Chapter 430 - 184: Five-Element Primordial Veins, Treasure Ship Hijacked!
"No, is the broth not fragrant? Why would you think of that?"
Seeing this, Shen Can also understood that it seems the simple-minded have their own fortunes.
Saying this, he led Huo Shan to the Martial Arts Stele Map inside the Ancestral Temple.
"Uncle Huo Shan, you need to stay in this Ancestral Temple next and cultivate the Wood Element Technique. Wood gives birth to fire, which can enhance the power of the Fire Element and also heal the wounds within the Celestial Vein."
Anybody else might have asked why the need to cultivate the Wood Element, but Huo Shan nodded directly.
"Alright!"
"Chirp!"
A cry rang out, attracting the attention of Huo Shan and Shen Can.
"The resources are back."
As the winds howled, the Cyan Simurgh landed outside the Ancestral Temple, retracted its evil qi, and transformed into a small cyan bird about a foot in size, proudly walking into the Ancestral Temple.
Upon seeing Shen Can, the Cyan Simurgh opened its beak and spat out more than thirty Witch Pouches.
"One hundred eighty-seven thousand Source Stones."
"One thousand two hundred stones of Witch Medicine."
"Various minerals and grains uncounted."
"Jewels and treasure gold and jade, two hundred jun."
"Four thousand three hundred Tier Three Xiaoyang Blood Pills."
"Thirty-nine Tier Four Blood Pills."
...
"Thirteen clansmen have died in battle, I’ve already brought their remains back."
After saying this, the Cyan Simurgh did not mention the situation of the sand land.
Shen Can had long known about the specific situation of the sand land through a doppelganger.
They attacked a sand bandit lair, a dozen Xiaoyang sized tribes, eliminating three Tier Four Xiaoyang.
Even though news from the sand land spread slowly, some information leaked out somewhat.
It’s just that everyone didn’t know which force did it.
Shen Can grabbed the Witch Pouch containing the Source Stones and dived deep into the earth, merging all the Source Stones into the Primordial Vein.
But these Source Stones were far from enough, more were needed.
Soon after, the Cyan Simurgh left again, heading to the sand land.
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
Beneath the Ancestral Temple.
An immense Source Power rippled out like waves, spreading upwards and around from the underground.
The rich Source Power flooded directly into Shen Can’s nose and mouth.
This Spirit Vein had now reached two hundred and thirty zhang, resembling a plump multicolored Spiritual Light Dragon.
On the dragon’s body were small spirit veins, winding like old tree roots, rooted in all directions of the earth.
It was like a web spreading in all directions, with the longest extending over two hundred li.
The land through which the Primordial Vein branches passed was influenced by the vein and began to gather Heaven and Earth Source Power.
Especially since Shen Can separately established corresponding spiritual lands on the surface, resulting in five differently colored areas on the ground.
According to the initial plan, the construction of the entire Primordial Vein spiritual land was about seventy percent complete.
In the southeast, in an area where green and red merged, Huo Shan sat cross-legged beneath a Spirit Plant tree, inhaling threads of Source Power.
A few dozen zhang behind Huo Shan, a young wizard in a witch robe sat quietly, also cultivating.
Even with Shen Can’s appearance, Huo Shan remained unaware.
For years, Huo Shan had not left the valley even once.
As the quality of the Primordial Vein continuously improved, the abundant Source Power gave Huo Shan’s entire body a rebirth.
Each time he cultivated, a Military Department Wizard would record the experience.
After a long time, Huo Shan awoke.
"Acan, I feel there’s no more progress to be made. Is it time to attempt breaking through the Divine Treasure?"
...
Blazing Flame Race Territory.
Stone Tower.
Huo Chang was handling clan affairs.
"Issue a command to Huo Ning, mobilize people from the Luo River Bo Division, and find out who’s responsible."
Recently, a treasure ship loaded with Fire Marrow Stones exchanged from the Bi Fang Bo Division was attacked by an unknown force after entering the Guimu River from the Yu Region via the Luo River.
On this treasure ship, Fire Marrow Stones made up the majority of the cargo, with the rest being jewels, gold stones, and some Witch Medicine, a local specialty of the Yu Region.
Since the start of building the Five Elements Spiritual Land years ago, the clan had been exchanging beast hides and Witch Medicine from the mountains in the Yu Region for Bi Fang Bo Division’s Fire Marrow Stones.
These Fire Marrow Stones could be used as minerals for forging weapons and armor, or embedded in houses to form a Fire Element cultivation land.
Another use was embedding them in smelting high furnaces to increase the smelting temperature.
The artificially built Fire Spirit Land in the valley was a huge smelting workshop with over a hundred large and small high furnaces, with Fire Marrow Stones buried from the ground to the furnaces.
Additionally, the clan’s wizards had researched some small Fire Secret Techniques, increasing the heat of the Fire Marrow Stones by ten percent.
This allowed the entire Fire Spirit Land, stretching dozens of li, to be constantly swept by heat waves.
Although the attackers were ultimately repelled, it was a costly victory, with nearly a hundred clan casualties, and only less than thirty escaping. The treasure ship sank at the Guimu River and Luo River confluence.
Two days later, Huo Qii entered the Stone Tower.
Huo Chang thought it was news from Huo Ning.
"So soon, has Huo Ning found out who did it?"
"It’s not news from Huo Ning."
Huo Qii shook his head and said, "It’s that another one of our treasure ships was also attacked."
