Chapter 78: The Supre Formation Displays Its Power; Xuanlin Peak Sends People Again
In the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Zhou Lin was cultivating inside the shop, absorbing spiritual energy.
Sensing sothing, he looked up and saw a middle-aged man slowly approaching the shop, his aura powerful.
Zhou Lin remained calm and asked, "Are you a senior from the Fallen Fla Sect? Here to cause trouble?"
The man's face showed slight surprise. "Shopkeeper, you certainly have an eye for talent. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is truly remarkable. How did you know?"
Zhou Lin asked, "What brings you here? Your disciple already caused a scene."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a mont before replying, "I am Yang Yan, Elder of the Fallen Fla Sect, Xiao Kai's master. I've co to apologize to you on behalf of my disappointing disciple. He was out of line."
Zhou Lin was startled. An Elder of the Fallen Fla Sect—that ant a Foundation Establishnt cultivator! He had actually co personally.
However, Zhou Lin remained calm on the surface, keeping his composure. "I accept the apology. If there's nothing else, Elder, please return. The matter is closed."
Yang Yan frowned upon hearing this. "Shopkeeper, can the blacklist on my Fallen Fla Sect be removed? It would be a great favor."
Zhou Lin shook his head firmly. "The order from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion cannot be lifted. Once blacklisted, always blacklisted. Those are the rules."
Yang Yan narrowed his eyes, his voice dropping. "So there's no room for negotiation? Not even for an elder?"
Zhou Lin stood his ground. "Elder, you are free to take action. My little shop being destroyed is fine. The higher-ups can simply open another one. However, the Fallen Fla Sect must be prepared for retaliation from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. Think carefully."
Yang Yan was not intimidated. Instead, he questioned, his aura rising. "Do you really think I'm easily frightened? I've faced worse threats."
With that, a terrifying aura of cultivation suddenly emanated from his body, revealing him to be at the early Foundation Establishnt stage. The pressure filled the street.
Imdiately afterward, Yang Yan waved his hand, and the ancient ring on his finger flashed. A long sword instantly appeared in his hand, gleaming with power.
Zhou Lin's pupils constricted upon seeing this. A low-grade Yuan-level magic weapon! This was serious.
"Today I'll test just how powerful the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion really is! Let's see if your formations can stop !"
With that, Yang Yan flashed to the entrance of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, raising his magic sword and slashing down with trendous force.
Thud—
Suddenly, a transparent light barrier appeared before Yang Yan, preventing his sword from advancing an inch. The barrier held firm.
"A top-grade defensive formation!!!" Yang Yan exclaid in shock, his eyes wide.
Before he could react, a beam of light shot out from the formation, heading straight for Yang Yan with blinding speed.
Yang Yan quickly raised his sword to block, channeling his spiritual energy.
Boom—
Instantly, Yang Yan was blasted away by the beam of light, flying a considerable distance before coming to a stop, his robes singed.
Standing in the air, sword in hand, Yang Yan looked at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, his brows furrowed deeply. He reassessed.
If it were just a top-grade offensive formation, he could break it with so of his trump cards, or even withstand the attack and kill that damned manager. It would be possible.
But he hadn't expected the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to also set up a top-grade defensive formation. The two working together made it extrely difficult to deal with. He was outmatched.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Of course, he could break through the formation even with all his trump cards, but that wouldn't be worthwhile. His trump cards weren't obtained by chance. They were bought with spirit stones he had saved for decades. It would be a waste.
Looking at Yang Yan, who stood in the air with an uncertain expression, Zhou Lin couldn't help but stretch casually. "Elder, take your ti breaking the formation. I'm going to the restroom. No rush."
With that, Zhou Lin turned and went to the back room, leaving Yang Yan standing there.
At that mont, a crow was perched on the window, a package hanging from its claws, waiting.
Zhou Lin quickly went over and opened it, and was completely astonished by what he saw inside. His jaw dropped.
After a long while, Zhou Lin, regaining his senses, quickly opened the letter, his hands shaking.
"Inside is a poison and an antidote. The antidote can completely remove the previous poison, and the poison is a new one I've made."
"If you don't want to stay, you can take the antidote and leave freely. You can take the rest of the items as paynt for your work. No hard feelings."
"If you decide to continue following, take both pills and continue serving. The choice is yours."
Without hesitation, Zhou Lin grabbed two pills and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowing them. He then gathered the rest of the items and walked back outside.
Yang Yan was still standing in the air, his expression still uncertain. Seemingly caught in so kind of dilemma, he couldn't decide whether to attack or leave.
