We think Senior Brother is lying, but we have no proof

Jiang Beiran laughed heartily after choosing three, saying, "Fang Shimei, with your courage, you want to uphold justice? Hahaha."

Fang Qiuyue puffed out her cheeks in anger after hearing this. She wiped away her tears forcefully and continued searching for a path without speaking.

However, with every blade of grass she pulled, she imagined it was Jiang Beiran's hair in her mind.

'Serves you right for laughing at me! Serves you right for laughing at me!'

After Fang Qiuyue walked away, Jiang Beiran squatted down and forcefully tipped the Bronze Toad upside down.

"Clang" "Clang"...

Five copper coins were poured out one by one from the "toad's belly."

Not far away, Fang Qiuyue's body trembled again when she heard the sound, but she held back from crying out, only silently reciting incantations she had learned from somewhere.

Meanwhile, Jiang Beiran put the Bronze Toad aside and examined the five copper coins, murmuring, "Xu, Geng, Gui, Du, Si... Heh, not much skill, but quite greedy."

He chuckled inwardly, then took out a compass from his Universe Ring and began to deduce.

On the other side, Yu Guishui, who was diligently searching for a way out, chose to keep walking forward. But as she walked, she found her third sister appearing ahead of her.

"Huh? Miaomiao? Why are you here?" Yu Guishui asked in surprise.

Yu Guimiao was also startled at the same time and said, "I was just carefully walking forward, and then..."

"Sister? Miaomiao!?" As Yu Guimiao spoke, Yu Guizhui also arrived beside them, her face full of astonishment. "I clearly chose a different direction to search than you two, how could..."

Yu Guishui became nervous upon hearing this. "What kind of formation is this? I..."

As she spoke, Yu Guishui suddenly felt dizzy and rubbed her temples. "I... I suddenly feel so dizzy."

Yu Guizhui also suddenly felt a jolt of disorientation. Her sister seemed to have turned into two.

"Sis... Sister, I think I'm feeling a bit dizzy too. Help... help me..."

Feeling her eyelids grow heavier, Yu Guizhui wanted to shout in fear but found she couldn't make a sound. She could only watch helplessly as boundless darkness surged towards her, engulfing her...

"Plop..."

Hearing the sound of someone falling, Jiang Beiran, who was shaking his compass, glanced over.

'Although this formation is a mess, it seems to be too powerful for these junior sisters whose cultivation isn't high enough.'

"Merit Golden Light Slightly Opens, Dark Hua Pool Worldly Fragrance, Spirit Treasure Immeasurable Light Illuminates!"

As Jiang Beiran softly chanted, the compass in his hand trembled slightly, and three Dunjia Symbols lit up simultaneously.

'Eight Palaces Sky Impact Star...'

In Jiang Beiran's eyes, the surrounding forest had vanished, replaced by a Minor Sixfold Mind-Seizing Formation emitting a purple glow.

After observing for a moment, Jiang Beiran first walked three steps towards the Jing Position and stomped down forcefully. Then, he took another step towards the Jing Position and thrust a palm forward...

With each movement Jiang Beiran made, the purple light from the Minor Sixfold Mind-Seizing Formation grew dimmer, eventually dissipating completely.

After breaking the formation, Jiang Beiran walked backward six steps, then crouched down and plunged his hand into the soil.

Oh? This thief is quite wealthy.

Jiang Beiran sighed as he pulled a Yellow Gold Spirit Stone from the earth.

Tsk, although it's only a Low Grade Gold Spirit Stone, it's still not something an ordinary person could afford. They couldn't even sell their children for this much... This formation setter is rather interesting.

If gold, silver, and copper coins were the primary currency in the ordinary world, then for cultivators, spirit stones were the most important currency.

The reason spirit stones became the main currency was basically the same as copper coins: they possessed inherent value.

Spirit stones were Spirit Qi Crystals formed by the convergence of the Essence of Heaven and Earth.

Profound Cultivators needed them for cultivation, for running formations, and even for driving certain High-Quality magic treasures.

It could be said that spirit stones were intrinsically linked to everything in the Profound Cultivation world, making them the hardest of hard currencies.

Tossing the Low Grade Gold Spirit Stone into his Universe Ring, Jiang Beiran slowly spread out his Spiritual power. He found that no one was rushing over, but he also discovered that his four junior sisters had collapsed, with only Liu Zijin still struggling.

Oh? Liu Zijin hasn't learned any methods to counter formations, yet she's managed to hold on this long through sheer willpower. Could she have the Innate Three Yang Body? The Returning Heart Sect has struck gold this time.

He put the compass and the Bronze Toad back into his Universe Ring and stepped forward, pulling out a Storax Pill and handing it to the sweat-drenched Liu Zijin. "Eat this."

To Liu Zijin, who was on the verge of collapse, Jiang Beiran's voice was like a thunderclap, jolting her Three Souls and Seven Spirits back from the brink of departure.

"Senior Brother!?" Liu Zijin's head snapped around, her face filled with panic.

"It's alright, eat quickly."

Without asking why the formation had suddenly disappeared, Liu Zijin took the Storax Pill from Jiang Beiran and swallowed it in one gulp.

Instantly, her nearly dissipated Spiritual power condensed, and her gaze cleared.

"You rest for a while, I'll go wake up the other junior sisters," Jiang Beiran said, walking towards the Yu Family Three Sisters.

Watching Jiang Beiran's retreating back, Liu Zijin wanted to say something, but her mouth opened and closed a few times before she finally remained silent. She sat down cross-legged and began circulating the Returning Heart Skill.

Arriving at the spot where the Yu Family Three Sisters had fallen, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but freeze.

No way... do identical triplets even fall in the same pose?

Looking at the three sisters in identical poses, Jiang Beiran chuckled lightly. He then took out a Jade Bottle from his Universe Ring and placed it in front of the leftmost Yu Shimei's nose.

"Mmm..."

As a floral scent entered her nose, Yu Guishui slowly woke up, then suddenly sat up straight and looked around.

"Sen... Senior Brother?"

"En, it's me. Here, take this medicine." Jiang Beiran handed the Storax Pill to Yu Guishui.

"Senior Brother... what happened just now?"

"Later, take the medicine first."

"Yes..." Yu Guishui nodded and swallowed the Storax Pill.

Next, Jiang Beiran woke up the other junior sisters in the same way and gathered them together.

The effect of the Storax Pill was to refresh the mind. In less than A Cup of Tea, the five junior sisters had completely recovered their spirits.

"Report!"

Seeing one Yu Shimei raise her hand, Jiang Beiran was very satisfied. Even in this situation, she hadn't forgotten to call out "Report." It seemed his training was successful.

"Speak."

"Was it Senior Brother who broke the formation?"

Jiang Beiran shook his head after hearing this. "I said I don't know formations. I guess this formation couldn't trap so many people, so it disintegrated on its own."

After hearing this, the five junior sisters simultaneously showed a look that said, "Are you looking down on our intelligence?" But no one pressed further, because they knew it would only displease Senior Brother.
