The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 891 - 991: Array Partially Deciphered

"These fifty years don't specifically mean just fifty years. What I mean is, for now, let's set it tentatively at fifty years. After testing the speed at which the evil spirit within these people dissipates, we'll set a more precise time. If it's less than fifty years, we'll go with fifty years. If it's more, we'll extend it!" Wang Ye said aloud!"So, can your array last that long?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously. However, by asking, he already agreed to Wang Ye's method. After all, this isn't something they can keep monitoring forever.

"I'll check on it once every five years. I won't let my array fail!" Wang Ye declared!

Ye Tianfan pondered carefully and then said, "If you can't make it in five years, do you have any emergency measures?"

After all, if Wang Ye can't make it in five years and the array fails, it would be terrible if someone accidentally stumbled in!

However, Ye Tianfan also knew that Wang Ye coming over once every five years would hinder his own cultivation. Even though it's unclear how far Pingyue Sect is from here, it's definitely not close. Coming over once every five years means he'd be unable to go into prolonged seclusion for fifty years, which made Ye Tianfan feel a tad guilty!

"Don't worry, for us array practitioners, any long-term array will have emergency measures. Besides, my array can last at least ten years. I come every five years to handle any unexpected issues in time," Wang Ye reassured him!

Ye Tianfan nodded and then asked, "If we want your array to last longer, what materials would it require? Let me see if I have them so I can help out!"

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Wang Ye thought for a moment: "We have all the other materials. But if you want to extend the duration, we'll need some high-quality spirit stones. One lower-grade spirit stone can extend the duration by ten years."

It was because the array Wang Ye could create at that time was relatively low-level, so one lower-grade spirit stone was enough to extend its duration by ten years. However, if it were a mid-level or high-level array, even a high-grade spirit stone wouldn't make much of a difference when thrown into the array!

When Ye Tianfan heard this, he directly took out a mid-grade spirit stone and asked, "If it's a mid-grade spirit stone, how long can it extend the duration?"

"Mid-grade spirit stone?" Wang Ye was taken aback by Ye Tianfan's words. He hadn't expected Ye Tianfan to produce a mid-grade spirit stone directly, as he was talking about lower-grade stones. However, since there was a mid-grade spirit stone, it would surely have a better effect and could improve the array. The more advanced the array, the higher the grade of spirit stones needed!

"With a mid-grade spirit stone, for the array I initially planned to set up, it could add about a thousand years. Still, if I improve it with the mid-grade stone, it should last around a hundred years," Wang Ye exclaimed excitedly!

Bear in mind, Wang Ye's Pingyue Sect is just a minor sect and isn't wealthy, so he was always thrifty when practicing arrays. And now, having an opportunity to work on more advanced arrays was indeed thrilling for Wang Ye!

"A thousand years? A hundred years?" Ye Tianfan, who knew little about arrays, had only seen Zhen Chu release them, and at that time, they used supreme spirit stones as if they were free!

So Ye Tianfan figured that if a lower-grade spirit stone added ten years, a mid-grade one might add twenty or thirty years. But he was taken aback when Wang Ye told him it could extend by a thousand years. Ye Tianfan was shocked since the mid-grade spirit stone's effect compared to lower-grade stones was a hundred times more potent, something he hadn't anticipated!

Ye Tianfan suddenly thought, if they used supreme spirit stones, would this array last forever? After all, supreme spirit stones could slowly self-repair. The spirit power used would gradually regenerate!

It seemed he still didn't quite understand arrays. But no matter, once he returned, he'd study arrays a bit, at least enough not to be clueless when encountering one later on.

As for mastering arrays, he'd learn along with artifact refining – after all, learning array-making required crafting array banners, and crafting those was akin to creating magical treasures!

"It's all up to you regarding arrays. I'm not very knowledgeable about them, so I'll leave it to you. But if I have the time, I'll come by to take a look," Ye Tianfan remarked!

Wang Ye nodded and then said to Ye Tianfan, "Then, Senior Brother Tianfan, once City Lord Ma finishes speaking, I'll start releasing the array!"

Ye Tianfan nodded and then looked towards City Lord Ma, who happened to be ending his speech with, "Well, everyone, until we meet again!"

"You go find someone to test first; I'll chat with City Lord Ma!" Ye Tianfan said to Wang Ye standing by his side!

Nodding, Wang Ye then swiftly flashed into the sand city to conduct his test!

"How did it go?" Ye Tianfan asked City Lord Ma as he approached!

"They have accepted the current situation and will fully cooperate with our actions, even if it means the destruction of the entire sand city," City Lord Ma spoke. His eyes, already red, started tearing up again!

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan gently patted City Lord Ma's shoulder and said, "We've decided to seal the entire sand city with an array. Once everyone in the city naturally dies, we'll destroy the entire sand city!"

City Lord Ma, hearing Ye Tianfan's words, gratefully knelt down in front of Ye Tianfan and Wang Ye!

Ye Tianfan pulled City Lord Ma back up and said, "I've said this isn't something I do. But don't be too happy just yet. You've got no ties to the sand city anymore. Even if you come back, it won't be of any use; you won't even be able to see what's happening inside!"

Nonchalantly, City Lord Ma remained grateful, saying, "It doesn't matter. I'm already content. As long as my people can live naturally, I'm satisfied!"

Ye Tianfan nodded again and then said, "Once the sand city is sealed properly, I'll take everyone to a new place where you'll begin a new life. Have you figured out how to lead these dozens of people?"

City Lord Ma nodded and replied, "I have, but I'll still trouble the Immortal to take us near a bigger town, making it easier for us to survive."
