The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 369: Filling the warehouses

The Celestial Serpent Clan.

Not letting Jian Shen down in the slightest, the residence of the Celestial Serpent Clan was not just huge in size but also quite luxurious and grand.

In fact, just from the size of it, Jian Shen felt that all the buildings together was more than enough to house an entire city worth of people.

But what he didn't understand was that despite there being so many luxurious mansions and courtyard behind the massive walls, there were so many caves in the huge mountain that was at the centre of it all.

"Who in their right mind would want to live inside a cave and not the mansions? Is this a prison to detain the disobedient ones?"

"Fufufufufufu, of course not husband. Believe it or not, these caves are most likely the place where everyone belonging to the Celestial Serpent Clan want to live inside of."

"But...why?"

Not asking is she was joking, Jian Shen instead felt curious about the reason behind this.

"You are currently not able to sense it, but this mountain is where the Dao Vein travelling underground is the most concentrated at. In fact, not just here but most of the places where a Dao Vein is formed under the ground, they are usually inside the mountains in that area."

"Due to this, the myriad laws of Dao are all more concentrated around the mountain. This is why people if possible prefer living in the cave dwellings instead of the mansions and courtyard which are vastly inferior on the basis of the Dao accumulated around them."

Nodding his head with a look of understanding, Jian Shen suddenly asked, "Are the Dao Veins immovable after they once form, or can they be moved?"

"You want to take the Dao Vein away?"

Turning silent after Jian Shen nodded his head, Qingyu took some time to think before replying.

"It isn't impossible to take a Dao Vein away, but doing so would have an effect on how well it would perform after being replanted in comparison to how it did in the place it was naturally born in."

"This is because you have to cut all the roots which are attached to the main vein and take just the core part of the Dao Vein away."

Nodding his head once again, Jian Shen said, "No problem. Just taking one of them might not be worth it, but since we are going to take all the Dao Veins presents inside this Medium Domain... "

Not finishing his sentence Jian Shen began laughing out loud while both Qingyu and Juewang shool their head and thought that the word known as mercy didn't exist in Jian Shen's dictionary.

After all, even though he wasn't going to destroy all the buildings which were worth a fortune to vent his anger, taking the Dao Veins away was the same as turning these lands into desolate wastelands.

...

Fire Dao Vein, Wind Dao Vein, Sword Dao Vein, Metal Dao Vein, Thousand-year Yin Ginseng, Lingzhi Mushroom, Serpent Crown Fruit, Jade Volcano Flower, blood essence of various Dao Beasts, you name it, Jian Shen got it.

After raiding every single place he travelled, Jian Shen didn't just fill the warehouses inside the Wolrd Crest and in fact he ran out of place inside the warehouses to store them.

Due to this, Jian Shen boldly took a few huge buildings away with him to store all of the precious resources he had taken as 'compensation'.

It wasn't that Qingyu hadn't stored resources related to the Dao Realm inside the warehouses, but rather because of how less the quantity of them was Jian Shen could no longer afford to not seek resources and take them with him like he did in the previous two realms.

This was why after Jian Shen saw how much he obtained from plundering the various forces was filled with satisfaction.

That was until Qingyu made him realise that just this much was nothing special at all due to how low all of their quality was.

Still, this didn't disappoint Jian Shen too much since this was just his starting wealth.

And possessing such wealth at the beginning of his journey in the Dao Realm made Jian Shen more confident in his future prospects.

Like this, after spending six days visiting every place he thought might possess valuable items Jian Shen went to the one place where there was someone who daringly didn't run away under the threat of a Heavenly Dragon destroying the Ancient Rock Domain.

Holding onto a glowing red plant root-like object which wasn't much bigger than his palm, Jian Shen was walking on the ground while carelessly throwing it up and catching it.

Luckily, no one was here to see him doing such a thing due to which Jian Shen was spared from the jealousy filled curses which would have been thrown at him.

After all, that very plain and ordinary looking root was nothing other than the core part of the Fire Dao Vein which Jian Shen had taken from some kingdom he plundered.

"Can't believe that we are left with such a small thing after cutting so many roots that were connected to this."

Sharing his views with the two swords that were inside the World Crest so that he wouldn't get into unnecessary trouble, Jian Shen indeed couldn't believe that after he spent so many hours cutting the roots which grew from this he was left with such a small root.

"Don't worry, husband. Once you plant this and all the other Dao Veins you've obtained somewhere, the roots you've previously cut will once again grow from it and turn even a desolate wasteland into a heavenly land for cultivation."
