Niehua Temple might not be particularly large, but it wasn't exactly small either. With fifteen or sixteen people scattered about searching, the distances between them were quite considerable. The noise that the Star Martial Warriors made rummaging through the ruins was extraordinary, almost like a scene of heavy machinery at work.
Using Earth Attribute Star Martial Skills, the Leveraging Skill, and similar abilities was commonplace. But what Wang Lan did—using Weight Exchange to make objects within tens of meters float into the sky like cosmic debris—was visually stunning.
The temple had a main hall, but there were also some houses quite far from it. These were probably meant for high-ranking monks. This wasn't because they were of higher status and needed to be separate, but because distance from others was more conducive to their meditative practices.
For example, Master Chenghai practiced his silent meditation in a dilapidated hut on the back mountain.
