My Nascent Soul Ran Away Again

Chapter 20: Oh No, I'm Going to Be Beaten Again

Elder Gao held a pair of spiritual jade balls in his hands to cultivate his body. He exuded the aura of a cultivator at the peak of the Body Integration stage.

"Greetings, Senior Gao," the four of them bowed and spoke in unison.

Lu Xuan learned a thing or two from the Dao Evolution Sect's Ancestral Master and joined them to act like a newbie.

Elder Gao didn't act arrogantly in front of the paragon from the outer sect and also cupped his hands in return.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked at his disciple.

"How's the preparation of the teleportation array coming along?"

Because he was worried about his disciple, Elder Gao specially ran over to take a look at the situation of the teleportation array.

"Don't worry, Master."

Gao Le was full of confidence as he led the group into the depths of the Golden Blade Sect.

Shortly, a square platform appeared in front of them.

The style of this teleportation platform was different from the common teleportation arrays. It was made of black stone and was surrounded by array patterns.

Lu Xuan took a look and raised his eyebrows.

How did the Golden Blade School get such an old antique?

Lu Xuan recognized that the method used to carve the array on the platform was an ancient technique that was rarely used by sects nowadays. He did not know where it was dug out from.

The four of them ascended the platform. Gao Le stood below with a faint smile on his face.

Looking at his disciple's appearance, Elder Gao nodded slightly.

The Golden Blade Sect's teleportation platform was a very important hub. Nothing had gone wrong in the past few days, and several batches of people had been sent over.

It seemed that his disciple was very serious this time.

On the other side, Gao Le confidently activated the teleportation formation.

A gentle light lit up and enveloped the high platform.

A few breaths later, Lu Xuan and the others...

They were still standing in the spot.

Gao Le was speechless. The smile on his face froze.

The four people on the stage looked at the ground and then at Senior Brother Gao.

Elder Gao, who was holding the spirit jade ball, narrowed his eyes.

Gao Le was a little confused.

This wasn't right.

An ominous premonition arose in his heart. He hurriedly activated the teleportation array again.

It was the same as earlier. There was only a light, but there was no change on the stage.

"What happened?" Elder Gao looked at Gao Le and stopped what he was doing.

"...replying to Master."

Gao Le blinked.

"The teleportation array might...perhaps...probably...It's temporarily out of order."

Kacha.

Elder Gao crushed the ball made of Arctic jade.

"Is this what you meant by no problem?" Elder Gao's face darkened.

Gao Le's expression was subtle. "This accident...It's inevitable."

"How impudent! The secret realm is about to open. You're saying this is an accident?!" Elder Gao glared at him.

"The sect gave you such an important task, and this is what you did?! Even I, a martial artist, can tell that there's something wrong with this teleportation array. Where did you buy it from?!"

"I dug it out from the Golden Blade Sect's storeroom...It looked like it could still be used, so I didn't spend any money," Gao Le said honestly.

When Elder Gao heard this, he almost fainted.

He remembered that because of his disciple's bad luck, he often lost money, so the latter developed a good habit of being thrifty.

When it came to spending money, he would plan carefully. Every month, the sect would have a gathering for disciples to sell artifacts. Gao Le would start haggling from the west end of the market, and he would be able to reach the east end of the market in one go.

If he wasn't worried about being implicated by his luck, Qian Tang would have asked Gao Le to take care of the accounts long ago.

But was this a place to save money?

Elder Gao's anger was cold. He thought to himself, 'Our sect doesn't lack these spirit stones. If you really want to save money, you might as well stop causing damage in the sect.

'The money I pay out every year is more than enough to build dozens of teleportation arrays.'

Elder Gao took a deep breath and decided to hang his useless disciple up later and beat him up for three days. He turned to Lu Xuan and the others.

"Rebels sure are ineffective. I'll contact the mystic realm now and ask them to open half a day later. If you don't mind, I'm willing to drive the magic chariot and give you a ride."

"There's no need to go through so much trouble."

At this moment, Lu Xuan stood up. He looked at the teleportation array and pondered for a moment.

"I can fix it."

Cheng Lingzhu was speechless, and so were Zhang Xun, Liang Xia, and Elder Gao.

There was a difference between the ancient formation path and the current formation path.

This teleportation array looked like an old thing. How did this guy know how to repair artifacts?

Elder Gao probed, "May I ask who you are, my young friend?"

"Lu Xuan from the Dao Evolution Sect."

Elder Gao's face immediately revealed a smile when he heard the name of the Dao Evolution Sect.

The relationship between the Dao Evolution Sect and the Divine Weapon Pavilion was very good. He did not expect to meet a disciple from the Dao Evolution Sect here.

Lu Xuan didn't say anything else. He took out a strange-looking carving knife from his magic storage and walked to the front of the high platform. He spun it twice and began to carve.

In less than ten minutes, Lu Xuan stopped and looked at his results. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright."

The core of the teleportation array was a type of Spiritual Yin-Yang Jade. By separating the Spiritual Jade with Dao patterns carved on it and placing it in different locations, one could anchor the coordinates.

The Spiritual Yin-Yang Jade of this teleportation array was not damaged, and the other supplementary materials could also be used. It was just that the array patterns around the array were worn out.

Lu Xuan casually added a few more to restore the teleportation function of the array.

Although he hadn't done this kind of work for many years, he was still very skilled.

The restoration speed was quick. Everyone looked at each other, but Lu Xuan was the first to ascend the platform.

Seeing this, Cheng Lingzhu also followed.

"Senior Brother Lu, how do you even know this?" Cheng Lingzhu was curious.

"In the past, I needed to cultivate and study arrays for a period of time," Lu Xuan said humbly.

Just like how he was proficient in the identification of cultural relics, he only knew about seven or eight.

In the past, in order to pursue the method of forming the Nascent Soul, Lu Xuan had robbed the tombs of many mighty figures.

Most of them used ancient formations.

Lu Xuan was mainly looking for notes related to cultivation, as well as some mantras. He was not very interested in the magic artifacts inside.

He left behind opportunities for future generations. Other than some fun things, he did not touch the other Dharmic weapons or Dao artifacts.

Sometimes, when he saw that the other party's tomb was devoid of anything, Lu Xuan would even put two artifacts inside.

However, this kind of behavior might make the latecomers puzzled.

How could there be a certain witch's cool silk stockings in the tomb of a legendary Buddhist monk who had a clean background, perfect morality, and did not get close to women?

Lu Xuan did not have any fetishes. The cool silk stockings were stolen from the tomb of another demoness.

After coming out of the tomb, he naturally had to restore the array to its original state.

Lu Xuan would also help to fix some loopholes, fix bugs, and improve the system. It could be said that he was the conscience of the tomb-raiding world.

It was precisely because of this that after thousands of years, he had not found a way to form his Nascent Soul, but his understanding of the Dao of Formations had advanced by leaps and bounds.

As a gentle white light lit up, the four figures disappeared from the teleportation platform.

Gao Le let out a long sigh of relief.

Although the process was very complicated, the result was still good.

Just as he was about to say something flirtatious, when he turned around, he saw his master rolling up his sleeves and staring at him with an unfriendly expression.

Gao Le looked at his master.

Then, he looked at the tilted tree that looked very suitable for hanging people.

He cursed in his heart. He would not be able to escape today's beating.
