"It seems this young fellow is not only a Second-stage Earth Master but also possesses significant expertise in arrays!" Song Li thought privately.

In the entire Yue Country, Second-stage Earth Masters are extremely rare, and if one also possesses profound array expertise, then they are as rare as a phoenix's feather.

'This young fellow might not be an ordinary Loose Cultivator in Foundation Establishment!'

Thinking of this, a trace of vigilance and unease involuntarily rose in Song Li's heart.

However, when his hand inadvertently touched the advanced Spirit Beast pouch at his waist, his heart suddenly calmed a lot.

No matter how many tricks this boy has in front of him, in the face of absolute power, they are nothing but ants!

"Of course, matters of expertise should be handled by professionals, let's proceed as Fellow Daoist Li suggested." Song Li, having regained his composure, decisively made the decision.

With Song Li speaking, Pang Po and his group naturally dared not raise any objections.

"We will completely follow Fellow Daoist Li's commands!" Pang Po immediately clasped his hands and said.

"Fellow Daoist Pang speaks too highly, it's not commanding at all, I just have one thing indeed that requires the aid of your fellow Daoists." Xu Ping said with a smile and a polite wave.

"Please speak, fellow Daoist." Pang Po said earnestly.

"To be honest, I don't have the Earth Vein Flag with me, and if I start refining it now, it will take too long and might miss the opportunity to capture the Second-stage Spirit Worm, which is quite urgent."

"So I was wondering if you fellow Daoists could help me collect some Earth Vein Flags." Xu Ping clasped his hands and said.

The Earth Vein Flag, refined from the Mystical Rock Soil containing earth's power, is not very precious.

But he needs a large quantity, and if he collects them alone, it surely requires considerable effort.

However, with the numerous and widespread connections of the Hundred Beasts Sect, their efficiency in collecting is undoubtedly much higher.

Upon hearing Xu Ping's request, Pang Po, without hesitation, immediately patted his chest and promised earnestly:

"This is just a small matter, fellow Daoist rest assured, I will immediately instruct my disciples to collect them wholeheartedly.

With the capabilities of our Hundred Beasts Sect, I believe we can collect enough Earth Vein Flags in just a few days."

"Then many thanks to Fellow Daoist Pang." Xu Ping outwardly expressed thanks with a smile, but inwardly felt a chill.

Pang Po's easy promises, not even mentioning Spirit Stone rewards, increasingly convinced Xu Ping that the Hundred Beasts Sect must harbor ulterior motives, seeking to take all benefits.

...

The task of finding Earth Vein Flags was soon properly arranged by Pang Po.

Soon after, everyone settled patiently on Spirit Void Peak to wait.

During this wait, Pang Po always tried to subtly extract information from Xu Ping, probing his situation.

Xu Ping, aware of their intentions as if looking into a clear mirror, knew it very well, often secretly scoffing.

Facing Pang Po's probing, Xu Ping casually responded with a few words, merely claiming he was just an ordinary loose cultivator.

"It seems this person's vigilance is quite high, but he indeed seems like a loose cultivator." Pang Po thought to himself.

...

Time flew by, and ten days passed quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Li, the Earth Vein Flags you requested are all in this storage bag."

Pang Po, smiling broadly, handed a gray-looking storage bag to Xu Ping.

Xu Ping reached out to take the storage bag, a trace of Divine Sense instantly probing into it.

He saw hundreds of earth-yellow Earth Vein Flags neatly placed inside the storage bag.

"Thanks for your concern, Fellow Daoist Pang." Xu Ping smiled and clasped his hands in gratitude.

Undoubtedly, the numerous members of the Hundred Beasts Sect make processing this kind of trivial matter impressively efficient.

"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Pang Po generously waved his hand, then impatiently urged, "The Earth Vein Flags have been collected in full, so can Fellow Daoist Li begin the setup?"

"Certainly no problem, fellow Daoists just follow me shortly."

Xu Ping smiled calmly, then took out a handful of Earth Vein Flags and walked with steady, powerful steps toward the depths of the forest.

After exchanging a look among each other, Pang Po and Song Li followed closely behind Xu Ping without any hesitation.

Xu Ping activated the Earth Master's Gaze, and suddenly, his eyes gleamed brightly.

With steady steps, he carefully searched for Spirit Vein nodes in every corner of Spirit Void Peak.

The Earth Master's Gaze was running at full strength, not missing any subtle traces or clues.

Whenever he discovered a Spirit Vein node, Xu Ping would carefully insert the Earth Vein Flag into it.

Following closely behind Xu Ping, Pang Po and the others felt much more assured seeing his skilled and fluid motions.

Song Li, on the other hand, kept observing Xu Ping's every move silently, his eyes filled with scrutiny and vigilance.

As a Second-stage Upper Grade Array Master, he knew well the great difficulty of setting up arrays based on earth energy, which made him increasingly curious about Xu Ping's true abilities.

With each Earth Vein Flag precisely inserted into the Spirit Vein nodes, the earth energy around Spirit Void Peak began to undergo subtle and peculiar changes.

The originally smooth and orderly flowing earth energy now became chaotic and disordered, faintly showing signs of breaking through the ground's constraints.

Spirit Void Peak is vast, with numerous Spirit Vein nodes, each far apart, coupled with Xu Ping's need for meticulous exploration, allowing no negligence.

Thus, even with the assistance of Pang Po and others, Xu Ping spent a full five days before finally placing Earth Vein Flags on all the Spirit Vein nodes of Spirit Void Peak.
