One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

This was the first time Sun Yao had directly experienced the Qimen Dunjia techniques of sorcerers. After developing the fire, earth, and water element methods, Sun Yao had become increasingly disdainful of Qimen Dunjia.

But only today could he understand the mysteries of Qimen Dunjia. Qimen Dunjia completely evolved into a microcosm within this world, and the sorcerer could control the world according to the rules of Qimen Dunjia within this microcosm.

However, in this world, they still have to act according to the rules. For example, when standing in the Li position, they can only use fire magic. Everything that sorcerers do in Qimen Dunjia is inseparable from the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man and God. All the methods they use are within the eight gates of Life, Open, Rest, Block, View, Death, Shock and Injury.

But then, a Feng Hou Qi Men appeared in this world, who could manipulate the four plates and eight gates of Qi Men Dun Jia at will, like a rogue. Every direction covered by the Qi Men Dun Jia formation he set up was under his control. The person who used Feng Hou Qi Men was like the Heavenly Dao of a small world within the Dun Jia formation, freely controlling and manipulating the world within it.

The more Sun Yao understood the various methods, the more he felt the wonder of the so-called Eight Extraordinary Techniques. He had met Zhou Sheng and Zheng Zibu, and there was no way the two of them could have comprehended such a method. Something must have happened when Wu Gensheng invited them to the Ascension Cave in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, which would have given rise to such a thing as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

With this in mind, Sun Yao made up his mind. After things were settled here, he would definitely go to the so-called Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley to take a look. Even if he gained nothing from it, seeing the so-called original version of the cultivation furnace in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley would be worthwhile.

"Alright, now that you've finished calculating, let's get ready to go down into the tomb."

Sun Yao waved his hand, and the well-equipped members of the Unloading Ridge Sect, armed with submachine guns, rushed into the town before them. They had already received word that more than half of the town's inhabitants were Japanese, with the remainder being laborers working in the mines.

The entire mine was occupied by the Japanese under the guise of mining as early as the late Qing Dynasty. To take over the mine, one would undoubtedly have to confront the Japanese.

Just when everyone thought it was going to be a fierce battle, things took an interesting turn. The first shot was fired on the front of the town, and then gunfire and artillery fire began to converge from all directions.

Except for the side of the mining town that backs onto the mine, gunfire could be heard from every direction. The battle lasted less than 15 minutes from start to finish, and everyone in the town except for the terrified laborers was wiped out.

Just then, a group of soldiers approached them from a distance.

"Reporting to Daoist Master, the entire town has been cleared out, and I have led my team to surround the entire mine. Daoist Master and your brothers, please carry out your work. I guarantee that not a single fly will be let in."

"Yes, Commander Luo is very thoughtful. With you guarding us, we can go down into the tomb with peace of mind."

The man who arrived was Luo Laowai, who had been assigned to the mine's defenses long ago. Sun Yao had instructed him to do a good job of defending the mine. After receiving the order, he led two regiments to surround the entire mine. Two reinforced regiments surrounded a mine, which could be said to be watertight.

"How is it? Is there anything unusual?"

After Luo Laowai finished his report, Sun Yao pulled him aside and began to question him. Luo Laowai's troops had arrived here long ago, so they should have been the first to know if anything had happened in the past two days.

"Two nights ago, on the very first night I led my team to this area around the mine, these Japanese devils drove in with a group of people. Judging from their respectful manner, they must also be Japanese, and probably of high rank. The brother in charge of observation said that they were all wearing tall hats and wide-sleeved white robes."

"Okay, I understand. Make sure the defenses around here are in place. No one can be let in, and similarly, no one can be let out."

"Hey, Daoist, just you wait and see. With me, Luo Laowai, around, there won't be any surprises!"

"Stop spouting nonsense. Here's a pill for you. After you take it, you'll gain strength far beyond that of ordinary people. This is not just a reward, but also a responsibility. If you guard this place well, I will reward you generously. If anything goes wrong because of you, you can think about the consequences yourself."

As Sun Yao spoke, he tossed a crimson pill to Luo Laowai. It was a pill that he had accidentally created while refining pills for Yue Qiluo over the past three years, and he named it the Tiger and Leopard Pill.

A single pill can give an ordinary person the strength to tear apart a tiger or leopard, but it only enhances strength and speed, and may have some effect on bone strength, but it cannot generate Qi.

This Tiger and Leopard Pill is merely a pill to improve physical fitness. If you want to cultivate external martial arts techniques, you can take it first before practicing to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Luo Laowai took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, without the slightest suspicion that there was anything wrong with it.

"Don't worry, Master Dao. If anything goes wrong with me, I'll pay you with my head."

"Okay, go and set up the defenses."

After Sun Yao finished speaking, he walked towards the mine, where the eight thousand brothers of the Unloading Ridge Sect had already gathered. In addition, he also saw some unexpected people, Zhang Qishan and Er Yuehong.

"Why did you two follow me here?"

"Reporting to Daoist, my great-uncle once went down this tomb during the late Qing Dynasty. More than half of my Hong family's direct descendants perished in this tomb. First of all, if you want to go down into this tomb, you will surely need my help."

After hearing Er Yuehong's explanation, Sun Yao nodded. In the original story, Er Yuehong's iron pellets helped them navigate the Sixty-Four Hexagrams Maze, so bringing him along would likely be useful as well.

He then turned to Zhang Qishan and said, "Master Dao, this matter involves the Japanese. They might be up to something that could harm Shacheng. I am the garrison commander of Shacheng, and this concerns the people of Shacheng, so I had to come."

"Alright, since you want to come along, then come along. You'll be quite capable once you get down there, which will be of some help to this trip."

After Sun Yao finished speaking, he went to the front of the group and said, "Everyone follow behind me, let's go into the cave!"

At Sun Yao's command, the Unloading Ridge army set off under his leadership. But just as they were about to enter the mine, a figure darted out from inside.

"We can't go in yet. There's a fierce fight going in. Going in now would make us sitting ducks." It was a middle-aged man in a blue Taoist robe, who stood alone at the mine entrance.

"Hmm? Who are you?" Sun Yao frowned slightly. Just as he was about to move the person blocking his way, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Uncle-Master?! What are you doing here?"
