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.

The original Spirit Spring had also grown significantly, and its outflow was sufficient to irrigate nearly a thousand acres of Spirit Fields.

"East Master, all our Spirit Fields have been cultivated. What kind of Spiritual Objects should we plant?" Yin Ze asked Wang Hong after organizing the Spirit Fields.

"We can plant Devilish Vine in all those ten-plus acres of second-tier Spirit Fields. You can collect more Demonic Beast corpses in the future to feed the Devilish Vine and accelerate its growth," Wang Hong said as he handed some Devilish Vine seeds to Yin Ze.

"Devilish Vine?" Yin Ze thought he had misheard and repeated his question.

"Yes, Devilish Vine! And we'll plant it densely," Wang Hong replied confidently.

"But East Master, what will we do with so much Devilish Vine?" Devilish Vine was considered a niche among Spiritual Objects. While some people might grow one or two, no one would plant over ten acres of seedlings at once.

"Of course, we'll sell them. Just plant them without worries; there will definitely be people willing to buy them at high prices in the future," Wang Hong said confidently.After discussing what to plant in the other one-tier Spirit Fields, Yin Ze asked, "What kind of Spiritual Objects should we plant in the remaining hundreds of acres of one-tier Spirit Fields?"

Since Wang Hong was so confident, Yin Ze believed it should be fine, but there were still many fields to be arranged.

"Plant three hundred acres of one-tier Spirit Grain, two hundred acres of two-tier Spirit Grain, and the rest can be used for planting some one-tier Spiritual Herbs," Wang Hong replied.

Wang Hong referred to the Spirit Grain he had mutated in his space as two-tier Spirit Grain.

Due to the recent rampant destruction by Treasure Hunters, combined with the large number of cultivators now crowded into this small area, various Spiritual Objects were becoming extremely scarce. Spirit Grain had a relatively short growth cycle, which meant they could be quickly harvested and supplied to the market.

Wang Hong had been hesitant to sell his previously planted two-tier Spirit Grain, as he had consumed it all within his group. But now, with his increased strength, he was more confident in expanding his operations.

He decided to plant most of the newly acquired Spirit Fields with Spirit Grain, anticipating that they would become highly sought-after when Spiritual Objects became scarce in the future.

After handling the situation in Mountain Valley, Wang Hong quietly visited the Mountain Valley guarded by Liu Changsheng.

Here, Liu Changsheng had also developed over eighty Foundation Building cultivators, but their overall strength still couldn't match that of the main Mountain Valley base.

Wang Hong made similar arrangements here, though the Devilish Vine count was still insufficient, so he only planted a small amount.

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.
