Chapter 520: Chapter 338: Array Established, Cultivating the Spirit Field

“Finally, all the refinement is done.”

In the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, Lu Qing looked at the various magic pillars before him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face showed a smile.

Even with his strong Divine Soul Power, after consecutively refining many items for setting up arrays over several days, he still felt his Heart and Spirit were exhausted.

Fortunately, under this intense continuous refinement, he also felt that his Heart and Spirit had been greatly tempered.

His use of Divine Soul Power had become much more exquisite, which was considered a harvest.

With a wave of his hand, the magic pillars on the ground once again took flight, turning into streaks of light.

Most of the magic pillars fell towards Jiuli Village below, and the rest landed around the small mountain where the Half Mountain Small Courtyard was located, sinking into the ground.

The seventy-two magic pillars sank into the ground, echoing the previous thirty-six pillars.

They formed array nodes, interlinked qi mechanisms, and connected together.

Suddenly, in Jiuli Village, strange phenomena arose again.

A faint light of the array shone from the edge of Jiuli Village and then slowly faded, vanishing into the ground.

Threads and wisps of mist drifted and weaved through the village.

This made the village appear to have a somewhat ethereal aura.

Having experienced this once before, the villagers didn’t panic this time, knowing that it should be Lu Qing up to something again.

Of course, they were still curious.

When a villager saw a wisp of mist drift close by, driven by curiosity, they reached out to grasp it.

The mist turned into a wisp of vapor, landing in the villager’s hand.

The next moment, the villager felt a chill that refreshed their mind and spirit.

It not only invigorated them, but also seemed to make their body feel lighter.

They were immediately astounded, finding it incredibly unbelievable.

“Young Master Lu, does this mist conceal some secret?”

At the Half Mountain Small Courtyard above, mist also lingered.

Sensing the activity, Wei Shanhai, who had hurried up the mountain, caught a wisp of mist, his eyes revealing astonishment.

He felt something extraordinary within this wisp of mist.

“Senior Wei saw clearly, this mist contains the essence of vitality, it can greatly benefit the body.

Staying within the array, nurtured by the mist over time, can strengthen the body, reduce pains, and prolong life,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Such magic!”

Wei Shanhai looked at the mist in his hands, indeed, he could feel a hint of the essence of vitality.

Although it was slight, one could imagine the immense benefits to one’s body if nourished by this Vitality Fog over the long term.

Looking at the drifting mist in Jiuli Village below, and the curious villagers reaching out to touch the mist, Wei Shanhai’s gaze became thoughtful.

These villagers probably didn’t realize the extent of the benefits they were receiving.

Not to mention anything else, just the nurturing effect of the Vitality Fog, something that even the nobility in the royal capital couldn’t enjoy.

He believed that if the effects of the Vitality Fog became known, who knew how many people would fight tooth and nail to come here.

“Young Master Lu, did you set up this array just to help the villagers improve their health?” Wei Shanhai asked.

“Of course not, the Vitality Fog is just a byproduct of the array. As for its other functions, the array has just been set up and the accumulated power is not yet sufficient, so I am not able to demonstrate it to you, Senior,” Lu Qing explained.

The effort he had expended to set up the array was naturally not only for gathering this bit of Vitality Fog.

As a simplified version of the Sect Protection Array of the Li Huo Sect, if it only had this function, that would truly be a laughing stock.

“The ways of Immortal Dao are indeed incredibly wondrous.”

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, Wei Shanhai was not upset but instead filled with admiration.

At the same time, his desire for the path of Immortal Cultivation grew even more.

Unfortunately, despite having spent the past few days trying to comprehend the cultivation method given to him by Lu Qing, he had only grasped a little bit of it.

It would still be some time before he truly entered the threshold.

Seeing the happy faces of the villagers below, Lu Qing also felt a great sense of relief in his heart.

Now that the array was set up, if any Cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Stage tried to evade his detection and sneak into the village, it would be impossible.

