Let's start by analyzing the sun

Grand Hall Master Lan Jiayao of the Profound Palace had spent over sixty years in the Profound Palace, overlooking the "Huanlan Mountain" of Heavenly Ring C countless times.

Huanlan Mountain was approximately six kilometers in circumference, with its highest point reaching just over a thousand meters. The "Lanbo Lake" at its center spanned less than three kilometers at its longest point.

Due to the rugged terrain and dense forests covering the mountain, which were often haunted by tree spirits and similar entities, it was usually deserted.

The female Profound Master genuinely couldn't understand what Special Envoy Cheng was doing at Huanlan Mountain.

Was he just bored?

A minute later.

The maidservant peered through the porthole and whispered, "I see Huanlan Mountain!"

Dozens of kilometers ahead, the outline of Huanlan Mountain emerged, along with a patch of azure at its center.

Today, it was rare that it wasn't raining, and the sky was relatively bright. Lanbo Lake shimmered, like a pearl embedded on the surface of the Heavenly Ring.

Lan Jiayao turned her head to look and was immediately stunned.

Because the scene before her was vastly different from what she remembered.

With her powerful eyesight, she could clearly see that a road had been carved out of the dense forest on the eastern side of the mountain.

Another road inside led directly to Lanbo Lake.

The steps of both roads were extremely uniform, with each step having the same height and width, and stone railings erected on both sides.

Looking at it, it exuded a sense of neat, uniform beauty.

The Hall Master remembered something and murmured in surprise, "Could Special Envoy Cheng's purpose here be to practice Stone Spirit-based Profound Arts?"

These steps were unbelievably neat, and didn't look like they were manually carved. They seemed more like the effect of Stone Spirit-based Profound Arts.

Special Envoy Cheng happened to be comprehending the Zhen Kuang Profound Seal, which seemed like a logical answer.

Lan Jiayao felt something was amiss and turned to the maidservant, asking, "What was Special Envoy Cheng doing at Huanlan Mountain yesterday?"

The maidservant was taken aback and quickly replied, "The Scarlet Armor Army warrior who reported said that the Special Envoy was just strolling around the mountain, and didn't do anything else."

The female Profound Master was a little incredulous: "Special Envoy Cheng really didn't do anything else?"

The number of stone steps on the road was definitely no less than five thousand, plus the stone railings on both sides. If what the maidservant said was true, it meant that all this had appeared overnight.

Even a Profound Practitioner proficient in Stone Spirit-based Profound Arts couldn't do this.

The maidservant shook her head affirmatively: "Indeed, he didn't."

Lan Jiayao felt a little confused in her mind.

She was one hundred percent certain that Special Envoy Cheng had not officially condensed the Zhen Kuang Profound Seal, so how could he have created all this overnight?

Soon.

The Profound Ark approached within fifteen kilometers.

The Grand Hall Master made more discoveries.

On the other side of Huanlan Mountain, the western side, an octagonal stone water tower rose from the ground, supported by the mountain's terrain.

And beneath the stone tower, a large, dense mass of small black dots gathered.

The latter was obviously a crowd of people.

Although the stone tower didn't look very tall compared to the majestic mountain.

In reality, this thing's height definitely exceeded a hundred meters, which was undoubtedly a more massive construction project than the road.

At least ten times larger!

Lan Jiayao was shocked.

Could it be that a Stone Spirit-based Profound Master had taken action?

The next second.

The female Profound Master immediately rejected the guess.

That's impossible!

Among the various Profound Arts, due to the nature of the Profound Arts, Stone Spirit-based Profound Arts were a kind of Profound Art that was quite difficult to comprehend.

There were a total of forty-eight Profound Masters in the Profound Palace, none of whom cultivated this Profound Art, and only thirty-odd of the five thousand Profound Practitioners had mastered the first-level Stone Spirit-based Profound Art.

Lan Jiayao looked at the crowd of people under the stone tower and ordered, "Don't go over there yet. Find a quiet place to land."

Her heart was filled with curiosity, and she planned to figure out the situation first before meeting Special Envoy Cheng to discuss business.

After all, if she was always being surprised by her subordinates, would the Grand Hall Master still have any face left?

