Chen Changqing opened his eyes warily.
Outside the stone door, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu added, "Tonight, you'll stay in the master bedroom. The three of us will accompany you in studying the Human King Heaven-Suppressing Seal."
Chen Changqing did not open the door.
"Cultivation requires peace and quiet."
"You should go back and rest."
Outside the stone door, silence fell for a moment.
Then Liu Ruyan's voice rang out.
"Hand over the control token for the cave abode's formation."
"Why?"
"Junior Sister Hua Yao needs to set up a spirit-gathering alchemy formation. Xiaoyu needs to draw in Imperial Dragon Qi, and I need to adjust the mountain-protecting sword formation."
"The cultivation chamber won't be affected."
Chen Changqing refused outright.
Silence fell outside again.
Just as he was about to continue checking the AFK interface, several formation patterns suddenly lit up across the stone door's surface.
Right after that, the entire cultivation chamber gave a slight tremor.
Chen Changqing's expression changed.
"What are you doing?"
Hua Yao answered calmly.
"Looking for the formation's central hub."
"Don't touch anything carelessly!"
Chen Changqing rose and opened the stone door.
The three women were standing outside.
Hua Yao held a Spirit-Seeking Needle in her hand.
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu cradled the Human King Token.
Liu Ruyan, meanwhile, held the secondary token for Evergreen Peak's mountain-protecting formation.
With the three treasures operating at once, thirty percent of the cave abode's restrictions had already been dismantled.
Chen Changqing hurriedly took out the control token and stabilized the formation again.
"This is my cave abode!"
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu nodded.
"Now it's our residence too."
"When did I agree to that?"
"You didn't object just now."
"I was going inside for secluded cultivation!"
Liu Ruyan took the control token, then casually tucked it into her sleeve.
"All right, the formation issue is settled."
