175: Chapter 175: The loopholes in the formation have been improved and the Golden Scorpion Spiritual Vein has been reached

After Chen Shan Shi finished speaking, he took out an inconspicuous gray Formation Plate from his storage bag, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

Lines of obscure Formation runes flew out from the Formation Plate and merged into the Formation eye of the Sky Thunder Landing Formation.

As the runes integrated, the flickering lightning light at the Formation eye gradually dissipated, revealing a purplish-blue Formation spirit item that had been tempered countless times by the power of heavenly thunder.

Chen Shan Shi reached into the Formation base and casually adjusted the direction of the Formation spirit item.

The entire Sky Thunder Landing Formation visibly solidified.

Chen Jiancang watched from the side with rapt attention, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Although he had some achievements in the path of alchemy and talismans, and a shallow understanding of the path of Formations, this was the first time he had witnessed such high-level Formation setup and repair as performed by Chen Shan Shi.

He saw that Chen Shan Shi had only casually adjusted the direction and position of the Formation spirit item a few times, yet this immediately solved the problem of overflowing thunder power that had troubled this Spirit Field for a long time.

As the saying goes, the Great Dao is simple.

When a skill reaches a certain level, even complex problems can be solved simply, turning complexity into simplicity, which is probably what this is about.

After a while, Chen Shan Shi stopped his movements and let out a long breath.

He looked at the Formation eye and nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, the gap in this Formation eye has been filled.

From now on, the Sky Thunder Landing Formation will be able to use all the absorbed thunder power for defense, and no useless thunder power will leak into the Spirit Field anymore."

Chen Jiancang quickly stepped forward and said gratefully: "Uncle-Grandfather, thank you for your help.

If not for this, the function of this Spirit Field would have been greatly reduced."

At this moment, Chen Jiancang looked at the position of the Formation eye and saw that not a single trace of the previously overflowing thunder power was leaking out.

Chen Shan Shi was indeed worthy of being a Peak second-order Formation Master.

"Uncle-Grandfather, I will transfer the contribution points to you now."

Chen Jiancang took out his identity token, preparing to pay Chen Shan Shi the reward for setting up the Formation this time.

However, Chen Shan Shi pressed down Chen Jiancang's hand and said: "This was just a small effort, no need for extra payment.

Besides, I'm just an old man now, so many Chen Family contribution points are useless to me."

"This..."

"Jiancang, it's fine.

Uncle-Grandfather Shan Shi is a Formation grandmaster and doesn't lack spiritual stones."

Yinsu explained with a smile from the side.

"Alright then, thank you, Uncle-Grandfather."

Jiancang bowed in thanks and no longer insisted.

"Jiancang, I live in Cave Mansion A Heavenly Character Number Eighteen.

If you have nothing to do, you can come find me for a chat."

A few days later, Chen Qingyuan led the Chen Family's Foundation Establishment cultivators and had arrived at the Blazing Yang Desert.

The Blazing Yang Desert was extremely hot, with yellow sand filling the sky.

Although oases were rare, there were several Spiritual Veins of second-order and above, and the Blazing Yang Desert was rich in spiritual ore.

Therefore, there were just as many, if not more, Cultivators seeking survival in the Blazing Yang Desert compared to the Qingya Mountain Range.

However, the Blazing Yang Desert was dry and lacked water; only some oases had sufficient water sources.

Therefore, there were very few Mortals in the Blazing Yang Desert, as Cultivators could use Water Ball spells to obtain water, but Mortals had no such means.

The Gold Scorpion Gang's base was a mid-grade second-order Spiritual Vein hidden within a sand dune.

Near the Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein, there was a Red Yang Copper mine.

This mine was a second-order spiritual mine, rich in Red Yang Copper Essence, and was one of the Gold Scorpion Gang's main industries.

Numerous rogue Cultivators were attached to the Gold Scorpion Gang, mining here for a living and earning spiritual stones.

The Gold Scorpion Gang also had a Market set up on the Spiritual Vein.

Those rogue Cultivators who made a living by mining earned spiritual stones from the spiritual mine and then immediately spent them in the Market.

The main idea was: earn money here, spend it here, don't even think about taking a single spiritual stone home.

