Everyone was sitting in the main room chatting and discussing arrangements for tomorrow's wedding.
Hearing someone knocking on the courtyard door, Su Jinyue stood up and walked forward to open the door.
Seeing Xu Jinfeng outside the door, Su Jinyue was stunned for a moment, "Xu Jinfeng, why are you here? Is something wrong with Master?"
Xu Jinfeng smiled and shook his head, "I'm here to give you this painting."
"Where did the painting come from?" Su Jinyue looked at the painting in Xu Jinfeng's hand with some surprise.
"It was sent by the man who hit my second uncle. He said it was to thank you for not asking him to pay compensation." Xu Jinfeng briefly recounted what happened after Ma Xiaojun and his wife arrived at the ward.
Su Jinyue nodded and took the painting. "Come in and sit for a while."
"No, I need to go back to the hospital," Xu Jinfeng said. Compared to his father and third uncle, he was more suitable to stay in the hospital to take care of his second uncle. After all, he was the youngest.
"Okay, then I won't keep you here. Thank you for delivering it to me." Su Jinyue said with a smile.
"Don't be polite, we're family. I'm leaving now." Xu Jinfeng smiled at Su Jinyue, turned around and walked out of the alley.
Su Jinyue took a look at the painting in her hand, smiled, closed the gate, turned around and walked inside.
"Who is it?" Lin Su asked when she saw Su Jinyue coming in alone.
"It was Xu Jinfeng. He sent me a painting." Su Jinyue explained the reason why Ma Xiaojun sent me the painting.
"He is a very honest man," said Wang Meizhen.
"What painting did he give you?" Zhan Dafeng looked at the scroll in Su Jinyue's hand curiously.
Su Jinyue placed the scroll on the table and unfolded it. A landscape painting slowly appeared in front of everyone. In the painting, huge rocks and green peaks were stacked one after another, trees formed forests in the mountains, thousands of peaks competed for beauty, and thousands of valleys were rugged and majestic.
"This painting uses flexible brushwork, using different techniques of outlining, incising, dotting and dyeing to depict different scenes of mountains, rocks and forests, thus achieving a flat and deep layout of mountains and hills, simple, lush and tranquil. It is obvious that it was created by a master." Su Lihe said with appreciation.
As Su Jinyue unfolded the scroll, a subtle glint of brilliance flashed in her eyes. She raised her head and met Zhan Yihan's gaze. Zhan Yihan nodded slightly, evidently noticing the painting's peculiarity. The painting appeared to be just an ordinary landscape painting, but it contained a seventh-level formation restriction. Both she and Yihan had reached the seventh level in formation cultivation, so they could immediately discern the restriction.
"This painting should be very expensive, right?" Zhan Dafeng asked after hearing Su Lihe's words. In his eyes, paintings were divided into expensive and cheap.
Su Lihe nodded, "At least one hundred thousand." In addition to studying medicine, he also dabbled in chess and painting.
"One hundred thousand!" Zhan Dafeng and Wang Meizhen opened their eyes wide in shock. This price was beyond their expectations.
"So, didn't we take advantage of that guy?" Qin Xiaoyun said.
Su Jinyue nodded. "After the wedding, Yihan and I will go find that person." They certainly wouldn't return the painting to the other party, but they also wouldn't take advantage of the other party. The painting must be very restrictive, so it would be useless for an ordinary person to take it. Instead of that, they might as well give the other party some practical benefits.
She planned to open the restriction with Yihan after returning to her room. With Yihan's parents and Qin Xiaoyun around, she couldn't talk about it. After all, it was too mysterious for them.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Su Jinyue put away the painting and walked towards her room with Zhan Yihan.
After closing the door, Zhan Yihan set up a formation and sat down at the table with Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue took out the painting and unfolded it. Zhan Yihan carefully observed it with his spiritual sense, "I will remove the restriction now."
"Okay." Su Jinyue responded.
Zhan Yihan concentrated his mind and began to refine the restrictions on the scroll.
As time passed, the restriction was slowly refined.
Su Jinyue stared at Zhan Yihan, waiting for the moment the barrier was refined. While Yihan's formation skills were slightly inferior to hers, his cultivation was a full level higher. She was at the peak of the late Jindan stage, while Yihan was at the peak of the late Yuanying stage. She was glad he was stronger than her, because she loved the feeling of being protected by him.
"Crack!" A barely audible sound was heard.
At the same time, a vague shadow floated out of the painting, it was a soul.
Upon seeing this, Zhan Yihan immediately summoned a ball of flame to surround the spirit. From the pressure emanating from the spirit, it could be determined that it was the spirit of a cultivator.
"I am finally free, hahahaha..." The soul laughed loudly, ignoring the flames around it.
"Who are you?" Su Jinyue asked, her battle flag already ready. This spirit was no ordinary being; it wasn't even afraid of Yi Han's flames.
Only then did the soul notice Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. When it saw Zhan Yihan, its eyes suddenly lit up, "Stellar physique, it's actually the legendary star physique. I didn't expect that I, Xun Haotian, am so lucky to encounter such a heaven-defying physique as soon as I came out. Boy, give me your body obediently, otherwise I will destroy your soul and spirit." As it spoke, it had already pounced on Zhan Yihan.
Su Jinyue quickly raised the formation flag, trying to stop the soul, but found that the formation was useless against the soul, and it had quickly penetrated into Zhan Yihan's body.
"Yihan!" Su Jinyue shouted anxiously. This spirit was clearly trying to take over someone else's body. How could she help Yihan?
"Don't worry." Zhan Yihan gave Su Jinyue a reassuring smile and closed his eyes.
Su Jinyue stared at Zhan Yihan nervously, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear. Her clenched fists tightened, her nails digging into her palms, causing sharp pain, but she felt nothing. She had never been so terrified as she was now. If Yihan were possessed, she would chase him to the ends of the earth and kill the possessing spirit. As long as Yihan was alive, she would chase him, and even if he died, she would chase him without hesitation.
Zhan Yihan's brows were tightly furrowed, sometimes showing pain, sometimes solemnity, and it was obvious that he was fighting with the soul in his body.
Su Jinyue wanted to use her spiritual sense to see through Zhan Yihan's body and observe what was happening inside him, but she was blocked by a barrier. She got the same result when she used X-ray vision. She was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Zhan Yihan waved his spiritual hand and summoned the Xuanyuan Sword.
The spirit seeking to possess the body saw the Xuan-Yuan Sword and was startled, then revealed a look of joy as it rushed towards Zhan Yihan. This was a powerful opportunity for it; not only had it encountered a legendary stellar physique, but the opponent also possessed the ancient artifact, the Xuan-Yuan Sword. If it succeeded in possessing the body, all of this would be its own.
"Fire Phoenix, summon the flames." While Zhan Yihan was giving the order to the Fire Phoenix, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, with powerful momentum, swept towards the soul that wanted to take over the body.
