The first materials to be delivered were definitely Mysterious Iron, but even so, it took ten days.
The Mysterious Iron Mine at the Zhao Family Fortress is not large, and the ore is deep underground. The quality of the iron ore is pretty good, but it wasnât easy to gather 3,000 jin.
Then, various other materials kept trickling in until the last one was collected, exactly twenty-one days later.
Feng Jun used the late delivery as an excuse to deliver only thirty agricultural vehicles and twenty all-terrain vehicles.
As for the rest, he had also promised a delivery period of twenty days; he would deliver when the time came.
In fact, this inventory had already emptied the storerooms of the Earth Plane, and that was after he had restocked them.
As for the goods he still owed, it wasnât that he was reluctant to supply them, but to gather more on Earth without attracting attention would take some time.
Of course, time was at a standstill here, so he could make arrangements there, but⦠his parents would be arriving soon.
Before his parentâs arrival, he hoped to make some progress in his research here.

The Princely Heir didnât fuss over it and directly took out a Storage Talisman to collect the vehicles and diesel, entrusting someone to take them back.
He was short of drivers on his part and was still training them, so he wasnât in a rush to press for delivery.
But he was very curious, what did Doctor Feng intend to do with all these materials?
Feng Jun found a flat piece of land and began working on his own; he didnât prohibit them from watching from a distance but made sure they stayed far away, not allowing anyone to approach.
What did he want to do? He wanted to replicate a Spirit Gathering Array!
Originally, he planned to rely on the Earth Realmâs powerful industrial system to replicate the Gathering Spirit Array Plates.
With the Huaxia peopleâs spirit of turning high-end products into common goods, the future Donghua Country⦠would not lack a single Spirit Gathering Array.
However regretfully, he discovered that replication was not successful, and so he began to analyze the Spirit Gathering Array.
Feng Jun was not an engineering student; this was a weak area for him. Indeed, even students from the engineering faculty likely couldnât analyze the Spirit Gathering Arrayâthe students from the Immortal Academy would be more suitable.
But he had the Stone Ring and a mobile phone, and with those, he could analyze pretty much anything.
Especially after the evolution of the Stone Ring, not only did its scanning range increase, but it also gained a function for localized magnification.
During his time on the Earth Realm, Feng Jun thoroughly analyzed the Gathering Spirit Array Plateâfrom the materials to the principles of gathering Spiritual Energy; he had carefully calculated everything.
In principle, he shouldnât have had such foundations, but helplessly, he had a copy of the Basic Talisman Script Introduction on hand.
The basis of talismans is the principle of Spiritual Energy flow. Without this principle, the system of talismans could not have been born.
In fact, he hadnât completely deciphered the Spirit Gathering Array. There were several difficulties he hadnât overcome, but now, he couldnât delay any longer; his parents were about to arrive at Luohua Manor, and it would not be feasible to continue leaving the Gathering Spirit Array Plate there.
In truth, leaving it there wouldnât pose a problem, but he was worried about losing it, as he couldnât explain that to Yu Zhengqing.
If it were just his three disciples, Wang Haifeng, Xu Leigang, and Gazi, he wouldnât be too concerned about them daring to steal the itemâthe twenty or so workers in the manor probably wouldnât have the guts either.
But after Li Xiaobin flaunted it a bit on social media, the situation started to show an uncontrollable trend.
Therefore, he thought he needed to produce a Spirit Gathering Array as soon as possible.
A Spirit Gathering Array⦠of course, was difficult to deal with, and he wasnât completely confident he could succeed, but since he had analyzed most of it, how could he be content without trying it out?
It was precisely because he was embarking on this technological development that he didnât care about the agricultural vehicles and the all-terrain vehicles requested by the Princely Heirâas there had to be investments in technological research and development.
In fact, he didnât consider the items requested by the Princely Heir to be worth much. Even with the diesel, they amounted to just over twenty million yuanâa price of an apartment in Huaxiaâs capital. Was it expensive to develop a Spirit Gathering Array compared to that?
Of course, if the development failed, he wouldnât care; at worst, heâd take Yu Changqingâs Spirit Gathering Array later. No matter what, when his parents visited, he had to provide enough Spiritual Energy to ensure they were so comfortable and content that they wouldnât think of returning.
With a mindset of âIâd rejoice in success and wouldnât be disheartened by failure,â he started working on setting up the Spirit Gathering Array.
However, this setup⦠was consuming too many energy points. He had to check his mobile phone after setting up part of the array, to compare it with the real Spirit Gathering Array to see where there were discrepancies.
And there were quite a few discrepancies. Yu Changqingâs Array Plate was about the size of a car tire, but the Spirit Formation set up by Feng Jun had a diameter of twenty metersâhe couldnât manage to make the formation as condensed, so he had to make it larger to minimize errors.
He also couldnât maneuver the carvings on the Array Plate in such a small space, and the key problem⦠was perhaps still a lack of understanding.
After adjusting three times, he realized, I should just set up the larger array and adjust it slowly; constantly adjusting while setting it up would have no end in sight.
Busy with his tasks, the curiosity of countless people was piqued to the extreme, but Doctor Fengâs current reputation was simply too impressive; no one dared to overstep boundaries to take a peek. From this, one could see that some actions could only be carried out after establishing a formidable reputation, otherwise, many unnecessary complications would arise.
