Hao Lianyu spoke, and a spiritual light struck the array.
Buzz~!
The array fluctuated.
"This is the valley’s defensive array. The outermost layer is an alert system. If something strikes the outer layer, those inside can hear the commotion. I believe he’ll come out soon enough."
Hao Lianyu explained.
Zhou Changwang nodded in agreement.
He had some understanding of arrays, and as he observed this array, he could discern its structure and rank.
High-Tier First Grade.
Although it couldn’t withstand very powerful cultivators, it was enough to fend off most mid to low-tier cultivators.
Of course, within the marketplace, this level of defensive array was sufficient.
If someone did attempt to break the array, it would result in a relentless conflict.
One moment, two moments, three moments...
Quite some time passed.
The array’s gate remained unopened.
Hao Lianyu’s expression turned awkward, and with an embarrassed smile, she said, "Ma Tiansheng might be cultivating. Let me call again."
With that, she quickly sent out a few more spiritual lights onto the alert array.
Yet, after a hundred breaths, the array’s gate still remained tightly shut.
Zhou Changwang made no comment, but his eyes flickered as he used the Spirit Eye Technique.
It’s worth mentioning that he had already cultivated his Spirit Eye Technique to the Realm of Perfection.
Under the effect of the Spirit Eye Technique, he could see far and wide, even perceiving things a thousand miles away.
He could also see through many mists and fogs. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Additionally, he washed his eyes daily with Eye-clearing Spiritual Liquid and Spiritual Eye Golden Liquid, granting him powerful vision, capable of perceiving spiritual light.
At this moment, he activated it.
His gaze fell upon this grand array.
In an instant, the misty veil of the array vanished.
And he clearly saw the scene inside the array.
Inside the valley, a slightly plump middle-aged cultivator, appearing around forty or fifty, stood before the array, slightly bent, listening intently to the commotion outside.
His small eyes constantly assessed the situation outside.
Many arrays served the function of defending against external intrusions rather than internal ones.
From outside the array, one couldn’t see inside, but inside the array, the array master could hear and see the situation outside.
At this moment, it was evident that Ma Tiansheng had always been within the valley’s spirit land and heard the array’s alert immediately.
However, he intentionally pretended not to be there, hoping they’d give up and leave.
"Maybe he’s really not there.
Why don’t we go ask Spirit Plant Master Li over there?
It’s said that Ma Tiansheng and Spirit Plant Master Li get along well, so he might be over there."
Hao Lianyu said awkwardly.
She was also somewhat agitated, having notified in advance that she would come to claim the spirit land today, yet now he was nowhere to be found, leaving them waiting.
Upon hearing her suggestion to leave, inside the array, Ma Tiansheng visibly relaxed.
He wasn’t afraid of the newcomer Zhou Changwang.
But he had some concerns regarding Fairy Lianyu.
After all, she always handled the collection of spiritual materials, and she had always managed him openly.
He could only curry favor with her and dared not offend her.
"No need."
Zhou Changwang waved his hand, looking at Hao Lianyu, and said, "There’s something I’d like to ask Fairy Lianyu."
"Please, Fellow Daoist Zhou, speak."
Hao Lianyu quickly asked.
"I just want to confirm.
This spirit land now belongs to me, correct?"
Zhou Changwang smiled slightly and inquired.
"Of course, it does.
Before you left, didn’t you already register it? The documents have already been sent to the marketplace’s Household Registry Hall.
As long as you, Fellow Daoist, don’t explicitly leave Shuiyun Pavilion, or unless Shuiyun Pavilion rescinds the registration at the Household Registry Hall, this small mountain spirit land will belong under your management for the next five years."
Hao Lianyu nodded seriously, explaining.
"So, within my spirit land, no matter what I do, as long as I don’t destroy the land itself, I shouldn’t need to worry about anything, right?
The marketplace guard won’t come out and accuse me of causing damage, will they?"
Zhou Changwang asked again.
"Of course not.
This is Shuiyun Pavilion’s spirit land.
Even if the marketplace guard comes, they must first consult with us at Shuiyun Pavilion.
The Divine Wind Valley Marketplace has rules, unlike Fengming Dock Marketplace, where conflicts could break out within the marketplace."
Hao Lianyu said with pride.
However, listening to Zhou Changwang’s questions, she instinctively felt something odd, and quickly asked, "Why are you asking these questions?"
"Oh, nothing really, just going to reclaim what’s mine."
Zhou Changwang waved his hand, then with a flip of his hand, a small stack of Spirit Talismans appeared.
