At Yundao Peak and other locations where a small-scale Spirit Gathering

Formation was set up, it would absorb the spiritual energy from other parts of Chengsheng Mountain, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the area of the formation to 180 points.

The concentration of spiritual energy at Chengdao Peak was even higher, reaching 420 points. Such a level of spiritual energy concentration could only be found in the dwellings occupied by the Ten Major Sects.

Of course, after those major sects used high-grade Spirit Gathering

Formations, the concentration of spiritual energy would be even higher.

Just setting up eleven Spirit Gathering Formations had cost Han Mansion half of the Spirit Stones it had accumulated over many years, and that was the result of Han Li, who was a Seventh Grade Array Master, setting up the formations himself.

Otherwise, if they had hired someone to set up the formations, the cost would be many times higher, with just the material expenses amounting to an astronomical figure.

In the Cultivation Realm, a Ninth Grade Spirit Gathering Formation could only increase the concentration of spiritual energy by 50%, selling for 500 Lower Grade Spirit Stones; an Eighth Grade Spirit Gathering Formation could double the concentration, selling for 10,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones; while a Seventh Grade could triple it, selling for 2,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to 200,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

The prices of Spirit Gathering Formations were extremely expensive, but they were very practical and a necessary item for every power.

The Spirit Gathering Formations sold on the market did not cover a large area, at most 5 miles around, which was considered the standard range for a Spirit Gathering Formation.

To purchase a larger Spirit Gathering Formation, one would have to pay a lot more money. The larger the area, the more materials would be consumed in setting up the formation, and the price could increase manyfold.

Even Tianxuan Mountain, which had set up a large-scale Spirit Gathering Formation, only had an Eighth Grade one that covered the entire mountain. If it were Seventh Grade, it would have bankrupted Tianxuan Mountain, mainly because Tianxuan Mountain is much larger than Chengsheng Mountain by several orders of magnitude.

Some important places on Tianxuan Mountain would have separate Spirit Gathering Formations set up, the more important the location, the higher the grade of the formation set up. However, the highest was only Sixth Grade, as anything higher was unaffordable.

A standard Sixth Grade Spirit Gathering Formation required five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and a standard Fifth Grade Spirit Gathering Formation required one hundred million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to 10,000 Top Quality Spirit Stones.

Only the powers of the Myriad Phenomena Realm had the foundation and were willing to purchase a Fifth Grade Spirit Gathering Formation. As for higher-grade formations, none were sold on the market.

The aforementioned spiritual energy densities are only theoretical values. In reality, the richness of spiritual energy at locations such as Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak, and Yundao Peak was much lower.

Han Li conducted an investigation and found that the spiritual energy had vanished without a trace, and he didn’t know where it had gathered.

This made Han Li even more certain that there was something wrong with Chengsheng Mountain; there was a major entity absorbing spiritual energy, hidden very deeply, at least beyond the current detection capabilities of Han Li.

He suspected that Chengsheng Mountain truly concealed a Soul-Cultivating Furnace or a Life -Prolonging Furnace, most likely the latter. The

Soul-Cultivating Furnace was only an imitation and not as extraordinary.

The reason for the scarce spiritual energy in Yonchang Manor dated back to ancient times; over 110,000 years since then, only a treasure from ancient times like the Life-Prolonging Furnace could have the capacity to absorb spiritual energy for so many thousands of years.

As to why it absorbed spiritual energy, Han Li guessed that the Life -Prolonging Furnace was damaged in the great calamity of ancient times and was now autonomously repairing the damaged areas, which required a continuous supply of spiritual energy.

Alternatively, a supreme Spirit Pill or a powerful Divine Weapon might be in the process of being refined inside the Life-Prolonging Furnace, requiring the absorption of spiritual energy for 110,000 years, and still not having reached its limit.

In that month, apart from setting up Spirit Gathering Formations, Han Li also refined many pills, weapons, and made numerous talismans for Han Mansion.

Because Han Mansion had recruited many Ninth Grade and Eighth Grade

Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, and Mark Masters, Han Li only needed to refine Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifacts, as well as Seventh Grade, Sixth Grade, and Fifth Grade Spirit Pills, and talismans above Seventh Grade.

In the Four Arts of Cultivation, Han Li was a Fifth Grade Pill Refining Master, Sixth Grade Mark Master, Seventh Grade Artifact Refiner, and Array Master.

Items below Sixth Grade would be sold in large quantities to earn Spirit Stones, while Sixth Grade, Fifth Grade, and top Fifth Grade items would be stored first for various uses, such as rewards, exchange options, or future sales, among others.

Besides recruiting cultivators who studied the Four Arts of Cultivation, Han Mansion also recruited many cultivators at the Innate Realm and Pihai Realm to serve as family guards, and even two cultivators at the Gangyuan Realm Grand Master level were willing to become Guest Elders, as long as Han Li mentored them twice a year.

Han Li marveled that they were fortunate to have made the most correct decision in their lives. Han Li was an extremely strong cultivator with True Martial Realm combat ability, meeting with them twice a year was a tremendous opportunity for them.

Therefore, Han Li had them sign a long-term contract; they couldn’t just leave after improving their cultivation level, no way!

They had to work for him honestly.

During this period, Han Li also began formally training the younger generation of his family. Before the move, there were already quite a few eight-year-old children, and after nearly two years spent moving, dozens more eight-year-olds had joined.

Among them were many with high aptitude, such as Han Yongzhen with Third Grade aptitude, Han Yonglin with Fifth Grade aptitude, and Han Yongyun with Sixth Grade aptitude, among others.

There were also some who had cultivated to the Innate Realm, such as Han Yongfan, Han Yongchun, and Han Yongli; they had been taught by Han Li en route, and their cultivation had progressed rapidly, nearing a breakthrough to the Pihai Realm.

Han Li had already thought of a fairly systematic and complete system for training his family’s younger generations, and he had prepared various challenges and benefits. As long as they met his requirements and passed his tests, they could earn a wealth of benefits.

The benefits were manifold, such as higher-level Cultivation Techniques, martial skills, personal mentoring opportunities from Han Li, Cultivation resources like Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills, and Spiritual Artifacts, and even chances to obtain sword talismans and other talismans made by Han Li himself.

Han Li also knew well that aptitude did not determine everything, nor did aptitude equate to comprehension.A cultivator’s advancement to profound realms was influenced by various factors..