*

Half an hour later.

Lan Jiayao confirmed one thing—the hundred-meter-high stone tower and the two roads had indeed appeared overnight.

There were two sources of information.

One was the nearby residents.

Many civilians nearby had repeatedly heard loud "rumbling" noises coming from Huanlan Mountain last night, and this morning they discovered the roads and stone tower.

The second was the "Heavenly Defense Hall" responsible for guarding the Heavenly Ring.

The Hall Masters of each hall in the Profound Palace were equipped with a dedicated communication Profound Artifact. The Grand Hall Master specifically contacted the people of the Heavenly Defense Hall.

"Special Envoy Cheng summoned an army of vine puppets, estimated to be over eight hundred. Profound Practitioner 'Long Chuan' from our hall went to check the situation and was completely dumbfounded.

"This guy almost thought the Profound Palace was under attack and was planning to return to the hall for support. Fortunately, Special Envoy Cheng discovered him, which prevented a big joke."

Lan Jiayao was astonished.

More than eight hundred vine puppets? Even a Profound Master who cultivated Wood Spirit-based Profound Arts probably couldn't do that, right?

Wasn't the Lingmiao Wansen Profound Seal too powerful?!

"These vine puppets are quite powerful, splitting out many thin vines to drill into the stones, and can quickly create steps. Special Envoy Cheng then slightly modified them with Stone Spirit-based Profound Arts.

"Profound Practitioner Long Chuan from our hall believes that Special Envoy Cheng can carve flowers on the railings with a wave of his hand, and he shouldn't be far from condensing the Profound Seal..."

The Grand Hall Master's eyes flashed, and a rare impulse to curse welled up in her heart.

Carving flowers?

He actually had the leisure to do that!

Lan Jiayao asked further, "What about the stone tower?"

The other party's answer came immediately.

"Special Envoy Cheng said that he heard that a dozen or so villages nearby didn't have running water, so he planned to build a water tower to provide running water to the civilians.

"The Special Envoy also said that the terrain of Lanbo Lake is relatively high, and the running water can be continuous and inexhaustible, so there's no need to use grey crystal machinery to pump water.

"The water tower was also built by the vine puppets. Their strength is quite amazing. A dozen or so puppets can easily lift a giant rock weighing one hundred thousand pounds.

"This giant hundred-meter-high water tower was completed in just one hour. Special Envoy Cheng just used Profound Arts to block the gaps between the stones."

The female Profound Master felt extremely strange after hearing the answer.

She instantly understood the logic. The reason Special Envoy Cheng was strolling around the mountain earlier was not to wander around, but to survey the terrain to prepare for the project.

But the problem was, the dignified Special Envoy of the Profound Palace, and the Deputy Hall Master of the Tianrong Hall, wasn't doing many serious things, and came here to build roads and water towers.

Wasn't he too much of a troublemaker?!

Lan Jiayao sighed inwardly and asked the last question, "I saw thousands of civilians gathered near the water tower. What's going on?"

The other party answered every question: "Special Envoy Cheng explained that there are a lot of fish resources in Lanbo Lake, and it's too wasteful if no one catches them.

"The Special Envoy specifically designed a special structure in the water tower. The process of the water tower drawing water from the lake also caught a lot of fish.

"Those civilians probably heard that free fish was being distributed here at the water tower, so they all ran over to collect it."

Everything was explained.

After chatting for a few more sentences.

The communication was cut off.

Lan Jiayao put away the Profound Artifact, feeling that it was really hard to describe her mood.

Although I know that geniuses always have different styles of doing things.

But wasn't this Special Envoy too different?

The female Profound Master had lived for nearly two hundred years. Since Special Envoy Cheng came to the Profound Palace, the strange things he had done were more than all of her previous life combined.

The maidservant asked softly, "Hall Master, are you going to see Special Envoy Cheng?"

Lan Jiayao was about to nod when a somewhat absurd thought suddenly popped into her head.

She revealed a smile that melted the iceberg and shook her head, "Let's not meet for the time being. First, change into civilian clothes and go get free fish."

The maidservant was stunned.

Has the Hall Master gone mad?

There will be a third update tonight.
