Xiao Lin had already made up his mind.
Once he completed the Falling Star Pavilion's commission and obtained the Meteoric Metal and Star Sand, he would find a way to get the Feng Zun Zhe to agree to let him stay here for a period of time!
The cultivation environment here was simply too suitable for Xiao Lin!
But for now, there was clearly official business to attend to.
Sure enough, after entering the Falling Star Pavilion with Xu Mo, Xiao Lin was quickly led to meet Xu Mo's master.
"Hmm? Xu Mo, why are you back?"
Upon seeing his disciple return in the evening after leaving the sect in the morning, Xu Mo's master was a bit dumbfounded.
Was the mission he assigned to his disciple really that easy to complete? It shouldn't be!
One must know that Formation Masters were not common even across the entire Central Plains. After all, among those who could cultivate Dou Qi, who would specifically go out of their way to study formations?
Perhaps some people would briefly research the path of formations when they hit a bottleneck. But in this world, a Formation Master was ultimately considered a niche profession. Therefore, normally speaking, finding a Formation Master was by no means an easy task.
"Master, I have already completed the mission and brought back a Formation Master!"
Xu Mo knew his master would react this way, so he didn't hide anything and spoke directly.
"Oh? You found one so quickly? Then hurry and bring them in!"
Hearing his disciple say this, although Xu Mo's master was surprised, he was quite happy.
A teacher knows his own disciple; he believed his disciple wouldn't make something out of nothing regarding a matter like this.
Very soon, Xiao Lin, who had been silently absorbing the ubiquitous Power of the Stars outside, entered the main hall where Xu Mo's master was located. As Xiao Lin stepped into the hall, the expression on the face of Xu Mo's master instantly became solemn.
He could not see through the cultivation of this Formation Master brought back by his disciple!
There were only two possibilities: either the other party had no Dou Qi cultivation at all and was purely a Formation Master, or the other party was not only a Formation Master but also a person whose Dou Qi cultivation surpassed his own!
He was currently a Four-Star Dou Zong!
Judging by temperament alone, Xu Mo's master did not believe Xiao Lin was a person without any Dou Qi cultivation.
"May I ask for your name, sir?"
After considering this, Xu Mo's master lowered his posture significantly.
"Lin Xiao, just a man from the mountains."
Xiao Lin spoke modestly.
Even though Xiao Lin said this, Xu Mo's master didn't dare to neglect him. After all, the problem currently occurring in the Falling Star Pavilion still required a Formation Master to solve!
"Mr. Lin Xiao, during your journey into the Falling Star Pavilion, did you happen to discover any abnormalities?"
This sentence from Xu Mo's master was essentially a probe.
The level of a Formation Master could be high or low.
Xu Mo's master absolutely believed that Xiao Lin was a Formation Master!
Because his disciple would not lie to him.
But as for exactly what Xiao Lin's level in formations was, that remained to be seen.
If Xiao Lin could discover the abnormalities encountered along the way, he would immediately take him to see the Pavilion Master, and the affairs of the Falling Star Pavilion could be entrusted to him.
But if the other party could not discover the abnormalities, it would prove that his level in formations was insufficient. In that case, the secrets concerning their Falling Star Pavilion could not be revealed to him.
Of course, since the other party was invited by his own disciple, the Falling Star Pavilion would still treat him to a good meal and drink before escorting him away.
This was exactly what their Pavilion Master had instructed, after all.
When Xiao Lin heard the question from Xu Mo's master, he merely let out a light chuckle.
"Are you referring to the formation in this hall that is currently trapping me, or are you asking how many formations I saw along the way from the moment I entered the Falling Star Pavilion until I reached this spot?"
"If it's the latter, I can tell you the answer is seven; all of them are trivial, low-level formations. As for the formation in this hall, while it has some substance, I'm afraid you can't activate it right now. When I entered this place, I already disabled the formation's activation point."
Under the stunned gaze of Xu Mo's master, Xiao Lin smilingly provided the answer.
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, Xu Mo's master struck out with a palm, sending a streak of Dou Qi toward a certain corner of the hall.
Sure enough, this streak of Dou Qi, which should have activated the formation within the hall, struck the empty air and produced no reaction whatsoever!
"Mr. Lin Xiao is truly formidable! To think you not only saw through the various formations along the way at a single glance but were also able to disable the formation in this hall soundlessly! You truly live up to being a Formation Master!"
Xu Mo's master could not help but sigh in admiration at this moment.
This was the test the Falling Star Pavilion gave to any Formation Master accepting the commission. Of course, the formation in this hall didn't actually need to be disabled by the applicant; they only needed to see through it.
However, Xiao Lin had simply done a little more.
At this moment, Xu Mo's master no longer had any doubts about Xiao Lin's identity as a Formation Master!
"Just a few small tricks. Furthermore, I didn't actually destroy the formation in this hall."
As he spoke, Xiao Lin mimicked Xu Mo's master, striking a palm of Dou Qi toward a specific corner of the hall.
Weng~
In the next second, the formation within the room was activated!
This gave Xu Mo's master, who had thought the formation was already destroyed, a massive fright.
"Mr. Lin, stop quickly, that's enough!"
Seeing that the formation in the hall was about to launch an attack, Xu Mo's master hurriedly spoke up.
Shua~
Immediately, Xiao Lin simply waved his sleeve, and the formation within the hall came to a halt. It wasn't until the grand formation stopped that Xu Mo's master finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This wasn't just a Formation Master; this was clearly a Formation Grandmaster!
With this, the problem facing their Falling Star Pavilion could finally be resolved.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, please follow me. I will take you to see our Pavilion Master!"
By now, Xu Mo's master had clearly acknowledged Xiao Lin's capabilities.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin did not refuse and directly nodded in agreement. Subsequently, Xu Mo's master led Xiao Lin straight toward the main pavilion of the Falling Star Pavilion!
Once the two entered the main pavilion, what they saw was an elderly man with a furrowed brow.
The old man wore a green robe, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders, giving him a sense of being free and easy. His facial features were far from ordinary; even though he was now advanced in years, one could still vaguely see a hint of handsomeness.
He must have been a great heartthrob in his youth.
This was the Vice Pavilion Master of the Falling Star Pavilion, Feng Xian.
Outsiders called him Feng Zun Zhe!
"Pavilion Master, the Formation Master has been found. It is this Mr. Lin Xiao! Mr. Lin Xiao, this is my Falling Star Pavilion's Pavilion Master Feng!"
Upon meeting Feng Xian, Xu Mo's master immediately performed the introductions for the two.
At the same time, Feng Xian cast his gaze upon Xiao Lin.
"I have long heard of Feng Zun Zhe's great name. Seeing you today, it truly lives up to the reputation!"
Xiao Lin spoke with polite formality.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, welcome to my Falling Star Pavilion. The trouble my Falling Star Pavilion has encountered this time will require Mr. Lin Xiao's full assistance!"
As he spoke, Feng Xian's originally furrowed brow gradually relaxed.
It was good that a Formation Master had arrived!
"Feng Zun Zhe, actually, after stepping into the Sky Star Mountain Range, I already knew what difficulty the Falling Star Pavilion was facing. If my judgment is correct, the Falling Star Pavilion's Guardian Grand Formation must have encountered a problem, right?"
Xiao Lin had a smile on his face as he spoke with an air of confidence.
However, while Xiao Lin said it lightly, the shock on the faces of Feng Xian and Xu Mo's master at this moment was beyond words; even greater waves of astonishment surged in their hearts!
