Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 749 748: Spirit Vein

Upon learning that Lu Yang and his companions were disciples of the Five Elements Sect, not only did the trio from Fangshan Island extend olive branches, but numerous other powers also made overtures, hoping for a visit to their territories and even hinting at the possibility of arranging marriage alliances with their daughters.

In comparison, Lu Yang and his companions felt that the trio from Fangshan Island were more reliable.

When they arrived at Fangshan Island, Lu Yang realized that the so-called Fangshan Island was not a single island, but rather a term for a group of islands, similar to myriad twinkling stars surrounding the main island.

According to the trio, the main island of Fangshan Island possessed a third-grade superior Spirit Vein, which incited envy among the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. Rumors had it that beneath the Spirit Vein lay hidden a heavenly treasure of earth, though of course, this remained merely a legend, unseen by anyone.

Spirit Veins were also a specialty of the East Sea, which Lu Yang had heard of. A first-grade Spirit Vein allowed Qi Cultivation Stage practitioners to cultivate, a second-grade allowed Foundation Establishment Stage practitioners to cultivate, and so on.

Within the same grade, Spirit Veins could be further divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.

A third-grade upper rank was the best Spirit Vein a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could obtain.

The trio were the masters of Fangshan Island. Aligned with them were several families, Loose Cultivators, and countless ordinary humans. All in all, their numbers totaled over a million people. The ordinary humans worked from sunrise to sunset, mainly to provide seedlings for cultivation.

Qi Refinement level cultivators had different roles, such as serving as spiritual farmers, planting spirit grains, and so forth.

Fangshan Island was like a small kingdom, which left Lu Yang and his companions utterly astonished.

"Master." The maids were already waiting on Fangshan Island for the trio's return early on.

The maids were meticulously selected and trained by the families of Fangshan Island and were of decent appearance.

Yan Daixia was the leader among the trio, and he invited the group to the main hall and asked the maids to serve tea.

"Wait a moment," Lu Yang stopped the maid, causing Yan Daixia to grow tense, fearing he had somehow offended Lu Yang.

Lu Yang covered his Identity Jade, which bore the insignia of the Seek Dao Sect, not allowing Yan Daixia to see it.

"Brew this, please. We are more accustomed to drinking this," Lu Yang said with a smile, handing the maid a packet of tea.

Yan Daixia's pupils contracted upon smelling the aroma of the tea, "Is this..."

"Enlightenment Tea?"

"It really is Enlightenment Tea?!"

"Why, has Brother Yan tasted it before?"

Yan Daixia was far from qualified to have tasted such tea. He had been fortunate enough to attend a few banquets organized by Body Integration Realm figures, during which one of the Integration Stage Experts mysteriously presented a treasure, which was the Enlightenment Tea.

The other Integration Stage experts wanted some, but he refused to give it to them. Only after much persuasion did he brew a pot for them to share.

The packet that Lu Yang took out could not only brew a pot, but a whole basin would still be too much.

Lu Yang was not short on Enlightenment Tea. Not to mention the distant sources, there was even an Enlightenment Tea Tree King in the medicinal garden, from which the Eldest Senior Sister got her tea. Given Lu Yang's relationship with the Little Medicinal Kings, obtaining a few packets of Enlightenment Tea was effortless.

And this was without taking into account Fairy Eternity's innate restraining effect on spiritual plants.

Once the Enlightenment Tea was ready, the trio drank it with the same care as if they were consuming an immortal elixir, very cautiously lifting their teacups to drink.

The fragrance was even richer than that of the Enlightenment Tea from the banquets!

Brother Yan's gaze toward Lu Yang and his companions now carried a trace of reverence.

"Brother Yan, would you be willing to introduce us to the powers of the East Sea?" Lu Yang wanted to match them to the markings on the map.

One ought to reciprocate a favor; Yan Daixia spared no details, "The East Sea can be divided into two major powers: the Sea Clan and the Human race.

The Sea Clan consists of ten supremely powerful races, including the Long Clan, Kunpeng Clan, Kui Clan… Each of these races has Transcendance Tribulation great demons ruling them, especially the Long Clan, whose depths are unfathomable, with unknown numbers of Transcendance Tribulation figures; it is said that the Old Dragon Emperor has already lived for nine thousand years."

