Each Spirit Stone would take about half an hour or so. Little Gold only swallowed 16 mind stones before it was unable to swallow anymore.
Its body swelled up once more, but it didn't seem to be in pain. It jumped into his palm and rubbed against his palm intimately.
Zong Shou laughed, taking out the mine core and placing it in front of him. His expression slowly became solemn.
He bit his finger and drew 2 talismans outside of the mine core. One was shock, the other was crack.
His eyes lit up as he hollered, "Break!"
The Spirit Stone Ore Core immediately trembled and countless cracks appeared on its surface. It only lasted for a moment before it totally shattered.
Instantly 2 silver-white streaks of light surged out from within. They were like giant pythons, one left and one right as they charged out.
There was a so-called dragon vein in the world. Even if a mortal obtained it, he or she could be called a king. Actually, the dragon vein was just a large amount of source spiritual energy gathered. Once it was spread out, it was like a giant dragon, not relying on the energy of the earth as it roamed between heaven and earth.
In front of Zong Shou were 2 small-sized metal element spiritual veins. However, the moment they charged out of the mine core, they were like pythons, giving off a shocking aura.
However, when the two giant pythons were only about four zhang away, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared and forcefully repelled them.
Zong Shou didn't dare to be careless. He knew that his spiritual formation was of a low grade and wouldn't be able to last for too long. He formed a seal with his right hand and once again chanted out, "Attract!"
Following which, in Zong Shou's hand, a ball of light exploded out from within Little Gold's stomach. Those 2 spiritual veins seemed to be forcefully attracted by a power as they gathered in front of him.
At the start, Little Gold was a little uneasy and tried to struggle. A moment later, it realized that the 2 balls of silver-white light not only didn't harm it, but instead had some benefits. Only then did it calm down. It allowed the 2 giant pythons to drill into its stomach.
Only after 6 hours did the 2 metal elemental spiritual veins completely merge into the spiritual vein pearl.
The entire process seemed like there were no twists and turns, going smoothly.
However, when Zong Shou was done, his forehead was covered in sweat and his face was extremely pale. Compared to the intense battle with Li Yaling that day, he was even more exhausted.
These spirit veins did not have their own consciousness, so they could be controlled. However, they were naturally agile and had the characteristics of wandering and dispersing. They were also very sensitive to changes in spiritual energy.
The most difficult part just now was not luring it over, but trapping it. Instead, for a full 6 hours, he was fully focused, such that his soul sense and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were in perfect harmony.
It also required a large amount of soul power to prevent the spirit vein from escaping or spilling out. Therefore, the exhaustion was so great that it was no different from fighting against a strong enemy, fighting with all his strength for six hours!
"This spirit vein is indeed extremely difficult to control! No wonder that spiritual vein pearl needed at least a Return to Sun realm spirit master to craft. It would be extremely difficult to capture them. To draw it into the Spiritual Vein Pearl, one would need a huge amount of soul power and precise control of spiritual energy. Every time he added a new one, the difficulty would increase tenfold. To find materials that could store spiritual veins would be even more difficult! My metal element spiritual vein pearl can store up to 5 spiritual veins, which is already really rare. Yiren's external pill was worth a city. Today, I was lucky to find this ore core. The spiritual veins within were originally really gentle, which was why the pearl could successfully upgrade … "
When the last bit of light was swallowed by the spiritual vein pearl, Zong Shou sat down cross-legged. Zong Shou sat cross-legged and entered meditation. Only when the Darkness Blooming Cereus gave out a spiritual energy fluctuation did he wake up.
However, he still didn't recover much of his energy, and his eyes were still filled with exhaustion.
His face was filled with excitement. With a thought, the thin film that Little Gold turned into started to spread around his upper arm. It then covered his chest and abdomen, as if it was a close-fitting silver armor that covered his entire upper body.
Countless tiny needles drilled into his muscles and connected with his meridians and acupoints.
At this moment, Xiao Jin seemed to be an extension of his physical body. At the same time, the Spirit Vein Pearl, which had already advanced to the fourth grade, was also transmitting streams of immense spiritual power into Nie Tian's body through Xiao Jin.
The energy in Zong Shou's body was suddenly filled up, surging and rumbling, continuously boiling. The strength of his entire body seemed to have increased by several times in an instant!
The movement of his body caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, especially the interference of the metal element, to slowly increase.
The true qi in his body moved and he could gather large amounts of spiritual energy.
"This is Xiantian …"
A feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time rose up in Zong Shou's heart, and his mental state also fluctuated. Even at this moment, he used the power of the external pill to reach the Xiantian Realm, but it still made it hard for him to control himself.
At this moment, what was surging in his body was true qi, power, power that he could use as he pleased!
Exhaling, Zong Shou stabbed out with his sword. At the tip of the lightning tooth sword, a streak of sword energy shot out, giving out a sharp "chi" sound. Only when it was 60 feet out did it dissipate.
Stone dust splattered, and a small hole appeared on the stone wall. It was extremely sharp and silent.
