Shen Mo released three mid-level fifth-level demon soul generals including Fairy Peiyu, Hong Jue Sanren, and Yang Chengxiong. After entering the soul-splitting curse seal, he ordered them to stay at the original site of Fulong Xianzong to protect the soldiers who were building the mountain protection formation. All members of the Chiyan Sect!
And he himself appeared in the mountains southeast of Yuquan Mountain, a million miles away.
There are countless mineral deposits buried inside Yuquan Mountain, but no matter how majestic the mountain is, it cannot withstand the continuous mining and excavation by hundreds of millions of monks for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!
Therefore, Fairy Yuquan issued a decree in the early years, strictly prohibiting mountain monks and other forces from mining mineral resources in Yuquan Mountain, so as not to dig holes into the mountain and destroy the terrain, ground veins, spiritual veins, etc., thereby affecting the immortal family's blessed land. Pattern... Clearing wasteland on the surface of the mountain, establishing mountain gates, constructing large arrays, building spiritual fields and medicinal gardens, etc. are not within the scope of this order.
For immortal cultivators, underground mineral deposits are indispensable resources for cultivation, including raw spiritual stones, jades for various purposes, iron essence fairy gold, etc.
Not to mention, mining of mineral deposits is one of the most important sources of income; without these, daily practice will be greatly affected, and it won’t be long before you have to live a life like the monsters in the mountains, drinking blood from hair and using bones as weapons!
Therefore, any cultivating force with some family background will choose to enclose a territory outside Yuquan Mountain, expel and kill the demons and monsters on the surface and underground, build formation barriers, and then send disciples, servants and the like to mine underground minerals. You can also collect various spiritual herbs, exotic fruits, fairy trees and other resources along the way.
There are also some immortal sects, cultivating families, and scattered cultivators who do not have the strength to develop and protect the resource production areas outside the mountains, so they will choose to rely on one of the big forces. After meeting conditions such as handing over part of the proceeds, they will go to them. Carry out mining, collection and other activities on your territory!
Just like the Fulong Immortal Sect, when the money was at its peak thousands of years ago, it also ran horses and enclosures outside Yuquan Mountain and owned a large business.
However, with the fall of Lord Fulong and the increasing decline of the sect... most of these territories and properties have been sold off or taken away by other forces through various overt and covert means.
In recent years, Fulong Sect monks have only two main sources of income. One is the spiritual field medicine garden planted in the mountain gate, and the other is paid a huge price.
Go to the resource producing areas of big forces to dig for mineral deposits and collect spiritual plant resources! It is difficult for the entire sect's income to support Bian Zhenren's cultivation, not to mention that the cultivation of disciples within the sect also consumes a lot of resources.
In this way, Fulongxian Sect is selling the hinterland of Shanmen! ...The site that Shen Mo is interested in is between two fairy mountains. Although it is slightly raised like hills, the overall terrain is relatively gentle.
Like Wulong Mountain, this place is also a remote and desolate place. It is even far away from the two fairy mountains where big monsters live. It is covered with dense forests and is inaccessible. However, there are many fourth-level monsters scattered everywhere, and some are alone. , some have gathered a group of monsters and monsters to dominate here, and there are also some casual cultivators with no origins practicing in this mountain!
After arriving here, it didn't take long for the fourth-level demons within a radius of ten thousand miles to be swallowed clean by Shen Mo's demon souls. Two of them, who had never eaten anyone and whose auras were relatively pure, were swallowed up by Chen Mo. Shen Mo was kidnapped and became the protector of the sect.
The remaining low-level demons were not killed and were left for the disciples to experience. As for the casual cultivators in the mountains, most of them were in the eyes of Shen Mo, so he did not drive them all away.
Only thousands of deeply hidden evil cultivators had nowhere to hide under his extremely powerful and sharp five senses. He picked them out one by one and fed them to the Demon Soul General as blood food!
After some cleaning, he also found out that this place was called Blood Snake Ridge. This is probably because this mountain range is inhabited by a small blood-red snake. Whether in dense forests, streams, rivers or underground, traces of this small blood-red snake can be seen everywhere.
But this kind of little snake is not even a first-order monster. A stronger mortal can kill it with a wooden stick and extract their blood and flesh.
Bones, skin, scales, teeth, poison glands, and organs are of little use. They are basically food sources for other monsters and monsters. They rely on their terrifying reproductive abilities to
"Occupy" this mountain range. After Shen Mo used [Clear Observation of All Living Beings] to see it, he quickly lost interest in this little snake. If it feeds on it, a third-level early stage demon soul will eat it day and night for several years, and it is estimated that it will not be able to advance to the fourth level. Not worth the trouble.
Then, he selected a place with open terrain and rich spiritual energy in Blood Snake Ridge, and released tens of thousands of Red Flame Sect disciples.
Although Blood Snake Ridge is extremely far away from the two fairy mountains, there is no guarantee that a fifth-level monster will come here from the mountains or elsewhere. Therefore, a Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation must be built to provide protection for the Scarlet Flame Sect monks who go out to collect resources.
In addition to the mountain protection formation, Shen Mo also sent his disciples to build a high-level teleportation formation that would directly connect to the hinterland of the mountain gate on Yuquan Mountain.
And with this formation as the center of the circle, low-level formations were gradually built within a radius of thousands of miles in Blood Snake Ridge, weaving a large network of teleportation formations extending in all directions!
Teleportation arrays of different levels are completely different in terms of the array materials they consume, the consumption of spiritual stones when activating them, the transmission routes, etc... The ones built in the hinterland of the sect and the Blood Snake Ridge formation are naturally High-level teleportation array, otherwise it would be difficult to cross millions of miles.
As for the teleportation altars built around the Blood Snake Ridge Mountain Protection Formation, it is not necessary to have such a powerful effect. They only need to be able to teleport thousands of miles or tens of thousands of miles to facilitate the exchange of disciples; after all, they are doing mining tasks. Most of them are body-forging realm disciples, and there may even be a large number of mortal handymen without spiritual power. They can be teleported back to the Blood Snake Ridge stronghold in time when encountering danger!
To return to Yuquan Mountain, you can teleport through the high-level teleportation array in the stronghold. In this way, it can not only meet various needs, but also save a lot of formation materials and spiritual stones needed to activate the formation!
Three months later, the construction of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation and the high-level teleportation array at the Red Flame Sect Gate and the Blood Snake Ridge stronghold at the foot of Yuquan Mountain was completed. Low-level teleportation arrays and supporting garrison fortresses were set up.
After doing this, Shen Mo activated the mountain-protecting formation outside the mountain gate, using its shielding power to prevent outsiders from prying at him.
Then, he completely unfolded the Cave Heaven Paradise and settled it within the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation! From this day on, hundreds of millions of beings in Qingyun Cave and millions of disciples of the Red Flame Sect have officially taken root in Yuquan Mountain... What Shen Mo will do after that is to practice in seclusion and use the [Remnant] [Body Rebirth] The Taoist practices that have been cut off can be re-cultivated, and ordinary sect affairs can be left to the senior officials to handle.
