Chapter 645: Chapter 645: The Unexpected Treasure
Upon hearing the security guard’s words, Feng Jun and his companions all widened their eyes, “This place has been sold?”
Among them, Elder Guo felt the most incredulous, “This is a scenic area, to whom could it possibly be sold?”
The two security guards had initially shown no expression, but upon hearing this, their faces immediately darkened, “What does it matter to you who it sold to? This area is no longer open to the public, get moving now!”
It was at this moment that Sister Hong spoke up, smiling as she said, “The transfer of ownership of a public scenic area should be publicized. Since this is supposed to be a public facility, if you don’t allow us to use it, then you have the obligation to inform us… why?”
Sister Hong’s demeanor was clearly that of a true powerhouse, not only was she beautiful, but her presence was strong.
The two security guards exchanged glances, feeling that this woman was not someone to mess with, and moreover, her words seemed to make some sense.
One security guard spoke up, “This place has indeed been sold, as part of the city’s development needs.”
“That’s highly unlikely,” Sister Hong shook her head, “The city’s parks and green spaces involve the entire city’s environmental protection and ecological environment and are key protected areas in development and planning.”
The other security guard grew impatient, “Why are you making such a fuss? If it’s sold, it’s sold, go find out for yourself.”
Guo Haiyun then said, “Then would you mind telling me, is it this pavilion that’s been sold, or the entire mountain?”
Of the group of five, he was the one dressed most casually, with a martial arts outfit underneath and an army coat wrapped around him. Even with the coat wrapped tightly, one could still see the lantern pants on his legs and kung fu shoes on his feet.
The security guard glanced at him and answered crisply, “Everything’s been sold, now go down the mountain.”
Climbing this small hill actually had steps, which the two security guards had ascended.
However, the place Feng Jun and his group had just come from had no steps, it was a natural hillside, and everyone’s shoes even had some mud on them.
The two guards didn’t pay attention to that; they were drawn to the hill by the white fog that had caught their attention.
They had been on duty here for a while and had never seen such a phenomenon before, especially since the white fog, though thick, did not spread widely and had not dissipated for a long time.
Of course, this could have been just a random occurrence, and the two of them didn’t pay it too much mind, beyond taking a photo to share on social media.
Nevertheless, they still had to observe the situation.
After watching for a while, they noticed Feng Jun’s group of five, assuming they too had come to enjoy the view, and didn’t pry further.
But since the five people stayed there without leaving, the guards approached to inform them: this place is now our company’s property, please don’t linger for too long.
This wasn’t them looking to provoke anything; it was simply part of their duties as security guards.
Elder Guo spoke up again, “Young fellows, may I ask what kind of company yours is? A tourism company, or a real estate development company… What is the plan for this mountain after it’s sold, tourism or real estate?”
Elder Guo didn’t have the otherworldly demeanor of Tang Wangsun, but as an elder of Wudang, he still had a remarkable presence.
One security guard hesitated for a moment, but still revealed their employer’s name, “We’re from Green House Company.”
Just by hearing the name, one could almost determine it was a real estate company. Elder Guo didn’t pursue the matter further but instead asked amicably, “Since it’s going to be developed soon, and the scenery won’t be around for much longer, we’re from out of town, could we possibly walk around on the mountain a bit more?”
The two security guards looked at each other, the older one speaking, “Walking around a bit more is fine. We just wanted to let you know, this is no longer a public scenic area… By the way, did you see the white fog earlier?”
Elder Guo nodded and spoke indifferently, “The white fog was beautiful, but unfortunately, it didn’t last long enough for us to take pictures.”
It was only a short time? The two security guards exchanged glances and surprisingly accepted this psychological suggestion quite easily.
To avoid drawing the attention of the security guards, Feng Jun and his companions also strolled around other areas. They didn’t descend the mountain until close to eleven o’clock.
At lunchtime, they chose a seafood restaurant to dine in. Inside a private room, Wang Haifeng spoke very directly, “I think, you should just move the secret treasure away, that place is obviously going to be turned into a luxury residential area… There’s no chance you can cultivate there.”
Guo Haiyun was slightly defiant, “Both Maoshan and Luohua Manor are also on the edges of a city… Can’t one also cultivate there?”
Wang Haifeng gave him a disdainful look, “Weiyu Mountain is in the middle of the city, how is that on the edge?”
“Alright, let’s not argue,” Feng Jun rarely spoke up, glancing at Elder Guo, “Then shall we rest now, and start the operation at precisely midnight?”
Elder Guo hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Master Feng, do you know how much is inside the secret treasure?”
“How would I know that?” Feng Jun shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing the doubtful look in the other’s eyes, he decided to speak frankly, “This token ensures you can enter and leave at any time. If you can’t move everything in one night, you can take two… You can go now if you think it’s suitable.”
