Chapter 238: 220: Diverting Spirit Into the Jade Scroll

Translator: 549690339

Every detail of Li Fan’s array-setting activities was stored in the blue crystal stone in his spirit consciousness.

If the formation of the array failed, Li Fan could examine it any time he wished.

He could minimize his errors and learn where he went wrong.

The next time he attempted to set an array, he was more focused and could compare his earlier mistakes with the present task.

After several attempts, Li Fan’s success rate in setting arrays drastically improved.

As long as he could perfectly set an array once, he could use it as a template.

All the subsequent arrays could be set according to this model.

After ensuring success, when Li Fan got into a routine, the speed of setting the array nodes gradually increased.

Slowly, he plunged into a state of self-forgetfulness.

Nothing but array techniques dominated his consciousness.

When the Heaven-Origin Life Formation was all in place and he came back to his senses, he found that twelve years had passed.

Zhang Zhiliang connected the core array and the external array together before triggering more than three hundred thousand nodes.

A translucent blue barrier immediately shrouded the whole island.

The completion of the great array left Li a feeling of unfinished business.

Through this practice, his practical level in array setting had at least doubled.

At this point, Li Fan noticed that the other three Array Repair Staff members looked at him a bit strangely.

“Good job! Excellent!”

Li Fan learned only after the generous praise from Zhang Zhiliang that he had set nearly half of the array nodes by himself while in the state of self-forgetfulness.

He was like a ruthless puppet in array setting.

Having completed his task ahead of time, Zhang Zhiliang was in an excellent mood and decided to finish the task of reconstructing the Island Protection Array on the spot.

Li Fan obtained 4000 points as a reward.

It was even more than what the other three combined had received.

While Li Fan didn’t care much about these contribution points, he still thanked Zhang Zhiliang.

“After you return, come by the Array Strategy Hall. I have something to confide in you.”

The reprimand of the other three Array Repair Staff members went on, but he quietly passed on this message to Li Fan.

Li Fan didn’t express his feelings, but sends back a message to convey his understanding.

After completing the tasks on Tonghai Island, Zhang Zhiliang led everyone back to Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

After saying goodbye to his “colleagues”, Li Fan came to the Array Strategy Hall again after a while.

Zhang Zhiliang was already waiting.

“Master Zhang, may I know why you have summoned me?” Li Fan asked respectfully.

Zhang Zhiliang smiled, getting straight to the point, “I feel that you possess immense talent in array techniques. Would you like to follow me and learn the array techniques?

Li Fan pretended to be surprised, “Master Zhang, you are the first in array techniques among the Misthaven Ocean. I’d definitely love to.”

However…” Li Fan looked somewhat hesitant.

“What concerns do you have?” Zhang Zhiliang raised an eyebrow and asked.

Li Fan answered honestly, “I am currently in the final stage of foundation establishment and want to focus my energies on improving my cultivation level to progress to the Golden Core Realm..

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhang Zhiliang.

“For us cultivators, the importance of realm obviously comes first. After all, every breakthrough can greatly extend life. Your plan is entirely reasonable.”

“However, cultivation requires a good balance of work and rest. When you feel that you’ve hit a bottleneck, you might find it easier to break through by studying the array techniques.”

Zhang Zhiliang thought for a moment and pulled out a small metallic figure and handed it to Li Fan.

Upon examining it closely, Li Fan found that the object in his hand was very much like Zhang Zhiliang.

“Master Zhang, what is this?” Li Fan asked.

“Hehe, this is the Soul Partition Jade Scroll. It contains a sliver of my divine sense and can be transformed into a phantom figure to teach the knowledge contained in the Jade Scroll.”

Zhang Zhiliang looked pleased as he explained this to Li Fan.

The metallic figure transformed into countless specks of light, forming a human figure that appeared right in front of Li Fan.

It looked like a real person, it was almost impossible to tell that it wasn’t.

“If you have any questions during your studies, you may ask him. It will provide answers based on the contents of the jade scroll and the memory of my divine sense embedded in it. It’s like having half of me by your side.”

Zhang’s real body and the illusion from the metallic figure spoke simultaneously.

“If you encounter any problem that it can’t solve, I can take over anytime to answer it myself.”

“You have good talent, so I’ll give you this Soul Partition Jade Scroll. You can study array techniques anytime you want after cultivation.”

“In this way, it will not delay your cultivation, and can also improve your array technique. ”

“Of course, the content of the jade scroll is limited. Once you have learned all the content within, you can come to the Array Strategy Hall to find me.”

“I will replace it with a new Soul Partition Jade Scroll.”

“What do you think?”

Zhang Zhiliang asked with a smile.

Li Fan was not unfamiliar with this illusion.

When his past incarnation was learning in the Array Strategy Hall, he was instructed by such illusions.

However, at that time, he thought that these illusions were some kinds of array techniques or split spell.

He didn’t expect that they were just ones formed by a jade scroll.

But that had no real impact on Li Fan.

His purpose in approaching Zhang Zhiliang was twofold. The first was to improve his array setting techniques.

Second, after earning Zhang’s trust, he would receive a legacy worth 400,000 contribution points.

Now with the Soul Partition Jade Scroll, he wouldn’t need to stay in the Array Strategy Hall all the time and hence would be more flexible.

He immediately put on an ecstatic expression and thanked Zhang Zhiliang.

Zhang Zhiliang explained some rules to his students to Li Fan before letting him leave.

“If I say, in my previous life, I was fortunate to have apprenticed under Zhang Zhiliang and won him over eventually with one word – diligence.”

“In this life, I showed promise in the field of array techniques and Zhang took a liking to me due to my talent. So he directly took me on as his student.”

“But, that doesn’t mean I’ve got very high expertise in the field. It’s highly possible that Zhang intends to teach me so he can spread his skills widely.” “Come to think about it, it seems logical.”

“Even Misthaven Ocean knows the importance of not putting all one’s eggs in one basket, much less such an accomplished master as Zhang. He probably doesn’t want to pass on his life-long study, the [Infinite Techinique], to just one energy refining cultivator.”

Li Fan, in the TianXuan Mirror, contemplated on what he had learned and experienced in his past life and seemed to reach an understanding.

Being ill-intentioned himself, he didn’t have the right to complain.

Putting these thoughts aside, Li Fan activated the enlightenment function.

Starting up the Soul Partition Jade Scroll, Li Fan listened to Zhang’s phantom image teaching while diligently studying.

Two wills, clearly demarcated, mutually uninfluenced.

“The Taoist Divine One really is a fabulous art. Multi-tasking enhances efficiency in everything.”

As he felt the extraordinary effects of this supreme secret art of the Taiyan Sect, Li Fan couldn’t help exclaiming.

While Li Fan was immersed in cultivation, the Avatar finally received Jiao Xiuyuan’s message.

“Fellow Taoist Lin Fan, I fulfilled the task! The Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, you wanted me to find, has finally been mined out!” “Hehe, this is a great harvest! Can you guess how many I found?”