"Below the ten great races, there are others like the Dragon-horse Clan, Mirage Clan, Ao Clan, Fishman tribe, Yaksha Clan, Dragon-man Clan, etc. All of these Sea Clan races have Body Integration Realm great demon kings in command."

"The races further down the line are too numerous to count, such as the Sea Spider Clan and the Spirit Fish Clan. These races have Divinity Transformation Stage experts sitting in power, but whether they have any at the Void Refinement Stage is unknown."

Cultivators in the East Sea who reach the Void Refinement Stage tend to keep a low profile, hiding the news of their breakthrough to prevent their enemies from learning of their newfound strength and seeking them out.

"Compared to the Sea Clan, the human race here is relatively weak. To protect themselves, they formed the East Sea Cultivator Alliance. The ones who advocated for this alliance were Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, the three immortal islands, which also wield the most influence within the alliance.

Each has Transcendance Tribulation Stage ancestors in power, taking on the roles of Alliance Hierarch and Deputy Hierarch."

"The powers within the alliance with cultivators at the Body Integration Realm include..."

"The threshold to join the alliance is at the Foundation Establishment Stage; these people are ordinary members within the alliance. By reaching the Golden Core Stage, they're considered senior members."

"We three brothers are managers in the alliance, and above us, there are Hall Masters, Elders, and so on."

After the introduction, Lu Yang gained a basic understanding of the East Sea powers: Your East Sea's levels of hierarchy are truly numerous, and after all that division, even the Alliance Hierarch wouldn't match up to a Four Imperial Protectors in our Heavenly Court Sect.

During the chat, Yi Daxia seized the opportunity to ask questions about cultivation.

Actually, they were somewhat embarrassed. Originally, they wanted to offer some treasures in exchange for cultivation experiences, but once Lu Yang brought out the Enlightenment Tea, none of their treasures seemed of any use.

This one pack of tea leaves could buy several Fangshan Islands.

They could only ask shamelessly.

Although the Nascent Souls cultivated by Lu Yang and his group were peculiar, they were still quite clear about the traditional ways of cultivation. The cultivation problems that had troubled the three heroes for decades were easily addressed by Lu Yang, who could point out solutions with just a few words, solving the issues effortlessly and earning the heroes' utmost admiration.

The only challenging question was one posed by Yi Daxia, "How should one utilize the Nascent Soul in battle?"

Lu Yang pondered; he was still being beaten by the Invincible Nascent Soul, Meng Jingzhou's dual Nascent Souls were unprecedented, Man Gu's ancestral spirit Nascent Soul was obviously not a reference, and Li Haoran's dismembered Nascent Soul wasn't much better.

After going in circles, only Tao Yaoye's Nascent Soul was reliable.

"Right, we have long resided in the Central Continent and have never seen a Spirit Vein. I wonder if Yi Daxia could satisfy our curiosity?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Among the five, only Li Haoran had seen the appearance of a Spirit Vein, relying on memories from his past life.

"That's easy," Yi Daxia said with a smile.

Generally speaking, a Spirit Vein is the lifeblood of an island, a sacred ground that cannot be shown to outsiders.

But since Lu Yang brought out the Enlightenment Tea, he couldn't be considered an outsider anymore.

"This way, please."

The three heroes personally led the way, inviting the five into a cave. With a lamp in hand, they illuminated the path ahead.

The cave was winding, and the deeper they went, the more they felt the change in Spiritual Energy's density. After about ten minutes of walking, the cave gradually brightened, even more radiant than the heroes' lanterns.

"We've arrived."

The three heroes extinguished the lantern and gestured for the others to proceed.

Ahead was a pool of deep blue spring water, protected by an Array Method. The spring radiated sparkling Spiritual Energy, which flowed through underground channels towards various parts of Fangshan Island. The water's tributaries formed Second and Third Grade Spirit Veins.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, the Spirit Vein boiled, and the abundant Spiritual Energy broke through the large array, causing emerald green ripples to spread across the sky.

Yi Daxia's expression changed, "This is a sign from heaven and earth; a heavenly treasure is about to emerge!"

Lu Yang quickly raised his hand, asserting his innocence, "This has nothing to do with me."
