Borrowing a Secret Technique

"Brother Zhuoran, can you see anything?"

"They're all good treasures."

"Nonsense, of course I know it's a treasure," Zhou Ning retorted, though he didn't know exactly what it was.

There was no way around it; Su Household was born into a family of handymen and was a wandering Rogue Cultivator in Land of Wei, so his perspective was too narrow.

His immediate conspiracy theory was. "This is strange. Are these things placed in the hall to act as the core of a formation, suppressing some kind of evil spirit?"

He Zhuoran released his Divine Sense and scanned the area; each ball of light contained its spiritual energy and remained quietly.

He observed for a while before saying, "Not really. These things aren't that valuable to a True Person of the Purple Mansion."

"I think it was deliberately set up by some elders, like the academy displaying its books, just to make a show of it, and also to use the Spiritual Qi energy of this place to nourish themselves."

"It seems they suffered a great calamity later and didn't have time to retrieve it..."

The transmission was only halfway complete.

Someone nearby struck up a conversation. "Master, I've heard so much about you!"

Zhou Ning glanced at him and saw a young man with a buzz cut and a decent appearance.

"My name is Weimiao River, Panshan Sect, Ma Huangshan," he introduced himself.

Zhou Ning was a little confused, hearing about mountains and rivers. He asked doubtfully, "Which one is your name, fellow Daoist?"

"Ma Huangshan."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Ma. This humble monk comes from the Little Western Heaven and wishes to travel to the East Sea to obtain scriptures." Zhou Ning put his hands together, adopting the air of a high-ranking monk.

He heard Zhuoran's voice in his ear. "Coiling Mountain Sect? They do have True Person has reached the Five Perfections stage; their strength is not bad."

"As for the Ma Household of the Weimiao River? I remember they are also a prominent Aristocratic Clan the Purple Mansion. This person is worth befriending."

After being verified by the snobbish He Zhuoran, Zhou Ning knew that this person was extraordinary.

"What does Fellow Daoist Ma mean?"

"Master, please come with me."

The two walked to a corner, Ma Huangshan cast a Law Technique to shield himself from prying eyes before saying:

"Our Ma Household has been famous for helping people move mountains for hundreds of years, and we have mastered an unparalleled skill in mountain-moving techniques."

Zhou Ning was astonished. "My goodness, how can we move such a huge mountain?"

Even Core Formation and Nascent Soul Cultivator would likely be powerless against such a vast mountain.

Although he had never seen Core Formation or Nascent Soul.

Could the abilities of the cultivators from Land of Wei have become so terrifying?

He Zhuoran transmitted his voice, saying, "The so-called 'moving mountains' doesn't mean physically moving them, but rather using the art of shifting mountains. All things have a spirit, and mountains and earth's veins are no exception."

"If you can deceive the mountains and rivers, telling them that it shouldn't be in the east, but in the west, and the mountains believe you, they will lift themselves up and run to the west."

Zhou Ning's eyes widened. "Is it possible to do that?"

How can the Principle of this Land of Wei world be so free?

Even this mountain is like the female cultivators who have awakened on Cuiwei Lake, each with their own ideas.

If he possessed the art of moving mountains, couldn't he move the mountains of the Azure Mystic Sect to Cuiwei Lake?

Won't the Su Household be bombed?

Ma Huangshan said, "Master, do you understand the All-Illuminating Buddha Light Shield? Once this shield is deployed, it can protect an entire city, or at least protect a person within a ten-foot radius."

Zhou Ning vaguely guessed his thoughts and immediately admitted, "This is a Buddhist secret. Even if I have mastered this technique, how could I possibly tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Huangshan was taken aback. Hadn't he already told him?

"Master, look how fragrant these treasures are!" He pointed to the treasures within the light barrier.

"That small cyan fan is not made of wood, but rather condensed from the essence of the Yi Wood element. As the saying goes, wood generates wind; once this object is fanned, it transforms into a wind blade that cuts!"

"There's also a lightning-shaped treasure, the Yin-Patterned Thunderwood, which contains pure Yin thunder energy. It's more than enough to forge a thunder-type Foundation Establishment Law Artifact; it has many uses."

Ma Huangshan spoke eloquently, commenting on each point in turn.

Zhou Ning sighed, "The treasures are indeed valuable, but there are many cultivators here, and each one is a formidable opponent!"

He listened with great enthusiasm, and a bold idea suddenly came to mind.

Once the light barrier is breached, he'll throw eight or ten Fire Furuncle Fruit into the crowd; the scene will be absolutely spectacular!

Then, taking advantage of the opportunity, he seized the treasure and stuffed it into the Jade Space before dying and returning to Cuiwei Lake.

"Hmm, this method might work?" The more Zhou Ning thought about it, the more confident he became, believing he was both courageous and resourceful.

However, if this is the case, He Zhuoran will likely suffer the consequences and become the target of public criticism.

Alas, what can one do when there are so many treasures? Brother Zhuoran, you'll have to suffer a little longer!

