Lin Jiujiu ignored his mournful gaze.
Seeing that the little ones were all very interested, I felt relieved and went to attend to my own business.
After she had settled everything at home, she was ready to begin her cultivation.
This body has been nurtured, but due to its special constitution, it is necessary to conceal its secrets when beginning cultivation.
She had many array plates, but not many spirit stones.
The array plate can be used without activating it with spirit stones, just like the spirit gathering array she set up at home, but the effect will be greatly reduced. It's not that she's bragging, but the bodies that she has treated are definitely no worse than those so-called chosen ones.
She was afraid that making too much noise would attract the attention of those hiding in the shadows.
It's best not to be too flashy before she becomes powerful enough.
This is why she wanted to cooperate with Tantai Yueming to earn spirit stones.
Moreover, it's not just her who needs to cultivate now; the Lin family members also need to cultivate, so the required spirit stones will only increase.
Thinking this way, I should prepare several more of these array plates.
People in the cultivation world do not allow people from the mortal world to cultivate, and she does not want the Lin family to go to the cultivation world with her for the time being.
Therefore, when they begin their cultivation, they also need an array to provide cover.
Moreover, the little one's talent is no less than his own; he probably wouldn't be able to defeat most formations.
Thinking this, Lin Jiujiu returned to her room and plunged into her spatial storage to search for suitable materials to make array plates.
Just as she entered the upper space, Baili Chenyuan, who was drinking tea in the side room of the study downstairs, suddenly had a glint in his eyes.
Jiu Jiu's presence has vanished.
Baili Chenyuan appeared in Lin Jiujiu's room in a flash.
Just as Lin Jiujiu took out a piece of meteorite iron that had been ruined in the past from her spatial dimension, she crashed head-on into Baili Chenyuan.
Baili Chenyuan felt a little guilty when he saw Lin Jiujiu appear out of thin air, and Lin Jiujiu subconsciously narrowed her eyes and assumed a defensive posture.
How did you get here?
She originally thought that Baili Chenyuan shouldn't be the kind of person who would like to sneak into other people's rooms.
Now I realize I was mistaken.
However, Baili Chenyuan felt that Lin Jiujiu was far more mysterious than he had ever seen.
He had no idea where she had gone or how she had reappeared so quietly.
The key point is that he noticed as soon as he entered that there was no teleportation array here, nor any trace of the array being activated.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
How could he explain how he suddenly ended up in his room?
If he tells the truth, I wonder if Jiu Jiu will believe him?
Thinking this way, Baili Chenyuan said it directly.
"I was having tea in the study just now when I noticed your presence suddenly vanish. I thought...?"
Under Lin Jiujiu's teasing gaze, Baili Chenyuan found himself unable to continue speaking.
This is the mortal realm, and the Lin family has set up arrays everywhere, making it almost impossible for outsiders to sneak in unnoticed.
Besides, if he could sense that Lin Jiujiu's aura had suddenly disappeared, how could he not notice that there were other auras in the manor?
He's just worried sick, but even if I told him, Jiu Jiu probably wouldn't believe me.
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Jiujiu said it for him.
"Are you just worried and confused?"
Baili Chenyuan nodded, looking intently at her.
I've lived to a ripe old age; what haven't I seen? What's there to be ashamed of?
Lin Jiujiu stared at him intently, seeing that Baili Chenyuan's gaze was deep and he showed no intention of looking away.
Lin Jiujiu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
He didn't say anything more, but pointed to the seat opposite him and told him to sit down.
She hasn't started cultivating yet. It's not impossible for her to inscribe an array on the millennium meteorite, but it would be too strenuous.
Now that there's free labor coming to our door, why not take advantage of it?
Seeing that she wasn't angry and didn't seem to want to send him away, Baili Chenyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He lifted his robe and sat down opposite her.
"You just tore through space to leave?"
Lin Jiujiu originally thought he wouldn't ask about this, after all, everyone has their own secrets, especially cultivators, who all have some things that are considered trump cards.
These are all for saving one's life in special circumstances, so naturally, it's impossible to tell outsiders.
Some of them don't even know who their Daoist partner is.
However, Lin Jiujiu did not believe that their relationship had reached that point.
Baili Chenyuan didn't think his question was abrupt. If Lin Jiujiu wanted to talk about it, she would; if she didn't, he wouldn't press her for details.
Just when he thought Lin Jiujiu wouldn't say anything, Lin Jiujiu threw a broken array plate in front of him.
"I have drawn a formation on this, but given my current situation, it will take some effort to complete it. Once you finish it for me, I will tell you."
Baili Chenyuan glanced at it and quickly understood.
This is a grand formation that conceals the secrets of heaven. It is not difficult for him to complete, but if it were any other cultivator, they would probably feel dizzy after just a few glances and would not be able to complete it at all.
Even someone like Tantai Yueming, who had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, couldn't achieve that.
Baili Chenyuan looked at Lin Jiujiu and couldn't help but find it amusing.
He discovered his secrets himself, but wasn't this girl also aware of her own limitations?
However, Baili Chenyuan did not refuse and directly gathered his spiritual power at his fingertips to begin carving.
He also used spiritual power to smooth out the mistakes previously made on the array plate, and then continued to carve. Originally, even if someone could repair and reuse such a useless array plate, its effect would be greatly reduced.
However, it does not exist in Baili Chenyuan's possession.
In the short time it took to burn a lamp, a brand new array plate appeared in Lin Jiujiu's hand, with faint fluctuations of spiritual energy on it.
Lin Jiujiu's gaze darkened, and she sighed inwardly, realizing that she had not been wrong; this person was no ordinary cultivator.
It's even impossible that he and Tantai Yueming came from the same cultivation world.
According to the information she had, no one in that cultivation world had ascended to immortality ten thousand years ago.
The highest level is only the Mahayana stage.
However, the array plate in her hand was something she made when she was in the late Mahayana stage in a cultivation world.
This meteorite is no ordinary meteorite; it was nurtured in the icy pool for a thousand years.
If an ordinary person were to touch it, they would be corroded by the cold air, but he could easily wipe away the broken formation she had set up when she was in the Mahayana stage. His cultivation level was probably many times higher than hers at that time.
Lin Jiujiu put the engraved array plate into her spatial storage, while Baili Chenyuan continued to watch her, waiting for her to answer his questions.
But she showed no intention of speaking, and instead picked up her teacup to see the guest out.
Baili Chenyuan glanced at her with amusement.
He sighed inwardly, 'Little fox.'
Without lingering, he got up and left.
