Chapter 248: A Spirit Land of His Own
The refined man smiled and said, "I am Xu Yue, the Summit Master of the San Cai branch. Xiang Ying, it is truly an honor for our San Cai branch to have you chosen. I also thank my friend Fenggong for his protection; without you, we might not be in such a good mood today. Please have a seat!"
"This is my duty and not worth thanking," Fenggong Yuan replied.
"Similarly, Summit Master, you flatter me. It is my honor to enter the San Cai branch," Yun Ye said.
After the pleasantries, the two took their seats.
"When I earlier visited my master, he already knew about this. I thought it was a special case, but I didn’t expect Summit Master Xu to know so quickly," Yun Ye remarked.
"Oh, so Xiang Ying wasn’t aware? That is quite a unique point about our Spirit Sect," Xu Yue explained.
Nearby, the daoist man poured tea for the three, doing it by hand without using Spiritual Law.
"Please enjoy the tea," the daoist man said before stepping aside.
Yun Ye smiled and nodded at him, then turned to Xu Yue and said, "Summit Master, regarding Fenggong’s Grand Law, I am merely a junior, so you can just call me Xiang Ying. Since I have just arrived at the Spirit Sect, many things are still unclear to me. I would be grateful to consult with you, esteemed seniors."
"Then let’s skip the formalities," both men laughed.
"I indeed hadn’t mentioned this before, mainly because I got used to it. I didn’t think about it much, but you’ve reminded me of a lot," Fenggong Yuan said.
"Indeed, ordinary matters are often overlooked; it’s no fault of my friend Fenggong," Xu Yue agreed.
Xu Yue stroked the tea cup, causing clouds of steam to rise, wafting a delightful fragrance. He enjoyed a deep breath and continued, "Actually, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect has a special way of conveying messages, similar to a spiritual network that envelops the sect. This is a command system built upon super spirit veins."
"In times of war, as long as you carry a token, you can transmit messages throughout the entire Huangzhou region. In such cases, your highly regarded Qushuang Elder’s eighth disciple wouldn’t be able to hide anything."
"Warfare? Speaking of warfare, it seems a prominent figure has recently emerged from the Demon Sect…" Fenggong Yuan fell into deep thought, his mind drifting elsewhere.
"That is still quite far off. The last major war ended less than a hundred years ago, so it shouldn’t explode so quickly. Come, drink some tea. This is tea made from the Wind Trees, which is said to help enhance comprehension," Xu Yue said, raising his cup.
"True. It’s more important to savor the rumored three-patterned Wind Tree tea," Fenggong Yuan replied, lifting his cup as well.
Yun Ye, upon hearing this, felt a shift in expression and raised his own cup to drink.
He discovered a fascinating experience erupting from his heart; his comprehension seemed to truly change!
To be precise, his thinking speed had increased, shifting toward multi-threaded thinking.
This didn’t aid creativity but was of great help for practical learning and application of formations and Spiritual Law.
A vivid example would be that his mind felt like it was evolving into a computer.
The Wind Tree truly was a treasure of a tree.
After that, the group talked for a long time, hearing many interesting stories and rules about the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, which helped Yun Ye clarify his impressions of the sect.
As dusk approached, Yun Ye left a communication token and took his leave; he needed to set up his own Spirit Land.
"If there are urgent matters, you can send a message to Fenggong’s Main Vein, and I will gladly offer my assistance," Fenggong Yuan said before departing.
Once down the mountain, Xiang Qingrou and the others hurried forward and asked, "Heir, how did it go?"
"The Summit Master is very wise. It looks like our cultivation will be much easier from now on," Yun Ye replied.
The three of them immediately felt relieved. Although the chances of being put in a difficult position as Qushuang’s disciple were low, there were always some who considered themselves extraordinary; who could know if they would run into such a person?
Yun Ye took out his token and began to filter through the Spirit Land using its guidance.
The branch Summit Master manages a Spirit Mountain, and this mountain is clearly not small by human standards.
Even as spiritual realm cultivators, Yun Ye and the others spent considerable effort just to traverse most of the area.
After extensive discussions, everyone returned to one particular area.
What made this area special was a great river.
The water was clear and flowed ceaselessly, with a mist of spirit energy rising high into the air, making it an excellent spiritual river.
Irrigating the spiritual herbs with the river’s water was more effective than using water from Spiritual Law rains, and could match the effects of the Wood Element Spiritual Law.
Choosing a location with a spiritual river, backed by the Xiang Family’s experience in growing spiritual herbs, meant that cultivating the herbs would go smoothly, becoming a continuous source of wealth in the future.
This spiritual river often flooded, so there were long riverbanks built to contain it, adorned with rows of Wind Trees and abundant red spiritual herbs, all to stabilize the riverbanks.
The group stood on the riverbank, gazing out over the area.
Not far from the great river, a massive complex came into view, bustling with many ordinary people living within.
As a place of Spirit Mountain, there were almost no demons or monsters here, making it very suitable for human habitation, which naturally led to a significant population of ordinary people.
These ordinary people were all servants of the Spirit Land’s master and had to obey the orders of the cave master unconditionally.
Yun Ye had chosen a top-tier Spirit Land, second only to Cangqing Mountain, and the nearby ordinary county town had developed remarkably well.
With his Spirit Sense sweeping over the area, he could easily tell that every ordinary person possessed exceptional talent, having been specially selected. Curious, he asked a few questions, and it just so happened that Xiang Qingrou knew the answer.
"The reason the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect does not allow the heir to bring too many attendants is to intentionally help the heir cultivate ‘local talents.’ They are not only more talented but also more obedient."
"Since a thousand years ago, the ordinary people here have undergone generations of selection. Now, they possess the most outstanding and stable bloodlines among ordinary people, making their offspring’s talents highly consistent—excellent servants and sources of soldiers," Xiang Qingrou explained.
As for how stable they were, Yun Ye used a magical tool to check and found that almost no one had E-level talent; nearly everyone was around D-level, with a few exceptions reaching C-level.
C-level talent from the Huangzhou region could already be considered genius-level, and they had great potential for development!
The majority of the Xiang Family did not achieve C-level; even Xiang Qingrou’s Spirit Law talent was only B-level.
The value of these ordinary people was immense; as long as they were exploited, anyone could do well as the cave master.
"Then this is the place," Yun Ye declared.
"We will follow the heir’s decision," Xiang Qingrou and the others were quite satisfied with this Spirit Land, as it was the conclusion they had reached after much discussion, and it was certainly a joy for everyone to have their opinion acknowledged.
Having decided on the Spirit Land’s location, Yun Ye took out the token to mark it. With a shift of information, it was effortlessly done, and he became the owner of this Spirit Land.
The token was built from Spirit Law, allowing for direct transmission of information, and Yun Ye saw the entire map of the Spirit Land from it.
"Wow, it’s this big?"
