When he first came to this world, all of Meng Zhou's impressions of the spiritual world came from the memory of his former master.

At that time, Qingxuan Domain and Qingxuan Sect were just hearsay to him, legends and stories pieced together here and there, unable to even form a rough outline.

Because the former master’s activities in the spiritual world were basically in the area around Cuiyu Lake.

Meng Zhou stayed in Qinglinfang for more than half a year, and the Qingxuan Domain, which was originally just a chaotic fog, gradually became clearer in his mind.

And as visitors from outside the domain have been attending the auctions of Hexin Building in recent days, they have naturally learned more about things outside the Qingxuan Domain.

The Qingxuan Territory alone covers an area of ​​100,000 miles. The third level spiritual vein Qinglin Peak where the Qingxuan Sect is located is basically located in the center of the Qingxuan Territory.

Sixteen second-level spiritual veins are scattered within this vast area of ​​100,000 miles.

Based on its own influence, power projection efficiency, and some objective environmental factors, Qingxuan Sect divided the entire Qingxuan Domain into three layers with Qingxuan Sect as the center.

The area within 30,000 miles is considered the hinterland by default, the area between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is the middle ring, and the area outside the middle ring is the peripheral area.

The cultivators of Qinglinfang live under the feet of Qingxuan Sect, and they are influenced by this. When considering the spiritual veins in Qingxuan Domain, they will naturally have such a level of consciousness in their thinking.

Meng Zhou is no exception.

The map of Qingxuan Territory in his mind was divided into three layers in this way.

Within the hinterland, there are four second-order spiritual veins, basically evenly distributed in all directions of Qinglin Peak.

Of course, it can also be said that there are three, because one of them is called Jade Lake, and it has now been upgraded to a third-level spiritual land.

But in the area between 30,000 miles and 60,000 miles, there are as many as nine second-order spiritual veins.

On the contrary, in the peripheral area that seems to be larger, there are only three second-order spiritual veins scattered here and there.

This is because there are three huge third-order evil veins within the Qingxuan Domain, all of which are in the outer area. And around the third-order evil veins, there are more second-order and first-order evil veins distributed, and a large number of powerful monsters live in them.

If we say that the first and second level evil veins in the hinterland have basically been regarded as breeding farms and cash machines.

Its biggest function is to produce a steady stream of monster meat, as well as raw materials such as animal skins, animal bones, and animal blood, as well as some spiritual plants and spiritual minerals that can only be produced in evil veins. They have basically been used as

The practitioners led by Qingxuanzong developed each mature resource producing area.

The power of the practitioners in the middle area can still gain an absolute power advantage over the demonic beasts within the range.

Then the situation in the outer area is just the opposite. The only three second-level spiritual veins are often invaded and attacked by monsters.

There are sporadic normal harassments, some out-of-group monsters or flying monsters entering the range of the spiritual veins, and occasionally there are large-scale waves of monsters.

However, because the participating monsters are all first- and second-level monsters, and this wave of monsters is the result of many evil-veined monsters multiplying and spreading outward spontaneously.

The second-order spiritual veins were unfortunately affected, rather than the monster group's deliberate targeting of the monk group. Therefore, although the situation of these three second-order spiritual veins is worse than that of other second-order spiritual veins, they can still be stable.

maintain.

However, this is also the limit.

Meng Zhou had heard such a rumor in Qinglinfang, saying that more than forty years ago, Qingxuan Sect had basically completed the large-scale land reclamation of Qinglin Peak, and the internal situation had been sorted out, and the rest would only take time to continue.

reward.

At that time, Qingxuanzong had already planned to project part of his power beyond Qinglin Peak.

From the very beginning, Qingxuanzong focused on the outer areas.

In the wider peripheral area, there are more second-order spiritual veins and first-order spiritual veins than in the central area.

It's just that these spiritual veins are basically intertwined with evil veins, and they are all managed into the lairs of monsters.

The other forces are not strong enough and naturally have nothing to do about the situation.

But Qingxuanzong is different. The high-end combat power includes the core-forming realm experts. The various resources that can be mobilized together with the foundation-building experts and other forces are not of the same order of magnitude. It can directly form a pioneering army composed of core-forming and foundation-building realms.

The team quickly cleared out a second-level spiritual vessel without much difficulty.

But this plan suffered a setback the first time it was tried.

A large number of first- and second-order monsters were quickly exterminated, and the despair and panic caused by the mass extinction was directly transmitted to the third-order monsters sleeping in the third-order evil veins.

This sense of panic directly caused the third-order great demon to react in a stressful manner, setting off a joint wave of beasts across evil veins. Moreover, the third-level great demon took the initiative to rush to the front line.

Because Qingxuanzong saw the opportunity quickly, he did not suffer much loss, but the ending was undoubtedly quite embarrassing and hasty.

From then on, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between the powerful pill-forming man and the third-level demon.

The strong ones who formed the core would not go out to harvest a large number of first- and second-level monsters, and the third-level monsters would not target low-level monks. The kind of unified monster tide that crosses evil veins and has a clear purpose has never appeared again.

