Chapter 370: The competition for the ranking is fierce
"Let me oversee the construction of the core area?"
In the Jiaxu stronghold, Li Fan was slightly stunned when he saw Xue Mu and others who came to visit him suddenly.
I just thought about it and then decisively refused.
"I'm not being modest. During the assessment at Langhuan Villa, my affinity with Tianxuan Jingmian was just average."
"Fellow Daoist Xue Mu can testify for me on this point."
"I appreciate your kindness. However, my ability is limited and I cannot take on such an important task."
"Senior Jiang's level of formation is far higher than mine. He is highly respected. I can see that there is no one more suitable than him."
Li Fan said sincerely.
The Nascent Soul Formation Master named Jiang Qigui, seeing the unfriendly looks from the surrounding cultivators, quickly responded: "Daoyou Li Fan, you are joking. Your contributions are obvious to all. How dare I..."
Before he could finish, Li Fan interrupted him with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please don't misunderstand me. I mean everything I say sincerely."
"As everyone knows, the final construction process of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array requires communication with the central array hub to facilitate continuous debugging in the future."
"This is definitely not something I'm good at, and I'm not deliberately refusing."
Seeing Jiang Qigui who was somewhat hesitant, Li Fan added: "I know your concerns, Senior Jiang. The construction of the outer and inner magic arrays required a lot of effort, but the contribution was relatively small."
"As for the central core area, it doesn't actually require much effort, but the contribution it can get is relatively much greater."
"Taking over the hosting job at this time may seem like forcible gain. Are you afraid of being blamed in the future? Are you?"
Seeing that Li Fan spoke out what he was thinking without any reservation, Jiang Qigui's old face turned slightly red.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard Li Fan say, "Let everyone know that I am now half buried in the ground."
"The so-called ranking list of the competition..."
Li Fan paused, trying to calm down the slight resentment that was welling up in his heart.
He said calmly, "I don't care at all."
"My only hope is to make as many contributions as possible before I die."
"All I'm considering is the most efficient way to build the formation."
"So Brother Jiang Daoist, there is no need to refuse."
"Who else but you can take on such an important task?"
After saying that, Li Fan looked around to show his feelings.
After hearing Li Fan's heartfelt words, Jiang Qigui's face turned red.
He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Fan.
"In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse it!"
"I will definitely live up to your high expectations."
Jiang Qigui said in a deep voice.
Li Fan held his hands and said earnestly, "I will have to trouble you next."
Three days later, Huangfu Song, accompanied by two black-robed monks, arrived at the Jiaxu stronghold.
The reason they came here was because they received a message from Li Fan and others, and they sent the Tianxuan Mirror, which is the central array hub, over.
"Greetings, Senior Huangfu!" Li Fan saluted.
"You kid..." Fatty Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Well done!" Huangfu Song patted Li Fan on the shoulder and said nothing more.
He took out a broken jade talisman, turned around, and completed the splicing with the jade talismans in the hands of the two black-robed monks.
In the unfolding light curtain, countless characters flashed by like a waterfall.
An imperceptible wave emanated from the light curtain and swept across the surroundings.
It seems to be performing identity verification.
After a moment, the wave was withdrawn, and a small and exquisite bronze mirror with an ancient style appeared from the light curtain.
The characters flowed into the mirror and the light curtain disappeared without a trace.
Only the bronze mirror was left, floating in the air, emitting a clear and mysterious light around it.
Huangfu Song looked solemn and made a series of hand gestures.
He pointed outside the stronghold, at the center of the Yuan-devouring white fog.
The sea of fog emitted ripples, as if something deep in the white fog was echoing with him.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly. That should be the core area of the designed Tianxuan Soul Locking Array.
Sure enough, after a moment, a ray of green light cut through the white mist.
Heading straight towards the Jiaxu stronghold below.
There is a bronze mirror suspended in the air in the middle.
All the green light was absorbed by the bronze mirror.
The green light swirling around also slowly retracted and disappeared.
Finally, when there was no mysterious aura around the bronze mirror, it looked like an ordinary object.
Huangfu Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, took out a vermilion square wooden box from his arms, and put the bronze mirror in it.
However, when the bronze mirror entered the wooden box, the originally physical wooden box, under the gaze of everyone, first transformed into a red shadow.
Then it gathered towards the center, turned into a red light spot, flew to Huangfu Song's forehead, and settled down.
Without explaining why he had just done that, Huangfu Song said to everyone in a deep voice: "Until the central formation hub is installed, I will be in charge of it."
"Jiang Qigui, how long will this process take?"
Jiang Qigui replied without hesitation: "With the combined efforts of everyone, it can be completed within seven days."
Huangfu Song nodded slowly: "There is no time to lose. After the formation here is completed, I have to rush to other places."
After saying that, he looked at Li Fan, his expression somewhat relieved: "Thanks to Li Fan's hard work, the construction progress of your formation is already among the fastest in the group."
"As far as I know, Tianchen Province, which is currently ranked first in progress, has not yet completed the entire formation and should still be in the process of building the central core area."
"If you work harder, you might be able to overtake us..."
Just as Huangfu Song was encouraging everyone, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the conference room, from the direction where the Tianxuan Mirror was located.
"What's going on? Why did the first place score so much suddenly?"
"This has completely widened the gap with the second place!"
When these words fell into the ears of the monks present, they all looked at Huangfu Song with strange eyes.
"Heh... you're still a step slow. But you still have hope of competing for second place." Huangfu Song was very thick-skinned and said as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, let's get going without further ado," he ordered.
Just as everyone was preparing to go to the central area of the formation to complete the final work.
Another exclamation sounded, attracting the attention of Li Fan and the others.
"Huh? Look, Guo Yezhong, who has always been at the bottom of the list, has moved!"
"Indeed, although the points are pitifully few and I am still at the bottom of the list, at least I finally started working."
…
Li Fan, Xue Mu and Jiang Qigui looked at each other.
Suddenly, I felt something was a little strange.
It seems that Guo Ye Zhong obtained points at the same time as the construction of the first Tianxuan Soul Locking Formation was completed?
Is there any connection between these?
Li Fan looked at Huangfu Song, seeking an answer.
The fat man shrugged his shoulders, as if he had absolutely no idea.
