The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 512 Preventing the Spread of Wildfires (2 Updates)
Yun Ran's eyes were also busy, looking around while her hands formed hand seals, trying to find any hidden methods nearby.

After thoroughly checking the area and finding absolutely no problems, Yunran recalled the peach wood sword and the Heavenly Thunder Token.

Qingfeng Temple also has its own secluded meditation room, which was built entirely by the little paper dolls themselves. The logistics staff didn't even get a chance to touch it.

The construction of the core area was entirely handled by the little paper doll.

At this moment, Yun Ran strode towards the secluded cultivation room.

We arrived at the place quickly. From a distance, it looked like an ordinary two-story building.

Yunran carefully checked it and found it met her requirements. Then, she sat down on the ground and began to set up the formation.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Yunran's forehead, the little paper doll felt a pang of sympathy.

But they couldn't do much to help; they could only watch quietly from a distance.

Fortunately, there was no one around this place. Otherwise, the place where Yun Ran was setting up the formation would have been emitting halos of various colors from time to time, which would have really frightened others.

After an unknown amount of time, the formation was finally completed.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ran took out a petal of the Black Ice Lotus that she had previously refined and directly inserted it into the formation.

In an instant, layers of thin ice appeared around the perfectly good two-story building, making it look like it was made of ice.

But soon, those layers of thin ice disappeared again, and the small building returned to its original state.

Yun Ran was immediately satisfied. With this Black Ice Lotus, she could enjoy a comfortable environment in her secluded cultivation room, where it would be warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, she would not be disturbed by fire-based spells.

In the future, even if someone tries to attack Qingfeng Temple, methods such as fire attacks and lightning strikes will be completely useless.

"This place is all set up; it's time to move on to the next spot."

After a whole day of effort, Yunran finally managed to set up formations in three key locations.

Looking at the nature reserve in the distance, and the many trees that were already there, the biggest fear was that the wildfire would spread.

After thinking for a moment, Yunran took out some petals from the Black Ice Lotus and arranged them into a very beautiful lotus flower.

Then, with a single palm strike, he shoved the black ice lotus into the ground. From then on, the mountain fires could not be ignited within a radius of hundreds of miles, and would not affect Qingfeng Temple at all.

The little paper figures clearly recognized the black ice lotus in Yun Ran's hand as being made from the black stone they had dug out of the big pit.

They were overjoyed that what they had found was useful: "Master, we can go dig up some more!"

Yunran thought about how she still had more than half of the stones in her bag that she hadn't used up yet.

She quickly shook her head: "No need, I haven't finished using it yet."

At that time, the little paper figure wanted to continue digging for the stone core, but she stopped him.

She's not the kind of person who would try to get all the resources into her own bowl.

Those stones have been nourished by yin energy for millions of years, and they're probably almost developed sentience. She didn't want to cause herself any trouble.

After the black ice lotus was driven into the ground, several old men who were cultivating in caves in the distant nature reserve suddenly opened their eyes.

"Who dares to block the fire elemental power beneath this mountain range!"

They went through a lot of trouble to find such a suitable place to recuperate.

"my hand!"

One of them screamed, and suddenly, at a speed visible to the naked eye, wisps of cold air began to emanate from one of his hands. In no time, it was covered with layers of white frost, as if it had been taken from an ice cellar.

"I'm here to help you!"

The person who spoke slapped the hand, and the hand that was about to freeze gradually returned to its normal flesh color.

"What on earth is going on? Does someone else know that there is fire elemental power here?"

"If I find out who's causing trouble here, I'll slaughter their entire family!"

"We can't stay here any longer. We must leave as soon as possible. There aren't many obstacles left. The Special Administration Bureau and that group of unknown people who injured us will soon find us by following their trail."

"Okay, let's go when it gets dark!"

Yun Ran had no idea that she had forcibly suppressed the fire elemental power beneath the nature reserve simply to prevent wildfires.

All I can say is that this stone, nourished by yin energy, possesses an almost supernatural power.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yunran stretched her neck and waist, preparing to go down the mountain.

It will take at least ten more days to set up the formations and restrictions at Qingfeng Temple.

Qingfeng Temple is not yet habitable, and it's inconvenient to travel hundreds of kilometers round trip to Huiran Mansion every day; it's too much of a waste of time. It's better to find a hotel nearby and just make do.

The nearby hotels are only a few dozen kilometers away.

Setting up an array is truly exhausting. Yun Ran ate a little something and quickly fell asleep.

Unbeknownst to them, after darkness fell completely, those old men had all donned black cloaks and left the nature reserve.

The little paper figure left behind at Qingfeng Temple sensed a trace of the aura of evil cultivators.

After flying out of Qingfeng Temple, I looked around but didn't find anything amiss.

I immediately realized that I must have been mistaken, or it might be because of the stones I had dug down from the snow-capped mountains.

Three days later, Yunran had set up most of the array formations in Qingfeng Temple, only the restrictions were left, but that was more troublesome.

Yunran returned to the hotel early again, planning to have dinner and then rest and recharge.

In the hotel's dining room, a group of tourists were gossiping.

"Hey, you guys know what? There was a really bad traffic accident on our way here, it was awful!"

"I've heard about it too, but what I heard is really weird. I heard that an old man suddenly fell to the ground and the car in front had to swerve to avoid him."

And guess what? The old man was perfectly fine, but the car that swerved to avoid him suddenly caught fire.

An explosion occurred, which affected the cars behind it, causing a dozen or twenty cars to catch fire.

Neither the dashcam footage nor the surrounding area showed any trace of the old man.

Only one child herding sheep nearby saw it, and many people guessed that it must have been that child who saw something unclean…

It was already getting dark, and these people were still talking about these mysterious topics.

Just then, a gust of wind blew in without warning, startling everyone who had been talking, causing them to scream and yell.

At the same time, Yunran looked up and inadvertently saw a somewhat familiar figure from behind.
