Sealing the Mine
Wondrous Sound House.
"Hehehe... You're so mean, Master!"
A girl dressed in a thin veil lay in Fang Yu's arms, gently peeling a grape, putting it in her mouth, and then feeding it to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu put his arm around the girl's waist, savoring the spiritual fruit that carried the fragrance of a young girl's lips, feeling exceptionally comfortable.
Having successfully cultivated three ' Golden Core Formation Pill ', it's only right to celebrate properly.
As they were eating, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then Zhuang Xian and Chen Cheng pushed the door open and came in.
"Greetings, Master!"
Fang Yu waved his hand, indicating that the two should sit wherever they wanted, then released the girl from his arms and let her leave.
After the door to the private room closed, Fang Yu looked at Zhuang Xian and asked, "Tell me, what kind of opportunity is this for achieving the Golden Core fortuitous opportunity?"
Zhuang Xian glanced at Chen Cheng subconsciously, hesitated slightly, and then said:
"According to the envoy, the location of the Cloud Spirit Sect's mountain gate was originally a branch of the High Antiquity sect ' Kunlun Sect.' There is a secret realm there that can be opened once every hundred years. Inside, there are various fortuitous opportunity the Golden Core, such as the ' Five Elements Fruit,' the main ingredient for Golden Core Formation Pill the Golden Core, as well as various precious auxiliary spirit medicine. It is because of this secret realm that the Cloud Spirit Sect has maintained its Golden Core inheritance. The reason why Mosquito Immortal City attacked the Cloud Spirit Sect is to seize this secret realm."
' Kunlun!'
Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and a travelogue he had read at the Dao of Qi Ingestion flashed through his mind, which recorded an ancient Daoist lineage called ' Mount Kunlun '.
It is said that he was the originator of ancient methods of cultivating immortality. At that time, Mount Longhu was just a small sect. Later, as new methods became popular, ancient methods of cultivating immortality gradually declined.
The Mount Kunlun thus disappeared into the long river of history.
Subsequently, Mount Longhu rose to prominence, becoming a prominent sect of Daoism, vigorously promoting new teachings, and ultimately becoming the ancestral home of Daoism and the source of all Daoist practices.
Zhuang Xian continued, "There are only ten years left until the next opening. If the shop owner is willing to join the Cloud Spirit Sect, Fairy Cloud Spirit can grant the shop owner a spot to enter."
Fang Yu laughed and said, "You think you can win me over with just a spot to enter the secret realm? That's far too insincere. Besides, I don't lack fortuitous opportunity to form my core. You can drive that envoy out of the market and tell him to go back and tell Fairy Cloud Spirit that if she wants to win me over, she should offer something substantial and not try to fool me with such empty platitudes."
Zhuang Xian immediately replied, "Yes, Your subordinate will immediately order someone to drive that messenger out."
Fang Yu turned to Chen Cheng, "A few days ago, I bought a map of a spirit mine in the market. I saw that the mine tunnels were like a maze, making it extremely inconvenient to enter and exit. Moreover, it was easy for demons to breed and evil spirits to hide there. Therefore, I decided to close the mine and build a Daoist temple, leveling the maze-like mine tunnels. This will make it easier for miners to enter and exit in the future, and you will be able to manage it better."
"Ah! Closing the mines for cultivation?" Chen Cheng was slightly taken aback, then quickly said, "What the workshop master says is absolutely right. The mine tunnels are indeed like a maze these days, and miners often report that cultivators are lying in ambush, attacking others, Bandit Cultivator. It really should be cleaned up properly. However, the daily output of spirit ore is quite considerable. If it's closed, we won't be able to mine the expected Spirit Stone this year."
"It's alright!" Fang Yu laughed. "It doesn't matter if we dig a little less. After the cleanup, the production of Spirit Stone will definitely rebound, and the losses will be greatly reduced. Go and explain to the guards of those families that this is my idea. If they have any objections, let them come and explain to me in person."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng immediately replied, "Yes!"
