Chapter 13

Just as Su Jiu finished speaking, the middle-aged man took action.

Before the middle-aged man had even completed the Seven Star Steps, there was a loud "bang!" It was as if he had been hit by a tremendous force, and he flew up into the air, landing heavily on the ground.

Su Jiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with wide eyes. He hadn't expected the man to be so obedient and try it out.

One must understand how intense the aura of the Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation is. For someone at the Qi Cultivation stage, using the Seven Star Steps to probe it is like resisting the entire aura of the Feng Shui formation.

Not to mention someone at the middle Qi Cultivation stage, even someone at the late Qi Cultivation stage would end up the same way.

"Ahem!" Su Jiu coughed awkwardly, took a step forward, and continued.

"Now you know the consequences! The aura of the Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation cannot be used to break the formation with one's own body as a medium. This is impossible. If you do so, the consequences will be unimaginable. Not only for yourself, but the entire Xiang University will fall into chaos. You must understand how severe the negative energy of this Feng Shui formation is." Su Jiu spoke with a serious expression.

Hearing Su Jiu's words, the middle-aged man stood up and fell into deep thought, remaining silent as if considering something.

The situation was clear. The middle-aged man appeared calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.

"This young man, who is no more than twenty years old, has already reached the initial Qi Cultivation stage. To achieve such a level at such a young age is not the most terrifying thing. What is truly terrifying is that this young man, at such a young age, has such profound knowledge."

"I observed this Feng Shui formation for nearly a month before daring to attempt to break it. But I didn't expect to have misjudged it. If it weren't for this young man's intervention, the consequences would have been unimaginable. My decades of experience are no match for this young man. I wonder which family's descendant he is, to be so impressive."

Many thoughts flashed through the middle-aged man's mind.

After a moment of consideration, he spoke, "Thank you, young friend, for your help. My surname is Ye, and my name is Ye Tianlong. I am a descendant of the Ye family. From your confident demeanor, I assume you have a way to break this Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation, right?"

"That's correct. I came here tonight to resolve this matter. However, when I noticed someone coming up, I hid in the large classroom. You know the rest, so there's no need to repeat it." Su Jiu said calmly.

Su Jiu didn't realize that the middle-aged man in front of him was the famous Ye Tianlong in the Feng Shui world. If anyone else from the Feng Shui world were here, they would be shocked. The renowned Master Ye is a well-known figure in the Feng Shui world. For ordinary people to ask Master Ye to examine Feng Shui, they would need to make an appointment months in advance, and there's no guarantee they would get one.

It all depends on Master Ye's mood. If others saw Ye Tianlong speaking so respectfully to a young man, they would be so surprised their jaws would drop.

If others saw Su Jiu speaking to Master Ye like this, they would surely scold the young man for being disrespectful and arrogant in front of Master Ye.

However, the reality was quite the opposite. Hearing Su Jiu's words, Ye Tianlong didn't show any signs of anger. His pupils only slightly contracted as he sensed the confidence in the young man's words, as if the Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation was a trivial matter.

It was a strange feeling. The young man in front of him was indeed a genius, having reached the initial Qi Cultivation stage at such a young age.

However, although the young man's cultivation was lower than his own, he gave off a dangerous and unique aura.

"May I ask, young friend, how do you plan to break this Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation?" Ye Tianlong didn't show any surprise. After Su Jiu finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then asked.

Hearing Ye Tianlong's words, Su Jiu didn't answer immediately.

He walked a few steps forward, approached the desk, and took out his backpack, beginning to take out his items one by one.

Rootless water, incense burner, paper money, high incense, Bagua mirror, and so on... He also moved the items Ye Tianlong had prepared to the side.

After arranging everything, Su Jiu straightened his sleeves, checked the time, and saw that it was already past one o'clock. According to the theory, the best time to break the Hidden Ridge Formation had passed, but Su Jiu didn't pay much attention to that.

After lighting the high incense, Su Jiu stood in the center of the desk, facing the corridor.

