One person: plays Wendy, the most carefree director of Nadu.

Unbeknownst to Su Mu and the others, Gong Qing and his group had already followed from behind.

They traveled by helicopter from Barron's to the vicinity of the Qinling Mountains.

"This is the best the plane can go."

Barron waved his hand, and the helicopter then took off and flew away.

"From now on, we'll have to walk."

"Yes, I can." Mei Jinfeng adjusted her large reading glasses. "I can find my way here now."

"Although it's been a long time since I've been here, this is still a place where the sect leader often brings me."

"So I still remember the way."

"Let's go then."

As they were talking, they decided to hike into the mountains, but Su Mu quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"etc!"

Zhang Chulan turned around and asked, "Brother Su, what's wrong?"

Su Mu didn't answer directly, but walked to a patch of grass and parted the clumps—

In the grass, a cigarette butt, trampled out, lay quietly.

This was something he just threw away using the Thousand Winds Decree: Seclusion when no one was looking.

He had no choice but to make these people believe that someone had stepped ahead of them so that he could leave the group early, but he couldn't say it directly.

Therefore, we might as well resort to some means.

Upon seeing this, Xia Liuqing scoffed and said, "It's just a cigarette butt that's been stepped out. What's the big deal?"

"Don't worry, it won't set the mountain on fire."

"Xia Liuqing, you idiot!"

Wang Zhenqiu rolled his eyes.

"Is the key question whether the cigarette butt was stubbed out?"

"This is a no-man's-land deep in the Qinling Mountains. Even helicopters can only fly this far before having to turn back!"

"How did this cigarette butt get here?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Liuqing scratched his head and said, "You little rascal, you mean... someone was here before we were?"

"Yes," Zhang Chulan nodded, "and it must be those guys behind Ma Xianhong who kidnapped Granny Jin Feng before!"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Mei Jinfeng was so anxious that she jumped up and down.

"Hurry up and let's go!"

"If we get there late, those guys will take all of the sect leader's things!"

"Walking like this is too slow."

Su Mu shook his head and said, "I sensed a special Qi formation in the distance when I was in the helicopter earlier."

"That should be our destination, right?"

"That's right." Mei Jinfeng nodded. "That's our destination, Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

"However, the special Qi formation of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley requires a special method of entry to ensure safety."

"Otherwise, the entire power of the Qi formation will be poured onto you; in severe cases, it might even cause you to choke to death on your own saliva!"

Qi formations are indeed extremely dangerous, especially this special kind of Qi formation.

But for Su Mu, it was not without a solution.

While the Qi formation is indeed dangerous, the danger, or the way it is triggered, lies in entering in the wrong way.

The Qi formation will not attack anything that is already within it.

This can be proven by the monkey troop in the Twenty-Four Seasonal Valley.

Over the years, there must have been newborn monkeys in the troop.

If even within the Qi formation, one can still be attacked by the Qi formation, then none of the newborn monkeys will survive.

Therefore, Su Mu only needs to avoid the outer perimeter of the Qi formation and directly enter the center of the Qi formation to avoid its influence.

"I do have a way to circumvent that," Su Mu said, "but only I can do it."

"I'll go into the Qi Bureau first and stop those guys. You guys just need to follow me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan frowned slightly.

In his ideal scenario, he would be the first to enter Wugensheng's treasure trove.

Because he always felt that there was something extraordinary in Wugensheng's collection.

It would be very troublesome if someone else got hold of these things.

But if it's Brother Su, it's not impossible.

At least, Su Ge already knew Bao Jie's secret.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan nodded.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Brother Su."

"If those people are too difficult to deal with, we can hold off for now and fight them all together when we arrive."

"Also, be sure to protect those precious items inside; don't let them take them away."

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he winked at Su Mu, afraid that Su Mu might not understand.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the things."

Su Mu agreed, spread his Wind God Wings, flapped them, and flew away.

"no?"

"Are all young people these days resorting to such outrageous methods?"

No, don't misunderstand.

Zhang Chulan shrugged.

"The only one who's really outrageous is Brother Su."

Wang Zhenqiu moved closer to Zhang Chulan and put his arm around his neck.

"Zhang Chulan, you seem to be quite interested in Senior Wugensheng's collection."

"And back in Biyou Village... what secret did you and Feng Baobao share?"

"No, what secrets could we possibly have?"

Zhang Chulan chuckled.

"I just asked Brother Su to intercept those people."

Wang Zhenqiu squinted at Zhang Chulan, and finally grinned.

"Okay, so you're going to play like this?"

"Then I'll find the answer myself."

Wang Zhenqiu released Zhang Chulan and followed Xia Liuqing deeper into the area.

Zhang Chulan frowned slightly as he watched Wang Zhenqiu's retreating figure.

I've been targeted by this guy again... This is really troublesome.

Brother Su, we're counting on you!

……

At this moment, Su Mu had already flapped his wings and arrived at the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

If it weren't for his ability to sense the Qi flowing below through his wind domain perception, Su Mu wouldn't even know that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley lay beneath him.

From the outside, it looks like a hillside covered with lush trees.

It should be the confusing effect of the Qi formation on the outside world.

With a thought, Su Mu used the Thousand Winds Decree: Seclusion on himself.

With a gust of wind, Su Mu arrived in a pure white world.

Although it is pure white, you can still see the scenery outside.

Overall, it's as if the outside world has been veiled in white.

In this white world, Chen Duo was squatting in a corner, playing the mobile game "Protect the Radish".

Due to the rules of the Thousand Winds Law, unless Su Mu reveals himself, she will not know that Su Mu has entered this special plane.

Su Mu didn't rush to leave. Instead, he went up to greet Chen Duo, chatted for a while, handed her his phone with the latest games installed, and then said goodbye.

After interacting with Chen Duo for a while, Su Mu began to move into the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

Even in this secluded world, Su Mu can still see the outside world clearly and interact with it.

Therefore, by utilizing this characteristic, he can easily avoid the influence of the Qi formation!

Soon, Su Mu arrived at the Twenty-Four Seasons Valley.

After canceling his seclusion effect, Su Mu sensed something unusual.

After taking a couple of steps, I didn't fall on flat ground and break any teeth.

Then there shouldn't be any problem.

Only then did he have time to pay attention to the magical patterns carved on the cliff faces on both sides.

According to the original text, the carvings on these two cliff faces can make people unconsciously circulate their Qi.

It can even turn ordinary people into superhumans.

However, unlike the cultivation furnace, these markings only teach the circulation of Qi, not the dissipation of Qi.

If the merit is merely accumulated without dispersing, in the end, there will only be one outcome awaiting these lucky individuals—

dead!
