Chapter 558: Chapter 559 About to Depart_1

"I thought you guys weren’t going to come."

Wei Dingwu, with a pair of bear paws crossed in front of his chest, said with a smile, and Mo Ling replied with a smile,

"How could we not? An event this interesting is not something we could miss. But is it true that praying will bring good fortune afterward?"

"Of course~ Although it won’t be very intense, small lucky events will happen within a day or two~"

"Really?~"

Mo Ling said with some surprise, and Feng Yuan looked at the pillars around him, constantly flowing with colored lights, and said,

"It should be true. I had sensed the Force of Fate earlier. There must be a small array here that enhances luck."

"An array... can do this?"

Guo Huai was somewhat skeptical, and Feng Yuan glanced at the crowds leaving through the wooden buildings connected by the four corridors and said,

"Why not? Although it takes a long time to accumulate energy, once the accumulation is complete, blessings can be granted on a large scale."

"Yo~ you can actually see it. I thought you’d be fooled."

Wei Dingwu turned his head, looked at Feng Yuan with a smile, and said. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan asked curiously,

"Fooled by what?"

"Thinking it’s an act of the Divine Lord~ or assuming the array can be used anytime. Several people before thought we could use the blessing array at will and harassed us for quite a while."

Feng Yuan, speechless, looked at the pillars around him and said,

"How could they be mistaken? Although it’s just a trace of the Force of Fate, the energy required to achieve this is no small amount. Without long-term accumulation, how could it be possible? And besides, I saw the Star Guidance Formation earlier."

"You mean..."

Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and said,

"No, I’m not saying it’s the Star Guidance Formation that’s accumulating energy. I’m just saying it probably works on the same principle, and the whole Yuehu Town is part of the energy storage and traction array, right?"

Wei Dingwu looked at Feng Yuan in surprise and said,

"That’s right, how did you guess?"

"No wonder the buildings are connected with corridors. Had I not noticed that slight strange flow of energy just now, I might have been kept in the dark too~"

Feng Yuan said proudly, and Hua Yiyou whispered,

"Are the corridors there to ensure energy flows to every building? But if there is damage..."

"Not all arrays require absolute completeness. Many storage and accumulation arrays allow for some loss; at most, the energy stored in the damaged parts will be lost, which won’t cause the array to collapse."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan walked to the window and glanced at Yuehu Town in the rain. The drizzle enveloped the entire town in a veil of mystery. Turning to look at Guo Huai and the others, Feng Yuan leaned back against the window frame and said,

"If I’m not mistaken, to utterly destroy this energy storage array probably requires destroying most of Yuehu Town, right?"

"About that."

Wei Dingwu nodded. Although she was somewhat surprised at how easily Feng Yuan had seen through it, she had somewhat prepared herself mentally for it. Feng Yuan’s seemingly omniscient demeanor left a deep impression on her.

Mo Ling said enviously,

"The whole town is storing energy? Then couldn’t it use the array for defense? That would be great..."

"It’s useless unless aided by a Spirit Beast; otherwise, sitting ducks would soon exhaust the Barrier’s energy."

Feng Yuan said as he stood up and looked at the pillars. He could tell that most of the arrays here were for auxiliary enhancement, but considering there was a Legendary Level Sun-Scorch Insect here, it made sense to do so.

Even though a Legendary Level could not establish a strong Barrier, defending such a small area wasn’t too difficult. After waiting a while, Wei Dingwu, looking at Feng Yuan who was still examining the pillars, said,

"Let’s go. Miss Zhuo must be getting impatient."

"Are you trying to build up a good karma with this?

Feng Yuan, after listening to Miss Zhuo’s explanation of the fortune-praying ceremony, expressed his astonishment, and Miss Zhuo said with a slight smile,

"Indeed, that’s what I was hoping for. Sometimes, maybe the bit of luck brought about by the fortune-praying ceremony is just what they need to stumble upon something that could change their lives."

"You don’t say?"

Mo Ling expressed her incredulity, and Feng Yuan glanced at Mo Ling and said,

"Why not? In fact, many people are missing just that bit of luck in their lives that could lead to a completely different future. Have you heard of latent dragons?"

