Chapter 321: Chapter 285 [Break the Formation, Treasure]

The next day at noon, a plane flying from Dong Hai landed safely and steadily at Yanjing International Airport, gliding along the concrete runway toward the gate assigned for it in advance.

Not far from the gate, an airport shuttle bus was parked, and a young driver was staring motionlessly at the Ferrari behind him through the rearview mirror.

To be precise, he was staring at the woman beside the Ferrari.

The woman reflected in his eyes was wearing a fiery red cloak, red leather pants on her lower body, and a pair of red boots on her feet, complementing the red Ferrari sports car beside her.

She was a woman with a unique passion for red.

Even her wavy long hair was dyed wine red, and her lips were so enticingly red that one could hardly resist the urge to bite them.

As an airport shuttle bus driver, he had seen many beautiful women, but none left an impression on him quite like the seductive woman behind him.

In his eyes, the woman behind him was like a demon sent from heaven to mesmerize all living beings.

"Handsome... handsome guy..."

Just as the young driver was about to be captivated by the woman, she suddenly gave him a charming smile and spoke in a coquettishly sweet voice that made his bones feel like jelly, causing him to swallow his saliva several times, quite shamelessly.

Perhaps out of embarrassment for being caught staring, the young driver quickly shifted his gaze away. His heart was uncontrollably thumping, his mind awash with images of the woman’s sultry body and alluring smile.

"Hmm~"

Later on, as the young driver saw the passenger plane nearing the gate, he took a deep breath to dispel the images in his mind and simultaneously opened the shuttle bus door, waiting for passengers to board.

Meanwhile, the enchanting Chu Ji stopped teasing the young driver and, like him, turned her attention to the passenger aircraft approaching the gate.

Soon, under Chu Ji and the young driver’s watchful eyes, the passenger plane came to a halt. Moments later, the cabin door opened and, with the air stewardesses’ smiling goodbye, passengers began to disembark in an orderly fashion.

Whoosh!

Every time passengers exited the cabin, they couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards Chu Ji, as if she were a magnet with a powerful force of attraction.

Especially for men!

The first sight of Chu Ji made every man’s pupils inadvertently dilate, their eyes sparkling with a mixture of amazement, admiration, and desire.

Upon seeing Chu Ji, women felt a sense of inadequacy, with some even pinching their partners fiercely, their faces showing clear anger.

Observing this scene, Chu Ji’s face broke into a mischievous smile. Then, when she spotted Ye Fan emerging from the crowd, she quickly waved and called out, "Xiao Fan, over here, here!"

"——"

Ye Fan had seen Chu Ji’s fiery figure inside the cabin and witnessed the sensation she caused. Now, seeing her wave at him like an excited little girl, making others look around, he felt somewhat speechless.

However—

What made Ye Fan even more speechless was that Chu Ji, ignoring everyone’s stares, strutted over with her chest thrust out and hips swaying in a seductive manner, advancing toward him.

"Didn’t you say I should go there by myself?"

Ye Fan had just disembarked and saw all the people around looking at him and Chu Ji, asking with a wry smile.

No answer.

Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Ji hooked her arm around Ye Fan’s, declaring, "I’ve been waiting for you for so long, come home with sister and see how I’ll deal with you!"

"Eh..."

As soon as Chu Ji uttered those words, the surrounding men looked at Ye Fan with envy, jealousy, and resentment as if to say: Damn it, how come a beautiful flower like her ended up with cow dung?

Driven by jealousy, the women internally scoffed at them: Shameless!

Ignoring everyone’s gazes, Chu Ji clung to Ye Fan like a bird nestling up to a person, only releasing him when they reached the Ferrari.

"Senior sister, what are you trying to do?" Ye Fan wanted to cry without tears, knowing that Chu Ji usually insisted on being addressed as Aunt, but today she was calling herself sister in front of everyone.