Where could Elder Guo possibly be going now? Although that area rarely has people, the occasional appearance of one or two security guards could lead to a huge dispute.
Regardless, the place they now want to excavate for hidden treasures has already been occupied by a real estate company.
After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel to rest, but at a time like this, who could sleep?
It was only two o’clock in the afternoon, ten hours away from midnight, so both groups simply contacted their own friends to prepare for the night’s work.
On Luohua Manor’s side, Sister Hong and Xu Leigang who was far away in Zhengyang helped with the inquiries. The connections of the Xu Family in the military did indeed play a role, as they quickly gathered some related news.
On Elder Guo’s side, they relied on the networks of the Wudang. It turns out there were advantages to belonging to a large sect, as the Guo Family had long been catering to visitors from Weiyu Cave Heaven, resulting in quite the accumulation of connections.
Prior to this, in order to keep the secret of Weiyu Cave Heaven, the Guo father and son maintained only very ordinary contacts with many of the local practitioners.
When it was crucial, it was convenient for them to gather information. For instance, Guo Haiyun contacted two friends who he got along with quite well, saying he wanted to buy a house here, possibly to live in for a month or two each year after his father retired.
Thus, they easily learned that the Green House Real Estate Company had quite a reputation in Zhejiang, and it was even more noteworthy that the company had deep roots here and could easily get its hands on any plot of land it wanted to develop.
As for the mountain where the secret treasure was located, whether it had been bought by the company or not, there were rumors. But there were also rumors suggesting that it might be preserved as a park.
Whether the Green House Company had paid the land transfer fees and completed all the procedures, not many people knew. But generally, people tended to believe that the company wanted to develop this land and had not yet completed all the formalities.
However, there were also those who said that many developments have started without complete procedures, and Green House Company’s reluctance to handle the relevant procedures might be because they wanted to hoard the land, waiting for land and housing prices to rise.
In short, whether it was Luohua Manor’s side or the Guo father and son’s side, the information they found out was more or less the same: Green House Company was definitely not easy to deal with.
Therefore, they needed to act fast with the Weiyu’s Secret Treasure; otherwise, once the other party discovered it, they would certainly not recognize any ancient Daoist heritage.
Elder Guo also lamented about this, “I thought those with objections would be from the Daoist sects – who could have imagined that the biggest threat would actually come from the mortal world?”
At eleven-thirty that night, the five of them arrived at the stone where the secret treasure was located.
To avoid detection, though they brought flashlights, they covered them with blue cloth while walking on the mountain trails, so that the light wouldn’t shine too far.
When they reached the stone and saw no one around, Elder Guo and his son inserted the Banana fan-like token directly into the Yin Yang Fish once more.
The next moment, everyone felt a flash before their eyes and a tremble in their bodies, as bright light burst forth, as if it was broad daylight.
When they adjusted to the light ahead, they exclaimed in amazement, “This is really… a Cave Heaven of its own.”
What they saw was not so much a Cave Heaven but rather more akin to… a giant greenhouse.

The light was shining brightly above them, the ground beneath their feet was soil, and in front of them were all kinds of vibrant plants, covering an area of perhaps twenty or thirty acres.
Guo Haiyun was the first to react, “Is this… a Spirit Field?”
It was indeed a Spirit Field, and there was even a hint of Spiritual Energy in the air, although it was only as dense as the outer layer of the Maoshan Spirit Gathering Array. But for Martial Cultivators, it was still a coveted sanctum for cultivation.
Elder Guo, who was more attentive, looked at Feng Jun, “Master Feng, did you… already know about this?”
“The patterns on that token are part of the Lingzhi Formation,” Feng Jun answered casually, “But this Lingzhi Formation, along with the outer Formations, are integrated; the light and Spiritual Energy here are all absorbed from the outside.”
Guo Haiyun was taken aback and immediately asked, “Can this Formation… be repaired?”
Before finding the secret treasure, he couldn’t wait to plough every inch of Weiyu Mountain to break the legendary Formation. But now, he sincerely hoped the Formation could be maintained.
Unfortunately, Feng Jun had said during the day that he had destroyed the Formation here.
Guo Haiyun dared not complain and could only hope Feng’s Formation skills were higher than he had imagined.
Feng Jun looked at him and did not speak.
It was Wang Haifeng who asked pointedly, “Elder Guo, our task should be to help you find the secret treasure, right?”
It was then that Zhang Weihong finally snapped out of her daze, speaking in a serious tone, “Let’s not talk about restoring it for now – do you think… this place can still be preserved?”
Elder Guo also came to his senses, “It would be wonderful if this place could be used for cultivation… There should be a Spirit Stone powering this, right? I wonder where the Spirit Stone is?”
