“That’s the essence-gathering tower you’re messing with! What do you know about it?! Stop right now!”
“Are you trying to get everyone killed?!!!”
Everyone was bellowing at the same time, drowning each other out.
However, Feng Wu wouldn’t have given a damn even if she could make out what they were saying.
The only thing she cared about was her family’s safety!
Just as Master Lin went berserk and jumped at Feng Wu, Feng Wu cast him a stern look. “The essence-gathering tower’s main line is blocked; three of the auxiliary lines are broken and five of the nodes are jammed. What good will it do to keep stuffing in more spiritual crystals? Do you know anything about repairing the tower at all?!”
That successfully baffled Master Lin. He was going to say that it wasn’t his fault. As a Level 2 formation master, he was already stretching himself thin by maintaining the tower’s operation daily. How was he supposed to know how to repair it? That would require a Level 3 formation master at least!
As the saying went: the insider knew the ropes, while the outsider was just along for the ride. Master Lin was immediately convinced by Feng Wu’s words.
Feng Wu said grumpily, “Pass me the rotary file.”
As the town’s formation master, Master Lin held a prominent position in Wanping Town, second only to General Wu. He almost lost his temper at Feng Wu’s direct reproach. However, before he realized it, he had handed Feng Wu the rotary file as told.
General Wu couldn’t believe his eyes.
Master Lin was notorious for his bad temper. He was self-assured, lofty, and hopelessly unapproachable. The townsfolk would have beaten him up a long time ago if it wasn’t for his status as the formation master. But now, he was taking orders from a teenage girl?
With the rotary file in one hand, Feng Wu proceeded to repair the main line right away.
Fixing her attention on the main line, she dredged it with the rotary file in one hand and reached out to Master Lin with the other. “Spiritual crystal, a large one.
“Spiritual crystal, a medium one.
“Spiritual crystal, a small one.
“King Beast Bone, long.
“King Beast Bone, short.”

As Feng Wu hammered at the essence-gathering tower here and there, she asked Master Lin to pass her the various parts she needed.
She had to repair the physical structure of the tower as well as sort out the complicated circuits inside according to the rules of spiritual formation. She was completely absorbed in her work and the look on her face was serious and calm.
Time passed quickly.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
Those around the tower were so nervous that they thought their hearts were going to jump out of their mouths!
“Five, four, three, two, one!”
Yan Yan’s mind went blank as the countdown finished. Something seemed to explode in her chest!
Oh god, the essence-gathering formation was going to fall apart now and they were all going to die…
Eyes closed as she waited for death to arrive, Yan Yan, however, was surprised to realize something.
Why didn’t she hear anything?
Opening her eyes, she saw that everyone around her was staring at the girl up on the wall in astonishment.
Feng Wu was a great beauty to begin with. When she was completely focused on her work, she looked like she was glowing! She looked breathtakingly beautiful!
Feeling her head with her hands, Yan Yan cried out in disbelief. “The essence-gathering tower is still intact! The formation is still working! The magical beasts haven’t broken in!”
General Wu was as shocked as everyone else was.
Didn’t Master Lin say that… Could Master Lin have made a mistake?
Right now, Master Lin was staring at Feng Wu unblinkingly, his gaze intense and fervent!
Because after she put a spiritual crystal into the tower, the dim essence-gathering formation had brightened up a little!
And what did that mean? It meant that the formation had been fixed! At the very least, the main line was working now!
