tier Top-Grade magic array required a wide variety of materials, and gathering them all was no easy task.
"Fellow Daoist, if you do not have the relevant materials, this will be somewhat troublesome. How about this? I have a complete Fourth-Tier Top-Grade Nine Bends Heavenly River Array that I can sell. I will demonstrate the array, and you can judge whether it meets your needs."
He had no intention of helping the other party refine one. Even if Ji An had the materials, he would find another excuse to decline.
He sensed that the moment for his breakthrough had arrived. After adjusting his condition over the next few days, he would step into the Outer Heavens.
Compared to gaining a favor he had no use for, his own affairs were more important.
This magic array had accompanied him for many years, but if he successfully broke through to the Three Flowers Realm, it would lose its purpose. If he failed to break through, then all else would be meaningless.
If the other party had not appeared, he would have chosen to leave the magic array to the sect.
However, the sect's secret treasury had an array of the same grade and type. There was little point in leaving it behind. Exchanging it now for some Fourth-Tier High-grade spirit fruits was even better.
"Certainly."
Ji An readily agreed. As long as the array's defensive effect reached Fourth-Tier Top-Grade, buying a secondhand one did not matter. It merely needed to protect him during his travels.
After a pause, he asked probingingly, "Fellow Daoist, you said just now that if I had come one step later, I would not have seen you. Could it be that you are about to take that final step?"
"Yes."