This was the seventh floor, and the cool night breeze blew in, carrying the black mist that enveloped the entire second teaching building, giving Su Jiu a mysterious aura.

After taking a deep breath, Su Jiu placed his left index and middle fingers together, holding them horizontally in front of his chest.

With just this gesture, Ye Tianlong, standing to the side, immediately became serious, sensing a powerful aura emanating from the young man.

Su Jiu closed his eyes and quietly sensed the airflow from all directions. At some point, he had already taken out a talisman from his pocket. It was the "Ridge-Inducing Talisman."

Su Jiu held the Ridge-Inducing Talisman between his right thumb and index finger, placing it in front of his chest.

Suddenly, Su Jiu moved his feet, stepping left and right, completing a series of steps in an instant.

In just a moment, Su Jiu finished the steps, paused, and then slowly raised the Ridge-Inducing Talisman in his right hand, lifting it above his head. At that instant, the gentle breeze suddenly turned violent, and the talisman fluttered in the wind.

Su Jiu held this pose motionless for several minutes. When the clouds in the sky slowly dispersed and the moonlight shone on the seventh-floor corridor of the second teaching building, Su Jiu suddenly shouted.

"The power of incense is to repay the heavens, to respect the earth and the land. It must stand three zhang and three chi high, reaching the thirty-three heavens above and the eighteen hells below."

"Whoosh!" As Su Jiu finished speaking, the smoke from the three high incense sticks in the incense burner on the desk rose straight up under the moonlight. It was worth noting that the wind on the seventh floor was very strong, yet the smoke remained straight.

Ye Tianlong clearly sensed that the young man in front of him had not released any aura. The smoke changed its behavior immediately after the young man spoke.

"Light the Eight Trigrams!" Su Jiu shouted again. The Bagua mirror on the desk began to tremble and slowly rose, emitting a beam of light that reflected directly onto the ceiling of the seventh-floor corridor.

"Without true qi at the base, the mountains ahead are piled high. With little dragon qi at the base, the front sand is buried with a coffin." Su Jiu leaped over the incense burner on the desk, sitting cross-legged on the railing of the seventh-floor corridor, facing forward, with his back to the incense burner. His left index and middle fingers traced the Ridge-Inducing Talisman held in his right hand.

Yellow light immediately appeared in Su Jiu's hand, and the Ridge-Inducing Talisman emitted a blinding glow. The light flashed and then disappeared, leaving a large "Dao" character faintly visible in front of Su Jiu.

"Dao stabilizes the earth, qi flows through the veins, induce!"

Su Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly. After speaking, the Ridge-Inducing Talisman in his right hand turned into a series of yellow sparks and then burst into flames.

Su Jiu released his fingers, and the entire Ridge-Inducing Talisman burned completely, without a trace of smoke.

Su Jiu leaped down from the corridor railing.

Ye Tianlong, standing to the side, was stunned, his mind in turmoil.

"Talisman, this is a talisman. The young man in front of me actually knows how to use talismans. Judging by the style, it's at least a third-grade talisman, and it's an ancient tradition. Who is this young man, to know such an ancient talisman as the Ridge-Inducing Talisman?"

Ye Tianlong was so astonished that he was speechless, staring at Su Jiu in shock.

Su Jiu took a few steps and straightened his sleeves.

"The Ridge-Inducing Talisman has been activated, and the Feng Shui aura has been stirred. If nothing goes wrong, this Feng Shui Hidden Ridge Formation should be resolved."

Su Jiu muttered to himself, standing there with his eyes closed, sensing the entire aura of the second teaching building.

Ye Tianlong, after a moment of shock, also closed his eyes and began to sense the aura.

The seventh floor of the second teaching building suddenly became eerie. The originally steady wind began to rage wildly. The moonlit second teaching building gradually became enveloped in layers of black clouds, which slowly formed a circle around the building.

PS: I'm currently getting used to my typing speed. I haven't written for a long time, so I'm slowly getting back into the rhythm of writing three thousand words per chapter. I hope everyone can give me a bit more time!
