Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 287 - 288: Mysterious Compass

"I must take the opportunity to thoroughly study Array." Mu Can secretly made up his mind.

The saying goes well: the more skills one has, the better. Now the only thing Mu Can has up his sleeve, apart from Cultivation, is probably just the Alchemy Technique. However, Alchemy Technique is not something that Mu Can has paid enough attention to.

It was only after hearing about the Array path Wang Cai spoke of that Mu Can decided to take both the Alchemy Dao and Array seriously. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Woof! If you have the time to fully grasp all the Array-related books in the third layer, solving such a simple Array would be no problem at all. Don’t forget, the old master is acclaimed as the number one in Array within the Supreme Interface."

Wang Cai looked smug, and if you didn’t know better, you would think he was the one referred to as the first in Array.

"Is Master’s Array very strong?"

"Woof! What are you talking about? What do you mean ’very strong’? The strongest, the very strongest, do you understand? Even the City Protection Array in Liuxia City, the most prosperous place in the Supreme Interface, was designed by the Master himself."

Wang Cai’s face beamed with pride. Although he only knew a little about Array, when it came to the master thief Heavenly Dao, he was certainly a great figure in Array without question.

However, this also has to do with the habits of the master thief Heavenly Dao. As the most famous thief in the Supreme Interface, if he was not an expert in Array, he wouldn’t be able to even step foot into someone’s front door, let alone steal from them.

The master thief Heavenly Dao, stealing even the Heavenly Dao, not to mention those ordinary powers.

During the days when Wang Cai followed the master thief Heavenly Dao, there was no place in the vast Supreme Interface that was off-limits to them.

They almost visited all the Treasure Vaults of the top ten ranked forces within the Supreme Interface, and in the end, it was because the master thief Heavenly Dao felt bored that he began to explore the uninhabited areas bathed in the light of the Supreme Interface.

If you asked who knew the most about the uninhabited areas within the Supreme Interface, it would undoubtedly be the master thief Heavenly Dao.

And precisely because of the master thief Heavenly Dao’s accomplishments in Array and knowledge of the uninhabited areas, he has an unrivaled status within the Supreme Interface.

After all, the wealth hidden in the uninhabited areas is enough to make those Great Powers in the All Things Realm envious.

But the dangers lurking within those uninhabited areas prevent them from recklessly entering. Under such circumstances, choosing to cooperate with the master thief Heavenly Dao, who has rich experience in exploring uninhabited areas, becomes their best choice.

It is precisely for this reason, that even though they know the master thief Heavenly Dao treats their Treasure Vaults as though they were his own backyard, they still dare not offend him.

"Since Master is so proficient in Array, you must have learned a thing or two about Array while following him. In that case, leave the solving of this Array to you." Now Mu Can was hoping that Wang Cai had learned a bit from the master thief Heavenly Dao and could help him get out of here.

"Of course! Let me tell you, when Lord Wang Cai takes action, no problem is a problem, especially because the Array here isn’t man-made. For a natural Array like this, as long as you can find the Array Eye, breaking the Array is a piece of cake." Wang Cai’s eyes almost soared to the sky, so arrogantly proud that Mu Can almost wanted to beat him on the spot.

"Alright, enough talk. If you’re so great, then hurry up and break it. I want to see just what kind of treasure it is." Mu Can knew the annoying nature of this dog; cajoling was useless, one must use reverse psychology.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Can’s words, Wang Cai instantly exploded.

"What kind of look is that? Don’t trust who? Woof! Watch this great one break this Array for you right now."

It was as if Mu Can’s words had pricked Wang Cai’s pride; he immediately stood up and even took out a Compass from his body, walking slowly around the tree where Mu Can had made his marks, looking very professional.

Watching the dog holding the Compass seriously and earnestly searching for an Array, Mu Can nodded in satisfaction; this dog could only be spurred into doing some real work through reverse psychology.

"Woof! Damn it, how strange, why does Master Wang Cai feel that this Array is so peculiar? Let me take a good look."

Wang Cai held the Compass with one paw, while the other drew several mystic characters in the air, characters of a font Mu Can had never seen before, looking both ancient and unfathomably mysterious.

"What is this?" Mu Can pointed to the characters that appeared out of thin air and asked.

These characters made Mu Can feel something akin to the Dao.

The Dao is inherently too profound to define, yet now he felt its presence in the inscriptions casually drawn by Wang Cai, which seemed unbelievable to Mu Can.

"Woof! Don’t talk; you’re disturbing Master Wang Cai’s performance," Wang Cai did not answer Mu Can’s question but instead grumbled dissatisfiedly.

Then, with a gentle wave of the paw that had finished drawing the characters toward the Compass, those incomprehensible characters danced like little sprites and entered the Compass.

After the characters entered, the Compass immediately transformed. What was originally a barely distinguishable and lackluster object turned a different color, as if water had washed away the dirt hiding its true face, revealing its authenticity.

"What a treasure." Mu Can’s eyes lit up. The changed Compass looked like a first-class treasure just from its appearance.

The transformed Compass emitted a faint golden light, engraved with patterns Mu Can absolutely could not understand, over which lights glided, making the entire Compass seem as if it had come alive.

Seeing the transformation of the Compass, Wang Cai nodded in satisfaction.

"Detect!"

With a soft command, Wang Cai tosses the Compass he was holding up into the sky.

The Compass floated into the air as if weightless, slowly ascending, and a beam of light shone down from above, covering the scope of the big tree and with the Compass rising, the area illuminated expanded.

"Retrieve!"

When the Compass had risen high enough, Wang Cai formed a Hand Formation and summoned the floating Compass back from the sky.

The Compass slowly descended, falling accurately onto Wang Cai’s paw, its surface smooth and restrained, once again taking on the normal dull appearance.

"How is it?" Mu Can asked. This dog had made such a big scene, surely it couldn’t have been for nothing.

"Wait a sec; let me look." Wang Cai held the Compass up close and observed it carefully.

Mu Can leaned in too and saw that the surface of the Compass bore a mysterious pattern much like an Array.

Although Mu Can didn’t understand Arrays, after looting books on Array from Ge and others, he had flicked through them. He hadn’t eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs run; he could recognize the patterns of Arrays.

"Tribulation Void Mysterious Array." Wang Cai held the Compass in one paw and lightly scratched its neck with the other, a look of solemnity on its face.
