Yan Qing stepped forward without even taking out his knife, facing the menacing group. Before they could shout, he reached out his hand, and a purple-gold token swayed slightly in the wary eyes of the burly man.

"May I ask who you are?"

"I am your grandfather..." The big man's gaze settled, and he was stunned when he saw the patterns and words on the purple-gold token. Then his eyes moved back and forth between the token and Yan Qing's exposed eyebrows.

The three large, bold characters of "Supreme Sect" stand out prominently.

The burly man's voice suddenly changed, as if he'd been choked, "The helper I found for you, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

One of them couldn't help but send a telepathic message to the burly man in the lead, "Brother, are you giving up already? Have you ever seen a real disciple's token from the Supreme Sect? What if this is fake? That mine looks like a treasure trove; I could smell the spiritual energy from ten feet away..."

"I'm not sure if they're real, but I can't prove they're fake either. But if we still have to fight after they reveal their identities, and if they really are from the Supreme Sect, who knows if we'll face their powerful master after we get out? Are you willing to take that bet?" the big man replied.

Seeing that the crowd still had objections, he continued to transmit his voice, "Anyway, let's blend in with them first and then make plans. How can just eight people mine? The Chamber of Commerce's mining team has nearly a hundred people just mining. We can easily do something underhanded while helping them."

Yan Qing glanced at the people behind him. "Are these all accomplices you've brought in?"

While weighing the authenticity of the token in his mind, the burly man forced a smile and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Unfortunately, it's not necessary." Yan Qing put away the token, his voice steady.

The next instant, a tremendous tremor exploded behind him as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart.

The group of people opposite Yan Qing widened their eyes at the same time, like geese being hoisted up, their eyes bulging and their necks stretched out.

Yue Han turned around in surprise, only to see a huge silver array unfolding beneath the feet of the man in blue, with mountains collapsing and the earth cracking within it.

The others who were busy had already retreated. In the shockwave, only the figure in blue remained unmoved. Only the hem of his robe was swayed backward by the impact of the spiritual energy. The rolling stones had clearly rolled in front of him, but in the next instant, they turned into dust.

The dust of moonstone refracted a dark light amidst the swirling ashes, and a beam of light pierced through the scattered figures standing in front of the formation. Amidst the tremendous tremors, someone could still clearly hear the tinkling of a copper bell.

The four turned around, and four pairs of eyes on their face masks locked onto the group of people who had come to try and steal the treasure.

The Rakshasa gang members were dumbfounded.

Lin Du's gaze swept indifferently over the group of people, his voice cold, "Yuan Yi, bring out the weapons."

"Alright." Yuan Ye deftly began to take out the Xuan Rabbit.

These two simple sentences were not so simple in the ears of the Rakshasa gang.

"Boss, should we... run?"

Such a large array, capable of covering an entire mountain, is something they can't afford to offend, even if the array master isn't from the Supreme Sect.

"Since you don't need our help, we'll be leaving now."

The burly man smiled at Yan Qing, and the dozen or so men took a step back in unison. Seeing that the group didn't react, they turned around with remarkable coordination and then ran away.

Yuan Ye pulled out ten Xuan Rabbits that he had painstakingly crafted overtime, and glanced suspiciously behind him. "They were so aggressive just now, that one with the spiked club looked like he was about to attack, why did they just leave like that?"

Lin Du chuckled, "Who knows? Maybe he really does know Yan Qing's grandfather."

Yuan Ye chuckled dryly, "That makes sense."

Xia Tianwu walked over and said, "Junior Uncle, you should rest. That formation just now consumed too much energy. It's enough for each of us to control two."

Lin Du nodded, walked to the side, found a rock to lean against, and swallowed the pill to restore his consciousness and spiritual power.

Huang Xuan's gaze towards "Zhen Liu" at this moment was rather subtle.

That grand formation just now was definitely not something a cultivator in his twenties could set up.

With such capabilities, why do they still have to rely on cheating and deception to make a living?

In the Central Plains, the cost of a listing in the Array Master Alliance starts at at least 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Yue Han is like a troubled child; even when scared, she still rushes to the front lines to watch the excitement.

"What Yan Qi is saying is that you're using an array to detonate it? But won't that shatter the Moon Crystal? If it's shattered, won't it fetch a lower price?"

As Yue Han continued asking questions, her gaze lingered on a vague outline hidden beneath a haze of smoke, then gradually focused, and her voice abruptly ceased.

"Why...why is everything okay inside?"

In the visible area, there was a huge crater, but standing in the crater was like the heart of an onion that had been peeled away, with stars shining through the gray rocks.

That's what the raw Moon Crystal looks like. After being cut and polished, it's put on the market in the Cave Realm and fetches an astronomical price.

It is not only a source of abundant spiritual energy, but can also be used to refine magical artifacts, maintain formations, and even make jewelry to nourish the body.

"Because we estimated the location of the internal mineral deposits and then designed the effective range of the array," Lin Du said calmly. "Like I said, we are a professional team."

She only had one chance to practice at the Supreme Sect, and it was interrupted by those two brats, Yuan Ye and Yan Qing.

Seeing that Yue Han was still puzzled, she smiled and pointed to the front of her, "The world in front of me is just a chessboard, and each array stone is a chess piece. They have different functions. I keep the pieces that I want to gain later and eat the pieces that are in the way. That is my array."

"But you... Yan Qi just told me that this is the Mountain-Breaking Formation. Just from the name, it doesn't sound the same as what you're talking about."

"Yes, the Mountain-Breaking Formation." Lin Du casually dusted off his gloves. "It's different from others. Tell me, isn't our professional team's performance worth it, young master?"

Yue Han nodded vigorously, then asked, "What's that huge...huge magical artifact they use for mining, that thing that looks like a pangolin, called?"

"Mysterious Rabbit," Lin Du interrupted him, "Don't say that to Yuan Yi, it will hurt his feelings. We call this a rabbit."

"But... isn't he Le Xiu? Why would he be sad?" Yue Han asked, puzzled.

"Because he sawed the wood and made the frame." Lin Du crossed his arms and raised his chin. "Don't ask why he saws wood anymore. It's because we're poor. We're poor, so we make everything ourselves. Poor children learn to be independent early, so we can do everything."

Yue Han said "Oh," and then added, "This Xuan Rabbit is digging up these Moon Crystals so fast! What will we play down there after we finish mining?"

Lin Du thought for a moment, "If we cross the mining area, we might encounter the Moon Sea next. Beneath the Moon Sea are the only two places in the Cold Moon Secret Realm where spiritual plants grow, and it's also the place where we're most likely to find good spiritual plants, so I'll take you down into the sea."

"But before that, we might have to go through a big free-for-all. If we find a suitable mine along the way, we might take it with us. Do you mind, young master? I promise I'll try my best to give you a different experience."

Yue Han's thoughts were no longer on Lin Du, because Yuan Ye turned to look at Yue Han and asked loudly, "Young Master, would you like to try controlling it yourself?"

Those who had been feeling a bit bored just moments before instantly perked up, shouting, "Here I come! Here I come!"

Yuan Ye then pulled out an initial version of the Xuan Rabbit and chuckled.

It feels so good to have a boss who pays me wages while I work for him!

Now all eleven Xuan Rabbits that I had prepared for myself can be used.
