Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1363 - 592: Is Engraving Array Patterns Really That Difficult?

As Lin Xuankong and the three from the Li Family spoke, they were already approaching the front of a rather tall building.

This entire building was constructed from bluish-green megaliths. The carvings on those great stones were all exquisitely done, and they faintly emitted an extremely strong fluctuation. From time to time, some extremely complex Array Patterns would surface on the stone surfaces. Clearly, this building had already been set up with an Array and was no ordinary stone structure!

On the plaza before the hall’s main doors, there were seventy to eighty Divine Mountain Warriors of the Human Race and Demon Race busily working without pause, each driving an Immortal Artifact to inscribe Array Patterns on some megaliths that had already been cut and carved. Every Divine Mountain Warrior currently engraving Array Patterns wore a solemn expression, their faces extremely serious and tense. They didn’t dare be distracted in the slightest; even the arrival of Lin Xuankong’s group of four went completely unnoticed, and not a single Divine Mountain Warrior cast a glance in their direction.

Among the crowd, there were also three Celestial Officials of the Construction Hall dressed in gray, weaving back and forth among those Divine Mountain Warriors.

These three Construction Hall Celestial Officials would occasionally speak up with stern faces to offer a few words of guidance, pointing out the points that those Array-pattern-engraving Divine Mountain Warriors needed to pay attention to next.

At this moment, sensing Cultivators approaching, one of the young female Celestial Officials, beautiful in appearance and clad in a purple robe, turned her head and looked toward where Lin Xuankong and the others were.

In the hair atop this purple-robed female Celestial Official’s head, just like that white-clothed Wu Tianguan, there were also two dragon horns, though they looked slightly smaller. Clearly, she and the other two Celestial Officials were also Cultivators of the Candle Dragon Race!

Having just arrived on someone else’s turf, the three Li brothers naturally did not dare show any neglect. Seeing that purple-robed female Celestial Official look over, the three of them hurriedly bent at the waist and saluted.

The oldest among them, Li Changsheng, cupped his hands and said, "You must be Ma Tianguan. The four of us have all come to receive punishment for violating the rules of the Seventh City of Candle Dragon. For the next several hundred thousand years, we’ll have to trouble Ma Tianguan and the other two Celestial Officials for much guidance! We hope Ma Tianguan can tell us the rules here. We will certainly abide by them properly!"

Lin Xuankong naturally wouldn’t try to steal the limelight at a time like this, and followed beside the three Li brothers, bowing in salute as well.

Seeing this, that purple-robed female Celestial Official led the other two gray-robed female Celestial Officials over. Her eyes swept across the four of them, then she spoke:

"Grand Celestial Official Wu has already informed me of your situation, all four of you!

Since Grand Celestial Official Wu personally gave instructions, you don’t need to be so restrained. After all, all the major and minor affairs of this Seven Cities Construction Hall are decided by Grand Celestial Official Wu!"

Hearing this, the surrounding Divine Mountain Warriors who were likewise being punished all froze in expression. Some Divine Mountain Warriors who had just finished inscribing the Array Patterns in their hands revealed envy in their eyes when they looked toward Lin Xuankong and the three from the Li Family. A few Divine Mountain Warriors whose bodies bore quite strong Immortal Yuan Fluctuations even showed a somewhat indignant look on their faces. It was obvious that when these likewise-punished Divine Mountain Warriors first arrived at this Second Division, Ma Tianguan had definitely not been this polite to them; otherwise, they wouldn’t be reacting like this.

Seeing this, the three from the Li Family all had a flash in their eyes, surprise surfacing at the bottom of their gaze.

A single "instruction" from Grand Celestial Official Wu could actually be so effective... This meant that their days here in the Second Division of the Seven Cities Construction Hall would likely be much better! Even though they were all here to do penal labor, at the very least they wouldn’t have to worry about being bullied by some Divine Mountain Warriors who arrived earlier, just because they were newcomers. After all, no matter where you are, there are always small cliques and a pecking order between those who came first and later!

At this moment, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but give the three from the Li Family another look, muttering inwardly: It seems I’ve managed to bask in some of the Li Family’s glow as well. That fat-faced, small-eyed Li Changming’s earlier boasting wasn’t entirely hot air!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Li Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "Ma Tianguan is truly too kind. After all, we are all men with crimes on our heads! In the future, whatever orders Ma Tianguan may have, the four of us will certainly give our all and will not make a single mistake again to put Ma Tianguan in a difficult spot!"

The purple-robed Ma Tianguan nodded. "Mm, it’s good that you understand this. Although Grand Celestial Official Wu has spoken on your behalf, you are here as Divine Mountain Warriors after all. And having come to this Second Division, your foremost priority is to complete the various tasks assigned by the Construction Hall!"

Speaking up to this point, the purple-robed Ma Tianguan glanced at a female Celestial Official beside her and said:

"Yu, these four newcomers will be handed over to your Third Group!

First arrange proper lodgings for them, then go to the Second Division’s storage room to collect some Immortal Artifacts for Array Pattern inscription. After that, teach them how to engrave Array Patterns and give them some discarded stone materials to practice on. Once they can guarantee an eighty percent success rate when engraving Array Patterns, you can assign them proper work!"

The female Celestial Official called Yu cupped her hands in acceptance when she heard this, then led Lin Xuankong and the other three toward the Divine Mountain Warrior Residence on one side.

As they walked,

Li Changsheng cupped his hands to the female Celestial Official named Yu and said, "From now on, the four of us will all be working under you, Celestial Official. We still don’t know how to address you properly, Celestial Official?"

Lin Xuankong also carefully studied this female Celestial Official. Since he would be working under her in the future, she was effectively his direct superior, so he naturally had to get to know her well!

This female Celestial Official named Yu, while not as delicately beautiful as Ma Tianguan, had a round face and large eyes, looking quite young, with a somewhat lively and cute air about her! Of course, Lin Xuankong would never believe that this seemingly youthful, lively, and cute female Celestial Official was actually some young girl. In this Supreme Origin Realm, any Cultivator whose Cultivation had taken shape possessed a near-infinite Lifespan! No matter how young she looked, this woman in front of him was most likely at least a several-hundred-thousand-year-old, if not several-million-year-old, "Heavenly Mountain Lady"!