Zhou Lin couldn't help but laugh, feeling a surge of confidence. "Elder Yang Yan, would you like a cup of tea before you think it over? I have so good leaves."
With that, Zhou Lin slapped two top-grade Fire Lightning Talismans on the table for show and went to make tea, his back to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan's pupils constricted upon seeing this!
Top-grade Fire Lightning Talismans! Those were incredibly rare and powerful.
Although these things couldn't kill him, they could easily injure him, especially if used while he was focused on the formation.
If the opponent suddenly used them while he was breaking the formation, it would be truly troubleso. He would be caught off guard.
After much deliberation and weighing the pros and cons, Yang Yan finally smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you've misunderstood. I just wanted to test the power of a top-grade formation. I had absolutely no other intentions. My apologies for the disturbance."
Zhou Lin gulped down a few mouthfuls of tea from the teapot he had just brewed before saying casually, "Elder, you can actually give it a try if you want. Soone from above has already been sent over, and I think the envoy would be very happy to have so tea and a chat with you. They're on their way."
Yang Yan's heart tightened upon hearing this. He imdiately turned and flew away, calling back, "Everyone has to go to the bathroom sotis. See you later, shopkeeper! No hard feelings!"
Zhou Lin was speechless. "Just an elder taking a dump, yet so arrogant. All that bluster for nothing."
Putting away the Fire Lightning Talisman on the table, Zhou Lin walked towards the back with his hands behind his back, a satisfied smile on his face.
He was going to cultivate with the "Spirit-grade, top-grade, Qi Gathering Pill" and increase his strength.
As for the shop door, he'd leave it open. Anyway, with the formation guarding it, it could provide early warning at any ti. No one would dare.
The remaining Foundation Establishnt herbs and spiritual herbs would be sold in a few days. He could focus on cultivation from now on and let the reputation grow.

The next day, after cultivating all night, Xu Ning suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy flowing through his body, his dantian expanding.
Clenching his fist, Xu Ning couldn't help but feel excited. He had reached the second level of Qi Refining! Finally, progress.
As expected of a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill. Just two pills had allowed him to break through to the second level. Although this was combined with Xu Ning's previous accumulation of knowledge, the effect was still incredibly powerful. He was accelerating.
Since there was nothing else to do today, he might as well continue cultivating and consolidate his new level.
Xu Ning was about to take out another top-grade Qi Gathering Pill to cultivate when he heard a commotion outside.
A sudden commotion erupted outside, and Xu Ning quickly got up to investigate, his senses on alert.
Outside, a plump, arrogant middle-aged man stood in the spirit field not far away, his feet trampling on the Cloud Spirit Flowers Xu Ning had planted with his own hands.
Xu Ning frowned but remained silent, watching.
"Kang Xingyao, pack your things and report to Xuanlin Peak. You have two hours! Don't be late."
With that, the man walked away, stepping on Xu Ning's Cloud Spirit Flowers without a care, leaving Xu Ning deeply disapproving.
Xu Ning imdiately sensed sothing was wrong and quickly headed towards Kang Xingyao's thatched hut, his steps urgent.
Kang Xingyao was sitting blankly on his bed, staring at the wall, his face pale.
He knew in his heart that this departure ant he would never return. It was a death sentence.
Seeing Xu Ning walk in, Kang Xingyao couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Junior Brother Xu Ning, I won't congratulate you on reaching the second level of Qi Refining. It seems I won't be here to see you grow."
Xu Ning's voice was low. "I always thought that since we didn't confront them like Yin Zi did, they would let us go. I didn't expect that we still couldn't escape it. After you go, it will probably be my turn soon. They're cleaning house."
Kang Xingyao sighed. "From the mont we were transferred to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, our fate was already sealed. We were marked. There was no escape."
Xu Ning was stunned, then slowly walked to Kang Xingyao's side and whispered, "If the Moon Demon Sect launches another attack, can I save you? Could you escape in the chaos?"
Xu Ning wanted to help Kang Xingyao. After all, they hadn't been transferred for three months, which ant that the other party was obviously tied up in the war with the Moon Demon Sect. The conflict was distracting them.
At that ti, a small move could easily ignite another war between the two sects. A distraction could create an opportunity.
Kang Xingyao shook his head firmly. "I can't save you, Xu Ning. Don't risk your life for . It's not worth it. Take this and read it after I leave. Goodbye, brother."
With that, Kang Xingyao handed a letter to Xu Ning, his hand steady.
