Chapter 111: Secret Treasure

A mere fourth-rank sect Dao Foundation dares to be arrogant? Wei Yuan was naturally furious, automatically ignoring the effect of the Tinghai Xianjun's status, and acted directly.

A golden tripod appeared above his head, then his body and the golden tripod grew a size larger. He reached out and grabbed the tripod legs, swung it, and smashed it down on the Senior Brother's head! This smash was incomparably fierce, and the Senior Brother had no way to dodge, so he had to raise his flying knife to resist desperately.

With a sound of a tripod ringing, the golden tripod in Wei Yuan's hand shattered, while the Senior Brother was smashed until he vomited blood, the flying sword in his hand broke into several pieces, and most of his body was nailed into the ground! Wei Yuan's smash was equivalent to a direct collision of two Dao Foundations, and just one hit caused the Senior Brother, who had already reached Nurturing Spirit, to suffer damage to his Dao Foundation, making it difficult to operate Dao power.

The golden tripod shattered, and Wei Yuan also felt a slight dizziness in his brain, and a stone on his Dao Foundation shattered into several pieces. However, it was originally scattered rocks, not part of a whole rock stratum, so Wei Yuan wasn't very painful. Wei Yuan's divine sense moved, and another stone on the ground began to deform, turning into a square three-legged tripod. So Wei Yuan reached out and grabbed, and a golden tripod appeared in his hand again.

This time the golden tripod smashed down, the Senior Brother had no room for resistance, was smashed until he vomited blood wildly, his Dao Foundation cracked, and his whole person sank into the ground, leaving only half a head exposed. In fact, this Senior Brother lost very aggrievedly. Lan Shen Palace started with the incense divine path and had many strange means, but frontal attack wasn't their strength. Now, hard-tanking Wei Yuan's Dao Foundation in a narrow space, he was attacking the enemy's strength with his own weakness, and even though he had reached Nurturing Spirit, he didn't survive three hits.

Seeing the Eldest Senior Brother on the verge of death, the Little Junior Brother huddled in the corner, his eyes filled with terror.

Smashing the Senior Brother in two hits, Wei Yuan habitually summarized the battle: "Temporarily molding a tripod takes some time, easily giving the enemy a chance to breathe. Next time, mold a few more for backup."

Wei Yuan put away the golden tripod, looked at Yun Feifei lying motionless with her spring light exposed, then looked at the red-clothed woman whose Primordial Spirit aura was completely different, and asked: "Who exactly are you?"

The red-clothed woman looked at Wei Yuan with some resentment and said: "My soul body is actually Feifei's Senior Sister. When the sect was destroyed that year, I died miserably, and a wisp of soul was collected by Feifei into the Soul-Drawing Box to warm and nourish. These years we have been hiding, and some places that were not convenient for Feifei to go were handled by me. My actions and the Yin wind that blew you that day were all consumed by the incense wishes accumulated in the palace for so many years. Some time ago, Feifei was hit by a blood curse and could only rely on deep sleep to suppress it, so she attached a wisp of divine sense to me. So I am me, and also Feifei."

"Then where is the thing on her? Hand it over quickly so I can return to the sect to report." Wei Yuan said with a blank face.

The red-clothed woman was startled and said: "Feifei is like this, aren't you going to take her away?"

"Taking the things on her back is the same." Wei Yuan looked like he didn't want to take a drag at all.

The red-clothed woman had never encountered such a thing. In the past, no matter who it was, seeing her or Yun Feifei, they were all scrambling to help actively, unlike this one, who treated her as a dead person just because Feifei was sleeping.

"Refuse to say?" Wei Yuan stared at the red-clothed woman, a cold sneer slowly appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You, what are you going to do? Don't you dare touch Feifei!" The red-clothed woman screamed, although Wei Yuan didn't mean to touch Yun Feifei at all.

Wei Yuan ignored the red-clothed woman's warning and directly drew a simple formation diagram on the ground in the room, and then the red-clothed woman suddenly found that she couldn't move!

