“This stone platform has a defensive formation set up? Why can’t I get closer?” Xia Wushang said in astonishment.

Qin Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Yes, Ninth Prince, I have already arranged a formation around this stone platform, so you cannot approach it for now.”

“What are you doing...”

The Ninth Prince was taken aback, not understanding Qin Chen’s purpose for setting up the formation.

They had seen the stone platform before, and aside from some strange patterns, there was nothing else. Was the defensive formation set up here to prevent others from attacking him?

However, just now, Qin Chen hadn’t obtained any spirit herbs. Now, everyone's attention was on the spirit herbs they had gathered. Who had the mood to trouble him?

Seeing Xia Wushang's puzzled expression, Qin Chen finally stopped arranging the formation but did not explain.

After several days of tireless effort, he had set up hundreds of sixth-grade basic formation flags around the entire stone platform. It could be said that within Qin Chen's control range, there were already countless sixth-grade formation flags densely packed together.

Meanwhile, Zuo Wei also finally stopped refining.

Upon sensing the scene around the stone platform, he was immediately taken aback.

Having been a sixth-grade formation master for so long, it was the first time he had refined so many basic formation flags at once. After several days, he felt somewhat dazed, his energy severely depleted.

Yet inside, he felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration; the unrestrained and reckless refining had provided him with an unparalleled experience.

By the end, the time it took him to refine a sixth-grade basic formation flag was even only half of what it was at the beginning.

“Incredible, just simply refining formation flags has unexpectedly improved my formation skills by leaps and bounds.”

Zuo Wei was shocked; if given time, he could absolutely break through his formation skills further.

But at this moment, he had no time to contemplate. Coming back to his senses, he immediately focused on the formation flags surrounding the stone platform.

Among the hundreds of basic formation flags, a large portion could be said to have been refined by him. He had made modifications to each flag, so even though Qin Chen had arranged them in a messy manner and concealed them,

Zuo Wei could still clearly sense the positions of these flags in his mind.

“With such a terrifying formation, this young man must have grand ambitions. I must understand the entire operation of the formation and find a way to seize control. At that time…”

Zuo Wei glanced at Qin Chen, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, then lowered his head to carefully perceive the position of each formation flag and the structure of the entire formation.

At this moment, Qin Chen had completely finished arranging the formation. He looked up at the many strong practitioners in the valley and said loudly, “Everyone, I believe you have all obtained a large amount of precious spirit herbs after coming in. You must be eager to leave now, right?”

Qin Chen’s words immediately attracted the attention of all the martial artists present.

In fact, as Qin Chen said, after a brief frenzy upon obtaining the rare spirit herbs, many people had come to their senses. The seven formation restrictions had all been broken, but they still hadn’t found the exit.

This left everyone feeling heavy-hearted.

No matter how precious the spirit herbs were, if they could not get out, it would all be in vain. Moreover, there were so many Yin Soul Beasts outside the valley; one misstep could lead to a fall here.

“What do you mean by that? Do you have a way to get out?” Zhou Xun turned around coldly and asked.

Qin Chen shot him a disdainful glance. Seeing Zhou Xun’s poor attitude, he couldn’t be bothered to respond.

“You…” Zhou Xun’s contemptuous gaze instantly made him furious, his killing intent surging.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Elder Luoying from the Xuan Yin Pavilion looking over, her voice firm: “Have you found the exit? If you have a way to let us leave, I can give you a few spirit herbs as a reward.”
