"Don't Go Away, the Best Part's Coming Right Up."

"How's that fireworks thing you mentioned last time coming along?"

Lu Changzhi cut to the chase and asked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan shook his head:

"There are quite a few things to get involved in, and I've already asked Peak Master Xu to help me think of solutions."

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi's expression was strange.

This is just like the system.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and asked:

"So it hasn't been implemented yet?"

Mu Fan nodded. "If some fundamental things aren't resolved, there's no way to move forward."

As he spoke, Mu Fan's expression shifted:

"Is Master planning to bomb someone again?"

The last time I checked the progress was when we were going to bomb the Devil Race.

"Almost."

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:

"I'd also like to see how much the power of what you've done has increased over this period of time."

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan understood.

I guess he doesn't really intend to rely on these little gadgets he made; he's probably just interested in them more.

However, even a powerful figure like the Master is interested in things that interest him.

This undoubtedly proves one thing.

My idea has great potential!

"This will probably take some time to prepare. When does Master plan to do it?" Mu Fan asked.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment:

"About seven days."

Even after deducting travel time, the time is still quite limited.

"That's probably not going to work." Mu Fan looked troubled.

"I just finished one recently, and I don't have much inventory left."

"One is finished?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a flash of light appeared.

A long, thick, milky-white pillar, as thick as ten people could hug, fell to the ground.

The pillars are carved with many seemingly mysterious, but actually random, patterns.

On opposite sides of the pillar, there is a line of huge red characters:

"Look, what's this?"

The red text is arranged vertically, and at the very bottom, there is a row of arrows that get smaller and point downwards.

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi followed the arrow.

The arrow points to a formation that blocks divine sense from probing, but it is close enough to be seen with the naked eye.

It's still just one line of text, but it occupies a very small amount of space.

"Don't go away, the exciting part is coming soon."

Upon seeing this and considering its purpose, Lu Changzhi suddenly realized something.

To be honest, this really puts the saying "curiosity killed the cat" to life.

If we don't get far away quickly...

There's absolutely no need to overthink what exactly constitutes "wonderful."

Whoever gets close is the one who shines in the eyes of others.

"Good."

Lu Changzhi nodded in satisfaction:

"This idea is worth developing."

Upon hearing this, a smug look appeared on Mu Fan's face.

Then, he began to explain the specific details of this particular item to Lu Changzhi.

This one, too, has its own name.

Iron Tree.

Upon hearing this name, Lu Changzhi subconsciously thought of the word "flowering".

Sure enough, listen to Mu Fan's subsequent introduction.

The Iron Tree is divided into two layers, inner and outer. The inner layer is filled with the highest-grade Explosive Flame Talisman that Mu Fan can currently draw, filling it to the brim and providing ample quantity.

The outer layer consists of triangular shapes forged from a large number of different metals, with sharp tips and varying sizes.

The effect after activation is not just the impact of force; these triangular bodies will also bear the responsibility of attack.

"The Iron Tree is currently the largest and has received the most investment."

Mu Fan became increasingly smug as he spoke, but then he abruptly changed the subject, saying:

"However, if Master wants to dig the ground like last time, the Iron Tree still won't be able to handle it."

After a pause, Mu Fan added:

"Moreover, the Iron Tree was made for my junior brother."

"Xiao Ye?" Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

Mu Fan nodded, Lu Changzhi asked curiously:

"What made you think of making this for Xiao Ye?"

Mu Fan did not answer, but asked:

"Master, does Junior Brother Xiao have Lineage?"

Seeing Lu Changzhi nod, he continued to ask:

"Does his Lineage have some deep-seated blood feud with other Lineage, or was Xiao Ye humiliated by a powerful figure or woman before he was taken in?"

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"There is indeed a rival Lineage, but why would you guess that?"

His intuition told him that Mu Fan probably also knew the story of the poor boy who was moving and the old man who played with fire.

"I guessed pretty much right."

Mu Fan said softly, then continued:

"Since Junior Brother Xiao arrived, no one on the entire Hidden Origin Peak has worked as hard as him. Without a deep-seated blood feud, he wouldn't have such motivation."

As he spoke, Mu Fan changed the subject, gesturing to the Iron Tree beside him:

"Since there's trouble here, as the senior student, I naturally have to offer my help."

"I just don't know if the Iron Tree can have any impact on Junior Brother Xiao's rival Lineage."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi fell silent for a moment.

Think about the situation at the Blood Devil Pool last time, then consider the state of the Ma Clan, and the size difference between the Iron Tree and the Fatty.

In an instant, Lu Changzhi felt rays of Buddhist light emanating from Mu Fan's body.

On the road to salvation, Mu Fan took a solid step.

If the Iron Tree were blown up by the Ma Clan, Lu Changzhi estimated that the name "Ma Clan" would probably become a prefix.

Ma Clan Plain.

Upon realizing this, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

He suddenly realized the importance of "harmony is paramount".

It wasn't out of a sudden burst of kindness.

The main point is that if there is discord, such expensive means must be used to help restore peace.

It's truly heartbreaking.

Following this line of thought, Lu Changzhi quickly came up with a solution.

Stock up on plenty of powerful trump cards; as long as you have enough, you won't feel bad using them.

As Lu Changzhi was thinking, Mu Fan noticed that Lu Changzhi was shaking his head, took a deep breath, and was secretly alarmed.

"Hiss, it seems Junior Brother's enemies are no ordinary people. Even Master thinks the power isn't enough?"

"As expected, it's not easy to protect Junior Brother Xiao!"

After a moment of silence, Lu Changzhi came to his senses and said:

"Since it was prepared for Xiao Ye, then we won't use it."

"We'll find a suitable opportunity later."

Then, Lu Changzhi got up and walked outside.

The task of engaging in conversation has also been completed.

The experience reward is not much, only 250 points.

The item reward, however, turned out to be a Saint Rank Low Grade pill.

It's not for treating illness or injury, but for disguise. After ingesting it, one can change their original aura, voice, and appearance, maintaining this state for a day.

Lu Changzhi was quite satisfied with this.

Although it cannot be used to disguise a specific target, it might come in handy later.

It was a pleasant surprise.

Upon returning to Hidden Origin Peak, Xiao Ye unexpectedly sought him out shortly afterward.

Looking up at the nearly midday sun, Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised.

Normally, it would be very difficult to find Xiao Ye on Hidden Origin Peak at this time.

"But what's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Ye approach, Lu Changzhi asked.

"Master."

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then said:

"This disciple plans to go home in the next couple of days."