"What we know are only those latent dragons that have successfully soared; many more might not even realize that they also once had such an opportunity..."

"Are you so certain those people will attribute it to their credit?"

Yao Yin said calmly as she savored her tea. Miss Zhuo smiled and replied,

"I don’t pray for everyone to remember our kindness, I just hope that when something comes up, we can have someone lend us a hand, or at least not take the opportunity to push us down..."

Mo Li sighed as he said this.

"Really..."

Perhaps because of that statement, everyone lost interest in chatting. After some aimless conversation, Wei Dingwu patted Feng Yuan on the shoulder and said,

"Let’s go, Miss Zhuo is tired. Is there anywhere you guys want to go?"

"We’ve been delayed here for a few days, we should also get ready to set off."

Mo Li said to Wei Dingwu. If it weren’t for Mo Ling wanting to participate in this blessing ritual, they would probably have set off to continue towards the seashore yesterday. Wei Dingwu thought for a moment and said,

"If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave first."

"Eh? Sister Wu, do you have something urgent to do?"

Wei Dingwu looked at Mo Ling and chuckled,

"You all can’t help with my tasks. Alright then, I’ll take my leave."

Watching Wei Dingwu hurrying away, Mo Ling spoke with a touch of loss,

"Where is she off to?"

"The female war god of Nanyu Kingdom, where else could she go? Probably to clear out those mountain bandits. Even if she knows she can’t hold them off, she has to make her stance clear. Besides, the current situation is still hard to say."

Feng Yuan explained as he glanced outside the window. By now, there weren’t many people left participating in the blessing ritual, and the sparse crowd was quickly disappearing into the curtain of rain along the corridor bridge. Mo Li sighed,

"Life is tough for everyone..."

Feng Yuan took a glance at Mo Li and said,

"At least she has a Legendary Level Telekinetic Brown Bear with her; is your Zi Mo still not at its evolutionary limit?"

"Not yet, I don’t want to rush it."

"These things aren’t up to Zi Mo; let me think, around this area..."

Feng Yuan said as he glanced at Guo Huai,

"Have you thought about getting a potion for Zi Mo?"

"Me?"

Guo Huai pointed at himself somewhat surprised and nodded as Feng Yuan added,

"If not you, then who? Making potions is too troublesome."

"But..."

"I’m worried I won’t be able to handle it... I haven’t tried with Elite Potions for a creature that’s already at Elite Level."

"What’s there to worry about? How will you know if you can do it unless you try, right?"

"I feel like something’s not right."

Guo Huai looked suspiciously at Feng Yuan, who laughed and said,

"You have the recipe, don’t you? If not, I can give it to you~"

"So why don’t you make it yourself?"

Guo Huai said somewhat discontentedly. Elite Potions’ ingredients were not as easy to come by as those he used for practice, and he was not very confident about it. Rather than wasting them, he felt it would be better to let Feng Yuan turn them all into potions. Feng Yuan glanced at Guo Huai and stated righteously,

"Can’t I be lazy?"

"I’m in no rush; you can take your time."

Mo Li smiled and patted Guo Huai on the shoulder, to which Guo Huai mustered a smile and looked at Mo Li saying,

"You really think highly of me. Elite Potions are not that simple; the ingredients themselves are rare, at the very least..."

"At least there’s a complete set of strengthening potion ingredients nearby."

"How do you know?"

Guo Huai looked at Feng Yuan with surprise. The other had not gone out on his own; he had been with them the whole time. Guo Huai couldn’t understand how Feng Yuan knew what ingredients were around. Could it be something Guo Huai had overlooked on the road? Although he hadn’t gathered any, the materials needed for Elite Potions usually triggered a notification when seen.

Guo Huai hadn’t noticed many ingredients for Elite Potions on their journey, so he didn’t believe Feng Yuan’s tall tales. Stowing away the dark ancient book, Feng Yuan said with a secretive smile,

"Guess~"

"I’m not guessing. I think you’re just tricking me."

Guo Huai was not fooled; he didn’t want to waste the materials. Although tempted, he preferred that Zi Mo became stronger rather than squandering materials on his practice.
