936: Chapter 588 936: Chapter 588 Dugu brothers only felt their ears were being tortured, the incessant chatter of Lin Daiyu was almost making them deaf!
Amidst the mockery of other men, all he could do was endure!
Fortune comes with its cost!
Su Chang’an was constantly on his mind; he was always worried about Jiang Tang and his sister, but external matters like monsters and disputes among boys and girls didn’t concern him at all!
He was fully immersed in his cultivation and thoughts, without envying others!
He assumed others didn’t possess high ability; having pets to assist them actually saved him a lot of trouble!
He was one of the few people in this team with higher ability!
Even though he didn’t need to lead the team, a strong team would benefit him!
Lai Jianlin always stood with Ding Ling; they used a Flying Artifact meant for one person for the two of them!
Ever since he learned Artifact Refining, the Magic Artifact Lai Jianlin made himself was naturally better than Ding Ling’s!
Ding Ling hadn’t mastered such skills yet, she was just starting to learn, and hadn’t had time to make one, so she was using the best Flying Treasure Lai Jianlin had given her.
Having a boyfriend around, she didn’t need to use her Flying Treasure!
Others also had their own Flying Artifacts, and naturally didn’t want to be third wheels.
Given a rare moment of respite, they would cultivate and study the newly acquired Secret Manuals!
Right now, Ding Ling was with Lai Jianlin, of course, who could personally teach her various skills by his side!
As a novice in Artifact Refining just beginning to learn, possessing some ordinary materials and various outstanding equipment, she knew her ability was lacking and didn’t want to waste these quality materials!
She heard that learning Formation and Talisman Drawing techniques would enhance her skills and even improve the grade of the Magic Artifacts she produced!
Every skill could be learned from scratch, a result many people desired; although it sounded difficult, many people achieved it!
This was from the Secret Manual given by Saint Lord Jiang Tang, truly an excellent manual!
It was delightful and continuously motivating, appearing to be a mere beginner-level manual, yet it surpassed many Secrets from Sects and Noble Clans!
Ding Ling had once in the library of Western Immortal Sect copied those books, also in hopes that one day, in her free time, she could learn a bit from these manuals!
She tried hard but couldn’t learn anything, feeling her talents were lacking.
Ding Ling also confided to her senior brother Lai Jianlin about what she couldn’t learn previously; instead of looking down on her, he taught her with great patience.
Lai Jianlin, seeing his junior sister’s lack of confidence in her expression and eyes, reassured her that he too couldn’t do it initially but had the opportunity to cultivate after obtaining this manual.
He shared with Ding Ling the experiences and insights he had studied with Luo Yaxuan, treating the girl both as his future partner and as a companion moving forward together!
Wholeheartedly towards her, wholeheartedly for her, no matter how many difficulties or calamities they encountered, they would walk hand in hand.
Lai Jianlin’s wholehearted affection towards Ding Ling was expressed through his actions and patience, showing his love and care!
In this process, Ding Ling enjoyed the kindness from her senior brother and thought of becoming stronger to stand by his side in the future, to treat him better and repay him!
The first skill Lai Jianlin taught his junior sister was Formation; being a mentor for the first time, he shared all he knew and taught Ding Ling, also giving her some materials for drawing Formations, as initial Formation practice could be done with ordinary materials and simple Formation Flags.
Following the methods described in the books, she inserted the Formation Flags into specific positions.
Lai Jianlin set up an Invisibility Formation with Formation Flags on their Flying Artifact where they were seated.
This was a demonstration; he made himself invisible within this formation to show his junior sister the effect!
Ding Ling was amazed to find her senior brother had disappeared, which he demonstrated using the invisibility method from the book.
Once he set it up correctly, she observed and remembered it!
Sounds of admiration and endless tender coquetry arose.
“Senior brother, you’re amazing!”
Lai Jianlin smiled, satisfying a bit of his vanity unseen by his junior sister, for even a man needs support from a woman.
With a wave of his hand, he collected those Formation Flags.
“I’ll give it a try!” Ding Ling took the Formation Flags from her senior brother, arranged them according to the positions she remembered, and to her surprise, she succeeded on her first try!
“Congratulations, junior sister!” Lai Jianlin’s blessing came sincerely with a gentle voice expressing his congratulations.
Lai Jianlin could see the invisible Ding Ling and her radiant smile; seeing her smile made him happy.
“I made it, thanks to you, senior brother.
It’s all because you taught me well!”
Ding Ling knew she wouldn’t have learned so quickly if her senior brother hadn’t taught her.
Seeing his junior sister happy, Lai Jianlin continued to teach her other, albeit ordinary, Formations.
Besides Formation Flags, other materials like Jade Stones could also be used as long as they contained Spiritual Power energy, capable of setting up Formations.
He would teach her further Artifact Refining specific formations during actual refining; merely talking about it isn’t so easy to remember!