Chu Ji stood tall, displaying her proud curves: "Isn’t your aunt just trying to avoid harassment?"

"So you use me as a shield?" Ye Fan felt his mouth twitch.

"What? Do you feel embarrassed having your aunt with you?" Chu Ji shot him an angry glare.

"Which aunt gets this intimate with her nephew?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes.

"Smack—"

Annoyed, Chu Ji gave Ye Fan a slap on the back of his head and commanded, "Get in the car!"

Ye Fan climbed into the passenger’s seat speechlessly.

"Vroom~"

Accompanied by a roaring sound, the fiery Ferrari sped off, gradually disappearing from the onlookers’ sight.

Forty minutes later, Chu Ji drove into a rare hutong in Yanjing City and parked in front of a courtyard where Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was rich.

"Eh, Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array?"

Noticing the unusually dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above the courtyard, Ye Fan was slightly startled.

"You’re allowed to set up arrays and cultivate in Ao Xiang Villa, but your aunt can’t use the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array for cultivation?" Chu Ji replied discontentedly.

"Has the old man been here?" Ye Fan pondered. Although Chu Ji was powerful, she was only a martial artist and wouldn’t be capable of setting up the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array.

"Mhm." Chu Ji nodded and said, "Before the master went on his travels, he came here and casually set up this formation."

"Hmm, no news from the old man?"

Thinking of Chu Xuanji, Ye Fan felt a bit nostalgic. Although he had experienced the mortal world for two years before, each time it was for completing missions, and he never stayed as long in the mundane world as this time.

"No." Chu Ji shook her head and then, thinking of Chu Xuanji’s reason for descending to the world this time, a bitter smile spread on her lips.

"I was saying that I would go back and see him after the auction is over." Ye Fan sighed softly, "He must be quite lonely by himself."

"Lonely my big-headed ghost."

Chu Ji adjusted her mood, cursed with a laugh, and then said, "Come on, let’s see what your aunt has prepared for you."

"Alright."

Ye Fan smiled and followed Chu Ji into the courtyard.

Hm?

Entering the Courtyard, Ye Fan immediately found himself drawn to the northeast corner, where what appeared to be brightly colored flowers were actually a house disguised by an illusion spell.

"That illusion must be the old man’s handiwork too, right?" Ye Fan reflected as he looked towards the northeast, his mind as clear as a mirror.

"Yes, that’s the storage room. I stored the things I prepared for you there. To avoid it being stolen when I’m not around, Master used magic to create an illusion," Chu Ji nodded.

"Oh?" Ye Fan, intrigued, exclaimed, "Let me check it out."

"Don’t..." Chu Ji’s face changed, trying to stop him.

However—

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Fan leaped forward, stepping right into the Illusion Realm!

"Uh..."

Chu Ji was dumbfounded by this sight!

After Chu Xuanji had set up the illusion, he told her that unless it was a magician at the Innate Great Perfection Realm, it would be impossible to break the illusion; at best, one would get lost within it, and at worst, lose their consciousness, or even have their soul dispersed!

"Sss~"

After the shock passed, Chu Ji gasped coldly, then without hesitation, rushed to the front of the illusion, quickly jumping in a peculiar pattern as Chu Xuanji had taught her to break the formation.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan felt as though he had entered a labyrinth, surrounded by white fog with corridors in all directions, unable to distinguish north from south, east from west.

Observing this, Ye Fan focused his consciousness and carefully sensed everything around him, attempting to locate the Array Eye through the fluctuations of Primordial Qi.

As a magician, he knew very well that if he did not find the Array Eye, he would be trapped in this Illusion Realm forever, until his consciousness was lost, leading to his mind’s destruction.

"The old man truly is a Supreme Strongman with Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts at the Gang Qi Realm. His formation is so exquisite that I can’t even sense the fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."

With careful sensing, Ye Fan noticed he couldn’t detect any fluctuations of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and couldn’t help but marvel. Then, after a moment of thought, his hand flipped, revealing a black Ghostly Gourd floating in front of him.

