Chapter 302: [301] Geniuses are always different, has the Palace Master gone mad?

The Palace Master, Xuan Shi Lan Jia Yao, has been in the Xuan Palace for over sixty years and has overlooked the "Huan Lan Mountain" of the Binghao Tianhuan countless times.

Huan Lan Mountain has a diameter of about six kilometers, with the highest point being just over a thousand meters. The central "Lan Bo Lake" has a span of less than three kilometers.

Due to the rugged terrain and dense forests covering the mountain, strange things like tree spirits often appear, so it is rarely visited by people.

The female Xuan Shi couldn't understand why Cheng, the special envoy, went to Huan Lan Mountain.

Is he so bored?

One minute later.

The maid looked out through the porthole and whispered, "I see Huan Lan Mountain!"

The outline of Huan Lan Mountain and a touch of blue appeared tens of kilometers ahead.

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

Lan Jia Yao turned her head and was immediately stunned.

Because the scene there was different from what she remembered.

With her powerful eyesight, she clearly saw that a road had been opened in the dense forest on the eastern side of the mountain, she didn't know when.

There was also a road on the inner side that led directly to Lan Bo Lake.

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

Looking at it, it exuded a sense of neatness and uniformity.

The Palace Master Xuan Shi remembered something and murmured in astonishment, "Could Cheng, the special envoy, be here to cultivate the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa?"

These steps were so unbelievably neat, they didn't look like they were artificially carved, but more like the effect of the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa.

Cheng, the special envoy, happened to be comprehending the Shocking Boom Xuan Seal, and this seemed to be a logical answer.

But Lan Jia Yao felt that something was not quite right and turned to the maid and asked, "What was Cheng, the special envoy, doing at Huan Lan Mountain yesterday?"

The maid hesitated for a moment and quickly replied, "The soldiers of the Red Armor Army who reported said that the special envoy was just wandering around the mountain and didn't do anything else."

The female Xuan Shi found it hard to believe, "Cheng, the special envoy, 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 maid said was true, it meant that all of this appeared overnight.

Even a Xuan Shi who was proficient in the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa couldn't achieve this.

The maid nodded affirmatively, "Indeed, he didn't."

Lan Jia Yao felt a bit confused.

She was one hundred percent sure that Cheng, the special envoy, hadn't formally condensed the Shocking Boom Xuan Seal, so how did he create all of this overnight?

Soon after, the Xuan Boat approached within fifteen kilometers.

The Palace Master Xuan Shi made more discoveries.

On the other side of Huan Lan Mountain, the western side, there was an octagonal stone water tower rising from the mountain.

And beneath the stone tower, there was a large group of tiny black dots.

The latter was obviously a crowd.

Although compared to the towering peaks, this stone tower didn't look tall.

In fact, the height of this thing was definitely over a hundred meters, making it undoubtedly a much larger construction project than the road.

At least ten times bigger!

Lan Jia Yao was shocked.

Could it be that a Xuan Shi proficient in the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa made a move?

The next moment, the female Xuan Shi immediately dismissed the speculation.

That's impossible!

Among the various Xuan Fa, due to the nature of the Xuan Fa, the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa is a kind of Xuan Fa with a relatively high difficulty in comprehension.

Among the forty-eight Xuan Shi in the Xuan Palace, not a single one cultivates this Xuan Fa, and among the over five thousand Xuan Shi, only over thirty people have mastered the first level of the Stone Spirit Xuan Fa.

Lan Jia Yao looked at the crowd below the stone tower and ordered, "Don't approach the Xuan Boat for now, find a secluded place to land."

Her mind was filled with curiosity, and she planned to first understand the situation before discussing official matters with Cheng, the special envoy.

After all, if she kept being surprised by her subordinates, would the face of the Palace Master Xuan Shi still be there?

*

Half an hour later.

Lan Jiayao confirmed one thing - whether it was a hundred-meter-high stone tower or two roads, they had actually appeared overnight.

There were two sources of information.

The first was the nearby residents.

Many civilians in the vicinity heard the "rumbling" sound coming from Huanlan Mountain several times last night, and this morning they discovered the new roads and stone tower.

The second was the "Heavenly Guard Hall" responsible for guarding Tianhuan.

Each palace in Xuan Palace is equipped with a dedicated communication Xuan device. The palace Xuan master contacted the people from the Heavenly Guard Hall.

"Special Envoy Cheng summoned an army of vine puppets, estimated to be over eight hundred. The 'Longchuan' Xuan master who went to investigate the situation on behalf of the palace was dumbfounded.

"This guy almost thought that Xuan Palace was under attack and was planning to return to the palace to request support. Fortunately, Special Envoy Cheng found him, avoiding a big joke."

Lan Jiayao was extremely surprised.

Over eight hundred vine puppets? Even Xuan masters who practice wood spirit Xuan magic probably couldn't do this, right?

Isn't the Lingmiao Wansen Xuan Seal too powerful?

"These vine puppets are quite powerful. They split into many thin vines that penetrate the stone and quickly create steps. Mr. Special Envoy then used stone spirit Xuan magic to make some adjustments.

"The Longchuan Xuan master of the palace believes that with a wave of Special Envoy Cheng's hand, he can carve patterns on the railing. It shouldn't be long before he can condense the Xuan Seal..."

The eyes of the palace Xuan master flickered, and he rarely felt the urge to curse.

Carving patterns?

Do they really have the leisure for that?

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

The answer came immediately.

"Special Envoy Cheng said that he heard that there are no tap water in the dozen or so nearby villages, so he planned to build a water tower to provide tap water for the civilians.

"Mr. Special Envoy also said that the terrain of Lanbo Lake is higher, and tap water can flow continuously without the need for gray crystal machinery.

"The water tower was also built by the vine puppets. Their strength is quite astonishing. A dozen puppets can easily lift a hundred thousand catty boulder.

"This hundred-meter-high giant water tower was completed in just an hour. Special Envoy Cheng only used Xuan magic to seal the gaps between the stones."

After listening to the answer, the female Xuan master's mood became extremely strange.

She instantly understood the logic. Previously, Special Envoy Cheng was not strolling around the mountain, but exploring the terrain to prepare for the project.

But the problem is, the prestigious envoy of Xuan Palace, also the deputy palace master of Tianrong Hall, instead of doing many important things, came here to build roads and water towers.

Isn't he too restless?

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

The other party answered without hesitation, "Special Envoy Cheng explained that there are a lot of fish resources in Lanbo Lake, which are usually wasted without anyone catching them.

"Mr. Special Envoy specially designed a special structure in the water tower, and during the process of drawing water from the lake, they also caught a lot of fish.

"Those civilians probably heard that fish are being distributed for free near the water tower, so they all came to collect them."

Everything was explained.

After chatting for a few more sentences.

The communication was cut off.

Lan Jiayao put away the Xuan device, feeling indescribably complicated.

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

But is this Special Envoy too different?

As a female Xuan master who has lived for nearly two hundred years, since Special Envoy Cheng came to Xuan Palace, he has done more strange things than she did in the first half of her life.

The maid asked softly, "Madam Palace Master, do you want to see Special Envoy Cheng?"

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

She showed a smile like an iceberg melting and shook her head, "Not for now. Let's change into civilian clothes and go over to get the free fish."

The maid was stunned.

Has the Palace Master gone mad?

There is still the third update tonight.
