Chapter 2247: Chapter 1941: Master of the Villa (Part 2)

Seeing this, Song Yun frowned and quickly helped Chen Mengjie wipe her eyes, saying sternly: "Who bullied my Mengjie? I’ll kill them!"

"You!"

Chen Mengjie pointed at Song Yun, with tears in her voice and a pout on her lips.

"Me?" Song Yun looked bewildered and innocent, "Mengjie, I didn’t bully you. What’s going on?"

Chen Mengjie bit her lip, paused, and said, "Actually... it’s not your fault. It’s just that I feel you have too many girls around you and no time for me, which makes me feel a bit down. Don’t blame yourself; this is my own choice."

"Uh..."

Song Yun scratched his head, realizing that not having time for Chen Mengjie was indeed a tough problem to solve.

While he was thinking, Chen Mengjie clenched her fist, looking serious, and said, "I’ve made up my mind. To spend more time with you, I must work hard in cultivation and become as strong as you. That way, when you take on dangerous tasks, I can go with you, and we can be together more often."

"That’s a good idea." Song Yun nodded, raised his eyebrows toward his room, and mischievously said, "Mengjie, how about I spend some quality time with you now?"

Chen Mengjie leaped off Song Yun’s lap and ran out of the pavilion, laughing: "Haha, I don’t want to."

In the distant Western Border Gobi, in the uninhabited area of Hetian, was the place Song Yun had recently left.

After dealing with Yang Ze, Han Fei, and Zhou Dong, Tu Ling planned to set up equipment for jade mining soon, leaving the area unguarded these past few days.

At that moment, strong winds howled and sand swirled.

A young man dressed in a black suit strolled through the Gobi, heading to Tu Ling’s Hetian Jade Mine.

He yanked at his tie, wrinkling his scarred brow, muttering, "People outside have really gone crazy, tying this thing around their necks, it’s so uncomfortable."

He pulled off the tie and tossed it away casually, which drifted further away in the strong wind.

"It seems the elder was right to have me keep an eye on Yang Ze; he’s been here for so long, he must be digging up something valuable."

The young man punched and broke the hidden entrance of the mine, revealing the elevator.

The rumbling sound echoed, and seven or eight Jeep Wranglers appeared behind the man.

A group of people got off the Wranglers, and their leader yelled: "Stay away from there, cursed land, it will take your life."

"Looks like Yang Ze previously killed many people, this place has been labeled a cursed land."

The young man shook his head, his figure moved as he charged toward the direction of the Wrangler convoy.

A minute later, twenty-seven bodies lay on the Gobi, the sand flying, gradually burying their corporeal forms.

The young man, covered in blood, didn’t look back and descended into the mine with the elevator.

Three hours later, the young man returned to the surface, his expression somewhat grave.

"Yang Ze, Han Fei, Zhou Dong, all killed by someone. Judging by the methods, it must be at least Foundation Establishment Peak or Enlightenment Realm."

"With such power, it must be someone from another spiritual land, but who could it be?"

"Yang Ze spent decades seeking treasure, that treasure is definitely no ordinary item."

"This matter must be reported to the Elder Council, clear up this case. Even if others from spiritual lands killed Yang Ze, revenge aside, the treasure must be reclaimed."

Thinking this, the young man got into one of the Jeep Wranglers and drove away from the mine.

The sandstorm intensified, covering the bodies and vehicles with a layer of dust.

This place was desolate and uninhabited, perhaps only when Tu Ling starts mining Nephrite Jade will the situation be discovered.

...

Within Azure Dragon Villa, everything returned to tranquility; everyone entered a state of cultivation, unwilling to be left far behind by Song Yun.

The Nine Stars hoped to create glory with Song Yun.

And Song Yun’s women shared thoughts similar to Chen Mengjie, not wanting to fall too far behind and become people of two different worlds.

Song Yun was happy to see such a state.

That day, he counted his possessions.

