After thinking for a long time, he came up with a method.
In his previous life, he had seen a deity who could not catch anything and drained the water in anger.
This method could be used as a reference. Taking out the things in the Gui Water Nether Spring was like fishing.
Since fishing was not easy, he would drain the water and go in to pick up the fish.
Where to put the water was also a problem. He was reluctant to put it into the space of the spirit pearl.
This water yin qi was too strong. If it was introduced into the space of the spirit pearl, besides the Inky Jade Lotus, many spirit plants and spirit beasts, as well as the Soul Chasing Bees, would not survive.
It was better to introduce it underground. Find a suitable place, dig an underground water storage space, and lead the water into the water storage space.
The space where the Gui Water Nether Spring was located was only so big.
After draining the spring water, some of the water that flowed into the rock cracks would flow back, and there would be spring water that would constantly gush out from the spring.
Therefore, this water storage space could not be too small.
For safety reasons, it was better to be prepared. Below the passage, he dug out a space that was three hundred meters in length, width, and height.
According to Five Elements Spiritual Master's estimation, the Gui Water Nether Spring would gush out a few hundred kilograms of water in a breath of time.
To fill a space that was three hundred meters in length, width, and height, this was not something that could be done in a day or two.
In this way, he would have enough time to collect the spirit items that the Gui Water Nether Spring produced.
Of course, to open up such a large space, it would take a lot of effort.
In order to get the treasures in the Gui Water Nether Spring, he had already dug a hole underground for nearly eight years. The remaining work was nothing.
He did not choose to dig near the Gui Water Nether Spring. The yin qi here was too heavy. If he stayed for a long time, his body would not be able to bear it.
Especially the main force of digging the hole, the rat group, could not bear the yin qi near the Gui Water Nether Spring.
In a place far away from the Nether Spring, digging this water storage space, and then digging a water channel to connect to the Nether Spring would be much faster.
Next, he used the Spirit Seeking Compass to explore the surroundings of the channel, looking for a suitable place to dig a large space.
Finally, he found a suitable place five hundred meters away from the Gui Water Nether Spring.
In this place, there were fewer rock cracks underground. The closest crack to the channel was also three hundred meters underground.
It was not a problem to dig a hundred meters underground space here.
This place was far enough away from the Gui Water Nether Spring. The Yin Qi in the spring water didn't affect this place too much. Rank 1 Gold Devouring Rats were completely capable of burrowing here.
The water storage space needed to be opened up in a very deep place below the passageway. It must not be dug above the passageway. Otherwise, if the hole dug could not be blocked, it would be impossible to come in again.
Even if he successfully took away the treasure bred in the Gui Water Nether Spring this time, this place was not without value.
The source of the Nether Water River, which the Nether Sect relied on for survival, was here.
If he needed to deal with the Underworld Sect in the future, he only needed to destroy the Gui Water Nether Spring, and the Nether Water River would have no Yin Qi.
In the future, when his Array Formation cultivation reached the third level of upper grade, he would be able to extract the source of the Spirit Vein.
The Gui Water Nether Spring was once a Grade Five Spirit Spring, and its source was a true treasure.
In addition, since this place could produce the Gui Water Nether Spring, there must be something even deeper underground.
With his current strength, it was already extremely difficult for him to take away the treasure nurtured in the Netherworld Spring. He could only think about other things.
However, he had to leave some leeway for his future plans.
It was just like a master playing chess. When he had free time, he could casually place a piece that could be of great use in the future.
This Gui Water Nether Spring was an idle piece.
If he left this idle piece now, in the future when he fought against the Underworld Sect, it could be used as a killing move to kill the Underworld Sect.
He first dug a two foot square hole in the ground of the passageway.
He released the Returning Dust Flame, burning it all the way down.
After pushing down a hundred feet, he expanded the width of the passageway from two feet to a hundred feet.
Pushing down another hundred feet, he dug out an underground space that was a hundred feet deep, a hundred feet long, and two feet wide. This was the initial form of an underground water storage space.
After that, he did not continue down, but instead pushed in the direction of the Gui Water Nether Spring.
He let the Gold Biter Rats down, and had them drill holes in the rock.
