Chapter 57: Discovering the Secret Base_2
Although I still don't know what benefits this giant egg could bring to me,
it's obviously a treasure worth cherishing.
It's just a pity that the giant egg has already been occupied by the soul of a robust man.
Fang Yun doesn't know if the robust man can succeed in body seizing.
But if he wants to keep this giant egg, there indeed are certain risks involved.
But to simply smash it, although it indeed ensures the thorough death of that robust man,
it would be too wasteful for such a treasure.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Yun thought about the refinery effect his Life Essence Qi has on living beings.
Most notably, its effect on the Spiritual Insect.
Initially, after the Spiritual Insect was healed by his Life Essence Qi, it clearly began to feel affectionate towards him,
as if it had acknowledged him as its master.
If his Life Essence Qi indeed has such a function, perhaps using it to refine the giant egg is a good choice.
Of course, if it really doesn't work out, the only option would be to smash it.
Thinking this, Fang Yun directly infused the giant egg with his Life Essence Qi.
As the green mist continuously enveloped the entire giant egg,
a massive amount of Life Essence Qi started to be infused into the giant egg.
In a trance, Fang Yun's spirit directly entered inside the giant egg.
"No, little brother, spare me!
I've hardly found this opportunity, please let me go!
As long as I live, I can become a new Jiao Dragon, and then I'm willing to be at your beck and call!"
Fang Yun watched the soul inside the giant egg being eroded by the Life Essence Qi,
his expression unchanged.
Coming here was originally to kill this robust man, and since the Life Essence Qi can kill, he naturally wouldn't pity him.
As the robust man pleaded repeatedly, the Life Essence Qi began to permeate the entire giant egg.
The soul of the robust man also dissolved within the green Life Essence Qi.
However, as the soul of the robust man dissipated, Fang Yun discovered that there were no new life imprints inside the giant egg.
It seemed as if the giant egg was originally a dead egg.
Could it be because the original soul of the giant egg had already been killed by the robust man?
Fang Yun could not guess the exact reason, but clearly, the giant egg now had no value for cultivation.
What should he do next?
Feeling the rich Water Attribute and Gold Attribute powers within the giant egg,
Fang Yun took out the Spiritual Insect from his chest and thought.
Then, he infused more Life Essence Qi into the giant egg, permeating every corner that had not yet been soaked.
Following that thought, the Life Essence Qi in the giant egg began to transform into the Five Elements power.
As the Life Essence Qi transformed, the rich Water Attribute and Gold Attribute powers within it also underwent transformation.
Afterward, Fang Yun completely converted all the Five Elements power into the Gold Attribute power.
The whole process took several days, and finally, he transformed all the power within the giant egg into Gold Attribute power.
He made a small opening in the giant egg and then stuffed the Spiritual Insect inside.
With a thought, the rich Gold Attribute power enveloped the Spiritual Insect.
The Spiritual Insect, not yet awakened from its last transformation, once again entered into a new transformation.
As for whether this transformation would be successful, Fang Yun was uncertain.
But he was operating on the principle of recycling waste.
If the Spiritual Insect didn't successfully transform this time, it would likely be abandoned by Fang Yun.
After all, he couldn't keep carrying a Spiritual Insect that he couldn't use.
It would be too wasteful of his energy.
As he sealed the opening with Gold Attribute power, he let the Spiritual Insect slowly undergo its transformation.
After completing all this, Fang Yun finally had time to carefully inspect the cave.
If the robust man placed the giant egg here, there clearly should be something unique about this cave.
At the least, this cave shouldn't be as ordinary as this island.
Having nothing else to do, why not explore the secrets?
Being still a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator, he didn't have Divine Sense to help him examine the surrounding environment.
However, Fang Yun had his own way of investigation.
The roots of the Five Elements Plants hidden in his body probed out and then extended in all directions.
Deeply burrowing into the soil.
