Chapter 131 - Void Solidification Array
Xie Zhao was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chu Linyuan was referring to the materials needed to build the main body of the Talisman Array Tower.
His peach blossom eyes lit up instantly, and he twirled the Jinghong Talisman Pen around his fingertips. He grinned and said, "Right, right, right! Business is more important! Iron Ox! Don't just stand there! Where's that piece of star-patterned iron you brought back yesterday? Hurry and bring it over! And those few main keels of the Red Phoenix ship! Little Sugar Bean, give us that can of Void Stardust in your warehouse, too!"
"Okay!" Tie Niu responded in a muffled voice, and his huge body immediately moved towards the place where materials were piled in the corner of the square.
Chu Linyuan said nothing more and walked towards the tower's base. His steps were steady, the scar on his left arm faintly visible beneath his dark robes. He stopped at the platform reserved for the tower's base. He didn't draw his Immortal-Slaying Spear, but extended his right hand, palm facing downward, pressing lightly against the cold surface of the meteorite.
The base of the tower shook slightly, and a dark golden dragon pattern lit up on its surface, echoing the dragon pattern that appeared on his palm.
He used his own dragon evil to nurture and communicate with the newly tempered tower base, laying the foundation for the subsequent construction.
Xie Zhao also stopped joking and walked to the other side of the tower base. He did not start drawing runes immediately, but instead carefully took out a palm-sized black jade box from his storage bag.
When the box was opened, it was found that there was no talisman paper or cinnabar inside, but a small box of fine gravel that sparkled with a dreamy star-blue color - it was the "Void Stardust" collected by Su Tang.
He picked up a handful of stardust with his fingertips, feeling the faint spatial fluctuations and pure star power contained in it, and his peach blossom eyes revealed the concentration and obsession unique to a talisman master.
He took out the Jinghong Talisman Pen, but instead of dipping it in ordinary talisman blood, he gently inserted the tip of the pen into the stardust.
Something wonderful happened.
The shimmering star-blue sand, like stardust drawn to a magnet, clung to the silver tip of the Jinghong Fu Pen! A layer of flowing starlight instantly flowed from the tip of the pen, emitting a mysterious and powerful fluctuation of spatial talismanic force!
"The Star Evil Talisman Codex... The Void Chapter..." Xie Zhao muttered to himself, his eyes ablaze with talismans. He took a deep breath, then slowly raised the Jinghong Talisman Pen. The starlight flowing from the tip of the pen traced a graceful, lingering trajectory through the air.
No longer a grand splash of ink, but an extremely delicate, almost reverent stroke. With each stroke, the tip of the brush, covered with stardust, imprinted a tiny rune composed of flowing starlight on the solid meteorite iron base, containing the mysteries of spatial stability and the guidance of the stars!
The moment the rune took shape, it produced a faint resonance with the dragon evil power nurtured by Chu Linyuan inside the base of the tower, like a star falling into the sea, causing ripples.
Sand…Sand…Sand…
The sound of the pen tip scratching across the meteorite was subtle yet clear, echoing across the dimly lit square in the early morning. Xie Zhao was completely absorbed, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. His expression was grave from the intense concentration, devoid of his usual playfulness.
At this moment, he is just a talisman master who is immersed in the pinnacle of talisman skills.
Chu Linyuan's palm, pressed against the tower's base, paused slightly. He could clearly sense that with each of Xie Zhao's star runes, the tower's internal structure was undergoing extremely subtle yet profound changes, becoming more stable, its affinity with space and star power constantly increasing.
His cold eyes tilted slightly and fell on Xie Zhao's focused profile.
Sweat slid down the other person's slightly pale cheek, soaking a few strands of hair at the temples.
Those peach blossom eyes that always wore a sly smile were now like the clearest starry sky, reflecting the starlight flowing from the tip of the pen and the trajectory of the runes taking shape.
Chu Linyuan's gaze lingered for a moment on the bead of sweat that was about to fall. His right index finger, which was resting on the tower's base, moved ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.
An almost invisible, pure and peaceful aura of black ice, like the gentlest breeze, brushed silently across Xie Zhao's temples.
The drop of sweat instantly froze, vaporized, and vanished without a trace. Xie Zhao's hair at his temples became dry again, and his furrowed brow seemed to relax slightly at the sudden coolness.
The outline of the star runes in his pen seemed to be smoother.
Xie Zhao did not notice this subtle episode, he was completely immersed in the world of talismans.
But the soul-guiding lamp talisman on his chest seemed to have a tiny ice crystal thrown into it, which lit up slightly and conveyed a familiar and comforting coolness.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled up into a tiny, focused arc.
On the other side of the square, Su Tang was directing Tie Niu to move materials, Luo Hongyi was studying the tower base's resistance to poison, and Bai Xiaolu was holding Rabbit and watching quietly.
Uncle Chen's broom rustled as it swept away the last bit of energy crystal dust left over from last night.
Everything is busy and orderly, full of a sense of security in rebuilding one's home.
Until the sun rose higher, the light shining through the gaps in the clouds became somewhat dazzling.
Xie Zhao finally stopped writing and breathed a sigh of relief. The starlight on the tip of Jinghong Fu's pen slowly faded.
In front of him, the east side of the tower base was already covered with hundreds of fine and mysterious void runes flowing with starlight, forming a miniature starry sky array, exuding a heart-pounding force of spatial stability.
"Done!" Xie Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his bright smile that deserved a beating reappeared on his face. He looked at Chu Linyuan, "Brother, look! This Void Solidification Formation! It draws on the earth's dragon evil, draws in the energy of the stars around it, stabilizes the space, and forms a self-contained barrier! From now on, even if that old bastard from the Heavenly Sword Sect comes to chop us down personally, he won't be able to break through our tower base in three days and three nights!"
Chu Linyuan slowly withdrew his palm. The dragon evil power that had been nurtured within the tower base slowly subsided.
His cold gaze swept across the star-studded tower wall, feeling the perfect fit between the majestic spatial power contained therein and his own dragon evil.
