Everyone, Hold Steady. I'll Make My Move This Time!
A burst of light shot into the sky from the mine...
At this moment, countless people rushed over from all directions, and everyone was stunned when they saw the spiritual light surging out of the spirit mine!
"This is Ice Spirit Ore!"
"No... this isn't Ice Spirit Ore. Ice Spirit Ore doesn't glow this brightly... this is Extreme Ice Spirit Ore!"
"I don't want to know if it's Ice Spirit Ore or Extreme Ice Spirit Ore, I just want to know what's going on with Feng Yuzheng!"
"Friends... you might not believe it... I followed the Vast Heaven Sect the whole time they were selecting ore... Feng Yuzheng really didn't use any Mine Seeking Art or Treasure Seeking Art... it seems he really was just relying on intuition..."
"Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"
The area around the Extreme Ice Spirit Mine was now in complete chaos.
Everyone stared at them, completely bewildered...
Can anyone explain this? What the hell is going on?
You could say that the previous appearance of Fire Spirit Ore was just a lucky guess, and everyone would agree, but even a blind cat can't keep stumbling upon dead mice, right?
Not to mention them... even the Cui Clan was stunned at this moment...
This spirit mine is unknown to others, Cui Clan is certainly well-known.
This is a spirit mine that our Cui Clan abandoned... but how could such a spirit mine that we abandoned actually yield Extreme Ice Spirit Ore?
But no one blamed Cui Wuming, because this spirit mine was truly too strange... The extreme ice spirit mine was hidden beneath ordinary ores, and even if Cui Wuming's Geomancy and Spirit-Seeking Art were extremely powerful, it would be impossible for him to discover all the spirit mines hidden underneath at the same time.
How did Feng Yuzheng manage to do something that even Cui Wuming couldn't?
Chaos... The scene was now in complete disarray...
Countless people went to the spirit mine to see for themselves, and it really was an extreme ice spirit mine... a rare spirit mine, and one of the higher-grade rare spirit mines at that.
What's even more terrifying is that this spirit mine is extremely vast, and the quantity of extreme ice spirit ore is countless.
If the Vast Heaven Sect was still operating at a loss when it previously mined the Fire Spirit Mine, then with the appearance of the Extreme Ice Spirit Mine now, even if the Vast Heaven Sect doesn't make a profit, it will definitely break even!
The problem is that people aren't concerned about whether the Vast Heaven Sect will break even; they're concerned about how Feng Yuzheng actually did it.
Countless people surrounded Cui Wuming, all wanting to know from the supposedly most professional Cui Clan what exactly was going on!
Seeing everyone asking questions one after another, Cui Wuming was on the verge of tears...
Don't tell me you haven't seen this before, I, Cui Wuming, have never seen this before either... This isn't some kind of Mine Seeking Art, this is clearly cheating!
Just as Cui Wuming was looking helpless, an old steward from the Cui Clan behind Cui Wuming suddenly spoke up.
"Spirit Shepherd?"
Upon hearing these three words, everyone else was filled with question marks... but Fan Cui Wuming changed drastically on the spot!
Spirit Shepherd...
Legend has it that there are people in this world who are born with a mysterious affinity for various spiritual stones. They can easily find all kinds of treasures without any special means, relying solely on their own abilities... and even find extremely mysterious connections with mineral deposits hidden underground.
He could also use this sense to discern the quantity and even the quality of the spirit stones underground...
Therefore, they are also known as Spirit Shepherds!
However, the records about the Spirit Shepherds have always been considered by various parties to be fictional.
Because the Spirit Shepherds have never been recorded in any official history, and you can't even find their Spirit Shepherd histories.
All records of Spirit Shepherds in the world appear only in a Rogue Person the Spirit Travels in All Directions.
To be honest, Cui Wuming had also read this Rogue Person, but his first reaction was that it was purely something the Rogue Person Cui Wuming imagined.
Because you think about it... If Spirit Shepherd had ever truly existed in this world, then no matter what era he was born in, with his ability to precisely locate all spirit mines, there's no reason why he wouldn't have left a mark on history, right?
But he only appears in one travelogue; isn't that a bit too far-fetched?
But what's even more outrageous is... could Feng Yuzheng really be the legendary Spirit Shepherd?
Can he really find the existence of spirit mines without relying on any means, just by feeling? Directly create the Sensing Stream? This isn't even a question of whether it's outrageous or not!
The scene was in complete chaos, and news of the Spirit Shepherd had spread from the Cui Clan.
Although there are very few records about the Spirit Shepherds, Feng Yuzheng's behavior at this moment is very similar to that of the legendary Spirit Shepherds.
Of course, many people also expressed disbelief, after all, this is just too outrageous.
But in just two days, Feng Yuzheng proved to the world that... regardless of whether the Spirit Shepherds truly existed before... now... they really do exist!
In the past two days, Feng Yuzheng has purchased seven spirit mines.
Of these seven spirit mines, three yielded rare spirit stones with dual attributes... and the other four also yielded rare spirit stones!
And all of Feng Yuzheng's choices of spirit ores have one thing in common that is incomprehensible...
At first, Feng Yuzheng was quite cautious, comparing different types of spirit ore before making a purchase. However, as more and more top-grade spirit ore was discovered...
Feng Yuzheng was truly and completely hyped up...
There's no need for much comparison; Feng Yuzheng simply said, "I feel there's a spirit mine down here..."
And guess what... it turned out to be a rare spirit ore!
Everyone was practically green with envy as they watched Feng Yuzheng make his move after move!
