Chapter 191: The Beginning of the Great Drama
Chapter 190 – The Great Drama Begins
On this day, Li Fan received a summons from Zhang Zhiliang, asking him to come to the Strategizing Formation Hall.
After getting the position of Formation Repairer, Li Fan hadn’t done anything serious yet.
It was assumed that Zhang Zhiliang was still studying the Mountain and River Grand Formation on that recurring island before, so he hadn’t contacted Li Fan either.
This time, when he was suddenly summoned for something, Li Fan did not slow down, changed into his black and yellow Taoist robe, and lightly arrived in front of the Formation Curation Hall.
This time, with the identity of the system, when he entered the central core area, the seven-colored Falling Immortal Formation above his head directly ignored Li Fan.
After walking into the slanting square building, the small square body seemed to recognize Li Fan’s identity and operated automatically.
A moment later, it brought Li Fan to the space where Zhang Zhiliang was.
This place was really extremely familiar to Li Fan. In his eleventh life, it was here that he had studied formations for a few years without sleep, food or distraction, so that he had formally stepped into the Dao of Formations.
Looking ahead, Zhang Zhiliang was standing motionless with his back to him.
“Greetings senior.” Li Fan uttered a salute.
Zhang Zhiliang remained motionless as if he did not hear it.
Seeing this, Li Fan repeated the shout.
As if there was a long delay, after a long time, Zhang Zhiliang turned around.
“Oh …… you …… came ah.”
Li Fan instantly saw that the figure in front of him should also be a bilocation type of existence.
However, he still asked, “Senior’s Mountain and River Formation research is over?”
After a while, Zhang Zhiliang’s intermittent voice sounded.
“Not yet. The Mountain River Grand Formation …… research is at a critical juncture ……”
“It’s more complicated than imagined …… It’s estimated that it will take another year or two before it’s finished.”
“Fellow Daoist He seems to have something to do and hurriedly left first ……”
“I also …… suddenly remembered that I haven’t taught you formation since you joined.”
“Now this …… situation, I can’t spare the time.”
“However, if you are delayed for another year or two, it is not reasonable to say.”
“Therefore, I will hand over the relevant formation dao information to you first. You will first learn it on your own.”
“If you have any doubts, wait for me to return, and then I will answer them for you one by one.”
He spoke with a lurch and froze for a long time before finishing just such a paragraph.
Zhang Zhiliang said that and handed over a storage ring.
Li Fan took the storage ring and with a sweep of his divine sense, the things inside were not unfamiliar to him.
Encrypted Jade Slip, Heart Ape Spice.
“You previously relied entirely on self study, and you were able to get started with formations, so I think your natural talent …… is not that bad. The encrypted jade slip within this storage ring is a summary of the introduction to the Dao of Formation that I carefully compiled. You study it carefully and corroborate it with what you have learned. After reading through it, I think …… the level of formation will have a great improvement.”
After the last sentence was explained, the figure of Zhang Zhiliang was in no sound.
Li Fan put away his storage ring and returned to the Tian Xuan Mirror.
Taking out the encrypted jade slip and reading it carefully, he found that it was similar to what Zhang Zhiliang had taught in his previous life.
It was just that there were many more examples of formations.
For example, today’s Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s Island Protection Formation: the [Heavenly Yuan Transformation Formation].
Unlike the Miles of Mountains and Rivers Formation of 3,000 years ago, which emphasized defense, today’s Tianyuan Harmonization Formation emphasizes both offense and defense, and also draws in the essence of the mortals within the formation to increase the concentration of aura.
Although there is no core structural data of the Tianyuan Harmonization Formation within the jade brief, there are still some structural diagrams of the formation’s easily damaged nodes.
From the minutiae, Li Fan was able to see the immensity and subtlety of the Tian Yuan Harmonization Formation.
In the jade brief, Zhang Zhiliang also did not forget to give some instructions.
