Earth Sha Technique, Earth Veins Return to Their Places!
The Purple Peak Sect is actually closer to Martial Emperor City than to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
The moment Zheng Yu announced his intention to acquire spirit mines in Martial Emperor City, Xue Zifeng had already rushed Martial Emperor City to prepare to sell his own spirit mines.
However, Xue Zifeng's misfortune lay in the fact that he had a grudge against Hundred Insects Valley, and the two sides had previously engaged in various duels and mutual slander.
This wouldn't normally be a problem; after all, it's quite normal for sects to fight each other.
Unfortunately, their misfortune stemmed from this conflict. During their previous conflict with the Purple Peak Sect, Hundred Insects Valley spread rumors that the Purple Peak Sect's spirit mines had been depleted.
Actually, this kind of rumor-mongering is nothing special. Many factions will spread rumors about the other side's resources being depleted during their struggles. This is done to make it difficult for the sect to recruit disciples.
After all, no newcomer would want to easily choose a sect with depleted resources!
What? You like starting in hell, huh...?
Other disciples receive resources and begin their cultivation as soon as they enter the sect, while you start thinking about how to live a life of poverty the moment you enter?
Therefore, such rumors can be quite damaging.
To be honest, if this kind of rumor were to happen in the past, it might have been quite damaging. But for the Purple Peak Sect, simply displaying their own resources is basically enough to dispel the rumor. At worst, they could just open up their spirit mines for people to visit.
It's not a big deal.
Unfortunately, the timing of the rumors spread by Hundred Insects Valley was just too coincidental.
The Hundred Insects Valley had just started spreading rumors when the spirit mines began to lose their spiritual power. Before the Purple Peak Sect could even refute the rumors, all the spirit mines in the world had lost their Spirit Power.
So at this point, it's really hard to be sure whether the Purple Peak Sect's spirit mine has lost its spirit like everyone else, or whether it has become useless for some other reason.
The abandonment of spirit mines actually happens every year in the Three Continents.
So now Xue Zifeng is so disgusted he's cried, and he can't explain himself anymore.
When Xue Zifeng found Zheng Yu already knew about the conflict between the Purple Peak Sect and Hundred Insects Valley, Zheng Yu was naturally familiar with the tactics of spreading rumors.
The problem is that this is too awkward now. If this had happened before, Zheng Yu wouldn't have needed to arrange for anyone to verify it.
What's wrong with the Purple Peak Sect? They dare to mess with Martial Emperor City. Whether Hundred Insects Valley will fight them or not is unknown, but if Xue Zifeng dares to mess with Zheng Yu can arrange for someone to wipe out the Purple Peak Sect in no time.
But now, Zheng Yu is in a dilemma. After all, even if I trust Xue Zifeng, there's no way to prove it now.
What if the rumors from the Hundred Insects Valley are just false?
When the five years are up, your spirit mine will still be ruined. Do you think it was ruined naturally or because it lost its spirit essence?
That's hard to explain!
Despite Xue Zifeng's repeated pleading and pleas, Zheng Yu ultimately refused Xue Zifeng. After all, even if Zheng Yu believed Xue Zifeng, the elders of Martial Emperor City wouldn't trust him for safety reasons.
So, having nowhere else to turn, Xue Zifeng had no choice but to come to the Northern Branch. He had some connections with Sima Bian and now wanted to ask Sima Bian for help.
The problem is, no matter how good Sima Bian's relationship with Xue Zifeng is, Sima Bian wouldn't dare to accept Xue Zifeng's spirit ore at this time.
The affairs of your Purple Peak Sect have long been known to everyone. In addition, you were rejected by the Martial Emperor City. Now it feels like the truth has been confirmed. Under these circumstances, if Sima Bian knows that he really wants to take over the spirit mine of the Purple Peak Sect, he probably won't be able to get Qin Xiangqian!
