How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Array Formation to Create the Miao Realm

A grapevine may be insignificant to a young lady of noble birth, but for Li Xueyi, it was a matter of great importance.

Growing a fruit tree from the outside world in the underground was exceptionally difficult.

There’s simply no space for it to survive.

Even with space, without sunlight, it couldn’t possibly live.

Yet, this grapevine was an exception, bought at a high price from a Li Tian clan member who came from the outside, carefully nurtured, and it surprisingly thrived.

However, during her absence, the wind changed direction in her garden, and out of seven grapevines, six died.

This was a heavy blow.

This feeling is something those enjoying the grapes beneath the clear moonlit skies outside could never empathize with.

In the northwest corner, there stood a small garden.

Initially, the garden had some flowers, but now they were all withered.

Originally there were seven grapevines, six died, and the matured grapes turned directly into raisins hanging on the vine.

One vine still had a touch of green.

Just a tiny bit.

Li Xueyi felt deeply saddened; these flowers, grasses, and trees cost her significant effort.

Originally, she didn’t have the leisure for this; it stemmed from her mother’s advice. Her mother told her: A woman should behave like a woman. Fighting and being insensitive and wild isn’t a woman’s demeanor, and no man would like that. Your personality is like your father’s; it would be hard to change. So you’ll have to use special means. Go and gather small animals, find some flowers and plants, and raise them in Qing Wan to polish your temperament.

Thus, collecting small animals and planting flowers and grasses became her way to temper her character.

Long ago, she raised a three-eared rabbit, furry and very cute, her mother thought so too.

But the little creature was mischievous and accidentally ran into the magma lake. By the time Jiao’er came over to retrieve it, it was already cooked.

The mistress and servant initially intended to hold a funeral for the rabbit, but it smelled too delicious, so… eventually, only the bones were buried in the soil.

Such incidents happened repeatedly; the animals she raised always met ill fates.

Her mother then gave up on raising animals, switching to plants that wouldn’t run away.

Indeed, after planting flowers and grasses, Li Xueyi visibly transformed. She actually began to love these flowers and grasses, and her temperament visibly improved. At least when she pretended, she could convincingly act like a lady.

This incident with the grapevines was unexpected.

Li Xueyi could swear to the heavens it wasn’t her who instructed Jiao’er to do it.

She liked eating meat and fruits, but she definitely didn’t enjoy eating grapevines.

Moreover, she placed great hope and expectation on these grapevines, ever since her brother sang her a couple of poetic verses, immersing her in a beautiful poetic mood.

The poem goes: Beneath the grape trellis swings hang, with the gentle moon moving shadow on the bamboo.

She planted the grapevines, made swings, and grew Earth Core bamboo, waiting for the vines to cover the garden walls.

Now, six of the seven grapevines are dead, and the remaining one is barely surviving. She’s determined to desperately try to save it.

Where should she move it to?

It seemed there was no place to accommodate it; this small garden was hotter than outside…

Because a hot wind blew from behind.

Covering the entire small garden.

Previously, the hot wind wasn’t this strong, and it blew towards the right wall. Now, the wind grew stronger and changed direction, blowing directly into the small garden.

As she hesitated, a voice came: “Miss, no need to move it. This is just an array with a breached opening; just patch up the breach, and it will be fine.”

Li Xueyi suddenly looked up.

Jiao’er also looked up in surprise.

Standing before them, right in the middle of the wind, was a handsome man, Lin Xiaosu.

“My lord… can you seal the breach in the array?” Li Xueyi asked.

“This array isn’t that profound, and the hot wind isn’t that mysterious. Actually, it’s just that an Array Base pattern has worn out. I just need to add a stroke to it!”

Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, a bronze array pen appeared, and with a stroke, he marked a large red stone before him.

The pen moved like a dragon or snake, tracing a mystical path.

Suddenly, the hot wind abruptly ceased.

Li Xueyi felt the heatwaves recede, bringing coolness to the small garden.

Her heart was in turmoil.

He was proficient in arrays!

He was an Array Master!

And an exceptionally skilled Array Master at that!

This “Four Seasons Warm Array” created at the time, took thirteen years to complete, and the entire Li Clan regarded it as an ancient strange array that changed the world.

At that time, a female elder named Li Qing, also based on this array, established her grandmaster status in the Array Path, exceptionally promoted to top elder due to her womanhood.

This was definitely not an ordinary array.

But in his words, this array wasn’t that profound!

Moreover, he wasn’t boasting; with a stretch of his hand, in less than three breaths, the broken array was directly repaired.

This Array Path, how do I feel it’s even more legendary than that legendary elder back then?

Her hand was suddenly grasped by Jiao’er.

Jiao’er’s mouth didn’t open, no sound came, but a thread of information was sent into Li Xueyi’s mind through a special vibration frequency, a unique communication method of the Li Clan, similar to “secret transmission.”

The girl told her, “Miss, I discovered a gigantic business opportunity.”

“What?”

“Young Master Su is worth 3,000 array crystal stones and 300 Second Realm experts!”

