Chapter 416 Taoist Xuan Ya

After Tan Chao left, Wu Yan sat down in the room, but fell into deep thought.

It seems that the matter of the last monster hunting assessment has finally attracted the attention of those who are interested. It will not take long for them to find out about the Ji family's ancestors and grandchildren.

However, Wu Yan is not worried that the Sea Hunting Alliance will pursue this matter. Ji Guitian is now his team's bodyguard, and he has specially registered this matter with Ma Tianxiao. Although this sea hunting war allows an additional three spiritual chefs, alchemists or beast hunters, Wu Yan still registered the two of them as the team's bodyguard disciples, rather than hired and recruited general bodyguards. In this way, there is obviously no need to worry about others using this point to make a fuss.

It is also part of Ji Guitian's job to help him, the team leader, to make plans and pass the assessment, and no one can find any problem with it.

For such a short time of teaching, training and assessment, the Sea Hunting Alliance did not expect these team leaders to understand much. They just wanted to popularize some common sense issues that all team leaders need to pay attention to when fighting against sea tribes and sea beasts.

Wu Yan believed that the grandparents and grandchildren of the Ji family should come to surrender sincerely, so after obtaining their consent, he accepted them as formal disciples of the Baoxiao team. The key issue now is their personal safety.

Once the other leaders realize that the grandparents and grandchildren of the Ji family still have such a great role and value, Wu Yan and it is difficult to imagine what those guys with bad intentions will do.

Ji Guitian also told Wu Yan privately that they still have some enemies in this Sea Hunting City. Although these enemies dare not deal with them in the Sea Hunting City, they may not be guaranteed once they leave the city. Therefore, the safety of the grandparents and grandchildren should also be paid special attention to.

However, since Wu Yan dared to recruit them into his team, he had already prepared to deal with all enemies. Wu Yan didn't believe that in their current situation, they would be able to provoke the existence of Yuanying stage monsters. As for the enemies in Jindan stage, Wu Yan didn't care at all.

It's useless to worry too much about these things, just be cautious and careful just in case.

The most important thing now is to seize all the time. Before the hunting sea war begins, it is the most important to improve your own strength and the overall strength of the team.

However, some other information brought by Tan Chao made Wu Yan quite embarrassed.

Now, there are still four vacancies in the team. In the past month, Tan Chao and Xing Xiao almost took turns to inquire outside and find suitable candidates.

But unfortunately, there was no result. And what the team lacks most now is the formation master who can preside over a large formation. Wu Yan's hunting sea order contains a complete map of the Demon Sea. Wu Yan also learned a lot about the various islands in the Demon Sea from Liu Qingyun.

In fact, as early as two months ago, after the hunting sea assessment ended, Wu Yan had already selected the base island for the hunting sea war after obtaining the sea map. It was an island with a very special location. Moreover, there was a group of powerful monsters entrenched on the island. Among this group of monsters, there were even monster cultivators in the eighth-level transformation period. In order to gain a foothold on that island and establish a base to fight against the beast tide and the sea clan, the first task was to eliminate the monsters that occupied the island.

Moreover, in order to occupy this island, Wu Yan also needed an extremely powerful magic array to protect it, so as to catch all the monsters in one fell swoop. In this way, he needed several array masters who were proficient in magic arrays and loyal and reliable to preside over the array.

During this period, Tan Chao and Xing Xiao were looking into the matter of array masters and where they could buy such powerful array formation tools.

In the past two months, Tan Chao did find out some information related to this.

According to the information reported by Tan Chao, the best array master in Liehai City is the array master from Nijiabao City. And the most powerful array can only be found in the market of Nijiabao City.

This made Wu Yan a little troubled. Last time, his relationship with Ni Quan broke down, and Wu Yan was not very confident about the Ni family. If he was asked to recruit array masters from the Ni family and then buy the arrays made by the Ni family, it would be equivalent to entrusting his base to the Ni family to guard, which he absolutely would not allow to happen.

The other place to train array masters and the person who made the array was the array instructor Xuan Ya Taoist who was about to start the array course training.

Xuan Ya Taoist was the only one among the four instructors who was born as a casual cultivator. He had neither the support of any sectarian forces nor any family relationship. He was simply a legendary existence in Liehai City.

In addition to being the deputy city lord of the array instructor of Liehai City, this person had no other duties. And this person has always been independent of any power.

In Xumi Sea, there are many power families that want to recruit him, but they are all rejected by him without reason.

Although this person is in the late Jindan stage, his greatest ability is all in the formation.

It is said that he participated in the arrangement of part of the entire formation of Liehai City. Almost everyone in Liehai City knows that there are two most famous formation masters in Liehai City, one is the Yuanying stage ancestor of the Ni family, and the other is the Taoist Xuan Ya.

