Although a Spirit Stone Mine was not as good as a Spirit Vein, a Spirit Stone Mine still accumulated a relatively rich amount of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi. However, when Lu Ping opened the entrance of the Spirit Stone Mine, there was not a trace of Spirit Qi leaking out.
Before Lu Ping could enter the Spirit Stone Mine, an illusory figure of a woman that seemed like it would collapse at any time floated out from the depths of the mine.
"How did you know that I have Qian Zhong Su and the Golden House?"
When Lu Ping saw that there was indeed a Tool Spirit hiding here, he was overjoyed. However, when he heard that the Tool Spirit Ru Yu was able to see through Lu Ping's Heavenly Abode, Lu Ping's face sank.
"It's very simple!"
The Tool Spirit Ru Yu curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled. However, this smile made her figure seem even more disorganized.
Lu Ping furrowed his brows. He took out a top-grade spirit stone and cast [Spirit Explosion Art], causing the entire top-grade spirit stone to burst out with extremely pure spiritual energy that surrounded the jade-like Artifact Spirit.
"Ah, a Top Grade Spirit Stone!"
The Tool Spirit Ru Yu let out a cry of joy. Her originally disorganized figure quickly began to greedily absorb the rich and pure Spirit Qi. When the Spirit Qi was completely absorbed, the Tool Spirit Ru Yu's figure suddenly became much more solid.
"Because Qian Zhong Su and the Golden House were originally part of the treasure ship of Fei Ling Sect, the 'Sea Carriage', and I am the Tool Spirit of the treasure ship, no one can be more familiar with these two special Heavenly Abode than I am!"
Lu Ping's heart was already surging with emotions. The treasure ship of Fei Ling Sect was really something that one could wear out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance without even looking for it.
However, Lu Ping's expression did not change at all. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "You said that you are the guardian Tool Spirit of Fei Ling Sect's treasure ship, so why are you here now? Where is the treasure ship of Fei Ling Sect?"
Although Lu Ping tried to hide it, the Tool Spirit Ru Yu seemed to be able to sense Lu Ping's eagerness for the treasure ship from Lu Ping's words. However, she still shook her head and said, "The treasure ship had sunk in the northern part of the North Sea. At that time, the great practitioner of Fei Ling Sect only had time to bring back the damaged Golden House, Qian Zhong Su, and myself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping was stunned and said, "What? The Golden House and Qian Zhong Su, these two celestial treasures, are also part of the treasure ship?"
Ru Yu nodded and said, "Yes, and they are the most important parts of the treasure ship. These two Heavenly Abode celestial treasures are the spatial core of the entire treasure ship, and also the key to the treasure ship's ability to travel between the Central Plains and the overseas cultivation world. The reason why the great practitioner of Fei Ling Sect brought these two Heavenly Abode celestial treasures back alone was to repair them in the future, and then salvage the treasure ship from the bottom of the sea. Without these two Heavenly Abode celestial treasures, the wreckage of the treasure ship couldn't be repaired even if it was salvaged!"
"Why did the treasure ship of Fei Ling Sect sink?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Ping opened his mouth and asked.
"It was attacked. At that time, the great practitioner of Fei Ling Sect who was controlling the treasure ship couldn't resist, but I don't know who the enemy was!"
Ru Yu's body was temporarily restored because of Lu Ping's Supreme Grade Spirit Stone, but if she wanted to completely restore to her peak state four thousand years ago, a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone wouldn't be able to do it.
An Artifact Spirit was different from a real cultivator. It could not cultivate at all. Even though it had survived the Thunder Tribulation and condensed Pure Yang Qi, it could only be nourished by the cultivator's own True Essence. Only then could it maintain or display its own functions.
Once they lost the nourishment of a cultivator's True Essence, the Artifact spirit's own spirituality would fade with the passage of time, until the Artifact spirit in a Thunder Tribulation Spirit Treasure completely disappeared, and it would become a Spirit Nurturing Treasure again, or even lower.
However, the Artifact spirit itself also had a body to protect it, just like how Linglong was protected by Linglong's wine cauldron. Although four thousand years had passed, the Artifact spirit's spirituality hadn't been lost too much.
However, the Artifact spirit Ru Yu was different from other Artifact spirits. She could exist without a body, and her own quality might be stronger than Linglong's, but it was precisely because she didn't have a body to protect her that her current state was far worse than Linglong's.
"After I was brought back to Fei Ling Sect, I was handed over to the master and disciple. The two of them worked together to repair Qian Zhong Su and the House of Gold. Later, the master seemed to be looking for something to repair the House of Gold, so he left with the House of Gold, leaving only the disciple who was repairing Qian Zhong Su and myself."
Lu Ping's heart moved, and he said, "Is the master called Zhongxuan Laozu, and the disciple is Jiao Yuqiang?"
Ru Yu was stunned, and she said, "It seems that too much time has passed, and my own spirituality has been lost. In order to slow down the loss of spirituality, I have forgotten many of my memories!"
Lu Ping nodded, this was right. When Linglong was first found in the Ying Tian Dojo, although she had the protection of the wine cauldron, her own spirituality had been damaged a lot, and many of her memories of the Ying Tian Dojo had been destroyed.
Now, the loss of spirituality of this Artifact spirit Ru Yu was obviously much greater than that of Linglong, but it was already quite amazing that she could still remember so many things.
