Chapter 288: Innate Limit, Second Martial Vein! (Two in One)
The moon is high in the sky, and the night is charming.
Many glowing beasts poked their heads out among the grass and trees.
Flying insects were flying all over the sky, and it was hazy.
In this vast jungle, there are large stone mountains stretching for dozens of kilometers.
The stone mountains are covered with only a thin layer of tender grass.
The discovered spiritual crystal vein is here.
When night falls, there are still many experienced miners digging deep in the mines.
Such overtime work is also to mine out the spiritual crystals here as soon as possible, so as to avoid more trouble.
These miners were recruited from Leicheng, and each of them has rich mining technology and experience.
Outside the No. 7 mine, more than 300 soldiers are stationed.
A pair of eyes are as bright as torches, staring at the surroundings, always on guard.
Several centurions stood in all four corners of the mine, releasing their perception to each other, completely covering several main roads leading up the mountain outside the mine.
In front of the mine, Fu Yuan sat cross-legged on a large rock, with a silver spear standing upright beside him, the tip of the spear pointing to the sky.
He circulated the innate qi in his body for a week, and ended his practice. Fu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the top of the mine.
On the top of the mine, Song Changming sat there in armor, with a long sword on his back, quietly.
At this moment, the innate qi in his body was overflowing, rising like boiling water.
The earth martial vein that stored the innate qi no longer had room to accommodate it.
This was the innate limit.
The excessive innate qi always needed a new place to accommodate it. Every time it came to this point, it was a breakthrough opportunity to open up the second earth martial vein.
A few days ago, he had already vaguely felt the emergence of this breakthrough opportunity.
Tonight was the perfect time.
"Increase the output!" Song Changming whispered.
In his pocket, in the small black box, there was a small gap.
The ginseng spirit Xiao Jin reluctantly exerted his strength and obediently increased the traction on the spiritual energy.
The next moment, the surrounding spiritual energy accelerated its surge and merged into a faint spiritual mist around him.
The spiritual mist swirled and condensed without dispersing.
The spiritual mist was constantly absorbed into his body. These mottled spiritual energy from the outside world had not been processed yet, but only served as temporary energy for him to impact the second earth martial vein.
If there is no strong and condensed mental power to guide and restrain, it is easy to hurt oneself.
But Song Changming didn't care about these. Having more majestic spiritual energy could form a great help and increase the probability of opening the earth martial vein.
As for the risk of spiritual energy getting out of control, not to mention that his mental power is strong enough, even if it really gets out of control, with his strong body, he can resist it and will not be injured as seriously as ordinary warriors.
"Increase it more!" Song Changming felt that he was still at ease and was not satisfied with this amount of spiritual energy.
Hearing this, Xiao Jin in the black box swung his thin whiskers and gathered all his strength.
A huge amount of spiritual energy was constantly drawn out from the mountain below, and the spiritual mist surrounding Song Changming became denser in an instant.
This is the good thing about being in a spiritual crystal vein.
Countless spiritual crystals are piled up here, causing the quality of spiritual energy scattered here to be almost comparable to that of a blessed land, or even better!
In addition, the mountain ginseng essence on his body acts as a spiritual energy traction, allowing Song Changming to make the most of the spiritual environment here for cultivation.
He was ordered to stay here for nearly a year, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
It was only in just over a year that he cultivated the first innate limit and gained an opportunity for a breakthrough.
The next moment, it felt almost done. In Song Changming's dark sea, the condensed spiritual body kept shaking, releasing his mental power to the utmost, to guide all the innate qi in his body and the spiritual energy he had absorbed to circulate throughout his body.
Just like the last breakthrough, all the innate qi and spiritual energy were condensed and compressed, as if turning into a heavy hammer, bombarding the gate of the second earth martial vein.
The hidden vein was instantly highlighted, but the blocked bottleneck was not opened at once.
Song Changming was not in a hurry. He knew that it was not easy to open the martial vein. He continued to circulate the innate qi and spiritual energy and repeatedly impacted.
Many innate warriors broke through the martial veins in their bodies, but it was not done in one go.
It often requires continuous polishing, repeated failures, and finally it can be broken through with effort.
This process requires warriors to seize several or even dozens of breakthrough opportunities to succeed.
And Song Changming just made his first breakthrough attempt tonight.
Even if it didn't work tonight, it was reasonable.
But he believed that he had the right time, place, and people tonight, and it was possible to break through in one fell swoop!
If he left this spiritual crystal vein, it would be more difficult to break through again.
As the spiritual energy was constantly consumed during the impact, under the guidance of the mountain ginseng spirit Xiaojin, spiritual energy was constantly taken into the body to replenish it.
