Chapter 349 Super Large Spiritual Stone Mine (3700 Words)
More than ten days later, Leikong Island
"Goodbye, dear guest!"
Jiang Yun, disguised as a foundation-building cultivator, walked out of a shop called Fenglin Pavilion on Leikong Island, holding a map of the nearby 100,000-li sea area in his hand.
After leaving the shop, Jiang Yun walked towards the east gate of the small town. Because the city was set up with a forbidden air formation, Jiang Yun had to leave the city gate before he could fly.
When Jiang Yun first arrived at Leikong Island, he was a little surprised, because the lively scene of tens of thousands of cultivators was completely different from what he had expected.
Jiang Yun asked the shop owner and found out that the island was already located deep in the open sea. Human forces had expanded to this place not long ago, including the dozens of nearby islands, which were occupied in the last one or two hundred years.
Although Leikong Island currently covers an area of thousands of miles and has excellent spiritual veins, it currently has only one small town with tens of thousands of residents, less than two thousand cultivators, and only three Jindan cultivators.
Jiang Yun understood the situation after a little thought.
In his memory, Han Li came to Leikong Island two or three hundred years later when his cultivation reached the late Nascent Soul stage. The development of any force takes time.
After walking out of the city gate, he did not encounter any troubles such as being followed.
Jiang Yun came to mine this time, so he naturally did not want to attract attention. Therefore, when Jiang Yun observed that the power of Leikong Island was weak, he decisively suppressed his cultivation to the foundation-building stage.
After flying hundreds of miles away from Leikong Island, Jiang Yun habitually disappeared.
No one on the entire island would care about a foundation-building cultivator who bought a map.
Jiang Yun, who was still invisible, was flying over the sea and saw a huge monster in the distance.
It was a giant island with several huge peaks that reached the sky.
"It should be here, Jufeng Island." Jiang Yun thought to himself.
Jiang Yun bought a map in the store before and found that there was no island called Biling Island in it.
Jiang Yun was a little panicked at first, but soon realized that the island would not run away. The only possibility was that the name of the island might have changed, and Biling Island might have been changed later.
In Jiang Yun's memory, Biling Island was a huge island with several high peaks, but there was no spiritual energy on the surface.
There are not many giant islands, whether in the inner sea or the outer sea, and the characteristics are so obvious that Jiang Yun soon spotted this Jufeng Island on the map.
Soon Jiang Yun flew to Jufeng Island.
Looking at this endless island that looked like land, Jiang Yun took a deep breath and used his spiritual pupil.
"Hiss~~"
Jiang Yun took a breath of cold air as soon as he opened his spiritual pupil and quickly covered his eyes. After a while, he opened them again.
Jiang Yun finally knew what it meant to be blinded by the light today!
The spiritual power groups composed of tens of thousands of insect disasters under the Luoyan Mountains before were really small compared to this one.
At this time, Jiang Yun's eyes were slightly red, but he could not hide the excitement on his face, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly curl up.
The moment he opened his spiritual pupil just now, his eyes were covered with countless bright spiritual lights.
The specific description is that it is a vast ocean composed of spiritual lights, and the whole sight is colorful.
Among them, three light spots also stand out in this ocean of spiritual light like little suns.
Jiang Yun knew that the three should be the best spiritual stones.
Jiang Yun had previously guessed that there might be more than one best spiritual stone in this spiritual stone mine, and it turned out to be true.
Unable to contain his excitement, Jiang Yun flew towards the highest mountain, because the three best spiritual stones were all located below that mountain, and it was also the place where the spiritual stones were most densely distributed on the entire island.
Jiang Yun used his spiritual sense to observe and found that the entire island did not show any trace of spiritual veins from the outside, and the entire island was bare, without even plants.
The highest mountain seemed to be right in front of him, but it took Jiang Yun an incense stick of time to fly to the foot of the mountain with his escape technique, which shows how huge the island is.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yun waved his hand, and Wu Yan appeared in his palm.
Jiang Yun touched the smooth shell and whispered. "Wu Yan, use the escape technique with all your strength, and the direction is right down."
Wu Yan, whose cultivation had reached the third level, made a strange cry, and his whole body began to emit yellow spiritual light.
A few breaths later, a yellow light flashed, and Jiang Yun disappeared without a trace.
After several earth escape spells, Jiang Yun had come to a depth of more than ten miles underground.
