Chapter 223: Training Ground
“Why do you care so much? It’s not like I dug up your family’s ancestral grave…”
Ling Mo’s face darkened. This time, he really wasn’t going to do grave robbery.
Although he had done many immoral things before, this time it definitely wasn’t that.
That Underground Abyss wasn’t a tomb to begin with; it was just a cage imprisoning the Suanni.
“Hehe, I was just saying it casually! By the way, is grave robbery really that profitable?”
Even Dugu Bo was starting to doubt it. Seeing Ling Mo bring back so many strange things every day made him want to grab a shovel and see if there were any treasures.
Ghost Gate, Ghost Gate—those disciples from Yanluo Hall specialized in learning some grave robbery techniques, and he knew that.
However, he had never personally gone digging, so he didn’t know the fun of grave robbery.
“There are still a few days left! Perfect, use these few days to properly sort out the sect’s atmosphere issues.
I’ll leave this matter to you! I’m going to the Back Mountain to research the uses of these Soul Stones…”
After giving instructions, Ling Mo left the Star Picking Tower first and arrived at the Back Mountain.
He found a secluded gorge where the lake water was clear and the scenery was excellent.
Hot springs boiled in the lake, and flowers bloomed by the lakeside, giving people the feeling of being in a fairyland.
“This place will do!”
After selecting the best place, Ling Mo began considering how to use these Soul Stones to craft a practical Training Ground.
The Three Lives Scripture recorded all kinds of immortal spell secrets, but many things Ling Mo had not truly comprehended yet and needed to research carefully.
Closing his eyes to rest his mind, Ling Mo entered a meditation state. In less than a moment, light began to gather on his body, light with six colors.
Under the dazzling light, the entire lakeside was illuminated, and even the flowers in the gorge received nourishment.
This state lasted a day and a night. When Ling Mo woke up again, the flowers around him had already grown to half a meter tall.
This change also left Ling Mo inwardly shocked beyond measure!
“Now, I have Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and several other stones in hand!
Combined with the Soul Stones I have, I can craft specialized attribute Training Grounds, also known as mimetic Training Grounds.
However… this mimicry is not that mimicry. In terms of effect, the difference here is huge. Let’s test the effect first…”
After thinking for a long time, Ling Mo took out thousands of Water Stones from the Small Tower.
With a gentle lift of his hand, these Water Stones suddenly rose into the air and fell into various corners of the gorge.
Suddenly… the air here began to condense, filled with a great amount of water vapor.
Mist covered the gorge, making it appear very hazy.
Surrounding the small lake, it formed a vast Domain Training Ground. After Soul Power Injection from the Soul Stones, it fully took shape.
Cultivating in the Training Ground would absolutely double the results with half the effort, especially for refining elements, providing great help.
After successfully creating the Water Attribute Training Ground, Ling Mo set up seven more Training Grounds in nearby areas.
Respectively for Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth, Thunder, Wind, and a Spiritual Power Training Ground, plus the already formed Water Attribute one, totaling eight.
The One Domain Eight Wastelands Formation officially took shape. The moment the formation formed, dark clouds covered the skies above Ghost Gate, bringing rolling Heavenly Thunder.
This series of anomalies made everyone in Ghost Gate anxious.
“What happened?”
“It’s from the Back Mountain direction. What exactly is it that’s causing such changes in heaven and earth…”
In an instant, more and more people began heading toward the Back Mountain, eager to see what had happened.
Among them, the fastest to arrive were the disciples from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion in the Back Mountain, followed by the disciples from Hidden Blade Valley. Hidden Blade Valley was the department for crafting Hidden Weapons.
Then came the disciples from Yanluo Hall, and even some from North Mountain, though only those with clear consciousness and normal female disciples came.
“Oh my god! What is this situation…”
Entering the Back Mountain, everyone was stunned by the scene before them. They saw bursts of light flashing in the hazy mist.
Sometimes thunder flashed, sometimes firelight blazed, sometimes wind and rain raged, sometimes silence reigned.
One tree withered while ten thousand trees flourished; in the fairyland, everyone felt the Soul Power in their bodies begin to boil.
Dugu Bo also came here and was shocked by this heaven-shaking anomaly.
He thought to himself, what had Ling Mo done again to cause such a big commotion.
“Oh my god, I broke through…”
“Me too! What’s going on…”
As constant noisy voices spread, one surprised voice after another came, making the entire Back Mountain increasingly lively. Except for the disciples from North Mountain, all other disciples had arrived.
Hidden in the mist, when Ling Mo woke up again and saw this vast crowd, he smiled without speaking.
Then his gaze fell on this formation, extremely satisfied.
“Sect Master! This…”
Dugu Bo walked over, looking at the lakeside before him with a face full of surprise, his heart extremely astonished.
From the lakeside onward, there were seven areas, plus the lakeside making eight areas, each with various attribute riots.
How had Ling Mo achieved this? It was simply the perfect Training Ground, as if naturally formed.
“This formation is called… Eight Wastelands Training Ground! It features Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder—seven attributes, plus an additional Spiritual Power Training Ground.
This is a formation I specially researched, combining various attribute Crystals with Soul Stones to create the Training Ground.
Starting today, Ghost Gate disciples can choose to enter the Training Grounds for cultivation on their own.
Based on various attribute characteristics, enter the specialized Training Grounds for cultivation.
If it’s a Support Soul Master, they can enter the mental Training Ground for cultivation.”
Ling Mo explained, glanced at the people outside, stepped forward and continued loudly: “Starting today, the Back Mountain Training Ground is officially open to everyone. Cultivation time will be determined by merit!
Seven days as the limit—if there is no merit within seven days, entry to the Training Ground will be forbidden.
Later, Elder Dugu will explain to everyone how to obtain merit.
As for today, you can first adapt to the cultivation environment of the Training Ground. Starting tomorrow, the merit system will be implemented.
Let me say this first: the Back Mountain has its own rules. Anyone causing trouble in the Training Ground will be banned for life from the Back Mountain Forbidden Area…”
The so-called merit system was just a reward system set up by Ling Mo.
Among these people, most were freeloaders who only ate without working.
Therefore, Ling Mo couldn’t let them off easy; he had to make them contribute something, or else bringing them back would be useless.
If you want to get, you must first achieve. Ling Mo believed no one could remain indifferent to the Training Ground.
This cultivation environment could already rival the Cold Jade Bed, and since it was a specialized attribute Training Ground, it was simply too heaven-defying.
Ling Mo believed that after today, these people would go crazy making contributions to the sect, not daring to slack off, afraid that slacking for a day would leave them behind others.
After hearing this, everyone surged into the Training Ground like mad, unwilling to waste even a second, and began cultivating.
“Sect Master, sometimes I’m really curious—what’s in your head? This… is simply too unbelievable…”
Looking at the Training Ground on this mountainside, Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.
It was simply a divine skill like supernatural workmanship.
