On the second night after returning from the Ji Family, Li Yuan did not go to Spirit Vein Core to practice, but directly drank Mineral Vein Dao.
Deep inside Mine Tunnel, Fiend Cultivation Array in Natural Hollow is still operating as usual. Spirit Pattern on Array Eye in several places is restrained and stable, and Fiend Qi is slowly flowing along the main circuit.
Li Yuan did not look at the output of Fiend Stone first, but stood at the edge of the cavity, closed his eyes and sunk his mind into Large Spirit Vein.
After the full picture of the spiritual veins was unfolded in his perception, Li Yuan followed the main veins to the periphery and quickly locked on a suitable branch vein.
This branch branches off from the middle section of the main vein and goes south, passing through a section of underground stone layer not far above Mineral Vein Dao.
Previously, the spiritual power of the spiritual veins naturally seeped into Fiend Ore, and it passed through the gaps in the stone layer in this area. However, the direction was scattered and the flow was very small, all relying on the weak guidance of the stone layer itself.
Li Yuan went through the operation method of Vein-Guiding Technique in his mind, and then started to cast the spell.
The spiritual power is sent out from the fingertips and slowly penetrates along the surface of the branch veins.
It's just that the spiritual power barely adheres to the surface and slowly follows the flow of spiritual power inside the vein body for a short distance.
Li Yuan is attached at this point and starts trying to offset.
A quarter of an hour later, the branch finally responded.
It's not that the entire vein has shifted, but that a small section has a very weak bend. The amplitude is almost invisible, but in Spirit Vein Perception, that slight shift is clear enough.
Useful.
Li Yuan stopped Vein-Guiding Technique and first looked at the status of the branch veins. There was no abnormality in the offset section, and there was no rejection reaction in the vein body itself. It seems that as long as the intensity is properly controlled, the branch veins can indeed be deflected a little bit after repeated casting.
In the next few days, Li Yuan went to the vicinity of Mineral Vein Dao to cast spells every night.
The amplitude of each deviation is very small, but the victory lies in continuous stability. This is the requirement of Vein-Guiding Technique. It cannot be rushed or violent, it can only be done step by step like grinding a stone.
Five days later, the direction of the branch vein in the target section had obviously shifted towards the Fiend Ore direction. The spiritual power of the spiritual vein began to penetrate more into the underground stone layer above Mineral Vein Dao along the shifted direction.
The amount of seepage is several times greater than that of previous natural seepage.
Three days later, when Li Yuan came to Natural Hollow again to check the output, the results were already in front of him.
Four new pieces of Purple Sha Stone formed near Array Eye.
There are not two pieces by chance, but four pieces appearing at different positions in the main circuit at the same time. Each piece is darker in color than the previous one, and it weighs heavier in the hand.
Li Yuan took out one of the pieces and probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.
The ratio of Fiend Qi to spiritual power has become close to one to one.
The output frequency has also been significantly increased. In the past, Purple Fiend Stone only condensed occasionally, relying on natural seepage and luck. Now that Vein-Guiding Technique has led the direction of the branch veins, the spiritual energy penetration has become a continuous and stable state. The condensation of Purple Fiend Stone is no longer a random event, but part of the normal output of Mineral Vein Dao.
Li Yuan took away all four pieces of Purple Fiend Stone, checked the direction and seepage status of the branch veins after the deviation, and left Mine Tunnel after confirming that there were no problems.
During this period, the cleanup at Ruins has also come to an end.
A lot of manpower was invested in the Yuanyang Sect, from the periphery to Middle Layer to Deep Layer. The cleanup is finally coming to an end.
Most of the remaining Array and old prohibitions have been demolished or sealed. More than a dozen stone chambers and three old corridors have been cleared out of the buried area, and the registered items and classics have been archived.
In this last batch, Yuanyang Sect no longer just cleaned up, but began to put new formations into them.
Li Yuan is responsible for quite a bit of it.
Defense Array, Exploration Array, Early Warning Array, Stabilization Array, from the outer ring of Deep Layer to the edge of Golden Core Formation Zone.
Yuanyang Sect obviously intends to completely use this Ruins for his own use. It will no longer just treat it as an old site that needs to be explored, but will transform it into a long-term garrison.
The workload of setting up the formation is not small.
Li Yuan has been busy in Ruins for more than ten days, dealing with Array Pattern, nodes, and circuits every day. When deploying a new array, we must consider compatibility with the old structure, and when removing old restrictions, we must prevent the newly deployed Array from being implicated. Both ends must be considered.
Fortunately, after Second-Order Array Dao Entry Level, although these tasks are tedious, they are not overwhelming. After a lot of practical work, Array Dao Proficiency progresses faster than simply Cultivation is faster. By the time the last batch of Defense Array is deployed, the progress of Second-Order Array Dao in Panel has jumped from Entry Level to Proficiency.
[Skill: Second-Order Array Dao--Proficiency(0/400)]
At the same time, the Proficiency degree of Azure Wood Longevity Art is also advancing steadily in daily practice. Panel shows that it has crossed the center line of Mastery Stage and is moving in the direction of Minor Accomplishment.
