Chapter 343: Planting

After successfully planting the Devilish Vine, Wang Hong brought numerous Red Powder Skull Flowers from his space and placed them in the gaps and behind the Devilish Vine.

The Demonic Beasts that had narrowly escaped the Devilish Vine's attacks were now harvested by these Red Powder Skull Flowers. Those who could break through to attack the Mountain Valley defense formation would be in short supply.

Wang Hong looked at his masterpiece, and now, he was somewhat eager to see how those mindless Demonic Beasts would fare against this formation.

The weakest point of defense was now the valley entrance. It was inconvenient to set up these defenses there since it was the main entrance for everyone.

The reason Wang Hong was able to plant Red Powder Skull Flowers at the entrance last time was because the Fellowship Alliance had leaked information in advance. Wang Hong had prepared some gifts for them in return.

After that battle, he removed the Red Powder Skull Flowers from the entrance.

Next, Wang Hong reinforced the formation at the entrance and added more defensive and offensive formations.

After a dozen more days, the Spirit Vein seeds buried underground finally gave birth to Spirit Veins.

He had used over four thousand Spirit Vein seeds, equivalent to the quantity of more than forty medium-sized Spirit Veins. In the end, he successfully nurtured more than twenty small-sized Spirit Veins.

Even with just these twenty-plus small-sized Spirit Veins, the concentration of Spirit Qi in Mountain Valley had increased several times compared to before.

Even the Marketplace at the entrance was affected, with some miniature Spirit Veins appearing, attracting cultivators who wanted to rent houses and settle there long term.

Many factions in the vicinity, as latecomers, were satisfied with having one or two small-sized Spirit Veins to call their own.

Some factions had no Spirit Veins in their areas at all, and their cultivation relied solely on consuming resources.

The increase in Spirit Veins allowed over a thousand acres of land in the valley to become Spirit Fields.

Wang Hong ordered Yin Ze to organize a team to cultivate all the open spaces in Mountain Valley into Spirit Fields.

Due to the elevation in Spiritual Energy, they even expanded the number of second-tier Spirit Fields by more than ten acres.

With arrangements in place, Wang Hong was ready to return to the Sect. He had already received a summons from the Sect and expected to be assigned some tasks.

Upon returning to the Sect, Wang Hong paid a visit to Gu Qingyang first.

He had heard that Gu Qingyang had provided significant assistance during Zhan Shulong's incident, and as his disciple, he wanted to express his gratitude properly.

This time, he brought some Ink Pine Nuts with him. Gu Wei had mentioned that his mother enjoyed the Ink Pine Nuts Wang Hong had given her. Winning the favor of his master's wife could be even more beneficial than directly pleasing the master.

Of course, Wang Hong also brought a hundred catties of two-tier Spirit Grain as a gift for Gu Qingyang.

Since he planned to sell this Spirit Grain in the future, he decided to give some to Gu Qingyang now.

Gu Qingyang and his wife were delighted to receive Wang Hong's gifts.

At the same time, Gu Qingyang shared some news with Wang Hong. The Demon Clan had formed a Beast Tide around the outskirts of Qingxu Sect, and those coming this way were being driven forward as the vanguard.

The Sect was currently in need of capable individuals. Wang Hong's caravan had proven its combat strength, and his overall power was at least on par with a Golden Core cultivator. This was why there had been attempts to seize his assets previously.

However, the Sect was now focusing on recruiting him and his followers. With Gu Qingyang's support, no one would dare to use force against him.

Gu Qingyang hinted to him that if he were to be deployed in battle again, he could make some demands and seek benefits in return.

Following Gu Qingyang's guidance, Wang Hong met with the four hallmasters.

When Wang Hong entered the same great hall as before, all four hallmasters were present.

"Disciple Wang Hong pays respects to the four senior martial uncles. Disciple seeks the senior martial uncles' guidance!" Wang Hong bowed deeply as he entered.

"What do you need us to guide you on?" Blue Dragon Hallmaster asked, though he was silently wondering why this young disciple had dared to come here to seek judgment.
