He let Muyang take root inside the secret realm.
After putting the Godslayer Saber into his sea of consciousness, Qin Shujian turned and left the secret realm.
Things were different now.
With a Heavenly Being-level member of the Spirit Race inside the secret realm, the concentration of spiritual energy had already risen considerably.
In Qin Shujian's estimation,

This was much better than simply burying spirit stones there.

Qin Shujian did not remove the spirit stones from the secret realm. He left them inside so they could complement Muyang.
According to Muyang,
having a large quantity of spirit stones as a foundation would increase the chances of nurturing a Spirit Vein.

The spiritual energy inside these spirit stones had been completely exhausted, and they were slowly recovering.
Several months had passed.
Even with the Spirit-Gathering Formation Qin Shujian had personally set up, the results were negligible. The spirit stones still held very little spiritual energy.
Compared with the forbidden grounds,