In the final stage of cleaning, a batch of new things were uncovered.
This time it was found in the corner of an old workshop in Deep Layer that had been completely blocked by rubble. It took several monks a long time to clear the stones blocking the door, and the things inside were better preserved than those outside.
There are more than a dozen old volumes on the stone shelf, as well as several jade bottles with complete seals and two sets of old Array Disk that have lost their spirituality.
When Li Yuan arrived, the deacon in charge of registration was looking through the old volumes one by one.
When I turned to the fourth volume, the deacon's movements suddenly slowed down.
"These are not Array, nor are they Cultivation Method."
People nearby gathered around to watch.
Li Yuan also took a volume and turned through a few pages.
What is recorded in the volume is a systematic method of maintaining life.
It is not a Cultivation Method for cultivation, nor is it a spell for combat, but a means specifically used to assist people who are dying of life to delay death.
The content involved is very complex.
There are ways to temporarily block the decay of the meridians by combining Spiritual Qi Infusion with specific drugs, there are ways to use Array to force external spiritual energy into the body of a dying monk to maintain life, and there are also several prototypes of Pill Formula that are mixed with Essence Blood, medicinal power, and unorthodox auxiliary materials.
Li Yuan becomes more familiar the more you look at it.
The underlying path numbers of these things are completely consistent with the Heterodox Life-Nurturing Path record previously found on the edge of Golden Core Formation Zone.
The medicinal materials and refining ideas involved in several of the prototypes of Pill Formula are no longer similar to the Longevity Pill medicine that Dark Abyss Society is now hawking outside, but have a clear upstream and downstream relationship.
Unfortunately, these Pill Formula are just prototypes and cannot be directly used to Alchemy.
Li Yuan put the old roll back, registered and filed the things as usual, and sent them to Outpost.
After coming out of Ruins, Li Yuan returned to Fangshi and found that the situation in Fangshi had quietly changed.
The first thing I noticed was the supply from Spirit Field.
Previously, Li Yuan's Spirit Field medicinal materials and some Talisman Paper sources were from the Li Family channels.
Li Family has ten shops in Fangshi, which also provide part of Li Yuan's supply of supplies.
But recently this line was disconnected.
It didn't stop suddenly, but slowed down little by little, and finally stopped completely.
Li Yuan went to Management Office to check and found out. The two stores that Li Family originally operated in Fangshi have been closed, and the batch of errands Rogue Cultivator with the name Li Family have also disappeared. They did not run away, but were poached by the Wang Family.
Wang Family moves very quickly during this period.
After the Li Family was targeted by the sect, Wang Family almost seamlessly took over the material channels, stores and errands originally controlled by the Li Family.
The alchemy shop on the west side of Fangshi that originally had the Li Family signboard, is now being visited by the Wang Family. The Rogue Cultivator running on several peripheral purchasing routes has also been replaced by a face arranged by the Wang Family.
The sect did not take direct action against the Li Family, did not seize the industry, and did not officially announce its intention. But the secret pressure was already obvious. Li Family had its supply cut off at several frontline strongholds, and its connections in the city were also rapidly losing. Wang Family took advantage of this window to expand aggressively, taking up most of the territory vacated by the Li Family.
This directly affects the supply chain of Li Yuan.
Spirit Field needs to find new sources of seeds and auxiliary materials, and Talisman Paper must find other ways to supply them.
Li Yuan did not rush to talk to the Wang Family. He just archived the existing libraries he had on hand first to confirm that there would be no problems in the short term, and then turned his attention back to Purple Fiend Stone.
After Vein-Guiding Technique stabilized Flow Guidance, Purple Fiend Stone output of Mineral Vein Dao has been on the right track.
Li Yuan has saved more than a dozen pieces of Purple Fiend Stone with stable quality. This time he did not keep them anymore, but took them directly to the market to try to sell them.
The first stop was the grocery store where I asked about the price last time.
The shopkeeper perked up as soon as he saw Purple Fiend Stone. After checking it over and over, he directly quoted the price.
"Two hundred Spirit Stone one piece."
It was fifty Spirit Stone more expensive than before. Li Yuan didn't make a counter-offer and sold it for three yuan first.
Then I went to two other shops, and the prices were similar. The difference mainly depends on whether the ratio of Fiend Qi and spiritual power inside each piece of Purple Fiend Stone is uniform. The more uniform the price, the more expensive it is.
Three shops ran down, Li Yuan sold a total of seven Purple Fiend Stone, and recovered thousands of Spirit Stone.
The payback period dividend of Fiend Ore is changing from a vague concept to a real inflow of resources.
Spirit Field output, Fiend Ore return, Talisman Medicinal Pill sales, plus the newly opened line Purple Fiend Stone, several resource lines are recovering at the same time. Although the interruption of the Li Family channel has caused some troubles to the supply chain, the overall resource accumulation speed has increased instead of falling.
Li Yuan put away the alchemy materials and Spirit Sand obtained today into categories, and then sat down to practice.