Ghost-Detaining Formation. This formation could briefly fix ghost and Yin soul types, creating conditions for subsequent attacks. Originally, Wei Yuan couldn't figure out what the red-clothed woman was, but now that she said she was a remnant soul, the Ghost-Detaining Formation was naturally the best to use.

Wei Yuan drew another circle of formation outside, and the red-clothed woman immediately felt hot all over, and faint flames began to spray from her mouth and nose!

Soul-Refining Formation! This formation was powerful, capable of refining weaker ghosts into nothingness. Even if the red-clothed woman had wishes to protect her body, being refined into flying ash would only be a matter of time.

It was just that she was exceptionally tough, and even though she was burned and screamed repeatedly, she refused to say what that thing was and where it was. Wei Yuan didn't entangle with her, stopped the Soul-Refining Formation, and said to Xu Waner: "You watch them here."

Wei Yuan pointed three times, and the red-clothed woman was also pointed in, and then specifically exhorted: "No matter what they say, don't believe it, and kill whoever dares to run."

Before leaving, Wei Yuan still wasn't at ease, and set up a Feng Shui formation in the room, adding bad luck to everyone around. Wei Yuan's own Qi Luck was strong, and he wasn't affected by the Feng Shui formation.

Setting up so much was because Wei Yuan found that the relationship between Yun Feifei and her Senior Brothers and Sisters was truly bloody, and none of them were good people. Perhaps the Third Senior Sister who escaped to Hanyang Pass was slightly normal. In Wei Yuan's view, there was no need to take this Senior Brother and Junior Brother to Hanyang Pass at all; not killing them on the spot was already a favor.

Of course, if they could prove their value, that was another matter. Wei Yuan was definitely not someone who would violate his principles because of immortal silver, unless the amount was too large.

As for Yun Feifei, there was no need to take her back to the palace after getting the thing. What the Tinghai Xianjun valued was that thing, not her as a person. Wei Yuan had read so many books, so naturally, he wouldn't confuse the focus. As for cherishing the jade, for a grumpy swordsman, it didn't exist.

Xu Waner was quite simple, perhaps because she grew up in the government office and hadn't seen much of the hardships of the world, like a piece of white paper as sharp as a knife.

After careful exhortation, Wei Yuan walked toward the great hall. The formation disk showed that the largest karma was hidden under the great hall, and the key to opening it should be the token in the jade statue's hand. So whether Yun Feifei said it or not was actually irrelevant. After Wei Yuan searched all the places with karma, if he still hadn't found that thing, he didn't mind coming back to bargain with Yun Feifei.

After Wei Yuan left, the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was looking at Xu Waner, making her subconsciously

take a step back. The red-clothed woman urged: "Help me erase the formation diagram under my feet, and I'll take you away!"

Xu Waner took two steps toward the red-clothed woman, and then stopped. The red-clothed woman's face changed several times, and then said: "You, you wouldn't be..."

Xu Waner's face was slightly red, her voice as small as a mosquito: "I think, we'd better listen to Senior Brother, so as not to ruin his big event."

The red-clothed woman said angrily: "He treated you like that, and you still speak for him?"

She looked at Xu Waner's completely red little face and suddenly understood something: "Could it be that you want to..."

"No!" Xu Waner denied it flatly.

The red-clothed woman stomped her feet in anger, but calmed down and prepared to persuade her again. She knew Xu Waner had a gentle temperament and didn't have much of an opinion, so it was easy to persuade. As for Wei Yuan, she wasn't worried about how he was; she believed Wei Yuan was just bragging and couldn't find the Ancestor's Secret Treasure at all. When the Wu Yu tribe army and those people came back and forth to search for so many days, and dismantled the entire Lan Shen Palace, didn't they also find nothing?

The top priority was to escape first. After Wei Yuan left empty-handed, she would come back to find a way to open the Ancestor's Secret Treasure.

Thinking of the secret treasure, the red-clothed woman gritted her teeth secretly, cursing in her heart: "Old thing, you deserve to die! You die if you want to, but you wouldn't hand over the secret to me before you died! Good death!"

