"Darkness blooming cereus, it really is the Darkness blooming cereus …"
Zong Shou was startled for a long while, unable to believe it. Could it be that he had received some sort of heavenly mandate? His luck was actually so good.
He just wanted to dig the core of a Grade Two mind stone mine, but he actually dug out purple spirit iron and then bumped into such a treasure.
Darkness blooming cereus, just from its name, one would know that such a spiritual herb needed to grow in a dark environment.
Based on what Zong Shou knew, not only did such a spiritual herb need to be filled with spiritual energy. It also couldn't see any light or air. Once one came into contact with it, one would instantly die.
However, after it formed a bud, it needed to be exposed to the air before it could bloom. It only had a short lifespan of ten breaths before it withered.
This item couldn't raise energy training cultivation and also couldn't increase soul power. However, after it bloomed, the seeds it produced had a special ability that could make all spirit masters go crazy for it.
Even he couldn't help but be tempted by it!
His breathing couldn't help but become heavy as Zong Shou pinched his arm. Under the piercing pain, he didn't lose his focus.
Although this Darkness blooming cereus was good, it needed to bloom before it could be picked. At this moment, there were still a full 24 hours until it bloomed. A full day later, he would be able to get it.
Once again, he controlled the stone puppets to continue digging. However, he carefully avoided the Darkness blooming cereus and went in from the side.
As expected, this place was where the mine core was. After digging for 4 hours, he obtained dozens of Grade Three mind stones, making Zong Shou smile. Their attributes were different. There were many water element ones, probably due to this underground stream. Next would be earth element mind stones, taking up a small half.
Mind stones were mostly produced in places with thick earth energy. Which was why no matter which mind stone mine it was, there would definitely be earth element mind stones.
As for the Spirit Stone Ore, it was buried about three hundred feet below the surface of the tunnel. It was close to 800 feet from the ground.
When Zong Shou noticed this item, he had already ordered the 3 stone puppets to dig for 8 hours.
This mind stone mine core was different from mind stones. It was silvery white and looked like a goose egg. It was no different from an ordinary stone. However, he could sense that the spiritual energy contained within was four times that of a normal spirit stone.
"It's actually a metal-type ore core!"
Zong Shou's eyes were filled with a sense of guilt. This time, he guessed wrong again.
Originally, after digging out so many water-type and earth-type spirit stones, he had assumed that the ore cores would be of these two attributes.
In the end, what was dug out was completely unrelated to the Heptagold.
"Yes! As the saying goes, 'Metal breeds water'. This was also a place where the earth veins were thick, and there was also that piece of Purple Spirit Iron Ore. I'm the one who's inexperienced and inexperienced! "
The knowledge he read in books and the actual practice were indeed two different things.
No matter how hard he tried to sense the ore core, it didn't give him any more surprises. The metal-type spiritual energy inside was abundant, but only two relatively strong spiritual energy veins could be identified.
The so-called ore core was no different from the Vein Spiritual Pearl.
The difference was that the former was naturally condensed. Many spiritual veins gathered underground, reacting with one another to form a mind stone mine. The so-called ore core was the product of many spiritual veins colliding and even merging. Many spiritual veins were formed within. Every medium-sized and above mind stone mine would have one to several ore cores. There was also a chance that there wouldn't be a single one.
As for the Vein Spiritual Pearl, it was totally man-made.
He felt Little Gold's reaction slowly becoming more and more intense in his left arm. Zong Shou couldn't help but smile. This little fellow was really lucky today.
Although the metal-type ore core disappointed him. Only the water-type, lightning-type, and fire-type attributes could be converted into the Vein Spiritual Pearl. Only then would it be of great help to him.
However, these two metal-type spiritual veins were not bad either. He could directly merge with that Grade Two metal-type Vein Spiritual Pearl. After Grade Four, he could barely reach the requirements to become an external pill.
"The spiritual energy here is no less than some spiritual lands. It's most probably because the Darkness Blooming Cereus and the Purple Spirit Iron Ore swallowed too much spiritual energy. If not, this mind stone mine wouldn't just be Grade Two, it would at least raise by half a grade … "
After obtaining the ore core, Zong Shou still didn't give up. He continued to search around. As expected, in 4 hours, he found another 20 Grade Three mind stones. This time, it was the gold mind stones that exploded. There were a total of 17, a large half of the total.
When he used his spiritual sense to search around, he couldn't find any traces of the mind stones. Only then did he order the puppet to stop.
There should be many mind stones buried nearby. However, the location was really hidden and hard to confirm. He also wasn't willing to waste time searching.
Climbing out of the giant hole that he dug, Zong Shou looked at the Darkness Blooming Cereus once more. His eyes couldn't help but show a troubled expression.
His original plan was to come quickly and return quickly. He would be able to return in a night. However, to wait for the Cereus Blooming Cereus to bloom, it would take at least a few hours.
However, even if he used his feet to think about this matter, he knew how to choose.
