Lu Yu input Spiritual Qi into the array diagram on the paper, allowing the Spiritual Qi to follow the paths depicted on the array. For this, Lu Yu specifically used an Earth Spirit Pearl, as the Spiritual Qi within it was much easier to control than his own.
Once the Spiritual Qi completed a circuit around the array diagram, it started to glow and the array patterns flashed briefly before all the lines disappeared. A closer inspection revealed that these lines had merged within the paper itself.
"?" Lu Yu stared blankly at the paper in his hand, not feeling any effect.
"Could it have failed? It shouldn't be! According to the Basic Principles of Array Magic, I clearly activated the array. Why is there no effect?" Lu Yu flipped through the paper in his hand, unable to find any peculiarities after the activation of the array.
"Damn it! Absorbing so much of my blood, yet it's completely useless." In a fit of rage, Lu Yu tore the paper apart.
"..."
