"Since the three of you aren't deeply familiar with the Star Constellation Restriction, perhaps my senior and I can handle the work from now on. While it might be a bit slower than planned, I doubt City Lord E and the others would object," Han Li suggested.

"No, the Star Falcon Array was created by me, referencing the Four Aspects Restriction. It was fine before, but the next step requires all five of us to work simultaneously from the four phases; otherwise, the restriction will become unbalanced and collapse. Enough talk, I will handle this matter myself," Madam Liu Hua said, nodding slightly to Han Li, her attitude much gentler than before.

Since Madam Liu Hua had spoken, Han Li didn't say anything further.

Madam Liu Hua then carefully explained the key points of the Star Falcon Restriction to Han Li and the others before beginning to set up the array.

The five of them worked as before, with Madam Liu Hua responsible for the central area of the vessel, Han Li for the left side, Lu Gang and Liang Fa for the right side, and Xuan Yuanxing for the stern.

Han Li held the Star Ripple Brush, inscribing array patterns in the left area of the flying vessel.

Throughout the vessel, especially on the walls, Silver Gilt Juice had been infused, constantly clashing with the Stellar Force within the Star Liquid, making the inscription process several times more difficult than before.

He took a deep breath, intensified the activation of his spiritual sense, striving to stabilize the power of the Star Liquid while diligently adapting to the conflict.

With his current spiritual sense and understanding of the Star Falcon Restriction, he quickly adapted, inscribing array patterns while installing various materials and array-setting tools into the patterns, gradually setting up the restriction.

Han Li's progress was relatively smooth, but the situation wasn't good for Xuan Yuanxing and the others, especially Xuan Yuanxing, who was alone, making the inscription of array patterns even more difficult. In just half a day, he had failed four or five times in a row, wasting a significant amount of materials.

Although Madam Liu Hua had spoken those words before, seeing so many materials wasted made her expression quite unpleasant. She had no choice but to stop and re-emphasize the key points of the array setup to Xuan Yuanxing and the others.

Eight or nine days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Star Falcon Flying Vessel, array patterns crisscrossed throughout the vessel walls, shimmering with faint silver light, permeating most of the vessel's interior.

In the very center of the flying vessel, the five stood facing each other.

Xuan Yuanxing and the others wore faces of shame, standing with their heads lowered.

Han Li stood silently to the side, saying nothing.

Madam Liu Hua's expression was somewhat gloomy, her eyes darting back and forth, seemingly considering something.

During these days, the few had done their best to set up the array, completing most of it, but the materials were finally exhausted due to the large amount wasted by Xuan Yuanxing and the others.

"Ahem, now that the materials are insufficient, Senior Liu Hua, do you have any countermeasures?" After a long silence, Han Li coughed softly and asked.

"I still have some array-setting tools, and those that were scrapped aren't completely damaged. Those with less damage can be repaired and continue to be used, so there's no need to worry about that. The main issue now is the lack of Sea Condensing Jade, Scarlet Crystal, and Earth Tide Stone," Madam Liu Hua said calmly.

"Senior Liu Hua, do you have a solution for these three materials?" Han Li asked, seeing Madam Liu Hua's calm expression.

"The Cold Ice Mountains are home to a scaled beast called the Ice Scale Armadillo, whose horn is very similar to Sea Condensing Jade and can be used as a substitute. After entering the Cold Ice Mountains, I once saw traces of Ice Scale Armadillos in a place not far from here, only two days away. We can go and hunt a few. As for Scarlet Crystal, as far as I know, City Lord Fu Jian has some. I can ask him for it, and I think he will agree. The most troublesome thing is the Earth Tide Stone; I don't know where to get it," Madam Liu Hua said slowly.

"Some puppets in Puppet City have components made of Earth Tide Stone. Fellow Daoist Sha Xin should have some Earth Tide Stone. I'll go and borrow some from him." Just then, a voice came in, and two people walked in from the entrance of the flying vessel: E Kuai and Chen Yang.

"City Lord E, you..." Madam Liu Hua stood up upon hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashing across her face.

"Fellow Daoist Liu Hua, you're still so concerned with appearances. Although you promised to help me build this Star Falcon Flying Vessel, now that this sudden situation has occurred, you should have told me, instead of stubbornly trying to solve it alone," E Kuai said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Han Li understood why Madam Liu Hua had been unwilling to mention this matter to City Lord E Kuai earlier.

Madam Liu Hua's expression changed several times before she finally sighed, "I messed things up, so I don't have the face to ask City Lord E for help. But now that City Lord E already knows about this, let's do as the City Lord says."

E Kuai nodded and said to Chen Yang beside him, "I'll leave the matter of hunting Ice Scale Armadillos to Chen Yang. On the way here, I remember encountering Ice Scale Armadillos, probably in this place."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip, roughly sketched a map of the Icefire Polar Veins, and marked a place, handing it to Chen Yang.

