Chapter 471: Take a break from your busy schedule, the magic of the world's number one spring
Li Dingguo returned to the capital and after dealing with military and political affairs today, he and Hongmei, each riding on a spirit bird, arrived at Yuquan Mountain, hundreds of miles west of the imperial city.
"Is this the secret realm of Yuquan Mountain? The royal secret realm of the Ming Dynasty royal family?"
Two large golden eagles landed on the hillside of Yuquan Mountain. Li Dingguo looked at the forest in front of him which was shrouded by a protective formation and said with some surprise.
The Ming Dynasty lasted for thousands of years, so it is impossible that it had no foundation.
According to legend, the secret place of Yuquan Mountain is one of the foundations of the Ming Dynasty royal family that has survived to this day.
The reason why Li Dingguo was a little surprised was that he saw a large stream full of spiritual energy emerging out of thin air from the area covered by the formation in front and flowing towards the east. It was very magical.
Earlier on his journey, he saw this stream filled with spiritual energy, flowing all the way to the imperial city in the east, and was the source of water for the imperial city.
He had heard some rumors a long time ago that the spring water from Yuquan Mountain was the best in quality and the most spiritual in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, without a doubt.
This was different from all the secret realms and caves Li Dingguo had seen before. Even the protective formation could not completely isolate the springs inside and outside the secret realm.
The spring water inside the secret realm can actually flow to the outside world through the protective formation, which makes Li Dingguo, the grand master of formation, a little confused.
To be honest, Li Dingguo had long wanted to come and explore this long-famous royal secret realm of the Ming Dynasty, but it was only today that he had the time to come and check it out.
The Ming Dynasty court has moved south to Nanjing. Presumably, the precious spiritual herbs and roots in this secret realm have been moved away and it is impossible for them to remain.
Although we don't have high expectations for the treasures in the secret realm of Yuquan Mountain, it is still the source of water for the capital city.
Even if there are no treasures left in the secret realm, the Yuquan Mountain Spiritual Spring, known as "the best spiritual spring in the world", is enough to deserve attention.
During these years of fighting in the south and the north, and in the east and the west, the Fuxing Army had obtained a large number of spiritual tea trees of various levels.
In addition to the Dahongpao tea tree with innate superior spiritual roots in Wan'er's natal artifact, the Hundred Herbs Map, there were also hundreds of high-level spiritual tea trees that were acquired.
If you want to make good tea, you naturally need spiritual spring water.
Now that we have conquered the northern capital, of course we must make full use of the famous spiritual spring in Yuquan Mountain.
"Grand Commander, the protective formation of this Yuquan Mountain secret realm is not simple. Can you break it?"
Hongmei checked the aura of the guardian formation of this Ming Dynasty royal secret realm and asked with a serious expression.
“Before my life-defining divine weapon is completely unsealed, I can only sigh in despair at this strongest protective formation I have ever encountered.”
As a great master of formations, Li Dingguo scanned the protective formation in front of him with his powerful mind, nodded and said, "But now? Breaking the protective formation of this secret realm is still not a problem."
He also couldn't imagine that the guardian formation of this legendary royal secret realm would be so powerful, and it could be said to be the best of all the secret realm formations he had ever seen.
“But even if you, Hongmei, use the thirty-six Dinghai Divine Pearls of your life artifact to break the formation with an array, you can forcibly break it.”
Li Dingguo said it well.
No matter how powerful the guardian formation of the Yuquan Mountain Royal Secret Realm is, it can never be compared with the innate sea-covering formation that comes with the thirty-six Dinghai Divine Pearls.
One is an acquired formation, the other is an innate formation, and the two are not on the same level.
"Well, let me give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Hongmei immediately became interested, her eyes lit up, and she said to Li Dingguo.
Since she started practicing, except for the siege of Shengjing City, she has never tried to break the formation with her own formation. Now is undoubtedly an excellent practical operation. It will be helpful for her to experience it personally when encountering similar situations in the future.
The Fuxing Army will conquer the world in the future, so it is impossible for Li Dingguo to always break the formation himself.
If nothing unexpected happens, similar situations will often occur in the future. It is necessary for Hongmei to give it a try now.
After she finished speaking, she leaped up to a height of a hundred feet, and her mind was fully activated, covering the area within a radius of a hundred miles.
"The Dinghai Divine Pearl, come out!"
As soon as she thought about it, her life-saving divine orb flashed out and transformed into thirty-six streams of light, flying to the vicinity of the secret realm of Yuquan Mountain.
"The Innate Sea-Covering Formation, rise!"
