Spiritual Sense Golden Light Explores Spirit Veins

Qin Haoxuan was already agitated due to Gu Yunzi's matter, and the Golden Lotus medicinal power within him was acting up again. He was like a powder keg. Normally, he would just laugh it off when he heard such words, but today, he instinctively felt a surge of anger. He strode over to the Weak Seed disciple, his eyes filled with killing intent, staring intently at the disciple who was already trembling in fear. "Are you looking to die?" he asked.

The Weak Seed disciple knew he was no match for Zhang Kuang, and even Zhang Kuang couldn't get the better of Qin Haoxuan. There was no way he could provoke him now. However, under everyone's watchful eyes, he couldn't openly show weakness. So, he braced himself and uttered a perfunctory remark, "Just you wait! I'll settle the score with you once my cultivation reaches completion!"

Qin Haoxuan smiled as he looked at the disciple. Since he had scared the disciple into submission, he didn't bother with his empty words anymore. After all, Elder Chu was present, and it wouldn't be good to go too far. Besides, everyone else was diligently selecting good fields, and if he delayed any longer, the better fields would be taken.

Without further ado, he followed the crowd into the five hundred mu of farmland.

Elder Chu shook his head repeatedly as he witnessed this. It seemed Qin Haoxuan's Dao Heart was also becoming unstable. A single taunt could make him fly into a rage. His only commendable trait, his Dao Heart, was wavering. This child was beyond saving. Youth was still youth; he might seem mature on the surface, but when faced with real challenges, he still acted according to his youthful disposition.

He watched as others meticulously examined the land, squatting down to pick up soil and pebbles, rubbing and tasting them. Some injected their spiritual power into the fields to investigate. Others, who had learned Eight Trigrams Numerology well yesterday, combined it with the placement of mountains and water, taking out their compasses to analyze and deduce. Of course, there were also disciples with poor comprehension. Although they had listened attentively in class, they felt dizzy looking at the five hundred fields and had no idea where to start. They simply found a piece that looked decent, stuck a wooden sign with their name on it, and called it a day.

Elder Chu looked with satisfaction at the two hundred new disciples employing all their skills. He nodded frequently as he listened to their excited shouts when they found satisfactory fields.

For ordinary disciples, finding a Spirit Land was extremely difficult. It was better to settle for a mediocre field. If they spent all their effort searching for a Spirit Land and found none, they would lose the already limited mediocre fields to others, which would be a losing proposition.

Whether it was examining soil and pebbles in the field or injecting spiritual power into the land for investigation, both methods were extremely slow and clumsy. Disciples like Zhang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and Li Jing, who were special Immortal Seed disciples, combined yesterday's Eight Trigrams Numerology with today's Feng Shui knowledge to make their calculations.

Before long, Zhang Kuang and Li Jing each found a relatively fertile Spirit Land. They not only earned envious glances but also received praise and approval from Elder Chu. As expected of Purple Seed disciples, they were superior to others in all aspects!

Not long after the two Purple Seed disciples found their Spirit Lands, Zhang Yang also found one. Compared to disciples who had already rooted, their five senses were much stronger than ordinary disciples, so it was normal for them to find Spirit Lands first.

Zhang Yang's performance also earned Elder Chu's admiration. Although Zhang Yang was a Gray Seed disciple, his progress in rooting, personal comprehension, aptitude, and strength were not much inferior to Purple Seed disciples. If he continued to develop like this, his future achievements would be limitless.

Among the five special Immortal Seed disciples, only Xu Yu, a Purple Seed, and Murong Chao, a Gray Seed, had not found suitable fields.

Xu Yu didn't find a Spirit Land not because she hadn't learned Eight Trigrams Numerology and Feng Shui well yesterday. It was because Qin Haoxuan hadn't listened attentively in class that morning. To save Qin Haoxuan's face and prevent others from gossiping about him, and to help him find a Spirit Land, Xu Yu devised a plan. She pretended to be searching for a Spirit Land while muttering to herself, reciting Elder Chu's lecture content and analyzing the quality of the land on the spot.

Xu Yu's actions could fool others, but not Qin Haoxuan. He was deeply moved by this kind girl. He had rejected her suggestion to help him find a Spirit Land for the sake of his pride. Not only was she not angry, but she pretended to search for a Spirit Land, subtly reciting the lecture content and analyzing the land's quality on the spot. On the surface, it seemed like she was also trying hard to find a Spirit Land, but in reality, she was helping him.

The reason she did this was because the person who had mocked Qin Haoxuan earlier had deeply affected her. Brother Haoxuan, under the halo of his Purple Seed status, was called a freeloader. This was a great insult to any man! Moreover, Brother Haoxuan was definitely not as weak as he appeared. She believed that if she told him the lecture content from that morning, he would surely be able to find a Spirit Land with his own abilities.

"Brother Haoxuan, this is a mediocre field. Although it's not as good as a Spirit Land full of underground spiritual energy, planting Spirit Medicine here and paying the sect contribution... it should be enough to make ends meet," Xu Yu suddenly said softly as she approached Qin Haoxuan, pointing to a field that looked fairly decent.

Seeing Xu Yu's hesitant expression, Qin Haoxuan couldn't help but chuckle. This silly girl was still worried about his appetite, fearing that he would find a subpar field and wouldn't even have enough to eat after paying the sect contribution. However, a mediocre field was not Qin Haoxuan's ideal goal. Why should Zhang Kuang and Li Jing be able to find Spirit Lands, but he couldn't?

