[Magic: Array Dao: Five Elements Gathering Profound Array (Entry-level Not Achieved)]
Over the years, he used skin making to gain about four thousand years of longevity for himself.
And after days of effort, he finally managed to bring the complex Array Dao onto the panel.
At this moment, he focused his attention on the "Five Elements Gathering Profound Array."
[You invested 61 years of longevity, "Five Elements Gathering Profound Array" has reached Perfection, you can skillfully use the array and craft array plates and flags]
[You are not satisfied with the perfection of a single array, continuing to invest longevity, after 1 year, you begin to realize that "Five Elements Gathering Profound Array" possesses potential for improvement, but you lack the opportunities to find out]
Song Yan slightly opened his eyes, took out the array plate, flags, and that Wood Profound White Cave Crystal Jade from his Storage Bag, obtained from the Thousand Crane Sect, and fell into contemplation.
He needed to "gather evil."
Hope this southbound journey yields some harvest.
After playing with the array plate and flags for a while, he put them away and closed his eyes to rest.
Meanwhile, opposite him, Tang Fan took out the Communication Stone and shouted into it several times.
After spending these days together, he discovered that Old Monster Zhang didn’t restrict such freedoms, so he became much more casual.
"Dream Sister?"
"Dream Sister?"
Tang Fan shouted loudly.
The voice of Fang Qingmeng came from the other side of the Communication Stone.
"Stay honestly in the Secret Realm, don’t go anywhere, be careful not to be discovered by Old Demon Zhang. I’m still busy on my side, won’t talk to you now."
After finishing, without waiting for a response, the Communication Stone hung up.
Tang Fan helplessly put away the Communication Stone, then also rested.
...
Half a month passed.
The season clearly headed toward midsummer, but the south grew colder and colder, especially the direction where Song Yan and others traveled, which had a feeling of chilling winds.
The cold wind occasionally coming through the gaps of tree branches carried a piercing eeriness.
Tang Fan habitually took out the Communication Stone and shouted, "Dream Sister, I’m so bored!"
However, the Communication Stone did not connect.
Tang Fan kept shouting.
Still not connected.
He couldn’t help rolling his eyes, tossed the Communication Stone aside, then turned his head to Song Yan saying, "Senior, have you ever liked a woman?"
Song Yan didn’t answer.
Tang Fan spoke boldly, "What do you do when you meet a woman you like, who doesn’t pay attention to you?
You say Sister Dream, if she doesn’t like me, how could she help me so much and assist me in getting out of trouble?"
Song Yan glanced at the boy speechlessly, then closed his eyes.
Song Yan laughed, "You finally understand."
Tang Fan stood stunned for a long while, muttering strangely, "No wonder you’re a demon," then raised his hands to the sky, loudly wailing, "Oh heavens, am I truly beyond salvation?"
Song Yan said, "Before the Evil Treasure is removed, you’re still saveable."
Tang Fan lamented, "Isn’t that just talk? I’m just a minor character, how can I play tricks among so many old demons and monsters like you all?
All of you have cunning minds deep as the sea, faces thicker than city walls; how can I compete with you? Isn’t this a certain death for me?"
Song Yan said, "Not just you."
Tang Fan was stunned for a moment, suddenly his mood improved a lot, he got up with a leap and took out the Communication Stone, shouting to the other side, "Dream Sister! Dream Sister? I love you."
Seeing the Purple Mansion old monster closed his eyes, Tang Fan laughed smugly, "Senior, you don’t understand our youthful feelings."
Saying this, he continued saying into the Communication Stone, "Dream Sister, I love you." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He said it repeatedly.
Anyway, the Communication Stone hasn’t connected, doesn’t matter.
But suddenly, the Communication Stone lit up.
Tang Fan just finished saying "I love you."
He was startled because "Communication Stone lighting up" meant it had connected, and his confession, which he didn’t intend to convey, was transmitted.
He blushed slightly.
However, on the other side of the Communication Stone came strange "rustling" sounds, and its glow only lasted for one or two breaths before dimming instantly.
