61 Chapter 61-opening a branch base!

Lu Qing felt that he had left his body for too long this time. He was almost at his limit.

Originally, a round trip to the water Ghost Lake would take a day and a night. Lu Qing had calculated the time and arrived just before the battle. He watched the battle and waited for Lu chaoxi to take the yin-essence water Jade. He was supposed to go back, but when he found this underground spirit stream, he couldn’t help but go down to investigate the Suan ni.

If he did not replenish his karma, he would definitely not be able to return.

Fortunately, he did not use the expensive exchange item, the power of initial enlightenment, in today’s battle. In addition, he had gained more than 400 karma after killing the water ghosts. He had enough to spend.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he flew towards the upper reaches of the spirit stream.

He wanted to find the source of the spirit stream.

The amazing thing was that the more he flew, the lower he went.

This spirit stream actually flowed from low to high!

Lu Qing was slightly surprised, but that was all. In this world, there were many places that could not be understood using the common sense of his previous life on Earth. Under the influence of spiritual energy, spiritual Qi, and immortal spells, anything could happen.

He continued to float along the spirit stream for an entire day. After replenishing his karma once, he still could not find the source. The lower they went, the denser the spiritual Qi became. After flying for a day, the water spiritual Qi that was emitted from the spiritual stream had almost reached the level of a level four spiritual heritage. When Lu Qing was alive, the Yuyan mountain that he had personally cultivated only had a level-four spirit vein.

However, even so, this was still not the source, and there were no signs of new things happening. The density of the spiritual energy had been slowly increasing, and no one knew how far this spirit stream, which was buried deep underground, flowed.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qing had no choice but to stop.

He still had to go back.

As a golden core cultivator when he was alive, he was naturally not worried that he would get lost or lose his way back. However, he was only a spiritual body and could not leave Yuyan mountain for too long. If he was too far away, he would spend too much spiritual power for no reason.

He could only leave with regret.

He estimated the time and distance. It had been almost two days since he left the mountain. He estimated that it would take at least two more days to return. In total, he had been out for four days. 14 karma had been lost just like that.

But it wasn’t too much of a loss.

Not to mention the secret in the depths of the spirit stream, just the current discovery was already a huge fortune.

There must be some secrets hidden in the depths of the spirit stream. From Lu Qing’s point of view, it was very likely that it was an unexplored paradise that no one knew about.

If he could continue to explore, he would definitely be able to obtain huge benefits, which would be far more valuable than a piece of Yin-essence water Jade. Lu Qing even believed that this piece of Yin-essence water Jade might have been gradually formed by Ling Xi over thousands of years.

He was very interested in this. If he was still alive, he would definitely continue to explore.

However, it was obvious that the current Lu clan did not have the capital to explore this secret land. Even if they did, they would not be able to hold on to such a huge benefit.

Not to mention the deeper parts of the spirit stream, even the middle section of this underground spirit stream itself had a level four spirit vein.

Even if it was only a level four spirit Meridian, the current Lu family might not be able to defend it.

In that case, it would be better to let it be buried deep underground. In the future, when the Lu family became stronger and had the right to explore this secret, they would have to think deeper.

However, even now, there were still ways to make use of this underground spiritual stream.

Lu Qing had already thought it through on his way back to Yuyan mountain.

He had already found out the location of the spirit stream underground. Later on, he could dig a well next to the lake and connect it to the underground river. Then, he would think of some ways to draw water from it.

According to his estimation, when the time came, he would be next to the spirit well and use the water he drew to cultivate. Even if he counted the loss of the water after it left the spirit stream, it would at least be equivalent to the effect of cultivating at a level two Spirit vein.

In addition, the clan would have a deeper control over this spirit stream in the future. From opening a branch to the ground, it would nourish the area on the lakeshore. As time passed, the clan would be able to own a real spirit vein at a very small price.

Spirit veins were an extremely important resource for cultivators.

Cultivators needed spirit Qi for their cultivation. The conventional way to obtain spiritual Qi was to either refine it in the world or from spiritual stones.

For Qi refinement cultivators, they would need at least one Spirit stone a month to cultivate. When they reached Qi refinement Level 7 and above, they would need Two Spirit stones. This consumption standard was necessary to ensure that his cultivation progress was normal. If it was less than this number, not only would he not improve, but his cultivation might even regress.

If one didn’t use spirit stones to cultivate, they could only refine the spirit Qi of heaven and earth.

The spiritual Qi of heaven and earth could be found everywhere, but not every place was rich in it. The speed of extraction was too slow in an ordinary place, and it could not satisfy the cultivation of a cultivator.

Only spirit veins could support cultivation.

The so-called spirit vein was a place where natural spirit Qi gathered.

A level one Spirit vein was the most common, and it might even be found on some barren mountain. Many small families and rogue cultivators had no choice but to find a cave and cultivate there.

This kind of low-level spirit vein could only support the cultivation of Qi refining cultivators at most. If a foundation building cultivator wanted to maintain their cultivation, they would still need to use spirit stones. At least ten spirit stones a month, and over a year, they would need more than a hundred spirit stones. If the time dragged on, they would not be able to support it.

Therefore, foundation building cultivators had to find a level two Spirit vein.

However, an Ordinary Level two spiritual vein could only support the cultivation of a few foundation building cultivators. The exact number depended on the quality of the spiritual vein itself.

If they exceeded that, the foundation building cultivators would fight for spiritual energy, and none of them would be able to cultivate well. After reaching the upper limit of the spirit vein’s capacity, at best, he could bring along some other Qi cultivating cultivators and practice by smelling some exhaust.

When he reached the initial enlightenment stage, he would need a level three spiritual heritage.

However, it was easy to destroy a spirit vein. Once the heart of the vein was found, it would be over once it exploded.

Yuyan mountain used to have a level-four spirit vein. During the battle with the Zhao clan, the core of the spirit vein was attacked by spells in the battle and was greatly damaged. It dropped to level two, but it was still a high-quality level two Spirit vein, so it could barely support four foundation building cultivators.

However, nurturing them was too difficult.

If Yuyan mountain wanted to advance to the third level, it would need to invest at least 50000 spiritual stones as the cost of cultivation.

Not only did it cost a lot of spirit stones, but it would also take at least a hundred years to grow.

It was a waste of time and money.

However, high-level cultivators often needed a spirit vein. Otherwise, when they reached the initial enlightenment stage, they would need to spend one to two thousand spirit stones a year. In the cultivation of the great Dao, years were not a very long unit. It was not common for an initial enlightenment cultivator to go into seclusion for ten or twenty years. Without a spirit vein, a long period of closed-door cultivation to break through a realm would cost him ten to twenty thousand spirit stones. With the social status of an initial enlightenment cultivator, he could not afford such expenditure.

To cultivators, spiritual veins were a necessity, not to mention to clans and sects.

Now, the Lu family actually had to face this problem.

It was still fine before xueting reached the foundation establishment stage, but now, there were four Foundation establishment cultivators and fifty Qi refining cultivators in the clan. They had already exceeded the limit of the spirit vein on Yuyan mountain. The cultivation of the clan’s cultivators would definitely be affected.

Previously, Lu Qing was still having a headache over this matter. However, now that he had discovered the underground spirit stream, it could be said that he had come at the right time and resolved his urgent need.