Therefore, over the years, the Gold Scorpion Gang had already accumulated vast wealth, and the Gold Scorpion Gang Leader had also relied on these resources to break through to the Peak of the mid-stage Golden Core.

At this moment, the Chen Family members had arrived at the Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein.

To avoid alerting the enemy, even the Chen Family's iconic giant spiritual ship had been put away.

The Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein was rich in spiritual energy and, even more rarely, nurtured a small oasis.

Within the oasis, pavilions, terraces, and towers were all complete.

Countless figures bustled about, making it very lively.

"Old Ancestor, the Gold Scorpion Gang's base is just ahead.

We'll disguise ourselves as merchants and mix into the crowd.

Once we avoid the Formation and enter the Gold Scorpion Market, we'll seize the opportunity to attack.

We can definitely catch the Gold Scorpion Gang off guard."

Yin Long suggested after reporting the situation to Chen Qingyuan.

Chen Qingyuan nodded and said: "The Gold Scorpion Gang colluded with the Blood Hidden Gate, attempting to seize my Chen Family's foundation in the Qingya Mountain Range.

Since that is the case, the Gold Scorpion Gang's destruction by my Chen Family is their own doing."

"However, the Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein is different from the Blood Hidden Gate's mountain gate.

This place is filled with rogue Cultivators.

Once the battle starts, if the Gold Scorpion Gang remnants hide among the rogue Cultivators, it will be difficult to handle."

"Therefore, my intention is, for the Gold Scorpion Gang, only execute Cultivators above Foundation Establishment.

As for those Qi Refining Stage Disciples, we can give them a way out."

Chen Qingyuan stated his plan.

In Chen Qingyuan's view, the Blood Hidden Gate Cultivators were absolute magic cultivators; from top to bottom, none of them were good people, and their deaths were not regrettable.

However, the Gold Scorpion Gang Cultivators were not all heinous villains, so there was no need to slaughter them all.

Furthermore, after the Chen Family captures this Spiritual Vein and spiritual mine, they will lack mining spirit slaves.

These low-level Disciples of the Gold Scorpion Gang would be most suitable for digging the spiritual mine at that time.

"Old Ancestor is benevolent and unwilling to cause excessive slaughter.

This is the good fortune of these Gold Scorpion Gang Qi Refining Disciples.

At that time, let these Gold Scorpion Gang Qi Refining Disciples mine to atone for their sins."

Yin Long said with a smile.

At this moment, the Chen Family members were on the sand ridge.

Beside them, camel beasts stepped on the sand ridge, slowly walking in the Red Yang Desert.

On their backs sat low-level Qi Refining Cultivators with cloths covering their mouths and noses, their faces covered in dust and fatigue.

"Old Zhao, this month I dug over 700 jin of Red Yang Copper ore in the mining area and earned a full 7 spiritual stones.

When we get to the Market later, shall we go to the Red Boudoir Tower together and have some fun?"

"Okay!

I've been cooped up in that dark mine for a month, and I'm already going crazy.

Spending one spiritual stone to order a 'fairy' from the Red Boudoir Tower is simply too awesome."

The Cultivator surnamed Zhao said with a loud laugh.

Everyone smiled knowingly upon hearing this, and their tired faces showed anticipation.

No one mocked the Cultivator surnamed Zhao; after all, mining in the cave was truly grueling, and if one could get a 'fairy' to cleanse their soul, it could indeed be considered a beautiful thing.

At this moment, the people sitting on the camel beasts noticed the Chen Family Cultivators walking on foot nearby.

Because the Chen Family members were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, they couldn't see through their cultivation levels at all, so they mistakenly thought they were rogue Cultivators from out of town who had come to make a living.

After all, the Chen Family's clothing and appearance were different from the local Cultivators.

But they didn't know that among these more than forty people before them, the lowest cultivation level was the early Foundation Establishment stage, and the leader was Chen Qingyuan, who was at the perfected Golden Core stage.

"Young brothers, are you going to the Gold Scorpion Spiritual Vein to make a living?

I know the steward responsible for recruiting miners for the Gold Scorpion Gang.

Shall I introduce you?"

The Qi Refining Cultivator surnamed Zhao asked Chen Qingyuan very familiarly.
