"All disciples Dao of Artifact Refinement and Dao of Formations must repair their Spirit Vein."
"You have half a month to respond. If you fail to do so, you will be punished!"
The voice of True Lord Yuanhao resounded throughout the inner gate, and his figure hovered above everyone's heads.
A powerful pressure swept down.
The most important task for the entire Azure Pool right now is to repair the Spirit Vein.
Without Spirit Vein, not only is Golden Core cultivation put on hold, but even the number of Foundation Establishment cannot be increased.
That is to say, many people died or were injured within the secret realm; otherwise, with the current concentration of Spiritual Qi, it would certainly not be able to support the original number of Foundation Establishment True Person.
At this moment, all the eligible disciples were busy in the inner sect area.
No one dared to slack off; they frantically cast spells and manipulated Law Artifact, scattered here and there.
They attempted to accelerate the return of those fragments of the Spirit Vein to the underground and fuse them together.
"Zzzzz~!"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
"Sizzle! Sizzle!"
The scene was bustling with activity, and Lu Li was among the crowd.
He carefully cast spells, sending a thumb-sized fragment of Spirit Vein into the ground to be melted down.
While others weren't paying attention, he secretly activated the Mountain-Moving Method he had already learned, slowly lifting Spirit Vein as thick as a forearm.
The next second.
"Buzz~!"
With a slight flash of light, the fragment of the Spirit Vein, about the thickness of a forearm, that had been floating beneath Lu Li's palm, vanished from its spot.
Meanwhile, inside the command hall of the Bureau 749 of Great Xia.
On the bright metal platform, a fragment of Spirit Vein, shimmering with a pale blue light, suddenly appeared.
The Spiritual Qi in the entire command hall increased dramatically at a visible speed in that instant!
"This... this is..."
"Did Comrade Lu Li send this back?"
The staff on duty hadn't even reacted yet.
Lu Li's voice rang out hastily through the jade pendant.
"This is the fragment of the Spirit Vein I sent back. Quickly, have Xu Mu and the others seal this fragment underground using Spiritual Power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff member on duty quickly grabbed the communication device next to him and sent a message to the experimental workshop.
Xu Mu, who was cooperating with Wang Zhiwen in a biological soul transfer experiment, was stunned on the spot.
His hand paused, and the white rat's soul, which had just been extracted, became confused and lost its mind due to the brainwave stimulation.
"Comrade Xu Mu? Comrade Xu Mu, what's wrong?"
Wang Zhiwen looked at Xu Mu with slight regret.
"Old Wang... Elder Wang..."
"Hmm? What's causing your surprise?"
"Um... it seems Comrade Lu Li sent back a Spirit Vein..."
"A... Spirit Vein?!"
The entire Bureau 749 was instantly shocked, and the scattered researchers rushed towards the command center.
Xu Mu, Lu Dahai, and the others were even faster.
Upon arriving at the command hall, one sees a pale blue meridian, about the thickness of a forearm, radiating a rich Spiritual Qi.
Yes, that Spirit Vein is very similar to the meridians in the human body, and also to the roots of an old tree.
Lu Dahai, with the highest cultivation level and a special physique, sensed a rich Spiritual Qi even before entering the command hall.
It made his meridians involuntarily relax.
Upon seeing the pale blue fragment of the Spirit Vein, he trembled all over.
"This... this is Spirit Vein?"
" The Spiritual Qi is so abundant, its concentration is several times higher than that of the Spirit Soil."
Lu Dahai was slightly stunned, while Wang Zhiwen was already bursting with excitement.
"Quickly! Comrade Xu Mu! Do as Lu Li instructed and fuse this fragment of the Spirit Vein into the ground!"
"Place it at the very bottom of our base!"
"Yes!"
Xu Mu knew he couldn't delay, so while suppressing his excitement, he quickly used his magic to bring the fragment of the Spirit Vein over.
Take the high-speed elevator straight to the last floor of the base.
Hundreds of meters underground, a spell was cast to part the hard soil layer and place the fragment of the Spirit Vein inside.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the command center, everything was in a frenzy.
Countless devices that detect Spiritual Power lit up with green light and emitted a buzzing sound.
The Spiritual Qi concentration at Bureau 749's base has never been so abundant!
Even more astonishingly, within just an hour or so, the Spiritual Qi detection devices around the base all lit up with green lights.
In other words...
" Elder Wang! The Spiritual Qi resurgence seems to have intensified!"
"Our initial guess was completely correct: the more Spirit Vein there are, the higher the efficiency of Spiritual Qi revival!"
"Preliminary spiritual energy has emerged around the base, albeit at a very low level, but theoretically there is already a possibility of Qi Introduction into the body!"
A researcher in charge of monitoring the equipment shouted at the top of his lungs.
His tone was extremely excited.
Lu Li hadn't yet hung up the jade pendant when he naturally heard the researcher's voice.
After a moment's hesitation, he revealed news that brought everyone immense joy.
" Elder Wang... if fragments of Spirit Vein can also accelerate the revival of Spiritual Qi..."
"I'll probably be sending out quite a few Spiritual Qi fragments over the next few days."
"Please be prepared to seal them one by one underground."
"Not... not a few?!"
"Comrade Lu Li, weren't you cultivating your Spirit Vein? What's wrong...?"
"It's under repair. The Spirit Vein was shattered all over the ground, which gave me the opportunity to send it back."
"Well... you must be careful, you absolutely mustn't let anyone find out!"
Wang Zhiwen's voice was filled with worry, though he was also excited about the intensifying Spiritual Qi revival.
But thinking of Lu Li's current situation, she immediately felt her heart leap into her throat and began to give him instructions.
"Yes, don't worry, Elder Wang, I know what I'm doing."
"Besides... I shouldn't have any problems in the short term."
Lu Li relayed all the information he had recently learned.
He relayed back every single word that True Lord Yuanhao had said.
This shocked everyone and confirmed their suspicions.
He quickly informed Lu Li of the strategic report he had analyzed.
He warned them to be extremely careful, as a powerful demon from another region would inevitably attack Azure Pool in the near future.
This is not bad news for Lu Li; in fact, it's a huge boon.
In accordance with the national strategic goals for the next stage.
The best-case scenario right now is... the toad demon manages to put up a difficult fight, repel the Demon Beast, but his injuries become even more severe.
Having successfully defended their territory, they still need a long period of recuperation.
Give Lu Li time to develop.
During this period, Lu Li only needs to improve his strength as much as possible, refine the Dao Fruit, and at the same time try to plunder the chaotic resources of the Azure Pool!
"Comrade Lu Li, your current position in Azure Pool is quite special; you must make good use of your status."
"If possible, in the next strategic objective, please vigorously plunder the resources of Azure Pool and smuggle fragments of the Spirit Vein."
"This will greatly promote the development of spiritual practice research in the country."
"Perhaps by the time you attain the Golden Core, the nation will already have the means to restrain Nascent Soul demons!"
Wang Zhiwen's voice was strong and resonant.
The upheaval at Azure Pool is both a crisis and an opportunity for Lu Li and the Great Xia.
As long as we can seize the opportunity and overcome the difficulties.
In the future, we will no longer be subject to this constraint.
From now on, you will have the opportunity and the ability to witness the true splendor of the cultivation Immortal Realm!
"I understand, Elder Wang. I will be careful."
"Oh, right..."
Lu Li seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.
" Elder Wang, can the jade pendant allow spirits to pass through?"
