"We're just going to hang around here without paying. What can you do about it?"
"If you don't want to earn any more Cloud Energy from the other Senior Brother Lin, feel free to go on strike."
Several Senior Brother Lin were being sarcastic and mocking, clearly just there to cause trouble.
"Yeah, we rely on our own abilities to seize opportunities, so why should we pay?"
Hearing one shameless remark after another, Lin Qiubai couldn't help but laugh.
This kind of shameless nonsense was exactly to his taste.
Very much so!
Lin Qiubai was quite angry but didn't show it. Instead, he flicked his fingers lightly, and one Sealing Array after another fell around him, isolating those Senior Brother Lin.
However, the Senior Brother Lin looked disdainfully at the simple Formation in front of them.
They sneered repeatedly, casually channeling their Vital Energy and throwing a punch.
"Crack."
With a crisp sound, dense cracks spread up the transparent Light Barrier formed by the Formation.
The Thin Light Screen emitted a faint glow, twisting and distorting like foam being torn apart by a fierce wind. Ultimately, it could not withstand the pressure and shattered in an instant.
The barrier of the Formation was broken, and the group of Senior Brother Lin became even more arrogant, crossing their arms and looking at Lin Qiubai with amusement.
It seemed to silently mock him: Can you do anything to us?
Lin Qiubai remained silent.
"These people are truly despicable!"
Yuan Chonghuan frowned, visibly angry.
"When I become a powerful Creation Realm cultivator, I will crush all these shameless individuals!
They complete their missions outside the sect, and I will go destroy them!
If they explore the secret realm, I will have to seize their opportunities halfway!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai turned his head in shock to look at the muttering Yuan Chonghuan.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that Yuan Chonghuan looked somewhat cute in this moment.
The cute boy paper is truly terrifying!
...
"Hiss!"
Lin Qiubai quickly suppressed the terrifying thoughts in his mind and looked sternly at the ruffians.
However, due to Yuan Chonghuan's incessant chatter, he felt no anger at the moment.
His mindset was very calm.
"It's okay, they will reap what they sow."
Lin Qiubai reassured Yuan Chonghuan, his cold gaze fixed on a few troublemakers, deeply imprinting their faces in his memory.
The situation fell into a standoff for a moment.
...
In the clouds, one after another, figures from the Creation Realm and Senior Brother Lin descended.
They all wanted to investigate further.
Lin Qiubai truly possesses an extraordinary charm.
However, I did not expect the atmosphere here to be so awkward.
The crowd was growing larger.
Some of the Senior Brother Lin could no longer hold back.
"Lin Shidi, these rascals won't affect your income much, so why waste your time?"
Just as Lin Qiubai was about to respond, he spotted Elder Wei approaching from a distance.
Suddenly, an idea struck him: "Elder Wei, I happen to have something I need your help with..."
Lin Qiubai stepped forward and shared his thoughts with Elder Wei.
He wanted to use the free time for listening to music to hire Elder Wei as a "bodyguard."
With Elder Wei present to suppress the situation, there would be very few who dared to cause trouble among the Senior Brothers.
Elder Wei readily agreed.
His aura surged, driving away those who were causing disturbances.
However, this tactic was only effective at the moment. Those rascals lingered in the distance, their gazes filled with amusement.
Lin Qiubai was also aware of their intentions.
When Elder Wei became immersed in the music, he would not easily awaken.
At that time, they would be able to make a comeback and sit nearby to take advantage of the opportunity.
It was a deadlock.
Time was precious, and Lin Qiubai did not want to spend extra time playing "Spring River, Flower, Moon Night" for Elder Wei.
This unsolvable situation was very awkward!
"Forget it, forget it. I can't let small losses lead to bigger ones. I'll take my revenge another time."
Lin Qiubai did not want to continue complaining.
He could only suffer a small loss for now.
However, Zhuang Bifan, who had been silent all along, suddenly patted Lin Qiubai's shoulder.
"Lin Brother, I happen to have a Divine-Level Formation Array. It can isolate space, and naturally, the sound can be completely blocked as well. It's just that my cultivation is too low; it may be difficult to activate..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiubai's eyes brightened.
No matter what formation it is, in front of the Supreme Heavenly Dao, it is merely "floating clouds."