Don't be fooled by how people still address Qin Xiangqian as "Old Qin Old Qin" now; he used to be the vice president, and Qin Xiangqian were all branch presidents, but your status wasn't that much different from the vice president's.
But now Old Qin is the official president. Although Sima Bian and the others are vice presidents, etiquette cannot be disregarded. You can make trouble with Old Qin in private, and Old Qin won't mind.
However, when it comes to the interests of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Old Qin is absolutely impartial.
If we really take over the spirit mine of the Purple Peak Sect now, Old Qin will probably come to the Northern Branch tomorrow to hold himself, the vice president, accountable.
What? Martial Emperor City doesn't want it, but our Vast Heaven Holy Land does? You, Sima Bian, are you disregarding the Holy Land's interests because of your relationship with Xue Zifeng?
So Sima Bian was really in a dilemma. He knew Xue Zifeng well; after all, they were friends when they were young. Xue Zifeng shouldn't lie, but when such a big interest was involved, no one could guarantee that Xue Zifeng wouldn't lie.
Even knowing that Xue Zifeng was in dire straits, Sima Bian still couldn't help him.
Just as Sima Bian was considering whether to report to his superiors and gauge Old Qin's attitude, the sickly, handsome Gui Li spoke up weakly from the side, "Wouldn't it be clear whether it's true or false if the spirit mine recovered? That's not difficult..."
Good heavens, upon hearing Gui Li's words, Sima Bian and Xue Zifeng were completely dumbfounded...
Their first thought was, "Gui Li, do you even want to hear if you're speaking human language?"
What do you mean by letting the spirit ore recover to determine if it's real or fake?
Isn't the main problem simply that the spirit ore can't be restored?
If this spirit mine could be restored, would we still need to discuss this issue now?
At this moment, Xue Zifeng first glanced at Gui Li, and then at Sima Bian. Sima Bian understood the meaning in Xue Zifeng's eyes.
Xue Zifeng seemed to be saying, "Brother Sima... where did this idiot come from?"
Clearly, Xue Zifeng now sees Gui Li as a fool!
Sima Bian was also helpless.
"Gui Li, things aren't as simple as you think. The earth's veins have shifted, and all the spirit mines have lost their spiritual energy. Even with the Heart of the Earth, it will take at least five years to restore them... Also, Sect Master Xue, this is Gui Li. He was injured in the head a few days ago and has lost some of his memory. He might not remember the spirit mines losing their spiritual energy."
After Sima Bian's explanation, Xue Zifeng nodded in agreement. So, he had amnesia... then it was normal that he didn't remember.
Just as Sima Bian was about to arrange for someone to take Gui Li rest, Gui Li spoke up, "Vice President Sima, although I have amnesia and don't quite remember the spirit ore's loss of spirit and the changes in the earth's veins... the changes in the earth's veins aren't such a big deal... as long as the changes in the earth's veins aren't too significant, we can Earth Sha Technique to restore the earth's veins to their original positions, and the loss of spirit ore's spirit will be resolved, right?"
Sima Bian: "???"
Xue Zifeng: "???"
Damn... Sima Bian looked completely bewildered at this moment...
What kind of Earth Sha Technique?
What is the repositioning of the earth's veins?
Sima Bian admitted that he couldn't understand this at all!
Sima Bian said that he had also traveled all over the country for many years and was an expert in all kinds of knowledge. He said he was far from being an expert in all kinds of knowledge, but he could at least be considered knowledgeable.
He could understand every single word Gui Li was saying, but he just couldn't understand them when they were put together.
First, what is the Earth Sha Technique?
Furthermore, the earth's veins returning to their proper places? How can that be done? Even the White Tiger Holy Venerable and the entire Cui Clan, using the Heart of the Earth, couldn't accomplish this. Can Gui Li really do it?
Therefore, Sima Bian had only one thought at this moment: Gui Li must have misread his memories.
