The short-bearded monks arrived faster than expected.

Less than two months after the market opened, a team of six people arrived from the direction of Yunyang Market. The leader was the short-bearded cultivator who came to survey the site for 1,900 acres of spirit fields.

The short-bearded monk, carrying a detailed survey map, met with Li Yuan at the market management office.

"A 1,900-mu area is not small."

The short-bearded monk unfolded the blueprints and traced a circle with his finger around the terrain surrounding the market.

"The west and north sides of the market area have already been largely occupied, leaving only the south and east sides as usable areas."

Li Yuan glanced at the area marked on the drawing.

The southern side, near the edge of the Ghost Mist Forest, is flat and has a sufficient area, but the residual malevolent energy is quite heavy. The coverage of the malevolent energy gathering array is mainly concentrated in the core area of ​​the market, and the concentration of malevolent energy on the southern edge has not yet dropped to the standard for planting in spirit fields.

The situation is different on the east side. The concentration of malevolent energy is lower than on the south side, but the terrain is very undulating, making direct cultivation impractical; the terrain needs to be leveled first.

"We can probably carve out about 1,100 mu to the south and 800 mu to the east, which adds up to just right," the short-bearded monk said. "But there are problems on both sides. The evil energy is too strong to the south, and the terrain to the east is not good."

"I'll handle the issues of the malevolent energy and the terrain," Li Yuan said.

The short-bearded monk paused for a moment, then nodded.

The next morning, Li Yuan went to the east side first.

The 800-mu area spans three low hills and two shallow ditches, with the greatest elevation difference reaching nearly two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters). Leveling this area into arable land would be a considerable undertaking.

Li Yuan stood atop the highest hill and activated the Earth Transport Technique.

The 30% power boost from the thick earth was fully realized at this moment.

Spiritual energy flowed into the ground beneath their feet, and the soil and pebbles of the hills began to move under the influence of the Earth Transporting Technique. The soil and rocks were stripped from the top of the hills and flowed along the direction guided by the spiritual energy to the shallow ditches on both sides, filling the low-lying areas.

The range of control is much larger than before. After mastering the Thick Earth True Skill, the quality and affinity of earth-type spiritual power have been comprehensively improved, and the coverage of the Earth Manipulation Technique has expanded from the original dozen or so feet to more than thirty feet.

The first hill was leveled within half a day, and the soil was filled into the shallow ditch next to it, making the ground basically level.

The second hill was larger, and it took most of the day to cross it.

The third hill was cleared by the morning of the following day.

After leveling the ground, Li Yuan used the Soil Transformation Technique to loosen the topsoil to a depth of about three feet, turning the hardened soil into soft, arable soil.

The terrain problem on the east side has been solved.

Next is the issue of negative energy from the south.

Li Yuan stood at the edge of the southern area, closing his eyes to perceive.

The perception capabilities of the special equipment from the Sha Mai played a crucial role at this moment.

The mine is located deep in the southern part of the market town, about four or five hundred feet away from the site of the spirit field. After equipping the Shamai equipment, Li Yuan was able to accurately sense the distribution and flow of underground Shamai around the mine, with a sensing range far exceeding the mine itself, extending to the underground areas surrounding the market town.

The distribution of negative energy underground in the southern area is uneven.

There are three points where the malevolent energy is particularly concentrated, like underground gathering points where the malevolent energy permeates and spreads outwards. By setting up a malevolent energy gathering array at these three points, the seepage of the malevolent energy can be cut off at its source, which is far more efficient than laying out arrays over a large area on the ground.

Ordinary array masters do not have this precise perception ability down to the underground nodes; they can only arrange the array evenly on the surface, using quantity to compensate for the lack of precision.

Once the three evil-gathering formations are activated, the effects are immediate.

The malevolent energy from the three underground nodes was extracted, and the amount of malevolent energy seeping into the surrounding areas decreased rapidly. The concentration of malevolent energy on the surface of the southern area dropped by nearly 60% within half a day, and by evening it was close to the standard line for planting in the spirit field.

In a few more days, the remaining evil energy will be completely extracted by the evil-gathering array, and the concentration will fully meet the standard.

"I admire Fellow Daoist Li's methods." He looked at the rapidly decreasing concentration of malevolent energy in the southern area and sighed. "If someone else were to handle this, it would take them ten to fifteen days just to set up the formation, and they might not even be able to reduce it to this level."

Li Yuan didn't say much.

Three days later, the concentration of malevolent energy in the southern area dropped below the standard level.

The short-bearded monk's men then entered the arena.

In addition to the previous six-person survey team, more than twenty independent cultivators and a professional spirit field manager arrived. The spirit field manager was an old cultivator with gray hair and a late-stage Qi Refining cultivation level. It was said that he had cultivated spirit fields all his life and had extremely rich experience.

The area of ​​1,900 mu is extremely large, and even with more than 20 people working on it at the same time, it cannot be completed in a short period of time.

