Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 109: Spiritual Eye

This spirit vein was originally buried deep underground, so its spiritual energy was also locked underground, and no one had discovered any clues until recently.

The recent earthquake may have shaken the surrounding earth veins, causing this spirit vein to rise closer to the surface. Consequently, the trapped spiritual energy beneath the ground leaked out at this time.

Thinking about the earthquake, Meng Zhang felt a bit guilty. If it weren't for his connection with Deep EarthSpirit General and their opening of the Formation gate, that earthquake probably wouldn't have happened.

Looking at it this way, the appearance of this spirit vein seems to be related to him. It's quite a coincidence.

The spirit vein that Deep EarthSpirit General initially discovered disappeared with the Formation. Yet, here he was, discovering a completely new spirit vein. It seemed like a case of losing one thing but gaining another. Was this heaven's compensation for him?

The saying "heaven gives not what is not taken" rang in his mind. Since this spirit vein was fated to be connected to him, he should firmly occupy it.

Meng Zhang surveyed his surroundings; the location was indeed a bit awkward.

If the Meng family were still around, this spirit vein would belong to them, and there would likely be little dispute.

However, the Meng family was no longer present, and the land that used to belong to them had become a buffer zone between Taiyi Sect and Zhao Family.

A spirit vein was a strategic treasure, and Zhao Family would definitely not sit idly by while Taiyi Sect took it.

It seemed that a direct conflict between Taiyi Sect and Zhao Family was unavoidable.

For now, all Meng Zhang could do was to delay the exposure of this spirit vein for as long as possible, dragging it out as much as he could.

Meng Zhang carefully inspected his surroundings again, even delving deep underground to sense the density of spiritual energy.

This was a First Rank high-grade spirit vein, and its distribution was extensive. With proper management, he could develop several dozen acres of spirit fields.

After conducting his survey, Meng Zhang chose a location and once again went underground.

After a while, he arrived at a special place.

The density of spiritual energy here was much higher than in other areas, and the rich spiritual energy seemed almost tangible.

This was the core of the spirit vein, the location of the spiritual eye.

Most newly formed spirit veins' spiritual eyes, apart from having slightly denser spiritual energy, didn't possess any other special features. For example, the spirit vein at Sweetwater Oasis was like that.

The spirit vein at Taiyi Sect's mountain gate, although not long in existence, had some unique qualities within its spiritual eye.

It had a special nourishing effect that could nurture the soul and enrich the spirit.

The spirit vein in front of him was not newly formed; it had been underground for who knows how many years before surfacing. In spirit veins that had existed for a longer time, there were often associated spiritual creatures within the spiritual eye.

As Meng Zhang entered the location of the spiritual eye, he immediately saw the associated spiritual creature inside. It turned out to be the Divine Ability's peculiar spiritual creature, the Black Oil Spirit Earth.

Although the Black Oil Spirit Earth was a spirit creature without a grade, its effect surpassed many Yellow-ranked spiritual creatures.

The Black Oil Spirit Earth was a type of soil rich in spiritual energy and special components, named for its smooth and shiny texture.

Its main function was to replenish the earth's strength within the spirit field.

Previously, Taiyi Sect's spirit fields mainly cultivated spirit grain, not only because it required the lowest level of Spirit Plant Technique, but also because the spirit fields lacked sufficient accumulation of earth's strength. To conserve this strength and prevent the spirit fields from deteriorating, they didn't dare to plant a large number of spirit flowers and grasses that consumed the earth's strength.

Looking at the large pile of Black Oil Spirit Earth on the ground, he wondered how many years of accumulation it took to gather such a quantity.

This only strengthened Meng Zhang's determination to occupy this spirit vein. Even if he had to go to war with Zhao Family for it, he wouldn't hesitate.

Taiyi Sect's Daoist Clear Spirit had already improved in Spirit Plant Technique, with the help of the Wang father and son. With a large quantity of Black Oil Spirit Earth, they could cultivate more profitable spirit flowers and grasses.

Meng Zhang spent some time wandering around the area. At the current rate of spiritual energy leakage, it would take a long time before any anomalies appeared in the vicinity.

He filled all his storage bags with as much Black Oil Spirit Earth as he could carry before leaving the place.

Although it was only a First Rank spirit vein, the rate at which the Black Oil Spirit Earth was produced was not slow.

Riding his wind chasing horse, Meng Zhang hurriedly returned to Taiyi Sect. After handing over all the Black Oil Spirit Earth to Daoist Clear Spirit, he left again and rushed to Singing Sand City.

Despite carefully searching in Singing Sand City, he couldn't find the Formation he desired.

Unable to leave, Meng Zhang had to ask Shi Weiming to run to Firewell Market and buy a set of First Rank high-grade protective Formation for him.

Next, Meng Zhang became a porter, repeatedly transporting the Black Oil Spirit Earth from the newly discovered spirit vein back to Taiyi Sect.

Years ago, he brought back a batch of white hidden earth crystals from the abandoned mine occupied by Ghost Path cultivators. He had the disciples polish them and sold them at Flying Swan Building, increasing the sect's and the disciples' income.

Now, all those white hidden earth crystals had been polished and sold.

Except for Tian Li, most of the disciples in the sect had relatively little to do.

With this batch of Black Oil Spirit Earth, most of the disciples were mobilized to help Daoist Clear Spirit and others reorganize the spirit fields.

In less than half a month, Shi Weiming brought a set of excellent protective Formation - the Chaotic Stone Sand Formation, a First Rank high-grade Formation. Apart from its conventional functions of sealing and gathering spiritual energy, it had quite good defensive power and a certain counterattack capability.

Once the Formation was obtained, Meng Zhang immediately summoned Wen Qiansun and together they went to the newly discovered spirit vein.

In just half a month, the spiritual energy leakage had become very severe. Due to the large amount of spiritual energy seeping out, the originally cold and desolate area now displayed hints of greenery. The surrounding desert was slowly and steadfastly transforming into an oasis.

Wen Qiansun had been studying Formation for a long time, and Meng Zhang took this opportunity to test his practical abilities.

The two clearly divided their roles and jointly arranged the First Rank high-grade Chaotic Stone Sand Formation.

They chose several hills to place the formation discs, conveniently encompassing the entire valley within the Formation's range.

Although Wen Qiansun only had a Cultivation Base of Refining Qi Triple, his speed in setting up the Formation was no slower than Meng Zhang's.

In the end, Wen Qiansun even completed his work before Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang only had a slight understanding of Formation; his talent in this area was not particularly strong.

However, it was different for Wen Qiansun, who dedicated all his time and energy to studying Formation.

His talent in Formation was extremely high, and combined with his diligence, he had already surpassed many Formation Master apprentices.

Wen Qiansun's arrangements were flawless, whereas Meng Zhang had one or two imperfections.

After correcting these shortcomings, Wen Qiansun activated the Formation.

The Formation successfully connected with the spirit vein, absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy.
