Chapter 339: Formation Completion, Cultivating the Spirit Field
Chapter 339: Formation Completion, Cultivating the Spirit Field
September 12, 2024
"Finally, it's all refined."
In the Half-Mountain Courtyard, Lu Qing looked at the numerous Law Pillars before him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled.
Even with his formidable Divine Soul Power, after several consecutive days of continuous refinement of various array objects, he still felt mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, through this high-intensity continuous refinement, he also felt that his mind and spirit had been significantly honed.
His control over the Divine Soul Power had become even more exquisite, and he considered it a worthwhile achievement.
With a wave of his hand, the Law Pillars on the ground flew up once more, transforming into streams of light.
Most of the Law Pillars descended towards Nine Li Village below, while the remaining ones landed around the small mountain where the Half-Mountain Courtyard was located, sinking into the ground.
Seventy-two Law Pillars sank into the ground, corresponding with the previous thirty-six pillars.
They formed array nodes, connecting and intertwining their Qi Flows.
Instantly, an extraordinary phenomenon occurred in Nine Li Village.
A faint array glow emerged from the edge of the village, then slowly faded, disappearing into the ground.
Next, wisps of thin mist drifted through the village.
The village seemed to take on an ethereal quality.
After the previous experience, the villagers were no longer alarmed and understood that Lu Qing was up to something again.
Of course, they were still curious.
One villager, seeing a wisp of mist floating nearby, reached out and grabbed it out of curiosity.
The white mist turned into a strand of water vapor and fell into the villager's hand.
The next moment, the villager felt a coolness that refreshed his spirit.
Not only did it invigorate him, but it also dispelled his inner agitation, and he even felt his body becoming lighter.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Young Master Lu, this mist seems to have some hidden mystery to it?"
The Half-Mountain Courtyard was also enveloped in mist.
Sensing the commotion, Wei Shanhai rushed to the mountain and caught a wisp of mist, his eyes revealing astonishment.
From this wisp of mist, he sensed something extraordinary.
"Elder Wei's insight is like a blazing torch. This mist contains vitality, which is highly beneficial to the human body.
By staying within the array for an extended period, nourished by this vitality mist, one can strengthen their body, reduce illnesses, and prolong life."
Lu Qing explained with a smile.
"This is truly amazing!"
Wei Shanhai looked at the mist in his hand. Indeed, he felt a hint of vitality within it.
Although it was faint, one could imagine that if one were to be nourished by this vitality mist for a long time, it would have significant benefits for the body.
Looking at the mist floating in Nine Li Village below and the curious villagers touching it, Wei Shanhai's gaze became unreadable.
These villagers probably didn't realize how great a benefit they had received.
Setting aside other things, just the nourishing effect of this vitality mist was something even the royal nobles in the capital would find hard to enjoy.
He believed that if word of the mist's effects got out, countless people would be clamoring to come here.
"Young Master Lu, did you set up this array to help the villagers improve their health?" Wei Shanhai asked.
"Of course not. The vitality mist is just a byproduct of the array. As for its other functions, the array has just been completed, and the accumulated power is not yet sufficient to demonstrate it to you, Elder Wei." Lu Qing explained.
After expending so much energy to set up the array, it was natural that it wasn't just for the purpose of gathering this small amount of vitality mist.
As a simplified version of the Flamefire Sect's Grand Array for protecting the sect, it would be a joke if it only had this function.
"The Immortal Way's methods are truly awe-inspiring."
Hearing Lu Qing's words, Wei Shanhai wasn't bothered; instead, he felt amazed.
At the same time, his heart yearned even more for the path of cultivation.
Unfortunately, although he had been continuously pondering the cultivation techniques Lu Qing had given him these past few days, he had only managed to grasp a small thread of understanding.
It would still take quite some time before he could truly enter the path.
Seeing the joyful villagers below, Lu Qing's heart also felt a sense of relief.
With the array now complete, it would be difficult for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and below to infiltrate the village without being detected by his senses.
As for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and above...