Hongmei shouted loudly, and streams of azure blue light emerged from the Dinghai Divine Pearls that were hundreds of feet in size. They crisscrossed the area and in an instant formed a terrifying innate formation that enveloped the entire area where the Yuquan Mountain Secret Realm was located.
With her current cultivation level of the middle sixth stage, and the Dinghai Divine Pearl, a set of magical artifacts that is only one seal away from being completely unlocked, she can easily cover an area of more than a hundred miles in radius when she exerts her full strength.
If the formation is not formed in a flash, and it takes a certain amount of time to gradually set up the formation, this innate sea-covering formation can even cover an area of hundreds of miles!
The scope of the Yuquan Mountain secret realm in front of them was not large, only a hundred miles in radius, which was enough for Hongmei to form a formation with just a thought.
"Buzz..."
Under Hongmei's control of the mind, this innate formation of magical powers activated by the artifact bead of her natal set suddenly showed astonishing power.
Under the effect of the formation, each of them turned into azure blue gems over a hundred feet in size, drawing mysterious tracks and rising into the air one after another like small hills, launching a continuous attack on the guardian formation of this secret realm!
"boom……"
Under the successive bombardment of divine artifacts with astonishing attack power, the protective shield of the secret realm ahead flashed out, and the colorful light flickered. Although it temporarily blocked the attacks from the outside world, the light gradually dimmed.
Facts have proved that although the protective formation of the Yuquan Mountain Secret Realm is powerful, it cannot withstand the powerful attack of the Xiantian Covering Sea Formation.
Although Hongmei's current cultivation level is mid-level sixth, she can only stimulate a trace of the power of the innate magical formation that comes with this set of natal artifacts, but it is still not something that the guardian formation of this secret realm can withstand.
About a quarter of an hour later, as Li Dingguo watched, the light shield of the protective formation of the Yuquan Mountain Secret Realm suddenly shattered and turned into specks of light and disappeared.
"receive!"
Having successfully broken this excellent protective formation, a look of joy flashed across Hongmei's face. With a thought, she took the thirty-six Dinghai Divine Pearls back into her sea of consciousness and looked towards the secret realm in front of her that had lost the protection of the formation.
As expected, although the spiritual energy in this secret realm of Yuquan Mountain is very rich, it is full of potholes.
It turned out that the large number of spiritual herbs and roots planted in it had been dug up by the Ming royal family.
"This……"
Although it was expected, even Li Dingguo was speechless after seeing this scene with his own eyes.
Well, he also knew that the imperial family of the Ming Dynasty was very poor nowadays and was calculating carefully in everything. The rare spiritual herbs and roots in this royal secret realm could be said to be the last heritage of the royal family. Naturally, they all had to be taken away. It was impossible for them to be left to benefit the Fuxing Army.
After all, the secret place of Yuquan Mountain is well-known. Once the capital falls, Li Dingguo will certainly not let it go. "Let's go in and take a look."
Li Dingguo said something to Hongmei, then he soared into the air and flew towards the secret realm where the protective formation had temporarily become ineffective due to energy exhaustion.
Unlike the protective formations set up artificially, the naturally formed secret realm protective formations will recover on their own after a period of time after being forcibly broken by the outside world.
This is the magic of the natural secret realm, which is very different from the artificial formation.
Of course, the strength of the secret realm's guardian formation also depends on the strength of the spiritual veins within it.
The stronger the spiritual vein, the more powerful the protective formation will be. Otherwise, it will gradually become ineffective and break apart and disappear due to the ravages of time.
Just like many secret spiritual places that Li Dingguo had encountered before, their protective formations could not withstand the invasion of the long years. As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became less and less, they became shaky and even dissipated on their own.
But obviously the secret place here in Yuquan Mountain is different.
With the continuous recovery of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the past two years, the spiritual veins of this secret realm have not only not degenerated, but have become even stronger.
This means that even though the protective formation of this secret realm had just been broken by Hongmei using her own divine artifact, the innate formation, it would not take long for it to recover on its own.
After entering this royal secret realm that had been plundered by the Ming Dynasty royal family, Li Dingguo's first action was to refine and control this protective formation.
With his cultivation as a grandmaster of formations, he quickly analyzed the protective formation here, cracked and refined the formation base, and then used the Human Emperor Cauldron to refine enough entry and exit restriction magic weapon tokens.
Only after completing these operations can you be said to have control over this secret realm.
"Commander-in-chief, I have already inspected the secret realm of Yuquan Mountain."
While Li Dingguo was analyzing and controlling the secret realm's protective formation, Hongmei carefully searched the not-so-large secret realm, then flashed back to Li Dingguo and said, "Although all the natural treasures, spiritual herbs and roots in this secret realm have been taken away by the Ming imperial family, the most precious spring has not been destroyed."
