The short-bearded monk arrived faster than expected.
The market had been in operation for less than two months when a team of six people came from the direction of Yunyang Marketplace. The leader was the short-bearded monk, who came to survey the site of 1,900 acres of Spirit Field.
The short-bearded monk brought a roll of detailed survey drawings and met Management Office and Li Yuan in Fang City.
"Nineteen hundred acres is not a small area."
The short-bearded monk unfolded the blueprint and drew a circle with his fingers on the terrain around Fang City.
"A lot of the west and north sides of Fangshi have been occupied, leaving only the south and east sides that can be used."
Li Yuan glanced at the area marked on the drawing.
The south side is close to the edge of Ghost Mist Forest. The terrain is flat and the area is sufficient, but the Fiend Qi residue is heavy. The coverage of Fiend Gathering Array is mainly concentrated in the core area of Fang City. The concentration of Fiend Qi on the southern edge has not yet dropped to the standard for Spirit Field planting.
The problem in the east is different. The concentration of Fiend Qi is lower than that in the south, but the terrain is highly undulating, making direct reclamation unrealistic. The terrain needs to be leveled first.
"The south side can be divided into about 1,100 acres, and the east side is 800 acres. The total is just right." The short-bearded monk said. "But there are problems on both sides. The south Fiend Qi is too heavy, and the east side's terrain is not good."
"Fiend Qi and the terrain will be handled by me." Li Yuan said.
The short-bearded monk was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Early the next morning, Li Yuan went to the east first.
The 800-acre area spans three low hills and two shallow ditches, with the largest height difference approaching two feet. It would take a lot of work to level this area into flat land suitable for farming.
Li Yuan stands on the top of the highest hill and runs Earth Manipulation Art.
The 30% power bonus of Thick Earth Amplification is fully reflected at this moment.
Spiritual power poured into the ground beneath his feet, and the soil and gravel on the hills began to move driven by Earth Manipulation Art. The soil and rocks were peeled off from the top of the hills, flowing to the shallow ditches on both sides in the direction guided by the spiritual power, filling the low-lying areas.
The range of control is much larger than before. After Thick Earth True Art Major Accomplishment, the quality and affinity of Earth Element's spiritual power have been comprehensively improved, and the coverage of Earth Manipulation Art has expanded from the original ten feet to more than thirty feet.
The first hill was leveled off within half a day, and after the soil was filled into the shallow ditch next to it, the ground was basically level.
The second hill was bigger and took most of the day.
The third hill was processed the next morning.
After leveling, Li Yuan used Earth Manipulation Art to loosen the surface soil to a depth of about three feet, turning the hardened hard soil into soft tillable soil.
The terrain problem on the east side has been solved.
Next is the Fiend Qi problem to the south.
Li Yuan stood on the edge of the southern area, closing his eyes to perceive.
Fiend Vein Special Equipment's perception plays a key role in this moment.
Mineral Vein Dao is located deep in the south of Fang City, about four to five hundred feet away from the Spirit Field site selection area. After Fiend Vein is equipped, Li Yuan can accurately sense the distribution and flow direction of Fiend Qi underground around Mineral Vein Dao. The sensing range far exceeds Mineral Vein Dao itself and extends to the underground surrounding Fang City.
The distribution of underground Fiend Qi in the southern area is not uniform.
There are three nodes where Fiend Qi is particularly dense, such as the underground Fiend Qi convergence points. Fiend Qi penetrates and spreads from these three nodes to the surrounding areas. As long as Fiend Gathering Array is laid out on these three nodes, the seepage of Fiend Qi can be cut off from the source, which is far more efficient than laying Array on a large area on the surface.
Ordinary Array Master does not have this ability to accurately sense underground nodes. It can only arrange arrays evenly on the surface and use quantity to make up for the lack of accuracy.
After the three-seater Fiend Gathering Array is activated, the effect is immediate.
The Fiend Qi at three underground nodes was intensively extracted, and the Fiend Qi seeping into the surrounding areas decreased rapidly. The surface Fiend Qi concentration in the southern area dropped by nearly 60% within half a day, and by evening it was close to the standard line for Spirit Field planting.
In a few days, the remaining Fiend Qi will be continuously extracted by Fiend Gathering Array, and the concentration will completely reach the standard.
"I admire the methods of fellow Daoist Li." He looked at the rapidly decreasing concentration of Fiend Qi in the southern area and sighed with emotion. "If it had been handled by someone else, it would have taken ten and a half months just to set up the formation, and it might not have been able to drop to this level."
Li Yuan didn't say much.
Three days later, the concentration of Fiend Qi in the southern area dropped below the standard line.
The men of the short-bearded monk then entered the scene.
In addition to the previous six-person survey team, more than 20 Rogue Cultivator laborers came, as well as a professional Spirit Field Steward. Spirit Field Steward is an old monk with gray hair. It is said that Qi Refining Late Stage has cultivated Spirit Field all his life and has extremely rich experience.
The area of 1,900 acres is huge. Even if more than 20 people start the construction at the same time, it cannot be completed in a short time.
The short-bearded monk kept saying that his plan to go to Qinglan Marketplace would be postponed.
