After experiencing the trendous changes within the Formation, ng Zhang was still trembling with fear. He had co dangerously close to being trapped inside the Formation, but thankfully, his quickness had saved him from that fate. Although ng Zhang had successfully obtained the treasures this ti, his Soul had suffered so injuries. However, he couldn't focus on that at the mont and planned to deal with it later when he returned.
Rather than hurrying to leave, ng Zhang wanted to erase any traces of his presence here. The fact that such a Formation was set up, providing precious materials to refine the Jade Soul Fluid, indicated that the owner of the Formation not only possessed great power but also imnse wealth.
Furthermore, Twin Success Valley originally owned this mining cave, which was later abandoned and utilized by the Ghost Path cultivators. ng Zhang didn't know the role Twin Success Valley played in this and whether they had any connection with the Ghost Path cultivators. However, he didn't have the ti or interest to investigate it now.
In general, identifying a person for ordinary individuals and regular cultivators relied on their appearance, physical characteristics, voice, and so on. These features were part of the physical body and not hard to change. However, powerful cultivators had other ans of identification.
A more advanced thod was to identify each person's unique true qi characteristics. Just like how there were no two identical leaves in the world, even if individuals cultivated the sa technique in the sa environnt, their true qi would possess unique differences due to their individual constitutions. When true qi was activated, it emitted a distinct aura that made identification easier.
An even more advanced thod was to identify a person's Soul. Each person's Soul was unique, and the Soul's aura was nearly impossible to change.
ng Zhang watched the Yin Yang Reversal Formation that was currently running, the rampant underground fiend qi swirling within the Formation, and it was engulfing all the auras within, including the one left behind when he used Divine Soul Left the Body. When he entered the Formation, no one saw him. Now, he only needed to deal with the true qi auras leaked while he was killing Ghosts on his way here.
ng Zhang slowly walked back along the path he ca from. Whenever he passed places where he had taken action, he would take out a pile of talismans and randomly shoot them around. Techniques like Golden Sword Art, Earth Dragon Art, Fireball Art, and more bombarded the surroundings of the mining cave.
Fortunately, ng Zhang had prepared well in advance and purchased enough talismans from Shi Weiming in Singing Sand City. The various spells stirred the surrounding spiritual energy, completely concealing ng Zhang's true qi aura.
Moreover, these powerful techniques wreaked havoc, causing parts of the mine to collapse. The places where ng Zhang had passed were all covered by collapsed earth and rocks.
By coincidence, when ng Zhang reached a corner in one of the mining tunnels, he first used an explosion talisman on a stone wall, creating a big hole. Then, he followed up with an Earth Dragon Art that caused the ground to collapse, revealing a hidden chamber below.
Planning to leave, ng Zhang stopped and observed the situation, then jumped down into the secret chamber. Several dried corpses surrounded a stone table in the chamber, forming a circle.
On the table were three storage bags. After confirming that they were safe and without traps, ng Zhang carefully examined them. To his surprise, they were ten-fold storage bags, a relatively rare type.
While a ten-fold storage bag held ten tis the capacity of a regular one, its high price made it less cost-effective, so it was seldom used by cultivators in the Refining Qi stage.
These three storage bags were filled with various items, with the majority being White Hidden Earth Crystals. White Hidden Earth Crystals were rare companion minerals that highly condensed the essence of White Hidden Earth ore. They were encased in a hard shell, which required careful polishing to obtain the crystal inside. These White Hidden Earth Crystals varied in size, with the larger ones being bigger than an adult's fist, and the smaller ones being as small as a finger.
Unlike White Hidden Earth, which was abundant, White Hidden Earth Crystals were a more precious spiritual material. Flying Swan Sect, in particular, had always paid high prices for these crystals without any limit.
ng Zhang couldn't understand how this abandoned White Hidden Earth mine had yielded so many White Hidden Earth Crystals. If Twin Success Valley had known this, they wouldn't have abandoned the mine. If news of this got out, Flying Swan Sect might have intervened without regard for face.
This ti, when ng Zhang entered the mine, he brought eight regular storage bags, and they were all filled with nurous gains. After ensuring that these three ten-fold storage bags had no markings or hidden imprints, ng Zhang took them all with him.
Following the sa route, ng Zhang returned to the hill at the mine's entrance. By now, the talismans he brought, aside from the Earth Tunneling Talisman, were mostly consud.
ng Zhang activated the Earth Tunneling Talisman to leave the mine from the back of the hill.
At this ti, the sandstorm was still raging fiercely, and it had not dissipated yet. With the sandstorm blowing heavily, even the Red Feathered Eagles of the Zhao Family couldn't clearly observe the situation below.
The Zhao Family cultivators had to risk being discovered as they secretly approached Taiyi Sect to observe it more closely.
Luckily, everyone in Taiyi Sect was occupied with their own affairs, and no one noticed the hidden spies.
After nearly ten days, the sandstorm finally dissipated completely, and the Zhao Family cultivators resud their monitoring activities, but this ti without any disturbances.
At this point, ng Zhang, who had been in seclusion all this ti, had completely repaired his Soul's injuries.
Once his Soul was fully healed, he went to the underground chamber where the spirit vein's Spirit Eye was located beneath the Sect Master's quiet room.
It had been a while since he was here, and the chamber looked the sa as before. The Spirit Eye inside also showed no changes. The Spiritsnake Spear, which he had used last ti, was recovering its spirituality from the nourishing power of the Spirit Eye.
The human-sized gem still emitted a colorful light, and within it slept the Guardian Spirit General of Taiyi Sect from many years ago.
The remnants of these Guardian Spirit Generals, who were heavily injured, rested in the gem's inner space, gradually recovering with the help of the spirit vein's nourishing power. If not for external assistance, the recovery process would be unimaginably lengthy.
ng Zhang risked everything to seize the Jade Soul Fluid not for himself but to help these sleeping Guardian Spirit Generals.
