The old man closed his eyes and said lightly, "This scroll records more than a dozen basic formations, including the Spirit Gathering Array used for cultivation and formations for defense against enemies."
He seed to have guessed that Xu Wendong did not trust him and added, "I am known as the Hermit of Green Mountain in the cultivation realm, and I am moderately famous. I would not engage in deceitful acts."
Faced with the situation, Xu Wendong decided to take a gamble, "Very well, I happen to have a Tongxin Grass in my hand. Let us trade it for the scroll." As he spoke, a completely green Tongxin Grass appeared in his hand. This was a rare herb that could be refined into a Tongxin Pill.
The Tongxin Pill’s function was to help Foundation Establishnt Cultivators better resist Heart Demons during tribulation and Solidifying Pill.
The Hermit of Green Mountain opened his eyes, unable to hide his inner joy. After confirming it was Tongxin Grass, he gave the Complete Basics of Formation Techniques scroll to Xu Wendong.
"How should I address you, young friend?"
"My na is Xu Wendong."
The Hermit of Green Mountain nodded slightly, "I hope this Complete Basics of Formation Techniques scroll will assist you."
After bidding farewell to the Hermit of Green Mountain, Xu Wendong went to a nearby pavilion, impatiently unlocking the seal on the scroll, then studied it intently.
As the Hermit of Green Mountain had said, it contained many basic formations, not only the Spirit Gathering Array but also the Earthfire Array and several attack and defense formations.
Despite having obtained the inheritance of formations, he encountered another problem: Setting up formations required Spirit Stones as the array base, and he currently had no Spirit Stones.
However, he was not worried at all, as he had previously seen soone selling Spirit Stones.
Indeed, in this place, as long as it was a cultivation resource, it was available, including Spirit Stones.
At this mont.
Qian Wantian walked over from the distance and said heartily, "Wendong, you’ve co all the way to Shaanxi Province, I must fulfill my duty as a host. See if there is anything you like, and if there is, your uncle will give it to you."
Qian Wantian was a straightforward person, not to ntion Xu Wendong had saved Qian Duoduo and helped him achieve a breakthrough to Grandmaster.
Xu Wendong laughed, "Since Uncle Qian said so, then I won’t stand on ceremony!"
At this mont.
The Han Clan Leader, Han Jicheng, brought two elders over, both of whom had late-stage Foundation Establishnt strength.
Upon seeing Qian Wantian and his son, a murderous intent flickered in Han Jicheng’s eyes, and he said coldly, "Mr. Qian, don’t you owe an explanation?"
Qian Wantian squinted slightly, "Mr. Han, what do you an by this?"
Han Jicheng snorted coldly, "My son went to the Qinling Mountains to find your son, yet your son returned, and mine has disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Duoduo panicked. He knew the Han Family had targeted him; otherwise, Han Jicheng wouldn’t question publicly.
Though panicked, he didn’t lose his composure.
He retorted angrily, "Mr. Han, you just said your son went to the Qinling Mountains to find ? Ha, don’t you have a sense of whether it was to find ?"
Han Jicheng, "So, you have seen my son?"
Qian Duoduo, "Yes, I saw your son. Not only him but also many experts with him. They intended to kill us, but they discovered sothing and then separated from us."
Saying this, he looked at his father and said, "Dad, Han Kai offended my cousin Wendong on the plane. After disembarking, he gathered a large group to seek revenge. When I found out, I didn’t retaliate; I only punished him by making him run naked in public, but he tried to murder us. It is simply outrageous."
"You must seek justice for us," he complained to his relative like a wronged child, showing particular anger.
A chill flashed in Qian Wantian’s eyes, "Mr. Han, young people scuffle, it’s normal. But you plot to harm my son and nephew’s lives. Isn’t that a bit too much?"
"You can’t possibly think the Qian Family is a pushover?" His voice grew colder, and a terrifying aura erupted from him.
Even though his strength wasn’t peerless, he was still the richest man in Shaanxi Province and was once on the top echelon of combat power in Jianghu, making his aura quite daunting.
Moreover, as a breaking-boundaries Great Grandmaster, even when facing a Foundation Establishnt Peak expert at close range, he felt no fear.
After all, he possessed his own domain and had a physical body more than twice as strong as that of a cultivator.
Han Jicheng was suddenly flustered.
He couldn’t understand why Qian Wantian was so arrogant.
After all, the world was no longer ruled by ancient martial artists, especially since he had two late-stage Foundation Establishnt experts by his side.
Regaining composure, he barked, "Mr. Qian, my Han family long ago honored our ancestors and returned to the Han Family of Kunlun Mountains Minor World. Do you intend to make enemies of the Han Family of Kunlun Mountains?"
Qian Wantian sneered, "Today, hundreds of experts and seniors have gathered; let’s have them judge. I’m only stating a fact; since when did that an being enemies with you?"
"Even if your Han Family is backed by the Han Family of Kunlun Mountains, you cannot go too far in bullying us, can you not?"
With these words, the surrounding people began to discuss.
Although the cultivation realm valued strength, everyone had a moral compass, one nad fairness and justice.
To be honest, Han Jicheng’s actions indeed reflected poorly, drawing scorn.
"Due to the Heavenly Dao Rules, we reside in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World. Now that we’re in the mortal world, adherence to worldly rules is essential; it is unwise to abuse power in a way that undermines a cultivator’s dignity!"
Perhaps because of his trade with Xu Wendong, the voice of the Hermit of Green Mountain resounded.
Though his voice was calm, it sent shivers down the two Foundation Establishnt Stage experts from the Han Family, who clearly recognized the identity of the speaker.
An elderly man cupped his hands, "Greetings, Hermit. Our Han Family had no intention of abusing power; there are matters that require confrontation."
"Our clan sent over ten disciples to the Qinling Mountains seeking opportunities but lost contact, their fates unknown."
"Before disappearing, a mber sent a ssage claiming they were being pursued."
"Now, they’ve returned safely, while my clansn’s fates remain unknown. I suspect they killed my clansn."
Xu Wendong snorted, "Your clansn did indeed pursue us, but it doesn’t prove we killed them, does it?"
"Everyone, weigh in. I, at their rcy, how could I possibly strike back at stronger pursuers? If I had such ability, why would I be hunted?"
"You can’t just hold us responsible for your clansn’s disappearance, can you?"
"My brother just said, they discovered so opportunity while chasing us, then ceased pursuit. This is how we narrowly escaped."
That elder’s eyes flickered with a chill, "Whether you killed them can be easily tested."
Xu Wendong, "How do you propose to test?"
