The water was icy cold. When Chen Jin tested the temperature of the water with his fingers, he knew that with his current cultivation, he could not go into the water no matter what.
Chen Jin had no choice but to make a trip to the Base of Haierfa.
Due to the frequent occurrence of interstellar wars, the base had mostly built interstellar warships. Submarines had not been updated for a long time. Although it was a relatively backward product, it still surpassed the submarines on Earth in the past. Chen Jin did not think much about it. He used his storage ring to store two or three submarines and returned to the pool.
He put the submarine into the pool. He and the robot boarded the submarine, closed the cabin door, and sank.
There was only a buzzing sound as the submarine descended all the way. At first, there was no other movement in the entire pool except for the sound of the submarine. But as time went by, some fish-shaped spirit beasts slowly appeared in the surroundings. The spirit beasts that lived in such a place had terrible physical strength. They slapped the submarine until it swayed. But Chen Jin was not surprised by this. After all, the entire pool was filled with ultimate neutrinos. These fish monsters were also within his expectations. He could just send a few Yuanying naga robots to kill them.
As they continued to move forward, the water in the pool became more and more terrifying. The water pressure was getting higher and higher, and the water also had a trace of the characteristics of corroding spiritual energy. If the submarine was not a purely technological product without the slightest trace of spiritual energy, the water alone could corrode the submarine until it was covered in rust.
Not long after, Chen Jin's submarine finally reached the limit of the area covered by the ultimate neutrinos.
Any further down the area, the ultimate neutrinos would also lose their effectiveness.
However, in the last area covered by the ultimate neutrinos, there was a seemingly dead tree vine. The tree vine was inserted obliquely into the rock. When the submarine's headlights shone on it, it even reflected a metallic glow. But Chen Jin knew that if a tree vine could not be corroded in such a place, this tree vine was certainly not an ordinary thing.
Chen Jin controlled the submarine's working arm to grab the tree root and bring it back into the submarine. Looking at the tree root in front of him, Chen Jin had never seen such a thing before. It was incomparably hard yet extremely flexible, making one think that it was a tree root cast from steel. But when Chen Jin looked at the fracture of the tree root, he found that the bark and tendons were clearly visible at the fracture. It was very obvious that it was the root of a plant. It seemed that he would not be able to figure out its use for the time being.
Chen Jin could not help but feel a little depressed that he had picked up a useless item after diving for so long. But on second thought, he realized that he was the only one who could dive so deep. If it were someone else, none of the people who could enter the trial grounds had a cultivation level higher than the Foundation Establishment stage. Who could dive so deep?
Although there were no more ultimate neutrinos below, it was a pity to go back after diving so deep. It was better to go down and take a look.
As Chen Jin went deeper and deeper, the water in the pool gradually turned pitch-black. The water was still bone-piercingly cold, and the corrosive effect of the spiritual power became more and more frightening. Even if a cultivator with a high level of cultivation fell into it, his strength would also disappear. He would quickly sink into the water and die in it.
Chen Jin even dared to conclude that no one else except him had been to this place before. After all, if this water came into contact with anything with spiritual power, it would definitely corrode you completely. Unless you were an immortal, and all the magic power in your body had been transformed into immortal power, then you would not have to fear this water.
But Chen Jin did not care. The submarine did not have the slightest bit of spiritual power, and this water would not have any corrosive effect on the submarine at all.
As the submarine sank deeper and deeper, the buzzing sound of the machine became faintly discernible. It was very strange. What was so special about this pool that it could even swallow sound?
With the speed of the submarine built at the Base of Operations, it was more than enough to travel two to three thousand kilometers in an hour. But Chen Jin sat in the submarine and traveled for an hour before he reached the bottom of the pool.
He saw that the silt at the bottom of the pool was absorbing wisps of spiritual power through the pool water. Seeing this, Chen Jin understood that the water in the pool did not have any corrosive properties. It was just that the ability of the silt at the bottom of the pool to absorb spiritual power was too terrifying, allowing the pool water to absorb spiritual power everywhere.
Chen Jin was very curious as he looked at the silt. He did not know why some of the silt's ability to absorb spiritual power was so terrifying. So, he threw a low-grade spirit stone into the pool. Before the spirit stone could fall into the silt, its spiritual power was sucked dry by the pool water in an instant, leaving only a white stone in the silt.
Strange, this silt was too strange. If he got out of the submarine, he was afraid that he would be sucked dry by the pool water in an instant. Then, he would be crushed into powder by the terrifying pressure in the water.
Chen Jin thought to himself, I have to get some silt to study it.
So, Chen Jin operated the mechanical arm and grabbed a little bit of silt into the secret compartment of the submarine. As it was separated from him by a very thick alloy plate, it could not absorb the magic power in his body.
Chen Jin's research method was also very simple. Didn't this thing like to absorb spiritual power? Anyway, he lacked everything except spirit stones. He wanted to see how much spiritual power this thing could absorb.
In an instant, Chen Jin put more than 300 top-grade spirit stones into the secret compartment where the silt was placed. The spiritual power of top-grade spirit stones was huge and incomparably pure. Chen Jin did not believe that a mere silt could absorb all of it.
But what Chen Jin never expected was that in just a short while, more than 300 top-grade spirit stones had collectively turned white. After persevering for a while, these spirit stones completely turned white.
Chen Jin was stunned by this scene. Since when was it so easy to absorb the spiritual energy of a top-grade spirit stone?
Gritting his teeth, Chen Jin cleaned up the spirit stones that had turned white from being absorbed. He took out 2,000 top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and stuffed the entire secret compartment to the brim. Since you can absorb it, I'll let you absorb as much as you want in one go.
According to the absorption speed of the silt, 2,000 spirit stones would only take the time to drink a cup of tea. After that time, most of the spirit stones had been absorbed and turned white, leaving only one or two that still had the luster of spiritual power. The silt was buried in the pile of spirit stones and disappeared without a trace.
After another cup of tea's time, there was still spiritual power in the spirit stones. Only then did Chen Jin know that the silt could no longer absorb spiritual power.
The corner of Chen Jin's mouth twitched secretly. This was too scary. Such a small handful of silt had actually absorbed more than 2,300 top-grade spirit stones. If the entire pool of silt absorbed spiritual power, how many spirit stones would it be?
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. With a wave of his hand, the white spirit stones were swept aside, leaving only the silt that had absorbed spiritual power.
He carefully sized up these "monsters" that ate spirit stones. The silt no longer looked like silt. The state of absorbing spiritual power was very much like a puddle of jelly. It was completely different from the previous silt form. Chen Jin rubbed it. It felt similar to spirit soil. After all, it was still mud. He did not know what it was used for.
That's right, spirit soil. This thing was silt, and silt was also soil. Wouldn't you know after planting something?
With a raise of his hand, a few Dragon's Beard appeared on the silt.
