Ye Yang, his heart pounding with anticipation, prepared to put his newfound knowledge to the test.
He began with the Amplification Array, the first of the four basic arrays detailed in the jade stone.
He meticulously studied the diagram, tracing the intricate pathways of energy flow with his fingertip.
He paid close attention to the placement of the conduits and the core, understanding that their precise arrangement was crucial for the array's effectiveness.
He gathered his materials: a set of polished river stones, chosen for their smooth surfaces and inherent conductivity; finely ground jade dust, known for its ability to channel spiritual energy; and a small bowl of purified water, to mix the jade dust into a workable paste.
He found a quiet corner in his quarters, a space he had carefully cleansed and warded to minimize distractions.
