The next morning, everyone arrived, Jiang Ping'an released the treasure ship, let Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks board the ship, and then drove the treasure ship away from the Mystic Weight Sect, heading for Hezhou Changle County Ten Mile Gobi Beach.
One day later, the treasure ship arrived at Ten Mile Gobi Beach.
"It's right here, go down." Jiang Ping'an said to Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks.
Although Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks were a little confused, they all flew out of the treasure ship and landed on the ground without saying a word.
Jiang Ping'an also put away the treasure ship and landed in front of Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks.
"There are a lot of Killing Intent left in this dead land. You use Sha-Drawing Thunder-Refining Array to draw out the Killing Intent from the ground and refine it into Sha Thunder Orb." Jiang Ping'an ordered, "Most of these Killing Intent are leftover from Nascent Soul Dao Lord's battle. You must pay careful attention."
"Do you understand?"
Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks responded in unison, "I understand!"
"Then let's begin." Jiang Ping'an announced.
Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks immediately flew away to find the place where Killing Intent remained.
Jiang Ping'an himself also found a place where Killing Intent was left, planted Sha-Drawing Thunder-Refining Array, began to draw out the Killing Intent in the ground, and refined it into Sha Gathering Orb.
Although you can spend spiritual stones to ask others to help you earn merit, you still have to do it yourself, otherwise the merit you receive may be compromised.
Driven by the spirit stone, everyone worked hard to pull out the remaining Killing Intent from the ground.
After more than ten days, all the residual Killing Intent in the Ten Mile Gobi Beach were removed, resulting in 720 Sha Thunder Orb.
Returning to the Mystic Weight Sect, Jiang Ping'an paid the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks with a total of more than 86,000 spiritual stones (none of them asked for any good deeds).
The seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks were all beaming with joy when they got the spiritual stones. Each of them earned more than 10,000 spiritual stones without any incident in more than ten days. It was really exciting.
"Deputy Sect Master Jiang, can we keep a few Sha Thunder Orb?" seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks asked. They also realized that these Sha Thunder Orb might be quite powerful.
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Okay, each Sha Thunder Orb will cost three hundred spiritual stones."
The seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks hesitated for a while, but in the end only two were willing to buy, each buying five Sha Thunder Orb.
"Deputy Sect Master Jiang, Sha-Drawing Thunder-Refining Array, can you sell it to us?" seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks asked again.
They saw that Jiang Ping'an was sold to them for three hundred spiritual stones per Sha Thunder Orb. Although most of them thought it was good, they felt that if they used Sha-Drawing Thunder-Refining Array to refine Sha Thunder Orb and sell it, it should be profitable.
There are places similar to Ten Mile Gobi Beach within the boundaries of the Mystic Weight Sect.
Jiang Ping'an refused directly. "No."
He is not sure whether the merit gained from repairing Ten Mile Gobi Beach is enough. If not, he needs to repair other dead places. If Sha-Drawing Thunder-Refining Array is sold to seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks, they will definitely go to other dead places to extract the remaining Killing Intent and refine Sha Thunder Orb. By then, his merits will be greatly reduced.
The seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks said unwillingly, "We are willing to buy it at a high price."
"It's not a problem with the spirit stones." Jiang Ping'an said. Then, he comforted him and said, "After some time, we may still have opportunities to cooperate."
Although the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks were disappointed, they were also looking forward to it.
After the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks left, Jiang Ping'an said to Dongfang Jintang and Xuan Shuang: "Jin Tang, Xuan Shuang, I will give you another task to sell these Sha Thunder Orb."
"No problem!" Dongfang Jintang responded immediately, his beautiful eyes shining.
Xuan Shuang also responded, "Yes, Master."
Jiang Ping'an said with a smile, "I would like to make a suggestion: capture one or two top-level second-level monsters known for their defense, and test the power of Sha Thunder Orb in public."
"I understand." Dongfang Jintang said.
Jiang Ping'an then handed over all Sha Thunder Orb to them.
He didn't have time to promote and sell Sha Thunder Orb, so he had to seize the time to repair Ten Mile Gobi Beach.
Returning to Ten Mile Gobi Beach, Jiang Ping'an thought to himself, "Now that all the remaining Killing Intent have been removed, the next step is to initially connect and stabilize the earth veins."
In the next few days, Jiang Ping'an used a large number of spiritual stones as the basis and deployed an improved "Spirit-Gathering Essence-Solidifying Array" above several major earth vein fault zones.
The function of this formation is not to forcibly infuse spiritual energy, but to form a slow "spiritual vortex", like a gentle pump. On the one hand, it attempts to attract the thin spiritual energy between the surrounding heaven and earth to move closer to this place. On the other hand, it extremely slowly converts the spiritual stone spiritual energy into the mildest earth and water spiritual energy, which penetrates into the depths of the thirsty and cracked earth like a trickle. The purpose is to nourish and "soften" those completely dead strata and prepare for the next step of truly communicating with the earth veins.
It took another three days to set up the formation and consumed him 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones.
The third step is also the most critical and experimental step in the Jiang Ping'an plan - building a "spiritual hub node".
Jiang Ping'an came to a relatively flat place in the center of the Gobi Desert, where the ground veins were most severely damaged, like a "heart wound." Here, he took out a few special things: several pieces of gold and silver collected in places where life was still alive. Seeds containing pure plant essence; a small bottle of "spring water" taken from the living spring; and a piece of warm "Soul-Calming Jade" fragment that has a certain affinity for the earth's atmosphere - this is the most suitable material he can find so far.