If he felt inferior to the Purple Seed disciples, then the Purple Seed disciples should use Spirit Lands, and he should use mediocre or even subpar fields. If he lacked even this ambition, how could he contend with Zhang Kuang and Li Jing in the future!

After Qin Haoxuan shook his head and refused to leave, a Weak Seed disciple who had been following them joyfully planted his name sign in this mediocre field, looking as if he had struck gold. But in Qin Haoxuan's eyes, this disciple would never achieve much in his life.

Cultivating immortality is about cultivating the heart. If one lacks an unyielding heart, how can they contend with heaven in the future, how can they fight for their destiny against heaven? Those who willingly degenerate and follow the crowd will never reach the summit!

Murong Chao saw all of this. In his opinion, a Weak Seed disciple having such high aspirations was not a good thing.

However, Murong Chao didn't have the headspace to mock Qin Haoxuan now because he noticed contemptuous glances from others. After all, among the five special Immortal Seed disciples, he was the only one who hadn't rooted yet. Thinking of this, Murong Chao couldn't help but feel dejected. A few times, he even overheard people behind his back saying, "What's the point of being a Gray Seed? He's just as useless. Zhang Yang has already rooted, and he still hasn't."

Murong Chao, who had always been proud and arrogant, surprisingly didn't get angry when he heard these whispers. As a Gray Seed disciple, not having rooted was already embarrassing enough. If he caused trouble over a few idle remarks, he would lose even more face.

Therefore, for this field selection, whether for the harvest of the coming year or for his reputation, he had to put in his best effort to choose a Spirit Land.

After about ten minutes, Xu Yu explained some of the methods for selecting Spirit Lands that Elder Chu had taught in class. Qin Haoxuan took it all in and remembered it. However, no matter which method it was, finding a Spirit Land seemed unlikely. But if it involved combining it with Eight Trigrams Numerology, with his current comprehension, it was indeed a bit difficult.

Thinking of this, Qin Haoxuan became anxious. Among the two hundred new disciples, nearly a hundred had found their fields, and nearly a hundred were still striving to find Spirit Lands, including Murong Chao. The competitive pressure was immense.

"Junior Sister, go find your own Spirit Land. I understand what you said!"

There were very few fields left, and he couldn't afford to delay Xu Yu any longer. Qin Haoxuan decided to send Xu Yu away and find a Spirit Land himself.

Looking at the stubborn Qin Haoxuan, Xu Yu sighed and stopped guiding him, beginning to search for her own Spirit Land.

Qin Haoxuan, facing the remaining four hundred mu of wasteland, began to ponder what method to use to find a Spirit Land. If he were to knead the soil bit by bit, analyze its quality, and deduce whether it was a Spirit Land, this method would be too time-consuming and highly inaccurate, relying too much on luck. But if he were to inject his spiritual power into the land, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. A single field was an acre in size. It would take a whole day to patiently check if there was an underground spiritual spring, let alone four hundred acres!

Besides these clumsy methods, the only option was to combine yesterday's Eight Trigrams Numerology with today's basic Feng Shui knowledge for deduction. However, he wasn't a disciple with exceptional comprehension, and he only had a partial understanding of yesterday's Eight Trigrams Numerology. The conclusions derived from deduction would likely be even more unreliable.

As Qin Haoxuan was worrying, he suddenly had an inspiration!

He had read in a book that Spiritual Sense had a wide range of applications, being extremely useful in formations, alchemy, and other areas. Could it be used here? Thinking of this, Qin Haoxuan unhesitatingly calmed his mind, treating the land beneath his feet as an enemy, and began to stimulate the golden light in his mind.

He sent a small beam of golden light, spreading it over the acre of land beneath his feet. Then, a strange thing happened!

Qin Haoxuan felt only a faint, almost imperceptible flicker of spiritual energy in the land beneath his feet, like a candle in the wind, about to extinguish at any moment.

He then separated another wisp of Spiritual Sense and spread it over the mediocre field Xu Yu had mentioned earlier. Through the overgrown weeds, he could clearly feel spiritual energy pulsating like a heartbeat beneath the seemingly barren soil. Although not strong, the quality of the spiritual energy was much better than that of a subpar field.

Seeing Qin Haoxuan's gaze turn towards him, the disciple who had felt he had struck gold became instantly vigilant. He shielded the name sign planted in the ground with one hand and prepared to call for help. He thought Qin Haoxuan had regretted his decision and was coming to snatch his field. Qin Haoxuan smiled faintly at his comical expression and walked away without a word.

What followed made Qin Haoxuan appear like a madman in the eyes of others. He would stand on each field for ten breaths, then silently walk away. He didn't seem to be using any method to inspect the land, not even bending down.

His actions drew a scoff from Elder Chu, who occasionally glanced at him. Had he gone mad because he couldn't find a Spirit Land? Even when using Eight Trigrams Numerology combined with Feng Shui common sense for deduction, one had to bend down to examine the terrain, listen to the wind and airflow, observe the mountains and water, and use many other methods. What kind of inspection method involved standing in one spot for a while and then leaving? It was unheard of.

Qin Haoxuan didn't have time to care what others thought of him. He was desperately searching for a Spirit Land. Since each field was an acre in size, covering the entire acre required a considerable amount of Spiritual Sense each time. As he detected more and more fields, his speed slowed down. Due to the excessive consumption of Spiritual Sense, his face had become somewhat pale, and he looked listless.
