He then took out a piece of jade and carved an entry token on it. This way, anyone who wanted to enter would not be blocked by the defensive formation if they wore the entry token.
Wu Hui watched Qing Xuanzi's actions with admiration in his eyes.
He carefully took the entry token handed to him by Qing Xuanzi, examined it closely, and found that it was engraved with complex runes that emitted a faint light, making it look very mysterious.
He simply didn't know how to use it: "Master, how do I use this entry token?"
Qing Xuanzi explained, "You only need to wear this entry token on your person. When you get close to the Vermilion Fruit Tree, the formation will automatically sense it and allow you to enter smoothly. However, try to avoid going in unnecessarily to prevent disrupting the energy field."
Wu Hui nodded, carefully put away the array token, and said, "Thank you, Master. With this array, our Vermilion Fruit Tree is much safer."
Qing Xuanzi hummed in agreement: "Although this formation is simple, it is sufficient to deal with ordinary threats. However, Clan Chief Wu should still be more careful, after all, this Vermilion Fruit Tree is not an ordinary fruit tree. Once it bears fruit, it will inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble."
Wu Hui said, "Master, rest assured, our Wu family will definitely protect this Vermilion Fruit Tree well. By the way, Master, what do you plan to do with the remaining Vermilion Fruit Tree?"
Qing Xuanzi looked at another Vermilion Fruit Tree: "I will dig up this Vermilion Fruit Tree and take it with me to plant on the Immortal Mountain."
Wu Hui said to the middle-aged man who had been following him, "A Yong, go find some young men to help the master dig out the fruit trees."
A Yong was about to agree when Qing Xuanzi stopped him, saying, "No need for such trouble. I can make it out with a single spell."
After saying that, Qing Xuanzi waved his hands, and a soft blue light surged from his palms, instantly enveloping the roots of the Vermilion Fruit Tree.
As the blue light flickered, the surrounding ground began to tremble slightly, as if some force was slowly pushing it forward.
Qing Xuanzi uttered a soft command: "Rise!"
The vermilion fruit tree, roots and all, slowly rose from the ground and floated in mid-air. The soil around its roots was enveloped in a blue light, keeping the soil ball intact.
Wu Hui and the rest of the clansmen were all amazed when they saw this.
Although they knew that Qing Xuanzi was highly skilled, they were still deeply shocked to see such amazing magic with their own eyes.
Ah Yong's eyes widened even more, and he murmured, "The master's magic is truly divine!"
Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly, put the floating Vermilion Fruit Tree into a spatial talisman, and said, "The matter here is settled, so I will not stay any longer. I will take my leave now."
Wu Hui quickly said, "Master, it's past noon now. Why don't you stay in the village for the night and leave tomorrow?"
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "No need, we have tents, we can still travel quite a distance if we leave now."
An older member of the Wu family clan chimed in, "Then you should at least have a meal before you leave. We've already had food prepared. Even if you're in a hurry, Master, you still need to eat, and besides, the little ones must be hungry too."
Qing Xuanzi looked down and saw Rong Jiaojiao, who looked eager as soon as she heard about eating. Qing Xuanzi nodded.
When Wu Hui saw that Qing Xuanzi had agreed to stay for dinner, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he quickly said, "That's good, that's good."
He turned around and instructed, "A-Yong, go and have someone deliver the food to my house."
Ah Yong replied "Yes," then turned and quickly left.
Wu Hui then said to Qing Xuanzi, "Master, please come with me. Let's have a simple meal at my home. Although there are no delicacies, it is just a small token of our Wu family's appreciation."
Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly and said, "Clan Chief Wu, you're too kind. As long as we can fill our stomachs, that's fine. We Xuanmen disciples have never been particular about such things."
The Wu family elder also said, "Master, please, this way."
With that, they led Qing Xuanzi and his group out of the ancestral hall.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, I heard a commotion coming from not far away.
Wu Hui frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Why is it so noisy?"
I quickly walked out of the courtyard gate and happened to meet a group of people outside the gate.
Upon seeing his son at the front of the crowd, Wu Hui exclaimed happily, "Is Aci back?"
Upon seeing his father and the clan elders, Wu Xinci quickly stepped forward to greet them and then introduced the young men in black uniforms beside him to Wu Hui: "Father, these are comrades from the metaphysics group of the special national department. This is the group leader, Pan Hao, and the others are his group members. They are here to investigate the unusual situation in the village."
Upon hearing that they were from the National Metaphysics Group, Wu Hui's expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly cupped his hands and said, "So you are a comrade from the Metaphysics Group. My apologies for not recognizing you."
Pan Hao, who was in the lead, nodded slightly and said, "Clan Chief Wu, we know about the situation in your village. However, the capital is quite far from here, and we are late. We wonder what the situation is now?"
His gaze then fell on Qing Xuanzi, Rong Jiaojiao, and the two spirit beasts. They were clearly kindred spirits, and their cultivation was even higher than his own. He respectfully said, "Greetings, senior. May I ask what brings you here?"
He was somewhat puzzled; weren't there already masters?
Why are you still going to find them?
Wu Hui was a little embarrassed, but he still honestly recounted what had happened.
Pan Hao wasn't angry that someone had solved the problem. Instead, he thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your help, senior. However, we need to report this. Could you please explain the situation to us in detail?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "That's certainly possible."
He was about to give a brief explanation of the situation when Wu Hui interrupted, "I suppose none of us have eaten yet. Why don't we go to my house and have a meal first, and then we can talk slowly?"
Hearing his beloved disciple's stomach rumbling, Qing Xuanzi said to Pan Hao apologetically, "Team Leader Pan, how about we go get something to eat first?"
Pan Hao naturally heard Rong Jiaojiao's stomach rumbling, and nodded with a smile: "I was too impatient. Then I'll trouble Chief Wu."
Wu Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Not at all, not at all. This way please. I suppose Ah Yong has already prepared the meal. Let's go over now."
"Master, comrades, please follow me."
As he spoke, he led Qing Xuanzi, Pan Hao, and the elders of the Wu family toward Wu Hui's house.
Wu Hui's home is located in the center of the village; it's a typical farmhouse courtyard. Although simple, it's kept very clean and tidy.
Ah Yong had already set up a table and chairs in the yard, which were filled with steaming hot food.
Wu Hui led everyone into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Please sit down, everyone. Although there's nothing fancy, it's all grown by our Wu family, so it's very fresh."
Pan Hao looked at the food on the table, nodded and said, "Clan Chief Wu, you're too kind. In these days, it's already good enough to have enough to eat, let alone such a sumptuous meal."
