Lan Qingyou rode her Magic Broom to the taiji symbol located at the center of the magic circle.
Unlike other areas, although the taiji symbol was also excavated, the Yin fish and Yang eye sections were clearly ten centimeters higher than the rest.
She then took the item she had ordered out of her card—a single-tier fountain base—and placed it on the Yang eye position.
You didn't see that wrong; it was a fountain base.
To be precise, it was a magic fountain.
The main body was a giant, five-meter-diameter basin-shaped base crafted from rare Orichalcum.
The center of the base featured an elegant depression, with five exquisitely carved dragon heads evenly distributed around the edge. Each dragon head was lifelike, with flowing whiskers and piercing eyes.
The bodies of the five bronze dragons wound down from the heads, their scales distinct and shimmering with a metallic blue-green cold light under the moonlight and the purple glow of the magic circle, looking quite beautiful.
The most amazing part was that each dragon's claws tightly gripped a crystal-clear dragon pearl.
These dragon pearls were a joint effort by Magician, High Priestess, and Lan Qingyou herself.
A massive amount of mana was sealed inside the dragon pearls, and they emitted a faint fluorescence on their own in the dark.
The lower parts of the dragon bodies were connected to a carefully designed diversion device, ensuring the water flow could pour steadily into the magic circle.
The most beautiful part, however, was the tails.
When placed correctly, these tails fit seamlessly with the magic circuits surrounding the Yang eye, forming a complete whole.
On the outer perimeter of the fountain base was an enhancement enchantment pattern personally engraved by The Star, Ruan Qingyi.
These complex runes were written in ancient Kalim language, every stroke imbued with powerful mana.
The patterns cleverly incorporated the orbits of stars and symbols of elemental cycles. When viewed from specific angles, these patterns formed a complete celestial map, providing a powerful blessing to the entire magic fountain.
Truth be told, this magic fountain, named 'Orichalcum Five-Dragon Water Play,' was designed by Lan Qingyou herself.
But she hadn't expected the finished product to be so stunning.
It seemed enchanting also provided an aesthetic bonus.
Satisfied, Lan Qingyou took the Stone of Repose out of her herb bag, which was currently dripping with water.
When she placed the Stone of Repose into the central depression, a miracle began to happen.
The mysterious stone continuously gushed with the Spring of Repose, and the clear water flowed down along the five dragon bodies.
When the water touched the specially made magic iron plates beneath the base, the runes and magic circuits pre-engraved on the plates were activated one by one, bursting with brilliant purple light.
This light was like living threads, rapidly spreading along complex trajectories following the flow of the water.
Viewed from high above, the five purple light streams were like five agile dragons, orderly outlining a massive composite magic circle in the darkness.
This magic circle consisted of three concentric circles. The inner layer featured twelve ancient elemental runes and the Yin-Yang taiji symbol. The middle layer contained seventy-two star symbols, the moon, and the sun. The outermost layer connected a total of five giant trees, including Lan Qingyou's shelter, forming five small circles on the large one. In between were incantations written in the unique Kalim language of magic circles.
The moment the five light streams met at the outermost ring, the entire magic circle erupted with staggering energy. A pillar of purple light shot into the sky, dyeing the night for miles around a mysterious violet color.
Inside the magic circle, Lan Qingyou was draped in a thick purple aura.
If you asked why the magic circle erupted with purple light, Lan Qingyou could only say she wasn't sure herself.
If she had to explain it, it was probably because she liked purple, and the 'I Think' power had influenced the outcome.
The light pillar lasted for about three minutes before gradually dissipating.
Afterward, tiny specks of mana light began to float in the space around the fountain and the entire magic circle, as beautiful and dreamlike as fireflies on a summer night.
【Five Dragon Reincarnation Protection Magic Circle (C-)】
【Effect: A composite magic circle with a 500-meter radius. It can resist S-grade magic attacks, but you must constantly inject mana to ensure the shield's energy does not hit zero in order to withstand attacks against you.】
【Description: A shield developed by a group of zealots was modified with a magic circle by an even crazier witch. It seems much sturdier. However, this appears to be a semi-finished magic circle?】
【Requirements: Cartography, Runeology, Enchanting, Astronomy, Occultism, Mana Circuits, Basic Mana Resource Recycling, Basic Mana Conversion, Magic Circle Drawing.】
Until this moment, Lan Qingyou, having checked with her Analytic Magic Eye, finally breathed a long sigh of relief and clenched her fist.
Success!
It really worked!!
Looking at the dreamlike scene before her, Lan Qingyou felt wild joy in her heart, while a somewhat manic smile appeared on her face.
Originally, because she was worried the scale was too large, Lan Qingyou had used something like the Stone of Repose that could continuously produce high-concentration mana.
She had even gone as far as specifically asking Ruan Qingyi to add an enhancement enchantment out of excessive caution.
But now it seemed it was all worth it.
The 'Five Dragon' in the name naturally referred to the five dragons on the fountain.
As for the Occultism mentioned in the description, Lan Qingyou guessed it was caused by the Yin-Yang taiji symbol she had added.
The outer structure of the entire magic circle served as anchors for natural energy and constraints for the incantations.
The five circles on the outer ring and the five giant trees within them represented the five directions—East, West, South, North, and Center—to absorb mana from outside the magic circle.
The seventy-two star symbols on the middle concentric circle represented celestial energy and space-time anchoring.
This allowed it to absorb celestial energy for its own use while also keeping the space-time inside the entire magic circle forever at the moment it was activated.
The sun represented the masculine, heat, and outward expression—namely vitality, destructive power, and creativity.
The moon represented the feminine, softness, and inward reflection—namely mental power, tidal force, and variability.
The Yin-Yang taiji at the very center was specifically set up to allow the 'opposition' between the sun and the moon in the magic circle to achieve 'unity.'
And the twelve elemental runes surrounding the taiji symbol represented earth, water, fire, wind, lightning, light, darkness, time, space, life, death, and chaos.
Just like the taiji symbol, they were used for balance.
This move was something she had realized by combining her reading of the Emerald Tablet with her limited knowledge of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements theory.
It was precisely because of this realization that she dared to draw the taiji symbol onto the magic circle.
Because the realization was her own.
The 'I Think' power is awesome!
No, how could I enjoy such a beautiful sight alone?
So, taking advantage of the darkness when the effect was at its best, Lan Qingyou pulled out her cards and snapped a bunch of photos, even flying up to take a massive panoramic shot.
Then, she sent them into the group for everyone to enjoy.
