Chapter 190: The Show Begins

On this day, Li Fan received a message from Zhang Zhiliang, asking him to come to the Formation Hall.

After obtaining the position of Formation Repairer, Li Fan had not been engaged in any official tasks. Presumably, Zhang Zhiliang had been busy researching the Mountain and River Formation on that recently emerged island, and that was why he hadn't contacted Li Fan.

With the sudden summons, Li Fan did not delay. He changed into a black and yellow robe and proceeded to the Formation Hall.

With his new status within the system, the Seven-Colored Immortal-Felling Formation above his head ignored Li Fan as he entered the central core area.

Walking into the oblique cube-shaped building, the small cube body seemed to recognize Li Fan's identity, automatically activating.

After a moment, Li Fan was brought into the space where Zhang Zhiliang was.

This place was extremely familiar to Li Fan. In the eleventh life, he had spent several years here, tirelessly researching formations day and night, which led him to officially step into the path of formations.

Looking ahead, Zhang Zhiliang stood with his back to him, motionless.

"Greetings, Senior." Li Fan spoke and bowed.

Zhang Zhiliang seemed as if he hadn't heard, remaining unmoved.

Seeing this, Li Fan repeated his greeting.

As if there was a long delay, after a considerable amount of time, Zhang Zhiliang finally turned around.

"Oh... you... are here."

Li Fan immediately discerned that the figure before him should be some kind of clone or projection.

However, he still inquired, "Senior, has the research on the Mountain and River Formation concluded?"

After a while, Zhang Zhiliang's intermittent voice sounded.

"Not yet. The research on the Mountain and River Formation is at a critical juncture... It's even more complicated than imagined... It's estimated to take another year or two to finish."

"Brother Li seems to have something urgent, so you left in haste..."

"I also... suddenly remembered that since you joined, I haven't taught you any formations."

"Now, in this situation, I can't spare the time."

"But if I postpone it for another one or two years, it wouldn't be justifiable."The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

"So, I will provide you with relevant formation information first. You can study on your own."

"If you have any doubts, I'll answer them one by one when I return."

Li Fan's eyes flickered.

The clone, who had been quietly running errands on Ten Thousand Immortals Island and barely maintaining what he needed to survive, activated a Concealing Form Talisman to hide its cultivation and appearance. It arrived at the Thousand Mile Hall.

The entrance to the shop was deserted, with no customers in sight. Jiao Xiuyuan lay lazily behind the counter, resting with closed eyes.

As soon as Li Fan entered, Jiao Xiuyuan bounced up, wearing a respectful expression, "Finally, a customer! What would you like?"

"Formations, talismans, spiritual weapons, and elixirs, we have it all, and discounts are available for bulk purchases!"

Li Fan chuckled, "I heard that Senior Jiao has quite a few flawed Concealing Form Talismans eliminated from the Talisman Hall?"

Jiao Xiuyuan playfully smiled, "There are indeed many Concealing Form Talismans, but where I got them from is a secret. How many do you want, fellow Daoist?"

"How many do I want? I actually want to buy all the Concealing Form Talismans fellow Daoist has..." Li Fan was halfway through his sentence before Jiao Xiuyuan's face lit up with excitement.

"But I'm short on contribution points!" he sighed, changing the topic.

Jiao Xiuyuan's face turned black, and he spoke in an unfriendly tone, "You scoundrel, are you trying to mock me?"

But then he furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled, "Why do you need so many Concealing Form Talismans? One person should only need to have a few on hand."

Li Fan smiled faintly, "This is the reason I came to fellow Daoist Jiao."

Seeing that Jiao Xiuyuan was interested, Li Fan temporarily kept him in suspense, remaining silent.

Jiao Xiuyuan sneered, "Are you trying to whet my appetite? Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it!"

Li Fan didn't get angry but smiled, then turned and walked away without any hesitation.

As he walked, he sighed, "They say Jiao Xiuyuan of Thousand Mile Hall never engages in losing deals. I thought his business acumen was extraordinary, but it seems to be nothing special."

Shaking his head, Li Fan, with one foot already out of the Thousand Mile Hall's main door, thought, "Wait!"

"Wait!"

At this moment, Jiao Xiuyuan shouted, stopping him.

Enthusiastically pulling Li Fan back, he closed the shop's door.

Jiao Xiuyuan rubbed his hands, "Although I know you are using provocative tactics, I am willingly falling for it."

He looked greedy, "Because I smell the scent of a business opportunity."