The content of this grand formation is an absolute secret of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and must not be leaked out. In addition to the Heavenly Yuan Transformation Formation, there are also the [Greenwood Spirit Gathering Formation], [Lingxiao Five Thunder Formation], and many other formations that have never been analyzed before, which is an eye-opening experience for Li Fan.
However, these formations were profound and extremely complicated, so Li Fan merely skimmed through them without looking deeply into them.
Because, right now, he still had things to do.
Putting the jade slip down, Li Fan checked the price of the Spirit Mist Grass up.
Previously, when he heard Zhang Zhiliang say that He Zhenghao couldn’t even study the Mountain River Formation and left in a hurry, Li Fan guessed that it should be because the Spirit Mist Grass Island had been attacked by the beast Dragon Whale.
Counting the time, it should be almost time.
As expected, the price of Spirit Mist Grass had risen slightly not long ago.
From 18 points of contribution per plant, it rose to 19 points.
Li Fan currently had a stock of 2,700 plants on hand and was in no hurry to make a move at this moment.
After all, there was still some time before the news spread, the incident fermented, and the price of Spirit Mist Grass skyrocketed to 25 points.
“A price of 25 points is still too low. Perhaps, one can fan the flames again ……”
“It’s just that for this matter, it’s not appropriate for this father to step forward. It’s time to utilize the bilocation.”
Li Fan’s gaze flickered.
The doppelganger that had been on the Ten Thousand Immortals Island, silently doing some errand tasks and barely maintaining what he needed to survive, inspired a Hidden Shape Talisman, concealed his breath and appearance, and came to the Thousand Miles Hall.
There was not a single customer in front of the store.
Jiao Xiuyuan was lazily lying behind the counter, resting with his eyes closed.
As soon as Li Fan stepped in, Jiao Xiuyuan jumped up, his face attentive: “Finally a customer, what do you want to order?”
“Formation talismans, magic weapons and elixirs, everything is available, large quantities are favorable!”
Li Fan smiled, “I heard that you, Daoist Jiao, have quite a few defective Hidden Shape Talismans eliminated from the Talisman Hall in your hands?”
Jiao Xiuyuan said with a playful smile, “There are quite a few Hidden Shape Talismans, but it’s not convenient to disclose where I got them from. How many do you want, fellow Daoist?”
“How many do you want? I would like to buy all the Hidden Shape Talismans in the hands of fellow Daoist ……” Li Fan said halfway through his sentence, only to see Jiao Xiuyuan’s face showing ecstasy.
“But I’m strapped for cash and don’t have so many contribution degrees!” He sighed and turned his words around.
Jiao Xiu Yuan’s face darkened and his tone was unkind: “You guy, are you not amusing me?”
However, he turned to frown, somewhat puzzled, “What do you need so many Hidden Shape Talismans for, this is something that it’s enough to always have some on hand.”
Li Fan smiled slightly, “That’s the reason why I came to find fellow Daoist this time.”
Looking at Jiao Xiuyuan coming to be interested, Li Fan, however, temporarily sold a secret and closed his mouth.
Jiao Xiuyuan sneered, “Still whetting my appetite? Who knows if what you are saying is true or false?”
“If you don’t want to say, forget it!”
Li Fan wasn’t angry, but smiled and straightened his fist, “In that case, then I’m sorry to bother you!”
Then without a hint of hesitation, he turned around and left.
While walking, he sighed, “It is said that Jiao Xiuyuan of the Thousand Miles Hall never does a losing deal.”
“I thought how marvelous business sense is, but I didn’t realize that it’s nothing more than that.”
Li Fan shook his head, and one foot had already stepped out of the gate of Thousand Miles Hall.
“Wait!”
Right at this moment, Jiao Xiuyuan called out to him.
Enthusiastically, he pulled Li Fan back and closed the store door.
Jiao Xiuyuan rubbed his hands together, “Although I know that You made it a provocation, I still willingly fell for the trick.”
A hint of greed appeared in his eyes, “Because, I smell the flavor of business opportunities.”