This isn't Spirit Shepherd at all... isn't this just a sect ripping people off?!
The losses that Vast Heaven Sect had previously incurred were completely recovered by Feng Yuzheng in a short period of time. Now, let alone losses, the total value of the spirit mines that Feng Yuzheng purchased has reached a level that leaves all parties speechless!
Whether others were speechless or not is unknown... but as news of the Spirit Shepherd reached the Vast Heaven Sect... Chu Xinghe was utterly speechless!
Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded...
No... the Misfortune Compass was spinning perfectly fine the other day... I was even waiting to reach the Ninth Rank...
What the hell happened? Feng Yuzheng suddenly went berserk!
What? Spirit Shepherd? Are you trying to turn me Chu Xinghe, into a wooden puppet?
I was doing just fine with my losses... and then Feng Yuzheng suddenly became Spirit Shepherd without a second thought?
Did you even consider my feelings, Chu Xinghe, before doing this?
Furthermore, if you say that Feng Yuzheng was originally Spirit Shepherd, then I, Chu Xinghe, remained silent...
But look at the message Ma Liang sent back... there's not a single human word in it!
What? Senior Brother Xinghe is the only one without a problem? Senior Brother Xinghe Yuzheng's identity as Spirit Shepherd a long time ago?
If I had known Yuzheng was Spirit Shepherd, I would have welded him to the Vast Heaven Sect! I would have considered it a loss if I could even let him step out of the Vast Heaven Sect!
Mu Xiaoqi used to slack off all the time... but this time, Mu Xiaoqi stayed with Senior Brother Xinghe in the Technique Repository Tower the whole time.
Mu Xiaoqi was present during all of Senior Brother Xinghe's conversations with Feng Yuzheng...
To be honest, Mu Xiaoqi didn't understand why Senior Brother Xinghe sent Feng Yuzheng... but now Mu Xiaoqi understands...
As expected of Senior Brother Xinghe! He had already seen through everything!
Look at the calm expression on Senior Brother Xinghe's Senior Brother Xinghe... If you didn't look closely, you might think he had no will to live!
News of the Spirit Beast Continent quickly spread throughout the Vast Heaven Sect.
Upon hearing about the Spirit Shepherd, the First Elder immediately consulted Elder He, being an expert in all fields of knowledge, naturally knew about the Spirit Shepherd.
Elder He said that although he knew about the Spirit Shepherds, he had never thought that the Spirit Shepherds actually existed in this world, and he even thought that it was just a figment of his imagination.
When Xinghe sent Yuzheng there before, he even asked him about it several times... Now that Elder He thinks about it carefully, Xinghe probably already guessed that Yuzheng was Spirit Shepherd at that time.
The reason is very simple... Think about it... Feng Yuzheng's treasure-hunting ability is well-known, but Yuzheng comes from the Feng Lineage... and the Feng Lineage's most glorious period was only so-so.
However, Yuzheng's treasure-hunting abilities were clearly somewhat mismatched with the things his Lineage had inherited.
If you're saying the Feng Lineage's Treasure Seeking Art are really that powerful, then with those Treasure Seeking Art, the Feng Lineage couldn't possibly be just an ordinary small Lineage. If they really had such powerful Treasure Seeking Art... the Feng Lineage should have been wiped out long ago!
So Feng Yuzheng's Treasure Seeking Art seem to be due to a secret technique... but that's not the case. The so-called secret technique of the Feng Lineage is not actually that powerful. The real power is not the secret technique of the Feng Lineage, but Feng Yuzheng himself.
From a certain perspective, the Feng Lineage's secret techniques not only did not help Feng Yuzheng, but instead became a cage for him.
Spirit Shepherds can sense the presence of treasures... but when you ignore your senses and resort to secret arts, you won't get a more accurate answer; instead, the secret arts will lead you down the wrong path.
This is why Xinghe never told Yuzheng to rely on his Treasure Seeking Art when he sent Yuzheng out... because Xinghe knew better than anyone that Yuzheng's Treasure Seeking Art were useless.
And that phrase, "Believe in yourself, follow your instincts"... it might sound like just a word of encouragement, but in reality, that's how Spirit Shepherd should truly express themselves!
As long as you believe in yourself and follow your instincts... all those Treasure Seeking Art and Mine Seeking Art are just fluff!
Listening to Elder He's analysis, everyone in the Vast Heaven Sect nodded in agreement!
Elder He, with his unparalleled erudition, is truly extraordinary... His analysis is spot on!
The Grand Elder nodded repeatedly and praised Ma Liang.
The news had already reached back; Yuzheng and Tieniu had suffered repeated setbacks in the Spirit Beast Continent... Fortunately, Ma Liang arrived in time.
That's why Ma Liang is Xinghe's most trusted confidant; with just a little analysis, he successfully grasped the key points in Xinghe's words!
This time, Ma Liang, Yuzheng, and Tieniu went completely berserk in the Spirit Beast Continent!
Just as the entire Vast Heaven Sect was abuzz with news of Feng Yuzheng's Spirit Shepherd, Chu Xinghe stepped out of the Technique Repository Tower...
It wasn't that Chu Xinghe wanted to be whipped on the corpse; it was because Chu Xinghe knew that if he didn't act now, those three bastards would go completely berserk!
We agreed to follow our instincts, but nothing came of it.
Why has it become so prevalent to buy based on gut feeling, when resources seem plentiful?
Forget about Spirit Shepherds or anything like Spirit Shepherd, Chu Xinghe said, "Everyone better stay calm!"
I'll make my move this time!