Not to mention that there were hardly any such powerful cultivators in the entire world, but even if one did come to Nine Li Village, they probably wouldn't lower themselves to engage in stealthy actions.
With this, the village finally had some guarantee of safety.
As the villagers rejoiced, Lu Qing stood up and made his way to the spirit field behind the cottage.
The formation he had set up this time also encompassed the Half-Mountain Cottage.
Therefore, the Earth Energy in this area was even denser than usual.
Especially in the spirit field, it was even more so.
The Earth Energy was so dense that the thousand-year-old ginseng living there was so delighted it almost started rolling around.
Even when it saw Lu Qing approaching, it didn't hide underground but instead shook the leaves on its top, greeting him.
It was worth noting that the thousand-year-old ginseng usually didn't give Lu Qing a good time.
It still remembered how Lu Qing had caught it in the past.
It both feared and disliked this big troublemaker.
Lu Qing was a bit surprised by the ginseng's friendliness.
However, he didn't have time to play with this little thing.
He took out several crystal-clear jade steles from the Heaven-Earth Primordial Qi Bag, each inscribed with mysterious talismans.
These were the jade steles that Lu Qing had recast from some of the jade stones Wei Da Manager had sent over during his free time while refining the Law Pillar over the past few days.
Lu Qing measured the area around the spirit field, carefully selecting the nodes before placing each jade stele in position.
As the last stele was set in place, an invisible ripple seemed to pass through the surrounding space.
The already dense Earth Energy on the mountain began to slowly converge towards the spirit field.
Even the Spirit Qi in the surrounding space was drawn out, strand by strand, and merged into the spirit field.
"Young Master, are you refining these Spirit Convergence Steles to cultivate a Spirit Field?"
"Yan" sensed this and asked through a sound transmission.
Over the past few days, as it slowly absorbed the Celestial Iron given by Lu Qing, "Yan"'s true spirit had recovered significantly.
Even with the simultaneous task of refining the Law Pillar, it was still more than capable.
"Indeed, although Spirit Qi has revived, it's uncertain when the Heaven-Touched Treasures will grow.
Since that's the case, it's better to cultivate some Spirit Materials first, which might give us a head start."
Lu Qing nodded in agreement.
"Your idea is excellent."
"Yan" praised, "The revival of Spirit Qi also requires time to nurture formidable Heaven-Touched Treasures.
In the Ancient Cultivation Era, many top-tier cultivation sects seized the initiative at the beginning of the Spirit Qi Revival, taking one step ahead and then continuing to stay ahead.
By preemptively occupying and dominating vast resources, they gradually developed into powerful sects.
Only by preparing in advance can one have sufficient strength to seize the opportunity when it truly arrives."
"I have no interest in developing a power base," Lu Qing shook his head, "But I've offended quite a few factions, so it's necessary to make the necessary preparations."
Lu Qing was speaking the truth; he wasn't interested in starting a sect.
Managing a sect often required a lot of mental effort.
It would be better to use that energy to focus on seclusion and improving his cultivation.
"Yan" remained silent, as over the past few days, it had also noticed something.
Lu Qing didn't seem to be the type with a strong desire for power.
On the contrary, this young man had a carefree personality.
He was nonchalant about many things and had a peaceful temperament.
Even the ordinary villagers in the village below could tease him at any time, and he not only didn't get angry but also went to the trouble of setting up formations to protect them.
Compared to the ruthlessness he had shown when threatening himself and refining Old Devil Chen, he seemed like a completely different person.
This contradictory personality and behavior made "Yan" even more cautious of Lu Qing.
The more it observed, the less it could understand this young man.
With the placement of the Spirit Convergence Steles, the Earth Energy around the spirit field became even denser.
Additionally, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was also gathering towards it.
The thousand-year-old ginseng felt all of this and became even happier.
The few leaves on its top started dancing.
Just as Lu Qing was carefully cultivating the Spirit Field on Half-Mountain Cottage, the Provincial Capital City welcomed some uninvited guests.
