Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 283 0282: The Second Ruins——
【Earth Spirit Pearl】

Introduction: The Earth Spirit Pearl is an earth-based spiritual pearl made by using the power of the heaven and earth environment through a sophisticated formation. It is not a treasure that is born naturally. It contains extremely abundant earth-based spiritual power. It takes a hundred years to reach the first grade and a thousand years to take shape. Once the Earth Spirit Pearl is completely condensed, it can continuously release earth-based spiritual power and can also automatically absorb spiritual power to restore itself. It can not only be used by immortal cultivators or monsters for cultivation, but also can be used in the refining and forging of formations and magic weapons. In addition, it can be combined with the other four spiritual pearls to construct an artificial spiritual vein through the five-element transformation formation.

Grade: Fifth Grade (unformed)
Restriction: Only applicable to the refining and forging of formation magic weapons below the fifth grade.

Points: 15 million

"Fuck!"

The first thing Cheng Zongyang paid attention to was the value of this thing. When he saw the final points displayed, he was full of surprise.

How could this thumb-sized object have such a high value?
But he was well aware of the cottage's usual practices. If this item, which was priced at 150,000 points, was put on consignment, the price could probably be increased by tens of thousands more.

But soon, his attention returned to the introduction of the Earth Spirit Pearl. When he saw the latter part mentioned that it could form an artificial spiritual vein, his eyes instantly lit up.

Doesn't this mean that someone is handing you a pillow just when you are dozing off?
If we could possess five types of spirit beads and place them in Yufeng Fairy City, then this place could truly be called a fairy city!

But when he thought of the huge amount of points, Cheng Zongyang immediately shook his head.

"A fifth-grade pill is worth hundreds of thousands, so a fully formed one would be worth millions. Five pills would cost more than five million. How many Red Blood Pills would I have to sell to get enough? Not to mention the matching magic array, which I guess wouldn't be cheap either."

Cheng Zongyang silently calculated in his mind, this must be at least 5 or 6 million points? With this amount of points, he didn't know how many items he could make to decorate the fairy city.

As for giving it to the mole beast to eat? He wasn't so generous as to do that. Even if he sold it on consignment, he could earn 170,000 or 180,000 points, which was enough to make a fortune.

He handed the Earth Spirit Pearl to Luo Dingran for inspection, and at the same time he climbed up the pit.

When he got outside and looked at the mountain of mud, Cheng Zongyang suddenly had an idea and took the spirit-testing instrument over to check it again.

It turned out that there was actually a lot of spiritual energy contained in the soil.

"Is this spiritual soil?"

Cheng Zongyang was stunned, then delighted. He quickly said to Luo Dingran, who was thinking behind him, "Don't waste this soil. Leave it here and let Zhang Jinquan and the others use it to grow spiritual medicine."

Luo Dingran, whose thoughts were interrupted, was puzzled at first after hearing Cheng Zongyang's words, but when he heard the last part about planting spiritual medicine, he guessed something and asked in surprise, "It has become spiritual soil?"

The spiritual soil purchased from the Yuzhongshi Market was stored separately by Zhang Jinquan for growing spiritual medicines and the like.

Although there is spiritual energy in this wilderness world, it is relatively thin. They don't know whether it is due to the geographical location here or the entire wilderness world is like this, but spiritual soil has basically not been discovered. Or in other words, they have not discovered it yet.

This is why they continue to need manpower.

"That's right." Cheng Zongyang nodded in affirmation, "The spiritual power level is generally low, but the core position should be medium, so it can be differentiated and utilized."

"Okay, I will arrange this properly. But sir, what are you going to do with this Earth Spirit Pearl?" Luo Dingran asked.

Cheng Zongyang asked back: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Luo Dingran shook his head and said, "I really can't give you any advice on this. Whether it's for personal cultivation, formations, or refining, it's an excellent choice. But we don't have the corresponding conditions at the moment. The only feasible option is to sell it."

Cheng Zongyang was stunned, then he laughed:
"You and I are thinking the same thing. The Earth Spirit Pearl is worth a lot of money, but we can't just sell it so easily, otherwise we'll feel like we're losing out.

You can try to purchase the other four types of spirit beads of the same quality and the matching formations when you have time, and see what the prices are.

Also, since there are earth-type spiritual beads in this world, it means that there are probably spiritual beads of the other four types. If we find such temples in the future, we may be able to discover them."

