Chapter 338: Extracting the Spirit Vein
As the Flying Boat arrived at Heishi Valley, they witnessed Yang Tiezhu leading nine team members in a fierce battle against a horde of creatures. They moved through the beasts like they were in an uninhabited realm, filled with excitement.
Yang Tiezhu brandished a massive wolf-toothed club, clearing a path ahead, and no Demonic Beast they encountered could stand against her.
The other team members followed closely, summoning Flying Swords that sliced through any Demonic Beast that dared to approach.
Yang Tiezhu and her team quickly broke free from the encirclement, and she turned back towards the horde.
With the remaining number of Demonic Beasts dwindling, the Flying Boat descended rapidly, joining the massacre.
In just over a quarter of an hour, they had slaughtered all the Demonic Beasts in the valley, not letting a single one escape.
Yang Tiezhu stood atop a pile of Demonic Beast corpses, her blood-spattered forehead casually wiped with the back of her hand, looking quite heroic.
"Lil' sis, you're amazing!" exclaimed Ling Xue, running over with admiration in her eyes.
"Ah, it's just okay. It's my first time leading a team, so I lack experience. I'll improve in the future," Yang Tiezhu modestly replied with a hint of pride on her baby face.
"Do you even realize how poorly you did? You were supposed to lure the Demons here, but you got carried away with the killing! Deducting all your contributions this time, and you'll also be tasked with cleaning the houses where forty people stayed, without anyone's help," scolded Wen Lan, wearing a stern expression.
Although Yang Tiezhu had shown great bravery, individual valor wouldn't work in large-scale battles.
Yang Tiezhu stuck out her tongue in resignation and headed towards the relatively intact buildings within the valley.
The original structures in Heishi Valley had been thoroughly ravaged by the Demonic Beasts. Cleaning them up would be a time-consuming task even for one person.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong ventured into the heart of the valley where the Spirit Qi was thickest. The main branch of the medium-sized Spirit Vein lay here.
He followed the main branch, identifying and marking its tributaries along the way.
There were various methods for relocating a Spirit Vein, each with its pros and cons. The method taught by Sloppy Daoist Master to Wang Hong was a relatively simple one.
However, during the relocation process, a significant amount of Spirit Qi would dissipate, and by the time the entire Spirit Vein was moved, it might be reduced to only half its original strength.
There was said to be another method involving the use of formations to draw the Spirit Vein along the Earth's meridians, which could almost entirely transport it intact to another location. But this method required a significant amount of materials, the setup of several Tier Three or higher formations, and was time-consuming.
After embedding hundreds of Runes, the segment had shrunk to the size of a chicken egg.
Wang Hong used his Spiritual Power to draw the egg-sized segment out from the ground, catching it in his hand.
This pearl-like object, condensed from a section of the Spirit Vein, was milky white, hard to the touch, and emitted a strong aura of Spirit Qi.
The Spiritual Energy on the pearl would constantly seep out, so Wang Hong placed it in a Jade Box and affixed Talismans to prevent further energy loss.
However, even with these precautions, complete preservation of the Spiritual Energy was impossible. It needed to be promptly reintroduced into the earth to nurture it.
The segment Wang Hong had just collected was equivalent to a tiny Spirit Vein.
To cultivate a small Spirit Vein, one needed a hundred of these segments, and to nurture a medium-sized Spirit Vein, a hundred small ones were required.
This meant that to transfer this medium-sized Spirit Vein to his Mountain Valley, he would need to perform at least ten thousand operations like the one he just completed.
He had spent three to four days collecting just this one segment of the tiny Spirit Vein. To complete ten thousand would take over a hundred years.
This was just considering the time and material consumption. For instance, he had already used an entire pound of Tier Two Spirit Wine just now, which would require over ten thousand pounds to complete the entire task.
No wonder Sloppy Old Daoist had described this technique as somewhat redundant.
However, for others, this task would indeed be extremely challenging, but for Wang Hong, the difficulty was not particularly significant.
He had ample resources and manpower at his disposal, with over a hundred Foundation Building cultivators under his command, and the Spirit Wine stored in his Space formed several mountains.
With so much Spirit Wine, even if he turned into a wine aficionado, he would never finish it all in his lifetime because the Spirit Wine in his Space was still continuously increasing.
Especially with the expansion of his Space and the accelerated passage of time inside, the rate at which the Spiritual Objects matured had also increased.
He stored away the inexhaustible Spiritual Objects and used most of them to brew Spirit Wine.
