Chapter Fifty-Four: The Fu Family Arrives! Young Master Zhou is Actually a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Ding had been in the Tianxing Sect Market of Yuanwu Kingdom for a whole year.

His life has been regular and fulfilling over the past year.

Every morning, he would meditate and cultivate for an hour in his inn room, circulating the true essence of the fourth level of the "Azure Origin Sword Technique" several times to stabilize his realm.

Afterwards, he would go to various shops in the market to inquire about information and purchase some spiritual materials and array tools unique to the Yuanwu Kingdom.

Almost every afternoon, he would go to Xin Ruyin's quiet bamboo grove courtyard to discuss the art of formations with her.

……

This day, in a room at the inn.

Zhou Ding sat cross-legged, holding something in his hands.

It was the golden treasure chest brought back from the Crimson Forbidden Zone.

On the surface of the box, the pale blue light curtain continued to flow, with countless fine runes moving within it, exuding an unshakeable aura of resilience.

For a year, he tried countless times to break the restriction, but all his efforts were in vain.

His current mastery of formations is far superior to what it was a year ago.

Thanks to Xin Ruyin, a genius in formations, whose insightful and often incisive guidance, as well as her unique understanding and deduction of ancient formations, Zhou Ding's progress in formations was remarkably rapid.

Many obscure and difficult parts of the "Qingyang Array Manual" have now become clear.

He was confident that his understanding of nested formations, the flow of spiritual energy, and the interactions of elemental relationships was no less than that of veterans who had studied formations for over a decade.

He was even able to try to optimize and improve certain basic formations, something he wouldn't have dared to imagine a year ago.

Xin Ruyin also praised him more than once for his amazing comprehension, saying that he could understand things immediately.

During their frequent exchanges, the two developed a subtle sense of mutual appreciation as fellow seekers of the Dao.

Although one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator and the other is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"If this Miss Xin didn't possess the Dragon Roar Physique, her future achievements would truly be limitless," Zhou Ding thought to himself.

The Dragon's Roar Physique is a rare congenital incurable disease.

This illness destined her to have a short life.

In the original story, she ultimately could not escape the fate of dying young, and even with Han Li's help, she only lived a few more years.

"If there's an opportunity, I might be able to help her," Zhou Ding thought to himself, but then shook his head.

He had no relation to this woman, and there was little he could do.

Moreover, his purpose for this trip was clear.

Learn formations and break the restrictions on treasure chests.

As for other things, just let things take their course.

He snapped out of his reverie and his gaze returned to the golden treasure chest.

However, even with his improved array formation skills, Zhou Ding was still helpless against the restrictions on the treasure chest.

He tried various methods of breaking the seal, learned from the "Qingyang Array Manual" and Xin Ruyin—the mutual restraint of the five elements, the resonance of spiritual power, the clash of runes, the suppression of nodes...

But the restriction was like the deepest pool, silently swallowing and dissolving all the probing, remaining completely unmoved.

Sometimes when he inputs a tentative burst of magic, the barrier will tremble slightly, absorbing the magic and then rebounding back in a gentler way, as if mocking his overestimation of his abilities.

"This restriction... is probably not an ordinary protective or concealment restriction."
