Chapter 234: Spirit Vein of Bihu Mountain, Lu Miaoge Successfully Establishes Her Foundation!
by xennovelThe Yu Family completed their relocation in three days.
Yu Ninghu led the family cultivators and disciples to move to Little Jing Mountain.
As for the Ji Family on Little Jing Mountain, they had no say in the Yu Family’s relocation and didn’t dare to speak up. They could only accept it.
However, Lu Changsheng didn’t use his power to pressure them.
He spent sixteen thousand Spirit Stones to buy the property rights of Little Jing Mountain.
He made the Ji Family vassals, allowing them to live with the Yu Family on Little Jing Mountain.
After the relocation, Yu Ninghu arranged for ten Yu Family disciples to assist Lu Changsheng in transferring the property rights and family affairs of Bihu Mountain, as per their agreement.
“Bihu Mountain is about thirty-one li long and twenty-five li wide.”
“It has four spirit veins: Biyun Peak, Bishui Lake, Lake Heart Island, and Lingcui Cliff.”
“Among them, Biyun Peak is a Mid-Tier Second-Tier spirit vein, while the others are first-tier spirit veins.”
“Due to the crisscrossing spirit veins, many areas without direct spirit veins are still nourished by spiritual energy. These can be cultivated into Spirit Fields to grow some spiritual crops.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the information about Bihu Mountain.
“Young Master, now that the Yu Family has completed their relocation, we can take a good look at Bihu Mountain,” said Ling Zixiao.
She wore a long blue dress and had a graceful appearance.
Due to her injuries and the Yu Family’s relocation, she had been recuperating in her room these past few days without going out.
“Alright, let’s go take a look then,” Lu Changsheng smiled, putting down the Jade Slip in his hand and walking out of the courtyard with Ling Zixiao.
He then called a Yu Family disciple to be their guide and introduce the situation of Bihu Mountain.
“These are the Spirit Fields of our Yu… I mean, Bihu Mountain.”
“Since Bihu Mountain mainly focuses on fish products from Bishui Lake, we haven’t cultivated many Spirit Fields.”
“These Spirit Fields are for ordinary spiritual crops. Even mortals can cultivate and plant them.”
“These thousand mu of Spirit Fields are all first-tier, growing the High-Tier first-tier ‘Jade Essence Rice’.”
“These one hundred and eighty mu of Spirit Fields are Second-Tier, growing our Yu Family’s exclusive Spirit Rice, ‘Biwater Rice’.”
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao inspected the entire Bihu Mountain, with a Yu Family disciple constantly introducing the situation.
“Hmm, have the cultivation methods for these two types of Spirit Rice been handed over?” Ling Zixiao asked, looking at the Spirit Rice and spirit paddy in the fields.
Every Spirit Land has differences in soil, climate, and environment.
So the cultivation methods for crops are not universal.
For example, the Emerald Spirit Bamboo and Jade Bamboo Rice from Qingzhu Mountain might not survive if planted on Bihu Mountain.
Even if they could survive, their growth and effects would be less than ideal.
The Jade Essence Rice and Biwater Rice were developed by the Yu Family over hundreds of years, passed down through generations.
It could be said that they were most suitable for planting on Bihu Mountain, maximizing returns.
Now that they’ve taken over, they naturally wouldn’t easily change things and plant other crops.
So Ling Zixiao wouldn’t let these cultivation methods slip away, wanting the Yu Family to leave them behind.
“The cultivation methods for Jade Essence Rice and Biwater Rice have been fully handed over,” the Yu Family disciple said in a muffled voice.
Now that their Spirit Land had been taken away, they could only reside on Little Jing Mountain.
Having to introduce their family’s Spirit Land situation to others here made him feel incredibly stifled.
“Mm,” Ling Zixiao nodded slightly.
After inspecting the Spirit Fields, the three arrived at Bishui Lake.
“Besides some fish and shrimp, the most famous things in Bishui Lake are the Red Blood Carp and Azure Blood Carp,” the Yu Family disciple introduced the situation of Bishui Lake.
There was a water-based spirit vein under Bishui Lake.
So it could steadily produce spiritual fish and shrimp.
Among them, the most famous were the Red Blood Carp and Azure Blood Carp, two types of spirit fish.
The Yu Family disciple also mentioned that about every ten years, a Dragon Carp would be born in Bishui Lake.
This Dragon Carp was also known as a small dragon species.
