Chapter 446 Two Spiritual Veins
The Wang and Tang families collected information about all the spiritual veins and drew them together on the drawings, detailing the quality and size of the spiritual veins, as well as the important information around the spiritual veins, so that the various forces could choose from them.
After taking a quick look at the information about these spiritual veins, Zhou Daocheng could clearly see that most of the second-level middle and late spiritual veins were deep in the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp.
This is easy to understand. After all, the deeper you go into the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy, the stronger the monsters living there, and naturally there are more high-quality spiritual veins.
However, many forces are unwilling to choose spiritual veins that are too deep, but hope to find a spiritual vein close to Donglin Market.
There are actually two reasons.
First, the deeper you go into the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp and the farther away from Donglin Market, the more dangerous the environment around the spiritual vein.
Especially in the depths of the Hundred Insect Poison Swamp, there are almost no other forces around, but there are still many dangerous monsters living there, which is very unfavorable for development.
If you are close to Donglin Market, it is more convenient to trade with other forces, and it is faster to travel to and from the market.
Therefore, most of the foundation-building forces try to choose second-level spiritual veins that are not so deep.
However, Zhou Daocheng and others were completely different!
They kept looking for the spiritual vein deep in the Hundred Insects Poison Swamp.
Zhou Daocheng asked casually: "Fellow Daoist Qin, Fellow Daoist Lin, where is the spiritual vein you chose earlier?"
"It's about 5 days' journey east of Donglinfang City. It's not very far, nor is it very close." Qin Changyu replied.
Lin Xiaoyuan also responded: "The spiritual vein I chose is right next to Fellow Daoist Qin's spiritual vein, about half a day's journey away."
Then, Qin Changyu added: "Not only is our spiritual vein close, but also the spiritual veins of the Lu family, the Xia family, the casual cultivator Qi Congnan, and Fellow Daoist Zhou Daobai. We all chose the spiritual veins after consultation, and the locations are all gathered together, almost forming a circle."
As he said, Qin Changyu also gestured.
Zhou Daocheng nodded. The spiritual vein selected by his elder brother Zhou Daobai was not of very good quality. It was only of the lower grade of the second level, and there were no other special resources.
However, the only advantage is that they are very close to other allies, all in one area, and there are no spiritual veins of other forces around this area.
This means that the small cooperative alliance formed by Wugufang City, Disha Sect, Lingshe Sect, Lu Family, Xia Family, and Sanxiu Qi from the south can cooperate with each other in this area to develop and form a small trading business circle.
This is also the choice made by Zhou Daocheng and others after repeated consideration. In the future, if they want to survive in the Hundred Insects Poison Swamp, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one force.
Only by cooperating with each other, forming an alliance with each other, and making more friends can they have efficient and stable development and ensure their own safety.
At the same time, the location of the spiritual vein selected earlier is about four or five days away from Donglinfang City, which is not very far and convenient to travel.
So when buying the second spiritual vein now, it is mainly used as a back-up, as a more secret station, so naturally it is necessary to choose a spiritual vein that is rarely visited and deep in the Hundred Insects Poison Swamp.
In fact, Lin Xiaoyuan and Qin Changyu have some concerns, after all, they also know that once they go very deep, the degree of danger will be very high.
Therefore, the spiritual vein they chose is located in an area 2 months away from the east of Donglinfang City. The location is very deep, and a large number of mid- and late-stage second-level monsters appear around it.
The quality of the spiritual vein is not low, and it can reach the second-level middle grade, and it also grows some important resources, which should bring a lot of economic value.
If it was in the past, the value would most likely be more than 100,000 spiritual stones, but this time the two people only spent 80,000 spiritual stones to buy these two spiritual veins.
After careful selection, Zhou Daocheng selected two spiritual veins with the quality of the second-level middle grade in the deeper part of the Hundred Insects Poison Swamp!
Moreover, the two second-level middle-grade spiritual veins only cost 50,000 spiritual stones.
This price is so cheap that it is unimaginable. In the eyes of anyone, it is a bargain. But the actual situation is somewhat different!
The reason why these two spiritual veins are sold together is that they are close together, and the distance between the two is only a few hundred meters, and they cannot be sold to two forces at all.
The reason why the price is so cheap is actually mainly due to two reasons.
First of all, because they were too deep into the poisonous swamp of insects, it was two and a half months away from Donglin Market, and they were almost on the edge of the cleared area. There was a high possibility of late-stage second-level or third-level monsters, which was extremely dangerous.
If there were no powerful cultivators stationed there, or powerful formations, it would be almost difficult to defend the spiritual veins.
The geographical location of these two spiritual veins was already very bad, but there was another huge flaw, that is, there was a kind of monster near the spiritual veins - the six-winged scale bee.
This was a large number of insect monsters, bloodthirsty and violent, mainly carnivorous, and not very powerful individually, but extremely powerful when they were deployed in groups, somewhat similar to the soul-devouring ants.
However, compared with the soul-devouring ants, the six-winged scale bee had the ability to fly, moved many times faster, and had stronger overall strength, generally reaching the late-stage second-level, and even some six-winged scale bee colonies, if the third-level queen bee appeared, the overall strength could reach the third level.
The soul-devouring ant colonies were relatively weaker, generally around the middle-stage second-level.
The six-winged scale bees living near these two spiritual veins had barely reached the late-stage second-level.
So, although this spiritual vein is cheap, most forces are too lazy to even take a look.
Even the Wang family and the Tang family were too lazy to send people to clean up the six-winged scale bees. Such dangerous monsters have reached the late second stage, and their actual combat power should be able to reach the ninth level of foundation building.
If you want to clean it up thoroughly, at least five or six ninth-level foundation building masters must be sent to ensure that there is no risk.
Such a huge project, and the harvest is not high, no one is willing to do it, so it can only be sold at a low price.
After seeing these two spiritual veins, Zhou Daocheng could no longer walk. After gesturing at the terrain of the spiritual veins for a long time, he gritted his teeth and bought them.
Lin Xiaoyuan and Qin Changyu wanted to stop him, but Zhou Daocheng's attitude was extremely firm. He directly paid the spirit stones and took these two spiritual veins into his pocket.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the location of these two spiritual veins is extremely bad, and there is almost no value, and they are not willing to touch them at all.
This is indeed the case. If it were other foundation-building forces, they would never easily approach these two spirit veins. Not only would it be difficult to develop and utilize them, but there would also be a high possibility of being attacked by second-order monsters, and in the end the gains would outweigh the losses.
