Under the shade of a large verdant bamboo forest, a bluestone-paved path winds forward, and as the supreme authority of the Hu family, Hu Zunli's residence is quite exquisite. （ . . This is the place where the aura is strongest in the valley, and there are no other residents nearby, and this guy has a large spiritual land to himself, which also highlights his supremacy in the clan.

Walking through the secluded bamboo forest, the green bricks and green tiles are faintly visible in the distance, and at the end of the path, there is a tall and gorgeous gatehouse in front of you, and there are several monks on duty next to the door. Don't look at the Hu family is not a famous family, but there is no shortage of style, no matter how you say it, it is also a family with a long heritage, and it has some heritage and arrogance.

However, these are all tricks for the Hu family to entertain themselves, just to decorate the façade, there are at least ten ways for the dialect to blend in, and the monks who are in charge of guarding this place only have the Qi refining period, and an invisibility talisman is enough. Fang Yan entered it silently, and several guards at the door did not react at all, and there was one thing they probably didn't know yet, the head of the house they had worked so hard to guard would never come back.

After entering the door, there is a spacious courtyard, the ground is paved with neat bluestone, the courtyard wall is planted with tall spiritual trees, and the front and back of the house are planted with various shrubs and flowers, which are obviously carefully trimmed. In the middle of the courtyard is a two-story house, which seems to be the place where Hu Zunli manages clan affairs and meets guests on a daily basis.

This is a grassy garden, surrounded by some stone tables and stone chairs, and a fish pond rockery in the middle, which is very neatly repaired everywhere. As the head of the family, Hu Zunli's mansion is naturally more than that, this place is just a temporary place for him to handle clan affairs, through a small door in the courtyard, and then inside is his residence.

This is the inner courtyard, where Hu Zunli and his family live, and at a glance the courtyard is lined with green trees, and the pavilions with carved beams and paintings are in full view. A family of this scale is naturally not comparable to any family in the southern city of Yannan that was born in a dialect, like this family that has been inherited for thousands of years. There may be more to it than meets the eye.

Fang Yan hid his body and quietly probed his divine sense, and he didn't dare to release all his divine sense at once, but spread it little by little, slowly probing around. Soon, the huge courtyard was covered by his divine sense, and no one expected that someone would break into the inner house of the head of the family, and there was not even a single formation in the entire courtyard.

This makes it easy for the dialects to see everything that is going on. Most of the people living in the courtyard are female dependents, and they are supposed to be Hu Zunli's wives and concubines and maids. Only a few pavilions were inhabited by a few young monks, presumably the sons and grandchildren of this house. Fang Yan was not too ruthless, and he did not come here to raid the house, and when he saw that there were no monks of the same rank here, he quietly came to the largest building in the courtyard.

Presumably this is Hu Zunli's daily living place, at this time the night has shrouded everywhere, Fang Yan cleverly approached a window, probed for a while with his divine sense, gently pushed it open and jumped in. There is not a single figure in the whole building. It may be that he closed it after he went out, and how dare others live in the building without permission.

There was nothing special on the first floor, and after a little inspection, Fang Yan walked upstairs, and when he came upstairs, he immediately sensed the forbidden aura in front of him. Fang Yan hurriedly stopped, and the formation was immediately opened here, which was an important place. Or Hu Zunli's place of cultivation, outsiders are not allowed to enter easily.

There are a lot of people living in the courtyard, and it is impossible for the dialect to make too much movement, and it is absolutely impossible to forcibly break the formation. Just as he was hesitating, Fang Yan suddenly remembered the Purple Pupil Beast. In the past, when he went out to find fate and encountered prohibitions, this little beast surprised him several times, and he didn't know what would happen this time.

There was a soft "click", and the purple-pupiled beast's front paws were gently swiped, and the problem of dialects was solved. This little beast was really miraculous, and there was almost no movement, and it cut a hole in the prohibition. The dialect hurried in, and then the gap gradually closed silently.

There were several rooms on the second floor, all of which were wide open, and only one was closed. After sweeping through the dialect divine sense, he roughly searched the rooms with the doors open, nothing more than places such as the practice room and the living room, all of which were places for Hu Zunli to rest and practice, and there seemed to be nothing decent in the room, except that the furniture inside was more expensive.

These dialects were dismissive, and they just walked around the practice room, and they didn't find anything useful. Pushing the closed door open, Fang Yan slowly walked into it, which was obviously a study, with tables, chairs, and bookcases neatly arranged, and a bed in the room, on which were thrown a few books and jade slips.

The dialect took them over and looked at them at will, most of them were the Hu family's trivialities, and after a few glances, they were put back in place. The same is true in other places, there are a lot of books, but they are all useless miscellaneous books, and I haven't found anything useful along the way, not even a single spirit stone.

How could he clean up so thoroughly, speaking of which, this person is the head of this family, how can he live without even a little valuable, which really does not match his identity. Thinking of the day he chased and killed himself, if he was interested in making money at that time, this guy should have done a lot of such a capitalless business before, and it was impossible to put all the property he got on his body, and he didn't store it at all.

