"This 'ore seed' was one of the greatest inventions in the cultivation world since Middle Antiquity. The usual way to use it is to draw up the earth's qi channels through a Formation Array and concentrate them within a Spirit-Gathering Formation, creating a spirit field."
"Pure spirit qi is absorbed into it, and the entire ore seed undergoes a crystalline transformation."
"Once mature, the ore seed transforms into raw ore. After sorting, purification, refining, and other processes, it becomes the spirit jade commonly used in the cultivation world!"
Seeing that Fang Qianyuan seemed interested in these things, the people beside him naturally hurried to explain.
By comparing their explanations with the impressions in his mind, Fang Qianyuan gained a sufficient understanding of the methods used in spirit mining and the harvesting process.
Next, he watched everyone begin digging trenches in the designated places, burying the grayish-white ore seeds that resembled limestone, then covering them with earth for protection.
Fang Qianyuan had never imagined that the spirit jade everyone in the cultivation world used was actually grown in this way.
"No wonder the places where spirit ore is harvested are called 'spirit fields.' So that really is where the name comes from!"
Before long, Fang Qianyuan arrived at a deep, dark cavern.
This was another place where ore was excavated: a mine shaft.
"Mine shafts are also called spirit wells. After an ore vein forms, its influence naturally permeates and transforms the stone over many years. They can be considered natural ore fields."
"In fact, the way of constructing Formation Arrays on the surface and planting ore seeds simply imitates the crystallization process found in nature."
"Since mine shafts are generally excavated along the qi channels, deep underground and close to the source of spirit qi, the raw ore extracted from
