120: Family ancestral land, copper stalagmite
Chen Changsheng took the Spirit-Seeking Compass and arrived near the Jade Dragon Pool. This was the center of Jade Dragon Peak, the most suitable place to activate the Spirit-Seeking Compass.
"Searching for spirits and seeking veins, Spirit-Seeking Compass, activate!"
Chen Changsheng followed the usage instructions and activated the Spirit-Seeking Compass. The needle on it began to shake, eventually pointing towards a red dot.
"Haha, there really is a Spiritual Land on Jade Dragon Peak. Although it's only the lowest-grade Spiritual Land, it's enough for our Chen Family to Cultivate to Foundation Establishment!"
Looking at the information displayed by the Spirit-Seeking Compass, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Next, he began searching on Jade Dragon Peak according to the direction indicated by the compass needle.
After searching all the way, Chen Changsheng arrived at the back mountain area of Jade Dragon Peak. There was nothing here but snow and a waterfall.
"Eh? The needle hasn't stopped, but there's no other path here besides the mountain wall?"
Chen Changsheng looked at the compass in confusion; the needle was pointing directly at the waterfall and remained still.
Could it be the waterfall?
Chen Changsheng suddenly thought of a scene from an animation in his past life: Sun Wukong entering the Water Curtain Cave.
Perhaps there's another space behind this waterfall!
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng no longer hesitated. He used his Light Body Technique and rushed straight toward the waterfall.
"Splash!"
Passing through the waterfall, Chen Changsheng entered a dim cave.
"Haha, as expected. There really is another space behind the waterfall. It seems the Spiritual Land is right here!"
Chen Changsheng stood in the cave and looked around carefully. Although it was dim, it was quite clean. Following the direction of the Spirit-Seeking Compass needle, he walked further into the cave.
This cave was narrow at the entrance and wide inside. The entrance could only accommodate a few people passing through, but the interior was a large plaza of over a thousand square meters.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
The Spirit-Seeking Compass made a soft sound, and then the needle pointed forward and stopped moving. Chen Changsheng knew this meant the Spirit-Seeking Compass had found the Spiritual Land and was now completely spent.
"Is this the Spiritual Land?"
Chen Changsheng walked to the center of the cave plaza, where many Stalagmites were growing. In the dense cluster of Stalagmites, he found an open space, sat down cross-legged, and circulated his Cultivation Technique!
Sure enough, a powerful surge of Spiritual Qi instantly rushed into Chen Changsheng's body. Compared to the thin Spiritual Qi outside, it was more than ten times stronger!
"Great! With such a Spiritual Land, the cultivation speed of our Chen Family Cultivators will surely increase greatly!"
After sensing it for a while, Chen Changsheng stood up. He had already decided to make this his secluded cultivation spot; only the Chen Family's Cultivators would be allowed to know about it.
Of course, outsiders like Wang Meng, who were loyal to the Chen Family, also had the right to Cultivate here.
Chen Changsheng searched the cave and found no living creatures. Moreover, the entire cave plaza was covered by the Spiritual Land. Chen Changsheng had really hit the jackpot this time; he now had a place to plant Spirit Medicine in the future!
After a simple cleaning of the cave, Chen Changsheng left and headed straight for the Chen Family Courtyard House on the front of the mountain.
"Chuanwu, call all the Cultivators of our Family over. Oh, and call that kid Wang Meng too. I have something to announce!"
Returning home, Chen Changsheng happened to see Chen Chuanwu teaching his four-year-old son martial arts, so he sent Chuanwu to summon everyone.
After Chuanwu left, little Cheng An was finally free and began running all over the mountain riding Howling Heaven.
Chen Changsheng watched with a smile and didn't stop him. Childhood should be spent playing without restraint; otherwise, it would be a waste of these years.
Soon, Chuanwu, Chuanwen, Chuanjie, and Wang Meng arrived in the courtyard.
"Dad, what is it? I was just cultivating with Wang Meng!"
A look of helplessness appeared on Chuanjie's face. The feeling of being interrupted while immersed in cultivation was quite unpleasant.
"Haha, don't be reluctant. I'm taking you to a place where you'll definitely want to stay every day!"
Chen Changsheng laughed and didn't explain much, just telling them to follow him.
They soon reached the back mountain of Jade Dragon Peak. Chen Changsheng pointed at the cascading waterfall and said:
"Through the waterfall—do you dare to jump? There are good things inside!"
Chen Changsheng teased them on purpose. Chuanjie's curiosity was piqued, and he nodded quickly, saying:
"What's there to be afraid of? Let me see what good things are inside that Dad is being so mysterious about!"
Chen Chuanjie said with a smile, then used his Light Body Technique and flipped into the waterfall.
After a moment, Chuanjie's voice came from inside the waterfall.
"Big Brother, come in quickly! There's a cave here!"
Chen Changsheng laughed heartily. Seeing the confused looks from Chuanwu and the others, he didn't explain further and simply nodded:
"You'll know once you enter the waterfall!"
The group, all skilled in martial arts, used their Light Body Techniques and jumped into the waterfall one after another!
"Dad, what's so special? Isn't it just a cave?"
Chen Chuanjie was wandering around the cave entrance; he had just checked several times and found nothing unusual.
"Follow me inside!"
Chen Changsheng chuckled and led everyone deeper into the cave. The space gradually expanded, eventually revealing the plaza within the cave.
"Heh, what a large area of Stalagmites!"
Chen Chuanjie looked at the dense Stalagmites in the plaza with surprise.
"Don't mind those Stalagmites for now. First, try circulating your Cultivation Techniques here!"
Chen Changsheng chuckled and had everyone start their techniques. Soon, several of them entered a state of cultivation.
"How can there be so much Spiritual Qi here!"
"Ah, this Spiritual Qi is simply too abundant!"
After briefly circulating their techniques and feeling the rich Spiritual Qi of this place, they all opened their eyes with looks of disbelief.
"Of course the Spiritual Qi is abundant; this is a Spiritual Land!"
Chen Changsheng said with a smile. Chuanjie and the others immediately cried out in surprise. They all knew the value of a Spiritual Land. After all, in the entire Longwei County, only the County Magistrate at the Late Qi Refining Stage possessed a Spiritual Land, and it was only the size of a single room!
"Dad, does anyone else know about this?"
Hearing this, Chuanjie immediately frowned. The Chen Family already had the Gu God Cult as a major enemy nearby. If news of a Spiritual Land got out and attracted everyone's greed, it might be a curse rather than a blessing!
"No one knows. From now on, this place will be a Family secret, known only to those who Cultivate immortality!"
Chen Changsheng told them his decision, and everyone finally felt at ease.
"Dad, we'll clear out these Stalagmites and just Cultivate here from now on!"
Chuanjie said with joy. With the Spiritual Land, his cultivation would be faster, and he estimated he wasn't far from the Mid-stage Qi Refining!
"Alright, let's do as Chuanjie says. Clear the stalagmites; everyone will Cultivate here in the future!"
Chen Changsheng nodded. Everyone became excited and started clearing the Stalagmites with great energy.
"Crack!"
Chuanwu struck hard with his blade, but the Stalagmite didn't break; instead, his blade snapped!
"Eh?"
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Chuanwu was at the Qi Refining Second Layer and also at the Innate stage; how could he fail to break a Stalagmite with one strike?
Chen Changsheng immediately realized that these Stalagmites were not simple!