The whole residence was also too clean, how could it not make Fang Yan wonder, could there be a secret room or something like that in the building, or that this person also had a place to hide treasures. The head of the family, in addition to holding the authority for a moment and not wanting to relax, has always had strict control over resources and treasures, which are the fundamentals of controlling a family.

"Could it be that there is anything missing along the way?" Fang Yan immediately shook his head again, there was only a pavilion on the left and right, just a few rooms, with the degree of detail of his divine sense, what spiritual object could escape his detection. Besides, he still has the Purple Pupil Beast on his shoulder, and it is difficult for any good thing to escape its perception.

"Hey, what is this?" Fang Yan rummaged through the bookcase and suddenly saw a wooden box in it, sandwiched between a stack of books, as if it was placed here randomly. Fang Yan took it out, opened it lightly, and saw that it was a white jade plaque, which looked very old, like a array of cards.

The front of the jade plaque depicts the shape of a white tiger, but the back is engraved with the character "Hu" in a seal font, which is made of precious nephrite. Fang Yan took it in his hand and looked at it again and again, unable to figure out whether this was a token of the Hu family or the array card of this pavilion, and whether it was necessary for him to take it away.

After thinking about it, he put it in the storage bag, checked it everywhere again, and quietly left the building. Taking advantage of the night, Fang Yan wandered around the courtyard again, and he always felt that there was something missing here, and it would not be a vain to leave here.

Suddenly, he noticed that something was not quite right in this courtyard, and there was a small gate in one corner of the courtyard, where two monks were on duty. When he came from the front yard, there was no one to guard it, and there was a special guard here, how could there be such a reason, if it was outside Hu Zunli's residence, it would not make him suspicious.

Fang Yan quietly approached the small door, only to hear the two of them talking in a whisper, but it was a short time for some of the clan's parents, but what made Fang Yan interested was the burst of forbidden aura coming from inside the door, and the formation was also opened here. Perhaps this was the place he was looking for, Fang Yan squinted at the two monks not far away, and then unfolded his sense to scrutinize the surrounding area.

It couldn't have been easier to deal with the two Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and after a few moments, Fang Yan silently brought them down, and then he ordered the Shadow to hide in the shadows and stand on guard, and then stepped through the small door. Inside is a small courtyard, sparse grass and trees grow everywhere, and through the courtyard there is another courtyard gate, and there is obviously a forbidden power from the door.

It is too unreasonable for a seemingly inconspicuous place to be built in the residence of the head of the family and still be heavily protected. Fang Yan casually summoned the Purple Pupil Beast, and prepared to repeat the old trick, who knew that the Purple Pupil Beast was bounced back with a "bang", this formation was actually more powerful than Hu Zunli's residence, and even the Purple Pupil Beast could not be broken.

After all, this little beast's cultivation level is too low, and Fang Yan feels that it has more ways to suppress natural formations, but an artificially arranged magic circle like this is not satisfactory, and there is nothing to be done when it encounters a powerful magic circle. Fang Yan was not in a hurry, and then took out the jade plaque, perhaps this is its real purpose, and slightly urged the jade plaque against the forbidden dialect.

A white light flashed, the courtyard door opened silently, and Fang Yan hurriedly activated his divine sense to see if this slight movement had alarmed others. Fortunately, no one noticed, and Fang Yan stepped into the door, only to see that this was also a small courtyard, smaller than the courtyard outside, at best only half an acre in size.

However, there are many prohibitions in this small courtyard, and as soon as the dialect enters, it senses that there are traces of prohibition in at least three places. What kind of place is this, why is it arranged like this, without waiting for the dialect to take a closer look, the purple-pupiled beast on his shoulder swooped up, grabbed a prohibition violently, and tore open a hole with a "bang".

As if he was a little annoyed by the previous prohibition outside the door, the purple-pupiled beast raised his hand and grabbed several other prohibitions, but they were all broken by it one after another, which made Fang Yan couldn't help but be amazed. The middle of the small courtyard was the first to be broken open by it, and suddenly a rich aura erupted, and Fang Yan hurriedly probed his divine sense, but among them were three bamboos several feet long.

"Purple Spirit Bamboo!" Fang Yan was immediately overjoyed, no wonder Hu Zunli was able to cultivate the Eye Clearing Technique, it turned out that there was such a spiritual thing to help. The Purple Spirit Bamboo is listed as one of the four major Spirit Bamboos in the cultivation realm, because this bamboo can generate a kind of spiritual liquid, which is not a bamboo liquid like ordinary spirit bamboo, but as red as blood, and is called Purple Spirit Dew.

Long-term use of this substance helps the monk to calm down and dispel impurities, which can not only keep the monk's mood at peace, but also help the monk eliminate the impurities left in the body due to the use of pills and other substances. If it is more useful for low-level monks, taking a drop of purple spirit dew is far better than swallowing the Purifying Pill.

In addition to being taken by monks, the purple spirit dew can also refine the eyes, which is the auxiliary cultivation method introduced in the eye clearing technique, which can make the monk's eyesight increase extremely quickly, without the help of such spiritual objects, the monk alone cannot cultivate at all.

His guess was indeed not wrong, the Hu family's thousands of years of accumulation really couldn't be underestimated, and there were actually three purple spirit bamboos hidden, and they were personally taken care of by the head of the family.