However, immediately following, another even bigger event occurred that successfully shifted everyoneâs attention: in Doctor Fengâs backyard, someone had actually activated a Spirit Gathering Array.
This was not Earth, where spiritual energy was scarce; people had keen sight. The backyard began to gather a massive amount of spiritual energy, anyone with even a bit of cultivation level could guess what happenedânine out of ten times, it was a Spirit Gathering Array.
In fact, many powerful forces had gathered at the foot of Mount Zhige, and what they had in abundance were insightful cultivators. Not just one person could confirm with absolute certainty that it was definitely a Spirit Gathering Array.
With the appearance of the Spirit Gathering Array, nearly everyone was confirmed of Feng Junâs identity as an Immortal. However, what intrigued them more was: Since Feng Jun was not in the backyard, then who exactly was cultivating within the array?
Driven by intense curiosity, really having no choice, everyone thought of the cultivators by Doctor Fengâs side and tried every means to find out the newsâeven if they didnât have the qualifications to meet them, at least they needed to know who to avoid in the future, right?
But how could Yu Changqing possibly let them discern her identity? She was already in disguise, and changing her appearance was a breeze for her. It was indeed her who was cultivating in Feng Junâs backyard, which kept many people at bay.
To speak frankly, if it werenât for Feng Jun taking the heat, she wouldnât even know where else would be appropriate to activate this Spirit Gathering Array.
The onlookers watched for two days and eventually realized that the person cultivating within the Spirit Gathering Array was a strange man they had never seen before.
By then, even fools could guess that the person in the array had probably disguised himself, and although they were inclined to inquire, no one dared to ask Doctor Fengâafter all, the person had changed their appearance because they didnât want you to know.
Yu Changqingâs cultivation level was insufficient to support her cultivating in the Spirit Gathering Array for an extended period. After two days of cultivation, she needed to stop the Spirit Gathering Array to stabilize her realm. Cultivation required fierce and diligent progress, but too rapid a pace could lead to an unstable foundation.
Even though she stopped the Spirit Gathering Array, she did not leave the backyard to avoid those unnecessary entanglements.
She was also very curious about what Feng Jun was doing, but after watching from the rooftop for a while without gaining any insight, she stopped pondering it.
Just as she came down from the rooftop, she suddenly heard a soft noiseââBang.â
The sound was not too loud, but the ground trembled slightly, and the curious crowd turned their heads, their curiosity diminishing considerably.
It turned out Doctor Feng had exploded⦠again, it was another explosion, but people got used to it after a while.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Still, there were people who were secretly watching Feng Jun all along, and they discovered in shock, âThis is⦠could it be the construction of a Spirit Gathering Array?â
The martial cultivators at the foot of Mount Zhige didnât know how to build a Spirit Gathering Array, but they could see that Doctor Feng had placed a Spirit Stone in the center, then executed a series of spells, and then⦠the explosion occurred.
Feng Jun stood in the middle of the formation, feeling quite downcast: There shouldnât have been a problem, so why the explosion?
He had purchased materials in the quantity for ten attempts, some even in surplus, indicating that he was mentally prepared for not succeeding on the first try.
But at this moment, he really felt a bit aggrieved: Iâve checked several times, havenât I? There shouldnât be any problems.
He believed that creating a Spirit Gathering Array from scratch was impossible, but replicating one, imitating like a monkey following a cat, would be much simpler, at the very least, copying took care of the overall structure problem.
As for the circulation of spiritual energy and similar aspects, he had done the calculations, and after detailed analysis, he believed that there were no mistakes in the details either.
Why did it explode then? He was a bit troubled⦠not because of the loss of materials from this explosion, but because he didnât know where the error lay.
This explosion was only a partial one, and the material losses were not substantialâthe most important thing was that the Spirit Stone was not affected, so the loss was completely acceptable.
Feng Jun took out the last video clip and several photos he had taken before starting the formation and began to analyze them meticulously.
While he was analyzing the cause, rumors at the foot of Mount Zhige spread quickly: Doctor Feng seemed to be building a Spirit Gathering Array, but for now, it appeared to have failed.
However, this news didnât tarnish Doctor Fengâs image in everyoneâs eyes at all. After all, a Spirit Gathering Array was not something just anyone could buildâeven among Immortals, those who understood how to construct a Spirit Gathering Array were one in a thousand.
Of course, there were also those who believed that what Feng Jun was building might not necessarily be a Spirit Gathering Arrayâthere were plenty of formations driven by Spirit Stones.
Especially since, in Doctor Fengâs backyard there was already a Spirit Gathering Arrayâno one knew that what was in the backyard was merely a portable Gathering Spirit Array Plate.
When the Princely Heir learned of the news, he was exceptionally astonished, âAm I getting this right? That list, is it really the material list for constructing a Spirit Gathering Array? This definitely needs to be remembered carefully.â
One of his aides reminded him cautiously, âI reckon that the list might not be exact, with certain increases and decreases⦠There could be a lack of some key materials.â
âIâm well aware of that,â the Princely Heir replied impatiently, âIn this day and age, who doesnât hold back a little when doing things? But⦠knowing most of it is still pretty good.â
He immediately sent a message by pigeon post, informing his family that someone was using these materials to construct a Spirit Gathering Array.
A few days later, the pigeon returned with a reply from the Dukeâs Mansion: Itâs impossible, youâve been deceived. According to our knowledge, those are not the materials used in a Spirit Gathering Array!
