Chapter 138 The Beginning of the Spiritual Vein!

As Lu Yan's first main soul, Li Shi was far inferior to the later Bloodbeard and Giant Spirit in terms of both innate magic and strength.

But Lu Yan values ​​Li Shi very much, because Li Shi is undoubtedly the most loyal of all the main souls.

During the most difficult period for Lu Yan in the apocalyptic version, it was Li Shi who took the initiative to suppress the outbreak of all resentful souls, allowing Lu Yan to continue to hold the soul flag and later cultivate the Xuanhuang Merit Fire.

However, as time went on, Li Shi gradually left the echelon of the main souls and opened up a clear gap with the other two main souls.

To complete the transformation of ghosts and gods, one needs to reach the foundation-building stage, but Li Shi is currently only at the peak of Qi training and has yet to break through the foundation-building stage.

Lu Yan still has two souls of upper-level psychics in his hands. The souls of upper-level psychics are inherently weaker than the divine soul. Even if they are all devoured by the strong man, they may not be able to advance to the foundation-building stage.

Not to mention that after promotion, if the psychic code fails to be engraved, the soul will be damaged and the soul of the higher-level psychic will need to be replenished.

If Lux wants to be promoted, it seems he can only wait until the next version.

While the two ghosts were experimenting with the transformation of the Yin soldiers, the strong man still stood in the shadows, guarding Lu Yan like a silent guard.

Lu Yan walked over and patted Li Shi on the shoulder.

“If you choose to stay in the manor, I will wait until the next version to find an opportunity to help you achieve foundation building, but you will most likely be left far behind by the two of them.

If you are still unwilling, just follow me and I will give you a chance.

But whether it is a blessing or a curse is still unknown!"

As he spoke, Lu Yan strode towards the gate of the manor.

There was no change on Li Shi's face, but the moment Lu Yan left the manor, Li Shi followed Lu Yan without hesitation, like a loyal guard.

The Blood God looked towards the gate curiously.

"What are my lord and the strong man doing?"

The giant spirit stared at the departing figure of the strong man, countless messages flowing in his eyes, and then an expression of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Is this so?"

After a while, the giant spirit sighed and said:
"I think I know everything, but I am ultimately subject to the laws of nature and am far inferior to my Lord."

"A leaf blocks your view of the blue sky!"

When Lu Yan left the manor, he did not take the soul flag with him, so Li Shi naturally had nowhere to take him in and had to follow Lu Yan.

The man and the ghost did not take any means of transportation, nor did they use any flying magic. They traveled through mountains and forests and waded through rivers.

Lu Yan did not have a specific purpose for this trip, but to observe the Feng Shui landforms among the mountains, looking for a Feng Shui situation suitable for planting an artificial spiritual vein.

The most crucial reason why Lu Yan chose to buy the manor in Phoenix Mountain was that the geography of Phoenix Mountain was extremely special, being located on a mountain range that spanned hundreds of miles.

This mountain range has a very resounding name.

Beimang!

Luocheng was once the capital of several dynasties, and Beimang Mountain is very close to Luocheng. Several dynasties’ tombs were buried on the mountain, and countless soldiers from dozens of wars were buried in Beimang.

On Mount Beimang, there have been legends about the Beimang Ghost King and the Yin Ghost myth since ancient times.

There are many classic legends, and Beimang Mountain has long been listed as one of the famous mountains and rivers.

Phoenix Mountain is one of the main peaks of the Beimang Mountains. Lu Yan originally intended to build his layout here, but after arriving at Phoenix Mountain, he discovered that the Feng Shui topography of Phoenix Mountain was not suitable.

In addition, although Lu Yan rejected the idea of ​​the Giant Spirit God to build the foundation of the two Heavenly Daos, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with the Giant Spirit God's conjecture. If he wanted to build the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, he must mobilize a great trend.

So Lu Yan changed his previous strategy of secretly planting artificial spiritual veins and carefully planning, and tried to use artificial spiritual veins to influence the trend of heaven and earth.

In this situation, if Lu Yan continues to build momentum on Phoenix Mountain, his manor will be too conspicuous and will inevitably be noticed by other people, which may cause trouble.

So Lu Yan went dozens of kilometers away from Phoenix Mountain and came to another area of ​​Beimang Mountain. Surrounded by mountains, Lu Yan chose a place and buried the spiritual marrow mine in the Feng Shui formation.

Different from the Feng Shui formation forcibly created by the small underground factory in the cyber version, the place chosen by Lu Yan at this time is the Taiyinqiu Feng Shui Bureau. The formation created by heaven and earth can borrow the power of Feng Shui.

Only a moment after planting the spiritual marrow ore, Lu Yan could feel the ground beneath his feet shaking. The spiritual marrow ore rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy and began to infect the veins beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Lu Yan waved his hand, and three hundred spirit stones fell to the ground, piling up as high as half a person.

The spiritual energy emitted by the spirit stone was quickly absorbed by the spirit marrow mine, and then the ground veins under the feet began to be stained with a crystal-like color like jade.

Then, a little bit of weak spiritual energy rose from the transformed earth veins.

It took Lu Yan half a month to cultivate the first artificial spiritual vein in the cyber version.

But being in this feng shui situation, and with Lu Yan spending 300 spirit stones to replenish the spiritual energy for the spirit marrow mine regardless of the cost, he was able to complete the journey that would have taken the cyber version half a month to complete.

An artificial spiritual vein is gradually taking shape.

Even though this artificial spiritual vein has only taken shape, it has already reached the quality of the lower-grade first class, far surpassing the inferior small spiritual veins in the cyber version.

If the time is right in the future, it may even be possible to upgrade the spirit vein to the first-grade upper level, or even the second-grade lower level.

Lu Yan stood on the spiritual vein, feeling the long-lost spiritual energy rushing over him. He formed a seal with his hands and poured all of his cultivation at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi training into the spell without reservation.

First-level intermediate grade: Cloud and Mist Technique!

In an instant, rolling white mist spread out in all directions from the spiritual vein like a wave.

The Cloud and Mist Spell is a spell of weather and time. It does not have any killing power in itself. As long as one's realm is high enough and has enough magic power, it can even change the weather.

At the foot of Beimang Mountain, a group of travelers holding trekking poles and carrying backpacks were climbing the stairs.

The red-clothed passenger walking in front turned around and spoke to the crowd:

"We are almost at the camping site, everyone, keep working hard!"

At this moment, a tourist below seemed to have seen something and suddenly shouted:

"avalanche!!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be snow in Beimang Mountain? There really was an avalanche!"

"That's not snow, that's fog!"

Everyone looked at the clouds rolling down from the top of the mountain in shock. They were so overwhelming that they seemed to swallow up everything in Beimang Mountain.

Just as the overwhelming fog was about to descend in front of everyone, a tall ghost wearing heavy black armor strode out from the fog.

The fog that was about to swallow everyone stopped at this moment.

Among the passengers, several mobile phones accurately captured the scene.

The next moment, the low voice of the black-armored ghost echoed among the mountains.

"Beimang is a restricted area, no one is allowed to enter!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of cold wind swept everyone into the air and fell to the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters away.

Inside the camp at the foot of the mountain, everyone stared in a daze as more than a dozen passengers landed safely from hundreds of meters in the air, with no one injured.

Half an hour later, a series of videos were uploaded to social media, with seven large words clearly written in red font at the top.

There are ghosts and gods in Beimang Mountain!