Some people say that Taoist Xuan Ya's attainments in the art of formation are no worse than that of the Ni family's ancestor. There are even rumors that Taoist Xuan Ya is even better than that of the Ni family's ancestor in the art of formation. Of course, this is just a rumor, and most people don't take it seriously.

After all, the Ni family's ancestor is still a Yuanying stage ancestor. How could the magic array tools he refines be worse than a Jindan stage cultivator?

Even the Ni family's ancestor, when talking about the art of formation, is quite proud and doesn't look down on Taoist Xuan Ya.

Although Taoist Xuan Ya was born as a casual cultivator, he seems to have reached his limit because of his cultivation and life span. It is said that most of his life was spent on studying magic arrays, so he has been unable to break through the Yuanying stage. It is said that his life span is not much left, but looking at his current situation, I am afraid that he has no hope of breaking through the Yuanying stage in this life.

Taoist Xuan Ya has a strange temperament and has accepted a total of eight disciples in his life. It is said that these eight disciples are all people with strange and arrogant temperaments, and after being influenced by them for a long time, they are also 70% similar to Taoist Xuan Ya.

These eight disciples are all very famous formation masters in Liehai City. In the past hunting sea battles, many teams have invited them at high prices. They are considered very experienced hunting sea formation masters.

This year's hunting sea battle is a bit strange. It is said that someone has contacted them in advance, hoping to invite them to participate in this year's hunting sea battle, but for some reason, these eight formation masters from Taoist Xuan Ya did not accept anyone's invitation to recruit, and all returned to Taoist Xuan Ya from all sides.

Wu Yan had made two preparations. He planned to ask for leave from Taoist Xuan Ya again, continue to retreat and practice, and thoroughly comprehend the seeds of the swallowed netherworld realm.

He asked Tan Chao to inquire about it from many sources, but the information he got was that although this Taoist Xuan Ya was a casual cultivator, his temper was so strange that it was unkind. Moreover, apart from being interested in things related to formations, he was not interested in anything else.

If you want to bribe this person to get a vacation, it may not be easy.

On the other hand, Wu Yan also planned to see if he could buy some powerful formation instruments from him, but judging from the information he got, this idea may also be difficult to implement.

This Taoist Xuan Ya was obsessed with formations to the point of madness. He regarded the formation instruments he had researched as more important than his life, and it was absolutely impossible to sell them.

However, Wu Yan had to go on this trip anyway. There was still a month before the battle assessment of the Lord. If he could not fully master the realm of the Netherworld Yuanshen before this assessment, it would be difficult to win when he met Xuanyuan Jie, Shi Wuming, Xiao Xuelian, Xie Yunya, the four cultivators who had comprehended the realm of the Yuanshen.

It is precisely because of the control of the Yuanshen realm that Wu Yan has a clearer understanding of the power of the Yuanshen realm.

No wonder Xuanyuan Jie, Shi Wuming, and Xiao Xuelian can stand in the top three of the list of genius cultivators and have never been surpassed.

Under the influence of the Yuanshen realm, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to fully exert their strength. Even some powerful magic weapons will be out of control under the influence of the Yuanshen realm.

In such a competition, how can ordinary cultivators be the opponent of cultivators who have comprehended the Yuanshen realm?

After pondering for a long time, Wu Yan did not think of a strategy to deal with it. At this moment, Wu Yan's heart suddenly moved, and he raised his hand to take out the Hunting Sea Order.

After a burst of light ringing, a mechanical voice came from the Hunting Sea Order: "Congratulations to the ninth order master Wu Yan, you got full marks in the demon hunting assessment and won the first place..."

There was another series of mechanical voices below, reporting all the numbers of Wu Yan. Wu Yan smiled calmly, and only after the light on the Sea Hunting Order gradually disappeared and the voice completely disappeared did he put the order back into his body.

This result was not beyond Wu Yan's expectations. The more so, the more eager Wu Yan was to meet the legendary strange array master Xuan Ya Taoist in person.

However, if he wanted to meet the Xuan Ya Taoist, it seemed unreasonable not to prepare some presentable gifts. However, ordinary gifts were not in his eyes, which was a bit difficult.

Moreover, Wu Yan still had some doubts about the Taoist's attainments in the array.

After pondering for a long time, Wu Yan decided to go to the market in Nijiabao City first. Only by understanding the power of the array sold in Nijia Market, and comparing them, could Wu Yan make the most accurate choice when he met the Xuan Ya Taoist.

After packing up, Wu Yan left the barracks directly and flew to Nijiabao City halfway up the mountain.
