Chapter 90
Separation
As soon as he sat down, Li Yunfan asked directly.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, I wonder what the extent of the repair of that ancient teleportation array is? Fellow Daoist Qi mentioned that it seems to have encountered some difficulties. Is there anything we two can do to help?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin glanced at Qi Yunxiao, whose eyes were full of love beside her, and a gentle smile appeared on her face before she explained to Li Yunfan and Han Li.
"Ruyin has already repaired nearly 90% of that ancient teleportation array. Now, only one of the more critical parts remains to be sorted out. If we can discuss it together with Senior Li, it is estimated that it will be completely repaired in another three days."
Li Yunfan raised an eyebrow slightly; he hadn't expected this speed.
It must be related to my previous discussion on Taoism and the fact that Qi Yunxiao is still alive.
When Li Yunfan first met Xin Ruyin, he had discussed the principles of formations with her.
Although that knowledge had no connection to the ancient teleportation array, the flashes of inspiration generated during their exchange could still greatly broaden each other's thinking.
Furthermore, the passing of a loved one and the fact that they are alive and well can evoke completely different feelings.
In comparison, the latter naturally allows one to concentrate more fully on exerting their full potential.
"Alright, that's exactly what we came here for. Since we can help Fellow Daoist Xin, that would be great." Li Yunfan smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, senior!" Xin Ruyin bowed to Li Yunfan again.
Just then, Han Li's voice suddenly rang in Li Yunfan's ears.
After listening to the other party's telepathic message, he simply nodded slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, I don't have a deep understanding of formations and can't be of much help in this regard, so I won't bother you any longer. I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now."
After receiving Li Yunfan's consent, Han Li finally said that he wanted to leave.
Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao naturally and respectfully saw Han Li out of the bamboo house.
Only after Han Li's figure had completely disappeared did the two return to the house.
As soon as they entered the house, Xin Ruyin couldn't wait to exchange ideas about formations with Li Yunfan, while Qi Yunxiao was naturally overjoyed to stay there.
It wasn't until half a month later that Han Li finally returned to Xin Ruyin's residence.
Upon learning that the ancient teleportation array had been repaired, a smile appeared on his face.
Afterwards, Li Yunfan and Han Li bid farewell and left together. Both of them had gained a lot from this trip and were naturally very happy.
Han Li obtained the repaired ancient teleportation array blueprints and purchased a set of top-tier magic artifacts, the Red Thread Escape Needle, as well as a recipe for True Essence Pills from the Star Dust Pavilion in the Yuanwu Kingdom's market.
Meanwhile, at a weapon-refining shop in the market, he also refined the materials from the Golden-backed Mantis into another set of top-tier magic weapons, which can be described as a very fruitful harvest.
As for Li Yunfan, although his gains were not as great as Han Li's, they were still a hundred times more valuable than Han Li's combined gains.
Firstly, there's his understanding of formations. His exchanges with Xin Ruyin and his experience in personally repairing the ancient teleportation array have deepened his mastery of formations.
However, what excited him the most was the jade slip that he obtained from Xin Ruyin, which recorded several ancient formations!
Of course, his real purpose was the secret technique recorded at the end of the jade slip, the Mysterious Shepherd Nascent Soul Transformation Technique!
Although this secret technique has no real effect on him now.
But once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, it will be like a second life for him!
Now that I can finally have it in my hands, I am naturally overjoyed.
Speaking of which, after he and Xin Ruyin worked together to repair the ancient teleportation array, they only rested for one day before Xin Ruyin came to him to exchange ideas about array formations.
After spending several days together, Xin Ruyin and Qi Yunxiao gradually lost their initial sense of respect.
On the contrary, because of Li Yunfan's approachable manner, the three of them got along very well, just like old friends.
Li Yunfan took the opportunity to ask to see the ancient array manual in Xin Ruyin's possession.
To his surprise, Xin Ruyin only hesitated for a moment before giving him the jade slip.
This made him feel somewhat guilty, so he proposed to give the other party a large amount of spirit stones and pills.
However, Xin Ruyin refused, as she already knew about the problem with her Dragon Roar Body.
She had long given up on the idea of treatment and only wanted to spend the rest of her life with Qi Yunxiao.
Li Yunfan could only sigh inwardly and offer his sincere blessings.
"Brother, the ancient teleportation array blueprints have now been repaired. As long as we can purchase the materials, we can successfully activate that ancient teleportation array... Are you really not going to leave with me?" Han Li suddenly looked at Li Yunfan again and asked during the flight.
"Second brother, my mind is made up about this matter, so let's not bring it up again." Li Yunfan smiled slightly at him, his voice soft but firm.
Upon hearing this, Han Li fell silent, and in the end could only sigh inwardly, no longer dwelling on the matter.
The two flew all the way to the vicinity of the Yuanwu Kingdom's market town before stopping in a cloud layer high in the sky.
"Second brother, let's part ways here. You just need to repair the ancient teleportation array step by step according to the records in the jade slip. Even without guidance, there won't be any problems," Li Yunfan said to Han Li with a deep look in his eyes.
Han Li's expression changed, and after a moment he looked up at Li Yunfan and slowly spoke.
"Brother, take care on your journey!"
Li Yunfan gave Han Li a deep look, then nodded heavily. He turned around, and the Cloud Piercing Boat beneath his feet transformed into a white light, gradually disappearing from Han Li's sight.
"Second brother, second brother, please don't blame me for not reminding you later. After all, this is your destiny, and I can't let you miss it because of me. Besides, if you hadn't saved her, she might have really met a tragic end. I'm doing this for your own good..."
Standing on the Cloud Piercing Boat, Li Yunfan looked at the clouds constantly passing by and thought to himself.
After leaving Xin Ruyin's residence, he made no mention of repairing the ancient teleportation array.
In fact, given his current mastery of formations, plus his personal involvement in the formation repair, he was quite skilled.
With just a few pointers, Han Li would have no problems repairing the teleportation array.
However, he did not do so.
If Han Li had succeeded in repairing it on the first try, he wouldn't have gone to the market to buy materials again, nor would he have encountered Nangong Wan along the way and rescued her.
There is only one reason why he didn't go along.
That is, he didn't want to be a witness to the intimate contact between the two.
If Nangong Wansu wakes up and sees that there's still an outsider like me, she might slap me to death. Wouldn't I really become a wronged ghost?
Therefore, it's better for him to part ways with Han Li directly, since there's nothing else worth noting afterward.
"The Li family of Tongbei Mountain, I'm back!"
