The situation in this sweet water well seems to be a Flood Spirit.
The so-called Flood Spirit refers to a phenomenon where a large amount of spiritual energy emerges from the underground due to changes and movements in the earth's veins and movements below the ground. Generally, after the appearance of a Flood Spirit in an area, new spiritual nodes will emerge. If there are enough spiritual nodes, it may even form a completely new spirit vein.
The vast amount of spiritual energy surging from the underground prevented Meng Zhang from diving deeper. He could only stay at his current position and use the Deception Breaking Eye to roughly observe the situation below.
The dense spiritual energy emanating from the underground made it difficult for the Deception Breaking Eye to see clearly.
After some time had passed and when the power of the Earth Escape Talisman was about to run out, Meng Zhang returned to the bottom of the well and then surfaced again. Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Meng Zhang said, "Allow me to take another look and confirm everything."
Meng Zhang jumped into another sweet water well, dived into the bottom, activated the Earth Escape Talisman, and once again entered the underground. After observing for a while, he obtained the same results.
When Meng Zhang returned to the surface this time, Tian Zhen had finished handling his affairs and arrived at the scene as well. Meng Zhang gathered everyone present and said in a low voice, "Don't make a commotion, let alone leak this information outside. The bottom of the well should be a Flood Spirit."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were not disappointed, but instead filled with excitement. The significance of a Flood Spirit was clear to all.
The emergence of several new spiritual nodes, or even a new spirit vein, was a tremendous stroke of good fortune. Even with thousands of high-grade spirit stones, it would be difficult to purchase a low-level spirit vein.
The reason these senior disciples had left Taiyi Sect early and returned to Sweetwater Oasis was that, apart from their advanced age and the hopelessness of their path, they also wanted to relieve the pressure on Taiyi Sect's main spirit vein.
In Sweetwater Oasis, they had been struggling due to the lack of spiritual energy. It was even challenging to maintain their previous cultivation bases.
Now, with the appearance of the Sweetwater Oasis Flood Spirit, an ample supply of spiritual energy would nourish their bodies. Not only could they maintain their cultivation bases, but their lifespans would also be extended.
Seeing the joyous crowd, Meng Zhang was equally delighted.
Taiyi Sect had gone through numerous hardships, especially after the passing of the previous Sect Master, Daoist Profound Spirit. The sect's fortunes had plummeted. However, since Meng Zhang took over as the Sect Master, Taiyi Sect had started to recover, and good things kept happening.
In his heart, Meng Zhang couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that I, as a transmigrator, am the legendary protagonist of this world, the son of destiny?"
"May I ask, Sect Master, after this Flood Spirit, how many new spiritual nodes will appear in Sweetwater Oasis? Will a new spirit vein emerge?"
Everyone began asking a series of questions.
"I can give a rough estimate after I explore the last sweet water well," Meng Zhang replied, then jumped into the third sweet water well.
As soon as he reached the bottom, Meng Zhang felt something new. In this well, there was an extremely rich and pure earth attribute spiritual energy, fiercely rejecting other types of spiritual energy.
In a spirit vein, although most of the spiritual energy was of a certain attribute, there would still be small amounts of other attributes mixed in. In the area recently affected by the Flood Spirit, the attributes of the spiritual energy should be more mixed.
The presence of such pure and abundant earth attribute spiritual energy indicated the likelihood of a earth attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object being present here.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhang's heart surged with excitement. He activated the Earth Escape Talisman and began to move deeper underground.
However, the earth attribute spiritual energy ahead was so dense that even with the power of the Earth Escape Talisman, Meng Zhang found it difficult to make progress. It was as if his body was trapped in a thick glue, making it nearly impossible to move.
Meng Zhang almost exhausted all the Earth Escape Talismans he had on him, slowly maneuvering to the side of the glowing mass. With all the strength he had left, he managed to bring the mass into his hands.
Taking a moment to recover his true qi, Meng Zhang carefully examined the glowing mass. "This is Fifth Earth Essence," he quickly identified the object with his knowledge. The Fifth Earth Essence was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object of the earth attribute, usually formed deep underground. However, this time, it appeared near the surface, probably due to changes and movements in the earth's veins. In terms of grade, it was considered a yellow-level Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object. Despite being relatively low-level, if it were to appear outside, it would still attract fierce competition from Foundation Building cultivators.
In the Endless Sea of Sand, where cultivation resources were scarce, even objects without grades were not common.
To store various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, special tools or techniques were required.
Fortunately, Meng Zhang had acquired knowledge of these matters from the inheritance he obtained in the Trial Ground.
Since he hadn't prepared special tools in advance, he temporarily used true qi to seal the Fifth Earth Essence and then put it into his storage bag.
After dealing with this, Meng Zhang remembered his original purpose for diving into the well. He activated the Deception Breaking Eye to explore the underground and observe the surrounding environment.
After observing three different wells, Meng Zhang gained a rough understanding of the scale of this Flood Spirit.
Once everything was settled, Meng Zhang returned to the surface. However, he kept the information about the Fifth Earth Essence to himself, not out of selfishness or distrust, but to protect everyone and Taiyi Sect. If news of the Fifth Earth Essence leaked out, it could attract the covetous gaze of Foundation Building cultivators, which Taiyi Sect, with its current strength, would find difficult to contend with.
Meng Zhang kept his acquisition of the Fifth Earth Essence a secret, not just for everyone's safety but also to safeguard Taiyi Sect.
"Sect Master, how large is the scale of this Flood Spirit?"
"Sect Master, will Sweetwater Oasis really have a new spirit vein?"
Everyone asked with excitement, and no one could maintain their calm when their own interests were at stake.
