Chapter 349: Chapter 349: The Secret of the Small Valley

of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, near Qingshan Town.
A mysterious, verdant valley filled with spiritual energy.
This was a place where the energy of heaven and earth was exceptionally rich.
Viewed from above, the valley resembled a natural basin, surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs—so steep that not even monkeys could scale them, and birds would find it difficult to fly across.
Hovering in midair, Wei Yang gazed down at the land below, quietly sensing the unique concentration of energy in the area. A thoughtful gleam flickered in his eyes.
Back then, even during his first visit, he had been puzzled by how abundant the spiritual energy here was.
He and Xian’er had once lived here for quite some time. Yet even after all that, they hadn’t discovered anything particularly unusual about the place.
Aside from the dense spiritual energy and the flourishing medicinal herbs, there didn’t seem to be anything extraordinary at all.
Now that he had returned, his strength was far beyond what it had been in the past. That alone was enough to spark a renewed curiosity and desire to dig deeper.
With a shift of his foot, Wei Yang slowly descended from the sky and landed within the valley.
As his feet touched the soft grass, a familiar sensation welled up inside him.
The thick energy swirling in the valley made him unconsciously take a deep breath. Instantly, a wave of refreshment coursed through him, invigorating his entire body.
He felt a comfort with every breath, as though even his pores were soaking in the vitality of the air.
His eyes swept slowly across the misty valley, where threads of energy floated gently like fog. The mist rose into the air above the valley, forming a thick veil that concealed the entire area from the outside world, as if it were completely sealed off.
"What an extraordinary place," Wei Yang murmured inwardly.
Looking around, he could see countless rare medicinal herbs growing vigorously throughout the valley. The thick herbal fragrance mixed with the mist, filling the air with a refreshing scent that made one’s heart feel clear and calm with every breath.
Wei Yang slowly closed his eyes. At the center of his forehead, a vast and powerful wave of soul power surged outward, causing his robes and long hair to flutter without wind.
As the soul power swept across the valley, it quickly scoured the entire area—but, unsurprisingly, found nothing out of the ordinary.
Then, Wei Yang shifted the focus of his soul power downward, probing into the ground beneath his feet.
He had realized something—this unusually dense energy wasn’t just appearing out of nowhere.
No, it was coming from beneath the earth.
Thin streams of energy mist, like vapor, were emerging from the soil. They seeped through the gaps between grass blades and slowly drifted upward, eventually gathering to form the mist covering the valley.
It was obvious: for energy this rich to be continuously pouring out over the years, there had to be a source—something deep underground.
And now, Wei Yang was determined to find that source.
His soul power continued diving deeper into the earth, tracing the flow of energy straight to its origin.
As he probed further, he noticed that the concentration of energy was increasing the deeper he went.
That only confirmed he was heading in the right direction.
To his surprise, the soil below was incredibly fertile.
With every inch he sensed, he found that the soil—after being saturated with energy over countless years—had already reached the standard of top-tier medicinal soil. In fact, in some places, it even surpassed that benchmark.
Without a doubt, this kind of soil was perfect for cultivating medicinal herbs, suitable for growing almost all types of standard plants.
Of course, rare herbs that required extremely specific and harsh environments would still need more tailored conditions.
As his soul perception continued to explore, Wei Yang couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
This wasn’t just a mysterious little valley.
This environment... you could practically call it a miniature natural medicinal realm!
And it was completely natural. Untouched. Wild.
In the great clans of ancient times, or among powers like the Pill Tower, there were always specially cultivated medicine realms or elite medicinal fields.
But those places had been painstakingly developed—either carved out from the land or transplanted from other areas, and refined over generations to reach their current quality.
Yet now, right beneath Wei Yang’s feet, this seemingly ordinary valley held soil that, if dug out, could form an extremely fertile medicinal field—one composed entirely of the finest top-grade medicinal soil.
This discovery was not only surprising—but a cause for genuine excitement.
As Wei Yang’s soul power continued to dive deeper, the detection depth had already reached over 300 meters.
Still, he kept going.
400 meters.
500 meters.
600 meters...
When it reached roughly over 800 meters deep—
Pop—
It was as if an invisible layer had been pierced through with a silent pop.
Suddenly, Wei Yang froze in place.
Because he had seen—a vast sea of energy.
Yes. A sea!
An endless green sea.
And every single drop of that "sea water" was so dense with energy that it was almost terrifying. Each drop overflowed with a rich, boundless life force.
Wei Yang’s spiritual perception felt as if it had plunged into an immense ocean of green—a sea entirely composed of pure Wood-attribute energy.
The vastness of it left him utterly shocked and speechless.
This was a sensation he had never experienced before.
Just imagine—an ocean formed entirely from actual liquid energy. That concept alone was already astonishing beyond words.
...
Wei Yang’s soul power drifted freely through it, wrapped in the boundless vitality of the Wood element. It was like being submerged in the Fountain of Life. His entire soul felt like it was being cleansed and elevated—almost... transcending.
The life force here was frighteningly strong.
If someone entered this place severely injured, they wouldn’t even need to take healing pills—just soaking in this energy sea alone would rapidly heal them.
Even now, with only his soul power immersed in this place, Wei Yang could vaguely sense that his soul power was slowly strengthening.
Although the increase was incredibly subtle and slow, it was definitely happening.
And one had to understand—at Wei Yang’s level, already in the mid-stage Spirit Realm, even the tiniest increase was astonishing. That this place could still improve him... spoke volumes.
"If Yao Lao’s soul body could soak in this place, he might recover at an incredible pace. He might even return to his peak Spirit Realm state..." Wei Yang’s tightly shut eyes fluttered slightly as that thought crossed his mind.
But the next moment, he immediately pushed that idea away.
Humans are selfish by nature.
When encountering such a miraculous opportunity, the first instinct of most people would be to keep it for themselves, not to share it selflessly.
And right now, Wei Yang was no exception.
At least—not before he fully understood this place—he had no intention of telling anyone about this secret.
...
His soul power lingered within this boundless sea of vitality for a long time before Wei Yang finally came back to himself.
He then began sweeping his soul power outward, probing in all directions.
He wanted to see whether this ocean of life energy was truly endless.
But soon, he felt a hint of disappointment.
Just as his perception was about to reach its limit, he faintly sensed the boundary of the sea.
Clearly, this energy sea wasn’t actually infinite.
In fact, calling it a "Life Spirit Lake" might be more accurate.
Its total area spanned roughly ten li in diameter.
As for its depth, that was still unclear.
So, Wei Yang pulled his soul power back from its wide sweep and condensed it into a single thread, directing it downward—probing the lakebed.
Ten meters. Twenty. Fifty. Eighty. One hundred...
At around 180 meters deep, he finally touched the bottom.
At that moment, the approximate shape of the entire lake began to form clearly in Wei Yang’s mind.
It was a massive underground energy lake—about ten li wide and 180 meters deep!
The moment he confirmed those numbers, Wei Yang was completely stunned.
Because this wasn’t just any ordinary lake.
It was a true lake formed entirely of liquefied Wood-attribute energy—so dense and pure that it had physically condensed into a liquid state!
And every drop of water in this lake contained a terrifying amount of energy.
The total energy within the lake—if measured—would be an astronomical amount.
And more than that—it was all Wood element energy.
The vitality it held... was simply overwhelming.