The Gold Biter Rats had drilled out more than a thousand holes in the one hundred foot square rock wall. Each hole was a hundred feet deep.
After digging the holes, all the Gold Biter Rats retreated. Wang Daoyuan personally went down, and set fire to the rock.
Fortunately, the rock here contained a lot of earth attribute spirit energy, and there was very little ash. Wang Daoyuan did not need to expend too much spirit energy and consciousness, nor did he need to worry about the problem of burning ash taking up space.
He only needed to control the Returning Dust Flame, and prevent the fire from spreading downwards or upwards.
Even so, it was not easy to dig out such a large underground space.
It took several months to open up this underground water storage space that was a hundred feet in length, width, and height.
Next, he had to dig out a channel to lead the water from the Gui Water Nether Spring into the water storage space.
This work was not easy. The distance between the water storage space and the Gui Water Nether Spring was more than four hundred feet in a straight line. Digging out a channel to lead the water would inevitably require him to take a detour to avoid the cracks in the rock.
The actual length of the channel was definitely more than four hundred feet.
If he directly burned it, it would probably take several months.
If he let the Gold Biter Rats dig, ordinary Gold Biter Rats would not be able to withstand the invasion of yin qi.
In the end, he set his sights on the Rat King.
The Rat King was a low rank two demon beast. Its ability to withstand yin qi was far from what ordinary Gold Biter Rats could compare to.
When he had pushed in before, the Rat King had only commanded the ordinary Gold Biter Rats to work.
Now, he could only let it personally do the work.
In order to increase the Rat King's enthusiasm for work, Wang Daoyuan took out a hundred Core Condensing Pills.
For every ten feet the Rat King dug a hole, he would be rewarded with a Core Condensing Pill.
This was a pill used by Foundation Establishment cultivators to increase their cultivation. It was also useful for demon beasts.
The Rat King looked at the Core Condensing Pills, its bean-sized rat eyes emitting a light of desire.
Its enthusiasm for work soared in an instant, revealing its three inch long golden incisors. Under Wang Daoyuan's guidance, it dug in the direction of the Gui Water Nether Spring.
Under the Rat King's golden incisors, the hard rock walls were like tofu. In two hours, it could gnaw out a passage of more than ten feet.
Five days later, the distance between the channel and the Gui Water Nether Spring was less than ten feet.
After opening up this ten feet distance, the channel would be connected to the bottom of the Gui Water Nether Spring.
The Rat King was unwilling to continue digging. The yin qi in the channel was already very dense. If it continued to dig, it would not be able to withstand it.
The remaining distance could only be burned by the Returning Dust Flame. Wang Daoyuan came to the channel, took out a ball of Returning Dust Flame, and threw it into the end of the channel with his spiritual sense and spiritual power.
At such a long distance, he could not use his spiritual sense to control it.
At this time, there was no need to control it. As long as it could burn through the last ten feet, the spring water would automatically extinguish the Returning Dust Flame.
After arranging the channel, he left the underground water storage space and sealed the water storage space to prevent the spring water from filling up the water storage space and spreading to the channel above.
After that, he came to the end of the channel that he had previously dug.
This was the place where he was going to enter the Gui Water Nether Spring. It was still twenty to thirty feet away from the Gui Water Nether Spring.
After the channel was opened, he would quickly dig through the twenty to thirty feet thick rock wall.
He used the Spirit Seeking Compass to observe the situation of the channel.
Two hours later, the Returning Dust Flame finally burned through the channel.
The yin qi of the nether spring water, along the one foot diameter channel, quickly flowed into the water storage space.
Wang Daoyuan continued to send out the Rat King to gnaw through the twenty to thirty feet thick rock wall.
The Rat King did not disappoint. In two hours, it dug out a small hole nearly twenty feet long.
After that, because it could not withstand the yin qi, it retreated from the small hole.
Wang Daoyuan released the Returning Dust Flame, widening the small hole dug by the Rat King until it could accommodate one person.
When all the spring water accumulated in the Gui Water Nether Spring flowed into the water storage space.
He opened the last layer of rock wall between the channel and the Gui Water Nether Spring. After swallowing a drop of Earth Vein Spirit Milk, he entered the Gui Water Nether Spring.
