Furthermore, he is going to take control of the All Ages Alliance as the Alliance Hierarch of Yuzhou, leading the members of the Alliance to carve out a place for themselves.
He took out a Communication Talisman to contact Yu Gao and get some information about the outside world.
Next, Fang Hao began to explore the path of mystical symbol crafting.
After condensing his Divine Intent State, both Artifact Refining and Formation creation saw significant improvements. He was now able to apply some arcane techniques, displaying their basic power.
After five days of research and repeated experimentation, and after wasting some materials, the first symbol array was born.
It’s a Fog Array Talisman!
Once activated, it will produce a layer of mist, enveloping everyone within. The mist possesses effects that block vision, sensing and divine soul energy.
“Finally succeeded!”
Although the Fog Talisman is considered common and low-value, this is a breakthrough from zero to one.
The successful refinement of this Fog Talisman signifies that his understanding of the path of mystical symbol crafting is correct.
Jade Talismans with different effects can also be refined using this method.
At the moment when Fang Hao successfully crafted the Fog Talisman, the Daoist Golden Book on Li Xuan’s Soul Pedestal opened.
“Your disciple has comprehended the path of mystical symbol crafting, you have obtained the veritable understanding of the symbol path!”
Li Xuan was secretly delighted. The method that Fang Hao figured out to refine Jade Talismans was to arrange a Formation within the Jade Talisman, then use a restriction to seal the power of the Formation within the Jade Talisman.
Once activated, the restriction would be lifted, and the sealed Formation power would be put into action.
It must be said that Fang Hao has extraordinary talent in Artifact Refining.
…
“Brother Xu, Brother Meng, we meet again!”
Shen Haizhou, upon seeing Xu Yan and Meng Chong, couldn’t help but sigh.
The two master and disciple are really good at hiding. Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family searched Yuzhou thoroughly, but they didn’t find anything, instead, they discovered an under-constructed alliance of Loose Cultivators.
Moreover, this alliance of Loose Cultivators actually had the presence of a Refining God Heavenly Man, and not just one, which shocked all the Spirit Sects and families in Yuzhou.
After a series of blows, it seemed that this alliance of Loose Cultivators was about to collapse.
Rumor has it that the leader of the Loose Cultivators, a Martial Artist in the late stages of Refining God, was severely injured by the great elder Zhu Liang of the Yu Shen Sect, and if he’s not dead, he’s at least half-wasted.
“Brother Shen, where are the spirit mines of the Yu Shen Sect? Do you have any information?”
Xu Yan didn’t beat around the bush, asking straightforwardly.
Shen Haizhou, hearing this, immediately brightened up. He took out a ready-made map and spread it out on the table, “Here are the locations of the spirit mines belonging to the Yu Shen Sect. These two spirit mines, although they are owned by the Yu Shen Sect, are just small-scale ones.
“These two, however, are the real core spirit mines of the Yu Shen Sect, and, there is a likely chance that the Spirit Crystals inside contain Earth Soul Flowers.”
“This is currently the closest to the core spirit mines of the Yu Shen Sect that we know of. Whether there are bigger, more hidden spirit mines is unknown.”
Shen Haizhou pointed at the map, introducing the spirit mines marked out.
The eyes of Xu Yan and Meng Chong fell on the two large mines. Their goal would definitely be the core large mines of the Yu Shen Sect, especially since it is believed that there might be Spiritual Medicine known as Earth Soul Flowers growing in these two mines.
“Brother Xu, Brother Meng, the core large mines of the Yu Shen Sect are being occupied by the Refining God Heavenly Man. It’s impossible to quickly empty out the Spirit Crystals inside. In my opinion, it’s still better to focus on the small mine. Its loss itself would also be a significant blow to the Yu Shen Sect.”
Swallowing a lump of saliva, Shen Haizhou watched as Xu Yan and Meng Chong intensively eyed the large mines, and this made him feel somewhat uneasy.
If they really succeeded in taking over these large mines, the Yu Shen Sect would truly go crazy.
They might even be willing to pay any cost to invite external forces for help!
He was also worried that the matter of him providing information would be exposed.
Although, up until now, nobody knew that he had contacted Xu Yan and Meng Chong, and even less people knew that he had leaked information.
However, there is no wall that doesn’t leak in the world, and god forbid it gets exposed, that would land him in trouble.
“The small mines are not interesting. Let’s go with the two large ones,” said Xu Yan excitedly.
Swallowing his saliva, Shen Haizhou said, “But the mines are too large, we can’t mine them all. The guy I was looking for is gone. Without his giant toad capable of swallowing mountains, how can we quickly move so many Spirit Crystals?”
“Could it be that Brother Xu and Brother Meng, you’re targeting the Earth Soul Flowers inside? But it’s just a rumor that these flowers exist, we’re not sure yet.
“Furthermore, if the Earth Soul Flowers are growing deep inside the Spirit Mine, once we go in, it’ll be dangerous if we can’t get out quickly and get trapped inside.”
