第一千一百六十三章 银针定衍法

After a moment of contemplation, Li Fan shook his head and woke up from his reverie.

Even with the ability to analyze the fishing pool, Li Fan wouldn't easily choose to act. The terrifying scene of Senior Stone Plate being mysteriously reeled away was still vivid in his mind. How could he possibly risk repeating that mistake for a small gain?

With the lessons learned from the 119th era, before he dared to confront beings at the True Immortal level head-on, he would never provoke them again.

The treasures within the fishing pool could be acquired through continuous fishing over time. He lacked nothing in patience.

"If we can derive the effects of the Great Array of Boundless and Primordial Vision, perhaps it will be worth a try."

His doppelganger briefly checked on his main self before pondering silently.

In the space of Derivative Jewel, time seemed to have no meaning.

Every day was just the same rotating Derivative Light Balls. The little girl had gradually become less fearful under Li Fan's intimidation and now seemed almost unafraid. If not for the other two co-architects guarding here, Li Fan would have made her experience his full power.

But for now, it was better to be cautious. He could only endure for now.

"Friend Sun, calculate the time—there should be a Grand Transmitter arriving to inspect soon. We need to pay attention then," Flower Night suddenly reminded in a voice transmission when most of Li Fan's mind was focused on deriving the Boundless Array.

Indeed, it had been mentioned that transmitters would regularly check during his employment. So he nodded without surprise.

"After the transmitter completes their inspection, they should restart using the Transmitter Jade Talisman. That should make things more lively here."

"Those who seek help from Derivative Jewel to derive techniques are either of noble birth or have extraordinary good fortune. Their future accomplishments will be remarkable. We can leave a good impression while doing our job. Perhaps in a hundred years, this connection might come in handy," Flower Night advised kindly.

Pseudo-Abbot Zhang also agreed: "Exactly. In several centuries, though the space inside Derivative Jewel remains unchanged, the outside world may have changed dramatically. Having an extra path is always better."

Though he was already a co-architect, most who stayed here for five hundred years were not core members of their families. Preparing for the future made sense.

Half a month later, the transmitter arrived as scheduled to inspect.

Transmitter Lang had met Li Fan once in the Transmitter Council.

Ignoring the three guardians, Transmitter Lang smiled and approached the little girl in Derivative Jewel.

The little girl rolled her eyes and covered her ears, pretending not to hear anything.

Transmitter Lang seemed accustomed to this and didn't get annoyed. A row of silver needles appeared beside his hand.

He picked one up and inserted it into Derivative Jewel's head.

The little girl's body trembled slightly but was restrained by some unseen force. She could do nothing but let the silver needles land on different acupoints in her body.

This seemingly cruel scene made Zhang Xu and Flower Night remain silent.

But Li Fan saw through it. His eyes sparkled with understanding.

Transmitter Lang's acupuncture technique wasn't coercive or controlling; rather, it was a top-tier method for nurturing qi and blood and unblocking meridians. Indeed, after waiting half a day and retracting the needles, Derivative Jewel's little girl looked much healthier.

Her rosy face seemed like she had just finished intense exercise.

"Not only is she more healthy, but her human nature has become active again."

Li Fan observed Derivative Jewel closely and noticed something amiss. During their daily interactions, he had noticed that while the little girl sometimes showed human-like temperaments, most of the time, she acted purely mechanical, constantly deriving techniques.

The desire to "slack off" or take a break was likely due to overwork, not inherent.

Moreover, as time passed, this materialistic aspect became more pronounced.

"No wonder transmitters need regular inspections. This is to maintain Derivative Jewel's humanity."

"Perhaps with the simple little girl in charge, Derivative Jewel can function better than purely magical objects."

However, Derivative Jewel had no good feelings towards Transmitter Lang who "helped" her.

She glared angrily at him until he left, then slammed the table and vented her frustration before falling asleep on the long table.

The day after the inspection was a rest period for Derivative Jewel. She slept soundly with heavy snoring.

Li Fan noticed that the giant Derivative Light Ball above her continued to rapidly transform and derive something.

"Interesting," Li Fan mused.

As Flower Night had predicted, once Derivative Jewel resumed its endless work, the limitations on the Transmitter Jade Talisman were lifted.

In addition to its regular derivation tasks, the little girl now had to handle custom technique derivations for transmitters.

No wonder she was so hostile towards these transmitters—except a few handsome ones.

Li Fan's responsibilities as one of the three guardians also increased slightly. After all, they needed to be on high alert for potential attacks from other forces among the transmitters.

Fortunately, this probability wasn't very high. With the three co-architects watching over, it should be safe for now.

...

In the outer void of the Holy Empire's newly opened small world, the original Immortal Barrier Array had been transformed by Li Ping to become part of the Ten Thousand Spirits Great Array.

Li Ping even specially tamed and cultivated a batch of dimensional whales, creating additional virtual space around the new small world as natural protection.

Now, in what should have been empty dark voids, there was a massive object many times larger than the newly opened small world—The Five Elements Great Cave Heaven!

Flower Daoist lived up to expectations by quietly moving it back without disturbing the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. After all, his ancient technique for eternal life made him more powerful than ordinary co-architects.

Of course, this smooth operation was also due to Li Ping's array techniques providing cover and assistance.

Holy Emperor Li Ping looked at the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven from afar, feeling the rapidly multiplying Dao One Worm inside. His expression remained unchanged.

There would be another chapter around 12:30 PM.