The problem is that Gui Li's memory isn't actually confused. Gui Li's memories are currently incomplete, but some things don't matter even if you don't remember them. The Earth Sha Evil Spirits are Spirit of the Earth and control the power of the earth's veins.
This can be described as an innate ability, something ingrained in Gui Li's very being, and it has little to do with memory!
Gui Li didn't know what Sima Bian was thinking at this moment, but she knew that these past few days at the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, whether it was Sima Bian or anyone else, they had treated her exceptionally well.
Everyone was wholeheartedly trying to help him recover... Some even went so far as to find various folk remedies to see if they could help him regain his memory.
Gui Li hadn't been idle these past few days. Although he had lost his memory, Gui Li still managed to find out some information about the Vast Heaven Holy Land. The various acts of benevolence and righteousness that the Vast Heaven Holy Land had done in the past were truly awe-inspiring to Gui Li!
Gui Li is such a benevolent place; no wonder my only remaining memory of Gui Li is joining the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
My Gui Li was definitely because I was moved by the Vast Heaven Holy Land; I am truly on the same side as the Vast Heaven Holy Land!
But knowing that he had lost so many memories, was Gui Li still qualified to join the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
The Vast Heaven Holy Land has extremely strict recruitment standards; I, Gui Li, can't just join whenever I want, can I?
Would Chu Xinghe even consider me?
Do I need some kind of pledge of allegiance or something similar to Gui Li?
Today, Gui Li says he thinks he's found an opportunity...
Although I don't know the specifics of Gui Li's Earth Sha Technique, I seem to be a professional when it comes to modifying earth veins...
And it seems my magical mask is even more powerful in this area...
So, isn't my Gui Li essentially an opportunity to offer myself as a pledge of allegiance?
With this pledge of allegiance in hand, my Gui Li the Vast Heaven Holy Land is just around the corner!
"Gui Li, are you sure you're not talking nonsense? This is no joke..." Sima Bian looked at the resolute Gui Li, and was now a little confused...
After all, what Gui Li said was truly outrageous!
"Cough cough cough... We'll find out if it's true or not with a test..." The yandere pretty boy coughed as he spoke with a determined look on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes, what Brother Gui Li said makes sense. Why don't we give it a try and see..." Although Xue Zifeng felt that what Gui Li was saying was a bit outrageous, he was really desperate, so he insisted on giving it a try!
Upon hearing Xue Zifeng's agreement, Sima Bian naturally didn't say anything more...
Sima Bian then asked Gui Li what she needed, Gui Li shook her head, indicating that she didn't need anything.
After confirming all this, Sima Bian immediately arranged for a teleportation array to be set up for the Purple Peak Sect.
As the teleportation array flashed, Gui Li, along with Sima Bian and Xue Zifeng, arrived at the Purple Peak Sect.
Led by Xue Zifeng, Gui Li also arrived at the spirit mine of the Purple Peak Sect.
Standing here at the Purple Peak Sect Spirit Mine, now an abandoned mine due to the loss of its spiritual energy, Gui Li glanced at it briefly and said, "This spirit mine isn't truly abandoned; it's just that the earth's veins have shifted, causing it to lose its spiritual energy!"
Upon hearing Gui Li's words, Xue Zifeng was filled with excitement!
Just as Sima Bian was about to ask Gui Li how he knew this, Gui Li said, "By repositioning the displaced ley lines back to their original locations in this area, the spirit mines will naturally recover. You see... it's very simple..."
As soon as Gui Li finished speaking, the Evil God Mask hanging from his waist flew up and put on Gui Li's face. Gui Li's whole body flashed with earthy yellow light, and the next moment a phantom with a blue face and fangs burrowed into the ground. As the phantom with a blue face and fangs burrowed into the ground, the entire ground of the Purple Peak Sect began to tremble wildly in an instant!
The terrifying power of the earth's veins began to converge on the location of the Purple Peak Sect from all directions, and the spirit stones that had previously completely lost their Spirit Power began to regain their radiance as the earth's veins returned to their proper positions...
