EBE Chapter 4848 Provocation
Chapter 4848 Provocation
On the last day, Liu Wuxie struggled to walk, sweat beading on his body with every step, his spirit rapidly fading.
"Master, your soul can't hold on much longer. You need to rest, otherwise, your soul sea will be left with indelible scars."
Su Niang was so anxious she was about to cry. She had tried to persuade him several times in the past few days, but to no avail.
Since Liu Wuxie had promised Ren Yiluo, he would definitely keep his promise.
Ren Xiao, standing to the side, was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. How could he not see that Liu Wuxie was already at his limit? If he couldn't hold on until the end, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Liu Wuxie gritted his teeth and secretly activated the Primordial Refining God Technique. Endless soul power surged in from all directions, filling his soul sea and gradually giving his originally depleted main god a new lease on life.
Another hour passed, and Liu Wuxie formed hand seals at an extremely fast speed, with thousands of array patterns surging into the array's core at the same time.
"Click-click-click!"
The array's central core emitted a series of clicking sounds, indicating that it had finally been successfully activated.
"It's done!"
Liu Wuxie wiped the sweat from his forehead; his body swayed precariously, as if he could collapse at any moment.
It was exactly five days, just as he had guessed. Without the Blood Eyes to see through the essence of things, he probably wouldn't have been able to persevere.
"Young Master Liu, are you alright?"
Upon seeing Liu Wuxie swaying precariously, Ren Xiao immediately stepped forward to support him.
"I've written down in detail how to control the formation here. The rest is up to you. I need to rest!"
Liu Wuxie took out a detailed diagram of the formation, which showed how to control and activate the formation.
The moment he handed over the array diagram, Liu Wuxie's vision went black and he fainted. His soul was severely depleted and it would take a long time to recover.
"Young Master Liu, are you alright?"
Ren Xiao quickly picked up Liu Wuxie and rushed towards the main hall.
Upon learning that Young Master Liu was unconscious, Ren Yiluo was shocked and rushed out of the house, just in time to see Ren Xiao carrying Liu Wuxie straight to the third floor.
"Quickly, take him back to the house!"
Ren Yiluo immediately gave the order, and Ren Xiao took Liu Wuxie back to the house. Ren Zhuofeng followed quietly behind, wanting to know who it was that could make his daughter risk her life.
"Father, please take a look and see what's wrong with Young Master Liu?"
Ren Yiluo's gaze fell on her father.
Ren Zhuofeng walked to the bedside and used his divine sense to examine Liu Wuxie's body, quickly finding the reason for his unconsciousness.
"His soul power is severely depleted, and his soul sea is temporarily closed. He will naturally wake up after resting for a few days."
After Ren Zhuofeng finished speaking, he fed Liu Wuxie a pill to repair her soul and prevent it from being damaged.
"Someone come here!"
Ren Yilu gave a shout, and two people immediately emerged from the shadows.
"From now on, you two will guard outside Young Master Liu's door and no one is allowed to enter. If Young Master Liu wakes up, tell me immediately."
Ren Yiluo immediately gave the order.
"Yes!"
The two powerful figures nodded quickly and stood guard outside Liu Wuxie's door.
Ren Yiluo, Ren Zhuofeng, and Ren Xiao returned to the council hall and took their seats.
"Master, Miss, this is a detailed diagram of the formation. It shows how to control it and how to operate it."
Ren Xiao respectfully handed the detailed diagram of the formation that Liu Wuxie had given him to Ren Zhuofeng.
Ren Zhuofeng took the detailed diagram of the formation from Ren Xiao, unfolded it, glanced at it, and immediately stood up excitedly.
"Father, is there a problem?"
Ren Yiluo quickly walked over and asked nervously.
She has staked everything on this; if anything goes wrong, Longyan Pavilion will be closing down soon.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"
Ren Zhuofeng didn't hear what his daughter was saying at all. He was completely absorbed in the array diagram and was deeply shocked by the markings and detailed annotations.
The three people present were all masters of formations, and they could tell at a glance that the detailed diagram of this formation was drawn with exquisite skill, and every formation pattern was perfectly formed.
Ren Yiluo's gaze fell on the detailed array diagram, and he was equally attracted by everything inside.
"What a marvelous arrangement! He actually managed to add more than thirty large arrays to the original structure, which not only reduced the consumption of the array's central core but also more than doubled the quality of the array. How did he manage to do that?"
Ren Yiluo's mouth gaped open, her face filled with disbelief.
In just five days, Liu Wuxie created an impossible miracle on his own.
“Daughter, you’ve struck gold. You must befriend this man and never make enemies with him. Whatever his request, do everything you can to fulfill it.”
Ren Zhuofeng's attitude towards Liu Wuxie took a complete 180-degree turn, and he couldn't wait to have a conversation with Liu Wuxie right now.
Upon hearing her father make any request, Ren Yiluo couldn't help but blush.
"Father, tomorrow is the day Longyan Pavilion reopens. There's no guarantee that someone won't come to question us. There are still many things to arrange, so I can't stay with you."
Ren Yiluo finally felt relieved. Now that the formation was complete, she just had to wait for it to be activated tomorrow. To prevent any troublemakers from causing trouble, she needed to make preparations in advance.
"Go ahead and get busy. The few people transferred from the family are at your disposal!"
Ren Zhuofeng and Ren Xiao were still studying formations, so Ren Yiluo was told to hurry up and not disturb them.