After repeated impacts, it was unknown how long it had passed, and the blocked earth martial vein finally showed signs of loosening.
"It can be done!" Seeing the signs, Song Changming's confidence increased, and he immediately continued to persist.
His mental power was also rapidly consumed during the breakthrough.
After another stick of incense, seeing that his mental power was about to reach the bottom, at a certain moment, Song Changming seemed to hear a crisp sound.
Something broke in the body!
He only felt his whole body light, and it felt light and fluttering, as if his mind and body would float to the sky together with the wind.
The sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can jump.
The shackles that bound his whole body broke another one tonight!
The second innate martial vein is open!
At this moment, Song Changming seemed to have entered a state of heaven, and his spiritual power had a sympathetic relationship with the heaven and earth!
In this special state of just breaking through, the remaining spiritual energy in his body was quickly refined, transformed into innate energy and incorporated into the second innate martial vein.
More and more spiritual energy was drawn out of the ore vein below, injected into his body, and refined by him together.
This big commotion even alarmed the ordinary miners in the mine.
They looked at the spiritual crystal that suddenly glowed faintly, and the pure white smoke curled around them, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
The hundreds of soldiers stationed outside the cave were even more shocked, and they all checked where this change came from.
Several centurions approached the source, but were stopped by Fu Yuan.
"Go back, don't hinder General Song's breakthrough!"
"Breakthrough?!" Several centurions looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at the scene of spiritual mist filling up the top of the mine.
Among them, Song Changming's figure was sitting cross-legged in it, looming.
"Yes!" The centurion retreated obediently.
Fu Yuan's perception covered the top of the mine, ensuring that no one disturbed Song Changming.
"It's only been more than a year, and this time I have achieved a breakthrough in my innate cultivation. I think my strength must have improved a lot," Fu Yuan said to himself, with a faint smile on his face.
As a teammate of his camp, Song Changming's strength improvement is naturally a good thing.
This spiritual energy phenomenon did not last too long and soon stopped.
Song Changming withdrew from the ethereal state of mind, and just then he realized that the innate qi that had just broken through in the second earth martial vein in his body had increased by about 30% of the previous amount.
"Is it the innate qi that was nurtured in the state just now?" Song Changming was a little uncertain, and he didn't know whether other innate warriors also had this "benefit" after the breakthrough.
Or is it the extra gain of his breakthrough in this spiritual crystal mine?
Song Changming didn't think much about it. No matter what, the surge in innate qi was naturally a good thing for him.
When he raised his hand, a purple gold fire lotus floated above his palm.
The scorching heat seemed to distort a large area of space.
Song Changming felt the terrifying energy fluctuations generated by the fire lotus, as if he was holding a nuclear warhead in his hand. He could detonate it at any time and create a mushroom cloud here!
After the second earth martial vein was opened, his innate energy was refined, and the intensity was much higher than before.
Suppressing the thought of detonation, Song Changming pinched it casually, and the purple gold fire lotus dissipated. He stood up and looked at Fu Yuan in the mine, and bowed.
"Thank you, Brother Fu, for your protection."
He could naturally sense Fu Yuan's spiritual perception, guarding the surroundings for him.
"It's a small matter. I also want to congratulate Brother Song on his breakthrough. Although it's a bit sudden, it's understandable. After all, the opportunity for breakthrough is fleeting and extremely precious. It would be a pity to miss it." Fu Yuan flew to Song Changming and congratulated him with a smile.
"This breakthrough was somewhat unexpected. It seems to have consumed some of the spiritual energy in the mine pit spirit crystal." Song Changming frowned slightly.
"It's okay. I will ask my soldiers not to make this public. These are the spirit crystals that have not been mined yet. They are not recorded in the book, so it won't be a problem." Fu Yuan shook his head.
Song Changming's frown relaxed when he heard this.
If he embezzles spirit crystals privately, it will be a serious crime that is difficult to pardon once it is discovered.
Song Changming used to use the mountain ginseng essence to secretly extract the spiritual energy of the mine veins for his own cultivation.
Today's breakthrough was a bit out of control, causing too much noise. He was a good general and didn't want to be associated with such a serious crime as embezzling spirit crystals.
"Brother Song, consolidate first. There should be nothing to do tonight."
Fu Yuan also knew that the consumption of breaking through cultivation was not small, and it took time to consolidate, so he didn't bother him too much.
"Okay." Song Changming nodded. Consolidation was secondary. At the moment, he really needed to sit in meditation to recover the consumption of the breakthrough.
The mine pit returned to calm, with only the occasional clanging and knocking sounds coming from the mine pit.
