The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

"It's Black Profound Gold, one of only two rare minerals in the Cold Moon Secret Realm. In our Dongming Realm, it's sold by weight. If you use it to refine weapons, you can easily make a Heaven-grade magic treasure. If you use it to set up an array, it will definitely be a great Earth-grade or Heaven-grade array."

Looking at the mountain before him, Lin Du felt that nature was truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Now that her eyes no longer hurt and she felt more energetic, she held a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, while Yan Qing, Mo Lin, and Yuan Ye helped her take detailed measurements.

Xia Tian coughed lightly, "Junior Uncle, take care of yourself."

Lin Du scribbled furiously, "I know, I know, we'll leave as soon as we're done moving. That's just how it is."

Yue Han was still confused, so she randomly found someone who was free and, while stroking the now almost dazzling moonstone, asked, "What are they preparing to do this time?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Jinxuan smiled and said, "Can't you tell? Junior Uncle is preparing to set up an array."

Yue Han frowned. "Is it that complicated? I seem to remember that the array formation book has diagrams. Wouldn't it be better to just follow them?"

"That still needs to be calculated!" Ni Jinxuan tilted her head. "The array diagrams in the book also describe how to break each array. If everyone follows the book exactly, and you set up an array only to have it broken, is there any array in the world that can be successfully formed?"

Yue Han suddenly realized, "That makes perfect sense."

Lin Du, who had heard everything: ...She didn't seem to say that, did she?

Formations are adapted to local conditions and are subject to changes due to magnetic fields and various nearby factors. This is especially true for such a large formation. Which formation master would not need to survey the site, define the effective range, and calculate the specific types and sizes of formation stones required?

Never mind... Lin Du continued drawing, let them be.

These two people seem to have similar thought processes, so let their fallacies be fallacies.

After the three people finished measuring, only Lin Du was left on site, writing and drawing, and then he started taking out various array materials.

"Alright, kids, come help me set up the array stones, get moving." Lin Du put down the last few things and began to call out to the people.

Seeing everyone run away, Yue Han suddenly remembered, "I haven't asked what kind of formation it was yet. Was it the same explosive formation as before?"

He turned to look at Huang Xuan, "Do you know?"

Little did Huang Xuan know that he was currently torn between thinking, "This woman doesn't seem like a good person" and "If she's after money, we're rich and have nothing to fear."

Lin Du took longer to set up the formation this time, calculating in her mind as she did so.

These are all genuine materials with different attributes but abundant spiritual energy, and their value is roughly estimated at 5,739 high-grade spirit stones and 50 low-grade spirit stones.

However, as long as we take this mountain, everything else will be fine. We can sell some, keep most of it in the sect's treasury, and sell it slowly. The Supreme Sect's treasury account book will show an increase of +99999...

Lin Du, his mind full of business ideas, suddenly heard Yue Han's nervous voice behind him.

"Several groups of people seem to be heading this way."

Lin Du sighed. Cultivators in the cultivation world are like dogs that come for the scent of spiritual energy. No matter how fast you move, someone will arrive in the first place.

This rare ore is different from spirit crystal ore; it has a higher utilization value.

Her hands moved non-stop as she practiced her footwork, her movements swift and far faster than her junior disciples who were following instructions. It only took her a short while to circle around a mountain.

From a distance, it looks like a wisp of mist clinging to the foot of the mountain, leaving one puzzled.

The other five people stopped what they were doing and consciously stepped back down the mountain to let their junior uncle have his turn.

Yue Han and Huang Xuan were both stunned. "She could set it up so quickly by herself, why did she need your help?"

"Junior Uncle is frail and has poor eyesight, so we can't help him with anything, but at least we can at least feel involved," Yuan Ye said matter-of-factly. "Besides, do you think such high-intensity, precise judgment doesn't consume physical strength, spiritual energy, and divine sense?"

Huang Xuan thought he had learned the Zhongzhou dialect wrong, because they called someone physically weak.

Can someone who is truly weak walk that fast? That's ridiculous!

