“Ming Yu, the Formation within the Array Plate is too mysterious and profound, without my explanation, you won’t be able to understand it. If you’re interested, how about we make an exchange?”

Xu Yan held the Array Plate and said with a smile to Ming Yu, who had just come out of her contemplative trance.

“Exchange?”

Ming Yu pondered, “How do we exchange? What do we exchange with?”

“I’ll explain the Formation in the Array Plate to you, and you explain the Principles of your being to me. How about that?”

Xu Yan felt that if he could obtain the Principles within Ming Yu, it would be of great help for his breakthrough in the Great Achievement of Establishing Dao.

The power of Ming Yu was very special; she was an exceptional entity unto herself.

“The Principles within me?”

Ming Yu fell into deep thought, apparently analyzing the pros and cons, and did not respond for a long time as if her thoughts had stalled.

Xu Yan was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Ming Yu to regain her train of thought.

“We can try it!”

Ming Yu nodded and agreed.

“Then let’s begin.”

Xu Yan was overjoyed.

With a wave of his hand, he took out two pieces of paper, not ordinary paper but paper that could carry the depiction of Principles.

On one sheet, Xu Yan drew several Formation patterns, saying, “This is part of the composition of a Formation.”

He gestured for Ming Yu to also draw a part of her own Principles.

Ming Yu’s eyes shimmered with a silvery-white brilliance. She raised a hand and on the other sheet, she drew several Law patterns, which Xu Yan recognized at a glance as one of the Principles within her.

If he could get Ming Yu to draw out all her Principles, he could confirm his guess.

During their subsequent journey, Xu Yan would draw part of a Formation’s patterns and explain them to Ming Yu, and then Ming Yu would draw part of her own Principles and explain them to Xu Yan.

Back and forth they went, and a complete Formation had been drawn on the paper.

Xu Yan handed the Formation’s diagram to Ming Yu, while the Law Paper she had drawn, he kept for himself. He then took out two more pieces of paper and continued the exchange.

The Formation on the Array Plate was not a simple one, and considering the multitude of Formations, exchanging a mere two or three Formation patterns from the Array Plate for Ming Yu’s entire set of Principles was indeed too good a deal.

“Let’s continue, this Formation is more central and relatively more complex,” Xu Yan said, taking out two sheets of paper with a smile.

Ming Yu blinked, staring at him for a long while as if thinking something over.

“It seems I’m at a loss.”

Xu Yan’s smile was radiant, “How so, Miss Ming Yu? You’re the one who’s profited. A normal exchange would be one of my Formations for your entire set of Principles to be equal, but I’ve used three Formations for just a part of your Principles; by any measure, you’re the one who’s gained.”

Ming Yu was lost in thought.

Xu Yan took out several treasures and placed one in front of Ming Yu, saying, “Look, let me analyze this for you.”

Placing one treasure in front of Ming Yu, “Normally, if we were to exchange, I would give you one treasure and you should give me one as well, but you have only given me a part.”

He broke off a piece of the treasure in front of Ming Yu and placed it in front of himself, then placed another treasure in front of Ming Yu.

“I’ll give you another treasure, and what you give me in exchange is just a part of it.”

He broke off another piece of Ming Yu’s treasure, placing it in front of himself, and continued, “See, you’ve already gained two treasures from me, while I’ve only gotten part of one from you. Don’t you think you’ve profited?”

Ming Yu blinked, looking at the two intact treasures in front of her, while in front of Xu Yan were only incomplete pieces. It seemed she really had gained.

“Why would you let me?”

Ming Yu didn’t understand.

“Meeting is destiny, I, Xu Yan, value sincerity in friendships. I know relatively more about Formations, so it’s only right to let you have some, since we are friends, after all.”

Xu Yan spoke earnestly.

“Friends?!”

Ming Yu gave a smile, “Thank you, Xu Yan, you truly are a friend worth making!”

“So, shall we continue?”

Xu Yan said with a smile.

“Yes, let’s continue!”

Ming Yu nodded.

Then, the two of them continued the exchange.

Eventually, Xu Yan had exchanged the Principles within Ming Yu for five Formations from the Array Plate, but Xu Yan was rather taken aback to find that the Principles on Ming Yu seemed incomplete.

“Ming Yu, did you perhaps miss out on any Principles?”

“No, I have drawn all my Principles for you.”

Ming Yu lifted a hand, drew a line from her neck downwards, indicating she had drawn all her Principles completely.

Xu Yan looked towards Ming Yu’s head.

He finally understood why it was incomplete.

“What about the Principles on your head?”

Xu Yan pointed at his head.

“My head?”

Ming Yu fell into thought, “How do I draw that?”

Xu Yan was taken aback, giving directions, “You can depict it with your Divine Soul, it’s very simple.”

“Divine Soul?”

Ming Yu blinked, seeming to go into deep thought. Xu Yan saw her eyes gradually turn jade white, the dark pupils vanishing, with the silvery-white radiance lingering in her eyes.

“What’s going on?”

Xu Yan felt a surge of alarm inside him; Ming Yu seemed to have fallen into some state of confusion, and he didn’t understand why the Divine Soul caused such a condition.

“Something’s not right!”

Xu Yan frowned, the Minor Heavenly Eye deployed, but what he saw in his eyes remained a flawless radiance, and he could not discern the root cause.

“Ming Yu?”

Xu Yan called out.

Ming Yu seemed to have her thoughts stuck again, taking quite a while to respond. Just when Xu Yan was contemplating whether to investigate further, Ming Yu finally spoke.

“Bamboo!”

Xu Yan took out the Qing Ling Jade Bamboo and handed it to Ming Yu. The Qing Ling Jade Bamboo teemed with a vigorous vitality, and mysterious patterns emerged upon it.
