The Medical Hall and the Blessed Land Spirit Foundation
"Finally upgraded to level 6. Now the mountain gate can also be upgraded. It wasn't easy," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
The mountain gate hasn't been upgraded since it reached level 5, and several months have passed since then.
Unfortunately, the condition for upgrading the sect gate to level 6 is that both the Sect Grand Hall and the Spirit Vein Pavilion must be upgraded to level 6.
The Sect Grand Hall has long been upgraded to level 6, but the Spirit Vein Pavilion has been slowly upgrading.
Now that the conditions have been met, the mountain gate can finally continue to be upgraded.
Li Yunjing immediately arrived at the gate of the Luozhen Sect.
The mountain gate has changed dramatically.
At first, the mountain gate consisted of just a few rotten wooden pillars, and the words "Luozhen Sect" were still blurry.
Now, the mountain gate is carved from a single piece of thousand-year-old Xuantie rock, over ten zhang high and wide enough for more than ten people to walk side by side.
The sect's name is engraved on the lintel, with vigorous strokes that faintly reveal golden spiritual light. Each stroke is inlaid with protective array patterns, making it one of the core nodes of the entire array.
Two towering stone rhinoceros beasts, each ten feet tall, stood on either side of the mountain gate. Their eyes were inlaid with low-grade spirit jade, and even when they closed their eyes and lay dormant, they exuded a faint aura of power, guarding the pass with an imposing presence.
Below the mountain gate are a thousand white jade steps, the surface of which is warm and smooth from being soaked in Spiritual Qi, without a speck of dust. Light purple spiritual grass grows along the edge of the steps, and when the wind blows, delicate petals fall, carrying a sweet Spiritual Qi.
On either side of the stone steps stand bamboo lamps, each burning with thousand-year-old pine resin oil. During the day, the lamps emit a faint, restrained light, but at night they radiate a warm, yellow glow.
The mountain-protecting formation was not fully activated; only a layer of pale blue light rippled around the mountain gate. A gentle breeze would cause tiny ripples to spread across it. The spiritual light was restrained and not ostentatious, yet it was enough to ward off ordinary demons and Rogue Cultivator cultivators.
Compared to before, the mountain gate now has the aura of a celestial being.
Li Yunjing silently chanted "upgrade" in his mind.
[Mountain Gate (lv6)]
[Current effect: Warning range increased by eighty feet, enhanced spiritual light, and comes with a soul-shaking effect, effective on cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage.]
It can unleash a soul-shaking impact, obliterating cultivators who forcibly break into the mountain gate; it is only effective against cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection.
In conjunction with the sect's protective formation, it connects with the clouds and mist to create a maze, forming Spiritual Qi barrier to protect the Luozhen Sect.
By drawing upon the Spirit Vein of the Luozhen Sect and channeling Spiritual Qi through the sect's protective array, the Spiritual Qi concentration within the Luozhen Sect's territory Luozhen Sect by 20%.
[By sharing the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi with the Sect Grand Hall, it produces 300 units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi per month, Sect Grand Hall increases its monthly production of Pure Spiritual Qi energy by 20 units.]
[Level 7 Spiritual Effect: Increases warning range by 100 zhang, enhances spiritual light, and adds a soul-shaking effect. It is most effective against Middle Golden Core cultivators.]
It can unleash a soul-shaking impact, obliterating cultivators who forcibly break into the mountain gate; it is most effective against cultivators in the Middle Golden Core.
In conjunction with the sect's protective formation, it connects with the clouds and mist to create a maze, forming Spiritual Qi barrier to protect the Luozhen Sect.
By drawing upon the Spirit Vein of the Luozhen Sect and channeling Spiritual Qi through the sect's protective array, the Spiritual Qi concentration within the Luozhen Sect's territory Luozhen Sect by 30%.
Together with the Sect Grand Hall, it absorbs the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, producing 500 units of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi per month. The amount of Pure Spiritual Qi produced by the Sect Grand Hall per month increases by 30 units.
[Monthly +5% chance to trigger "Mountain Gate Blessing", granting all disciples of the sect a "Soul Defense +20%" effect (lasts one month).]
[Earth Vein Spiritual Qi: Can only be used to alter the environment of heaven and earth.]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 piece of Grade 4 Azure Stone, 5 taels of Grade 4 Mystic Void Sand.]
