This increases the difficulty for other teams in attacking their target temples."
Not every team has an Array Master. For most teams, the array itself is enough of a hurdle to give them a headache, not to ntion the huge cost they have to pay.
At least, a sneak attack becos nearly impossible, leaving only a face-to-face confrontation.
Tan Wenbin: "Hey, while our side has reduced difficulty, other teams face increased difficulty. The combination of the two ans we've hit the jackpot this ti."
Our team's strength is a bit above standard. In five days, at the Sealing Demon Conference, our team will be in peak condition while the other teams will be in disarray.
Clicking his tongue... this feeling is quite delightful.
Li Zhiyuan: "Ah You."
"Here!"
"You'll have to work hard these few days, stay in the mountains, observe and record any movents. It's best if you can figure out a few teams' situations. Rember, do not get involved."
"Understood!"
Although the giant panda can't be watched for now, Lin Shuyou enjoys the feeling of executing a mission solo.
If Tan Wenbin's condition were normal, he would be the best choice because Zhuangzhuang can not only observe and record... but also actively integrate.
But with Tan Wenbin's situation, while it doesn't affect combat power, it's not suitable for solitary action. Lin Shuyou has Shuping, allowing for better observation, and additionally, the child within him offers reminders.
Run Sheng brought over the wheelchair, then carried Tan Wenbin on his back.
Tan Wenbin looked disdainfully at the quarter of a sweeping elder on the shoulder "next door":
"Could you wrap it in a bag? We can't just carry it back to the guesthouse like this, can we?"
Run Sheng: "The fertilizer bag is on the car, we can wrap it up once we get in the car."
Tan Wenbin: "It's hot now, the at will spoil easily. Have you thought about how to store it? Where are we going to get a small freezer for quick use?"
Run Sheng: "Put it in your room."
Tan Wenbin: "Fine."
Upon reaching the pickup, Run Sheng wrapped the piece of the elder in a fertilizer bag and affixed a Sealing Talisman on top.
By the ti they returned to the guesthouse, it was nearly dusk; the driving distance wasn't long, but the mountain road took ti.
As soon as they entered the guesthouse, they saw Wu Xin sitting on a bench by the front desk.
Seeing the mud on their boots, Wu Xin asked, "You went into the mountains?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Yeah, went for herb gathering."
After all, they're here for an internship; reporting yesterday and going mountain traveling today obviously wouldn't be appropriate.
Wu Xin was very touched and repeatedly said "thank you", then looked at Tan Wenbin being carried by Run Sheng, asking, "What happened to him?"
Tan Wenbin: "Broke a leg while gathering herbs."
Wu Xin: "I'll take you to the hospital!"
Tan Wenbin: "No need, we have a secret redy."
Wu Xin took a deep breath and nodded. He truly believed now that the people sent from above seemingly had real skills.
He didn't think anyone would joke about injuries on their body.
Then, Wu Xin pointed at the fertilizer bag on Run Sheng's shoulder: "Is this dicinal herbs?"
Run Sheng: "Yeah."
Wu Xin: "So many..."
Run Sheng: "Not much use, using it all at once."
Wu Xin: "Right, indeed, I know dicinal herbs need to be pounded and boiled. How about this, if needed next ti, I can rally people from our unit to help gather them for you all, okay?"
Li Zhiyuan: "No need. Did you bring the item?"
"Brought them." Wu Xin handed a bag to Li Zhiyuan.
Li Zhiyuan: "Pick up tomorrow noon to go to the hospital."
"Okay." Wu Xin nodded towards the outside, "Shall we have dinner together? I wasn't very welcoming yesterday."
Li Zhiyuan: "No need, I have to go through so materials."
Wu Xin: "Alright, when they're healed, I'll treat you all... in Rong City, give a good reward!"
After leaving the guesthouse and getting on his three-seater motorcycle, Wu Xin glanced to both sides, puzzled.
He felt sothing was amiss, but pinpointing it escaped him.
Forget it, better get back to the unit first.
Back in the room, Li Zhiyuan took a shower first, then sat on the bed and took out the docunts.
Not rushing to read, he first closed his eyes and re-created the scene from Seven Stars Temple in his mind.
The old lady had two regrets about him, one was the inability to give him the good things from ho, essentially making him start the journey empty-handed; the other was being unable to teach him personally.
Indeed, it was him teaching the new version of Liu's Qi Observation Technique to the old lady, but Li Zhiyuan wasn't naïve enough to think his intelligence could match a life's worth of experiences, especially given the old lady herself, is a living fossil witnessing the Dragon King's Court in its pri.
"So, is the old lady seizing this opportunity to show what the true path of Feng Shui is?"
...
The mountains were cool at night.
Lin Shuyou lay on a tree branch, popped open a can of Jianlibao, and drank under the moon.
He didn't need to look around; when the altercation began, the array movent was sufficient for him to sense.
Being here alone wasn't dull; after all, there was "soone" for company.
Lin Shuyou's eyes alternated between Shuping and normal, constantly switching while chatting with the child about childhood mories.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a strong array fluctuation arose.
Lin Shuyou imdiately pulled out a pen and notebook, slid off the tree, and quickly moved toward that direction.
Upon reaching the specific spot, Lin Shuyou hid himself promptly, activated his Shuping, and everything under the night sky was clear to him.
Even the bird unnaturally circling mid-air was captured by him, though the bird failed to notice him below.
There were five people breaking the array.
And they were efficient—the array already had an opening, and four among them swiftly charged in, leaving only one person, lagging behind leisurely.
At that ti, as if sensing sothing, the person paused, turned around, and started looking back.
Lin Shuyou saw his face and felt an emotional ripple within his Shuping vision.
Ah You had a very good temperant, radiating warmth and optimism to everyone except one person, toward whom Ah You harbored utter disdain.
That very person stood there at that mont.
"Three-eyed..."