But Ma Huangshan said, "Judging from my eyesight, those treasures have been imbued with Divine Ability, and having been nurtured for so long, they should have developed a faint spiritual energy. I'm afraid they won't be easily intercepted."

Zhou Ning secretly inquired, "Brother Zhuoran, is this really true?"

"I can tell it's real at a glance."

"Alright then." Zhou Ning sighed inwardly. In that case, his self-destruction strategy would have failed.

If it possesses a spirit, even if it explodes in the crowd, it won't be able to grab many treasures!

He Zhuoran vaguely sensed that Brother Zhou was somewhat disappointed, and he was a little confused.

If a treasure possesses spiritual energy, it signifies a higher grade; wouldn't that be even better?

Zhou Ning asked, "What insightful opinion does Benefactor Ma have?"

After the two conspired for a while, Zhou Ning finally understood that Ma Huangshan was planning to use the Mountain Moving Technique to tell the treasures inside the formation that they shouldn't be in the formation, but should be in his own hands.

This was to avoid the scene of treasures flying around and everyone chasing after them.

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment, "Does the benefactor intend to take this opportunity to acquire the treasure, and then use my All-Illuminating Buddha Light Shield for protection?"

Ma Huangshan nodded.

Zhou Ning frowned. "It can only provide temporary protection, but if it's surrounded and attacked by many, it won't last long."

Upon seeing this, Ma Huangshan was overjoyed and said, "I have been in this hall for two days now. To be honest, I have a thorough understanding of the array formations and key points within the hall."

As he spoke, he demonstrated the Law Power the earthen yellow magic.

He Zhuoran said, "It's actually Chen Earth. Cultivators of this path are most skilled in earth-based techniques."

It turned out that Ma Huangshan had thoroughly searched the foundation of the hall and discovered that there were earthen holes under several large pillars. His Chen Earth matched the Yi Wood, so it would not be rejected.

This opening can be used to slip inside and directly access the back mountain.

However, during the process of obtaining the treasure and casting the spell, he couldn't withstand the onslaught from the crowd and was constantly torn between his options.

Zhou Ning asked in confusion, "Why did you choose this monk, benefactor?"

There were dozens of people inside the hall, and as time went on, two more cultivators at the Late Qi Refining were added.

Ma Huangshan coughed and said, "Because I trust the Buddhist disciple, I have long admired your name!"

He heard from his elders that monks, though seemingly virtuous, are actually the most greedy and lustful.

Furthermore, the structure possesses a special protective aura, making it highly resistant to attacks, which is why Ma Huangshan was willing to cooperate with it.

Zhou Ning didn't believe him, but... since there was a treasure, he was willing to give it a try.

Even if a mistake is made, at worst we can rely on the Fire Furuncle Fruit and Immovable Mountain to kill and steal treasures!

The situation inside the palace became increasingly tense.

Everyone was dawdling, unwilling to expend too much Law Power to break the formation, fearing that if the formation was broken, someone else would take advantage of it.

Even so, the Yimu Restriction Array still firmly locked down the several orbs of light.

Suddenly, someone inside the hall said, "Gentlemen, stop dawdling! If the people from the Treasure Sect come, we'll likely leave empty-handed!"

"Yes, let's break the formation first. As for the treasures inside, let's see how we manage them!"

The group exchanged glances, clearly understanding the underlying principle.

If they wait until Treasure Sect arrives, not only will they not get the treasure, but they will probably be falsely accused!

Yang Gu took out a treasure and shouted, "Behold my ' Gang-Splitting Thunderfire Awl '!"

Having said that, he activated his magical Law Artifact to attack the formation, and lightning flashed and sparks flew everywhere!

As soon as this treasure appeared, Zhou Ning noticed that the Buddhist light above his head trembled.

This clearly cast a huge shadow over Brother Zhuoran.

No longer holding back, everyone unleashed their Law Artifact and talismans upon the light barrier, determined to break the formation as quickly as possible.

Even Zhou Ning joined the attack on the formation.

Ma Huangshan sat cross-legged beside Zhou Ning, his eyes fixed on the treasure inside the enclosure, rapidly chanting incantations:

"My darling, my darling, I'm your loving owner..."

Zhou Ning's eye twitched. Was she making a wish here?

Moreover, his actions and expressions were extremely lewd, like a sinister toad trying to devour a fairy.

Under the fierce attack of the cultivators, the surface of the Yimu Restriction Array finally began to flicker continuously, clearly indicating that it had reached its limit.

The cultivators who had been attacking with all their might suddenly spread out and took up advantageous positions.

Upon receiving Ma Huangshan's telepathic message, Zhou Ning pulled out a talisman and slammed it against the light barrier. "Great Fire Dragon Talisman!"

The flames transformed into the shape of a dragon and struck the light shield with a deafening roar.

The next moment, the formation collapsed, and the light clusters inside shot out in all directions.

The cultivators leaped up and grabbed at the ball of light.
