Seeing this, Li Fan just smiled and didn’t explain further.

Huang Fusong, however, had no intention of letting him off so easily, despite the actual lack of interaction between them.

His familiarity with Li Fan did not stop him from avidly attempting to ingratiate himself, in an almost overly-enthusiastic manner.

“Huang Fusong Senior, how often do you encounter Chief Lu?”

Li Fan responded intermittently and, seeing Huang Fusong’s relentless chatter, interrupted him with a question.

Huang Fusong paused for a moment.

He answered awkwardly, “What a man of stature Chief Lu is…”

Before he could finish, Li Fan interjected with a meaningful gaze, “So it seems. A golden opportunity is right before you. Huang Fusong Senior, aren’t you going to seize the opportunity to make a good impression?”

Huang Fusong was momentarily stunned before realization dawned on him.

He exclaimed with joy, “My friend, you’re right. If I’m fortunate enough to catch Chief Lu’s eye, advancement will be within my grasp!”

“Hehe, feel free to tell me such things. However, when in the presence of others, it’s best to be a little more cautious.” Li Fan cautioned once more.

“Understood, understood.” Huang Fusong quickly nodded.

After that, he hastily left the area, seeking his “opportunity to showcase” himself.

Li Fan finally found quiet solitude.

The early intelligence about Chief Lu’s whereabouts naturally came from Lu Xuejing secretly passing on the information.

However, that was all there was to it.

He didn’t ask her to do anything more.

It wasn’t that a sudden surge of kindness had erupted within Li Fan. He was aware of the fact that even the slightest anomaly before Chief Lu, a man of the world’s pinnacle strength, could be detected.

The Fisherman’s methods were indeed mysterious, but whether they could deceive the top powerhouses in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals was still unknown.

When it came to matters of his own safety, Li Fan was understandably cautious.

Any talk of some grand scheme was negligible.

With Golden Core Cultivation Level, attempting to outmaneuver the Unity Immortal Monarch would only lead to his own defeat. Naturally, Li Fan wasn’t unwise to such extent.

All he did was create an “accidental” encounter with Chief Lu.

Whatever might happen after meeting him, Li Fan had already stated before.

Whether he would succeed or fail would depend entirely on destiny.

…Ever since Dong Fang learned about Chief Lu’s upcoming visit, the entire work atmosphere in the Spirit Transforming Stream had undergone a change.

Not a single person was seen idling around.

Each cultivator was rushing around with a stern expression on their faces.

He was continuously rechecking the finished parts of the Array Technique, afraid of missing something.

The heavy atmosphere of preparedness made the other cultivators who had come with Huang Fusong uncomfortable.

Furthermore, seeing the usually lackadaisical Huang Fusong unexpectedly busy made them guess that a significant person was coming for an inspection.

They all volunteered to help.

With the additional assistance of many skilled cultivators, Dong Fang didn’t refuse.

Without special countermeasures within the Spirit Transforming Stream, even cultivators could hardly move an inch.

For this reason, Dong Fang urgently requested a number of “Soul Beads” to allow Li Fan and the others to move freely.

“These are distributed to you by Senior Dong Fangyao.” A handsome boy, donned in a black and white Taoist robe looked about seven or eight.

He took out a white jade bottle from his bosom and dispersed colourful, chaotic beads to each person.

“Swallow it, place it in your Dantian. You will then be able to sense the flow of Spiritual Energy.” Despite his young age, the youth was experienced in instructing them on how to use the Soul Beads and what to note.

The colourful Soul Bead in Li Fan’s hand seemed ordinary after observing it for a while.

He swallows it.

Once the Soul Bead entered his body, a radiance of all colours poured out, enveloping his whole body.

Acting as a catalyst, it stimulated the dormant Spiritual Energy within his body.

The Spiritual Energy, initially suppressed by the Spirit Transforming Stream, regained its vitality in an instant.

Even though it still did not have full strength as compared to the outside world, it barely managed to maintain his daily tasks.

“Rather than eliminating the suppression, it’s more accurate to say it acts as a catalyst, enhancing the Spiritual Energy’s reactivity.”

“Thus, it partially neutralizes the Death Silence effect of the Spirit Transforming Stream.”

“With that said, if this “Soul Bead” were to be consumed in an ordinary region in the outside world, wouldn’t it…”

Li Fan, feeling the mixed and colourful foreign Spiritual Energy within his body, contemplated.

While he was deep in thought, he heard the child standing in front say, “The effects of the Soul Bead will last for thirty days. Everyone must pay attention to its expiration.”

“There have been cultivators so absorbed in their work that they’ve forgotten the expiration. When the bead wears off, their Spiritual Power is exhausted, and they fall from the sky, dying instantly.”

“If you no longer wish to use it midway, you can circulate your Spiritual Power and expel the remaining Soul Bead from your body.”

When the cultivators heard this, they all nodded.

“Oh right, there’s one more thing. Before leaving the Spirit Transforming Stream, either wait for the Soul Bead’s effect to fully wear off, or expel the Soul Bead directly.”

“Remember this. Otherwise, it carries the danger of a Spiritual Energy explosion. Of course, if your physique is as strong as Senior Dong Fangyao’s, and you don’t fear the turbulence of Spiritual Energy, then just ignore what I’ve said.”

The child informed them about everything they needed to know with great attention to detail.

After acknowledging all the cultivators, he transformed into a one-legged white crane before their eyes and flew away.

With the help of the Soul Bead, the now energized cultivators immediately threw themselves into the Array Construction.

They swiftly adapted and integrated into the atmosphere of the Spirit Transforming Stream.

Like this, a day passed. freewёbnoνel.com

While Li Fan was conducting an Array unit check, he sensed something, halted his work, and looked up.

He saw a rainbow streaking across the sky, piercing the darkness of Ten Thousand Mile Flame Burning Beach, heading directly for the Spirit Transforming Stream below.

The calm, green waters seemed to sense something, creating waves despite the absence of wind and constantly surging.

The suppressive force suddenly increased to another level, which caught the cultivators, moving freely with the help of the Soul Beads, off guard.

The imbalance of Spiritual Power almost made them fall from the sky.

At that moment, Li Fan saw countless transparent patterns radiating from the rainbow.

As they continuously expanded outward, like a dome covering the sky, this ‘Great Array’ quickly covered the entire Spirit Transforming Stream.

“Array Technique?”

Li Fan looked upwards, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

The patterns flickered, and in an instant, a Great Array was formed.

The surging green river appeared to be heavily suppressed, becoming instantly calm. Even the water level seemed to have visibly dropped a little.

The cultivators trapped within the Array Technique felt a great sense of relief.

The suppressive effect of the Spirit Transforming Stream seemed to disappear suddenly.

Surrounded by more than ten black-clothed cultivators, a woman in a white robe named Lu Qixian trod on the rainbow.

She descended in front of everyone.

“We pay our respects to Chief Lu!”

Dong Fangyao and Huang Fusong quickly soared forwards, bowing to her respectfully.

Lu Qixian scanned both of them, her face cold and stern.

“Let’s go, show me how the Array Construction is progressing.”
