This truly caught Ming Yao by surprise.

In his view, trading surplus Earth's Breath Soil for Void Crystal Coins while securing his promise to set up a Formation was an exceptionally worthwhile deal.

Ming Yao sighed softly and pointed at the Formation diagram overhead. "Fine. Since you three are unwilling to cooperate, so be it.