Li Xueyi glared at her fiercely, not responding with a secret transmission, but her eyes carried a sense of speechlessness…

Jiao’er continued to relay, “Think about it, Miss specially went to the meeting and was set up by those bastards, forcing our Li Clan to offer 3,000 array crystal pillars and 300 Second Realm experts. Didn’t you see the Great Elder almost pulling his beard out with worry? Now that we have Young Master Su, if he goes, we don’t have to give away those precious resources, do we?”

If the Great Elder heard these words, that old man would probably indeed be deeply moved.

But since the audience was Li Xueyi, she flipped her hand, grabbed Jiao’er’s arm, and Jiao’er immediately showed a painful expression on her face. Li Xueyi’s transmission came through with vibrations, “Going to the Abyssal is extremely risky and could result in death! If you dare to betray him, I’ll throw you into the Magma Lake for three days and nights!”

Jiao’er quickly admitted her mistake, “Miss, I was wrong, I won’t dare to scheme against him anymore, even if I’m beaten to death I won’t tell others about this…”

Thus, she let it go!

Lin Xiaosu stood in the cool world he created with his own hands, planning to seize the opportunity he personally made.

Why would he take action?

For one reason, to create a condition to go to the Abyssal.

A cluster of array masters, hundreds of races bending various resources, all thinking of breaking the Abyssal Boundary Wall.

Who dares to guarantee that this boundary wall can definitely hold?

If by chance this wall is really broken by those bastards, and the Earth Core Strange Race crosses over, then the Pandora’s box will be opened. This Earth Core Strange Race doesn’t care about this; they are eager to welcome ancestral figures, orthodox figures, core figures.

Can he, Lin Xiaosu, disregard this?

The Earth Core Strange Race of the Bridge Realm doesn’t dare stand in the sunlight, who can guarantee their ancestors, those old monsters, also don’t dare?

When Emperor Kun drew this dividing line, he must have had a reason.

This dividing line, drawn with his own ribs as the base, must be the last card standing against the Earth Core Strange Race invasion.

Lin Xiaosu wants to use a reasonable way to infiltrate the sabotage military detachment.

To give them a counter sabotage!

Todays restoration of an array is precisely for this level, he wants the Li Clan chief to discover his array path talents and send him as an array master into the Abyssal.

This business opportunity, I refuse to believe you two girls can’t see it.

Hurry up and get excited…

However, strangely enough, Jiao’er was excited, but the main subject, Li Xueyi, seemed very conflicted. What’s there to hesitate about? Three thousand array crystal pillars, three hundred Second Realm warriors, I alone can replace, what’s there to hesitate over?

Li Xueyi spoke, “Young Master, shall we go to the pavilion for tea… By the way, Jiao’er, tidy up the west courtyard. We’ll also stay here.”

Jiao’er opened her eyes wide in astonishment, “We… we’re also staying here?”

“Yes, it’s cool here, I can’t quite bear the high temperatures outside.”

She floated away, leaving Jiao’er with a face full of conflict. She wanted to retort to the Miss, “You couldn’t bear the high temperatures outside? When you used to bathe at the Magma Lake, why didn’t you say you couldn’t stand the heat? Clearly, you just can’t bear parting from this Young Master!”

Miss, wake up, this Young Master is not from around here.

He may look gentle and refined, but his eyes often move to your chest, obviously not a true gentleman. Normally, when women encounter such congenital philanderers, the most important thing is not to give them any opportunity, yet you, even without a chance, are creating one…

Oh my heavens, if you mess yourself up, Madame is sure to throw me into the Magma Lake…

Jiao’er’s stomach was full of conflict.

But conflict aside, she obeyed orders.

She could only follow orders.

Clean up the west courtyard.

Prepare the meals…

Coming to the pavilion, a cool breeze blew by, and Lin Xiaosu finally truly experienced the refreshment.

After patching up this array, the temperature dropped directly to about twenty to thirty degrees.

Now that’s the temperature humans find most comfortable.

However, he also found it a bit strange that such a temperature was the array’s initial setting.

It should have been the temperature the original array creator themselves liked most.

But this array’s creator Li Qing was a bona fide Li Clan member.

Would the temperature favored by the Li Clan people be twenty to thirty degrees?

The ordinary Li Clan members who wash clothes in the river and play water fights, seeing them having so much fun, their favorite temperature shouldn’t be sixty seventy degrees upwards?

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of the gradually cooling tea, “Miss, you’re saying this senior who created the array was a Li Clan member?”

“Yes!”

“Li Clan people acclimates to high temperatures, why would they think of building such a greenhouse?”

Li Xueyi gently smiled, “She, like me, once brought back a person from the outside world who couldn’t adapt to the Li Clan’s high temperatures, so she built this kind of Miao Realm for him.”

“That person… who was it?”

“That person was also, like you, a Li Tian Clan member who built something outside called a ‘Divine Temple’.”

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat…

Building the Divine Temple!

He finally unearthed the origin of the Divine Temple’s roots!

It was built by a Li Tian Clan member who once lived in this garden.

He is the true owner of the Divine Temple, the true leader of Utopia.
