Chapter 248: Red Flame Shanfeng

Three days later.

Xia Daoming set off to return to the Profound Origin Sect.

Accompanying him was Liu Qiaolian, who was not there when he left.

Xia Daoming is now a true disciple with considerable authority.

As soon as he returned to the mountain gate, he first took Liu Qiaolian to the Internal Affairs Hall to receive an identity token.

Although Liu Qiaolian is not a disciple of the Profound Origin Sect at present, the status of a true disciple's wife allows her to enter and leave the mountain gate freely.

In the Profound Origin Mountains, except for some forbidden areas and other people's cave dwellings, she can also wander freely.

After receiving the identity token, Xia Daoming took Liu Qiaolian to pay respects to Liang Jingtang.

Liang Jingtang saw that Liu Qiaolian was about the same age as Xia Daoming, but her cultivation was only at the ninth layer of Qi Refining, and he felt quite regretful in his heart, but he didn't say anything on the surface, just casually rewarded her with a high-tier magic tool as a meeting gift.

Xia Daoming originally wanted to ask Liang Jingtang to accept Liu Qiaolian as a registered disciple, to give her a status, so that Liu Qiaolian could enter the Scripture Pavilion and browse ancient scrolls related to array formations.

However, he was worried that Liang Jingtang would refuse, which would inevitably wrong Liu Qiaolian.

He didn't want Liu Qiaolian to be wronged, so he ultimately suppressed this thought, thinking that after a period of time, when the master-disciple relationship deepened and the relationship became more harmonious, and Liu Qiaolian would likely be able to take Jin Dan liquid to form her Foundation, with a solid foundation, she would be able to catch Liang Jingtang's eye, and then talk to Liang Jingtang privately.

Bidding farewell to Liang Jingtang, with Shao Shiyu and the others as guides, Xia Daoming and Liu Qiaolian began to wander around the Profound Origin Mountains.

The Profound Origin Mountains are very large.

Mountain peaks stand tall, one after another, as if there is no end.

But the mountain peaks that truly look full of spiritual energy and fertile land are basically already occupied by Jin Dan Elders and true disciples, or have been marked by the sect for planting spiritual medicines or other uses.

Xia Daoming, this newly promoted true disciple, wants to possess a top-notch cave dwelling mountain peak; he must either have a discerning eye to pick out a dusty spiritual peak from the crowd, or wait for a true disciple to perish and accept the mountain peak they vacated.

Because of this, Liang Jingtang urged Xia Daoming to look slowly.

However, Xia Daoming understands very well that there is a specialty in the art of surgery, and professional things should be handed over to professional people.

He himself definitely wouldn't waste time on this.

It just so happens that his wife is an expert in this area and is qualified to wander in the Profound Origin Mountains.

Liu Qiaolian did not live up to Xia Daoming's expectations, and after only seven days, she locked onto a mountain peak that looked ordinary and unremarkable.

That mountain peak was no more than six hundred zhang high.

The vegetation on it was withered, and within a five-mile radius of the mountain peak, one could hardly see any spiritual medicines or herbs, just some fire thorns and shrubs, and not even a few tall and lush trees could be seen, but there were six small, bare hillocks located there.

The five-mile area around the mountain peak is the territory of true disciple cave dwellings.

"Lady Liu, are you sure you want this mountain peak? This mountain is not high, and it looks like the land is very poor, and the spiritual energy is also average. Wouldn't it be too shabby to use as a cave dwelling, and it's also difficult to plant spiritual rice and spiritual medicines." Wan Yan frowned slightly.

"I also feel it's a bit poor; should we look carefully again?" Mo Yongzhi said.

Shao Shiyu was the same as usual, with a cold, old face, her eyes fixed on Liu Qiaolian.

"Since my wife says this mountain peak, then this mountain peak must be correct. Come, come, Qiaolian, tell the three senior sisters about it." Xia Daoming smiled.

