"Mr. Lin Xiao, you... you have already seen through it?"
Looking at the calm and composed Xiao Lin, Feng Xian asked with both shock and joy.
The shock, naturally, came from the fact that Xiao Lin could see through the predicament facing the Falling Star Pavilion with a single glance. The joy was because he felt that since Xiao Lin could identify the problem, he must be able to solve it!
"Without that kind of ability, how would I dare to accept this commission from the Falling Star Pavilion?"
Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Indeed, even before Xiao Lin followed Xu Mo into the Sky Star Mountain Range and set foot inside the Falling Star Pavilion, he had already sensed that something was wrong with the sect's Guardian Grand Formation.
In the eyes of a Spiritual Array Master like him, that leaking aura was simply too obvious!
Therefore, Xiao Lin had already determined back then what the Falling Star Pavilion's purpose was in seeking a Formation Master. It wasn't to ask a Formation Master to help set up a new formation, but rather to repair their malfunctioning Guardian Grand Formation!
One must know that the importance of a Guardian Grand Formation to a sect is almost self-evident. Just imagine, if the Falling Star Pavilion were to encounter an attack from a hostile force one day while the Guardian Grand Formation was compromised, it would be nothing short of a disaster.
This was exactly why the upper management of the Falling Star Pavilion, including the Vice Pavilion Master Feng Xian, was so anxious.
At the same time, because their own Guardian Grand Formation had developed a problem—a matter of such gravity—the entire Falling Star Pavilion naturally didn't dare to broadcast it to the outside world.
That was why Xu Mo didn't dare to reveal the issue before Xiao Lin officially accepted the commission.
Everything made sense now.
"Since that is the case, Mr. Lin Xiao, do you have a way to solve this problem? Now, I can speak plainly. Some time ago, for reasons unknown, our Guardian Grand Formation—the Great Falling Star Formation—suddenly stopped functioning."
"This is the reason why our Falling Star Pavilion sought a Formation Master from the outside. Regarding the earlier testing, I am truly and deeply sorry!"
As the current actual person in charge of the Falling Star Pavilion, Feng Xian bowed slightly to Xiao Lin with a solemn expression.
This was both a plea for help and an apology for arranging for Xu Mo's teacher to test Xiao Lin.
"There is no need for this, Feng Zun Zhe. I can understand your feelings. As a Formation Master, how could I have any reason to refuse when faced with a formation problem? However..."
This was Xiao Lin preparing to negotiate terms.
He wasn't running a charity, so naturally, he had to ask for the compensation he deserved.
"However what? Please speak directly, Mr. Lin Xiao. As long as my Falling Star Pavilion possesses it, we will surely offer it with both hands!"
Compared to the risk of sect disciples falling into danger due to a faulty Guardian Grand Formation, mere external possessions were nothing in Feng Xian's eyes. It could be said that Feng Xian and Yao Lao were truly best friends; their philosophies were identical.
To them, people were more important than things!
"Good, then I shall not be polite! Feng Zun Zhe, I can indeed repair this Great Falling Star Formation! But after the repair is complete, I require Meteoric Metal and Star Sand!"
"No problem!"
Xiao Lin had just finished stating his conditions when Feng Xian agreed immediately.
It was clear that he didn't even stop to consider it!
This straightforward action from Feng Xian caused Xiao Lin to be momentarily stunned.
But he quickly felt a sense of relief.
Perhaps it was precisely because the upper management of the Falling Star Pavilion cared so much for their disciples that the entire sect was so harmonious and the disciples felt such a strong sense of belonging.
"Mr. Lin Xiao, do you need to rest for a while and adjust your state before repairing the Great Falling Star Formation?"
The terms were settled, so next was the matter of repairing the Guardian Grand Formation.
Although Feng Xian was anxious, as the host, he still had to show consideration for Xiao Lin, the guest who could help the Falling Star Pavilion.
"There's no need. There is no time like the present; I can help the Falling Star Pavilion repair the Great Falling Star Formation right now!"
Xiao Lin didn't want to procrastinate.
As a Dou Zun powerhouse, how could he get tired so easily?
"Good! Then Mr. Lin Xiao, please follow me!"
Immediately, Feng Xian led Xiao Lin out of the main hall and toward another location.
As for Xu Mo's teacher, he naturally did not follow them.
From here on, only Feng Xian, the current person in charge of the Falling Star Pavilion, needed to lead Xiao Lin. Soon, Feng Xian brought Xiao Lin to a black stone tower within the Falling Star Pavilion.
This stone tower was located on the back mountain of the Falling Star Pavilion's Star Realm. This was the place where the Star Power was most peak within the Star Realm, as it happened to be the convergence point for the Star Power of that meteorite from beyond the heavens.
The top floor of the stone tower was about three to four zhang wide. Inside was a black stone platform. Above the platform was a half-zhang wide opening; looking through the opening, one could see the clear sky.
As for this meteorite, it could not only condense Star Power but also draw in Star Power from beyond the heavens, and the stone platform was the meeting point of these two gravitational pulls!
Currently, Xiao Lin and Feng Xian were standing atop this stone platform.
The moment he arrived here, all the pores on Xiao Lin's body couldn't help but slightly dilate. Even though he did nothing, a continuous stream of Star Power still drilled into his body through his pores.
Three days!
Xiao Lin wasn't boasting; he was confident that if he cultivated here for three days, he could break through to the Five-Star Dou Zun level!
The Star Power here was so rich that Xiao Lin almost wanted to just lie down and sleep.
At this moment, Xiao Lin finally understood why there was such dense Star Power within the Falling Star Pavilion. It turned out that the meteorite before his eyes was drawing in Star Power into the Falling Star Pavilion every single moment!
The Falling Star Pavilion had been established for decades. Imagine just how massive an amount of Star Power had been gathered here!
At the same time, upon seeing this meteorite, a different idea formed in Xiao Lin's mind.
"Feng Zun Zhe, regarding the condition I mentioned earlier, would it be possible to change it?"
Suppressing his excitement, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask.
"Oh? Mr. Lin Xiao is too polite. Please, feel free to speak!"
Feng Xian had no intention of refusing.
Seeing this, the excitement in Xiao Lin's eyes became even harder to conceal.
"Phew... Feng Zun Zhe, after completing the repairs to the Great Falling Star Formation, I would like to cut a small piece from this meteorite as my reward. What do you think?"
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Lin proposed his new condition.
Yes, in Xiao Lin's eyes right now, some Meteoric Metal or Star Sand wasn't worth a single hair of the meteorite before him!
Normally speaking, a meteorite is a grade lower than Meteoric Metal.
One is stone and the other is metal; that already says enough. But the meteorite in front of Xiao Lin was an exception. If he wasn't guessing wrong, this meteorite was definitely not as simple as an ordinary meteorite!
Judging by the Star Power it contained and its ability to draw in Star Power, there was a high probability that this meteorite was a fragment left over after the explosion of a certain star.
In other words, a Star Fragment!
