“Brother Chen!”
Jiang Qiang hurried over in two strides per three steps, about to kneel and bow.
“Eh?
Are you playing this trick with me again?” Chen Dengming looked unhappy.
Jiang Qiang gave a knowing smirk and quickly gave up his bows, and then a thought struck him, he asked,
“Brother Chen, did you hear the commotion from hundreds of miles away yesterday?”
Chen Dengming smirked and responded, “You’re so clever, Qiangzi, could it be that you haven’t figured it out yet?”
Jiang Qiang was both surprised and elated, “So, it was you who made all the commotion, Brother Chen!
You really scared us lackeys.
...
Many cultivators fled from the Brocade Mill last night, and more did so today.
You’re not hurt, are you?”
“A slight injury, but it’s already healed,” Chen Dengming waved his hand and spoke solemnly.
“You should already have received some information.”
Jiang Qiang’s face became serious, “Yes, I heard that the cultivators of the Northern Region are imminently going to cross the Bright Cloud Mountain Range and invade the Southern Region?”
This would likely provoke another brutal war.
Having personally survived the war waged by the Western Region against the Eastern Region, Jiang Qiang knew all too well the potential dangers that the Brocade Mill would face once such a war broke out.
“For now, it’s relatively alright.
The sects from the Northern Region seem to be holding back because of some concerns.
They’re pretty restrained.
However, as more time passes, it’d be hard to say…”
Chen Dengming got up and paced around the room, then asked, “What are your plans?”
Jiang Qiang responded, “Originally, I planned to gather all my assets, leave some trusted people to manage the market, and hide myself in Nanxun for safety whilst occasionally coming out to check on the condition of the Brocade Mill and manage it remotely.
Maybe after seven or eight years, the problems here would resolve themselves.
However, I need to seek your opinion on this.”
Chen Dengming nodded slightly, “It’s a good plan.
If there are no better countermeasures, this is the best plan to preserve our interests and ensure safety.
You should prepare for it and wait for my notice.”
Jiang Qiang answered, “Understood!”
Retaining one’s livelihood ensures there will be wood to burn.
By preserving one’s life and wealth, one can create more benefits and wealth when better opportunities arise in the future.
Chen Dengming and Jiang Qiang were in full agreement on this point.
If the Northern Region really does invade, then they will have no choice but to abandon their base.
The most critical thing to do is to ensure that the entrance to Nanxun isn’t discovered.
This was one of the main reasons for establishing the base in the first place.
However, there are currently no signs of an invasion from the Northern Region, not even small-scale probes.
This suggests that things haven’t developed in the worst possible direction.
Chen Dengming decided that once he gets back, he’ll devote himself to cultivating for the Golden Core breakthrough.
If he could break through to the Golden Core, many threats and difficulties would be either eliminated or greatly diminished.
“Take me to the Spirit Vein.
If we can extract it, let’s do so.
Don’t leave a single hair for the cultivators from the Northern Region.”
“Understood!” Hearing this, Jiang Qiang was overjoyed and immediately led the way.
A while later, the two of them arrived at a bizarre place that looked like a Spirit Vein mine filled with clusters of crystal ore.
The spiritual energy here was extraordinarily dense.

The shiny crystal stones on the grey-brown rocks were actually highly pure Spirit Crystals.
If you select some with good quality and mine them out, they can be turned into low-grade Spirit Crystals.
Trim off some corners, and they can be exchanged among low-rank loose cultivators as Spiritual Grains.
Chen Dengming’s eyes lit up, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he quickly visualized the entire layout of the Spirit Crystal vein in his mind.
This Spirit Vein, a few miles long, resembled a colossal earthen dragon lying within the mountains.
A Spirit Vein of this length was considered top-grade.
If fully mined, it could yield hundreds of thousands of low-grade Spirit Crystals or several thousand high-grade ones when conversions are applied.
Yet, the Spirit Vein’s value lies in its regenerative properties, making it a viable foundation for cultivating generations of talents.
Thus, exploiting a Spirit Vein recklessly is not advisable.
As long as the mother lode remains, it will regenerate over time.
Mining veins require utmost caution.
Chen Dengming estimated the effort required.
With his current strength, it wouldn’t be a problem to mine this Spirit Vein.
Although it would be laborious, the reward would be substantial.
However, the question is, where can he store the entire mined Spirit Vein later…
