Having obtained the Mysterious Heart Notes, Chen Nianzhi treasured them as if he had found a priceless gem. Though the notes before him did not record specific pill formulas or the hundred arts of cultivation, the insights within were exceedingly precious.
Chen Nianzhi reckoned that if he thoroughly mastered them, his proficiency in the hundred arts of cultivation would improve enormously.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi said joyfully, "With these notes in hand, it likely will not be long before the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords can advance to the mid-grade immortal rank."
"Mm."
Jiang Linglong nodded, then said gravely, "But before that, we must rearrange the grand formation to deal with Red Dragon Son's impending attack."
"I understand."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, took out the Gold Foil Heavenly Scripture and made copies of the three ancient books, then handed them to the Void-Refining Immortal.
Only after doing this did he look beyond Qingyuan Immortal Isle and say, "Before I returned, I sent word to Qian Xuande."
"He is a superior immortal-rank formation master. With his help in rearranging the mountain-protecting formation, we should be able to withstand Red Dragon Son."
"By my reckoning, he should be here by now."
As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he saw a streak of light flying in from the distant heavens through the void.
The newcomer was none other than Qian Xuande. Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi, he said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, since you invited me to set up a formation this time, I presume your journey yielded considerable gains?"
"Only a slight harvest."
Chen Nianzhi smiled faintly. Without exchanging too many pleasantries, he set the Redflame Divine Spear aside, then took out the Dragon-Pattern Blackgold Cauldron and said, "I ask Fellow Daoist to use this treasure to set up a mountain-protecting grand formation for me."
