Ye Chuqi did not dare take that risk, nor did she dare gamble with this world.
The Formation Eye was Breath Soil, but hidden beneath it was an Ore Vein she had never expected. She had not expected the other things she had found, either, but she could at least make sense of them when they appeared. This Ore Vein, though, left her utterly stunned.

It could not really be called an Ore Vein. It was a Spirit Vein.
Several thousand years probably had not allowed the Spirit Vein to grow much larger. Besides, this world had no Spiritual Energy to nourish it. It was likely the same size as when it had been placed here: no longer than Ye Chuqi's arm.
A thumb-sized Spirit Vein could fetch an astronomical price at auction. A Supreme-Grade Spirit Vein this large could supply all the Spiritual Energy a medium-sized sect needed.