After listening to it, Luo Dingran nodded in agreement: "Your Excellency is right. I wonder if the second ruins also look like this."

Cheng Zongyang asked anxiously, "Is that place far from here?"

Luo Dingran shook his head. "Not far. Follow the river at the foot of the mountain and go up for about three miles. It is in a big river called Shanyang River. This river is the upper reaches of the Li River in our territory. We don't know where the source is. I don't know why the same river has two names."

At this point, Cheng Zongyang was quite surprised: "How could it be found in the water?"

Luo Dingran smiled and explained, "According to the report, several explorers went there to clean up after not taking a bath for two days. As a result, they happened to encounter a fish monster. They killed it together and unexpectedly found an underwater building. However, due to the turbulent water, they could not get close and the mining conditions were not good, so they put it aside for the time being and dealt with this relic first."

After hearing this, Cheng Zongyang immediately said, "Then let's go take a look first, and let them dig the rest of this place. By the way, how is the county town? Have they dug out anything useful?"

Hearing the latter sentence, Luo Dingran immediately said: "There are quite a few things. Apart from a lot of rotten ones, most of the rest have been sent to the fresh-keeping warehouse for preservation. At the same time, Ding Xing is also working on recording and translating some of the materials he has. Currently, Ding Xing has also found four assistants, and the progress is relatively fast."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "That's good."

Afterwards, the two of them immediately set off for the second site without having to teleport.

After about a cup of tea, the two followed the river northward and soon arrived at a shed at the entrance of a mountain forest. This was also a transit station.

Without entering the shed, he went to the river at Luo Dingran's signal.

Cheng Zongyang was attracted by the sound of the rushing river at first sight.

We arrived at the river, which was on the west bank. The terrain was steep at the bottom and gentle at the top, and the width of the river was about seventy or eighty meters.

At this time, Luo Dingran's voice pulled him back from observing his surroundings, and he heard him say:
"The expedition team took a bath upstream. They were dragged here by the strange beasts to fight. The underwater building was below them, built along the river wall and bottom.

This place should be the deepest point, about 50 meters deep. I have been down there before, and if it weren't for the help of something, I wouldn't be able to control my body to stand still in the water. There is indeed a formation there, and when I saw that place was protected by a formation before, I thought that there must be the same formation here. But the water is turbid, and I can't see what's inside. "

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, then said: "I'll go down and take a look, you wait here."

"Yes." Luo Dingran agreed. He couldn't help even if he went down.

Cheng Zongyang did not release the protective qi, but took out two grade daggers and slowly went down the river wall. Although he was a first-grade cultivator, he had no external objects to use as leverage in such a turbulent river, and would be washed away by the water. Therefore, he inserted the two daggers into the crane wall and dived step by step, and then used his adaptability to adapt to the environment under the river.

With the dagger as support, Cheng Zongyang instantly adapted to the impact intensity and turbid environment under the river after entering the water, so that he could see the environment under the river clearly.

Picking up speed, he soon reached the river bottom.

When Cheng Zongyang saw an ancient temple built against the river wall that was protected by a formation and isolated from the river, and saw the situation inside, his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Facing the center is a temple, but inside the temple are exactly the same statues!

At this moment, Cheng Zongyang frowned.

He continued to observe the rest of the interior and found that it was more complete than the temple on the mountainside.

Just outside the temple, there was a short statue guarding the door, with its back bent and its hands clasped.

However, the statue is covered with a robe-like mud robe, and its head and face cannot be seen from the outside. Only its feet and the extremely respectful bowing posture can be seen.

This situation made Cheng Zongyang feel even more strange. There was actually a gatekeeper?
But he couldn't break the formation here, and he couldn't break it. Otherwise, the rushing river water would instantly wash away everything inside.

After taking note of the situation inside, Cheng Zongyang quickly surfaced and returned to shore.

"Sir, what happened?" Luo Dingran asked when he saw that Cheng Zongyang was fine.

"It's similar to the temple on the mountainside. There are the same statues, but there's an extra small one. If we want to break the formation and dig it out, we either need to change the flow of the river here, or buy a new formation and set up a formation within a formation to isolate the river and protect the underground formation. Then there won't be any problems."

Luo Dingran was stunned at this, and immediately shook his head and said, "It's not possible to change the flow. This is a huge project, which will waste too much time and manpower. Sir, we can only use the formation."

