If the Luoyun Sect suddenly comes to reclaim it in the future, then all his efforts would be in vain, and everything he worked for would go up in smoke.

"Alright then!"

Yang Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Although the sale of Purple Bamboo Mountain isn't a major affair, I must still return to the sect to report and prepare a Spirit Contract."

If it were another Foundation Establishment Cultivator asking to buy the spiritual land of Purple Bamboo Mountain, he would definitely ignore it, but after all, Xu Ping is a Third-stage Talisman Master.

To the Luoyun Sect, a Third-stage Talisman Master is far more valuable than a Golden Core cultivator.

"Thank you, Elder Yang!" Xu Ping's face was full of gratitude, and he cupped his hands in sincere thanks.

"It's nothing."

Yang Hong smiled faintly and continued, "In my estimation, Purple Bamboo Mountain would sell for at most twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones, with Fellow Daoist Xu's wealth, purchasing it is more than affordable."

"Twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones?"

Hearing this price, a hint of surprise flashed in Xu Ping's eyes.

This price is indeed a bargain, almost equivalent to ten years' rent.

Thanks to the current unique situation, he has the hope of acquiring it at such a low price.

Under normal circumstances, it would cost at least a hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones just to make the Luoyun Sect take a look.

"Then I'll eagerly await good news from Elder Yang." Xu Ping chuckled, enthusiastically refilling Yang Hong's cup with Spirit Tea.

...

...

Half an hour later, Yang Hong departed Thousand Leaves Mountain on an Escape Light.

The Escape Light sliced through the sky, leaving behind a faint streak before quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Meanwhile, back with Xu Ping, as soon as Yang Hong left, he eagerly entered the cultivation room, taking out the jade slip that recorded the 'Earth Master' inheritance.

"Let's see if there's any method to upgrade the Spirit Vein in this inheritance!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Xu Ping's eyes, and he immediately used his Divine Sense to carefully investigate it.

Time silently passed, and several hours went by in a flash.

Finally, Xu Ping slowly withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip, his eyes full of exhilaration: "There are actually so many methods, all capable of upgrading the Spirit Vein!"

This Earth Master inheritance, though only a Quasi-Tier Three inheritance, recorded three methods to upgrade Second-stage large Spirit Veins to Quasi-Tier Three Spirit Veins.

First, by using an Array called "Purifying Spirit Nourishing Vein Array."

This type of Array can cleanse impurities in the Spirit Vein and rearrange the chaotic Spiritual Qi pathways, like giving the Spirit Vein a deep clean and nurture, aiding in the enhancement of the Spirit Vein's level.

Second, through the 'Earth Master's' unique Secret Technique: Guide Spirit into Vein.

Performed during specific times, on a full moon night and during Spiritual Qi tides, the Earth Master casts a special Magic, connecting the Spiritual Qi channels between heaven and earth, guiding powerful external Spiritual Qi torrents into the Spirit Vein.

Third, by using a low-level Spiritual Beast known as "Spirit Worm."

It excels at digging underground, loosening the soil around the Spirit Vein to promote the circulation of Spiritual Qi.

Meanwhile, providing some Spiritual Objects for it to consume, the substances excreted by the Spirit Worm after digestion are rich in Spiritual Power, serving as high-quality fertilizer for the Spirit Vein, helping to enhance the quality of the Spirit Vein.

...

Although each of these three methods has its own wonders, the unfortunate part is that they require a very long time.

Under normal circumstances, it would take decades, even centuries, to successfully upgrade the Spirit Vein.

However, Xu Ping was not discouraged by this, instead, a bold idea emerged in his heart—he planned to implement all three methods simultaneously.

By coordinating three approaches, he might increase the speed of upgrading the Spirit Vein two or threefold.

More importantly, he has a skilled panel, as long as he practices 'Guide Spirit into Vein' to a high enough realm.

The efficiency of his once implementation would be at least several times, if not more than ten times that of an ordinary person.

Moreover, he only plans to upgrade the Spirit Vein of Thousand Leaves Mountain to Quasi-Tier Three, places like Duan Shuang and Gong Yang's cultivation sites aren't within his consideration.

