### Chapter 432: What Time Is It? And You’re Still Thinking About Spring and Autumn!
“The Array Peak seems to be nearly built.” While Shui Miao Miao was in her own little world, Bai Feng casually sat on a chair, scrolling through a forum showcasing the live progress of the Array Peak’s construction. “The virtual training is almost ready too. I’ll just move it to the Array Peak another day.”
Thinking this, he glanced over at Shui Miao Miao, who for some reason was turning red every so often. But when he entered the array to observe, all he saw was her painting on his ‘body,’ which was surprisingly normal…ish.
Although he couldn’t quite understand why she would occasionally blush, he didn’t think much of it. After all, he knew her well enough to know that she often had all sorts of oddball thoughts.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Who is it? Is it Chu Chu?”
Bai Feng slowly stood up from his chair and glanced over at Tian Yan, who was still hanging onto his neck. “By the way, you’ve already broken through. Why are you still clinging to me?”
“It’s just a breakthrough to the Refinement Stage.” Tian Yan nonchalantly replied, showing no intention of letting go. “As long as I need to cultivate, I can’t possibly let go of you.”
“…Fine, you can keep holding on. I’m going to answer the door now.”
Bai Feng shook his head, helpless, and stepped toward the door. Right as he reached it, Tian Yan disappeared from his shoulders.
Was it due to her shyness, or was she just avoiding exposing their relationship? Who knew?
He pushed the door open, revealing a somewhat unfamiliar little disciple standing nervously at the threshold.
“Is there something you need?”
“Uh, um, this is from Brother Lin. He asked me to give it to you.” She reached into her storage bag, and her hands froze in a stiff motion from her nervousness.
“Oh, thank you for the trouble.”
Bai Feng took the storage bag, feeling a bit puzzled about why Lin Yan would send a little disciple to deliver something.
“Um, okay, then I’ll be going. Bye, Master Bai!”
With that, the little disciple scampered off in a hurry, her short legs working overtime.
“Master, huh?”
Looks like the Sect Master has started promoting him.
He glanced in the direction the little disciple had disappeared, murmuring, “Do I look that scary? It shouldn’t be that nerve-wracking to meet the Master, right?”
“You don’t look scary, but your reputation certainly is.” Once the little disciple was gone, Tian Yan materialized next to him again. “After all, you’re the one who created the Simulation Secret Realm. Even if you’re no longer in charge of it, your name still travels among the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples. Want me to tell you what your nickname is among them?”
“…No thanks, I can probably guess.”
Bai Feng waved his hand and then looked down at the storage bag sent by the little disciple.
Without opening it immediately, he plopped down on the sofa instead.
He had an inkling of what Lin Yan had sent. Just earlier, he had seen some posts on the forum mentioning that colorful radiant lights were coming from Dan Peak, which was likely orchestrated by Lin Yan.
He opened the storage bag, revealing a simple setup: a bottle of pills and a piece of paper covered in writing.
“Brother Bai, first of all, thank you for helping me refine the Alchemy Furnace. Without it, I wouldn’t have had such smooth sailing.
The bottle contains the pills I just made using the few you gave me as a base. I wanted to have them ready before you broke through to the Refinement Stage, but I was a step too slow. However, that pushed me to take it a step further and create pills useful even for the Refinement Stage. Isn’t that bold?
Well, I succeeded! The pills in the bottle are the fruits of my labor. Consuming one can refine your spirit power and increase your cultivation temporarily, and if someone at the Transformation God Full Stage takes it, they have a high chance of breaking through to the Refinement Stage. However, it’s a bit volatile; I wouldn’t recommend it without a solid body.
Unfortunately, I had to rush my breakthrough after gaining some insights, so I couldn’t deliver it myself and had to ask someone to help.
One more thing, since I received the Cloud Immortal’s inheritance and won’t be coming out immediately after my breakthrough, I’d like you to buy me a copy of ‘Spring and Autumn.’”
Bai Feng: “……”
What time is it, and you’re still thinking about ‘Spring and Autumn’?!
After venting his frustration, Bai Feng turned to the pill bottle. As a so-called system ‘victim,’ he didn’t really need any pills to boost his cultivation at the moment. After all, the Eastern Continent Empress Shui Xi Yu didn’t stop hunting down disobedient forces. Besides accumulating some rewards related to Illusion Art, he’d also received a few offers related to cultivation that he simply hadn’t accepted yet. If he wanted to, he could break through to the middle Refinement Stage right now.
So he was pondering whether to let someone else use this pill. Perhaps it could help Zuo Qiu level up. A Child of Destiny at the Refinement Stage with a Divine Body plus the gear and arrays he had given her should be able to tussle with someone at the Merging Stage, right? Even if she couldn’t go toe-to-toe with them, escaping shouldn’t be an issue.
Then, when he lets Zuo Qiu out, those Divine Monarchs would definitely have a headache.
……
After receiving the pills from Lin Yan, the following days were relatively calm. Chu Chu, Little Qi, and the others continued to help him test the virtual training, while Shui Miao Miao was busy painting, and he wandered around the newly built Array Peak, setting up arrays.
“The Array Peak is finally finished…”
Bai Feng looked up at the structures above him. Unlike the other peaks of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Array Peak had the most buildings and was also the most unified.
Each area was meticulously planned, even those where the disciples would live.
Once inside the Array Peak, the differences were even more pronounced. With his and the research room’s designs, the entire Array Peak resembled a mini grand array, but this grand array was not focused on defense—it was more about functionality.
No need to mention the professional arrays in the research room. He even installed a few streetlights on the path for the younger disciples and set up things like ‘surveillance’—not to mention the nice little water taps that spout water with a twist and special spirit energy lines in every building of the living area.
“Hey, why is the Master here? Didn’t the Sect Master and others head back?”
Just then, a voice rang from behind Bai Feng.
Turning around, he saw his master Liu Meng approaching, and he smiled and nodded. “Oh, it’s you, Master. I didn’t have much to do anyway, and lately, the Sect Master and others have been busy cultivating, so they just had a short chat and then headed back.”
“You really made this whole new peak remarkably simple,” Liu Meng shook her head. “If it were anyone else, they’d probably celebrate for days on end.”
“Too much work for me.”
Just thinking about it made him feel tired; he’d much rather hunt down the bugs in the virtual training!