As the roots delved deeper, a large amount of information about the soil converged in Fang Yun's mind.
After a while, Fang Yun's heart stirred as he seemed to have discovered something unusual below.
Thus, he retracted the roots that had reached out in all directions and concentrated his attention downward.
As the roots continued to penetrate deeper, Fang Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.
For he distinctly felt an intense Spiritual Energy from the soil below.
Spirit Vein?
Fang Yun couldn't help but speculate.
The roots of the Five Elements Plants went deeper, indeed they soon sensed hard stones which obviously had fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
As the roots penetrated the cracks in these stones, a more intense concentration of Spiritual Energy was transmitted to Fang Yun's mind through the Five Elements Plants.
After a while, Fang Yun finally took a long breath in relief.
Below indeed lay a Spirit Vein, and not just any Spirit Vein, but at least a Second Level Spiritual Vein.
If a Level 1 Spirit Vein corresponds to Qi Cultivation Cultivators, then a Second Level Spirit Vein matches Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The Spiritual Energy emitted from a Second Level Spirit Vein was enough for several dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators to cultivate.
From this, one could see that a Second Level Spirit Vein could establish a powerful force within the Wind Spirit Sea Domain.
Even if this force couldn't become a top-notch power in the Wind Spirit Sea Domain, it was not to be underestimated.
Fang Yun had not expected that on this island, devoid of any Spiritual Energy, there would be a Second Level Spirit Vein hidden underground.
What could be the reason that this Spirit Vein was not emitting any Spiritual Energy?
Was it due to the strong man's methods?
Or was it naturally formed?
Clearly, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the strong man should not possess such capabilities.
And the probability of it being naturally formed was also not large, given that the Spirit Vein was not far below the surface and there was no special structure in the soil above the Spirit Vein.
In such circumstances, the likelihood of natural formation sealing the Spiritual Energy underground was also not very high.
Fang Yun looked towards the giant egg that might be a Jiao Dragon Egg.
Could it be the work of that Jiao Dragon?
Thinking about how that Jiao Dragon still had such formidable combat power after laying its eggs, it likely was a Golden Core Stage demon beast.
For a Golden Core Stage demon beast, especially one with some lineage, possessing such means was not impossible.
Fortunately, that Jiao Dragon must have died by his own hands.
Otherwise, dealing with the egg it left behind would certainly have brought great trouble!
However, following the death of the Jiao Dragon and his damaging of the giant egg,
Fang Yun did not know how much longer the Spirit Vein in the depths could remain hidden.
Once this place was exposed, given his Qi Cultivation Stage, he definitely could not protect this location.
It could even be said that once any connection between him and this location was discovered, his fate would be sealed!
Thus, Fang Yun began to contemplate methods to conceal the Spirit Vein beneath the surface.
Unbelievably, he quickly thought of a way to hide the underground Spirit Vein.
Although he was uncertain of its success, there was still a significant possibility.
That was to use the special soil he previously utilized for growing Spirit Plants.
The two special types of soil he discovered initially, one could absorb Spiritual Energy, and the other could repel it.
If he covered the surface above the Spirit Vein directly with soil that repelled Spiritual Energy, it would certainly seal the Spiritual Energy within the Spirit Vein.
To prevent excessive pressure on this layer of soil, he could also create some cracks in the soil and let excess Spiritual Energy escape through the cracks, then use the absorbing soil to capture this Spiritual Energy.
With this double insurance, there was a high probability that it could seal these energies beneath the surface.
In addition to this method, Fang Yun could also grow Spirit Plants on this island.
Then continually extract the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein, directing it to a purpose rather than letting it dissipate into the air.
Naturally, this would minimize the risk of exposure.
Moreover, he could also gain another base for growing Spirit Plants.
He wouldn't have to look for a new planting base in the Central Sea anymore.
Thinking this, Fang Yun's eyes brightened.
Now, the only issue was finding enough of the right soil.
