Ancestor Above - Chapter 63

63 Chapter 63 spirit well vein

After he was done talking about the yin-essence water Jade and the initial enlightenment breakthrough, Lu Qing told the three of them about the results of his previous exploration of the water Ghost Lake.

Of course, it would not be very detailed. There was no need to say too much about things that the family could not develop now.

He only said that there was an underground spirit stream there. He could use this opportunity to open up a new spirit vein for the family.

!!
Of course, the three siblings would not have any objections.

They could also feel that after xueting built her Foundation, the spiritual energy that they had initially had was now stretched thin.

The four foundation building cultivators were still fine. Their ability to snatch spiritual energy during cultivation was stronger, so they could basically maintain their cultivation.

However, the current Yuyan mountain could only support the four of them. The rest of the Qi refining stage clansmen had already felt that their spiritual energy was insufficient after the foundation establishment in the snow courtyard. Some of them had no choice but to start extracting the spiritual energy from the spirit stones.

The clan was aware of this situation, so the corresponding clansmen all gave subsidies.

However, this matter couldn’t last for long. Otherwise, if a Qi refining cultivator were to be given ten spirit stones a year, that would be five hundred a year. The family’s finances wouldn’t be able to bear it.

In this situation, they had originally planned to concentrate their forces on conquering the water Ghost Lake first, then move some of their clansmen to Pingyao County. Pingyao County had a level-two man-made spirit vein that could be used, albeit barely. After that, they would need to find a level-one Spirit vein near Yuyan mountain and move some of the clansmen away.

However, this was definitely a last resort. Foundation building cultivators could not leave. Moving only Qi refining cultivators would cause the sub-base to be too weak and lack pillar figures to keep watch. Furthermore, there were too few people on Yuyan mountain.

In the future, Lu Qing would definitely hope that Yuyan mountain would be able to regain its level-three spirit vein. However, it seemed like this was not something that could be done in the short term.

The second best option was to build a level-Two Spirit Meridian here and move a Foundation establishment cultivator and a dozen Qi refining cultivators over.

……

After that, the Lu family mobilized their forces and began to implement the sub-base plan.

He would first dig a large spirit well and connect it to the underground spirit stream. Then, relying on this spirit well, the clan began to channel the water from the underground spirit stream, forming a small river at the edge of the lake. In addition, they also built some buildings.

In just two years, a spirit vein had formed here. The Lu clan had named it the ‘spirit well vein’.

The reason why it was able to take shape so quickly was mainly due to the contribution of the underground spirit stream.

However, the spirit well vein wasn’t the spirit stream itself. After the spirit Water gushed to the surface and formed a small river, the spirit Qi was consumed. This spirit well vein could only be considered a grade two Spirit vein.

In the future, when the clan became stronger and needed it, they could continue to develop it and bring in more Spirit Water. They could even develop an underground space. By then, they would be able to own a level three spirit vein.

However, the spirit well vein itself also had some problems.

The spiritual Qi from the spiritual water that gushed out of the ground had strong water and Yin attributes. It was not suitable for other cultivators to cultivate here. Only water element cultivators could make the best use of this place.

As such, the foundation building cultivators that the clan had stationed at the spirit well vein were decided to be Lu mingchao. The Qi refining cultivators that had moved over were mainly water spiritual roots.

For this, the family had even built an alchemy room beside the spirit well vein. They also planned to build the second level two cavern abode here. All of this was for Lu mingchao.

As for the two-star Cave abode on Yuyan mountain, Lu chaoxi had moved in. He hoped that he could speed up his accumulation and make preparations to break through to the initial enlightenment stage.

Lu Chaohe had even carefully carved a protective formation on the spirit well vein.

This level-Two Spirit Meridian formation needed someone to control it, and it needed the spirit Meridian to provide power. Its defensive ability was also very strong. Once activated, even if there was only one foundation building cultivator, they could use the power of the water spiritual vein to resist the siege of five times the number of cultivators of the same level.

The spirit well vein was not too far away from Yuyan mountain. If something were to happen, Yuyan mountain would be able to send reinforcements easily.

The Lu family’s sub-base was built just like that.

……

In the past two years, the Lu family had done more than that.

The level two Sutras Depository had already been built. Lu chaoxi was in charge of guarding it. Staying in the two-star Scripture Depository for five years could improve one’s comprehension ability. It was quite important.

As for the effects of the ‘cultivation technique evolution’ in the Scripture chamber, Lu Qing took a look and found that the chances were very low.

Lu Qing knew that his luck had never been good. He had never been able to win such a lucky draw, so he did not consider this matter.

However, on second thought, even if he was not, his son might not be!

In the end, it all depended on one’s luck!

The construction of the level two Sutras Depository had earned him another achievement: [achievement: new building, level two achieved (Sutra library) ]. This achievement brought him 50 karma.

After the construction of the spirit well vein was completed, a [achievement: [new spirit Meridian, level two achieved (spirit well Meridian) ]. This achievement is worth 200 karma!

In addition, there were three more Qi refining cultivators in the clan over the past two years, which gave Lu Qing 15 karma.

In addition to his previous balance and the 425 karma he had gained from the conquest of the water Ghost Lake, Lu Qing once again had more than 1000 karma.

As the clan gradually became stronger, it became easier to obtain karma.

Other than the increase in karma, Lu Qing had more ways to use his karma. In the exchange Mall, he still had 15 available options.

He had to plan how he was going to spend this wave of karma.

He first spent a small sum of money to get four one-star exchange options.

One was [ family planning, one-star ], and the effect was still five years; The two [ spiritual root enhancement, one-star ] options could only raise a Clansman’s spiritual root to three at most, and could only be used on children under the age of six. They were not particularly valuable, so he had also picked two children who were pleasing to the eye and enhanced their four spiritual roots.

The other reason was that Lu Qing had exchanged for the [ one-star healing ] skill after the battle of the water ghosts. It had quickly resolved the problem of Lu mingchao’s injuries.

Although her injuries were not particularly serious, she would need at least one or two months to recuperate, which was quite a waste of cultivation time.

Since he had the money now, he only spent 50 karma on the four one-star exchange options. It was not expensive at all.

The family’s debt problem was also relatively easy to solve.

Lu chaoxi had prepared nine yang lightning talismans when he was dealing with the water ghosts. However, when they really started fighting, they realized that they were too well prepared. Other than the female ghost at the end, they didn’t encounter any major difficulties, and the Yang lightning talisman was of no use against the female ghost.

As a result, it was quite embarrassing that none of the nine yang lightning talismans had been used in the battle.

However, this kind of powerful Grade 2 talisman would not have to worry about not having a market.

The family had already digested three of them.

It was definitely a discount for the clan members. Usually, a few Qi refining cultivators would join hands to eat one for other uses.

This time, the clan’s Treasury had been exchanged for thousands of spirit stones, which basically paid off the money they had borrowed from the Han family of Luyi with interest.

But on the whole, the family was still poor.

Large amounts of spirit stones were needed for any major construction or training of new foundation building cultivators.

An ordinary clan would have to rely on years of accumulation to save up ten or twenty thousand spirit stones in a few decades. Then, they would think of a way to get a foundation building pill for their clan members.

The Lu clan could do the same, but Lu Qing could not stand it.

One can not be rich without a windfall, and it was the same for a family.

He had to think of a way to earn more income.
