Chapter 72: A Bunch of Broken Toys

The large spirit stone behind the carp was glossy and smooth as silk, just like jadeite . And on the stone walls, spirit stones began to form, with the source being that large spirit stone . Chen Ming found knew a lot about the Spirit Vein from the Astral Immortal Sect . That spirit stone was the Spirit Vein, and this little moe guy should be the spirit born of this Spirit Vein .

Of this spirit, they had many names . For example River Soul, Mountain Ghost, Drought Demon and so on . The one before him should be a River Soul .

Only when it produced a spirit, was it considered a Spirit Vein .

Without a question, the little guy was a spirit and the large stone the Spirit Vein .

It was good he brought Ling Xian along, and now he could pick up a Spirit Vein . Vermilion Bird was also a Drought Demon, but Chen Ming still didn’t dare to go for its Spirit Vein .

The little guy before him, on the other hand, he could collect . The method to make the Spirit Vein recognize a master was simple, just draw a spirit pact on its forehead . This was a sinch for an array master like Chen Ming .

Chen Ming released his spiritual power and brought the little carp over, then drew a spirit pact which entered its body . The next time it looked at Chen Ming, it was no longer scared and angry, just bewildered, How come I feel close to this pedophile?

Chen Ming took out a dried fish from his ring and threw it before it . The carp used the water spiritual energy to bring the fish to his mouth and began chewing it .

What a cheater!

Chen Ming showed his happiness, “I’ll be taking you to an enjoyable place, much better than here . It has green hills and clear waters, and many fishes to eat too! ”

Little carp still had the taste of the fish in his mouth . Since he was born he has always stayed here, and now that he tasted dried fish, it became curious about the outside world .

Little carp nodded, then slouched on his shoulder .

Chen Ming retrieved the Spirit Vein with a wave of his hand, and then the rest of the spirit stones .

Little carp was feeling curious at the disappearance of his home, along with some fear . Chen Ming petted it, “I’m just taking your home to where we are going . ”

Little carp relaxed .

Chen Ming asked, “Do you have any companions around here? I would like to bring them along to this great place . ”

Little carp hesitated, its heart conflicted, but it still brought Chen Ming to another stone room . What Chen Ming could sense from here was fire spiritual energy, Could this place have a second Spirit Vein?

Chen Ming entered as the little carp spat water like crazy, he didn’t like this place . Chen Ming could see a fiery-red spirit stone and a cocoon, its soon to be born spirit .

Chen Ming knew that it was hard for Spirit Vein to form . Why there were two here was because this ancient sect had two incredible areas, where fire spiritual energy and water spiritual energy amassed in each region . After countless years, the two little guys were formed, the incompatible fire and water . Then they fought each other, and because the little carp was born first, it put pressure on the Fire Spirit Vein so that it delayed it from becoming a true vein .

The world was boundless, filled with marvels and oddities . Chen Ming collected the fiery-red spirit stone then left along with the two little guys, Later, I’ll be helping Fire Spirit Vein’s little guy, to speed up its birth .

As Chen Ming along with the little carp stood outside the sect, he looked around . There was nothing left, or whatever had been had long rotten or wasted away along these countless years .

When Ling Xian’s eyes landed on the little carp, Master went to inspect it and returned with a spirit . Did that mean Master found a Spirit Vein?

“Congratulations on finding a Spirit Vein, Master . ”

In front of disciples, Chen Ming would undoubtedly fake aloofness and wisdom, “Just a Spirit Vein, is there a reason for alarm?”

Ling Xian said, “Disciple is only happy, I’m sure that for Master, they are just a drop in the ocean . ”

He knew of its importance by the time he arrived, along with the little carp, at Yan Mountain . This was something only a Grand Archfiend or a Grand Sovereign could posses . He had to make sure no one else found about them . He’ll just keep his mouth shut about the great fortune .

Chen Ming convened with his three disciple – Zhuo Qingyao was still comprehending the Dao – and the bear brothers, in preparation for establishing a sect .

Chen Ming took his seat, with the little carp on his shoulder doing his best in chewing a dried fish . Chen Ming began, “Your Master has been here just a few months, and I already have four personal disciples . It isn’t enough, therefore I have decided to open Yan Mountain and establish a sect to recruit disciples from all around . ”

Since it was just about recruiting disciples, the three had no objections . It was only recruiting, it wouldn’t affect their positions . These disciples were the core of a sect, while the personal disciples were high above them .

Moreover, these disciples could only listen to Chen Ming’s sermon and not ask him for help in their cultivation .

Other sects’ personal disciples had it worse, but Yan Mountain was different since Master didn’t like managing things . For example, in an important place like Yan Mountain, a personal disciple could enter the medicine field as he wished . When Li Suyi was caught pilfering it of spiritual fruits, Ling Xian made sure to give him hell three times!

Other areas were even worse . If Master didn’t say then they could go anywhere and do anything, as long as they asked senior sister first .

But Zhuo Qingyao was in seclusion, and now Ling Xian was in charge .

Disciples, meh, whatever . They could only seldom listen to Master’s sermon anyway . But rewards and punishments weren’t something personal disciples were in charge of .

Ling Xian said, “I wonder how many would Master like to recruit to expand Yan Mountain’s strength?”

Chen Ming did some thinking, “Six hundred . But three hundred of them will have to train in a water attribute cultivation method while the other three hundred in a fire attribute cultivation method . ”

The three hesitated, making Chen Ming furrow his brows, “What’s wrong?”

Too many? I think that six hundred are enough, any more and I won’t be able to train them!

Ling Xian said, “Master, aren’t they too little? The way I see it, a glorious figure like Master should receive thirty thousand . ”

Li Suyi agreed, “Yeah, with how esteemed Master is, sixty thousand aren’t bad!”

Chen Lingyu said, “How about a million!”

Chen Ming: …

F*ck, they’re all a bunch of broken toys!

Just taking care of you, broken toys, is causing me enough grief as it is . Are you trying to work this poor old man to death by having a million disciples!?

Chen Ming coughed twice, “Your Master doesn’t need that many . ”
