Chapter 494 Spiritual Stone Mine
Seeing the Jingshan Rat King's retreat, the entire Jingshan Rat Group lost their fighting spirit. They all retreated in the blink of an eye. However, they were worried that the Rat King was still there and did not dare to retreat too far. They hid in the distance and watched Qingyang. , eyes full of fear. The wave of attacks launched by the Jingshan Rat King did not cause much disturbance to Qingyang except for leaving behind a dozen corpses.
The Jingshan Rat King was extremely unwilling to accept this, and hid in the distance and refused to retreat. However, they could not defeat Qingyang, so they could only form an encirclement, screaming and disturbing Qingyang's mind. Qingyang was too lazy to confront the Mountain Rats, so he left the alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron-armed Monkey to block the Mountain Rats, while he turned around and got into the Nest of the Mountain Rat King behind.
As soon as he entered the cave, Qingyang was attracted by something in one of the corners. Suddenly, countless spiritual lights came into view, almost dazzling his eyes. Looking at the things in the corner, Qingyang couldn't help but open his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time. It turned out that there were two large piles of spiritual stones in this inconspicuous corner.
The larger pile among them is of course the common low-grade spiritual stones. A rough estimate shows that the number is as many as two to three thousand, while the number of the other pile is relatively small, only more than 20 pieces, but they are all middle-grade. The value of high-grade spiritual stones is no worse than that of low-grade spiritual stones.
If you add in the spiritual stones found in another Jingshan Rat's nest, the total number has exceeded six thousand. With these spiritual stones, you can buy more foundation-building pill materials. In this way, it will be ten miles away from the ten points you set before. The goal of collecting 100% of the materials is one step closer. When my cultivation reaches Qi Refining Consummation, I will definitely be able to gather all the remaining materials.
Qingyang quickly came to the spiritual stone pile and was about to collect the spiritual stones in front of him. Suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of a special spiritual stone behind the middle-grade spiritual stone pile. This piece is not much different in appearance from other spiritual stones, but the spiritual power contained in it is extremely surging, almost dozens of times that of a middle-grade spiritual stone, and it must be thousands of times that of a low-grade spiritual stone. degree.
Is this... is this a high-grade spiritual stone? Qingyang could hardly believe his eyes, and quickly took the spiritual stone in his hand, observed it repeatedly, and finally confirmed that it was a high-grade spiritual stone, and it was also the only high-grade spiritual stone in the Jingshan Rat King's lair.
No wonder the Jingshan Rat King tried his best to stop himself. It turns out that there is such a good thing in his lair. The value of this piece is higher than the other two piles of spiritual stones.
A high-grade spiritual stone is worth more than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The key is that this thing is extremely rare. Even if you have tens of thousands of spiritual stones, there is no place to exchange them.
Just from the lair of the Jingshan Rat King, he found more than 10,000 spirit stones. Qingyang was extremely rich among the Qi Refining monks, but he had never seen so many spirit stones at once. Okay, this time it’s really developed.
It was difficult to suppress his excitement. Qingyang was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he quickly put all the spirit stones into the Drunk Immortal Gourd. Only after he had put away the spirit stones did he have the intention to carefully observe the Jingshan Rat King. nest. The lair of the Jingshan Rat King is indeed unusual. The entire cave is not big, but it is neatly decorated. It does not look like a place where ordinary Jingshan Rats live.
In the deepest part of the cave, there is a pile of compacted soft grass, with a lot of gray-yellow hair falling from it. On the edge of the soft grass, there are even some fragments of spiritual grass and spiritual stone. It seems that this is a shocking mountain. Where the Rat King sleeps and eats.
Except for the pile of soft grass and the pile of spiritual stones taken away by Qingyang, the entire Jingshan Rat King's lair was empty, with no other unnecessary things. Although Qingyang obtained a lot of spirit stones, he did not find any spirit stone veins nearby. Could it be that these spirit stones were obtained by the Mountain Rats from other places? Qingyang shook his head, and it seemed that he would continue to search.
Qingyang was about to leave, but suddenly he felt a faint spiritual power coming from the top of his head. This spiritual power was very similar to the spiritual power of the middle-grade spiritual stone. However, when he looked up, he found nothing, so he released With a trace of spiritual thought, he tried to penetrate into the ore layer above his head.
Using spiritual thoughts to penetrate the ore layer is more troublesome than controlling magic weapons, but it is not difficult for a monk like Qingyang in the late stage of Qi training. After he probed his spiritual thoughts into the ore layer, he quickly found the source of the spiritual power. , it turned out that there was a medium-grade spiritual stone more than a foot deep in the ore layer above his head.
Qingyang was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped aside, then took out his green bamboo sword and began to dig the ore layer above his head under the control of his spiritual thoughts. After a few clicks, a cave more than a foot deep was dug out of the ore layer, and the middle-grade spiritual stone fell into Qingyang's hands from above.
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, Qingyang couldn't help but frown. This spirit stone was obviously not buried artificially, which means that it is very likely that this is a spirit stone vein, and it is a spirit stone of high quality. Stone veins, as evidenced by the medium-grade spiritual stone in his hand.
Qingyang's purpose here is to find the spirit stone veins and successfully complete the sect's mission. Now he has finally found a clue, so of course he must hold on tightly. After that, Qingyang stayed in the Jingshan Rat King's lair and spent a whole day using his spiritual thoughts to explore all the surrounding ore layers and found two more spiritual stones.
However, these two spiritual stones were of low quality and were buried very deep. One of them was found after digging a large pit more than ten feet deep in the ground. Although it takes a lot of effort, it also proves that this place is indeed a vein of spiritual stone. If you spend more time, you can always find it.
It seems that everyone's previous guess was correct. They did transmit the spiritual stone vein occupied by the Jingshan Rat Group, which caused the Jingshan Rat Group to attack. However, they were too strong and the Jingshan Rat Group could not do anything to them, but exposed their own nest.
After confirming the spiritual stone vein here, Qingyang bent down and rushed out of the Jingshan Rat King's cave that he had dug into a thousand holes. Outside the cave, the Jingshan Rat Group was still confronting the Alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron Arm Monkey. The Jingshan Rat King tried every means to break through the defense of the Alcoholic Queen Bee and could not rush into his cave to stop Qingyang's sabotage.
Seeing Qingyang, the culprit who destroyed his cave, come out, the Jingshan Rat King's eyes turned red and he organized another attack. The result was the same as before. Except for leaving behind a few Jingshan Rat corpses, it did not cause much trouble to Qingyang.
Calculating the time, there were still five or six days before the agreed time for everyone to meet up, so Qingyang was not in a hurry to go out. Anyway, these mountain rats couldn't do anything to him, so he might as well stay here for a while and wait until the approximate scope of the spirit stone vein was confirmed. It would not be too late to go back then.