In the Ancestor Hall, Wei Yuan carried the paralyzed Xu Wenwu to the side, and paced in the hall, observing the reactions of different karma light points. The most intense one was still underground, about ten zhang deep. Another one was in the relatively well-preserved goddess statue, and another one was in the ruins of the disciple area. Because it was far away, it was already at the edge of the formation disk.

Wei Yuan came to the goddess statue and observed it carefully, but whether it was with the naked eye or divine sense scanning, there was no abnormality. Only the Qi-gazing technique could see that there was still a lot of incense wishes. It seemed that even if Lan Shen Palace was destroyed, there were still many people worshipping these gods.

Wei Yuan pointed his hand, and a water flow technique blasted onto the statue. In this region, water and wood Dao techniques were exceptionally useful and had many wonders not found elsewhere. Wei Yuan's Primordial Spirit was powerful; others could only split three or five forks with a water flow technique, but Wei Yuan could not only split over a hundred forks, but each fork was very strong.

!.

The slender water flow was like a knife, cutting the surface of the statue layer by layer, peeling off its appearance like peeling an onion, finally revealing the mystery inside. There was actually another goddess statue inside the statue, also with a gap between the chest and abdomen, and the shape was exactly the same as that small token. Wei Yuan took the token from the jade statue and placed it on the goddess's chest.

The great hall suddenly lit up with a layer of dim light, and countless people were praying and making wishes faintly. Several floor tiles in the hall gradually faded and disappeared, revealing a deep passage leading underground. This passage could only be seen by Wei Yuan holding the token, while in the eyes of others, the great hall floor was still a complete piece.

"Really no creativity." Wei Yuan complained in his heart.

This method of setting up mechanisms and secret rooms could be traced back tens of thousands of years ago, and there was no new idea. And the teachers in the Art Theory class taught dozens of methods on how to set up secret rooms, among which putting the secret room switch on dead objects was the most stupid, and using dead object tokens to open the entrance belonged to stupid plus one.

These teachers brought forth the new through the old, and there were already countless novel schemes. A method that was more respected was to refine the secret room switch with the owner's Primordial Spirit, and the secret realm would only open when the owner was in a certain emotional state. In layman's terms, it meant that the person had to be coaxed to be happy before the secret realm could be opened.

Some people innovated on this method again, which was to use beauty traps to coax, and the beauty not only had to meet the person's dream goddess standard, but also had to fall in love with that person wholeheartedly, and then the person's emotions would reach the standard, and the secret realm would open. As soon as this method came out, it was immediately scolded by countless female cultivators, and other senior experts were angry and took action to teach them a lesson.

However, since then, some female cultivators secretly changed this method into a self-use version and developed many new uses, becoming the inspiration for countless storybooks in later generations.

However, in history, the person with the highest level of setting up entrance mechanisms wasn't those who taught Art Theory, but the teacher who taught Heaven and Earth Theory.

That teacher directly left a question at the entrance, calculating the trajectory of how two large stars revolved around each other. If you calculated it correctly, the door would open; if you calculated it wrong, you would eat lightning.

This mechanism question couldn't be solved by many people in the entire Grand Void Palace.

Similarly, the most ingenious method to enter the secret room from the entrance was also created by that teacher. After solving that question, a door would open, and after entering, it would be a void, and you had to fly according to the calculated trajectory, and then you would fly to the secret room. If there was any deviation in the trajectory, you would be lost in the void and would never find the secret room again.

This method was specifically used to deal with those who relied on others to calculate the questions to open the entrance. It was said that after it was released, several True Lords were inexplicably in a bad mood and went around looking for people to vent their anger. The True Lords of the Grand Void Palace were all used to being arrogant, and neither could accept that their Dao was inferior to others, nor could they accept that their intelligence was inferior to others, even if that was a fact.

So during that period, the Grand Void Palace was in chaos, and it was not yet Zhang Sheng's turn to be grumpy.
