Chapter 165: Chapter 91 Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture Great Formation Map_3

"It’s just a pity, to have such a person but not be able to know or utilize them."

The young girl scrutinized the cup in her hands and tossed it onto the table, saying,

"The ruler of Chen Country is nothing more than dry bones in a tomb now."

......

Li Guanyi was led through layers of pine and cypress trees, and in this Taoist Temple, he met Zu Wenyuan, who still possessed an elegant air despite seemingly having grown somewhat weary. It was evident that deducing the great ritual’s formation was a significant burden for the old man.

However, upon seeing Li Guanyi arrive, Zu Wenyuan perked up and invited him to sit down.

He then personally poured him a cup of tea, smiling, "I heard the Xue Family’s carriage arrived today, so I guessed you would be here soon. I thought there was nothing special today, but someone from the palace just came, unavoidably consuming quite a bit of my energy."

"It made you wait a while, Guanyi."

Li Guanyi realized then that the old man hadn’t been delayed by deducing the ritual formation.

It was for some other reason.

But this reason could not be shared with the junior Taoist, so the Taoist told Li Guanyi it was about the great ritual formation.

The old man chatted with him for a while, about the Xue Family, the great ritual, the numerous arrivals, and then finally looked at Li Guanyi, smiling, "Guan Yi, since you have come here, I presume you are willing to study Mathematics and learn the ’Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture’ with this old man."

Li Guanyi knew they were getting to serious matters and said, "Yes."

The young man had already decided to apprentice himself, set down his teacup, and started to bow, but Zu Wenyuan quickly extended a hand to stop him, half laughing, half crying, "You child, why such haste?"

"Although I wished to accept you, and even greatly looked forward to meeting you before I did,"

"after seeing you, I changed my mind."

The old man looked at the young man before him, sighed, and then said softly,

"People like you, with unresolved worldly ties and deep entanglements in mortal life, are not suited for monastic life."

"However, don’t look so distraught, since I’ve let you come, naturally, I will still pass on the ’Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture’ to you. While this isn’t some unique mastery of the Martial World, it will allow you to grasp the myriad variations... If mastered, all martial arts in the world could be at your fingertips."

"Not being confined to variations in techniques could, for you, also resolve your cultivation issues."

"Of course, mastering this will require quite some time."

"You shall come here every day for an hour, and I shall teach you gradually. Today, I will start by teaching you the introductory parts..."

The old man led Li Guanyi to a quiet room, whereupon seeing the scroll on the table, displaying complex numbers and trajectories densely packed, it made him feel dizzy at a glance, prompting him to ask instinctively, "This is..."

Zu Wenyuan answered offhandedly, "Ah, this is the reason I couldn’t meet you when you arrived today. Today the Qilin suddenly went berserk, and someone from the palace came seeking me; unavoidably, I had to draft a formation for them."

!!!!!

Emotions surged in Li Guanyi, and he inquired,

"The formation of the Qilin Palace... Did you design it?"

Zu Wenyuan shook his head, saying, "Naturally not, that is a technique of the Yin Yang Five Elements school. But since it’s a formation, it ultimately cannot escape mathematical deduction. The people knew I was here; how could they not come to bother me?"

"Having no choice, I had to help them adjust the formation."

"What you’re seeing is the Formation Map of the Qilin Palace."

Li Guanyi stopped in his tracks, staring fixedly at the scroll. The formation map right before his eyes seemed to emit a radiance—

The Qilin Palace’s.

Formation Map!

Seeing his interest, the old man said, "Guan Yi, are you interested in the Formation Map?"

Li Guanyi nodded, and the old man smiled, "Well then." He casually rolled out the scroll, unfurling a complex and densely packed Formation Map before Li Guanyi, with a Qilin in the center and countless elaborate characters around it, resembling chains.

The old man sat cross-legged, pointed to the Formation Map, and said,

"Since ancient times, those who know are not as good as those who like."

"Those who like are not as good as those who enjoy."

"Since you take an interest in this Qilin Formation Diagram, today, I will use this Four Symbols Formation Diagram as an example to teach you the contents of the ’Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture.’

"How about it?!"