"Without the treasure ship's body, how can you maintain your own spirituality for four thousand years without being destroyed?"
Lu Ping looked at the cave behind Ru Yu, and he said, "Is it because of the Spirit Stone mine behind you?"
Ru Yu nodded, and she signaled Lu Ping to follow behind her.
Lu Ping followed Ru Yu into the spirit stone mine. About a thousand feet into the spirit stone mine, the spirit stone vein was already exposed on the cave walls. Spirit stones were scattered on the stone walls, glowing with a misty light and illuminating the originally dark cave.
Lu Ping stared at the formation plate on the ground and the formation engraved around it, and he said in surprise, "You relied on this formation to absorb spirit energy from the Spirit Stone mine to survive for four thousand years?"
Ru Yu was stunned for a moment, and she said, "Yes, four thousand years! This formation was set up by that disciple. At that time, something extremely important seemed to have happened in Fei Ling Sect, so he couldn't take care of me anymore. He hurriedly set up a formation here and left. As for me, I can't go too far away from here. Otherwise, if I can't receive the spiritual Qi in the formation, I'll disappear soon. "
Lu Ping carefully examined the array formation. It was an extremely exquisite Spirit Transferring Array Formation. It could convert the spirit stones in the spirit vein into a unique spiritual energy that could be used to maintain its own form. It was similar to Lu Ping's [Spirit Explosion Art], albeit a different approach.
However, this Spirit Transferring Formation couldn't stimulate the spirit energy in the spirit stones to such a high degree like the Spirit Explosion Technique, and the Spirit Explosion Technique could only target one or a few spirit stones at a time, so it couldn't achieve the scale of the Spirit Transferring Formation.
Lu Ping carefully recorded this formation and gave it to Hu Lili as a reference in the future. It would definitely be helpful for her to improve her formation skills.
After recording the Spirit Transferring Formation, Lu Ping turned to look at Ru Yu and said, "Miss Ru Yu, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Ru Yu bitterly smiled and said, "What else can I do? If I continue to stay in this cave, I'm afraid that even with the Spirit Transferring Formation, Ru Yu will disappear. Moreover, the Golden House and the Thousand Bell Millet are in Master's hands. That was the place where Ru Yu lived on the treasure ship. Therefore, I hope Master can help me!"
Lu Ping stretched out his hand and flicked out a drop of bluish-purple liquid true essence with a trace of hidden electric arcs. The liquid true essence flew straight towards Ru Yu's chest.
The moment the liquid True Essence touched the jade body of the artifact spirit, it was like a drop of ink falling into clear water. This drop of liquid True Essence, with the jade chest as the center, quickly spread throughout her entire body.
After refining three portions of Thunder Tribulation Water, the spirituality in Lu Ping's true essence had a trace of violence. When refining magic treasure spirits and casting magical techniques, there were many more overbearing things in it.
In addition, Ru Yu had reached an extremely weak state at this time. Moreover, she deliberately let Lu Ping be the master. Therefore, Lu Ping's refining process was surprisingly smooth. In just a cup of tea's time, Lu Ping's true essence had spread throughout the body of Ru Yu's true essence. Then, the bluish-purple light disappeared again, and the Ru Yu's true essence returned to its previous appearance of white clothes and plain face.
However, although her previous appearance was still weak after being refined by Lu Ping, there was a trace of vitality and spirituality in her body. Obviously, her previous worries were gone. With the help of the spirit vein gathered by Linglong at the top of Fei Ling Mountain, she should be able to recover as soon as possible.
Lu Ping held the House of Gold that was hanging on his neck in his hand. Ru Yu's face lit up with joy. Without Lu Ping doing anything, the House of Gold actually flew up from Lu Ping's palm. Then, the tightly closed door of the House of Gold suddenly opened from the inside. Ru Yu flew up and disappeared into the House of Gold.
With a thought from Lu Ping, the House of Gold shrank and fell into his palm. Lu Ping could feel that the House of Gold was going through a huge change at this time.
However, at this time, Lu Ping turned his attention back to the spirit stone vein in front of him.
Before the appearance of large spirit stone veins on Frost Island, even during the days when Fei Ling Sect dominated the North Sea, not a single large spirit stone vein had appeared in the North Sea.
However, back then, the Fei Ling Sect had monopolized four mid-sized spirit stone veins and maintained its position as the overlord of the North Sea.
Of these four medium sized spirit stone veins, two of them were taken as spoils of war by the sects of the North Sea during the great war of Fei Ling Sect. The other one was affected by the war and after the earth veins changed, it was reduced from a medium sized spirit stone vein to a small sized spirit stone vein.
Only the last one was still missing. Some people had guessed that this fourth medium sized spirit stone vein was still on Fei Ling Island and had sunk into the abyss of the sea along with Fei Ling Sect. However, every five hundred years when Fei Ling Island opened, the Blood Condensation Realm cultivators sent out by the sects never found this spirit stone vein.
If it wasn't for Linglong's unique spirit treasure that could inspect the spirit veins on Fei Ling Island and observe many things that couldn't be found on the surface, this spirit stone vein would be concealed by the spirit transferring formation and Ru Yu's artifact spirit. Not even Dabao would be able to find this spirit stone vein.