Li Yuan did not continue to keep an eye on the progress of the reclamation. He handed over the subsequent docking work to Management Office and returned to the stone house to practice.
The low brake area around Fangshi has been further expanded due to the deployment of this batch of Fiend Gathering Array.
The concentration of Fiend Qi in large areas to the south and east has dropped to extremely low levels. In addition to the previously reclaimed Spirit Field District areas to the west and north, the low concentration range in the four directions of Fang City has been greatly expanded.
The effect was quickly felt.
Another batch of Rogue Cultivators have been moved from the periphery. These Rogue Cultivators previously thought the Fiend Qis around Wulin Marketplace were too heavy and have been waiting and watching. Now that the low-end area has expanded, the experience of living near Fangshi is similar to that of Yunyang Marketplaces from the periphery. They are close to Ghost Mist Forests and Lingxi Valleys, so there is no reason not to move.
The permanent population of Fangshi has increased by more than 20 people in one month, and the occupancy rate of stalls has increased a lot.
The days of practice went on as usual.
One afternoon, Li Yuan was making a routine inspection in Fangshi Square.
Entry Perception operates continuously within a three-foot range.
A Traveling Merchant walked past Li Yuan, and the storage bag on his back and several sundries on his waist entered the perception range one after another.
Green.
The fluctuation comes from a jade pendant hanging on Traveling Merchant's waist.
Li Yuan kept walking and glanced at Traveling Merchant.
Normally dressed as Rogue Cultivator, with a cultivated level of Mid Qi Refinement, he was wandering in the square, seemingly looking for a stall.
Li Yuan walked around in a circle and came back, standing next to the stall where Traveling Merchant stopped.
"Do you want to sell this jade pendant on your waist?"
Traveling Merchant looked down at his waist, a little surprised.
"This? I picked it up in a cave over there at Withered River Beach. I don't know what it is. If you like it, senior, just give me a price."
"Thirty Spirit Stone."
Traveling Merchant's eyes lit up. The items picked up in Withered River Beach's cave could be sold for so much, which was far beyond expectations.
"Deal."
Li Yuan handed Spirit Stone over and got the jade pendant.
Returning to the stone house, I put my fingers on the surface of the jade pendant.
[Equipable item detected: Soul-Calming Jade Pendant (complete)]
[Equipment Affix Preview: Spirit Platform Stability (green)--The probability of being possessed during practice is reduced by 30%, and the conflict of spiritual powers with different attributes is reduced by 30%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Practice two Cultivation Method with different attributes and reach Perfection(0/2)]
Green Trait. Spirit Platform Stability.
The probability of being possessed is reduced by 30%, and spiritual conflicts are reduced.
For me, Hundred Rivers Return to Sea has greatly reduced the conflict between multiple Cultivation Methods. The effect of Spirit Platform Stability is to add a layer of insurance on this basis. More and more Cultivation Methods are practicing, and their attributes are becoming more and more complex. An extra layer of security is not a bad thing.
The permanent condition is that two Cultivation Methods with different attributes reach Perfection. Currently, the Cultivation Method of Perfection has Spirit Guiding Art and Hundred Meridians Origin Return Art, but both are The attributes Cultivation Method. Red Fire Art are still in Entry Level, Thick Earth True Art Major Accomplishment, Azure Wood Longevity Art Proficiency. The conditions cannot be met in the short term.
There is no rush yet.
Li Yuan Put away the jade pendant and continue practicing.
Soul Condensation Art has also made progress during this time.
During the process of pushing from Mastery to Minor Accomplishment, Li Yuan noticed something unusual.
Soul Condensation Art's cultivation speed has not slowed down.
According to normal rules, the higher the Proficiency degree of Cultivation Method, the more difficult it is to advance. It may only take a few days from Entry Level to Proficiency, more than ten days from Proficiency to Mastery, and it should take longer from Mastery to Minor Accomplishment.
But the propulsion speed of Soul Condensation Art from Mastery to Minor Accomplishment is almost the same as that of Proficiency to Mastery.
Li Yuan stopped practicing and carefully felt the state of his soul.
The strength of the soul is much higher than expected.
Soul Light Tempering strengthens Spirit Transformation soul for a long time, Fiend Origin Unification's Fiend Qi soul quenching effect continues to flush the soul node, Soul Tempering and Condensation improves the level of concentration, Alchemy Comprehension With Alchemy Art Mastery, the soul induction is further enhanced. These Affix are nourished over time, and my own Divine Soul Strength has far exceeded the normal level of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage monk.
The soul is strong enough, but I have never practiced a specialized soul before Cultivation Method.
It's like a person who is born with great strength but has never practiced martial arts. He has sufficient reserves of strength but lacks a systematic way to use it.
Soul Condensation Art is the first divine soul Cultivation Method. The process of cultivating it is not to accumulate divine soul power from scratch, but to incorporate the existing abundant divine soul power into the operation system of Cultivation Method.
The foundation is too strong, Cultivation Method is just sorting out and sorting out the existing accumulation, which is naturally much faster than practicing from scratch.
Li Yuan continued to practice, and Panel popped out.