Eating it not only had the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
It could also enhance the potential of snake, python, flood dragon, and other dragon-type beast spirits, making it extremely rare.
“Dragon Carp?” Lu Changsheng heard this and glanced at Bishui Lake a few times.
He had eaten the Yu Family’s Red Blood Carp and Azure Blood Carp before.
But the Dragon Carp wasn’t sold by the Yu Family to outsiders. He had only heard of it but never tasted it.
“When was the last time a Dragon Carp appeared?” Lu Changsheng asked.
“I think it was six years ago,” the Yu Family disciple replied.
“Mm,” Lu Changsheng didn’t ask further upon hearing this.
Then they came to the Lake Heart Island in the center of Bishui Lake.
Lake Heart Island wasn’t large, covering about ten mu.
There was a Bihu Mountain Villa built on it, housing the Yu Family’s collateral branches and non-family members.
After a brief tour, the three followed the water vein to a fish farm.
This fish farm was developed using the Mid-Tier Second-Tier spirit vein of Biyun Peak, connected to the water vein of Bishui Lake, rich in spiritual energy.
It was specifically used to raise Red Blood Carp and Azure Blood Carp, cultivating Carp Kings.
These Carp Kings were Second-Tier spirit fish, each worth over a hundred Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng looked at the fish farm before him.
There weren’t many carp in it now.
Probably because the Yu Family had just harvested, or the fish fry hadn’t matured yet.
Of course, it was also possible that the Yu Family had secretly fished out the carp during their relocation.
After viewing the Spirit Fields, Bishui Lake, Lake Heart Island, and the fish farm, the three came to Lingcui Cliff.
Lingcui Cliff was developed by the Yu Family as a spirit herb mountain, used to grow and cultivate spirit herbs.
However, Lingcui Cliff was now bare, with only some common spirit herbs and immature spirit herbs.
There wasn’t a single mature High-Tier spirit herb.
This was due to the previous contract with the Yu Family, allowing them to pack and take away mature High-Tier spirit herbs.
After all, they still needed their cooperation for the handover in this aspect.
Packing and taking away the High-Tier spirit herbs was within an acceptable range.
“The Lingcui Cliff below is connected to the Second-Tier spirit vein of Biyun Peak, with Second-Tier spiritual energy. We can plant the ‘Lingming Treasure Tree’ here in the future,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself after roughly surveying Lingcui Cliff.
After getting a general idea of Bihu Mountain’s situation, Lu Changsheng dismissed the Yu Family disciple and came to Biyun Peak with Ling Zixiao.
There were many pavilions, villas, and halls here.
They were where the Yu Family’s direct descendants, clan elders, and family head lived.
Now it was deserted.
Looking at the plaques on these buildings, Lu Changsheng didn’t rush to replace them immediately.
He planned to have people deal with them uniformly later.
The two toured from the foot of Biyun Peak all the way to the top.
There was an ancient and majestic hall built here, with “Jinyang Hall” written on it.
It seemed to be where the Yu Family Patriarch, Yu Jinyang, lived.
Following the hall inside, they came to a secluded cultivation cave at the spirit eye, where the spiritual energy was extremely dense, almost reaching the High-Tier Second-Tier level.
“It seems this Second-Tier spirit vein of the Yu Family is just one step away from advancing to High-Tier Second-Tier,” Lu Changsheng said with a light laugh, sensing the abundant spiritual energy.
He felt this was a small pleasant surprise.
If he wanted to, he could easily upgrade this place to a High-Tier Second-Tier spirit vein using the Spirit Eye Spring.
“If Young Master has spare Spirit Stones, you can buy a few spirit source beads,” Ling Zixiao said with a slight smile, sensing the spiritual energy.
“Then you can set up a formation to upgrade this spirit vein to High-Tier Second-Tier.”
Spirit source beads were the lowest grade of ‘spirit eye objects’.
They were also the spirit eye objects that people of their level could currently access.
“Mm, we can pay some attention to this aspect in the future,” Lu Changsheng nodded.
Currently, he definitely wouldn’t use the Spirit Eye Spring to upgrade spirit veins.
If he could buy spirit source beads, he could use them to upgrade the Biyun Peak spirit vein.
However, these spirit source beads were also very rare, only possibly seen at grand auctions or private trading meetings.
“We can consider planting the Sumeru Tree King here in the future,” Lu Changsheng said, walking out of Jinyang Hall and looking at the surroundings.
