Chapter 142: Tian Jing and His Siblings
In Baishi Town, there are various terrains, and the valleys are countless. This time, Yun Ye chose a very hidden valley, which is very low in terrain, surrounded by forests, and even has no water source. Essentially, it is an unmonitored wilderness.
Leading twenty-five people through the forest, they arrived at the entrance of the hidden valley, where the guards from the Tomorrow Society immediately bowed and said, “Young master, you’re back so early?”
“Today, I encountered some citizens in need of rescue, so I ended the search early,” Yun Ye replied, waving his hand. “Everyone, follow me in. We have just begun to develop this area and need your help.”
The twenty-five ordinary citizens looked nervous but quickly followed along.
After passing through the small path in the valley, everything suddenly opened up.
Neat fields and houses appeared in view, and they even saw a small pond.
In an instant, the twenty-five citizens were filled with joy. They had initially thought the environment would be terrible and would require time to manage, but they never expected it to be organized to such perfection; it felt like a paradise!
Indeed, developing this area is challenging due to various poisonous insects and inconveniences, but with the assistance of the Tomorrow Society and Spiritual Law masters, these issues were no longer significant.
For example, the Wood Spiritual Law master can work magic that completely transforms the valley.
Any poisonous insects would be filtered out by the Spiritual Law plant network before entering the valley, and even if there were any leaks, the threat was greatly reduced.
With these prerequisites in place, construction and development began to progress steadily within the valley.
As the twenty-five citizens, excluding the children, naturally threw themselves into work, they integrated seamlessly into the community.
In this small area, the Tomorrow Society’s members were responsible for management and overall planning, keeping everything in order. However, many people still needed to contribute through hands-on work.
Only fifteen people came this time, including three Spiritual Law masters and two management professionals. The remaining ten were skilled craftsmen who mastered various techniques.
These craftsmen quickly organized the valley and built houses with the assistance of the Spiritual Law masters.
Yun Ye was very satisfied with their work; this was the greatest wealth left from the Water Calamity Farm period.
Once Yun Ye saw the citizens completely integrate, he led Ning Xiao and the three others into the Secret Realm.
Ning Xiao is a Metal Spiritual Root reviver, while the other two are Cheng Cang, a Wood Spiritual Root reviver, and Chai Xin, an Earth Spiritual Root reviver.
They came at Yun Ye’s request to assist in experiments and see if they could accelerate the growth of the Secret Realm’s herbs.
“This herb has already had its potency for one hundred fifty years?” Ning Xiao was continuously astonished; it had only been three days!
“If the Spiritual Law works, it will grow even faster,” Yun Ye said.
Ning Xiao and the other two exchanged glances and nodded, getting pumped and a little anxious.
Immediately, the three of them activated their Spiritual Law, fully amplifying the growth speed of the herbs.
The Metal Spiritual Law and Earth Spiritual Law served as auxiliary powers, while the Wood Spiritual Law was the main force.
Yun Ye observed the growth speed from the side.
Then he saw the acceleration multiply by ten thousand… then drop to nine thousand!
After a while, the three realized that it seemed ineffective and directly awakened their Spiritual Roots to enhance the growth.
As a result, the acceleration started to fall drastically, halving from nine thousand to four thousand and even lower.
Yun Ye activated the Eye of Invisible Light to observe for a while, then called out, “Stop. It seems that regular Spiritual Laws cannot continue accelerating.”
The three looked at each other, retracting their powers.
Cheng Cang said, “My Wood Spiritual Law seems to have had no effect at all…”
Ning Xiao and Chai Xin nodded. When they used their Spiritual Laws, they felt a great sense of discomfort.
They not only failed to accelerate the growth but instead slowed down the Spiritual Herbs!
“The Secret Realm can speed up the growth of Spiritual Herbs because it gathers the spirit energy of the entire space for infusion.”
“While the Wood Element Spiritual Law has a similar effect, the spirit energy extracted comes from this space. The more energy you take, the less there is for the Secret Realm to use, leading to the opposite effect,” Yun Ye explained.
With the law of wood backing the Secret Realm, the efficiency of spirit energy usage naturally exceeds that of ordinary cultivators.
“It seems it’s impossible to accelerate further… Wait, does this mean that as long as there is a denser spirit energy environment, we can continue to enhance growth without using our Spiritual Laws?” Ning Xiao quickly realized. This was good news!
The Wood Element Spiritual Law requires manual maintenance, while a rich spirit energy environment infuses itself automatically!
“Indeed, but we don’t have control over a spirit vein. We can only think about it after taking Baishi Town,” said Yun Ye.
“Baishi Town is already closed off; no one should be in Hongshan now,” Ning Xiao replied urgently.
Yun Ye shook his head. “I went to check; there aren’t any people, but there are formations covering the area. If we go in, we will definitely be discovered.”
Ning Xiao fell silent, letting out a sigh of regret.
The depths of Hongshan are the most abundant area for spirit energy in Baishi Town, and since they cannot go there, other places won’t matter.
“Then we must wait until we find a spirit vein!”
…
Yun Ye continued to search for any survivors. As he gained experience, he began to have some successes every few days, and the number of people at the Tomorrow Society base kept increasing.
This effort lasted for about half a month, and Yun Ye’s greatest gain was a family of three siblings.
When Yun Ye found them, all three were on the brink of starvation, having collapsed in the forest.
If they hadn’t encountered Yun Ye, they would not have lasted much longer and would have closed their eyes in a daze.
These three ordinary siblings, once Yun Ye brought them back to Tomorrow Village, opened their attribute panels just after a few days of interaction, revealing their high trust in Yun Ye.
This was not surprising; most ordinary villagers also unlocked their attribute panels after living in safety for a few days.
The reason this was considered the greatest gain was mainly due to the siblings’ talents, all of which were above average.
Especially the eldest brother, Tian Jing, whose Spiritual Roots talent was an A+ level.
An A+ level, although in Baishi Town, it has already touched the threshold of special Spiritual Roots…
Unfortunately, Tian Jing did not possess a special Spiritual Root; he merely enhanced his attributes significantly above the B-level.
His Spiritual Root attributes were roughly as follows:
Attributes: Fire, Earth
Completeness: Fire (50%), Earth (45%)
Spirit Energy Manipulation: Fire (1000%), Earth (1000%)
The last item is not intuitive, but for comparison, Yun Ye’s spirit energy manipulation is: Fire (200%), Water (200%).
In other words, at the same level, in terms of Spiritual Roots completeness and spirit energy manipulation, Tian Jing’s displayed power of Spiritual Law is about ten times that of Yun Ye.
Without a doubt, this is a genius hard to find even among aristocratic families!
Especially since his brother and sister also have talents above B-level, the whole family is gifted.
Seeing this situation, Yun Ye couldn’t help but marvel; it’s like being offered a pillow when one is sleepy.
He was still thinking about whom to pass the Perfect Spirit to…
But there was no need to hesitate.
These three children were the right choices; they held great hatred for the aristocratic families. United, they had the strength to become leaders of the Tomorrow Society. Even if they eventually became corrupt, they would elevate the Tomorrow Society to new heights and change Yun Ye’s precarious situation!