Looking at the two engrossed in their conversation, Ren Yilu shook her head helplessly and left the council hall.
Inside the house!
Liu Wuxie's consciousness was hazy. At the last moment, Su Niang closed the sea of souls to prevent the soul power from leaking out, thus avoiding cracks in the sea of souls.
The pill that Ren Zhuofeng fed to Liu Wuxie quickly flowed into his soul sea, gradually reviving the depleted soul sea.
Early the next morning!
The area outside Longyan Pavilion was packed with people, completely blocking the street. Cultivators who arrived late couldn't squeeze in at all.
Most of the cultivators had been waiting here since last night, hoping that the Dragon Smoke Pavilion would open so they could go in and find out what was going on.
As the gates of the Dragon Smoke Pavilion slowly opened, the cultivators guarding the perimeter rushed in, nearly causing a stampede.
Fortunately, Longyan Pavilion had made preparations in advance, clearing the passageway so that people could enter from the right and exit from the left, thus separating the flow of people in advance and avoiding collisions when entering and exiting.
Everyone at Longyan Pavilion got busy. The receptionists were already fully prepared and handled everything in an orderly manner, no matter what the cultivators asked or what they needed to do.
"Is it really as the notice says? The quality of the training rooms in Longyan Pavilion has been improved by 30% compared to before, and the time flow rate is 1:2, one day outside is equivalent to two days inside."
The cultivators who entered were still uneasy and asked questions.
"We, Longyan Pavilion, solemnly promise that if the effects stated in the notice are not achieved, we will compensate you tenfold!"
Ren Yiluo stood on high ground, her clear and cold voice echoing in every corner.
Upon hearing about the tenfold compensation, no one hesitated any longer. There were only five thousand cultivation rooms in total, but tens of thousands of people had come today, so it was first-come, first-served.
"Give me a top-tier training room!"
"Give me a Class B training room!"
The best-selling items were still the Class A and Class B, which were all pre-ordered in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, keeping the front desk staff extremely busy.
Those who couldn't get the Class A or Class B cultivators could only choose Class C and Class D. They were just here to test it out, and the cultivation room was irrelevant to them.
"Everyone, the training rooms are fully booked for today. We can accept advance reservations, and we will notify you as soon as a training room becomes available."
In less than half an hour, all five thousand cultivation rooms were filled. The cultivators who couldn't get a room were so angry that they didn't want to leave.
"Don't rush to make reservations. It's still unclear whether it's true or not. Let's wait until the first batch of people comes out before making any decisions. Anyway, it won't make a difference if we wait a day or two."
Someone immediately stood up, their tone full of disdain.
Ren Yiluo's gaze fell on the man's face, and he immediately recognized him as a steward of Changyun Pavilion.
“That’s right. We have no way of verifying whether it’s true or not. We’ll wait until the first batch of cultivators comes out before we can say anything.”
The surrounding cultivators echoed this sentiment, still maintaining a skeptical attitude towards the content posted on the Dragon Smoke Pavilion notice.
"Ong!"
Outside the Dragon Smoke Pavilion, a commotion arose. The crowd parted on its own, and a young man walked in front, followed by several elderly men and a few attendants carrying flower baskets, but the flowers on the baskets were all wilted.
"It's the Third Young Master of Changyun Pavilion!"
A gasp rippled through the crowd. They hadn't expected the people from Changyun Pavilion to be here today. Everyone quickly made way, not daring to offend the third young master of Changyun Pavilion.
"Miss Ren, today is the reopening of Longyan Pavilion. On behalf of Changyun Pavilion, I congratulate you. May Longyan Pavilion prosper and make a fortune every day. This is my congratulatory gift. I hope you will accept it with pleasure."
After Changhe stepped into the main hall, his gaze fell on Ren Yiluo's face, and he said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, the servants behind him quickly presented the flower basket.
"Who sent chrysanthemums for the opening ceremony? The third young master of Changyun Pavilion has clearly come to slap us in the face."
Looking at the chrysanthemums, Ren Yiluo's face turned ashen. She never expected that Changyun Pavilion would dare to openly provoke her.
"I am very happy that Changyun Pavilion could come. Let's keep the gifts for Changyun Pavilion. I believe they will need them soon."
Today is the opening day. Ren Yiluo had a faint smile on her face, but her tone was extremely cold.
"We've heard that Miss Ren has recruited a master of formations. Would you be so kind as to introduce us to this master?"
Changhe stared at Ren Yilu with a smile. After their investigation over the past few days, they were quite certain that the young man was the one who set up the formation.
They went to the city lord's mansion to investigate. Master Tuoba announced his seclusion last month. They heard that he was studying some kind of profound array technique and it was impossible for him to come out of seclusion to set up an array for the Dragon Smoke Pavilion.
"If you came to offer your congratulations, your purpose has been achieved, and you may leave now. If you came to cultivate, you can reserve a cultivation room in advance. Our Dragon Smoke Pavilion welcomes you wholeheartedly. If you have other purposes, our Dragon Smoke Pavilion will accompany you to the end."
The atmosphere on the field immediately became tense, filled with a strong sense of tension.
Third floor!
After a night of repair, the soul sea gradually recovered, and consciousness became clear, but the whole body ached.
"Master, you have finally awakened!"
Su Niang's voice rang in Liu Wuxie's ears, her tone full of worry.
"How long have I slept?"
Liu Wuxie rubbed his head, feeling dizzy and his soul not fully recovered. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began cultivating the Primordial Spirit Refining Technique.