He mixed his own essence and blood with spiritual power to carve out a complex and mysterious composite array pattern on the ground, placing seeds, spring water, and Soul-Calming Jade fragments in the center of the array in specific directions. Then, he sat cross-legged in the center of the array, running his skills, and continuously injected the spiritual power with a hint of unique vitality that he had cultivated into the array.
This is neither an attack nor a defense, but a resonance that is close to "prayer" and "calling".
Jiang Ping'an hopes that through this miniature but exquisitely structured composite array, using plant seeds as the symbol of life, spring water as the vitality fuse, and Soul-Calming Jade as the earth energy medium, combined with his The power of spiritual power and formations simulates an extremely weak "life and spiritual circulation system", using it as a "spiritual hub" to try to get in touch with the tiniest bit of "landline spirituality" that may remain in the broken earth veins deep under your feet.
This was a hard work, and it was also a great test of patience and will. For three days and three nights, he sat in the formation, his face gradually turned pale, and his energy was consumed a lot, but the formation only glowed slightly, and there seemed to be no earth-shattering changes.
Just when his spiritual power was about to bottom out, and he sighed in his heart and was about to give up temporarily and think of another way--
Suddenly, there was an extremely weak and almost imperceptible throbbing under his feet.
It's like a weak, tentative beat after the heart has stopped beating for a long time.
Immediately afterwards, under the combined effect of the light of the formation and the throbbing of the earth's veins, the seed in front of him that contained the essence of plants and trees made a soft "click" sound, and a tiny crack opened on the surface, and a bit of almost invisible whiteness was tenaciously poked out!
Almost at the same moment, Jiang Ping'an felt an ultimate and extremely pure power of merit quietly descending from somewhere. Jiang Ping'an felt overjoyed, quickly took out Merit List, and guided the merit that was about to fall on him into Merit List.
Ten Mile Gobi Beach, under the catalysis of spiritual energy, the land turned green and grass grew at an alarming speed. With the plants, various insects began to be attracted and migrated, and then some birds flew in.
After another two or three days, Ten Mile Gobi Beach took on a new look and became full of vitality.
The arrival of merit came to an end. Jiang Ping'an took a look at Merit List and saw that there was a lot of merit, but it was still short of about 20%.
"Not bad, if you practice in a dead land, the merits will be enough." Jiang Ping'an said secretly.
Earning merit originally cost a lot of spiritual stones, time and energy, but now he has turned harm into treasure and only needs time and energy. In terms of spiritual stones, he may still make money.
"I wonder if Jintang and Xuan Shuang have promoted Sha Thunder Orb." Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.
He put away Merit List, released the treasure ship, and steered the treasure ship back to the Mystic Weight Sect.
One day later, Jiang Ping'an returned to the Mystic Weight Sect and found that Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun were not at home, and not even the maids and servants were there.
If a maid hadn't told him that Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and others were selling Sha Thunder Orb at Mapo Market, he would have thought that Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and others had been robbed.
When it got dark, Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and Xiu Yun finally came back.
Seeing Jiang Ping'an coming back, the three girls happily came forward to greet them. Xiu Yun said very happily, "Sir, our Sha Thunder Orb is a big seller. One Sha Thunder Orb can sell for five hundred spiritual stones!"
"So many?" Jiang Ping'an said happily, "Haha, thank you for your hard work."
There are more than 700 Sha Thunder Orb in total. If all are sold, more than 350,000 spiritual stones can be recorded in the account. After deducting the 172 Sha Thunder Orb refined from Dongfang Jintang and Xuan Shuang, nearly 270,000 spiritual stones can be recorded in the account.
After deducting all the expenses for repairing Ten Mile Gobi Beach, he can still earn about 100,000 spiritual stones.
Dongfang Jintang said to Jiang Ping'an, "Ping An, Sect Master Li wants to buy a batch of Sha Thunder Orb on behalf of the sect, but he wants the price to be lower, three hundred and fifty spiritual stones each."
"We can sell two hundred to the sect at this price." Jiang Ping'an replied without hesitation.
It is estimated that Mystic Weight Sect will be taxed.
Dongfang Jintang said, "I know."
Jiang Ping'an said, "The day after tomorrow, we will go out to refine Sha Thunder Orb."
"Okay!" Dongfang Jintang and Xuan Shuang responded immediately, with joy on their faces.
Xiu Yun shouted, "Sir, I want to go too!"
Jiang Ping'an explained, "Refining Sha Thunder Orb requires a lot of true energy. You can't refine a few, which is just a waste of time. You should sell Sha Thunder Orb at home."
Xiu Yun is not yet Foundation Establishment Realm, so it may not be possible to refine it into a Sha Thunder Orb in one day.
"Okay." Xiu Yun responded somewhat depressedly.
Jiang Ping'an took out a list and handed it to Xiu Yun: "Send someone to notify the people on the list and tell them to gather at Daheng Peak the day after tomorrow, and then go out together to refine Sha Thunder Orb."
The people on the list are the seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks from last time, as well as their cave addresses.
Two days later, Jiang Ping'an left Mystic Weight Sect with Dongfang Jintang, Xuan Shuang and seven Foundation Establishment Realm monks, heading for a dead place.
More than half a month later, Jiang Ping'an restored the second dead land, and the merit gained finally made Merit List complete.
At this point, the only difference between the three pieces of Core Formation Treasure is Yellow Springs Water.
