Chapter 737: Chapter 570 Heavenly Materials and Treasures_2

Yet now,

when He Song witnessed one Medicine Garden after another being unlocked and quickly harvested to completion, the ideas he originally held in his heart collapsed in that moment.

It turned out that the most valuable thing within the Vast Wave Secret Realm was actually those Medicine Gardens hidden beneath the realm by Array Skills.

The Medicine Gardens, each of which was planted with a vast array of precious and rare spirit medicine, saw their value soar rapidly over time, as more gardens were discovered.

Under the investigation of He Song’s divine sense,

the cultivators from the Wind Snow Palace had unlocked a total of four Medicine Gardens within this Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Besides these four Medicine Gardens full of abundant spirit medicine,

there were several spots enveloped by Concealment Arrays where other treasures were nurtured.

The treasures within these Concealment Array-covered areas might not seem particularly precious in He Song’s eyes,

but keep in mind,

He Song was now a cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Golden Core Middle Stage.

His perception of these items as less remarkable was due to his elevated vision.

For other cultivators, the sight of these items would likely quicken their breath and awaken greed.

This indicated the significant value of these items.

However, what slightly surprised He Song was that the Vast Wave Secret Realm could actually nurture heavenly materials.

This situation aroused a trace of curiosity in He Song regarding the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures,

only appear in places with dense spirit Qi.

Yet in the current Cultivation World, the spirit Qi in ordinary places is scarce, and only in each major Immortal Pavilion, Immortal City, and Immortal State do we find accumulations of richer spirit Qi.

Moreover, the spirit Qi in these places is all gathered by Spirit-Gathering Arrays.

The source from which Spirit-Gathering Arrays draw their spirit Qi naturally comes from the surrounding ordinary areas and further afield mountains and rivers.

Spirit Qi is also constantly produced from within these mountains and rivers.

However, the constantly produced spirit Qi from the mountains and rivers is quickly intercepted by the arrays set by cultivators and flows into Spirit-Gathering Arrays for their Cultivation practices.

The more exquisite a Spirit-Gathering Array is, the greater the area it can cover.

Accordingly,

a Miniature Spirit Gathering Array will naturally attract less spirit Qi than a Small Spirit Gathering Array.

First, a Miniature Spirit Gathering Array’s spirit-gathering effect is inferior to that of a Small Spirit Gathering Array.

Second, the range within which a Miniature Spirit Gathering Array can attract spirit Qi is smaller than that of a Small Spirit Gathering Array.

As such, when the spirit Qi produced from the mountains and rivers is intercepted by successive Spirit-Gathering Arrays and flows into these arrays,

the spirit Qi in the ordinary areas becomes so sparse.

It’s not that there is no spirit Qi in the ordinary areas.

The main reason is that the spirit Qi generated within the mountains and rivers of the ordinary areas has already been entirely captured by those large and small Spirit-Gathering Arrays nearby.

A Miniature Spirit Gathering Array captures some.

A Small Spirit Gathering Array captures some.

Spirit-Gathering Arrays capture even more.

And on top of Spirit-Gathering Arrays are even more intricate Spirit-Gathering Arrays.

This type of Spirit-Gathering Array, with a wider range of spirit Qi absorption, naturally encompasses greater areas.

As a result, when the spirit Qi produced within the mountains and rivers of the ordinary places is intercepted by one Spirit-Gathering Array after another,

it’s unnecessary to say how much spirit Qi is left in the ordinary areas.

This is also why the spirit Qi in ordinary places is scarce, and cultivators can only go to Immortal Pavilions and Immortal Cities to practice their Cultivation.

When He Song broke through to the Golden Elixir Realm, the Celestial God Thunder Array he laid out instantly drained a vast area of spirit Qi—that’s the reason for its impact.

The spirit-gathering effect of the Celestial God Thunder Array could cause such catastrophic consequences.

It shows just how large of an area a more exquisite Spirit-Gathering Array can cover and how much spirit Qi it can extract.

And it is precisely because of the existence of Spirit-Gathering Arrays in the Cultivation World that spirit Qi is scarce in the ordinary world.

Therefore, when He Song realized that this Vast Wave Secret Realm he was in could nurture heavenly materials,

his curiosity towards the Vast Wave Secret Realm was instantly piqued.

Heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they only appear in places with rich spirit Qi.

The Vast Wave Secret Realm did possess spirit Qi, but it wasn’t particularly thin; it was just that being underground, it retained more spirit Qi.

However, it was incomparable to those truly rich in spirit Qi.

So the notion that such concentrations of spirit Qi could give birth to heavenly materials and earthly treasures,

He Song just wouldn’t believe it.

At present, the concentration of spirit Qi in the Vast Wave Secret Realm could, at most, supply what was needed for Foundation Establishment cultivators’ practice.

To think that such a degree of spirit Qi could nurture heavenly materials and earthly treasures was pure fantasy.

Yet it was under these circumstances that He Song personally witnessed the cultivators of Wind Snow Palace opening up arrays and, from within those arrays, saw the existence of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Although it was possible that the people of Wind Snow Palace had laid down Spirit-Gathering Arrays here to meticulously cultivate these heavenly materials and earthly treasures,

to lay down Spirit-Gathering Arrays for these treasures, which He Song deemed not very valuable, and come to harvest them every hundred years.

Was it really worth it?

With these thoughts, He Song silently memorized the locations and just thought of visiting these places later on.

It would be best if he could fully comprehend the arrays at these locations.

Then, in the future, he would be able to possess several arrays capable of providing strong concealment abilities in water.

However, just as He Song was contemplating this,

his divine sense had already detected that the individuals from Wind Snow Palace, who had split up before, were now all converging at the very center of the Vast Wave Secret Realm.

It seemed they intended to meet there and leave the realm together.

By now, after several days, all the treasures in the Vast Wave Secret Realm, as well as the Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, had been collected by the people of Wind Snow Palace.

Wanting to leave now was therefore only natural.

Seeing this, He Song did not do anything.

He simply kept an eye on their movements with his divine sense while stealthily heading to the closest array.

He was quite covetous of this type of array, which could provide strong concealment in water.

Naturally, now that he saw the Wind Snow Palace cultivators were about to leave,

he hurriedly concealed his presence and went to one of the arrays to try to comprehend it; this had become He Song’s most desired issue at hand.

And as He Song concealed his own form and breath, came to the side of an array, and began to try to comprehend it,

the group from Wind Snow Palace had also gathered together.

Once everyone had hurried to the site,

and had handed over all their findings to the sole Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator among them,

the elderly Great Perfection cultivator then spoke.

“You all return to the Sect first, the old man will take these four spirit beasts back to where they once belonged,” he said.

As soon as the old man finished speaking,

the others by his side all nodded their heads in agreement.

The old man seemed to hold an extremely high position within Wind Snow Palace, and no one present harbored any doubts.

Even those Foundation Establishment True Persons did not dare to question when they heard the old man’s words,

and each nodded just like the Qi Refining stage disciples did.

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand casually, signaling for everyone to leave.

Meanwhile, the four Foundation Establishment spirit beasts also quickly approached the old man’s side.

When the others had all departed into the distance,

the old man also took the four spirit beasts and headed in another direction.

As the two groups went their separate ways,

He Song remained still at his original location.

Whatever choices the people of Wind Snow Palace made, He Song didn’t care.

Even if that elder took all the gains that Wind Snow Palace had acquired in the Vast Wave Secret Realm and fled, it had nothing to do with He Song.

At this moment, He Song was concentrating on comprehending the Water Hiding Array before him.

His divine sense expanded, covering more than two hundred miles around him.
