Mo Canglan was astonished, “You bought so many jars of wine?”
“Hmm.”
Lin Qingluo explained with a smile, “The Spirit Flowers in The Orb are blooming quickly, it would be a waste not to make them into wine.”
“Master is getting ready for a big party.”
Shitou teased with a laugh, “Opening a famous winery in the Spirit Realm, earning fame all over the world.”
“Enough, stop talking nonsense; go put the wine jars away.”
Lin Qingluo chuckled and handed him a Storage Bracelet. She furrowed her brows and thought for a moment before softly telling him, “After putting them away, inform Brother Meng and the others, as well as Ye Han and Moyun. We'll gather at Fluttering Snow Residence tonight, where I'll teach you how to set up the formations.”
“Alright, I'll go right away.”
Shitou took the Storage Bracelet and dashed away like the wind.
“Master.”
Mo Canglan was interested, “I also want to learn how to set up formations.”
“Alright.”
Lin Qingluo readily agreed, “If Brother Lan wants to learn, just come along.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Mo Canglan's eyes sparkled with joy.

At dusk, they arrived at the Fluttering Snow Residence.
Lin Jinxu, Lin Jinpeng, Lin Jinyang, the three brothers, their five disciples, together with Li Moyun and Wang Yehan, all arrived.
Lin Qingluo pointed at the Formation Disk placed on the table, her beautiful face serious, “Starting from today, I'll teach you all how to set up Defensive Arrays. Make sure to listen carefully and grasp the techniques as quickly as possible. Strive to complete the Defensive Array around Capital City with me within four months.”
“Alright.”
Everyone solemnly agreed.
Lin Qingluo nodded in satisfaction, pointed at the Formation Disk with a bamboo stick, and explained carefully.
Wang Meng and the others listened attentively, occasionally discussing the Formation Disk, creating an unprecedented atmosphere of learning.

Wu Mountain, Wu Clan.
Since ancient times, the Wu Clan has worn white clothes and painted three colorful lines on their right cheeks, regardless of gender.
The women wear jade feathers in their hair, while the men wear necklaces made of animal bones–a skull carved from bones.
The number of skulls symbolizes a person's status within the clan.

Dressed in black, Mu Fan climbed the stairs made of dry bones and entered the Wu Mountain. Among the Wu Clan members dressed in white, he stood out.
The Wu Clan avoided contact with outsiders. Seeing someone entering Wu Mountain, the clan members retreated to their wooden huts, closed their doors and windows while the bustling plaza that used to hold large-scale sacrificial ceremonies became empty.
“Dinglingling, dinglingling.”
Delightful bell sounds came from deep inside the valley. Mu Fan looked around and saw no one. After a moment of contemplation, he followed the bell sounds and ran.
After Mu Fan left, someone quietly opened a crack in their window, peeking out to watch him, and whispered:
“Another outsider has come, looks like a Cultivator.”
“Don't know whose bad luck it is this time, having a child with special abilities chosen to be forcefully taken away as a slave or servant, separated from their parents.”
“Damn, what a sin. That old bastard, the Clan Patriarch, trades our children for benefits. He'll be struck by lightning sooner or later.”
“Shush, keep it down. You'll get yourself killed if the witch finds out; she'll burn you alive.”
“Witches are just the Clan Patriarch's accomplices, not one of them is any good.”
“You can't say that, at least Grandma Mu is a good person. If it weren't for her, the patriarch would be even more arrogant, and our people would be persecuted to death.”
“Heaven must be blind, not sending a single bolt of lightning to strike the Patriarch dead. When will our suffering end?”
“Right, it's been getting more and more unbearable these past few years. The witches openly persecute our people, and no one dares to resist.”
