Chapter 242: The True Monarch Primordial Spirit’s Attention, Qin Yu’s Pre-Battle Preparations

“Are these enough for the exchange?”

Wan Yongchang did not dare to delay. He took the Space Ring Qin Yu handed over and sent his Divine Sense inside to carefully inspect the contents. Finally, he even took out the most precious item—the Alpha-level Low Grade Blood-red War Axe—to examine it closely.

“Please wait a moment, Inspector Qin,” Wan Yongchang said, cupping his hands in respect. “There are quite a few magical treasures inside, and I need to evaluate them carefully.”

Although Qin Yu possessed excellent talent and the Treasure Pavilion was more than willing to befriend him—even offering favorable prices—the pricing and appraisal still had to follow standard procedures. This strict adherence to the rules was the very foundation of the Treasure Pavilion’s success!

About fifteen minutes later, Wan Yongchang finally collected all the items from the Space Ring with a look of sheer amazement. Most of them were Demonic Magical Treasures. While these items were a burden to Qin Yu, they were highly tradable goods for the Treasure Pavilion. As Wan Yongchang carefully appraised them, his shock grew with every passing second. Given that these treasures had ended up in Qin Yu’s hands, the fate of their original owners was glaringly obvious.

“The items exchanged for these treasures will actually leave a slight surplus,” Wan Yongchang explained. “In three to five days, everything will be delivered directly to the Qin Residence.”

“Thank you very much,” Qin Yu replied.

In truth, the list provided by the Treasure Pavilion included many other extraordinary items. One such item was a Beta-level Upper Grade Compound Formation known as the Five Elements Inverted Illusion Array. This array integrated the generation and restriction of the Five Elements, making it exceptional at trapping enemies, concealment, and slaughter.

It would be an incredibly rare and useful asset for the Insect Swarm. Unfortunately, the Grand Array was simply too expensive. If purchased with the complete set of Array Banners, it would cost even more than Alpha-level Treasures. Since Qin Yu could not afford it, he had no choice but to let it go.

With the transaction complete, Qin Yu did not waste any time. He cupped his hands in farewell, left the Treasure Pavilion, and headed straight for the County City’s Demon Suppression Bureau branch. Fifteen days was not a long time. It was a race against the clock to further enhance his own strength and that of the Insect Swarm.

However, just as Qin Yu entered the Demon Suppression Bureau and was about to head straight for the Treasure Vault, a familiar voice called out to him. He turned his head to look.

“Brother Chen?”

The man was none other than Chen Ce, the Commander of the Evil Suppression Mansion Army!

“Haha, I knew you would come to the Demon Suppression Bureau, Brother Qin. I’ve been waiting here for quite a while,” Chen Ce said. “Didn’t you want the Military Pattern Technique?

“Originally, this was a closely guarded secret of the military and could not be taught to outsiders.

“However, with Thunder Punishment Master acting as your guarantor, it’s no longer an issue.”

As Chen Ce looked at Qin Yu, his hearty demeanor was tinged with a hint of envy.

“The Military Pattern Technique?” Qin Yu’s eyes lit up. This was one of the core elements of large-scale Military Arrays. He had previously tried to exchange his Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Gu for it, but Chen Ce hadn’t dared to agree to the trade on his own.

“That’s right. This Dragon Tiger Military Pattern Technique is a combined attack amplification Secret Technique. It is mastered only by our Evil Suppression Bureau Army and the elites of the Great Wei Border Army,” Chen Ce said solemnly. “It involves Qi Blood resonance and the unification of battle intent. It is never taught lightly!”

This was a true core military secret, valued even more highly than conventional Cultivation Techniques.

“Thank you, Brother Chen!” Qin Yu said, cupping his hands. Inwardly, he was thrilled.

Although the Insect Swarm boasted massive numbers, they still fell short when facing top-tier individuals, such as the Dharma Aspect of a Myriad Phenomena Master. Only by utilizing the Battle Array Method to unite their power could he form an Insect Tide capable of annihilating enemies with minimal losses.

Take the Gold-devouring Insects, for example. The Secret Patterns on their bodies were too profound to fully comprehend in a short period of time. In contrast, the Military Pattern Technique was the unification method used by the Great Wei military. By coordinating with special Array Banners, the strength of thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers could be fused together for joint attack and defense. Since the two methods shared similar principles, this technique would undoubtedly be of great help in forming an effective Insect Tide for the Insect Swarm.

“Haha, there’s no need to thank me, Brother Qin. If you want to thank anyone, thank Thunder Punishment Master.”
