After the match ended, Deng Youcai rushed down from the stands and headed straight to the center of the field to check on his brother Deng Youfu.
"Um—he's alright." The Minister of Magic looked at the other man's anxious expression and gently reassured him, "He just had a bit of a mental shock and is a little dazed. He'll recover after a good night's sleep."
As Deng Youcai helped his unconscious brother up, his body suddenly stiffened slightly.
Clearly, Liu Kunsheng's will had directly transmitted something to his mind. Deng Youcai's anxiety eased slightly, replaced by a complex expression.
He nodded silently, bowed deeply to Lu Xiaobai in the arena, and then quickly helped Deng Youfu leave the arena.
At this moment, Hu Tianbiao's crimson fox eyes looked towards an inconspicuous corner of the stands. As if sensing something, he pondered for a moment and then left the Minister of Magic with the words, "I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll be back later."
Immediately, his crimson figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the competition stage in an instant.
The deafening screams and cheers from the audience had not yet completely subsided, and many enthusiastic eyes were still focused on Lu Xiaobai, making him feel uncomfortable and wanting to escape from this "eyes-grabbing" scene as soon as possible.
He had just turned around to make a run for it when a pink figure, like a light butterfly, leaped down from the stands and landed precisely in front of him, blocking his way.
"noob!"
Lu Linglong looked at him with a bright smile and sparkling eyes.
"Well?"
"It's your turn to play next—" Lu Xiaobai reminded him.
"I know!"
Lu Linglong nodded vigorously, her voice clear and crisp.
"After my match, let's walk together, okay? And also—"
As she spoke, she very naturally, even deliberately, moved closer to Lu Xiaobai.
That distance completely broke down normal social boundaries, carrying an undeniable sense of intimacy, as if declaring one's sovereignty in full view of everyone.
Lu Linglong completely ignored the jealous gazes directed at her from the audience, which seemed to want to "devour" her whole. She appeared to want to make a good impression on her crush and show off her strength.
The idea itself is good, full of a young girl's fighting spirit.
However, reality is cruel—her opponent is Zhang Lingyu, the direct disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion and a recognized top expert among the younger generation!
As for the result—heh, they'll probably get beaten so badly they'll question their existence.
Meanwhile, inside the main Taoist temple of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Lu Xiaobai's true form was working with the intelligence minister, intently setting up the key nodes of a massive alchemical array.
According to the design he conceived together with the old Celestial Master, this special spirit-gathering array called "Dao Chang Cun" will consist of six interconnected alchemical arrays forming a cyclical system that covers the entire Celestial Master's Mansion area.
Five alchemical arrays will be placed at five key locations around the Celestial Master's Mansion, forming a standard pentagram structure of a magic array and creating an inner loop node.
Their main function is to stabilize and guide the convergence of the elements of heaven and earth, minimizing their dissipation.
The core array eye located in the main hall is the heart of the entire array, responsible for the true "gathering" core function.
This intricate design of "gathering" and "circulation" is enough to prove that Lu Xiaobai's mastery of formations is at a master level.
Since it's a master craftsman, the fee is naturally astronomical.
Although the Celestial Master and Lu Xiaobai had a close personal relationship, they kept their public and private matters separate.
Such a massive project concerns the foundation of the Celestial Master's Mansion for hundreds of years to come, so this huge expense will naturally be borne by the Celestial Master's Mansion.
The value of those rare alchemical materials alone is immeasurable, not to mention the "labor cost" personally incurred by Lu Xiaobai, the mage.
According to Lu Xiaobai's calculations, this "Dao Chang Cun" formation, as long as basic daily maintenance and upkeep are done well, can operate stably for hundreds of years without any problem.
In today's rapidly changing society, a magic array that can maintain its effectiveness for hundreds of years is already a remarkable achievement.
After all, he wasn't the immortal Ziyang who created the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley," a true paradise, and he didn't have that kind of power.
At this moment, the ground of the main dojo was almost completely turned upside down.
Several alchemical golems were busy under Lu Xiaobai's control, making clanging and crackling sounds. Anyone who didn't know better would think that a major renovation project was underway.
The entire area surrounding the dojo was surrounded by layers of magical barriers set up by Lu Xiaobai, and several high-ranking Taoist priests from the Celestial Master's Mansion personally took turns guarding it.
Now, let alone flies, even a ghost would be terrified if it tried to sneak in.
But thinking about it, it's quite dramatic.
One of the core inheritance arrays of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion in the future, [Dao Chang Cun], has a core structure that is actually an alchemy array led by a magician, and it even has a genuine Taoist name.
If this gets out, the Celestial Master's Mansion will lose face.
No wonder the Celestial Master kept this matter a secret, not even revealing a word to his most trusted disciples, such as Zhang Lingyu and Rong Shan.
It can only be said that times are progressing and ideas are changing.
Even Dean Taber, known for his conservatism, began cautiously promoting some Taoist mental techniques as elective experimental courses within the academy after Lu Xiaobai's repeated suggestions and examples. The aim was to help young magicians stabilize their minds and reduce the risk of falling into dark magic due to loss of control of their power or being haunted by inner demons.
Whether in the domestic world of supernatural beings or the international magical world, in this relatively peaceful era, mutual exchange, learning from each other's strengths, and jointly exploring the mysteries of the world is the true path to development.
Having visited Europe multiple times and witnessed firsthand the vitality of magical civilization, the old Celestial Master clearly understood this point and knew that the Celestial Master's Mansion must also keep pace with the times in order to ensure its continued inheritance.
This is also the mainstream view among young, unconventional people in the world today.
