Those who practice Incantation Technique often have some quirks or inconveniences.

Despite his seemingly glamorous appearance, it's quite normal for Dharma Master Hongyi to be doing fuss in his Black Stone Residence.

Zhang Xuezhou had no special relationship with Dharma Master Hongyi and others, so it was really not appropriate for him to stay at Dharma Master Hongyi's place.

If he wanted to lie down for seven days in peace, he would have to stay at Hongku's Black Stone Residence or go to the Ostentatious Palace.

"Since you're going on a long journey, then..." Zhang Xuezhou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll wait for you for seven days. That won't be impolite!"

The words "Then I shall take my leave" that Dharma Master Hongyi was waiting for never came, and he finally had to stand up and lead the way for Zhang Xuezhou.

"Wu Jin, I can only get you to the door, not get you inside!"

Dharma Master Hongyi demonstrated the formation that Hongku had set up.

Without a master, the formation lacks offensive power, making it much easier to break.

However, no venerable one would attempt to break the formation when Hongku left the mountain. Doing such a thing would mean a fight to the death, and no one would do it without a legitimate reason and absolute strength.

On the other hand, if a cultivator possessed absolute power to suppress Hongku, they wouldn't care about the formations or other things set up by Hongku, and consequently, they wouldn't attempt to break them.

Neither the Ostentatious Palace nor the Black Stone Residence could break Hongku's formation.

"It's alright, the teacher's formation didn't protect me; it will be quite easy for me to go in!"

"Well!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, leaving Dharma Master Hongyi no choice but to lead the way.

He realized that the meticulous and cautious Hongku had not been prepared for Zhang Xuezhou's formation, which further confirmed that Hongku and Zhang Xuezhou had a close relationship. His expression softened considerably.

"Uncle Hongyi, would you like to come in and sit with your teacher?"

"No, I'm not going in!"

Upon entering the Black Stone Residence, Dharma Master Hongyi wisely stopped in his tracks.

Zhang Xuezhou dared to go in, but he didn't have the guts.

If Hongku were to conclude that he had memorized the entrance formation, or that he had seen something he shouldn't have after barging in, these would be questions he couldn't explain.

As Zhang Xuezhou forcefully pushed open the door and stepped inside, a chilling gust of wind swept over him, Dharma Master Hongyi quickly took two steps back.

"Venerable Hongku, tsk!"

The gates of the Black Rock Residence were shut shut by a chilling wind.

Dharma Master Hongku sighed twice, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou and Hongku's relationship was too close. Zhang Xuezhou could enter this private residence so freely, and Hongku was treating Zhang Xuezhou like an outsider at all.

"Fortunately, none of them were foolish enough to think they could capture Wu Jin and claim a reward from the royal family of the Xiong State!"

The apprentices were traumatized by Zhang Xuezhou and Wu Chao, fearing that these desperate criminals would drag them down with them.

After all, everyone here was born into wealth and nobility. As long as they mastered their skills and left the mountain, they could live a carefree life. There was no need for them to fight to the death.

As for the monks' unpredictable temperaments, it wouldn't be surprising if someone wanted to profit from them and arrested Zhang Xuezhou had conveniently walked into their trap.

Dharma Master Hongyi and Master Hongnong belonged to the cautious faction, but there were also some masters with more adventurous personalities.

Once Zhang Xuezhou entered Hongku's Black Stone Residence with an open and generous manner, Dharma Master Hongyi felt that no matter who was in the group of monks, he would not have any designs on them.

As for the higher-level venerable ones, they are beyond Dharma Master Hongyi's comprehension.

Besides, he can't control that much.

Even Dharma Master Hongyi, like Master Hongnong, harbored a small hope, almost to the point of shouting "Let's fight!" at the Yedie River Holy Land.

After all, the Yedie River Holy Land proudly in its own region, and there is no question of its life or death. The fewer people on its side, the more power they wield.

While pondering his own little thoughts, Dharma Master Hongyi looked back and forth several times before slowly walking away.

