Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: The Spirit Stone Veins Beneath the Peak

In the underground treasure vault of the Taixuan Sect, cultivation resources were abundant and endless. Wu De and the others checked this and touched that, almost overwhelmed by the choices.

In the end, besides selecting tens of thousands of Royal Grade spirit stones, each of them picked some Royal Grade spiritual medicine.

Their choices were not necessarily the most valuable, but they were certainly the best auxiliary effects for their own cultivation.

Looking at their space rings filled to the brim, smiles of joy and satisfaction appeared on their faces.

Especially the Tiger Clan, who had exhausted their elite forces to assist Fang Bai, paid a considerable price, and acquiring these cultivation resources compensated for some losses.

And yet, the remaining cultivation resources were still plentiful, none of which were below King Grade.

“I’ll hold onto these,” Fang Bai said.

Currently, Fang Bai needed a massive amount of cultivation resources and was no longer polite. With a wave of his left hand, the Five Elements Space Ring glowed faintly, and all remaining cultivation resources in the underground treasure vault were absorbed into it.

Although plentiful, the cultivation resources from the underground treasure vault only occupied a small corner inside Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring.

Watching the suddenly empty underground treasure vault, Wu De and the others were all left wide-eyed and speechless.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of space ring could harbor such a vast amount of cultivation resources.

Fang Bai neither flaunted nor explained the origin of his Five Elements Space Ring. Seeing everyone staring at him in shock, he smiled and said, “Let’s go, and take a look at the scale of the spirit stone veins beneath Taixuan Peak!”

Upon hearing the words “spirit stone veins”, Wu De became anxious, caught up with Fang Bai, and whispered to him, “Fang Bai, why did you mention this? Wouldn’t it be better for just the two of us to secretly exploit it for cultivation?”

Fang Bai glanced at Wu De and chuckled as he whispered back, “Firstly, the Tiger Clan has helped me, so involving them in mining the spirit stone veins is my way of repaying them; Secondly, the Royal Grade spirit stones in the veins only account for a tiny fraction, with the majority being King Grade… rest assured, we will certainly discover more superior spirit stone veins in the future!”

Wu De opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but finally just sighed without uttering another word.

“What? There are spirit stone veins beneath Taixuan Peak?”

“Is it true?”

“No wonder the spiritual energy here is much denser than in other areas, it’s because of the spirit stone veins!”

“Why has the Taixuan Sect never mined it? Could it be that they never discovered this secret?”

“If so, those disciples who fled the Taixuan Sect would be furious if they found out!”

…

The Tiger Clan’s high-ranking members followed Fang Bai with excitement, pouring out from the entrance.

“Wu De, you lead the way!”

Along the stone steps, the group reached the halfway point of Taixuan Peak. Fang Bai, with a smile, instructed Wu De.

Fang Bai knew that Wu De must have already dug a tunnel straight to the spirit stone veins inside Taixuan Peak, so letting him lead the way would save himself some trouble.

Wu De pursed his lips and mumbled something unintelligible. After dawdling for a while, he finally led Fang Bai and the others to a patch of lush weeds.

“The entrance is here.”

Wu De pointed to the clump of weeds.

Fang Bai gave Wind Roc, who was in human form, a knowing look. Understanding the gesture, Wind Roc pushed aside the weeds in front of him and cleared a pile of rubble, unveiling a tunnel just large enough for one person to pass through.

Once the tunnel was revealed, thick spiritual energy started pouring out, indicating that there truly was a large accumulation of spirit stones deep inside.

“Master, let me lead the way!”

With joy on his face, Wind Roc took a deep breath and was the first to enter the tunnel.

“I’m going in too!”

Afraid of being left behind, Wu De followed as the second person to enter.

“Qian Jiao, stay behind me, let’s go in too!”

Turning back, Fang Bai called out to Linghu Qianjiao, and the two followed Wind Roc and Wu De into the tunnel.

The Tiger Clan’s top echelons were close behind.

The tunnel wasn’t very deep, only around two or three hundred meters, and the further they went, the denser the spiritual energy became.

At the tunnel’s end was a small space that could only accommodate over twenty people. All around, spirit stones were densely stacked, countless and dazzling.

“Dear me… how many spirit stones could there be!”

Authorized to follow inside, the brothers Hu Wei and Hu Zhuang doubted their own eyes, rubbing them vigorously and touching the stones to confirm the spirit stones before them were real.

“According to my estimation, this spirit stone vein extends from Taixuan Peak downwards, several miles deep underground, with a reserve of tens of millions. Most are King Grade spirit stones, and Royal Grade spirit stones should make up about a tenth.”

Having been inside before, Wu De didn’t show astonishment like the other Tiger Clan experts. Instead, he introduced it with a stern face, while feeling a pang of regret in his heart.

Originally, Wu De thought he was the only one who had discovered this spirit stone vein, planning to enjoy it slowly in the future, without worrying about cultivation resources for years. Yet, unexpectedly, Fang Bai also discovered the veins and publicly shared them with the Tiger Clan.

Thus, in terms of allocation, how could the Tiger Clan receive less of this spirit stone vein?

The Tiger Clan had many members, and if they participated in the distribution of the spirit stone vein, naturally, they couldn’t receive too little; otherwise, it would tarnish Fang Bai’s reputation.

Wu De glanced sideways, seeing the high-ranking members of the Tiger Clan with eyes shimmering, feeling a sense of painful regret, and secretly vowed to stick with Fang Bai in the future, hoping he would find another spirit stone vein to make up for his loss.

“Tens of millions of spirit stones… with a tenth being Royal Grade…”

The words of Wu De echoed in the minds of the Tiger Clan’s experts led by Hu Xiao, unable to suppress their excitement.

In normal circumstances, if this spirit stone vein could be distributed to them by a third, they could cultivate many experts, possibly seeing more Soul Severing Experts emerge within the Tiger Clan in the future.

Furthermore, the Supreme Elder Hu Xiao could potentially advance once more, entering the Thunder Tribulation Realm. At that time, even if the Taixuan Sect disciples who fled returned for revenge, what would the Tiger Clan have to fear?

“Brother Hu, how about moving your Tiger Clan’s territory here?”

Fang Bai suddenly suggested to Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao was taken aback, but soon understood Fang Bai’s intent. After considering for a moment, he exchanged glances with Sect Master Hu Chong, and both Tiger Clan experts showed joy in their eyes.

This area around Taixuan Peak had dense nature’s spiritual energy, highly suitable for cultivation. Although the medicinal garden planted by the Taixuan Sect disciples was nearly burned down, the existence of a spirit stone vein with tens of millions in reserves was enough to make up for all losses.

Moreover, the vicinity of Taixuan Peak was near the primeval forest, where the Tiger Clan, if overwhelmed by powerful attackers, could retreat into for defense.

After a brief discussion with the upper echelons of the Tiger Clan, they unanimously agreed to Fang Bai’s suggestion and decided to relocate the Tiger Clan’s territory to the Taixuan Sect.
