Finally, after more than an hour, he had sent all three hundred cultivators away.

It must be said that checking over three hundred pieces of storage equipment one by one is no small task.

With the support of the array, which can detect spatial fluctuations, neither the storage belt nor the storage jade hairpin can escape Ye Feng's eyes.

The pile of spiritual herbs behind them had already reached nearly ten meters high; conservatively estimated...

It's worth 70 million spirit stones, and that's based on the Han Hai Chamber of Commerce's 60% buyback price. If it were handed over to the sect, it could be exchanged for 130 million contribution points.

Unfortunately... I can't take it out with me.

Only some of the rarer and more precious medicinal herbs were stored in his system space.

As for the trading points, they have already risen to 90 million. With a little more, they can reach 100 million, which is enough to upgrade the formation to level three!

...or perhaps improve your alchemy skills to level three.

After all, the Golden Core still needs to be refined by a level three alchemist to ensure a high success rate and better quality.

Seeing that everyone in front of him had left, Ye Feng sighed with a touch of melancholy.

These are the major components: late-stage Foundation Establishment and peak Foundation Establishment.

Those middle and high school students standing at a distance constituted the larger group.

Even if Lu Jiu, who was watching him from afar, collected half of it, he'd be lucky to get twenty or thirty thousand, and those were all spirit herbs.

Only those at the later stages, peak Foundation Establishment level, would bring in so many spirit stones without fear of being robbed.

Although Ye Feng was very friendly to these people, promising to bring more spirit stones next time he came, and that he could sell them these spirit herbs at a 30% discount.

But judging from the looks on everyone's faces... whether they'd still dare to come in is another matter.

"Those who want to leave, hurry up! If you don't come over soon, I'm going to activate the formation and go to sleep. The event is over now, and I'll take 30% of the toll fees! I'll only wait one hour, and then I'll activate the formation again!"

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he began selecting herbs from the pile. Now that he had some spare time, he could refine some pills.

A pile of spiritual herbs might occupy several cubic decimeters of volume, but after being refined into spiritual medicine, it would only yield a dozen or so pieces the size of a fingertip, sometimes even fewer...

Of course, Ye Feng only selected what he needed to refine. Although his divine sense was sufficient, he had to keep it activated at all times, which consumed a lot of energy.

An hour later, a thousand people had gathered to watch the spectacle from afar, but not a single one approached or attacked.

Ye Feng immediately activated the formation, took out the alchemy furnace, and began refining medicine.

His alchemy furnace is still a top-grade magic artifact. Top-grade spiritual artifact alchemy furnaces are simply too expensive, costing ten to twenty million each.

It would be more worthwhile to wait until he reaches the Golden Core stage before planning on building a magical alchemy furnace, especially since his main source of income is no longer refining pills.

The Yunxia Market now offers 30,000 to 50,000 trading points daily, exceeding his income from refining pills.

Therefore, opening stores all over the country is the right way forward.

Ideally, we should acquire the Hanhai Chamber of Commerce directly...

Refine some to restore mana, refine some to restore spiritual consciousness, and add some temporary boosting pills.

There are also other things like Thunder Spirit Sprouts that can help with Core Formation that need to be refined, but the consumption of materials for refining Thunder Spirit Pills is too great, so it's not possible now.

Just as Ye Feng was refining the pills,

Inside the secret realm, imposing figures appeared everywhere.

After they appeared, the spirit beasts that had intended to attack and ambush them began to tremble in fear, lying prostrate on the ground, afraid of attracting the attention of the powerful beings.

Fortunately, these people had no intention of searching for spiritual herbs or killing spiritual beasts; they simply soared into the sky after descending.

After determining their location in the air, they quickly flew away on their magical artifact.

After refining seven or eight batches of pills, Ye Feng noticed that the people outside were still standing at a distance, not daring to approach. He then ignored them and began meditating to recover and rest.

Just as the meditation began, a sword aura struck, causing the formation to shake for a moment before quickly returning to normal.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and saw Luo Li standing five hundred meters away, along with a strange man holding a long sword.

"Mi Cheng of the Hunyuan Sect has come to challenge us. We invite Fellow Daoist Han Li to come out and meet us!"

Mi Cheng?

The Hunyuan Sect is known for its body-refining cultivation, but this person's ranged attack just now was comparable to one-tenth of the previous two hundred-plus people's.

While the inconsistent actions and varying effects of the ultimate moves by the previous group may have contributed to this person's prowess, it also demonstrates their skill.

It consumed over a hundred spirit stones in one go. If twenty or thirty such opponents attacked the same spot simultaneously, they might just reach the formation's maximum limit...

Damn it! If another wave of guests came, I could upgrade the formation master to level three.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng took out another storage ring and put it on his hand, then put all the piled-up spirit herbs away.

Then...they continued to set up the formation.

The previous two interlocking formations were simple, taking only about ten minutes.

But now there are three sets of formations, the complexity of which has increased more than fivefold, taking a full half hour to set up.

During this time, the guy named Mi Cheng would bombard the formation every few minutes, but Ye Feng ignored him completely.

The onlookers in the distance were all whispering among themselves.

"Who is this person? They can make the formation shake even from this distance."

"You don't recognize Mi Cheng? He's the fifth holy son of the Hunyuan Sect!"

"Holy Son!!"

Everyone's faces showed astonishment. The Holy Sons of the Upper Sects were beings capable of fighting beyond their level.

These rogue cultivators might not be able to defeat them even if they advance to the Golden Core stage.

"I didn't expect there to be a Holy Son inside the secret realm. It seems Han Li is doomed."

"How can you say for sure? Didn't you see that the Holy Son Mi is also standing 500 meters away? As long as Han Li holds the formation, the Holy Son has no way to deal with it!"

"You're wrong about that. I just heard the news from over there. The Holy Son Mi just came in. Those people were really released by Han Li. The Hunyuan Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect outside are furious. They've sent in countless Holy Sons. Can they stop one or even ten?"

Just you wait and see, Han Li is definitely dead.

Everyone's faces showed shock. That would truly mean certain death; they were all holy sons of superior sects, and two sects had come at once.

Once the formation is broken, and with two Nascent Soul elders guarding the outside, Han Li will have nowhere to go in and will die if he tries to leave.

There is absolutely no chance of survival!

However, everyone was also somewhat relieved, as it turned out that those people had indeed been released earlier.

From this perspective, Han Li is indeed trustworthy, and the toll is not high, only 30%, which is much more reasonable than the previous robbery at the gate.

"combine!"

Ye Feng made hand seals, and the color of the array changed, eventually turning into a surface with some brown.

Now, standing outside are not just Mi Cheng and Luo Li anymore.

There was also a man and a woman, both wielding top-grade spiritual artifacts, their weapons gleaming brightly.

On Zhai Ying's side, there were also three people standing.

The previously arrogant and cunning Zhai Ying stood bowing behind the three of them, like a well-behaved child.

Three demon princes, two holy princes, and one holy maiden!

Six Golden Core cultivators!