"It isn't the lightning element that I wanted, nor is it the water element that can fully display the cloud shocking god destroying sword intent. However, it has the sharpness of the metal element. No one below a spiritual weapon can block this sword! "
He also caused the hiltless black wave sword to fly out, not holding it in his hand. Only a thread of true power was injected into the sword, and another thread of sword energy surged out, reaching seventy feet.
This sword had been nurtured by the broken blade sword for close to 200 years and had some metal fragment sword intent. At this moment, when Zong Shou injected large amounts of metal element spiritual energy into it, it instantly had a chemical reaction.
"My sword energy can reach 60 feet out, which means that my current physical strength can reach 60 thousand kilograms! 30 thousand kilograms of strength can be used to send energy out of the body. After that, for every 10 thousand kilograms of strength, it can increase by 10 feet! If I go all out, I can go up against those Xiantian experts without spiritual vein pearls. Unfortunately, I am not a true Xiantian expert. Although I can use it, I can't use it for long! "
The reason why an Earth Wheel expert could surpass a Body Wheel expert in all aspects. Apart from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to train the body. Using external forces to train the foundation chakra, breath chakra, marrow chakra, bone chakra, blood chakra, intellect chakra, organ chakra, and outer chakra. The biggest difference was merging with spiritual veins.
Every time a chakra was formed, one could choose a spiritual vein to merge into the body and merge with the chakra.
Other people could only rely on their physical strength to reach the Mythic Master Realm before they could borrow some Power from heaven and earth. However, Xiantian Masters had many spiritual veins in their bodies that were self-sufficient and didn't fear drying up. How could Body Wheel experts fight against them? How could their physical strength not be strong?
This was the reason why the martial artist stage was called the Earth Wheel level. Spiritual veins also had grades. Small spiritual veins relied on the energy of the earth, which was why they were called earth veins.
Using the external pill could allow him to gain the strength to go up against Xiantian Masters in a short period of time. However, the problem was that his body was still at the Body Wheel level, and his meridians were weak and couldn't support it.
However, he didn't have much stamina. Once he fought with someone, no matter if he won or lost, he could only last for a cup of tea or two, so he wasn't worried about that.
What was a pity was that Grade Four spiritual vein pearls didn't have much power to borrow. Using Little Gold's body to transfer power was even rarer.
Zong Shou helplessly shook his head, and Little Gold's body started to retract. It once again gathered in his left hand, wrapping tightly around it like a protective wall.
"With this external pill, before I reach the Xiantian Realm, I can handle it. Even if it were those Grandmasters, I would still be able to escape unscathed. At this moment, I'm a little curious whether my dual meridian body can merge with spiritual veins. Heh! At the Earth Chakra Realm, merging eighteen spiritual veins into my body, is that possible? "
Zong Shou was in deep thought, thinking back to the records of dual meridian body cultivation. There weren't any examples of success, and it wasn't specifically mentioned. Presumably, no one had done it before.
However, this was a precedent. Presumably, no one had spiral meridians like his! No one could be like him, creating such a shocking spiritual art with water, fire, and lightning elements intertwining spirals.
Suddenly, a ball of energy shot out from his palm. He looked at the blue and red Qi forces that attracted and repelled each other. Zong Shou laughed, grabbing it and extinguishing it.
Such a possibility made one look forward to it. However, it was still too early to think about it. It wouldn't be too late to think about it after he broke open the Body Wheel!
Stepping off the ground, Zong Shou lightly floated to the side of the hole. He coldly looked at the Darkness Blooming Cereus.
The spiritual energy fluctuation of this item was extremely intense and unstable, like it was on the verge of exploding.
Only when it reached an extreme did it stabilize. Then, the flower petals began to blossom at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zong Shou held his breath. The pure black color of the petals was extremely beautiful in his eyes.
"What flower is this? So beautiful!"
Chu Xue, who had long finished absorbing the mind stone, also walked to the side of the stone hole. Her face was filled with confusion. She unconsciously reached out her hand to touch it, but Zong Shou grabbed it.
When the Darkness Blooming Cereus completely bloomed. Zong Shou didn't advance, but instead retreated. He brought Chu Xue and retreated a hundred feet away.
In the next moment, a ball of black mist was spat out. It spread for dozens of feet, silently corroding a large portion of the surrounding soil.
When Chu Xue saw the situation, her face couldn't help but turn pale. Such a beautiful flower also contained lethal poison. Just now, if she had retreated a little slower, or if her hand had touched the flower, her body would have been melted.
Zong Shou was unfazed, directly casting a spell. He summoned a breeze to blow away the black mist.
Only when there was nothing left did he go deeper and come to the side of the stone hole.
Just as he was looking at the blooming and withering of the epiphyllum, the entire hole suddenly started to shake and sand started to fall.
Zong Shou's brows furrowed slightly as he looked into the distance.
He could hear some people's voices, and there were many of them who were walking in this direction. (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.)