"Wuu wuu... wuu wuu..."

As soon as the Ghostly Gourd appeared, a gust of cold wind blew up, and the Evil Yin Qi within it surged out like floodwaters, enveloping the Illusion Realm.

As the Evil Yin Qi emerged, the amount of Evil Yin Qi within the illusion increased sharply, and fluctuations in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi appeared, with significant pulsations at five locations.

"Rise!"

Ye Fan moved his consciousness and bellowed!

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

Five sounds of tearing through the air rang out nearly simultaneously, and five yellow flags, which served as the Array Eyes, shot up into the sky and fell into Ye Fan’s hands.

Did he break the formation?

Chu Ji, who was fervently trying to break the formation, suddenly found the scene in front of her change dramatically. The flowery scenery vanished, and what appeared was a house functioning as a storage room, with Ye Fan holding five yellow flags, standing in front of the house, a black gourd floating before him.

How did he break it?

Was it with the help of that Ghostly Gourd?

Chu Ji stood dumbstruck, silently asking herself.

"Recollect!"

As if answering Chu Ji, Ye Fan gestured a ’recollect’ handprint, and the diffused Evil Yin Qi, as if summoned, was rapidly absorbed back into the Ghostly Gourd, leaving the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi tranquil again.

"You think you’re capable now?"

Seeing this scene and confirming her guess, Chu Ji immediately rushed to Ye Fan, reached out with her delicate hand, grabbed his ear, and admonished him.

"It’s just curiosity," Ye Fan tried to break free.

"Curiosity killed the cat, you know that?" Instead of letting go, Chu Ji increased her grip.

"Got it, I won’t dare to do it again."

Seeing that Chu Ji wasn’t letting go, Ye Fan had to beg for mercy. He knew all too well that his elder sister—or rather, his aunt—had not spared him from bullying since they were young, and she had always enjoyed it.

In Chu Ji’s words: Elders disciplining the youth is a natural right, strong people bullying the weak is the law of the jungle!

"Learn your lesson."

Chu Ji knocked on Ye Fan’s head irritably, then waved her left hand to grab the Ghostly Gourd. She began to examine it closely.

"That is a Magic Artifact for magicians; you can’t make heads or tails of it," Ye Fan teased on purpose.

"Take your broken trinket back!"

Chu Ji, knowing that Magic Artifacts are used by magicians and Martial Artists and that the former is only for magicians, angrily threw the Ghostly Gourd back at Ye Fan. She then thought of something else and said, "By the way, I heard that there might be Magic Artifacts for Martial Artists at the auction."

"Really?"

Ye Fan was intrigued; Magic Artifacts were incredibly rare, yet he hadn’t expected them to appear at this auction.

"Yes. Not only is this auction the biggest of the year, but it’s also happening before the Qing bang Competition. Surely many old fellows will buy treasures to enhance their disciples’ strengths, so that their disciples can make them proud in the competition," Chu Ji nodded.

"And those cultivators with treasures will take this opportunity to make a fortune," she added.

"I hope there will be more Magic Artifacts."

Ye Fan’s eyes brightened. For him, obtaining a Magic Artifact for Martial Artists, even if it wasn’t suitable for him, would be like the Taiyin Xuan Sword; he could absorb its essence to improve his strength.

"It’s useless even if you come across them. Good treasures aren’t traded with money but are exchanged for equally valuable treasures," Chu Ji said with a wry smile.

"That’s true."

As Chu Xuanji’s disciple, Ye Fan was naturally aware of this; all the valuable Magic Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, and martial arts skills were not traded with money and were deemed priceless; some rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were no exception.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s take a look at what I’ve prepared for you; there are two treasures," Chu Ji said as she took out an electronic key and opened the alloy-constructed house door.

Treasures?

Ye Fan was moved and quickly activated the Ghostly Gourd to sense them!