First item, Ten Thousand Demon Order.

This was a treasure, though the demon essence inside was very afraid of Song Yun, and he didn’t know how to extract it.

Second item, Black Light Severing Sword.

Though it was a damaged Spiritual Artifact, its power far exceeded that of a Magic Artifact. Song Yun now advanced to Early-stage Foundation Establishment, still unable to fully utilize its power, only upon advancing to Enlightenment Realm could he unleash the Spiritual Artifact’s might.

Third item, Spirit Stone.

Though this was an inferior spirit stone, it was still a spirit stone; the spiritual energy contained within could accelerate cultivation speed by twofold. Moreover, its size was substantial, and Song Yun calculated that it could be used up till Enlightenment Realm.

After organizing his belongings, Song Yun realized these three items were extremely rare and precious treasures on Earth, any one of them could spark a fight.

Even people from spiritual lands would want them.

"If only I had a storage ring to hide these things."

Song Yun thought of the "Yin Xi’s Manual" which recorded the storage ring.

The storage ring had an independent space, able to store items, not only convenient to carry but also invisible to others.

However, a storage ring was an extremely high-grade item; even an Artifact Refiner who could condense Dan Fire, needed to be very skilled to craft one.

"To condense Dan Fire, at least Core Formation Realm is necessary. High-level Artifact Refiners or Alchemists must be beyond Core Formation Realm. Earth currently has no cultivators above Core Formation Realm, so nobody can craft storage rings. Unless, one could obtain ancient heritage containing a storage ring."

Song Yun shook his head; if there were inherited storage rings, they would surely have been looted by people from spiritual lands.

"Oh Master Yin Xi, why didn’t you leave me even one storage ring?"

Song Yun recalled Master Yin Xi, such an unrivaled powerhouse, who could create Yin Xi’s Manual to integrate with his brain, surely crafting a storage ring would be a breeze.

But Master Yin Xi didn’t leave behind a storage ring.

Song Yun thought, if Master Yin Xi had indeed left a storage ring, the items inside would undoubtedly be peerless treasures.

Of course, such things could only be imagined.

Putting aside thoughts of "storage rings," Song Yun safely stored the Ten Thousand Demon Order, Black Light Severing Sword, and Spirit Stone, then took out the jade plates cut last time.

He didn’t rush into cultivation; he planned to set up the Spirit Gathering Array first, then practice the "Nine Revolutions Star Technique."

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife doesn’t delay chopping wood; with the Spirit Gathering Array, spiritual energy would convene, speeding up cultivation, hence he didn’t hurry.

Setting up the Spirit Gathering Array required a total of thirty-six array plates; Song Yun had only crafted two, still thirty-four short.

However, after advancing his Foundation Establishment, his control over True Qi improved significantly, greatly increasing the success rate of crafting array plates.

Half a month later, as the jade was about to run out, he finally made thirty-six array plates.

He placed the thirty-six array plates in the positions of the array base within Azure Dragon Villa, embedding them underground.

Finally, he recited the spells, True Qi guided, successfully activating the Spirit Gathering Array.

At the moment the Spirit Gathering Array activated, Song Yun distinctly felt the spiritual energy density within Azure Dragon Villa at least doubled.

Song Yun couldn’t help but marvel: "Truly a real array; it’s far superior to the Small Gathering Spirit Array or Fengshui Formation."

Suddenly, he thought of the Nine Dragon Gathering Spirit Array, Dual Spirit Gathering Array, and other more powerful gathering arrays, regrettably, those arrays had high requirements, not only needing genuine spirit stones for crafting array plates, but also high-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, the crucial reason was, even with high-grade spirit stones, Song Yun as a half-baked Array Master couldn’t craft array plates or set up arrays.

Yet, upon reflection, on Earth, this Spirit Gathering Array was quite remarkable.

Song Yun couldn’t help but wonder: "I wonder how the spiritual energy density here compares to that of spiritual lands?"