"Yes, Master!" Liu Qiaolian bowed slightly to Xia Daoming, then turned to Mo Yongzhi and the others, deliberating for a while before explaining: "The only shortcoming of this mountain is that it is not high enough. However, although this mountain is not high, the mountain terrain is gentle, and the mountain area is very large, which can be considered to make up for the disadvantage of not being high.

The vegetation on this mountain and the surrounding land is not lush, not because the land is poor, but because the earth fire vein under this mountain is vigorous. If we spend some effort and wealth to gather and guide these earth fire veins out, it will be an inexhaustible fire for the alchemy furnace.

Once the earth fire vein is guided away, the land power of this mountain and the surrounding land will be exerted, and I have repeatedly observed

the terrain of this mountain and the surrounding area, as well as the direction of the spiritual vein of this mountain. It should be connected to that large third-tier spiritual vein that runs through the Profound Origin Mountain, away from the spiritual pivot node here.

If this is the case, the spiritual energy of this mountain should be far more than this, so it is highly likely that the spiritual vein has changed for some reason, and the connection with the spiritual pivot node of the third-tier spiritual vein has been broken.

As long as you give me some time, I have the confidence to find the problem, and then reconnect this mountain's spiritual vein to that spiritual pivot node.

In this way, we will be equivalent to possessing a small third-tier spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy around us will not only be full but also stable, suitable for our cultivation and breakthrough. However, wanting to reconnect it should require consuming quite a few spirit stones."

Speaking of this, Liu Qiaolian looked at Xia Daoming.

"Haha, you know, your master doesn't have much else, but currently has quite a few spirit stones." Xia Daoming laughed.

"Can it really be connected to the spiritual pivot node?" Shao Shiyu, who was usually sparing with words, couldn't help but ask with anxiety.

If what Liu Qiaolian said came true, then this mountain cave dwelling would be equivalent to the Jin Dan Elder level.

Each mansion on this mountain is like the mansion by Changqing Lake.

And the central location of this mountain is equivalent to the island in the center of Changqing Lake where the City Lord lives.

The City Lord of Changqing City is held by a Jin Dan Elder.

Then those of them who follow Xia Daoming, just living on this mountain, is equivalent to earning a lot of spirit stones for nothing every year.

"The problem shouldn't be big." Liu Qiaolian replied, not daring to speak too fully.

"Since the problem shouldn't be big, then let's set this mountain. Even if there is no way to connect to the spiritual pivot node, relying on the earth fire vein of this mountain, we can be considered to have picked a good cave dwelling." Xia Daoming said.

"That's right, as long as the earth fire vein of this mountain is used, not only will the fire for alchemy not be a worry, but the spiritual energy of this mountain will also return to normal. In any case, it is also at the second-tier spiritual vein level." Mo Yongzhi and the others nodded in agreement one after another.

Since it was decided, Xia Daoming didn't delay and went straight to the Internal Affairs Hall.

The Internal Affairs Hall's leading disciple saw that Xia Daoming had actually picked such an ordinary, or even poor and barren mountain peak, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

However, since Xia Daoming had decided, the leading disciple naturally wouldn't say much.

"This mountain peak currently has no name, so please give it a name, Xu Shixiong." The leading disciple said.

"Red Flame Shanfeng!" Xia Daoming remembered that there was an earth fire vein under this mountain, and the mountain was covered with red fire thorns, like fire burning, and his heart moved, blurting it out.

"Good, then from now on, this mountain and the five-mile range around this mountain will be Xu Shixiong's cave dwelling territory." The leading disciple wrote the two characters "Red Flame" on a token and presented it to Xia Daoming.

In the following days, Xia Daoming basically lived in the Vermilion Bird Residence by Changqing Lake every day, tempering his Blood Sea and stabilizing his Qi Refining perfection realm, preparing for Foundation Establishment.

As for Red Flame Shanfeng, it was naturally left to Liu Qiaolian and the others to toss about.

He only took action when he received a message and it was needed. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
