Old Jiang and his companions were furious, but dared not cause trouble in front of the master. A small dragon vein? What a wonderful place to settle down, yet their descendants could not benefit from it.

You must understand, they were exiled to this place, and they dream of returning to their former glory.

But they were taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives, and it's possible that they would even have to sacrifice their souls. How could they possibly accept that?

Now it depends on whether the two masters are willing to intervene in this matter; otherwise, they will truly have nowhere to turn for help and can only wait for fate to take its course.

Wu Chenxi also understood that the people the other party had painstakingly selected were all people with mild personalities and who were not easily impulsive in their previous lives.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to stay quietly in this mountain forest for the past hundred years. You know, there are villages nearby. With his nearly hundred years of soul power, if he wanted to do something, there would really be no stopping him.

The residents in this area are a good choice, and their descendants live here. It's easy to keep these people firmly in your grasp.

"Don't worry, since we, master and disciple, have run into this, we will naturally resolve it."

"You just need to wait patiently until we find the other locations, then we can break the formation as quickly as possible without alerting the enemy."

Even if they alert the other side, as long as they act quickly enough, the other side cannot stop them. Once the formation is broken, their century-long plan will come to naught.

Hua Xiangyun immediately understood her master's plan. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, she directly placed a restriction on several souls, so that they could not talk about what happened today.

Their task is no small matter now. Before the formation is fully completed, the person who set up the formation will definitely send someone to guard it. It's just unknown whether the person who set up the formation is still there, otherwise they will be a formidable enemy.

They needed to figure out the location of several minor dragon veins before the enemy arrived and break the formation as quickly as possible.

It sounds simple, but it's not so easy to actually implement.

The only saving grace is that, based on these two formations and their locations, the other minor dragon veins can be found very quickly.

"How is your senior brother's cultivation progressing?"

Hua Xiangyun said, "I'm about the same level as you, but I've been busy with mundane matters lately, which has caused me some delays."

The two had originally planned to go to Haicheng, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they had to postpone their trip. Now, with the addition of the Nine Dragons Returning to One Formation, their travel plans have to be indefinitely postponed...

"Let's see if we can sort these things out before your wedding," Wu Chenxi wanted to find a reliable helper, but she didn't trust anyone else, so she had to include Jiang Yi in the list.

"After we get back, I need to have Comrade Jiang Yi come over. There are some things I need to explain to him."

Hua Xiangyun: "Yes, are we still going to Xunjia Village?"

Wu Chenxi said, "I still have to go. There are some things I need to explain."

It would be best to place a restriction on these souls, just like the ones here. There can't be the slightest mistake now, otherwise the master and disciple will not only be unable to solve the problem, but may even bring disaster upon themselves.

Deep in the mountains, the master and his apprentice walked straight ahead and soon arrived at the back mountain of Xunjia Village.

Those few souls dared not wander around anymore, and were overjoyed to see Hua Xiangyun suddenly arrive.

Hua Xiangyun didn't hide anything and told them about the importance of the matter, and then placed a restriction on them.

After setting everything up, the master and apprentice, having already taken two days off, split up and each found three more locations.

However, they couldn't find the last place even after meeting up, so Hua Xiangyun had to go back first, while Wu Chenxi stayed behind to investigate.

Upon hearing about this formation, Jiang Yi fell silent, pondering further, "Those who can withstand this dragon vein are probably no ordinary people."

The dynasty's fate is sealed, and sorcerers are unlikely to serve them. So, for whom is this formation set up? This needs careful consideration.

Jiang Yi then took out paper and pen, and found a map, and started writing and drawing on the table.

When he stopped, both of them looked serious.

The direction of the sacrificial offerings all points in one direction. There is no need for our own country to steal our national destiny; that would only be the work of foreign powers.

"These Japanese bandits are truly still greedy. No, it should be said that they have long coveted this land."

Hua Xiangyun said, "I don't know which sect it is, but they are so accomplice to evil, unable to distinguish between inside and outside. They are even more despicable than those spies."

Those who truly know this land are the local people. Without an inside traitor, these people would have no way to bring this matter to fruition.

I don't know what benefits they offered that would make them do something as treacherous as betraying their ancestors.

"Talk to Master properly later. This might not be something the three of us can handle. If we don't do it right, we might even get bitten back." Jiang Yi reminded Hua Xiangyun that Wu Chenxi's intentions were good, but she forgot about the despicable nature of some people.

Hua Xiangyun also had concerns: "But right now the other side is in the dark while we are in the light. If we accidentally let them know that their plan has been leaked and they trigger the formation in advance, it will be too late for us to stop them."

If the feng shui and spiritual energy of this area were absorbed, it would take hundreds of years to recover. Hua Xiangyun knew which responsibility was more important than her own petty interests.

Jiang Yi, "...Are you planning to do good deeds anonymously?"

Hua Xiangyun said, "Of course it's not that great, but the land we protect will naturally bring us blessings, even if we can't see or touch them, they will only benefit us."

Hua Xiangyun knew that her senior brother wasn't such a profit-driven person. He was worried that they were in danger and wanted to find more people to share the risk. In case they really clashed with the other side, they might have a better chance of winning.

What else could Jiang Yi do but risk his life to accompany him? "Give me some more spiritual liquid. Let's work harder on our cultivation during this time. I've already prepared two sets of medicinal herbs. Let's try to advance to the next level."

Both of them are currently at the mid-level, level five. They are still quite far from being able to reach the level of a Grand Celestial Master. When they actually fight, a difference of one level can be fatal.

Hua Xiangyun quickly took out the items and poured a small portion of the jade bottle for him. However, looking at her own portion of the medicine, Hua Xiangyun hesitated, "How long will it take to prepare another portion?"

Jiang Yi knew her intention, "...I need to give you a few more days." If it were before, it would be simple, but now traditional Chinese medicine is being suppressed, and many senior doctors have been sent to various places. Even if they have medicinal herbs, others dare not show them.

He managed to gather both doses of medicine by going to a large pharmacy in Beijing when he passed through the city.

Because no one expected to be so lucky this time, to have a medicinal herb field, the herbs that originally looked ordinary have now become urgently needed supplies.

Hua Xiangyun said, "If Master's cultivation level could be improved further, it would provide us with an extra layer of protection."

Jiang Yi patted her head. "I understand. It's just that my custom-made wooden tub will take a while to arrive anyway, so a few days later won't matter."