The soldiers had long been accustomed to the days of guarding the mine veins at night, and they didn't think it was a big deal.
The only difference tonight was the spiritual energy movement caused by Song Changming's breakthrough in cultivation, which was considered a new thing.
This continued until late at night.
Suddenly, several birds flew over the sky, and only a few flashing black shadows could be seen in the night.
"Hmm?" Fu Yuan, who had closed his eyes, opened his eyes again and looked up.
Those birds circled back and forth several times in the rocky area where the spiritual crystal vein was located.
Just as Fu Yuan was about to make a move, officers from other mines took the lead in controlling the innate energy and flew into the sky, knocking down those birds with strange movements.
"It's a pity that we are a step late, otherwise we might have been able to catch one tonight." A centurion looked at the movement in the sky and said with some regret.
After all, they were in the wild, and ferocious beasts and birds like this would visit this place from time to time.
In order to avoid omissions and accidents, basically these ferocious beasts and birds, if they dared to approach the mine, they would not let them go.
Maybe it was the "eyes" sent by the demon clan.
Fu Yuan saw that the intruding birds had been dealt with, so he closed his eyes again.
In the second half of the night, there was movement from a distance.
Several flying arrows shot into the sky, and suddenly red fireworks exploded in the night sky.
"Huh?" Song Changming was still sitting cross-legged on the top of the mine. Seeing the rising fireworks, he knew that there was life.
"Judging from the distance, it should be a signal from other mines."
At the same time, he also noticed that there was movement in the dense forest and bushes under the stone mountain, approaching the No. 7 mine where they were.
At this time, Fu Yuan had already set off, and his voice floated before he left.
"Brother Song, your cultivation level is still unstable, just stay here, and leave the rest to me."
"."
Under the stone mountain, a dozen soldiers also noticed something was wrong, and they all drew their weapons and pointed them at the dark dense forest below.
The next moment, several black shadows suddenly jumped out of the dense forest without any signs and rushed straight at them.
The soldiers were shocked, and those who were in the Qi Refining Realm reacted quickly, and they all swept out their swords and swords, hitting the black shadows.
A few sharp and piercing whistles, and blood and sticky slurry exploded on the black shadows.
"It's a monster!" The soldiers were shocked and did not dare to hold back. They immediately burst out their internal energy again and hit those black shadows.
They stopped only after the limbs of the black shadows were broken and there was no sound.
Looking closely, those black shadows turned out to be spiders with black glow all over their bodies, as big as millstones, and looked ferocious and scary.
"Fortunately, it's just black spiders," a soldier breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he could say anything more, two centurions flew across the sky from a distance.
"Back off!"
However, before the dozen or so soldiers could make any move, more ferocious spiders in the dense forest pounced on them.
Their legs were like sickles, some were black spiders with all black bodies, and some were more powerful green spiders with green hair all over their bodies.
These green spiders ignored the sword energy that was slashing at them, and they just carried and threw several soldiers who had no time to dodge into the rocks.
With their ferocious mouths wide open, they swallowed the soldiers alive in two or three bites.
"Evil beast!" The centurion was shocked and angry, and he used his innate energy from a distance to blow a green spider to pieces, covering his soldiers to retreat and minimize casualties.
The remaining green spiders were angry and spewed spider silk, not intending to let go of the group of humans in front of them.
All the soldiers who were touched by the spider silk were dragged and could not leave. They were dragged into the dark forest below with screams.
The next moment, there were only screams and the horrible sound of bones and flesh being eaten.
"Damn it!" The two centurions were extremely angry.
Too many soldiers under their command were killed and injured. As the commanders of the soldiers, they had to take responsibility.
Thinking of this, the two centurions rushed to the bottom of the mountain and took decisive action. The innate qi was rampant, and all the black and green spiders that showed up were blown to pieces.
"You are so fierce that you killed all my pets."
At this time, a gentle and charming voice suddenly came from the dense forest, like a beautiful lady at home confiding to her lover.
The next moment, under the protection of many black and green spiders, two tender women twisted their bodies and came slowly.
The woman was wearing a pink gauze dress, holding a scarf in her hand and wearing silk on her shoulders, her beautiful body was faintly visible through the gauze dress.
If the two women were not in the company of these giant spiders, they would have been stunningly beautiful in that city.
The two centurions were unmoved, feeling the terrible demonic aura emanating from the two women, their eyes became even colder and more cautious.
The innate qi in their bodies completely exploded, covering every part of their bodies, and they were on guard against the group of demons that were invading in front of them.
There was no doubt that these two women were the two demon leaders!
With their strength, it was a bit difficult to deal with these two demon leaders.
