Three years later, Yi Tian finally completed the preliminary exploration work and returned to Luoxia City. As soon as he came back, he directly went to Hong Fei's residence to report. After all, he still had to rely on the strength of the Taiqing Pavilion to complete this matter.
When he saw Hong Fei this time, he felt that he seemed to be in good spirits. Something good should have happened. After sitting down in the main hall of his residence, Yi Tian didn't hide anything. He told him everything that happened during his trip in detail.
In the end, he only hid the matter of attacking Hua Yuxin. He looked at Hong Fei and his face twitched. He then said angrily, "That guy from Qingyuan really likes to play dirty. Unfortunately, Li Chi didn't live up to expectations. He still couldn't figure it out after three years."
When Yi Tian heard this, his heart stirred. Since it was related to his competition, he naturally had to listen carefully. Later, Hong Fei also briefly explained what happened in the past three years.
Yi Tian learned that Li Chi had also tried to repair the ancient array ruins in the past three years. Unfortunately, he spent countless materials and couldn't activate the array in the end. He immediately curled his lips and smiled, "Brother Hong, don't worry. Even if Li Chi can activate the array after repairing it, it might not be able to enter Chen Haoran's eyes."
Hong Fei was excited after hearing this. He hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?"
"There's no other reason. The array materials from ten thousand years ago are slightly different from today's. Moreover, the array pattern needs to be completed in one go. What's the use of repairing it?" Yi Tian said with a smirk.
Hong Fei raised his brows and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Yi, you are an expert in all kinds of things. Tell me about it."
Yi Tian didn't hesitate to tell him what he felt when he saw the array for the first time. In fact, it was very simple. This' Seven Star Gathering Array 'was obviously arranged on a huge array base. As for the runic inscriptions on the runic inscriptions, they appeared to be extremely messy and disorderly. But after careful consideration, the runic inscriptions seemed to be a single entity. He had once seen such a method of inscribing runic inscriptions in the Lifire Palace.
Also, this grand formation should have been set up by the seniors of the Lifire Palace ten thousand years ago. If he really managed to repair it, wouldn't that attract the attention of many? Therefore, Li Chi's failure was inevitable. As for this point, it was fine as long as he knew it in his heart. There was no need to be too obvious.
In the end, Yi Tian said with a serious face, "Brother Hong, it's not that I'm not trying my best. Even if this new formation is successfully set up, it will only have sixty to seventy percent of the original effect."
"Why is that?" Hong Fei exclaimed.
"Because of the Earth Vein, the Spirit Array Ruins from ten thousand years ago must have been carefully selected. To put it bluntly, that place should be the intersection of seven large Spirit Veins." Yi Tian said solemnly.
Hong Fei suddenly understood. It wasn't a problem with Yi Tian's ability to set up the formation. Instead, it was because the grade of the Spirit Veins wasn't high enough. Now, all the large Spirit Veins in the Spiritual Realm had been occupied by large and small forces. The only ones left that could be used were the small and medium Spirit Veins.
Moreover, the choice was only within the jurisdiction of Luo Xia City. So even if they could find one, it wouldn't be easy.
After a while, Yi Tian took out a map jade slip and spread it on the table. He pointed at three marks on it and slowly explained his plan.
The three Spirit Vein Nodes that could be selected were in the east and southeast of Luo Xia City. It was just that these locations were currently ownerless. If they wanted to use them, they would have to go to the City Lord's Mansion and circle these points in advance.
Hong Fei was very clear about the procedures for this matter. Then, he didn't waste any time and directly took over the work. As for the follow-up matter of setting up the formation, it was all pushed to Yi Tian.
In addition to Hong Fei's mansion, Yi Tian went straight to the Union of Artificers. Before, Chen Haoran had said that he could directly ask for the materials and manpower needed to set up the formation.
However, when he arrived at the Union of Artificers and explained his intention to the deacons in the main hall, they didn't show any expression on their faces. However, their eyes flickered as if there was something hidden.
Yi Tian didn't want to waste any more time with them. In the end, he directly asked to see the distribution elder, Chen Haoran. The deacons knew that they couldn't refuse, so they took Yi Tian straight into the inner hall.
After a short while, after leaving the inner hall, they seemed to hear someone talking in the front courtyard. Although the voice wasn't loud, Yi Tian heard it clearly. It should be Li Chi's voice.
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched and he was secretly happy. He guessed that Li Chi still hadn't given up and was preparing to repair the formation a second time. However, he didn't know what Chen Haoran's intentions were.
After reporting, Yi Tian strode into the side hall. He glanced sideways and saw that it was Li Chi explaining the process of repairing the formation to Chen Haoran.
However, there was a young cultivator listening at the side. He was also wearing the uniform of the Union of Artificers and had a human-level badge on his chest. His cultivation level was similar to Ye Qingyu's.
Seeing Yi Tian come in, Li Chi stopped and looked at him with disdain. Then, he sat silently at the side.
As the host, Chen Haoran's eyes lit up. Then, he stood up and introduced to the young cultivator, "This is Master Yi. He previously went to explore the area where the new formation was set up. Now that he's back, we can listen to his opinion."
Yi Tian had lived for a long time, so he naturally understood the situation. As a branch elder, it was obvious that his status wasn't low for him to speak to a late artificer like this.
After cupping his hands in greeting, Yi Tian first introduced his situation. The young cultivator stood up and said, "I'm the Union of Artificers' new human-level blacksmith, Pei Yuexiao. Greetings, Master Yi."
Yi Tian was stunned. A new blacksmith could participate in this meeting. Pei Yuexiao's identity might not be simple. Furthermore, Chen Haoran valued him so much. Could it be that the Seven Star Gathering Array was for him to use? After thinking for a few years, Yi Tian didn't dare to put on airs. He directly replied, "So it's Master Pei. Please take a seat."
Chen Haoran also smiled and said, "Yes, yes. Please sit down and talk. Master Yi is back today. I'm sure he'll bring some good news. " After saying that, he glanced at Li Chi who was sitting at the side. This time, he forced a smile and bowed to Yi Tian.
Suppressing the smile on his face, Yi Tian had no choice but to swallow it back into his stomach. Then, he said to Li Chi, "I haven't seen you for three years. You seem to have lost a bit of weight. It must be very hard to repair the formation."
Li Chi's expression changed slightly before returning to normal. He replied, "It can't be as tough as Fellow Daoist Yi, who has to spend all his time in the wilderness."
Yi Tian's mouth twitched. He then turned to Chen Haoran and said, "I found an excellent place to set up a formation five thousand miles away from Luo Xia City. Now that I've returned, I want to ask Elder Chen for some materials and manpower to set up the formation."
Pei Yuexiao's face lit up. Just as he was about to say something, Chen Haoran frowned.
