Chapter 80: Spirit Vein Formation

Chapter 80: Spirit Vein Formation

After the complete stabilization of Deep Earth Spirit General's divine body, Meng Zhang summoned all the disciples for a meeting in the sect's main hall. Besides addressing sect affairs, Meng Zhang introduced Deep Earth to everyone. Concealing Deep Earth Spirit General's true identity, he only stated that he was the new guardian appointed by Taiyi Sect. From then on, the guardian Deep Earth became an integral part of Taiyi Sect, with the same status and treatment as the elders.

As for Deep Earth's specific duties, he would be dispatched wherever his services were needed. According to Deep Earth Spirit General, even a Gold Core Daoist Master would find it challenging to discern the true nature of his Guardian Spirit General without a special Divine Ability. In the eyes of most cultivators, he was just an ordinary cultivator.

Having served as the Taiyi Sect Master for some time, Meng Zhang had gradually established his authority within the sect. Since he didn't disclose Deep Earth Spirit General's origins, nobody pressed for further information. The members of the sect considered Deep Earth as a Refining Qi completion stage cultivator.

Regardless, the addition of a Refining Qi completion cultivator to the sect was cause for celebration. During the meeting, Tian Zhen, who was in charge of the sect's mundane affairs, reported the recent changes in Sweetwater Oasis and the consumption of lower-grade spirit stones required to maintain the formation.

After the meeting dispersed, Deep Earth Spirit General approached Meng Zhang privately. It turned out that Deep Earth Spirit General not only naturally excelled in various earth-based spells but also possessed the skills of a Geomancer. Even though his cultivation base hadn't fully recovered, most of these abilities remained intact.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

A Geomancer was a profession proficient in various arts such as feng shui, formations, and divination within the cultivation world. They could utilize the power of the earth to alter the land and were considered a high-level comprehensive occupation, difficult to cultivate, yet indispensable.

Geomancers could locate and survey mines, estimate reserves, and use feng shui and divination to find spirit veins and sense earth energies. Advanced Geomancers could even manipulate and cultivate new spirit veins, making them a rare sight in the cultivation world, usually available only to major powers. Even Flying Swan Sect had only a few low-ranking Geomancers, and these individuals were highly treasured.

From this point on, Meng Zhang truly delved into the practice of the "Sun-Moon Wheel Turning Sutra." Meanwhile, under the careful attention of Spirit General Deep Earth, the spirit vein in Sweetwater Oasis fully formed.

Originally, Meng Zhang estimated that it would take at least three to five years for the spirit vein to form. However, with Deep Earth Spirit General's help, this process was significantly shortened, showcasing the value of a Geomancer.

After its formation, the spirit vein still needed extended nurturing before it could completely stabilize. Deep Earth Spirit General, being capable, took charge of all tasks related to the nascent spirit vein. This newly formed spirit vein was of First Rank middle grade.

Once the spirit vein was formed, not only did the oasis's spiritual energy become abundant, but the oasis's territory also expanded significantly. After a short time, when the spirit vein stabilized, Deep Earth Spirit General rearranged the First Rank Formation earth-wood great formation, making it depend on the spirit vein and no longer consuming lower-grade spirit stones.

Finally, Taiyi Sect was free from the burden of consuming vast quantities of spirit stones. The spiritual energy of the spirit vein was now confined to a certain area, exclusively available for Taiyi Sect's disciples to absorb. Any surplus spiritual energy accumulated in specific regions.

When the spiritual energy reached the required concentration, Deep Earth Spirit General approached Meng Zhang and proposed to open a spirit field within the oasis. While it was a beneficial endeavor, it required significant resources, imposing a heavy burden on Taiyi Sect.

After thinking for a while, Meng Zhang recalled that Deep Earth Spirit General was proficient in the art of Earth Escapement. This sparked an idea, and secretly, he left Taiyi Sect, bringing Deep Earth along to the area where the scarlet copper mine was located.