If standing on the surface of the island is a barren land without spiritual energy, then deep underground is a completely different world, and the concentration of spiritual energy is beyond imagination.
Jiang Yun was not in a hurry to mine, but spent three days using magic to expand five underground spaces.
Each of these spaces covers an area of about ten acres and is more than five feet high. The rock walls in all directions have been reinforced with magic and talismans to prevent them from collapsing.
In addition, dozens of millstone-sized holes were left in all directions of each underground space.
These five underground spaces are evenly distributed underground on Biling Island, and are all in places where spiritual stones are densely concentrated.
Jiang Yun stepped on the solid ground under his feet and nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at a pile of spiritual stones on an open space, two of which were shining, and were obviously larger than the other spiritual stones the size of a baby's fist.
Jiang Yun sighed: "Not only the scale, but also the density of spirit stones is amazing. So many spirit stones were dug out from such a small area."
"Small and medium-sized spirit stone mines do not exist at all. A medium-sized spirit stone mine can only dig out a few high-quality spirit stones a year, but it was easy to dig out."
High-quality spirit stones are also called high-level spirit stones. Theoretically, the value of a high-quality spirit stone is equal to one hundred medium-quality spirit stones or ten thousand low-quality spirit stones.
But in reality, if you want to exchange for a high-quality spirit stone, it is difficult to get it even if you pay fifteen thousand or even twenty thousand low-quality spirit stones.
The main reason is that top-grade spirit stones are very, very rare. Some special formations, secret techniques, and treasures must be driven and activated by top-grade spirit stones.
Jiang Yun took out more than ten top-grade spirit beast bags from his sleeves and threw them into the air.
As he made hand gestures, countless white furry little guys came out of the spirit beast bags.
Squeak~~squeak~~squeak~~~~
The number of little guys increased, and soon a large area of this underground space was covered with white.
Jiang Yun always planned before he acted. Since he knew that one of the purposes of coming to Chaos Star Sea was this spirit stone mine, he naturally had to prepare in advance.
Before leaving, Jiang Yun borrowed all the remaining gold-sniffing rats from his Taoist partner Xuejian, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled were not spared and were swept away by him.
Lu Xuejian was very happy about this, because there were too many spirit rats, which reduced her burden.
Lu Xuejian also asked Jiang Yun if he would take earth spirit rats, because there were more earth spirit rats.
When Jiang Yun asked whether the earth spirit rats loved digging holes, Lv Xuejian hesitated and kept silent.
Finally, Jiang Yun sighed and pointed out that the cultivation of spirit beasts requires the absorption of spiritual energy. If there are too many spirit rats, the spiritual energy of the Lingxi Valley will become thinner and thinner.
Lv Xuejian actually understood, because she had realized that the things planted in the spiritual fields had grown slowly in recent years, and even cultivation had been affected, but she still couldn't bear to sell them for spiritual stones.
Looking at the hesitant Taoist partner, Jiang Yun gave her a night of ideological education and finally softened his heart.
Finally, he promised to give them a good place, so he took away most of the earth spirit rats, the number of which was close to two thousand.
These earth spirit rats were eventually thrown into Qingsen by Jiang Yun.
Less than a month after being thrown into Qingsen, most of the earth spirit rats were eaten by the three major tribes of Qingfeng Beast, Qinghuo Wolf, and Sanwei Lujun.
Those who survived gradually adapted to this harsh environment. After all, earth spirit rats can dig holes, and as long as they stay alert and run fast enough, they can still survive.
Maybe it was because of the crisis-ridden environment. Although the number of these earth spirit rats was far less than when they lived peacefully in Lingxi Valley, the proportion of earth spirit rats that learned earth escape technique increased rapidly.
This was really a pleasant surprise.
It can only be said that no matter whether it was a person or a rat, they had to be pushed to make progress!
However, Jiang Yun was not paying attention to the earth spirit rats now, but these hardworking white little cuties in front of him.
When Jiang Yun set out for Chaos Star Sea, he had more than 900 gold sniffing rats.
Jiang Yun was much richer than Lu Xuejian, and he knew that these little cuties were very useful, so he provided good food.
In the past six months or so in Chaos Star Sea, more than 500 scouts were added.
After these gold sniffing rats came out, they were actually a little excited. Their innate ability was to explore spiritual mines. Obviously, they had already noticed the current deep environment.