The short-bearded monk kept mentioning that his plan to go to Qinglan Market had to be postponed.

Li Yuan stopped monitoring the progress of the reclamation and handed over the follow-up work to the management office before returning to his stone house to cultivate.

The low-lying areas surrounding the market have expanded further due to the deployment of these energy-gathering formations.

The concentration of malevolent energy in large areas to the south and east has dropped to extremely low levels. Combined with the spiritual fields previously cultivated to the west and north, the low-malevolent energy range in all four directions of the market has been greatly expanded.

The effects were quickly apparent.

Another group of independent cultivators moved in from the outskirts. These cultivators had previously hesitated because they disliked the heavy malevolent energy around the Misty Forest Market. Now that the low-malevolent area has expanded, the experience of living near the market is similar to that of living on the outskirts of Yunyang Market, and it's also close to Ghost Mist Forest and Spirit Rhinoceros Valley, so there's no reason for them not to move.

The number of permanent residents in the market increased by more than 20 people in one month, and the occupancy rate of the stalls increased significantly.

The practice continued as usual.

One afternoon, Li Yuan was conducting his routine inspection of the market square.

The term perception function continues to operate within a three-foot radius.

A traveling merchant walked past Li Yuan, his storage bag on his back and several miscellaneous items at his waist coming into his perception range one after another.

green.

The fluctuation came from a jade pendant hanging from the merchant's waist.

Li Yuan didn't stop walking, his gaze sweeping over the traveling merchants.

He was dressed as an ordinary rogue cultivator, with a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, and was strolling around the square, seemingly looking for a stall.

Li Yuan walked around and came back, stopping next to the stall where the itinerant vendors had stopped.

"Would you sell that jade pendant on your waist?"

The traveling merchant glanced down at his waist, somewhat surprised.

"This? I found it in a cave over at the dry riverbed. I don't know what it is. If you're interested, just name your price."

"Thirty spirit stones."

The traveling merchant's eyes lit up; the items he had picked up from the cave on the dry riverbed could fetch so much more than he had expected.

"make a deal."

Li Yuan handed over the spirit stone, and the jade pendant was in his hands.

Back in the stone house, I ran my fingers over the surface of the jade pendant.

[Equipable item detected: Tranquilizing Jade Pendant (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Preview: Stable Spiritual Platform (Green) - Reduces the probability of going into qi deviation during cultivation by 30%, and reduces the conflict between different attribute spiritual energies by 30%]

[Preview of Permanentization Conditions: Cultivate two different attribute cultivation techniques and reach perfection (0/2)]

Green entry. Mental state is stable.

The probability of going astray from cultivation is reduced by 30%, and conflicts between spiritual energies are decreased.

For me, the "Hundred Rivers Flowing to the Sea" technique has already significantly reduced conflicts between various cultivation methods, and the "Stabilizing the Spiritual Platform" effect adds another layer of protection on top of that. As the number of cultivation methods increases and their attributes become more diverse, having an extra layer of security is not a bad thing.

The condition for permanent attainment is that two cultivation techniques of different attributes reach perfection. Currently, the perfected techniques are the Spirit Guiding Technique and the Hundred Meridians Returning to Origin Technique, but both are attribute-less techniques. The Crimson Fire Technique is still in the initial stage, the Thick Earth True Technique has reached great mastery, and the Azure Wood Longevity Technique is proficient. The conditions cannot be met in the short term.

No rush.

Li Yuan put the jade pendant away and continued his cultivation.

The Soul Condensation Technique has also made progress during this period.

During the process of progressing from mastery to minor success, Li Yuan noticed something unusual.

The cultivation speed of the Soul Condensation Technique did not slow down.

According to normal patterns, the higher one's proficiency in a technique, the more difficult it becomes to advance. It might only take a few days to go from beginner to proficient, ten days to master, and even longer to reach a minor level of mastery.

However, the progress speed of the Soul Condensation Technique from mastery to minor success is almost the same as that from proficiency to mastery.

Li Yuan stopped cultivating and carefully sensed the state of his soul.

The strength of the soul was much higher than expected.

The long-term tempering of the soul light strengthens the divine soul, while the tempering effect of the evil energy returning to oneness continuously washes over the nodes of the divine soul, enhancing its condensation. The insights gained from alchemy further enhance the divine soul's perception as the alchemy technique becomes more proficient. With these accumulated nourishment over time, the strength of his divine soul has far exceeded the normal level of a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

His soul was strong enough, but he had never practiced any special soul cultivation techniques before.

It's like someone born with immense strength who has never practiced martial arts. They have ample reserves of strength but lack a systematic way to utilize it.

The Soul Condensation Technique is the first spiritual cultivation method. The process of cultivating it is not about accumulating spiritual power from scratch, but about incorporating the abundant spiritual power you already have into the operation system of the technique.

With such a solid foundation, the techniques are merely a process of organizing and refining what we've already accumulated, making it naturally much faster than starting from scratch.

Li Yuan continued his cultivation, and the panel popped up.
