Yang Zhenshan faces the immense cost of deploying the Spirit Source Land's extensive defenses. To fund the upcoming war and secure territory, he orders Ziwei Tower to find new Spirit Stone mines. Meanwhile, Yang Chengmao meticulously reviews mining proposals, selecting sites that minimize impact on existing plans. The Spirit Source Land mobilizes with incredible efficiency, preparing for battle by stockpiling arrows, elixirs, and provisions, highlighting the crucial role of logistics in the impending conflict.

Moments later, someone came to the entrance of the study, and Ding Desheng immediately went out. After whispering a few words to him, he returned to the study.

Seeing Yang Chengmao still busy, he didn’t interrupt but waited until Yang Chengmao looked up before saying, "Master, the Divine General Department responded that they need a large quantity of Yin Spring Brew, which can help them restore mana!"

Brewing has always been the specialty industry of Spirit Source Land. Over the years, Spirit Source Land has brewed hundreds of different types of wine, each with its unique effects.

In many cases, these Spiritual Wines can substitute for Elixirs.

In foreign trade, Spirit Source Land’s Spiritual Wines are a primary product, whether it be with the Hengshan Sect or businesses elsewhere; Spiritual Wine is always on sale.

Most importantly, Spirit Source Land has a vast cellar of Spiritual Wines, from the initial Hundred Fruit Brew and Drunken Immortal Brew to the present Yin Spring Brew, Yang Spring Brew, Qingxuan Brew, and so forth.

Yin Spring Brew has the effect of nurturing the Divine Soul, and cultivators who drink it can nurture their Divine Soul. Yin Soul Divine Generals can restore mana and enhance cultivation through it.

Qingxuan Brew is brewed using Qingxuan Spirit Fruit as the primary ingredient; it aids cultivators in Foundation Establishment, helping in better digesting Foundation Establishment Pills during the process.

Yang Chengmao took out the written request submitted by the Divine General Department and signed it, "Let the reserve warehouse allocate it for them!"

Be it Elixirs or liquor, they are all resources. With the impending war, Yang Chengmao naturally wouldn’t be stingy; as long as the frontline troops need them, he would provide them wholeheartedly.

At this moment, the reserve warehouse was bustling with activity. Within the massive mountain cavity, one sealed array and stone door after another were opened, and a vast amount of resources were brought out from the warehouse. Hundreds of Martial Artists moved like ants, transporting crates marked with talismans out of the reserve warehouse.

In the spacious square in front of the reserve warehouse, more than a dozen Flame Sun Flying Boats were parked. A large amount of supplies were loaded onto the flying boats; as one was filled, it would start and head to the Transmission Hall of Jade City.

The reserve warehouse of Spirit Source Land is very large, having emptied out the interiors of more than a dozen mountains, with over three thousand storage rooms of varying sizes, the smallest being over a thousand square meters.

Various kinds of resources are stored there, including Spirit Stones, ores, Spiritual Medicine, Elixirs, Spiritual Wine, Spiritual Tea, Magic Artifacts, magical treasures, armaments, vestment robes, Spirit Rice, and so on.

Different resources require different storage rooms, each isolated by arrays.

For instance, a room storing Spirit Stones needs a Locking Spirit Array to prevent the overflow of Spiritual Energy from within the stones.

A room storing Spiritual Wine is called a cellar, requiring strict humidity, temperature, and Spiritual Energy concentration control.

While Spiritual Medicine storage requires herbal ingredients to undergo processing and be made into medicinal materials for long-term storage.

Furthermore, Spiritual Medicine not only refers to herbal-derived materials but also includes mineral-type medicinal materials, Spiritual Liquid-type medicinal materials, demon beast bones, blood, and the like, each with their own special storage requirements.

Spirit Source Land’s main industry is Alchemy, so there is a huge demand in terms of medicinal material storage.

Though seemingly trivial, these details demonstrate the foundation of a power.

Spirit Source Land has been established for over two hundred years. Compared to those powers with thousands of years of inheritance, its duration can be considered insignificant.

However, Spirit Source Land has advantages many other powers do not – its internal production.

Primarily the output of first-order and second-order Spiritual Objects; previously, Spirit Source Land struggled to achieve self-sufficiency in low-level Spiritual Objects, mainly due to incomplete categories.

But with time and the cultivation and transplantation by Spirit Source Land, coupled with numerous Blessed Lands, now eighty percent of Spirit Source Land’s low-level Spiritual Objects can be self-sufficient.

Moreover, sixty percent of the low-level Spiritual Objects can be sold externally to exchange for Spirit Stones to meet the internal Spiritual Energy consumption in Spirit Source Land.

Trade with Hengshan Sect is to acquire a full range of low-level Spiritual Objects and to earn Spirit Stones.

Similarly, doing business in Wanbao Immortal City fulfills those two purposes. Occasionally, one can also purchase some third-stage Spiritual Objects, compensating for Spirit Source Land’s lack of third-stage Spiritual Objects.

Currently, White Jade City has reached a very sufficient level in low-level Spiritual Objects and low-level resources. What is lacking instead are the third-stage Spiritual Objects needed by Golden Core Cultivators and Demon Kings.

Truthfully, many powers lack third-stage Spiritual Objects, from Heavenly Constitution Road and the four major forces to those aspiring Core Formation Foundation Establishment powers; no power dares to say they are not in need of third-stage Spiritual Objects.

As the war approaches, Spirit Source Land, this machine long dormant, is reinvigorated.

Everything appears extremely busy, yet orderly.

A large number of personnel are stationed at the forward base, a substantial amount of resources distributed to the soldiers, with many materials piled up in the temporary warehouses of the forward base.

Temporary warehouses do not follow strict protocols as supplies are soon to be consumed, requiring minimal storage conditions, mainly keeping dry and temporary storage.

A few days later, the forward base completed its basic construction. The peaks on the east and west sides were enveloped by Guardian Arrays, and across the openings on the north and south ends stood over ten-zhang-high city walls.

The city walls, constructed with mountain rock, appear rugged and magnificent, each stone inscribed with Runes. These Runes connect to the Guardian Array; as long as the array remains unbroken, the walls will not collapse.
