A Little Display of Skill
[Random Quest: Show Off Your Skills.]
[Task objective: Demonstrate your skill or that of your disciple in the matter of the teleportation array.]
[Task Restriction: Must be completed by yourself or your disciple.]
[Task Rewards: Awarded based on task completion results.]
"This kind of mission?"
Lu Changzhi said softly, as if thinking of something, and then said:
"Trying to show off will get you struck by lightning."
He vaguely remembered that a choice to be struck by lightning had appeared before him.
Now, the task is asking him to show off his skills.
"Owner."
At this moment, the system voice sounded:
"Xiao Lu isn't pretending."
Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Xiao Jiao's voice came from outside:
"VIP Lu, the Pavilion Master asked me to convey to you that the teleportation array is ready to be constructed."
"Knew."
In response, Lu Changzhi got up and went outside to find Mu Fan.
"Let's go, the teleportation array project has begun."
After a brief pause, Lu Changzhi greeted the speaker and then said:
"How are the preparations going? If possible, show them what you've got during the observation later."
Since both he and his disciple could complete it, he would assign it to Mu Fan first.
"Show me your skills?"
Mu Fan's expression shifted, and he looked over, saying:
"Master, doesn't the sect's ancestral precept state that we should not reveal our true strength?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled slightly:
"It depends on the situation. If it's revealed appropriately, it can be in line with the sect's ancestral precepts."
Mu Fan nodded. "Then I'll try it out and see if I can manage to show it."
After a brief exchange, Xiao Jiao led the two towards the location where the teleportation array was being constructed.
The matter of the teleportation array is now common knowledge in the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
At this moment, countless elders and disciples were gathered nearby, all looking with curiosity and anticipation at the agreed location of the teleportation array.
"What a pity, I can't even take a look at how the teleportation array was made, otherwise I might have been able to understand some of it." Someone shook their head slightly, looking regretful.
"You may not be the best-looking guy, but your ideas are pretty good." Someone glanced at him with a smile.
"Even the Holy Lord isn't qualified to observe something as important as a teleportation array, let alone us. Besides, even if you did see it, with your aptitude, you'd probably have a hard time understanding it."
"I wonder when the teleportation array will be completed. I've only ever heard about it all these years, but now I'll finally be able to experience it for myself."
Out of curiosity or anticipation, a group of people stood outside, their heads thronging the area.
"Master Sun, Mr. Chen."
Stepping into the formation, Lu Changzhi greeted the two people and then looked inside.
This place is not small in area, and it is located relatively close to the spiritual vein.
Besides Sun Yi and Chen Kun, many other people from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion were busy with matters related to the teleportation array.
Building a teleportation array is no small matter; it requires a great deal of investment.
"Is this the disciple you mentioned earlier?"
Sun Yi glanced at Mu Fan.
Although I still couldn't sense his specific level of cultivation, his demeanor and temperament were clearly different from Xiao Ye's earlier.
In contrast, Mu Fan gives off more of the air of a leisurely and carefree young master.
Sun Yi had a gut feeling.
The disciple before me is probably not someone who practices diligently and earnestly.
Of course, despite his feelings, he did not express them publicly.
What happens to his disciples is Lu Yuan's son's business and has little to do with him.
However, the income from observing this teleportation array might be limited.
In fact, not only Kong Yi, but Chen Kun also had similar feelings.
The sense of leisure that Mu Fan exuded was not something that could be deliberately faked; it came from within.
This actually contradicts his experience in practicing Dao of Formations.
The Dao of Formations formation is difficult to learn, and setting up a teleportation array is even more difficult, requiring countless efforts and time, and only through diligence can one achieve results.
Judging from the boy's current demeanor...
Hmm, that's a bit risky.
However, Chen Kun didn't seem to care too much about it.
This matter was merely a formality. It's unrealistic to expect to learn about formations and restrictions, especially teleportation arrays, simply by observing how others construct them.
There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
Moreover, the other party is Lu Yuan's son.
Lu Yuan was known for his warlike nature and body refinement back then, and there was no record of him ever having any contact with array restrictions.
His son was likely the same, and so were his disciples—they were generally not skilled in array formations.
Lu Changzhi was unaware of their thoughts.
Otherwise, he would probably know where this random task came from.
After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Changzhi led Mu Fan to the prepared seats.
After that, Kong Yi and the rest of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion members began to get busy.
The construction of the entire teleportation array was by no means an easy task. From the construction of the array base to the main body of the array, as well as the support of power, plus the various things used to stabilize the teleportation, it was an extremely complex project.
Aside from a few exceptionally powerful Dao of Formations masters, the construction of most teleportation arrays requires an immense amount of effort. Therefore, even major powers do not construct teleportation arrays arbitrarily.
After observing for a moment, Lu Changzhi had to admit that Chen Kun was indeed quite the master when it came to the formation. Every move he made was just right, and the power was constantly being drawn and outlined to gradually build up the formation.
Beside him, Mu Fan held a yellow gourd in one hand and occasionally put the other hand to his mouth.
In a short time, one can see a slightly darker-colored, round, egg-like object being stuffed into its mouth.
They ate while drinking.
This action surprised Sun Yi, who was watching from another location.
This doesn't seem like they're here to observe and learn; it looks more like they're here to watch the spectacle.
"Perhaps there's something special about what he eats and drinks."
Sun Yi thought to himself that this was probably the most appropriate explanation.
Suddenly, a surge of energy emanated from Mu Fan's body.
Sun Yi's expression suddenly froze, and he quickly looked over. Then, an incredulous look flashed in his eyes:
"Is this... Sudden Enlightenment?"
One minute they're enjoying food and drinks, and the next, they suddenly Sudden Enlightenment...
"Could it be...?"
As if remembering something, Sun Yi's attention fell on the gourd.
There are similar situations in the world where, while eating and drinking, one suddenly has a feeling and then Sudden Enlightenment.
But it's often related to what we eat and drink.
And when it comes to drinking, there is one thing in the world that is extremely famous.
Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves!
It is said that the tea it brews can enhance one's enlightenment after drinking it, especially when comprehending the great principles of heaven and earth, and is closely related to the concept of Sudden Enlightenment.
"It shouldn't be; perhaps it's just a coincidence."
Sun Yi shook his head inwardly, dismissing the idea of Dao Comprehension Tea.
Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves is extremely rare and valuable; how could it possibly appear in a place like Land of the Four Directions, let alone be used for such a trivial matter?
"If this Sudden Enlightenment arose from this teleportation array, perhaps there is something to be gained from it?"
Putting aside his thoughts, Sun Yi felt a surge of curiosity.