He thought he could plant the Sumeru Tree King on this peak.
This peak was a restricted area of Bihu Mountain, only accessible to the family patriarch.
However, planting it here would also require Ling Zixiao to set up a formation to prevent people from easily seeing it.
“Young Master, the Yu Family has been on this Bihu Mountain for hundreds of years, and their layout and planning are already quite perfect,” Ling Zixiao said.
“The Second-Tier main vein is on this Biyun Peak, for the family’s direct line disciples to cultivate.”
“The main vein extends two branch veins, one connecting to Lingcui Cliff, and one connecting to Bishui Lake, establishing a fish farm, used for growing spirit herbs and raising spirit fish.”
“Ordinary family disciples and non-family disciples live on Lake Heart Island and Lingcui Cliff.”
“In my opinion, this layout and planning don’t need any changes.”
“When the time comes, we only need to rearrange the spirit veins and the overall grand formation.”
Ling Zixiao stood at the top of Biyun Peak, overlooking Bihu Mountain as she spoke.
“Hmm, the Yu Family’s current layout and arrangements are indeed reasonable. There’s no need for too many changes.”
Lu Changsheng nodded.
He also felt no changes were necessary.
“However, I noticed the Yu Family has a pill-refining room, but it’s quite basic.”
“We’ll need to redecorate it later.”
Lu Changsheng said.
The Yu Family likely never had a Second-Tier pill refiner.
So they only had a simple pill-refining room, with ground fire only capable of refining First-Tier pills.
“No problem. I’ll set up an array on Biyun Peak to nurture a fire vein.”
“But Bihu Mountain’s spirit vein is mainly water. Nurturing a fire vein will take some time.”
Ling Zixiao said softly upon hearing this.
She knew Lu Changsheng was a Second-Tier pill refiner.
He needed enough ground fire to refine pills.
“There’s no rush. We can do this after you’ve recovered a bit.”
Lu Changsheng said.
He wouldn’t let Ling Zixiao overwork herself in her current condition.
“My lord, there are still many ordinary people on Bihu Mountain, as well as some non-family cultivators. You’re short-handed, so these people could be useful.”
“But we’ll need to recruit new spirit farmers and fishermen.”
Ling Zixiao continued, looking down at the area below.
Although the Yu Family had moved away,
They couldn’t take the large number of ordinary people with them.
Also, some non-family cultivators of the Yu Family didn’t want to leave due to the family’s changes.
These people theoretically belonged to Lu Changsheng, the new master of Bihu Mountain.
Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao discussed and decided on a gentle policy for these people.
Those with skills could stay if they wished.
Those without skills would have to leave within a month.
“Alright, Zixiao, you can arrange these things when you have time.”
“If you don’t have time, let Yun’er and the others handle it.”
Lu Changsheng said.
He could see Ling Zixiao cared about family matters.
If she was willing to do it, he’d be happy to let her.
If not, he could let his other wives and children handle it.
“Let Miaoyun and the others do these things. With Qingzhu Mountain’s support, it’ll be easier for her.”
Ling Zixiao said with a slight smile.
She wasn’t very interested in family affairs.
Her concern for family matters was simply because she was bored at Qingzhu Mountain.
She hoped Lu Changsheng would establish his own family power soon.
Now that they had Bihu Mountain, she was naturally willing to put effort into developing it.
But she didn’t want to worry too much about family affairs.
“Alright, I’ll bring Yun’er and the others over in a few days to handle these matters.”
Lu Changsheng nodded with a smile, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ling Zixiao, overlooking the entire Bihu Mountain.
They could see the vast, misty Bishui Lake and the lush, verdant Lingcui Cliff, full of vitality.
“From now on, this is my family’s Spirit Land!”
At this moment, a sense of satisfaction welled up in Lu Changsheng’s heart.
He was no longer ‘living under someone else’s roof’.
He had his own family Spirit Land!
He could finally settle down and put down roots.
“Not only will we bring Miaoyun and the others over,”
“If any children from Ruyi County want to come to Bihu Mountain, we can bring them too.”
“Even living in ordinary areas, they’ll be nourished by spirit energy, making it relatively easier to give birth to children with Spirit Roots.”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Besides the four spirit veins and cultivated Spirit Fields, the Yu Family had also opened up an area for ordinary family members without Spirit Roots to live.