Thus, Lin Qiubai did not hesitate to ask, "Let me give it a try."
"Lin Brother really wants to attempt it? This is a divine-level formation plate; only a Fourth Rank formation master can activate it..."
Zhuang Bifan had just said this on a whim.
A divine-level formation plate requires a Fourth Rank formation master to operate.
And a Fourth Rank formation master is already equivalent to a Nirvana Realm Warrior...
Lin Qiubai's cultivation level was far from that of a Fourth Rank formation master.
However, since Lin Qiubai insisted, Zhuang Bifan did not hesitate and quickly took out the formation plate from his storage ring.
Lin Qiubai happily received it and examined it closely.
The formation plate was very ancient.
It was a thin piece of wood, with intricate growth rings on its surface, densely packed in circles, the number countless.
Strangely, it was only the size of a palm and as thick as a thumb.
Yet it was as hard as gold and as heavy as a mountain.
Lin Qiubai held it dearly, his fingers tracing the grooves of the rings, feeling the mysterious four-tier formation.
"Based on the rings, there is indeed a hint of innate borrowing of power. This must be an early attempt by some master of formations."
The spirit of the artifact was astonished.
Hearing this, Lin Qiubai was slightly taken aback.
Borrowing innate power?
Interesting.
With this thought, a faint light flickered in Lin Qiubai's eyes, and shallow golden lines danced within his pupils.
Their trajectory was intricate and profound, like a giant dragon soaring through the deep starry sky.
"Ha..."
Lin Qiubai took a deep breath, his expression serious, as his fingers swiftly began to sketch on the formation plate, his entire energy flowing into the rings like the River of Jianghe under the sun.
The crowd watched in confusion.
"What is he doing? He can't really think he can activate a divine-level array and isolate us, right?"
A few troublemakers laughed uncontrollably. It was truly a sight to behold; a Yuan Dan Realm Warrior attempting to activate a divine-level array?
"This is ridiculous! This new student is going to make me laugh to death!"
Lin Qiubai paid no attention to the mockery.
With a focused mind, he began to sketch golden lines.
As he continued his drawing, the energy within him was rapidly consumed!
Lin Qiubai's heart tightened as his fingers glided over his storage ring.
Countless Medium-Grade Origin Stones transformed into a torrent of energy, flowing into the array, and in an instant, they vanished without a trace...
After a long while, the divine-level array finally began to emit a series of mechanical sounds.
Blinding light erupted from the array, accompanied by rippling waves of transparency.
The mysterious formation spread its power, isolating the world around it.
At the same time, it pushed all those from the Creation Realm and Senior Brother Lin out to a hundred meters away.
Such immense power left them unable to resist.
A Light Barrier completely enveloped the courtyard in front of Lin Qiubai's house.
Inside and outside the Light Barrier, though only a short distance apart, it felt as if a galaxy separated them.
At this moment, all the Creation Realm members and Senior Brother Lin present stared in shock at the Light Barrier before them.
Their gazes quickly shifted to Lin Qiubai's shoulder, and upon seeing his resolute face, they were left speechless.
Their mouths felt dry, and even swallowing was quite difficult.
Senior Brother Lin, who was well-versed in formations, was particularly dumbfounded, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
A Divine-Level Formation Array—can it really be activated just like that?
Is this still human?!
Zhuang Bifan forced himself to calm down, wearing an expression of speculation.
"Could Lin Brother really be comparable to a Fourth Rank Array Master of the Nirvana Realm?
No, that's impossible!
To reach the level of a Fourth Rank Array Master, one must at least be at the half-step Nirvana Realm in cultivation."
Zhuang Bifan quickly dismissed this thought.
"Lin Brother's special physique and affinity for arrays?"
As expected of a Second Body, Zhuang Bifan was able to guess quite accurately.
Lin Qiubai smiled and did not deny it, turning to look at the nearly two hundred senior brothers.
A divine-level array disk, one that contained a hint of Innate Power, had been perfectly activated and controlled by him.
He easily isolated those rascals trying to take advantage of the opportunity.
With this in mind, Lin Qiubai smiled slightly: "You must pay the Cloud Energy Value to enter and listen to the music.
The opportunity is here; whether you can seize it depends on your personal comprehension..."