"Really? If our junior uncle weren't so frail, would he be this poor?" Yuan Ye started spouting nonsense, dragging Xia Tian into it without any evidence. "The amount of money she spends on the rare and precious herbs she uses to prolong her life each year is equivalent to the price of this mine right here!"

Summer nodded without cooperating, her exceptionally calm eyes were extremely convincing.

Huang Xuan: ...Alright then.

Yue Han was heartbroken upon hearing this. "Really? I've heard there's an old saying in Zhongzhou: 'Good people don't live long.' She really was a good person..."

Yuan Ye: ...Well, it's not like that, you can't just reverse the reasoning.

History repeated itself, and from afar someone shouted, "It's black gold! It's a rare mineral!"

"Brothers! We've struck gold!"

Xia Tian frowned slightly, sensing that trouble was brewing again. "Why is it that when everyone discovers a mine, they don't immediately check if there's an owner, but instead say they've struck it rich?"

"Actually... if it were us, we would do the same," Mo Lin whispered. "After all, this whole mountain is full of rare minerals, which are extremely profitable. Anyone who sees it would be overjoyed."

Xia Tian glanced at him and said, "Then go rob someone else's mine."

Mo Lin silently shut up, then added an attempt to explain, "I don't steal what's already taken."

This time, however, they weren't as easy to talk to as last time, because they would stab anyone near the mountain.

The blade energy descended from above with the force of splitting a mountain, heading straight for Lin Du, who was setting up an array on the mountain.

Mo Lin and Yan Qing simultaneously leaped into the air, one wielding a blade and the other a sword, severing the blade energy in mid-air.

Yue Han's voice tightened immediately, "Be careful! They don't have spiritual energy on them!"

Regardless of whether they are human or demon, they all cultivate spiritual energy and are spiritual cultivators. After concealing the demonic energy of their race, demonic beasts are no different from humans.

There is only one difference: the demon.

On the other side, another group of people approached from afar. Huang Xuan frowned slightly. "Sea Clan."

You can smell the fishy odor in the air from a long distance.

On the other side, a group of monks from the merchant guild were approaching from afar.

"Now that's what you call acting swiftly upon hearing the news," Yan Qing sneered, flipping his wrists to grip the hilts of his sword with both hands, and assuming a forward stance.

In Zhongzhou, the name of the Supreme Sect might have been useful, but now that all sorts of demons and monsters have come, the name of the Supreme Sect is no longer of much use.

"Let's run!" Yue Han shouted. "We can't beat them!"

"Junior Uncle... what should we do?" Xia Tianwu drew his soft sword.

"Junior Uncle, name your number, how much longer? We'll hold on!" Yuan Ye stretched his limbs and threw out a wooden puppet shaped like a giant tortoise.

Lin Du had already taken out the Floating Life Fan, and his voice steadily reached the ears of the people in front, "If it really doesn't work in half an incense stick's time, you should run first."

Before she could finish speaking, with a loud bang, the surging demonic energy collided with Yan Qing's golden sword energy, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound that made one's eardrums itch.

Immediately afterwards, several heavy humanoid sea creatures rushed towards Yuan Ye.

Yuan Ye channeled his spiritual power to manipulate the giant puppet. "Hey, see that? Beat them until they reveal their true forms and turn into turtles, then you'll be the King of Turtles!"

A blazing fire formed an inextinguishable barrier in front of the mountain, making it difficult to approach. Huang Xuan stood in front of Yue Han, saying, "Young Master, let's go first."

A hammer, like a shooting star, came hurtling through the air, heading straight for Yue Han's face. A figure in apricot blossoms appeared out of nowhere in front of Yue Han, so close that Ni Jinxuan's pupils could not see anything else.

She raised her fist, channeled her spiritual power, and directly clashed with the hammer, sending it crashing back along its original path.

"My junior uncle said he'll definitely protect you! You have to trust that we're professionals!"

Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment. That hammer just now... it must have carried at least a thousand pounds of force.

Is this the power one should have at the early stage of the Cloud Soaring Realm?

How could he actually believe that this was a professional team?
