From a young medicine seller to a Taoist master

He was relatively successful. The reserves of this oil field were estimated to be over 900 tons, making it a fairly large and rich oil field.

Yingchuan's technique is very skilled and he can collect the black oil very quickly.

But even though Ying Zijian had controlled the previous fight to a small extent, this was a Nascent Soul after all, and it was no small matter, and it attracted the attention of other monsters.

Those Nascent Soul monsters did not act rashly. Having already killed the Nascent Soul, it was hard to say how strong it was. They sent out their Golden Core subordinates to investigate.

They are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. Who wants to risk their life for no reason? Let a few cannon fodders test the waters first.

With the lesson learned from the last big attack, they also became cautious. If those people scored twice, they would have no place to complain.

Ying Zijian had anticipated this and took out the Tian Jue Formation and Wu Zang Formation talismans, preventing any Nascent Soul from coming in.

As expected, under the protection of the two large formations, no monsters noticed this place.

Nearly a month passed and the oil field was almost fully mined.

Ying Zijian did not go back immediately. He planned to collect enough at one time. If he came here frequently, there would always be accidents, which was not what he wanted to see.

He took away the two formations, but this exposed his aura. Several Jindan "merman" monsters nearby noticed it and immediately rushed over.

All this was like a clown in Ying Zijian's eyes. He activated the screen array talisman and blew it up with a few punches.

All this was done very secretly, without making any noise, and his whereabouts were not exposed.

After cleaning up this place, he continued to look for oil fields.

The amount of oil in the oil field is not infinite. It is just difficult to develop now because of the monsters. One day the reserves of the oil field will be exhausted, and those big forces will complete the monopoly. They will be the only ones who have it. This is why they did not severely damage these monsters last time.

What Yingchuan did must have been an infringement of their interests. He was an invisible enemy, which was why he had to come to this remote place.

For these big forces, what they like most is monopoly, because this can provide the greatest benefits. They have a tight control over those upper-level resources, and the reason why those rare materials appear occasionally is to consolidate the class.

Unlike capital which will die one day, they are truly immortal. As long as there is information, they can cultivate strong people, and with strong people there are resources. One day, this world will completely "monopolize" the monks.

His thoughts came back to him, all this had nothing to do with him, because this was beneficial to him, and one day, he would become one of them.

The black oil reserves in this place are indeed large, and Ying Zijian found it easily.

After setting up the formation again and preparing to mine, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. He stopped what he was doing and checked carefully.

Sure enough, his perception was correct. There was a formation underneath. He was not sure whether it was set up by humans or monsters, but they all had one purpose, which was to lure the fish to the bait.

Ying Zijian was almost in trouble. He took out the Nascent Soul and searched its soul.

After the Nascent Soul stage, the soul-searching method can no longer cause any harm to the spiritual consciousness.

Yingchuan did get what he wanted to know from it. This was a formation set up by a divine monster to prevent the situation from last time. The previous ones were just baits. If it weren't for Yingchuan's high attainments in formation, he would have really been caught.

Monsters can also use formations, but they are not as good as humans at using them, which is why Ying Zijian was able to discover them.

After marking it on the drawn map, he changed his target, and after restoring this place, he continued searching.

The last major attack did teach them a profound lesson. No one has attacked them in tens of thousands of years. This is truly the first time. They are also afraid that humans will take advantage of them before they recover and attack again. This would not be a good thing.

Ying Zijian was furious. He didn't want to make any big noise as it would be a waste of time and effort.

Not long after, Ying Zijian found another large oil-rich field, but unfortunately, his luck was not very good and this was another bait.

This alone is not enough to dissuade him.

Generally speaking, formations like this are usually located outside. After all, no normal person would set up a detection formation at the door of their home.

Ying Zijian has been searching in the relatively safe periphery. If it were someone else, they would have to look inside, but it would be of no use to Ying Zijian.

With the assistance of the Earth Master, all the treasures in the world are invisible in his eyes.

He easily found another large oil field, but his luck was not very good.

But he didn't care at all. He knew what kind of formation it was and all its information.

The Tianming Formation is a relatively well-known Yuanying level detection method, but it does not have a very good reputation because it is an unstable one-time "bomb" that cannot be cracked. It is a formation specifically created to deceive people.

The best way to use it is a continuous formation, and up to nine connected formations can be arranged at one time, but this requires an extremely high level of attainment in formation. Even he can only set up five formations, and that demon clan god can only set up five formations at most.

After encountering it three times, he has figured out the pattern, and the rest is not a problem.

After calculations, he did find a large oil-rich field without the Tianming Formation.

After Ying Zijian set up the formation again, he began to collect information.

……

Unexpected things happen in life. Once a change begins to brew, a reaction may occur at any time.

Several Nascent Soul elders from major forces gathered together to discuss something.

It is such an honor that your sect can come to our pavilion, said the Yuanying elder of Yaoyue Pavilion, but he also agreed.

What are you talking about, Brother Dao? It is a real honor for your association to participate. The other elders laughed. Their goal was also achieved, and of course the performance was more vivid.

This action was exactly the second breakthrough that the monsters had been worried about. After more than 40 years of recovery, their strength had long been restored and they were able to launch a second major breakthrough.

However, unlike the last time, this time it is a matter between major forces, and independent cultivators are not qualified to participate.

This time, they will completely divide up the Shigao Sea area and complete the first step of breaking the cage.

The few of them had a pleasant conversation, but they all had hidden agendas in their words. They all had their own little thoughts and wanted to gain greater benefits. They were only of one mind on the surface, and there was no doubt that they would stab each other.

To them, allies are meant to be used to stab in the back, and they don’t care at all.

Finally they finalized the plan and scheduled it to take place a month later.

Yingchuan knew nothing about this.