Cheng Zongyang nodded: "Go back first, and make some purchases, and clearly mark the requirements. Also, I'll go to the destination you mentioned for the relocation."

So, the two of them passed the message back to the cabin through the shed, and Cheng Zongyang went there alone after learning the location of the relocation address.

Luo Dingran told him in detail about the relocation address.

This location is located on the east side of Huining County. After crossing the Huitong River, there is a forest and then a plain area.

One hundred and fifty miles east of the forest is the coast, and two hundred and seventeen miles north is flat forest and plains. After crossing the Liao River, there are new forests and plains. As for the Liao River, it is also the upper reaches of the Huitong River. It is also a big river with two names.

The Huitong River flows around the foot of the mountain. Not far from Huining County beside the river, to the north is the Dafan Mountains, which are formed by several peaks of different sizes. Behind the mountains are different mountains in succession. But the barrier to the north has not yet been opened. This is the farthest position. It is almost on par with Sanmao Mountain.

This plain area is not far from Huining County in the west, Botao Town and Dongping Village in the south. (The map can be found in the comments section or the chapter easter egg chapter)
According to the planning method of the martial arts world, these places all belong to Huining County.

It can be said that this place has mountains, water, and is close to the sea, which fully meets the requirements put forward by Cheng Zongyang at the beginning.

Cheng Zongyang stood on a tree on the hillside of Dafan Mountain, overlooking the mountains, forests and plains below, and was very satisfied with this place.

Whether it is future arable land, livestock breeding, fishing grounds and ports, or the construction of villages and towns for soul slaves to live in, they are all very good places.

Even if there is not enough space in the future and expansion is needed, we can still go north.

"It's a really nice place. And since this is the territory of Huining County, there should be many village and town ruins. It will be convenient to find and develop them in the future."

Cheng Zongyang went back and brought the Feiyun Shuttle with him.

Next, he did not care about wasting spirit stones, and controlled the Flying Cloud Shuttle to inspect the entire plain area and also observed the situation on the coast.
But there was only one chance to move, and he didn't want to make such a decision. But now the location of Xueyue Peak was not conducive to development, and there would definitely be a place he liked more in the future, and there would be a more suitable place.

He has a teleportation array, and in the future he can set a favorite place as a branch point, so this won't be a problem.

So what we need to do now is to seize the time, decide on the location, develop it early and earn points early.

"Then let's go here. It's much more suitable than Xueyue Peak." Cheng Zongyang murmured, and then returned to the shed and returned to the market hut.

After confirming it with Luo Dingran, Luo Dingran said happily: "Okay, I will send people to develop that area, and then move there after the construction is completed. This process may take quite a while."

Cheng Zongyang said: "No problem. You take care of the formation, I will study the statue and practice, and break through to the innate realm as soon as possible."

But Luo Dingran asked: "Sir, why don't you practice directly? This will save a lot of time."

Hearing Luo Dingran's question, Cheng Zongyang remembered that he had not told him the result of his spirit test, and said helplessly:

"My aptitude is pretty good in the world of ice and fire cultivation. The test of my spirit bones shows that I have three spirit bones, and the test of my spirit stones shows that I have two spirit roots. Although I can practice, after entering the Tao through martial arts, my spirit bones will replace my spirit roots for cultivation, and I will save the time of cultivating one spirit root. Besides, my skills can be upgraded, which is much better and more convenient than just finding a random book of cultivation skills."

Luo Dingran suddenly realized that this solved his problem and said no more.

But Cheng Zongyang suddenly remembered something and looked at Luo Dingran: "It seems that your spiritual bones and spiritual roots have not been tested, right?"

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about Luo Dingran. With a thought, the spirit-testing paper and spirit-testing stone stored on the fifth layer appeared in his hands.

"Come, drop some blood on the spirit stone and spirit paper to test your physique first." Cheng Zongyang said with a smile.

Seeing this, Luo Dingran also wanted to know his own situation, so he stopped hesitating, took out a dagger, cut his finger, and dripped a few drops on it.

Soon, as the spirit-testing paper and spirit-testing stone changed, the four pairs of eyes of the two people stared at them intently.

After a moment, Cheng Zongyang was a little surprised when he saw the unresponsive spirit stone and the spirit bones with wood and earth attributes.