As for Cultivators at or above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Not to mention that there are currently hardly a few such powerful Cultivators in the entire world, if there indeed were such powerful individuals coming to Jiuli Village, they likely would not demean themselves by resorting to thievery.

With this, the village finally had a secure guarantee.

Everyone in Jiuli Village was uplifted as Lu Qing stood up and made his way to the location of the Medicine Field behind the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

This time, the Array he had set up encompassed the Half Mountain Small Courtyard as well.

Therefore, the earth’s energy here was even richer than usual.

This was especially true for the Medicine Field.

The earth’s energy was so dense that the thousand-year-old ginseng living within it was so delighted it almost rolled around in excitement.

Even when it saw Lu Qing approaching, it didn’t hide underground but shook the leaves atop its head to greet him.

It should be known that, on ordinary days, the thousand-year-old ginseng always presented a cold front to Lu Qing.

It still remembered how Lu Qing had captured it.

The ginseng found Lu Qing both frightening and loathsome.

Lu Qing himself was somewhat surprised by the ginseng’s friendly gesture.

However, he currently had no time to play with the little thing.

He took out several crystal-clear Jade Tablets with mysterious runes from the Qiankun Qi Bag.

These were crafted from part of the jade stones that Grand Steward Wei had sent over, which Lu Qing had refined in his spare time during the days he had been making Magic Pillars.

After measuring the area around the Medicine Field, selecting the right nodes, Lu Qing placed each of the Jade Tablets in position.

As the last Jade Tablet was set in place, everyone seemed to feel an invisible tremor in the surrounding space.

Following that, the already rich earth’s energy from the mountain started to flow slowly towards the Medicine Field.

Even the Spiritual Energy from the surrounding space was subtly drawn out and merged into the Medicine Field.

“Young Master, by crafting these Gathering Spirit Steles, do you intend to cultivate a spirit field?” “Yan” sensed this scene and transmitted his inquiry.

Over the past few days absorbing the Outer Heaven Fallen Iron that Lu Qing had provided, “Yan’s” True Spirit had recovered quite a bit.

Despite working with Lu Qing to craft items like Magic Pillars, “Yan” was still at ease.

“Yes, though Spiritual Energy is recovering now, it’s uncertain when many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will mature.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to cultivate some spiritual materials ourselves, perhaps even gaining a bit of a head start,” Lu Qing nodded.

“That’s a very good idea.”

“Yan” praised him, “The revival of Spiritual Energy also needs time to breed powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

In fact, during the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, those top Cultivation Sects

were often those who seized the initial opportunity at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery, staying ahead step by step.

By quickly monopolizing vast resources, they eventually developed into powerful Sects.

Taking precautions early is the only way to have enough strength to seize the chance when the opportunity truly arises.”

“I’m not really interested in developing forces,” Lu Qing shook his head, “But I’ve offended not a few powers, so I still need to make the necessary preparations.”

Lu Qing was speaking the truth; he wasn’t interested in founding Sects.

Managing a Sect often required a significant investment of Heart and Spirit.

With that energy, he thought it would be better to focus on his cultivation diligently to enhance his Cultivation.

“Yan” didn’t speak further; during these past few days of interaction, he realized that Lu Qing didn’t seem to be someone with a strong desire for power.

On the contrary, the young man was quite relaxed in nature.

Nonchalant about many things and amiable in disposition, even common villagers could jest with him freely, and he, far from getting angry, even went to great lengths to set up an Array to protect them.

Compared to the ruthlessness he exhibited when threatening “Yan” and refining the plague ghost, he seemed like a completely different person.

Such a contradictory personality and actions made “Yan” increasingly wary of Lu Qing.

The young man was becoming more and more unfathomable.

With the placement of the Gathering Spirit Steles, the earth’s energy around the Medicine Field grew ever denser.

Added to that, the nearby nature’s Spiritual Energy continued to accumulate.

Feeling all this, the thousand-year-old ginseng became even happier.

The few leaves on its head began to dance.

While Lu Qing was carefully cultivating the spirit field at Half Mountain Small Courtyard,

State Mansion City was welcoming several uninvited guests.