After upgrading the mountain gate, Li Yunjing opened the system space.
Within the system space, there are already 1,400 strands of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi.
These earth vein spiritual energies can be used to change the environment of heaven and earth. Li Yunjing wanted to transform Luozhen Sect into a blessed land, so he kept the earth vein spiritual energies stored away and did not use them.
Now that he had accumulated so much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Li Yunjing was also curious about how this Earth Vein Spiritual Qi would change the environment.
Instead of just daydreaming, why not try it out yourself?
With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing took out all the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi from the system space.
At that moment, a notification box suddenly appeared.
[Overflowing Earth Vein Spiritual Qi detected. Please select a location to use it.]
The next moment, a holographic map of Serene Valley appeared in front of Li Yunjing.
Only Li Yunjing could see this; the map marked every place, big and small, in Serene Valley.
Li Yunjing can also zoom in on the map to view a specific location.
Looking at the holographic map before him, Li Yunjing thought for a moment and decided to use the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi within the area of the Luozhen Sect.
[Please select the quantity.]
After a moment's thought, Li Yunjing decided to test the waters with one hundred strands.
One hundred strands of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi disappeared, but nothing changed.
Li Yunjing frowned. Could it be that the quantity was insufficient?
With this in mind, Li Yunjing decided to increase his investment.
Li Yunjing used another hundred strands of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, but there was still no change.
Li Yunjing gritted his teeth, refusing to believe that continuing to invest would bring no change whatsoever.
Continuing to use the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi, soon only 400 strands of the 1,400 Earth Vein Spiritual Qi remained, and Li Yunjing poured in a full 1,000 strands.
And finally, changes occurred on that holographic map.
[Blessed Land Spirit Foundation Formation in progress... It is estimated that the Blessed Land Spirit Foundation will be formed within one year. Please continue to invest Earth Vein Spiritual Qi to ensure successful formation of the Blessed Land Spirit Foundation.]
Upon seeing this line of text, Li Yunjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This proves that Li Yunjing's conjecture was correct; it is indeed possible to transform a place into a blessed land using the spiritual energy of the earth's veins.
The Blessed Land Spiritual Foundation is the basis; with this, the Luozhen Sect has the prerequisite to become a blessed land.
"Continue investing. I wonder if 500 strands a month will be enough. It seems we need to continue upgrading the mountain gate to produce more Earth Vein Spiritual Qi..."
As he thought about it, Li Yunjing poured the remaining four hundred strands of Earth Vein Spiritual Qi into it; there was no need to save any.
Filled with anticipation, Li Yunjing decided to go to the clinic for a checkup.
The medical clinic was a building that Li Yunjing had wanted to build for a long time.
Afterwards, Li Yunjing obtained the Mystic Compassion Stele, a fourth-grade magic Law Treasure, and then had the craftsmen build a medical clinic with the Mystic Compassion Stele as its core.
Judging by the timeline, the medical center should be completed by the end of the construction period.
Sure enough, when Li Yunjing arrived at the location of the clinic, a brand-new building stood there.
[A new building eligible for upgrades has been detected. Add it to the upgrade list?]
When the long-unseen text appeared before Li Yunjing, Li Yunjing naturally agreed immediately.
[Medical Clinic (lv0)]
[Current effect: None]
[Level 1 Effect: Disciple's healing speed increased by 25%, and recovery time from serious injuries reduced by 40%.]
[Additional effect: Automatically releases "Mystic Compassion Spring Breeze" once daily, covering all disciples, increasing the recovery speed of all physical aspects by 50%.]
[Upgrade Requirements: 1 First-Rank Physician, 20 Low-Grade Spirit Stone Stones.]
"The added spiritual effects... it seems to be due to the Mystic Compassion Stele," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
After all, the medical clinic was built around the Mystic Compassion Stele, so it's reasonable that its additional spiritual effects are related to the Mystic Compassion Stele.
This additional spiritual effect truly surprised Li Yunjing; the recovery speed could actually increase by fifty percent.
This means that disciples of the Luozhen Sect can cultivate at full intensity without worrying about the strain on their bodies.
"It's a fourth-grade Law Treasure after all, so it's normal for it to have this ability. If the effect is weak, then what kind of fourth-grade Law Treasure is it..." Li Yunjing muttered to himself.