"Obviously, the Ming imperial family still holds out hope for a successful northern expedition and the recovery of lost territory in the future, and is unwilling to accept failure like this."
"Otherwise, this spiritual spring, known as the best spring in the world, would not have remained intact."
Hongmei's words were full of joy.
She had just tested this world-famous spiritual spring and found that the spring water was not only rich in spiritual energy, but was even evolving into an innate spiritual spring.
This is definitely good news for Li Dingguo.
Although it is unclear whether the evolution and upgrade of this famous spiritual spring was originally there or a change occurred after the Renaissance Army entered the capital, it is of vital importance to the senior generals of the Renaissance Army.
Apart from anything else, under the effect of the Three Lights Divine Water, one of the three divine liquids in the universe nurtured by Wan'er's natal artifact, the Jade Purifying Bottle, the growth cycle of the innate top-grade spiritual root tea tree is greatly shortened.
If there is an innate spiritual spring to brew Da Hong Pao tea, its magical effect will probably be doubled.
Although Li Dingguo, Hongmei and Wan'er all have a space artifact in the current Renaissance Army, there is currently no innate spiritual spring in the artifact cave.
Once the spring in the secret realm of Yuquan Mountain is upgraded to an innate spiritual spring, one can imagine how much it will help improve the cultivation of high-level generals of the Renaissance Army.
The realm of spirit refining, which was originally out of reach, will no longer be an unclimbable peak in the future, and it can even be said to be a new beginning.
The miraculous effect of the innate spiritual spring is far different from that of the acquired spiritual spring.
The miraculous effect of the innate spiritual tea can only be truly stimulated if it is brewed with the innate spiritual liquid.
At that time, it was not only of great help to the practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm, but it could even last all the way to the high-level cultivation in the Immortal Realm and remain effective.
"This is great news."
Li Dingguo's eyes lit up when he heard this. He flew to the sky above the secret spring, and with his mind fully open, he looked at it carefully.
Although the spiritual spring in this secret realm is only a few feet in radius, it produces a huge amount of water.
The spiritual spring water gushed out continuously, forming a large river that flowed into the capital.
Li Dingguo's spiritual sense could clearly sense that the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the extremely clear spring water was slowly increasing, and there was even a faint innate aura contained in it.
"well……"
Li Dingguo couldn't help but applaud, "It's worthy of being called the best spring in the world!"
"Let's not talk about other things about the Ming imperial family, but they have done a very good job in protecting this spiritual spring."
"It looks like in another year or two, this spiritual spring will be upgraded to an extremely rare innate spiritual spring. Our civil and military officials of the Renaissance Army will be blessed."
He stretched out his hand and a stream of spring water was drawn in front of him and floated there. Li Dingguo could clearly sense that the spiritual spring water from Yuquan Mountain was much lighter than all the spring water he had ever seen.
The lighter the same volume of spiritual spring water is, the better its quality is, and the easier it is to be absorbed by living beings, especially practitioners.
Even for ordinary spring water, the theory is the same.
In his previous life on Earth, the spring water in Yuquan Mountain was like this.
It is also known as the No. 1 spring in the world. The weight of the spring water of the same volume is lighter than any other spring water in the world.
Of course, ordinary people could not taste it. Only the powerful and wealthy throughout the dynasties could drink it.
"The rich spiritual energy of this secret realm is evolving towards innate spiritual energy. We must make good use of it so as not to waste this unique and special spiritual secret realm."
Li Dingguo carefully checked the spiritual veins in this magical secret realm and said to Hongmei happily, "We in the Renaissance Army have no shortage of various high-level spiritual herbs, spiritual roots, seeds, and saplings. We have plenty of them in our natal space artifacts."
He discussed it with Hongmei and decided to do it himself to plant various high-level spiritual herbs, spiritual roots, spiritual food, and spiritual fruit trees in this magical secret realm.
In order to make full use of this unique secret realm, which has never been seen before, and greatly enhance the foundation of the Renaissance Army.
Both of them have powerful divine thoughts, so completing this operation is very simple and does not take much time.
Li Dingguo and Hongmei worked together, and according to the distribution of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in this secret spiritual realm, they spent two days planting a large number of various spiritual herbs and roots.
At this time, due to the large amount of spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual veins, the secret realm guarding formation that had been forcibly broken before has been restored.
This made Li Dingguo feel relieved. He no longer had to worry about the safety of this secret realm. He and Hongmei flashed out of this special secret realm, rode the big golden eagle back to the imperial city, and then dealt with the large amount of military and political affairs that had accumulated in the past two days...