Looking at the densely packed little cuties squeaking and screaming, Jiang Yun showed a kind smile like a black-hearted boss.
Jiang Yun clapped his hands, and the little cuties all looked over. A few of them who were slow to react were also reminded by their companions next to them.
Jiang Yun pointed out all the level 2 gold sniffing rats and asked them to come forward.
Soon, these little guys, who were nearly twice as big as the others of the same species, ran to the front, with a total of 24.
Jiang Yun first signed a spiritual pet contract with each of them. The purpose of this contract is to understand the direction and know life and death, and there is no other function.
He released Qinghuo to act as a translator and began to speak.
"You should have discovered that we are in a large spiritual stone mine. I know you are all hardworking little guys."
"Next, your task is to dig spiritual stones and move them to such an underground space. There are four such underground spaces in other places."
"Awoo~~Awoo~~~" Qinghuo translated on the side.
Squeak~squeak~squeak~~
Most of the gold sniffing rats present were eager to try, and it was obvious that their blood made them extremely fond of mining.
However, the bodies of dozens of little guys who had been to the underground of Luoyan Mountain Range with Jiang Yun trembled slightly, and they obviously thought of something.
Jiang Yun continued, "Ahem, you will be divided into 24 teams later. Each Level 2 Spiritual Rat will lead a team to dig spiritual stones. No matter how much you dig, I will ensure that you are full."
Squeak~squeak~squeak~
The gold-sniffing rats cried out in joy.
Jiang Yun smiled and continued, "In addition, there are extra rewards for good performance! I have decided to reward the ten teams that dig out the most spiritual stones every month with a green-veined date for the entire team!"
"Each gold-sniffing rat that digs out such a high-quality spiritual stone will be given a green-veined date!"
Jiang Yun took out a date with a green spiritual light and a fist-sized high-quality spiritual stone.
Good guy, a high-quality spiritual stone that is actually worth nearly 20,000 low-quality spiritual stones is rewarded with a green-veined date worth one spiritual stone.
But the gold-sniffing rats were boiling!
Many of the little cuties who were born not long ago were too stupid to understand what was going on, but they were also affected and shouted excitedly.
Afterwards, Jiang Yun dispersed the 24 teams into five underground spaces and determined the location for each team to store the spirit stones.
Jiang Yun deeply understood that organized work and giving extra rewards were the best ways to improve work efficiency.
Jiang Yun was very satisfied watching the gold-sniffing rats running in and out of the cave with full energy, bringing back one piece of spirit stone after another.
A month passed like this, and during this period, the excavation encountered some problems.
First, there are some demon insects underground. Although they are not powerful individuals, they will affect the progress, which Jiang Yun will never allow.
Therefore, Jiang Yun released all the Yunjun and Zichong to patrol and hunt demon insects.
Yunjun has the ability to communicate and detect with the wind, so there is no need to worry about them getting lost. They will come back to eat when they are hungry.
Zichong, as insects, will not starve to death if they get lost. They can just gnaw on the spiritual stones.
And because there is abundant spiritual energy in the spiritual stone mine, it will not delay their cultivation.
Secondly, Jiang Yun began to dislike the slow excavation speed.
Although the gold-sniffing rats have been working hard and can dig out tens of thousands of spiritual stones every day, the stock of this spiritual stone mine is too terrifying. At this speed, it may take several years to dig it out.
So Jiang Yun has a new trick. Each gold-sniffing rat team is equipped with fifty earth spirit rats. These earth spirit rats are responsible for carrying work, so the gold-sniffing rats do not need to run back and forth, but only need to dig.
The Gold Sniffing Rat Team was a little worried that these earth spirit rats would move the spirit stones to the wrong place and move them to other teams, so they sent young gold sniffing rats whose claws had not yet grown and could not dig to keep an eye on them.
In this way, the excavation progress began to soar.
Jiang Yun also began a leisurely life of collecting spirit stones and giving rewards every month.
Even the task of exchanging a high-quality spirit stone for a date was thrown to Wu Yan, who had several storage bags hanging on his body, with countless green-striped dates.
Jiang Yun also found that Wu Yan was secretly giving spirit dates to the gold sniffing rat cubs to eat, and Jiang Yun smiled slightly and pretended not to see it.
Therefore, Wu Yan became the most popular person in the spirit stone mine.