The 'Earth Master' inheritance records that large Second-stage Upper Grade Spirit Veins sprawl extensively, independently upgrading a segment of the Spirit Vein is entirely doable.

All that's needed is to set a partition Array on the Spirit Vein, to prevent the Spiritual Qi within the veins from circulating and dissipating.

In this way, the speed of his Spirit Vein upgrade would certainly be swift, and the success rate extremely high.

Very feasible!

"Before that, I still need to master the core Magic of the Earth Master, 'Earth Master's Gaze.'" Xu Ping contemplated inwardly.

This Magic allows the Spirit Vein to present itself in unique colors and forms in the Earth Master's eyes.

With this technique, the "Earth Master" can easily locate the precise location of the Spirit Vein, laying a solid foundation for subsequent operations on the Spirit Vein.

Suppressing his excitement, Xu Ping began to studiously learn 'Earth Master's Gaze.'"

As for the Artifact Embryo crafting, it's not urgent at this moment, and it's not too late to craft it after learning the 'Earth Master's Gaze.'

...

...

Meanwhile.

The Spiritual Boat carrying Yang Hong was racing through the sky like a meteor.

Wherever the Spiritual Boat passed, the air was swiftly sliced, producing a slight whistling sound.

As the Spiritual Boat flew like a lightning bolt over a desolate mountain and wilderness, a sudden change occurred!

Out of nowhere, a black Spiritual Power arrow tens of feet long, carrying terrifying Spiritual pressure that filled the air with fear, attacked Yang Hong rapidly like a prehistoric beast.

Wherever the Spiritual Power arrow passed, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was thrown into chaos.

"Not good!"

Yang Hong's face drastically changed as he unhesitatingly summoned a special golden bell.

The golden bell rapidly expanded to ten feet tall in the wind, radiating brilliant golden light like a blazing sun suspended in the sky.

The golden bell enveloped Yang Hong and his Flying Boat securely, forming an impenetrable defensive barrier.

Boom!

The black Spiritual Power arrow slammed into the golden bell with a deafening roar, shaking the heavens and the earth.

A violent surge of Spiritual Qi spread out from the point of impact like ripples, resonating in all directions.

Under this fierce impact, the golden bell shook violently, its light flickering uncertainly, but ultimately, it blocked the Spiritual Power arrow outside.

"Who dares to ambush me here!" Yang Hong roared angrily, his voice filled with endless killing intent.

He stared fiercely at the barren mountain below, his eyes ablaze with fury.

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, a figure in a black robe leapt from the barren mountain, emanating the aura of a Fake Pill, "Yang Hong, today is the day you die!"

Before the words were finished, the black-robed figure quickly formed a Seal Formation with his hands, chanting incantations under his breath.

Instantly, several black Spiritual Power arrows coalesced into formation like raindrops shooting toward Yang Hong, each arrow containing world-destroying power.

Yang Hong did not dare to be careless, controlling the golden bell to continue the defense.

Simultaneously, he changed the Spell in his hand, Spiritual rays gushing from his body, transforming into several spiritual snakes attacking the Fake Pill cultivator.

For a time, Spiritual Power raged in the sky as both sides clashed fiercely.

However, just as Yang Hong focused entirely on battling the Fake Pill cultivator, an indistinct black mist silently spread from the side.

Suddenly!

A purple Artifact short sword, radiating a cold and eerie light, shot from the black mist, carrying Golden Core Realm's world-destroying mighty aura, it slashed fiercely toward Yang Hong.

"Golden Core cultivator!"

Yang Hong showed fear, alarms rang in his mind as he attempted to dodge but it was too late.

Boom!

In a flash, the Artifact short sword pierced through the golden bell's defense with overwhelming momentum, eliciting a mournful cry from the bell as its light instantly dimmed.

And that short sword, with unabated might, pierced straight through Yang Hong's chest.

"Puh!"

Yang Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was flung backwards like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground, while the golden bell and Spiritual Boat, both uncontrolled, also fell to the ground.

In the next instant.

A dark shadow darted from the black mist like lightning, arriving beside Yang Hong instantly.

This person grabbed Yang Hong's head, Mana surged like a tide, sealing Yang Hong's Mana and Sea of Consciousness in the blink of an eye, leaving him completely powerless to resist.
