For the first time, Jiang Ding made no attempt to conceal himself. He flew across the skies of the Northern Plains, surveying its mountains, spiritual veins, land, and rivers.
From time to time, he landed and took out array implements, ores, or spirit stones, forming hand seals as he set something in place.
After a while, cultivators from Tushan Central Court arrived and took over the work.
At other times, Jiang Ding flew to a fourth-tier spiritual vein and stopped within a Nascent Soul sect. He paid no mind to its patriarch leading the entire sect out to welcome him, absorbed in arranging something of his own.
Sometimes he planted a tree. Sometimes he used immense magic power to move entire mountains, altering the veins of the earth.
Sometimes he planned a Spirit Medicine Garden there, or built a spirit beast park.
Jiang Ding spent several years finishing his work in the Northern Plains. Then he flew to the East Sea, Southern Border, and Western Desert, setting up countless things and planning many enterprises: Spirit Medicine Gardens, spirit beast lakes, deep-sea aquaculture currents, deep-sea plantations, mountain mines, and more.
He was establishing Void Refining industries across this lesser world.
Just as the lesser world of the Horn Nether Domain produced Void Refining demon stones and Demon Vine fruits, this lesser world could still nurture Void Refining heavenly materials and earthly treasures despite the damage it had suffered.
It might simply take longer.
But combined with the Immortal Sect's more scientific and efficient nurturing methods, its output might surpass that of the Horn Nether Domain's lesser world, and take less time.
"The final product is..."
"Earth Wu Mother Gold Ore, one of the main ingredients for No. 1 Synthetic Geng Metal—a top-grade Void Refining material worth 0.8 Void Refining battle credits."
