Finally, Long Qifeng added powdered crystal cores to it and began to carve array formations on Wang Hu and Lu Hai's bare upper bodies.
As he drew, he said, “This observation array can only last for seven days because I ground the crystal cores into powder and added them in. Also, the array needs to be concealed, so it cannot absorb free energy from the air. The energy supply cannot be guaranteed. If this time is exceeded and no evidence is collected, then there’s nothing more we can do.”
Lu Chenxing nodded and said, “It’s fine. If no problems are found after seven days, then we’ll think of other methods.”
“Hmm, in addition, it also has a certain protective function. If they encounter life-threatening danger, even a sixth-tier attack can be withstood for a moment. Although the strength is not high, it can still buy some time.”
While they chatted, Wang Hu and Lu Hai sat there like sculptures, not daring to move.
As the last stroke fell, the transparent array patterns on their bodies flickered slightly with a hint of light, then disappeared completely, sinking beneath their skin.
Even Lu Chenxing himself, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, probably wouldn't have thought there were array formations on them.
“Alright, it’s done.” Long Qifeng was also a bit tired. After all, he was setting up a genuine sixth-tier observation array, and carving such an array on a person was extremely taxing on his mental energy, even for him.
After all, with something containing high-density energy, if something went wrong, the person being carved might be directly torn apart by the runaway energy!
At this moment, with the array successfully carved, everyone present let out a long sigh of relief. Yun Qiaoqiao, who had been clenching her left hand tightly, quietly relaxed it.
“Thank you, Senior Long, and also, thank you, Little Lu.” Yan Pingsha quickly stepped forward, twisting her hands together, her face flushed. Finally, she lowered her head and uttered two dry words of thanks.
After all, it was they who were helping her clean up the mess. She knew she should express gratitude, but she, who never liked to owe favors, was now at a loss, unsure what to do.
Seeing this, Lu Chenxing smiled, then said to Long Qifeng with a smile, “I’m not troubled at all; it’s mainly Senior Long who was troubled. Next time Senior has anything, just come to the guild to find us. We’ll definitely help with whatever we can!”
This was something Long Qifeng had mentioned to him before. This time, he promised Long Qifeng again, and through this give-and-take, their relationship seemed to have subtly grown much closer.
“Hahaha, good! I won’t be polite then!” Long Qifeng laughed heartily upon hearing this. Although it seemed that these two third-tier youngsters couldn't help him much now, in reality, he knew very well that he was old, but these youngsters in Paper House still had infinite potential!
As the saying goes, adding flowers to brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow. He deeply understood this principle, which was also why he was willing to come and help.
“Alright, you two find another place. I’ll set up the manifestation array. After this, all the scenes and sounds they see will be transmitted here, just like seeing them with your own eyes.” Long Qifeng put away his things and smiled at them.
After discussion, it was decided to place the manifestation array on the currently vacant third basement floor.
When the manifestation array was completed, a light screen immediately appeared in the center of the array. When the light screen lit up, their figures instantly appeared within it.
“It’s set up.” Long Qifeng clapped his hands. The next second, the same words and clapping sounds appeared in the light screen, clearly indicating that the array was set up successfully!
Afterward, Lu Chenxing took out a record stone, placed it in front of the array, and casually conjured a charging magic array. A light blue, small magic array with a lightning symbol in the middle appeared, about one meter in diameter, enveloping the record stone and beginning to charge it, allowing it to record for a long time.
A single record stone could preserve images for at least about fifteen days, so placing it here was absolutely no problem.
Looking at the magic array released by Lu Chenxing, Long Qifeng was a bit strange, because he had never seen such a simple array. It could even be set up without materials, and for a moment, he couldn't even find the core of this magic array...
One must know that a so-called Array Master was not self-proclaimed, but only certified after official recognition, to indicate one's profound array cultivation!
But what most people didn't know was that although the arrays of cultivators, Scholars, and mages were all different, they were interconnected. Once one reached this realm, even if it was an array they had never seen before, they could roughly figure out how to break it.
However, Long Qifeng was somewhat dumbfounded now, because he found that this array seemed to only be able to... be broken by force?
As he thought about it, he unconsciously squatted down, looking at the magic array on the ground, and then stared blankly, which made everyone present a bit confused, but they didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him.
Even Lu Chenxing was a bit puzzled, because he could roughly sense that Long Qifeng was very interested in this magic array, which he hadn't expected.
Because in his mind, Long Qifeng was a master-level figure in both array and talisman cultivation from the cultivation side, and should not know much about magic arrays, which was why he casually set up a small array.
As time passed minute by minute, about two minutes later, Lu Chenxing looked at the time. It was almost deep into the night, so he reminded, “Senior Long, time is almost up. If you don’t leave, the night will get deeper…”
But Long Qifeng seemed not to have heard. Lu Chenxing could only helplessly continue, “Senior Long, if you don’t go out, Ningning will cry looking for her grandpa.”
At the mention of Ningning, Long Qifeng immediately snapped back to reality, took a deep breath, stood up, and asked with burning eyes, “Little Lu, this array of yours seems very special. Is it something from that knowledge inheritance you obtained before? Why can’t I find its core?”
At his realm, nothing excited him more than discovering new things on his path.
Seeing that Long Qifeng seemed to know something about magic arrays in his words, Lu Chenxing felt his scalp tingle, unsure how to explain. What if he admitted it was from that knowledge inheritance, and Long Qifeng became interested and asked him to explain a bit, what then?
With his thoughts racing, he said, “Senior Long, you say it’s an array?”
“Hmm?” Long Qifeng said strangely, “Isn’t this an array?”
“If you ask me, this isn’t an array.” Lu Chenxing had already thought of an explanation and suddenly became confident: “This isn’t an array at all. This is a small spell I obtained by chance. Its form is roughly between an array and a spell. It doesn’t require materials and can set up something similar to a magic array!”
“The advantage is that it’s more convenient, and the disadvantage is that it has no offensive power, a small range, and isn’t very stable. It can only do small things, like this current one.”
Lu Chenxing said, spreading his hands, indicating that was all there was to it.
This left Long Qifeng stunned in place. After a moment, he said thoughtfully, “Between an array and a spell? No wonder I couldn’t see the core. So that’s how it is! But this is quite interesting, it seems to be a new idea…”
