"Huh?" The system almost short-circuited. "What did you say?"
Bai Lan already had more than 300 array diagrams below the fifth rank in her hands. In addition, she had just received the array inheritance gift package from Daoist Star Luo. After a brief count, she had a total of 437 Formation Disk.
Four hundred and thirty-seven! It's not medicine or talismans, but Formation Disk whose value far exceeds both—several times that of both. She says she wants them all?
This is no longer normal cultivation.
"You think this is a raising simulation game? You want to collect all the animals in the collection?" The system's eyes widened.
"Or can you guess why I created a sect? Just because I'm bored? Having subordinates is for using! I don't usually keep idle people under my command." Bai Lan patted the system's shoulder with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll ascend to immortality in the future..."
"Okay, okay, no need to draw any big promises. Even if there aren't any, the system will help you make them." After saying that, the system glanced around.
His gaze finally settled on Luan Yin, who was frantically studying puppetry techniques in the distance. He chuckled and the system slowly moved closer.
Ever since Bai Lan promised him a Peak Master of Puppet Refining Peak if the opportunity arose, Luan Yin became instantly motivated and devoted himself to the art of puppet refining.
The task Bai Lan assigned to Luan Yin was to combine the Corpse Refining Sect Luan Yin's puppet refining techniques with the Li Family's ancestral art of regenerating severed arms and Life Resurgence Technique.
Several months have passed, and now Luan Yin has begun to show some signs of understanding regarding Bai Lan's request for a forging method for a Wood Element puppet capable of regenerating severed limbs.
The only problem is that Bai Lan, who looks like Demonic Cultivator, still has the bottom line of Daoist Cultivator. She forbids herself from using a cultivator's body to create puppets.
Therefore, if Luan Yin wants to continue his research, he must find materials that can replace the physical bodies of cultivators to create puppets instead of corpses.
It was like forcing a tiger to eat vegetables, making this demonic Demonic Cultivator, who was always out picking up corpses whenever he lacked a puppet, feel extremely uncomfortable!
"Little Luanzi, stop looking. True Lord has something to tell you." The system floated over and pulled Luan Yin out of his immersion in the sea of books.
Luan Yin was interrupted. He frowned and slowly raised his head. When he saw that the person who came was the system, he was not surprised.
"What is it?"
"Although True Lord is exceptionally intelligent and wise, he has lived in seclusion here for many years and doesn't know much about the current cultivation world. We need you to plan which places are rich in which kinds of fine minerals, spiritual woods, and Demon Beast materials. Come and lend a hand." The system patted the stack of array diagrams in its hand and raised its chin.
The True Lord Cannon Fodder always likes to praise himself before speaking.
But that's not it, what's important is... Luan Yin Yin's gaze slowly moved to the stack of array diagrams, and her eyes immediately lit up.
These are...
It looks like array diagrams, so many of them? If I secretly memorize a couple...
The system smiled slightly, "These are all the KPIs you need to achieve over the next year."
At this moment, Luan Yin had no idea what he was about to face.
The system has the assistance of two former Demonic Path cultivators, Luan Yin and Hong Xiao, who were once righteous cultivators.
With their perspective as Nascent Soul cultivators, these two could easily categorize the materials needed to refine these array diagrams.
Then, in accordance with the plan, the remaining fortuitous opportunity were distributed to the team members.
However, if the disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect want to go out and complete sect missions, they need to first set up a large Teleportation Array.
Forced to have their souls taken away, the disciples of Joyous Union Peak dared not complain even if they could not leave the sect for several months. For cultivators, it was just a matter of several months of secluded cultivation.
They had no objections, but Bai Lan needed them to go out and collect materials for her.
Good news! There happens to be a diagram of a large Teleportation Array array in the Daoist Star Luo's legacy.
The bad news is that this array diagram is an eighth-order array diagram, which can only be refined by Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if Bai Lan were to force his growth to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, he still wouldn't be able to refine it.
So, Bai Lan made up her mind and decided to go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to see True Lord Suiyun.
Even if her adoptive mother doesn't know how to refine Formation Disk, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is a large and powerful organization. With her status Young Pavilion Master the pavilion, she should be able to find a Nascent Soul cultivator who knows how to refine Formation Disk.
As soon as Bai Lan stepped out of the cave abode, she looked up and saw Nan Xianshi looking helpless and Qi Xiaoru with tears streaming down her face. She immediately stopped in her tracks.
"Why are you crying! I haven't said anything yet." Nan Xianshi looked flustered.
Qi Xiaoru choked back tears as she said, "I didn't cry! The tears just fell on their own!"
Nan Xianshi's eye twitched. "... Okay."
Out of the corner of her eye, Qi Xiaoru caught sight of Bai Lan emerging from the cave abode. She was first taken aback, then her voice tinged with sadness, "I..."
"No need to say anything, I can guess." Bai Lan nodded. "Please accept my condolences."
Qi Xiaoru was heartbroken. She had known this day would come and had already made preparations.
The death of cultivators is all too common. Although he was poisoned, his soul was intact, and he could still be reincarnated after death.
With that person's strength, prolonging his life in a place like the cultivation world would not be difficult.
He could easily store his soul in something, or even learn from Gongsun Lian to become Ghost Cultivator, thus adding several hundred years to his lifespan.
Thus, they lose the opportunity for reincarnation. Ghost Cultivator, once their remnant souls dissipate, cannot reincarnate.
"My brother told me to stay by your side. He said that inner disciple can keep one person with them to help manage the miscellaneous items in their cave abode dwellings..."
"I'm not in the sect most of the time, so you don't need to stay by my side. Keep this stack of talismans safe. A third-tier talisman is comparable to a blow from Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and it's enough to save a Qi Refining cultivator's life." Bai Lan casually handed Qi Xiaoru a stack of talismans.
Qi Xiaoru nodded.
"Uh, so, who is she?" Nan Xianshi looked around, puzzled.
Bai Lan's eyes lit up. "You've come at the right time! I was just about to look for you. Come, everyone, have a seat."
Pressing Nan Xianshi down on the stone bench, Bai Lan turned and gestured for Qi Xiaoru to sit down as well. Then, she set up a soundproof barrier and slowly asked, "Junior Sister Nan, do you know her?"
"I don't know him. Who is he?" Nan Xianshi asked, puzzled.
"Have you ever heard of Star Luo Peak?"
Nan Xianshi suddenly sat up straight. "I do know Star Luo Peak. When I was desperate after leaving Jade Purity Peak, I even thought of going there to seek refuge! The matter of betraying my sect caused quite a stir back then. I thought no one would want to take me as a disciple, so I thought I might as well give up on myself and go to a place without Peak Master to cultivate on my own."
"You know? That makes things easier. Actually, I have something important I need your help with." Bai Lan looked at Qi Xiaoru.
Qi Xiaoru a little nervous; she couldn't figure out what Bai Lan was planning to do.
" Qi Xiaoru is a disciple of Star Luo Peak. It's a pity that this girl came from a poor family. She has no parents and her only brother died not long ago. She is not talented and is often bullied. When I went to her house not long ago, I saw seven or eight thugs from the Evil Dragon Gang beating her up and leaving her covered in bruises. Sigh."