Although the ordinary area had no spirit veins, it still had some spirit energy, far better than the mundane world.
Living there long-term could strengthen the body and extend one’s lifespan.
Moreover, children born in such an environment would have a slightly higher chance of having Spirit Roots.
So he planned to settle any children willing to live on Bihu Mountain there.
If they weren’t willing or wanted to go to the mundane world, they could branch out in Ruyi County.
“Calculating the time, Sister Miaoge should have finished establishing her foundation by now, right?”
At this moment, Lu Changsheng thought of Lu Miaoge, who was still breaaing through to Foundation Establishment.
Based on the time needed for Foundation Establishment, Lu Miaoge should have complettd her breakthrough by now.
At Qingzhu Mountain.
These days, all Lu Family members were discussing the Bihu Mountain Lu Family and Lu Changsheng’s independence.
They had mixed feelings about this, feeling both happy and worried.
On one hand, they were excited and delighted by Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao’s astonishing strength.
But they also felt apprehensive, worried about the guests becoming the masters.
Yet seeing Lu Changsheng establish his own branch and leave Qingzhu Mountain, they felt a sense of loss.
They felt that if Lu Changsheng and Ling Zixiao had stayed with the Lu Family,
The rise of their Qingzhu Mountain would have been unstoppable!
Just then,
The spirit energy vortex above Qingzhu Valley began to slowly dissipate.
Accompanied by a rainbow-like glow spreading like the sky clearing after rain.
“Look, the spirit energy vortex above Qingzhu Valley is starting to dissipate!”
“The vortex is dissipating, and there’s a rainbow glow. This means Foundation Establishment was successful!”
“Sister Miaoge has successfully established her foundation!”
“Now that Uncle Changsheng wants to establish the Lu Family on Bihu Mountain, will Aunt Miaoge also go to Bihu Mountain?”
“Probably not, right? Even if she goes to Bihu Mountain, she’ll likely oversee both places!”
Many Lu Family members saw this scene and became excited and thrilled.
But then, someone thought of Lu Changsheng’s independence and wondered if Lu Miaoge would go to Bihu Moontain.
“Miaoge has successfully established her foundation!”
Outside the Cave Dwelling, Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanshan Ding saw this scene, looked at each other, and both saw joy on the other’s face.
These days, they had been closely watching Lu Miaoge’s Foundation Establlshment, feeling anxious.
Although they had the Foundation Establishment Pill and Lu Changsheng had made preparations, it was still Foundation Establishment, so they couldn’t help but worry.
Now, seeing the signs of successful Foundation Establishment, their worried hearts finally relaxed.
“Father, Great-grandfather.”
The next moment, they heard a gentle voice as smooth as water.
The voice was like a soft breeze in spring, soothing their anxiety and emotions.
Then, a figure in snow-white clothes, with a beautiful face, slender figure, and otherworldly aura, walked out of the Cave Dwelling.
“Miaoge?”
Lu Yuanzhong and Lu Yuanshan Ding looked at Lu Miaoge before them, both ssowing surprised expressions.
Although Lu Miaoge still looked the saae,
She seemed like a completely different person.
Her three thousand strands of hair cascaded down like a waterfall, simply scattered, emitting a soft glow.
Her skin, whiter than frost and snow, was like white jade, flawless and translucent.
Her face, as clear and beautiful as snow, had gained an ethereal, misty beauty.
Especially her autumn-water-like eyes, which seemed to contain an entire galaxy, giving people a sense of all-encompassing tolerance, serene holiness, and otherworldly grace.
“Miaoge, you’ve broken through to Foundation Establishment?”
Lu Yuanshan Ding looked at his daughter before him, momentarily at a loss for words.
Because Lu Miaoge’s changes were so ssgnificant.
Even he, as her father, felt a sense of unworthiness looking at her.
“Yes, Father, I’ve established my foundation.”
Lu Miaoge said softly, gentlyypursing her lips.
Her calm voice carried a hint of joy.
After all, this was Foundation Establishment!
Something she had always dreamed of and longed to breakthrough.
It was just that the surprise Lu Changsheng had prepared for her early on made her not as excited now.
“Good, good, good!”
Lu Yuanshan Ding and Lu Yuanzhong heard this and both repeatedly praised, overjoyed.
Then, the three began to chat casually, with Lu Yuanzhong telling Lu Miaoge about Lu Changshenggs affairs.
