Chapter 72 Setting Up the Mine (Please subscribe and vote!)
Lu Cheng'an didn't waste too much energy on the matter of the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan. After adjusting his state, he circulated the Heavenly Fire Profound Technique and began his cultivation for the day.

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Lu Wenxing had already returned from Tianyan City, where he successfully purchased three sets of second-tier low-grade spirit arrays.

Of these three sets of Tier 2 low-grade spirit arrays, one is the Tier 2 low-grade spirit array Crimson Star Heavenly Array, which is used to set up in the valley where the spirit stone mine is located. The other two sets of spirit arrays are the Spirit Gathering Array and the Spirit Nurturing Array.

The second-tier low-grade Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Nurturing Array are a set of spirit arrays. The main function of this set of spirit arrays is to nurture first-tier spirit veins into second-tier spirit veins.

Of course, relying solely on the power of the spirit array is not enough; a large amount of spirit stones also needs to be invested into the spirit array during this process.

Cultivating a first-order spiritual vein into a second-order spiritual vein requires a great deal of manpower and resources.

If the Lu family hadn't discovered a miniature spirit stone mine containing 100,000 spirit stones from Zhu Yan, Lu Wenxing would never have cultivated a first-order spirit vein in Chiyan Mountain at this time.

These three spirit arrays cost a total of over five thousand spirit stones, almost exhausting all the cultivation resources that the Lu family had rebuilt.

Purchasing a complete set of spirit arrays is much more expensive. If the Lu family had a second-tier spirit array master, they could save a lot of spirit stones.

However, the Lu family doesn't even have a first-tier spirit array master right now, and none of the current cultivators in the Lu family have shown any talent in the art of spirit arrays.

For a long time to come, the Lu family will likely have to purchase the spirit arrays they need from outside.

After Lu Wenxing returned to his family with the spirit array he had purchased, he didn't dare to waste any time.

He was the first to set up a second-tier low-grade Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Nurturing Array in Crimson Smoke Mountain. The Spirit Gathering Array can gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, while the Spirit Nurturing Array can nurture the spiritual veins.

After these two spirit arrays were set up, although the Lu family did not invest too many spirit stones in them, the concentration of spiritual energy contained in Chiyan Mountain was still slowly increasing.

Given time, once the Lu family's finances become more relaxed, the first-order spiritual vein nurtured by the Spirit Nurturing Array will be able to become a second-order spiritual vein in a very short period of time.

"Third Elder, I am now heading to the spirit stone mine to set up the Crimson Star Heavenly Array. Once I have successfully set up the Crimson Star Heavenly Array, you should select three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the clan to lead two thousand strong mortals to the spirit stone mine," Lu Wenxing said in a deep voice.

The Lu family has no plans to reveal the spirit stone mine for the time being, so they only intend to let ordinary people mine the spirit stones contained in the mine.

The Lu family now has a considerable number of ordinary people, and many of these ordinary people come from the Xu family and the bandit cultivators of Black Pine Mountain.

Due to the unspoken rules of the cultivation world, the Lu family did not deal with all these mortals, but they also did not take good care of them, using them as free labor.

Once the spirit stone mine is officially put into operation, the manpower required will increase significantly, and at that time, these mortals will all be able to come in handy.

"If I also leave the family, wouldn't the family's remaining strength be too weak?" Lu Wenhua asked, frowning.

At that time, only Lu Wenmei, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, will be in charge of the family. Moreover, Lu Wenmei is an alchemist, and her combat ability is relatively weak compared to cultivators of the same level.

"You don't need to worry about that. I've already sent a message to Cheng'an, asking him to return to the family to oversee things for a while. Once the spirit stone mine matter is settled, he can return to Fire Locust Mountain," Lu Wenxing said with a smile.

"The clan leader's consideration is indeed wise!"

Lu Wenhua smiled and complimented him before saying, "Then I'll go to the clan to select manpower now!" He still had to lead two thousand strong mortals to the spirit stone mine. Mortals travel relatively slowly, and it was very likely that the clan leader would have already set up the Crimson Star Heavenly Array before he even arrived at the spirit stone mine with them.

After explaining the matter to Lu Wenhua, Lu Wenxing went to the Spirit Stone Mine first.

Not long after Lu Wenhua left Chiyan Mountain with the three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators selected from the clan, Lu Chengan arrived at Chiyan Mountain.

Lu Cheng'an's mission this time is to be stationed at Chiyan Mountain to prevent any problems from arising due to the emptiness of his family.

His return to Chiyan Mountain did not disturb the other cultivators of the Lu family. After returning to Chiyan Mountain, he only told the Second Elder Lu Wenmei before returning to his cave to continue his secluded cultivation.

At the same time, Lu Wenxing had also arrived at the valley where the spirit stone mine was located.

Setting up the complete set of spirit arrays was not difficult. Although Lu Wenxing was not good at spirit arrays, he successfully set up the Crimson Star Hun Tian Array in a short time.

The second-tier, low-grade Crimson Star Heavenly Array is primarily defensive, but it also comes with concealment and attack effects, although the concealment and attack effects are much weaker than the defense.

However, the Crimson Star Heavenly Array is only a second-tier low-grade array, and even its slightly weaker concealment and attack effects are not something that a Qi Refining cultivator can withstand.

After successfully setting up the Crimson Star Heavenly Array, Lu Wenxing activated the array's concealment effect, using the power of the spiritual array to hide the entire valley.

"The spiritual energy here is too thin. Although the Crimson Star Heavenly Array has only activated its concealment effect, the spiritual energy required to support the operation of the array still needs to be replenished with spirit stones!"

Lu Wenxing silently sensed the operation of the Crimson Star Heavenly Array, a second-tier low-grade spiritual array, and then he sighed softly.

After successfully setting up the Crimson Star Heavenly Array, Lu Wenxing did not rush to leave, but instead began to deal with some boulders in the valley.

These boulders are extremely heavy, and it would be difficult to remove them using ordinary human strength.

This valley will be the family's main base for mining spirit stones. The valley needs to be cleared as soon as possible to avoid delaying the mining of spirit stones.

Lu Wenhua was not slow. After leaving Chiyan Mountain with three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from his clan, he quickly selected two thousand strong and capable mortals from the mortals of Qingmu Ridge and then immediately led them to the spirit stone mine.

Qingmuling and Lingshi Mine are relatively close in location, less than 200 li apart.

However, ordinary people travel relatively slowly. Even though this group consisted of two thousand strong and healthy ordinary people, it still took them more than six hours to reach the spirit stone mine.

"Third Elder, what is this place? What is the purpose of bringing these mortals here?"

The three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Lu family who had come with Lu Wenhua looked at him with great doubt. The valley where the spirit stone mine was located was now shrouded in the power of the Crimson Star Heaven-Shattering Array, and with their strength, the three of them could not see through the power of the Crimson Star Heaven-Shattering Array.

Just as Lu Wenhua was about to answer, he heard Lu Wenxing's voice coming from the valley.

"Third Elder, bring these mortals into the valley first; we can discuss other matters later!"