Fang Yu then discussed with the two the specific measures for sealing off the mine, the timing, and the countermeasures for dealing with all parties during this period. After forming a complete plan, he instructed the two to implement it immediately.
*****
The next day.
At the main entrance of Ling Mine, teams of market enforcement officers began to gather.
The spirit mine also issued a notice announcing the closure of the mine and prohibiting new miners from entering. At the same time, the Law Enforcement Team began to go deep into the mining area and invited out all the cultivators still in the mine.
Immediately, complaints filled the market, with many miners lamenting that the mine closure had prevented them from continuing to mine.
However, all they could do was complain. Faced with the menacing teams of Law Enforcement Team, no one dared to take any real action.
Within a month, all the miners in the mine were asked to leave, leaving the entire mining area empty.
Fang Yu then arrived at the entrance to the spirit mine and instructed Chen Cheng to guard the entrance. No one was allowed to enter the mining area without his order, and anyone who disobeyed would be killed without mercy.
Although Chen Cheng had some doubts about Fang Yu entering the mine alone instead of directly expanding the mine tunnels as previously stated, he did not ask any further questions. He directly ordered the Law Enforcement Team to seal off the entire mining area and activated the mining area's grand formation, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering the mining area.
Fang Yu transformed into a streak of light and fled into the depths of the mine. Following the latest mine map, he arrived at the deepest part of the spirit mine.
Sensing the rich Spiritual Qi here, Fang Yu took a deep breath and spread his Divine Thought outwards, causing array flags to fly towards various mine tunnels.
He quickly set up a Spirit Gathering Formation.
As the Spirit Gathering Formation operates, the Spiritual Qi within the mine is continuously drawn in, causing the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy in the mine to rise steadily, gradually forming a spiritual mist.
"The Spiritual Qi concentration has reached the third level, which should be enough to support my breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm!"
Fang Yu sealed off the spirit mine not to build a mining tunnel, but to create a third-tier Spiritual Qi environment.
In this Western Extremity, third-order Spirit Vein are rare. The only known third-order Spirit Vein are those of the Cloud Spirit Sect, the Yellow Sand Sect, and the Heavenly Strategy Manor Mansion. Even the location of Mosquito Immortal City only has one second-order high-grade Spirit Vein.
As for how Mosquito Immortal City managed to cultivate two Golden Core cultivators using only a second-tier Spirit Vein, Fang Yu had no idea.
Now, if he wants to break through to the Golden Core Realm, his only option is to target this mid-grade spirit mine.
This is also a major reason why he took the risk.
After all, setting up Spirit Gathering Formation here would allow for a continuous absorption of Spiritual Qi from the spirit mine, which is equivalent to using mid-grade Spirit Stone to create a third-tier Spiritual Qi environment.
This will definitely have a huge impact on the entire spirit mine, causing the quality of the spirit ore to decline, turning medium-grade spirit ore into low-grade, or even into useless waste rock.
But Fang Yu didn't care. As long as he could form his core, he didn't care if he ruined the mine.
With a flick of his hand, a tea table and cushion appeared in the cave. He sat down cross-legged, brewed a pot of tea, and slowly drank it. By the time he finished the pot of tea, the cave was completely filled with spiritual mist.
Fang Yu put down his teacup, closed his eyes, and began circulating the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to adjust his physical and mental state.
In the blink of an eye, March has passed.
Suddenly, a jade bottle flew out of the Storage Bag at Fang Yu's waist, and a Golden Core Formation Pill flew out of the jade bottle and fell into his mouth.
The golden Golden Core Formation Pill of a longan, melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a potent medicinal power that surged throughout his meridians. The next moment, the Spiritual Qi within the cave rushed into his body through his pores, forming a vortex of Spiritual Qi in the blink of an eye.
As time passed, the vortex continued to expand, desperately absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the entire spirit mine. At the same time, the array patterns of the Spirit Gathering Formation lit up and operated at full power, drawing Spiritual Qi from the depths of the mine.