"No problem." Chen Yang took the jade slip and quickly nodded after a brief examination, preparing to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment. The Icefire Polar Veins are full of dangers. Although you're strong, Chen Yang, it might not be safe for you to go alone. Let Li Feiyu go with you to have someone to rely on. Besides, he's familiar with Sea Condensing Jade and can also offer some advice," E Kuai called out to Chen Yang and said to Han Li.

Hearing this, Han Li was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.

"I wasted the most materials in this array setup, City Lord. Please let me go with them to contribute a bit and slightly make up for my guilt," Xuan Yuanxing suddenly stepped forward and said.

"Alright, then you can go too. Remember to return early," E Kuai raised an eyebrow, then nodded.

The three didn't delay, made some preparations, and quickly left the encampment, heading in the direction they had come from.

Because they had already traveled this road once, the three moved quickly, reaching the marked place in just one day.

After walking for a day, night fell, and the surrounding cold air suddenly intensified, with rolling cold winds howling past, wave after wave, without any sign of stopping.

The Yin Cold Force contained in the cold wind was extremely strong, and although the three were all formidable, their hands and feet gradually became somewhat numb.

"This cold air is abnormally turbulent. Let's not continue on our way and find a place to take shelter," Chen Yang said, glancing around.

Xuan Yuanxing seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and nodded first.

Although Han Li could still persevere, he didn't object.

The three searched around and soon found a relatively hidden cave next to a mountain valley, immediately squeezing inside.

With the mountain walls blocking the way, the cold air inside the cave wasn't as strong as outside. The three breathed a sigh of relief, each finding a place to sit down.

Xuan Yuanxing seemed to be the most afraid of the cold, finding a place in the innermost part of the cave.

He then took out a small basin and a bamboo-like container from his luggage, pouring some black oily liquid into the small basin.

Then, with a "sizzle," a spark of light landed in the small basin, and the black liquid inside immediately burst into flames, turning into a bright flame.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly.

Although this cave was hidden, if a fire was lit here, causing temperature changes, the scaled beasts outside might notice, which could be troublesome.

He turned to look at Chen Yang, seeing that his expression was somewhat indifferent and he didn't object, so he didn't say anything.

"City Lord Chen Yang, Fellow Daoist Li, you two are much stronger than I am and can withstand the invasion of the cold air, but it's still a burden to resist with your bodies alone. Come and sit here to drive away the cold," Xuan Yuanxing invited the two over.

"Alright." Chen Yang got up and sat near the brazier.

Seeing this, Han Li also walked over.

The flames formed by the burning black oil in the brazier were unusually hot, dispelling much of the cold air in the cave. The firelight shone on people, as warm as sunshine.

"This black oil looks extraordinary. I wonder what treasure it is?" Han Li glanced at the brazier and asked with some surprise.

"It's just some scaled beast oil, nothing special," Xuan Yuanxing said with a smile.

Han Li nodded, not asking further.

"It's really strange. Why is the cold wind so strong tonight?" Xuan Yuanxing muttered.

"This Icefire Polar Veins is close to the Black Abyss, and the climate is inherently unpredictable. It's not surprising," Chen Yang said indifferently.

The howling of the cold wind outside the cave became louder and louder, blowing through the mountain valley, making a mournful whistling sound that was frightening to hear.

Although the cold wind roared outside, the cave was warm, like another world.

The three were now warming themselves by the fire, their stiff bodies slowly recovering, and their spirits were invigorated. In addition, the task they were going to do was not difficult after all, and the three were in a relatively relaxed mood, chatting casually.

As the night deepened, the three soon lost interest in talking.

Xuan Yuanxing leaned against the cave wall with his clothes on, closing his eyes and falling asleep first.

Chen Yang also sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.

Han Li didn't feel sleepy and wasn't in the mood to cultivate. His eyes reflected the firelight, flickering slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the night is late. Why don't you rest a bit? Although the task for tomorrow isn't difficult, it's always good to get enough rest." A voice sounded in Han Li's ear. Chen Yang had opened his eyes at some point and looked over, transmitting his voice.

"Although this place is hidden, it's still in the Icefire Polar Veins. There might be danger at night, so it's good to have someone keep watch," Han Li glanced at Xuan Yuanxing, returning his voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Li's strength is remarkable, and he's meticulous. Entering the Great Ruins this time will surely bring great achievements." Chen Yang smiled, transmitting his voice.

"I'm just following you all into the Great Ruins to see the sights. I never thought of achieving anything great," Han Li said with a smile, shaking his head.

"The Great Ruins is full of treasures. Is there really nothing Fellow Daoist Li wants?" Chen Yang looked deeply at Han Li.

"Oh? What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Chen?" Han Li looked directly into Chen Yang's eyes, slowly transmitting his voice.

"I heard someone say a few days ago that Fellow Daoist Li visited Fellow Daoist Liu Hua before the Five Cities Martial Arts Tournament, and mentioned the Celestial Scale Meteorite Crystal during that time?" Chen Yang asked, transmitting his voice.
