Although he knew that spiritual veins were good things and that martial artists could use them to cultivate, he couldn't explain what spiritual veins actually were.
So Wang Zongde shamelessly looked at Bai Yue.
"Please let Miss Bai tell us about it. Miss Bai is a True Yuan Realm martial artist with a higher cultivation level than me. How can I, a mere Separation and Union Realm cultivator, presume to teach her?" Wang Zongde said with a chuckle.
But Bai Yue couldn't explain it either!
Bai Yue is a dragon, a demon beast; she has never studied any formations or spiritual veins.
However, during the time she followed Ye Feng, she learned a lot, which is why she was able to determine just now that Ye Feng had found a spiritual vein and set up an array on it.
If you really ask her to explain, that would be too much for her.
Bai Yue then shamelessly said, "Although my cultivation level is higher than yours, I may not know as much as you do. You should explain, Wang Zongde."
Wang Zongde shook his head repeatedly: "How could I possibly embarrass myself in front of Miss Bai? Miss Bai, please speak, we are all ears."
"Wang Zongde, you're too kind. You should speak first. I'll give you the chance to shine," Bai Yue said.
Bai Yue and Wang Zongde were very polite to each other, but neither of them would explain what a spiritual vein actually was.
Everyone present could see it too.
It wasn't that Bai Yue didn't want to talk, nor that Wang Zongde didn't want to talk, but rather that they simply didn't understand.
Or perhaps they don't know much and are afraid of embarrassing themselves if they talk about things they don't understand.
The atmosphere around them grew increasingly strange, and Li Cuicui and the others wore odd smiles.
But the first one to burst out laughing was Wang Dachun, that silly boy.
Wang Dachun scratched his head and asked with a grin, "Father, Miss Bai, do you two not know what a spiritual vein is either?"
Wang Zongde's face immediately turned red with embarrassment and anger, and he wanted to slap his foolish son.
Only after being glared at by Li Cuicui did he have no choice but to retract his raised hand.
Bai Yue also felt very embarrassed, and said with a forced smile, "Let's wait for my cousin to come back and let him explain. He will definitely explain it more clearly than we do."
“Yes, that’s right. We’ll hear his explanation when Young Master Gong comes back.” Wang Zongde immediately nodded in agreement.
Half an hour has passed.
Ye Feng set up a total of nine spirit-gathering arrays on this spiritual vein. These nine arrays can continuously extract spiritual artifacts from the spiritual vein to help martial artists cultivate.
But actually, the night breeze is useless.
He was already a Human Immortal in the Returning to Emptiness Realm. At his level, the spiritual energy contained in his spiritual veins was almost of no help to him.
He did this simply because he thought Wang Zongde and his group were decent people, so he was just helping them out. Besides, Ye Feng would need their help in the future, so setting up a spirit-gathering array for them was also a way of giving them some benefits in advance.
After finishing, Ye Feng flew down from the hill and said as soon as he landed, "We will build houses on this hill, in the nine places where I just set up the formation. Since there are many of you, build the houses big, otherwise there won't be enough room for everyone."
Wang Zongde couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Young Master Gong, Miss Bai said you've most likely discovered a spiritual vein, is that true?"
“Yes, that’s right,” Ye Feng said with a smile.
"What exactly is a spiritual vein?" Wang Dachun asked.
Wang Zongde originally wanted to ask that question, but he was too embarrassed to ask it, otherwise he would have exposed his ignorance.
Now that Wang Dachun had asked the question on his behalf, he suddenly felt that his silly son was actually quite useful, and he found him much more agreeable.
Night Wind chuckled and said, "Just imagine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as water, and the spiritual veins as rivers."
After a pause, Ye Feng continued, "The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is everywhere—in the air, soil, rocks, lakes, oceans… everywhere. However, the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth is relatively thin, while the spiritual energy contained underground is much denser."
"Therefore, in some places, perhaps due to their unique structure or other factors, a large amount of spiritual energy gathers together and flows slowly, thus forming a special phenomenon similar to a river of spiritual energy. This river of spiritual energy is called a spiritual vein."
“There are many spiritual veins, but most of them are deep underground and difficult to utilize. However, there are a few spiritual veins located on the surface or not deep below the surface. These types of spiritual veins are relatively easier to utilize.”
"Just now, through a secret method, I discovered that there is a spiritual vein in this rolling hill. That's why I set up an array on the hill to draw out the spiritual energy from the spiritual vein."
"Now you understand what a spiritual vein is, and what I just did, right?"
Ye Feng's words were simple and easy to understand. Not only Bai Yue and Wang Zongde understood them, but everyone else did as well.
Wang Dachun gave a thumbs up and said, "Young Master Gong is amazing! He's much better than my father and much better than Miss Bai!"
“He’s my cousin, of course he’s better than me,” Bai Yue said with a giggle, not minding at all.
"Alright, enough talk. You guys go cut down trees and build houses on the hills now. I'm not helping you anymore," Ye Feng said.
"We don't need your help, Young Master Gong. Leave this rough work to us. As long as you, the esteemed alchemist, can help us refine some miraculous elixirs to neutralize the toxins, we'll be eternally grateful!" Wang Zongde said with a smile.
Suddenly realizing that he was speaking a bit too loudly, Wang Zongde quickly turned his head to look around, wondering if anyone else had heard what he had just said.
He turned his head and realized that Ye Feng had secretly set up a very hidden barrier around them, which could isolate the inside from the outside, so that not a single word of their conversation had been leaked.
This young master Gong is truly a bold and meticulous person!
Wang Zongde sighed to himself, then led his wife, children, and clansmen up the hill to cut down trees and build houses.
Wang Zongde was a peak Separation and Union Realm martial artist, Wang Dachun was a Kaiyuan Realm martial artist, and there were also several other Kaiyuan Realm or Qi Movement Realm martial artists among the others. Therefore, they were able to cut down trees very quickly, and could chop down a towering tree with just a few swings of their axes.
They started working in the morning, and by noon, the nine wooden houses were completed.
Although the exterior is not very attractive, and even has a rough and shoddy feel, these wooden houses are very spacious, and each has its own room. They are much better to live in than the row of houses below the hill!
The commotion naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"Are those people new here?"