It was also after this incident that Qingxuan Sect became more stable.

It took forty years to concentrate on running Qinglinfang and build it into a well-known and most trustworthy second-level spiritual place in Qingxuan Domain.

…

Meng Zhou immediately excluded the three second-order spiritual veins in the outer area from his selection.

He just wanted to develop his potential cultivation in peace and quiet, but he didn't want to be knocked on the door by monsters every now and then.

You can't go to Cuiyu Lake, which is now the most complicated and chaotic place in Qingxuan Territory.

Late-stage foundation-building monks, fake elixir masters, and even elixir-forming masters cannot afford to interfere.

In addition to Jade Lake, the other three second-level spiritual veins in the hinterland were also excluded by Meng Zhou. The reason is also very simple: they are too close to Qingxuan Sect.

Since we have decided to grow steadily for a period of time and spend the most vulnerable period of infancy after foundation building, we naturally want to stay as far away from the great god Qingxuanzong as possible.

As far away as possible.

He has already acquired the identity of "Mengzhuang" and mastered all the methods of cultivating essence, qi, and spirit. He also has no shortage of spiritual stones. All he needs now is a second-level spiritual land of sufficient quality.

This is completely different from the hard work of other monks who not only have to practice, but also think about earning spiritual stones, and also constantly explore and explore the next step of practice direction and practice methods.

Therefore, the only options available to Meng Zhou were the nine second-order spiritual veins in the central area.

Meng Zhou made his choice without going through a difficult and tortuous mental journey.

"Mikawa Plateau."

If we were to rank the second-order spiritual veins within the Qingxuan Domain, even if Mikawahara could not be ranked first from the bottom, it would at least have a solid place among the top three.

Even if they are of the same level of spiritual veins, their quality may be high or low.

Although spiritual veins are naturally created, the influence of geography and topography on the quality of spiritual veins is well known.

Either there are mountains and water, or there are valleys and swamps. Only such an environment can store more spiritual energy.

On the contrary, the spiritual energy will be very shallow and floating.

The Sanchuan Plateau is such a place with no mountains, no water, no valleys, no swamps, just a flat piece of yellow land like a chessboard.

However, it is precisely for this reason that among all the second-level spiritual veins in the Qingxuan Domain, the situation here is the one that makes Meng Zhou feel most at ease.

Unlike the Jade Lake when the Mo family was still there, it was calm on the surface, but there was an undercurrent surging beneath the surface. A small second-level spiritual vein, there is no telling how many scheming plans are hidden.

Not only are there fake elixir masters, but there may also be alchemy masters lurking.

This is not the case in Sanchuan Plain. Not to mention that the masters of alchemy will not settle here, even the masters of false elixirs will not settle here, because this place cannot support their ambitions.

Even the monks in the late stage of foundation building are very few, because those who still have hope for forming pills will not spend their time here. There is no future path they want here.

However, in contrast, the number of monks in the early and middle stages of foundation establishment is no less than that of other second-level spiritual veins, and is even more.

This is related to the characteristics of Sanchuan Yuan - as a second-level spiritual vein, Sanchuan Yuan certainly has its own unique features, and it cannot be truly useless.

Xu is a kind of balanced compensation from heaven. If you lose something, you will gain something.

The unique mountains and landforms create the unique Sanchuan Plateau.

As a second-level spiritual vein, there are almost no unique spiritual materials or mines that can be used here, whether they are first-level or second-level.

But on the other hand, the Sanchuan Plateau, which covers an area of ​​more than 600 miles, has the most fertile soil and the most powerful soil, which is very suitable for opening up a large area of ​​​​spiritual medicinal gardens.

But there is a premise, that is, the water problem must be solved - not ordinary irrigation water, but spiritual spring water containing corresponding spiritual quality.

In the waterless Sanchuan Plateau, the only solution is to use magic.

The first-level Xiaoyunyu Technique and the second-level Cloudy Rain Technique summon the sweet rain containing spiritual energy.

Many monks who are not good at fighting will choose to come to Sanchuan Plain to become cultivating farmers.

Those with low cultivation level can join a force, use their meager mana to provide a few drops of rain and dew every day, and earn some pitiful spiritual stones and rice;

Those with higher cultivation levels have more choices.

According to Meng Zhou's understanding, many foundation-building casual cultivators in the Qingxuan Territory have the experience of coming to the Sanchuan Plain to farm. Although it is inefficient, it is the safest and most secure way for foundation-building casual cultivators without a foundation background to accumulate spiritual stones.

.

Of course, it is precisely because the income from this method is too inefficient that most foundation-building casual cultivators will leave Sanchuan Plateau to seek better development after making their first pot of gold.

Because of this frequent coming and going, Sanchuanyuan has formed a special atmosphere when it comes to foreign foundation-building monks.

As long as they do not take the initiative to participate in the deeper game of interests and power, and manage their own one-third of an acre of land peacefully, no one or force will take the initiative to embarrass a foundation farmer.

He doesn't really care about who he is, where he comes from, or where he goes.

These factors are what attracted Meng Zhou to the Sanchuan Plain.