Xu Yan patted his shoulder and said, “These are all trivial matters. Brother Shen doesn’t need to worry. The friend you’re looking for won’t be needed. My master brother and I already have a plan.”
“If there really are Earth Soul Flowers in there, I shall certainly share the medicinal pill concocted from them with Brother Shen,”
Shen Haizhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, almost imagining how frenzied the Spirit Sect would be. He reminded, “After this venture, Brother Xu and Brother Meng, leave Yuzhou immediately or the Spirit Sect will lose their minds.”
Meng Chong smirked, “It would be perfect if the Spirit Sect went mad. What’s the significance of a mere two Spirit mines? The ultimate goal is to raid the Spirit Sect’s treasure vault!”
Shen Haizhou broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. This was too insane, too daring, where did they even get such audacity?
The Spirit Sect is known as the top sect in Yuzhou, and that’s no joke. Whether in strength or depth, they are terrifying. Also, even if the Spirit Sect’s own capabilities fall short, they can always call for outside help.
They have some connections with the powerful Spirit Sects from other provinces, and it’s safe to say that the Spirit Sect has a strong backing.
“Brother Shen, we will trouble you for the Spirit Sect’s intelligence. We only need information about Zhu Liang of the Spirit Sect, as well as the Refining God Martial Artists’ movements and the situation around the large mine. We will regroup a few days later.”
Xu Yan put away the map and turned to Shen Haizhou.
Shen Haizhou gritted his teeth and nodded, “No problem, leave it to me!”
He was already on the pirate ship, so if he were to retreat at this point, wouldn’t it make him seem like garbage?
Moreover, how thrilling would it be to overthrow the Spirit Sect, the top sect?
Xu Yan and Meng Chong bid farewell and left, returning to the manor with the map.
“So this is the Spirit Sect’s large mine. Earth Soul Flower, divine-grade spiritual medicine!”
Fang Hao was thrilled. Him, a commoner, was finally about to raid a Spirit Sect’s large mine one day!
“Really have Earth Soul Flower? I have a dan prescription that lacks this precious spiritual medicine. If it’s refined, it can significantly enhance my divine intent and make my cultivation in the Divine Intent State much faster.”
Su Lingxiu was also extremely excited.
“The possibility is high.”
The bounty for chasing him by the Spirit Sect mentioned the Earth Soul Flower, and Earth Soul Flower is born in Spirit Crystal veins.
The three senior brothers discussed and planned for a while before inviting Yu Gao over.
After breaking through to the Divine Intent State, Fang Hao re-crafted the Communication Talisman. The communication range was at least over one hundred thousand miles; within hundreds of thousands of miles, communication could be unimpeded.
Also, the Communication Talisman had an added communication recording function and could add new communicators. It was not limited to communication only within one set of Communication Talismans.
He also crafted some Jade Talismans like the Mist Talisman. At crucial moments, it can be used to daze enemies and buy time for escape.
After hearing Xu Yan’s plan, Yu Gao felt his scalp was tingling. These three brothers were truly audacious and absolutely insane!
Not only did they plan to raid the Spirit Sect’s Spirit Crystal mine, but they were also planning to create opportunities to sneak into the Spirit Sect to plunder their treasure vault!
As a Martial Artist in the late stage of the Refining God, he trembled after hearing all that.
“Are we really going to do this?”
Yu Gao asked anxiously.
The three brothers, Xu Yan, looked at him disdainfully. This former Alliance Hierarch of the All Ages Alliance, was he not too timid?
“Protector Yu, if the All Ages Alliance keeps hiding, I fear we will lose our resolve, our passion will wear out, our courage will be exhausted.”
“Without passion, without resolve, without courage, even if the All Ages Alliance were to reappear in the world, it’d lose its fighting spirit. That’s unacceptable! Although we are developing cautiously, we must not forget to wreak havoc secretively!”
Fang Hao sighed deeply.
To develop this All Ages Alliance, he really has to rely on himself, the new Alliance Hierarch!
“Alright, I will follow the Hierarch’s orders!”
Yu Gao gritted his teeth and said.
The Hierarch was right; we cannot lose our passion, we cannot lose our courage!
“That’s more like it.”
Fang Hao gave him over a dozen Jade Talismans, “These are the Mist Talismans. Upon activation, a large cloud of confusing mist will appear, blocking the enemy’s perception and Divine Soul power, allowing time for escape.”
Yu Gao took the Mist Talismans, his face full of disbelief. Apart from the Communication Talisman, are there other such magical items?
“You can give it a try to familiarize yourself.”
Fang Hao reminded him.
“Yes, Hierarch!”
Yu Gao shot the Jade Talisman out and activated the Mist Talisman. With a bang, a cloud of thick fog instantly descended covering a radius of dozens of feet. When he tried to reach out with his Divine Soul, he found he could not penetrate the fog.