Inside the Black Stone Courtyard, amidst gusts of eerie wind, Zhang Xuezhou released a Acupoint-Fixing Technique.

Not to mention that Zhang Xuezhou had entered and exited the Five Ghost Yin Wind Sword Formation and was somewhat familiar with it, this formation had also been damaged once, so its power was limited.

More importantly, as a formation used to guard a courtyard, this is clearly not a large formation, and its scope is limited.

As the Acupoint-Fixing Technique was applied, the subtle energy of the Technique Method enveloped everything, and the howling gusts of yin wind immediately dissipated, revealing the true appearance of Hongku's Black Stone Courtyard.

"This technique is still somewhat useful!"

Having escaped using the Everlasting Mountains and Rivers Formation, adjusted the layout of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains using the Primordial Chaos Formation, and now directly stabilized the Five Ghost Yin Wind Sword Formation, Zhang Xuezhou finally had a better grasp of the situation.

The concepts of escape and providing support are indeed not strong, and Zhang Xuezhou's Acupoint-Fixing Technique couldn't do anything to those formations. However, the Acupoint-Fixing Technique crippled the Five Ghost Yin Wind Sword Formation that had killed several Venerables. Only then did Zhang Xuezhou realize that this technique of the Xiangmen sect was simply the nemesis of formations.

He could freely enter and exit such a small formation without suffering any harm.

"If Law Power is overwhelming, the Acupoint-Fixing Technique will destroy any formation created by any organization!"

Zhang Xuezhou thought about the bright future of Acupoint-Fixing Technique, and he still had some ideas in his mind.

But Zhang Xuezhou couldn't be happy whenever he thought about the transformed Yang Soul that the Venerable One had forcibly inserted into his body.

If this problem cannot be solved, his life is basically set in stone, and there's no way he'll have any overwhelming Law Power.

After scheming countless times, he got rid of Li Guang's troubles, gathered the skills of the Yin Yang Nine People Sect, and also obtained the Cloud Leap Technique and a powerful medicine.

But in the end, he was unable to continue his cultivation.

Such a huge difference would be difficult for most people to accept.

Zhang Xuezhou was no exception.

However, even if he messes up this world, he can still return to the real world to cause trouble, so at least he has a way out.

Life is truly full of ups and downs, and unexpected events are always unpredictable!

Zhang Xuezhou muttered a few words, then searched for a safe and reliable place to sleep in Hongku's villa.

He wandered around for a while, carefully examining any places where Incantation Technique traps might be hidden.

It's perfectly normal for a sorcerer to be cautious in the house of a master Incantation Technique, as this is the best way to ensure his safety.

"Huh? Easy?"

After going back and forth through various places, they also rummaged through boxes and cabinets to remove Incantation Technique mediums.

Zhang Xuezhou only stopped flipping through the pages when he came across an old, worn-out bamboo scroll.

"How can you just throw out these kinds of documents like that?"

Zhang Xuezhou studied it for several minutes and felt that the Book of Changes belonged to some kind of auxiliary technique of the Fuxi Physiognomy School.

Just as the Mental Strengthening Chapter provides support for the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, the Book of Changes also belongs to this type of auxiliary doctrine.

"It seems to be related to physiognomy, but the content looks like a jumbled mess!"

The content of the Book of Changes is obscure, and it contains many ancient characters that Zhang Xuezhou found difficult to identify, but Zhang Xuezhou still managed to decipher the relevant information.

This made him more cautious.

"I knew this old man was secretive; all his oaths and guarantees were useless!"

After scanning it once, Zhang Xuezhou carefully put the Book of Changes back in its original place, and even used his clothes to wipe away his fingerprints.

After thinking for a moment, he found a place to hide the Nine Treasures Wine as well.

Once everything was ready, he removed a door panel and lay down on it, feeling reassured that it was unlikely to cause any problems.

The 711 review is under review. It is probably because there is an extra word "policy" in it and it has been blocked. It is still under review.
