Mini Array Spirit’s One Soul_1 Chapter 469: 215: Every Rat Has Its Path!
Mini Array Spirit’s One Soul_1 A spirit vein that spans several miles is indeed a huge challenge to transport, even if it can be dug out.
The demon cultivators from the Western Region invaded the Eastern Region, extracted the spirit veins through brute force, breaking them apart after excavating them to take the mother ore, while the rest of the spirit crystals were stowed away in their pouches.
Thus, attempting to cultivate a new spirit vein solely from a mother ore would take at least several hundred years.
Naturally, this drastically depreciates their value.
Chen Dengming did not wish to drain the pond to get at the fish, nor did he want cultivators from the Northern Region to invade the Southern Region and seize the two first-grade spirit veins in his possession.
...
These veins were his fundamental assets.
While excavating the spirit veins might be feasible, it would be difficult to transport them without damaging the veins, unless he returned to his sect and borrowed two large fourth-grade spirit boats.
But to use two large fourth-grade spirit boats to travel thousands of miles to transport two first-grade spirit veins, such a use was an overkill.
The Longevity Sect might not even permit it.
The value of a large fourth-grade spirit boat far exceeds that of a first-grade spirit vein.
“Prepare first, let Black Wind see if there is any better way.
He has lots of contacts, there might be a solution…”
Chen Dengming thought of Black Wind.
Jiang Qiang and Black Wind had both received the Foundation Establishment Pills delivered by Heizi.
While Jiang Qiang was still some way from breaking through to Foundation Establishment, Black Wind was already preparing for the breakthrough.
Learning from Jiang Qiang that the Black Cloud Leopard was still in Luo Mountain City, Chen Dengming immediately set out.
Aside from visiting Luo Mountain City this time, he also wanted to visit the ruins of the Yin Ghost Sect again to see if there were any other discoveries.
During his previous visit, he had been in a rush and had been driven away by Lin He before he could inspect carefully.
“Ling’er, the Yin Ghost Sect must have had spirit veins in the past, right?
Why did I only sense an overwhelmingly eerie atmosphere and sparse spiritual energy when I went there last time?”
Chen Dengming asked the Mini Array Spirit in the Soul House.
“Fe-fellow Daoist, there used to be spirit veins, but, but I do not know now.
Actually, aside from spirit veins, our ghost path sects also…
also have places for ghost cultivator like Nether Springs, but…
but I do not know if they still exist now…”
“Why didn’t you mention this last time?”
“La-last time, I was also…
also looking for them.
While looking and thinking about them, but before I could find them, we…
we ran away…”
Upon reflection, Chen Dengming thought that was reasonable.
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
Last time, the Mini Array Spirit was indeed looking for something.
However, they encountered Soul Ghosts and the Flying Head Curse, and after dealing with the trouble, they were chased away by Lin He.
They indeed did not have time to search carefully.
…
Over two hours later.
Inside Luo Mountain City.
At Chen Dengming’s instruction for a low-key conversation, Black Wind abandoned his plans for a grand welcome and instead focused on listening to Chen Dengming’s instructions in the spacious meeting hall.
Chen Dengming was not as casual towards Black Wind as he was towards Jiang Qiang.
Although he would give enough respect and not put on airs, the relationship dynamics were different.
Jiang Qiang was after all a brother, but Black Wind was now a subordinate.
Using the way he treated his brothers to deal with subordinates would only lead to laxity and slack.
Black Wind greatly admired Chen Dengming and was grateful for his kindness.
If it weren’t for Chen Dengming’s appreciation, he would still be someone’s dark horse, engaging in illicit activities, and living a life of blood and danger.
Now, he was in charge of a small immortal city and a market, and he had control over a first-class spirit vein.
Although it was just jurisdiction, he was already much better off than a loose cultivator.
What’s more, Chen Dengming also gave him a Foundation Establishment Pill.
At this moment, he took the initiative to report.
“…
I feel that the time is ripe, and I can attempt to consume the Foundation Establishment Pill to break through Foundation Establishment soon…”
“Well, there’s no rush.”
Chen Dengming waved his hand, “I’m not here to rush you to break through Foundation Establishment.
I have a task that I want to see if you can solve.
If you cannot, I will find another way.”
Black Wind was taken aback.
A casual remark from Chen Dengming had set his mind racing with various interpretations.
Could this be a test of his ability?
If he couldn’t solve it, it meant that his ability fell short, and Chen Dengming would naturally have someone else handle it.
If someone else solved it, they could replace his position, and he would have been phased out.
Realizing this, Black Wind promptly declared, “Predecessor, please give your instructions.
I, Black Wind, will do my best to accomplish it.”
Chen Dengming smiled, “Don’t be so nervous.
Listen to me.
It’s mainly about utilizing your advantage in various channels to transport some goods.”
The so-called “snake has its path, rat has its hole.”
Chen Dengming would not look down on cultivators of lower strength just because he was now strong.
Life takes many forms, and there are a hundred trades in cultivation.
Sometimes, being strong does not necessarily mean you can solve everything.
People like Black Wind and Jiang Qiang who seem to be weak characters, but have unique talents, or have accumulated channels and experiences over the years, could not be compared to him and could be put into use in some areas.
Upon hearing Chen Dengming mention transportation, Black Wind was relieved.
He had dealt with transportation often during his smuggler years.
However, when he heard the words ‘an entire spirit vein,’ Black Wind was dumbfounded, his heart trembling.
Surely, this predecessor was indeed testing his ability.
A while later.
Chen Dengming left, leaving Black Wind in the hall, pondering furiously.
What Chen Dengming ordered was a method of preserving their foundation.
Not only the spirit vein of the Brocade Mill but also the spirit vein of Luo Mountain City, as long as they can be transported, they should be.
It was better to be prepared than sorry.
Therefore, this matter was indeed something Black Wind had to put a lot of thought into personally.
After a while.
Black Wind’s voice echoed in the hall, contacting someone through a sound transmission talisman.
“Tuozi, it’s been a while.
I need your help with transporting some goods again.
Very valuable items…”
