Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 466 Traces of Yin Earth
On the shore of Zangsha Lake, spiritual energy surged, forming a small whirlpool.

Immersed in it, Lao Huang was almost oblivious to his surroundings, constantly circulating his own true energy. In this process, the power of the Azure Deer, which was completely integrated with him, underwent further changes. The water energy continued to decrease, while the wood energy continued to increase, which was exactly the way of nourishing wood with water.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, Old Huang returned to his senses and quietly opened his eyes.

"Complete Qi Refining."

Sensing the change in himself, Old Huang showed a look of astonishment.

This time, he successfully built the Floating Spirit Field and suddenly realized the wonders of water and wood. This caused his own bloodline power to change, breaking free from the shackles of the original Azure Deer bloodline and giving him the possibility of further transformation. Correspondingly, his cultivation level also rose to the Qi Refining Perfection stage, only one step away from the Dao Foundation stage.

"Once I have fully refined the water energy in my bloodline and used it to nourish the wood energy, my bloodline power should be able to break free of its shackles. At that time, I will no longer be the so-called Azure Deer, but the Evergreen Deer."

Suppressing his excitement, Old Huang began to plan his future cultivation.

Although the Azure Deer is a magical creature, its bloodline power is not actually that strong. The best among its kind can only break through to the Qi Refining stage. Unless they have a great opportunity, it is basically impossible for them to become a Dao Foundation demon.

But the Evergreen Deer is different. This kind of demon is a superior bloodline of the Azure Deer. It mainly cultivates wood energy. Although it is not good at killing like the Azure Deer, it is good at nourishing its life and has a long lifespan. As long as the opportunity is right, it has a good chance of becoming a Dao Foundation demon, and even has a slight chance of becoming a Purple Mansion.

"Changqing Deer, if I can really take this step, I will have a real chance to build my Dao foundation in the future. Most importantly, with the support of this bloodline power, farming will be much more convenient for me in the future."

Realizing the extraordinary power of the Evergreen Deer bloodline, Old Huang was overjoyed.

He enjoys farming and spiritual cultivation. If he can gradually become stronger through farming, that would be perfect for him.

However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and turned his attention back to the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field. His breakthrough in cultivation was just an accident; the construction of this spirit field was the goal he had been working hard on during this period.

"Now that the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field is complete, the next step is to plant the Glowing Rice."

As his gaze swept over the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field, Old Huang had an idea. As it stands, the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field is pretty much as he originally predicted, and its construction is considered complete. However, whether or not the Glowing Rice can be grown successfully still requires further experimentation.

With that in mind, Lao Huang immediately took action. While the breakthrough in his cultivation was certainly cause for celebration, he did not forget his purpose.

As his bloodline changed, he gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the Floating Duckweed Spirit Field, and planting the Glowing Rice became much easier for him.

Taking in all these changes, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes as he watched Old Huang busy planting the Radiant Rice. To be honest, the transformation of Old Huang's bloodline was beyond his expectations. After all, the transformation of bloodline is inherently difficult, not to mention that the so-called bloodline on Old Huang's body came from the demon skin and was not inherited from birth.

"It is truly a good opportunity and a good talent. Once could be a coincidence, but twice is not simple. Although Lao Huang was born without spiritual apertures or spiritual bodies, he should have some kind of talent that I have not seen clearly. In a sense, he is also a genius, but this kind of talent is more obscure and difficult for outsiders to perceive."

With Lao Huang's image reflected in his eyes, Jiang Chen's mind raced with various thoughts, and he became increasingly certain of Lao Huang's extraordinary nature.

"I wonder if Lao Huang will be able to give me an even bigger surprise in the future."

Jiang Chen glanced at Lao Huang, then disappeared without disturbing him.

Old Huang's talent is not a bad thing for him. Most importantly, he saw more possibilities in Old Huang after fully integrating with the demon skin.

At the same time, Jiang Chen issued an order to vigorously develop the Floating Duckweed Spirit Fields. Although the effect of using these spirit fields to cultivate the Glowing Rice has not yet been verified, the special characteristics of these spirit fields have already emerged. Compared with ordinary spirit fields, they are undoubtedly more suitable for this Western Region.

Under such circumstances, even if the cultivation of the Glowing Rice fails again, there is no problem in vigorously developing this kind of spiritual field, which can be used to cultivate other spiritual herbs. As soon as Jiang Chen issued the order, the cultivators of Lanyun City immediately sprang into action. With the cooperation of many spiritual plant masters, geomancers, and array masters, a three-dimensional management model in which farming on the lake surface and fish farming under the lake complement each other quickly took shape.

Under this model, the development of Lanyun City accelerated further, and it gradually began to resemble a celestial city.

Compared to Lanyun City, Blackwater City on the other side was much worse. Although they did not experience the danger of large sandstorms, they encountered many minor troubles after settling down, including attacks from ghosts.

The city lord's mansion was brightly lit, serving as a place to ward off evil spirits and demons.

"Damn it, we're being watched."

Sitting in the main seat, looking out at the deep night sky, Xuan Jiaozi's expression was quite unpleasant.

The unique environment of the Western Regions prevented them from establishing their grand formation, which is why they were targeted by ghosts. These ghosts absorbed yin energy to increase their cultivation and were always envious of the blood and qi of cultivators. This blood and qi, which contained yang energy, could help them better refine yin energy and alleviate its backlash.

In recent days, the people of Blackwater City have put in a lot of effort to deal with these ghosts, but the results have not been very good. Although these ghosts are not very strong in direct combat, often not as strong as cultivators of the same level, they are too good at hiding.

They love to ambush, rarely engage in direct combat, and are very slippery.

“Lord, I suspect that a dark land may have been created near our Blackwater City, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many ghosts.”

With a solemn expression, Jiao Ze revealed his guess.

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of those present subtly changed.

Sandy seas, underground caves, and dark earth are three very famous types of terrain in the Western Regions. The former is the most common, and can be said to be found throughout the entire Western Regions, while the latter two are relatively rare and are quite hidden.

The underground caves present both opportunities and dangers. They are mostly transformed from some strange places in the Western Regions under the influence of the earth's veins. They are rare places of life in the desert, nurturing a vast vitality and often giving birth to many precious treasures, and even the possibility of finding local treasures.

Of course, such a land of life can give birth to treasures, but it can also give rise to some powerful creatures. Not to mention that after the great battle, many monsters fled into the underground caves. It can be said that opportunities and dangers coexist.

As for Yin Earth, it is an absolutely dangerous place for cultivators. Yin energy gathers and Yang energy does not exist, making it a breeding ground for ghosts.

"We must find this possible burial ground at all costs."

Raising his head, his gaze met Jiao Ze's, and Xuan Jiaozi gave the order.

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in agreement. If this Yin Land truly existed, Blackwater City would never have peace if it remained unsettled.

After everyone left, Xuan Jiaozi let out a helpless sigh. The experiences of this period had left him somewhat exhausted, and his former ambitions had faded after a series of trials.

"I'm really far behind Jiang Chen."

Thinking of the intelligence he had received about Lanyun City, Xuan Jiaozi was momentarily lost in thought.

As his will wavered, the chaotic seed deep within his heart was completely freed from its restraints and began to grow wildly.
