"Fireball Art!" Lu Xiaotian tossed it casually.
"Huh?" Soon after, Lu Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise. The fireball he tossed out was the size of a bowl, and its speed was several times faster than before. With a loud boom, a huge piece of ore was blasted into powder. He could not help but gape at the power of the explosion.
At the same time, Lu Xiaotian felt a slight fluctuation in his Dantian, as if something had suddenly appeared.
Lu Xiaotian hurriedly retracted his Divine Sense. He discovered that a red circular mark flashing with crystal light had appeared in his Dantian.
"Dharma Seal!" Lu Xiaotian rummaged through his memories, and finally remembered the records of Dantian anomalies in an ancient book. In ancient times, Spirit Stones were abundant, and there was a very powerful Dharma Cultivator among the cultivators. Their Dharma Spells were extremely powerful, and similarly had the power to overturn rivers and seas. They were in no way inferior to cultivators who walked the path of battle techniques. Extremely powerful Dharma Cultivators often had a great advantage over cultivators of the same level. The most obvious characteristic of these cultivators was that they formed Dharma Seals in their Dantian.
To be able to cultivate the Dharma Seal, one had to rely on years of hard work and a deeper understanding of magic.
But now, Dharma Cultivators were practically extinct. The most important point was that Spirit Stones were far less abundant than in ancient times. After countless generations of cultivators' consumption, all kinds of Spirit Objects of Heaven and Earth became scarce. In ancient times, Foundation Establishment Pills were easy to obtain, and there were even more Jin Dan cultivators than there were now. Therefore, cultivators could cultivate without any distractions.
But now, Lu Xiaotian only did a rough calculation, and found that the Spirit Stones he used to practice Dharma Spells in the mine had already consumed more than ten thousand pieces. In the outside world, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would find it difficult to come up with such a sum of Spirit Stones. It was almost impossible to give it to a descendant or disciple to cultivate Dharma Spells.
Yu Bao had been in the mine for almost two years, and four years had passed since he left.
"Aooo …" A leopard's roar that shocked all the miners echoed through the dozens of mines. With the passage of time, the leopard had grown into a Rank Three Spirit Beast after being fed a large amount of High Rank Beast Spirit Pills. In the mine, he was invincible. Even if Lu Xiaotian wanted to deal with the leopard, he would have to put in a lot of effort.
At this time, Weng Zhihan, along with the leopard and two bags of spirit stones, respectfully arrived at the entrance of a secret cave. Ever since Leopard's strength had increased, he had been able to intimidate the leaders of the major miners. Lu Xiaotian's appearance had become even rarer. It was rare for the mine to be peaceful in the past few years.
"Young Master Lu!" Weng Zhihan respectfully called out from outside the cave.
"Yes!" Before Weng Zhihan could react, he saw a black shadow flash by. Unknowingly, Lu Xiaotian was already within a few feet of him.
Weng Zhihan was shocked, but he quickly regained his composure. Six years had passed since Lu Xiaotian entered the cave. At this time, Lu Xiaotian had changed from a childish boy to a tall young man. His appearance didn't change too much. He wasn't handsome, but he still had some delicate features. However, Lu Xiaotian was only a Rank Six Qi Practitioner at that time. Although he gave Weng Zhihan a sharp feeling, it wasn't too strong.
But now that Weng Zhihan was a Rank Seven Qi Practitioner, he couldn't sense Lu Xiaotian's specific cultivation. He couldn't help but be shocked. He felt that Lu Xiaotian was unfathomable.
The corner of Lu Xiaotian's mouth twitched. He was using a combination of Light Body Technique and Imperial Wind Technique. Compared to the Imperial Wind Technique, it was more than twice as fast.
In the past six years, he had consumed hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the mine. Even for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this amount of spirit stones was an astronomical figure. He had finally cultivated the Five Elements Dharma Seal. At the same time, he was quite proficient in Wind, Thunder, and Ice.
But for him, everything was based on increasing his strength and participating in the next round of the Minor Inter-Sect Competition. It was impossible to cultivate combat skills in the mine. Under the threat of Qian Dali, he couldn't enter and leave the mine at will. He didn't want to bring a fatal disaster to himself. The external environment forced him to work on various kinds of Dharma Seals.
Ever since he cultivated the Five Elements Dharma Seal, he could almost instantaneously cast the beginner level Dharma Seals of each element. His speed was several times faster than other cultivators. While the power was greater, the Dharma power consumption was also greatly reduced.
Magic weapons were forbidden in the Minor Inter-Sect Competition. Otherwise, there would be no need for the competition. The Foundation Establishment Pills of the Divine Cloud Palace would be directly reserved by the disciples or blood relatives of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Rogue Cultivators wouldn't rack their brains to join the various Cultivation Sects.
Now Lu Xiaotian was confident that he could win a place in the Minor Inter-Sect Competition based on his attainments in Dharma Seals. In addition, he also prepared a few trump cards, which might be of great use at a critical moment.
"Young Master Lu, these are the Spirit Stones that the foremen of the mine have offered this month." Weng Zhihan handed the bag to Lu Xiaotian.
"Well, this Spirit Sword and this bottle of Elixir Pills are your rewards for working for me for these years." Lu Xiaotian gave Weng Zhihan the Upper Grade Spirit Sword and a bottle of Black Flower Elixir for the later stage of Qi Refining.
"Young Master Lu, are you planning to leave the mine?" Weng Zhihan's body trembled. He naturally knew what Lu Xiaotian's Spirit Sword and Black Flower Elixir meant.
"Well, in only half a year, the Minor Inter-Sect Competition will begin. Only by winning the Foundation Establishment Elixir in the Minor Inter-Sect Competition can I have a chance to successfully build my foundation."
Lu Xiaotian nodded. More than six years had passed since he entered the mine. With the help of White Dew Elixir and Black Flower Elixir, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation speed was very fast. He climbed from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. Now he was twenty years old and had already completed the Qi Refining Realm. In the last Minor Inter-Sect Competition, his cultivation was too low and he was not qualified at all. This time, after more than six years of hard work, his strength was not what it used to be. No matter what, he had to win a place.
Before the Minor Inter-Sect Competition, he had to make some preparations and collect detailed information about the Qi Refining experts of the Divine Cloud Palace. It was better to be prepared. There was no need to stay in the Blackwater Stockade mine any longer.
As for the reason why he gave his only Upper Grade Spirit Sword to Weng Zhihan, it was because Weng Zhihan had helped him weave an Ice Silk Silkworm Armor. In addition to being a reward for Weng Zhihan's work for him all these years and saving him a lot of trouble, it was also a kind of test.
He always felt that Weng Zhihan was hiding some secrets. This person was not as simple as he seemed. If it were another person, he might have lost his mind and attacked him. After all, he did not have a weapon in his hand now. Weng Zhihan was already at the later stage of Qi Refining. There was a gap in cultivation, but the Upper Grade Spirit Sword in his hand was enough to make up for this gap. Before Weng Zhihan entered the mine, he was even a master who had completed the Qi Refining Realm after many hardships. Later, he was plotted against by Qian Dali and his cultivation regressed. He must have some tricks up his sleeve.