"There are 14 hours until the Darkness Blooming Cereus Blooming Cereus. Forget it. I can let Little Gold swallow all these mind stones … "
Zong Shou directly chose a slightly more spacious area nearby. Then, he ordered the 3 puppets to dig to the side and open up a wider area. It was 60 feet to the left, right, front, and back.
However, when Zong Shou started to lay out the formation, he felt a headache. At this moment, the Grade Three beast crystals in his bag were close to dry up. He spent a lot of effort and added in 2 mind stones before he was barely able to gather enough.
The natural essence energy and soul energy in the mind stones were extremely pure, no weaker than the essence energy he absorbed from the Lightning Phoenix egg. Actually, Little Gold could directly swallow it.
Zong Shou laid out this formation not to absorb the mind stones but for other uses.
Looking around in satisfaction, Zong Shou tossed 2 metal element mind stones to Chu Xue who was standing at the side like a dumb goose, "You won't be able to learn anything from this. Go to the side and use these 2 mind stones. You have already swallowed 2 Human Pinnacle Pills and with the help of these mind stones, in a few days you should be able to reach the Spirit Cultivation Realm … "
"Eh? You are giving this stone to me? "Chu Xue grabbed the mind stones in her hand, her face filled with confusion," But how should I use it? "
She hadn't cultivated in a long time. Every day she would just habitually cultivate her soul power and was unable to break through to the Soul Observing Realm. Although she had learned the method to absorb mind stones in the past, she didn't have a chance to come into contact with it these few years and had long forgotten about it.
Zong Shou's face instantly turned green, looking extremely unsightly. Chu Xue gave an awkward smile, for some reason she felt guilty, laughing dryly, "Ah Ye! Young Master, Xue remembered, she had some impression! No, I remember it really clearly. How could I forget? "
Zong Shou frowned, his heart moved, his expression turning calm, "Xue, if you don't understand then just say it! I won't scold you. Oh right, I drew a total of 3 talisman formations, did you learn anything? The talismans used are really common, you should have learned them before … "
This time he could have gone alone to obtain the ore core. The reason why he let Chu Xue follow was to let her observe him drawing the talismans and laying out the formations. In the world, there was no better way to understand the true meaning of talismans than directly observing the process of high grade spirit masters and talisman masters drawing talismans.
Which was why spirit masters, be it ten thousand years ago or ten thousand years later, emphasized the legacy the most.
Chu Xue instantly heaved a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to believe it, her eyes filled with a pitiful look as she asked, "Really? Young Master really won't scold me? " Zong Shou nodded his head, barely calming down, still blinking his eyes, "Young Master, you promised not to scold me, you promised! Xue, en, Xue forgot all about it! I have already learned to absorb the spiritual power of mind stones for many years, how would I remember? And those talismans, they recognize Xue, but Xue doesn't recognize them, I forgot about it long ago … "
Zong Shou was furious, not waiting for Chu Xue to finish before he grabbed Chu Xue's face, pinching left and right, "You are still so confident! If you don't know talismans, what kind of spirit master are you? Why don't you just cultivate martial arts? "
Seeing that Chu Xue's eyes were slightly red, her watery eyes shining like stars, her chin fiercely nodding like she wanted to tell him that she would just cultivate martial arts. Talismans and spells were so troublesome, she didn't want to learn them. Zong Shou couldn't help but laugh in anger, adding more strength, "You dumb girl, your combat martial body is not bad, you don't need to study those sword and fist theories to reach the peak of the martial path. However, if you meet those really sick people in the future, you are dead for sure, do you know? After cultivating spiritual techniques, at least if you can't beat them, you can escape! You still want to act cute in front of me? Hmph, there is no use in acting pitiful! When you go back, copy the desolate talisman scripture a hundred times, do you hear me! "
In the end, he couldn't win against the killing power of Chu Xue's gaze, and he was also afraid that he would really ruin her face. After punishing her a little, Zong Shou let go.
Chu Xue instantly jumped up, dodging to the side, her two hands covering her face as she cried, "Young Master, you didn't keep your words, you said you wouldn't scold me!"
"I directly pinched you, not scolded you! Why didn't I keep my words? "
Zong Shou was slightly delighted while thinking about the feeling just now. His face turned serious as he started to teach her the chant to absorb the mind stone.
When a martial cultivator absorbed the energy within the mind stone, they just needed to activate their true qi and directly absorb it. It was a little more troublesome for spirit masters as they needed to use spiritual techniques to draw out the spiritual energy within.
After teaching her the chant, there were also a few talismans that needed to be used. Zong Shou was worried that this brat didn't understand and would waste the mind stone. He taught her a few more times before letting her sit at the side and start to absorb the mind stone.
Zong Shou sat at the center of the spiritual formation, allowing Little Gold to slide down from his arm. If the octopus beast wanted to swallow something, it was really simple, it just needed to throw the mind stone over.
In just a few minutes, Zong Shou saw an entire mind stone being ground into dust by Little Gold. It actually didn't let go of a single trace of spiritual energy. After absorbing all of it, it spat out all of the remaining powder.
It was also Grade 3, but this mind stone didn't give it any pain or burden. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
