Chapter 824: The Second Base
Zhang Xuan directly adjusted the route and headed north-east.
He and Old Man Tianji were paying close attention to the situation below.
The land of chaos was still filled with monotonous yellow sand, and nothing different was found.
They marched forward another tens of thousands of miles.
Old Man Tianji pointed to a place below and said, "That's it!"
Zhang Xuan looked far away and saw a small black dot below.
As Shenzhou got closer, the small black dot turned into a lush green area.
It turned out to be a pit dozens of miles long and wide.
The entire pit is like an inverted funnel, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Shenzhou stopped.
Everyone also got off the Shenzhou one by one.
Shen Dongzi was surprised: "How can there be such a vibrant place here?"
"Look at the trees below, they are hundreds of feet high. The pit mouth is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. Such terrain can avoid the interference of chaotic forces to a certain extent. There may be another world inside the pit." Old man Tianji said with a smile.
"Let's go down and have a look."
As Zhang Xuan said this, he was the first to jump into the pit.
Once I entered this pit, I found that it was just as Old Man Tianji said.
The mouth of the pit is only a few dozen miles long and wide, but it becomes wider as it goes down.
When he landed, he found that this place was hundreds of miles long and wide.
In addition to tall trees, there are also various weed seedlings.
More importantly, Zhang Xuan also felt a faint trace of spiritual energy at the bottom of the pit.
"Fire attribute spiritual energy? There is a well of air here!"
Henry Zhang was overjoyed.
This trip was not in vain.
After careful detection, there is no gas well here, but there is actually a first-grade intermediate spiritual vein.
This really puzzled everyone.
It is said that in the depths of this chaotic land, the power of chaos is strong. Even if there are spiritual veins, over time, they will be eroded by the power of chaos and all spirituality will be lost.
"There's probably only one explanation for this situation," said old man Tianji slowly.
"What explanation?" Zhang Xuan also asked puzzledly.
"This spiritual vein is newly generated."
Upon hearing what Elder Tianji said, Shen Dongzi immediately shook his head and said, "This is even more impossible. This chaotic land is corroded by the power of chaos day and night. It is absolutely impossible for a new spiritual vein to be produced."
Elder Tianji laughed and said, "Elder Ten, do you still remember the fifth-level spiritual vein in the cross-domain treasure boat in the Beixuan Treasure Domain?"
"Of course I remember. That fifth-level spiritual vein stretches for tens of millions of miles, constantly erupting like a volcano, turning tens of millions of miles of territory into a land of fire."
"This fire attribute spiritual vein should be a branch that flows from there to here."
Zhang Xuan was shocked when he heard it, "No way, this place is hundreds of millions of miles away from that place."
"Why not? The speed of spiritual veins is very fast. Have you forgotten that the spiritual vein of Wuyou City almost escaped?"
Zhang Xuan naturally remembered.
If he hadn't used his control power at the critical moment, the spiritual vein of Wuyou City would probably have disappeared without a trace.
Once it is not fixed, the speed of the spirit vein's escape is indeed very fast, no slower than the speed of Shenzhou.
It makes sense that this branch vein would flow from that place of fire to here.
Elder Tianji continued, "And did you notice that this pit is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom? It can also weaken the erosion of the chaotic force to a certain extent. That's why this first-level middle-grade spiritual vein can be preserved and this place can become a place full of vitality."
"Well, that's good. We finally have a second base." Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.
A first-grade, mid-quality spiritual vein in the land of chaos is much more precious than a gas well.
After all, gas wells cover a limited area.
The spiritual energy coverage area of such a first-grade, mid-quality spiritual vein is nearly a hundred miles, which is much stronger than a gas well.
“It’s a pity that there is still a lot of chaotic forces corroding outside. I’m afraid that within a hundred years, this place will become a barren land again.” Old Man Tianji sighed.
Zhang Dawu stepped out and said, "I got a method to refine the Nine Palaces Qi Returning Formation from the temple master. If we can refine this formation and place it at the entrance of the pit, we can isolate most of the chaotic power. This first-level spiritual vein will last for four to five hundred years without any problem."
Zhang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Okay, Da Wu, you will stay in this base to refine the Nine Palaces Qi Recovery Formation first, and these formation materials are left for you to refine."
As he spoke, Henry Zhang handed over a storage bag.
"I will definitely live up to the mission." Zhang Dawu said solemnly as he took the storage bag.
Zhang Xuan and others searched in this underground pit again and found many elixirs unique to the chaotic land.
Zhang Xuan exchanged these elixirs from everyone using elixirs.
What made Zhang Xuan particularly happy was that he found a second-level tea seedling here - Xuanji Purple God Tea, which has the effect of strengthening and replenishing spiritual consciousness.
Zhang Xuan immediately planted this second-level spiritual tea from the chaotic land into the meditation space.
After this second-level spiritual tea matures, he can cut a branch of the second-level spiritual tea and plant it on the inner scene island through cuttings.
"This trip was well worth it. The northeast is auspicious. Fellow Daoist Tianji is indeed a master of divination!" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but praise.
"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Ten."
"By the way, since Fellow Daoist Tianji can predict good and bad luck from such a long distance, why didn't you predict the rocky mountains and ice fields we passed by in advance?"
"Divination can only predict objective destiny, but not the final result. There is a saying that goes 'Man can conquer nature'. Just like the experience of the Stone Mountains and the Icefield, do the Ten Clan Elders think it is a good omen or a bad omen?"
"We found life-giving stones in the stone mountains and gas wells in the ice fields, which is naturally a good omen."
Elder Tianji shook his head and said, "No, no, there are 15 fourth-level sand spirits in the stone mountains. If it weren't for the ten clan elders who turned the tide, we would all have died there. Do you think it's a good omen?"
"If we take away the human factor, maybe it doesn't count."
"There is also a gas well on the ice field, buried a million feet underground. If it weren't for the coincidence that brought down the six-color divine thunder punishment, could we really dig out this gas well before the resources were exhausted?"
"Maybe not."
"So, there are many factors that affect the hexagram, and they are very complicated. The rocky mountains and ice fields cannot determine whether it is a very auspicious or very ominous hexagram. Only the pit here, even without human factors, is a very auspicious sign."
"I see."
After Elder Tianji’s explanation, Zhang Xuan finally understood everything.
After absorbing enough spiritual energy in the pit, Shenzhou set off again.
No one expected that this second stronghold would be so easy to build; it was almost like a gift for free.
Shenzhou continued to speed forward.
The terrain below changed again.
It turned out to be a bright yellow color.
The further we go, the darker the surface becomes.
"Is this a swamp below?!" Zhang Xuan was shocked.
He never expected that there would be a swamp in such a chaotic place.
