”What a pity, it's just a Rank Two spirit mine!” After carefully inspecting the area, Qin Lie took care of his own business and muttered to himself as he looked towards the two camps. He thought to himself, these hundreds of thousands of men, even the mines have not been accurately explored.
After a moment of silence, Qin Lie silently sighed, and then held his breath as he focused again, watching the crack beneath his feet. The Spiritual Stone here were scattered all over the place, and he didn't want to waste any time searching for them. They were only searching for the possible location of the nucleus. In the end, it was rather satisfying. Every single ore core was formed from the essence of the entire lode. The surroundings were usually filled with Spiritual Stone s and vast amounts of Spiritual Energy s.
At this moment, the cracks that had appeared beneath his feet were almost completely clear. With just a slight sweep of his eyes, he could easily distinguish where the rich Spiritual Energy was. And there was only one possible location for Spiritual Stone cores to exist within.
It was just that among the several cracks, there was a single cut that was filled with strange spirit energy, so Qin Lie was unable to find out what happened afterwards.
”Could it be that there is a hidden river here?” Qin Lie looked at Broken Marks, then suddenly thought of a possibility, causing him to feel a headache, but luckily he had confirmed his guess, and that it would take more effort.
They ran towards the south, shuttled through the dense forest, and only stopped after reaching a distance of twenty kilometers away. At this moment, Duan Yun's face was filled with bewilderment. In one night, he was running around the mountain with Qin Lie.
Just as Qin Lie was about to pull out his own Rushing Thunder Sword and start digging, he suddenly remembered that he was a Profound Arts Master with Soul Mirror Realm. Why would he need to do it himself?
With a thought, Qin Lie found three more pieces of granite that were of good quality and were about the height of a person. He first used spirit ink to draw the array glyphs, then buried five Rank 3 Earth Type Beast Crystals, and then added two Beast Soul Stones. As soon as he spoke the words, Qin Lie formed a seal with his hand. The three pieces of granite immediately split apart. The heads and limbs appeared one after another. After a while, three large stone puppets suddenly stood up from the ground. ”He was about twenty feet tall, tall, and sturdy.
Although the three stone puppets were placed in Soulstone s, they did not have any consciousness of their own. It could only be controlled by Qin Lie with a few wisps of his intent. To him, it was also an incomparably novel experience.
At first, because he was inexperienced, the stone puppet was shaken, and fell a few times.
After Qin Lie familiarized himself with the method, an hour had already passed. First he stretched his legs and spread his arms. Then, he walked to the place that Qin Lie had pointed out and began to dig with his stone arms.
Other than its slightly clumsy movements, the stone puppet's strength was unimaginable. It had the strength of at least 20,000 pounds. Every time the stone palm dug down, it would dig up a large amount of dirt. In just a moment, he had dug down a full hundred feet. When he came across a hard boulder that was difficult to break open, Qin Lie would forcefully break it open with his Rushing Thunder Sword.
”This rock puppet is really not bad!” The Profound Arts Master's mystical arts and spirit arts are truly wondrous, unpredictable, and extremely useful. It is also extremely useful — ”
The digging speed was extremely fast. It took them less than an hour to reach the bottom with ease.
Here was a natural underground tunnel that was about five Zhang tall. Below it was a shallow stream.
Right now, his Red-tailed Lion was lurking not too far away. It guarded the holes on the outside.
Without hesitation, Qin Lie jumped down from the top with the three stone puppets. On both sides of the passageway, there were twinkling stars from time to time. They were densely packed, and each of them was a different color crystal.
At this point, Duan Yun more or less understood what Qin Lie meant. Following Qin Lie, the moment he jumped into the river below, he looked around in shock at the sparkling crystals.
”Brother Qin, could this be a Spiritual Stone?” Duan Yun thought that if he dug out all these crystals, wouldn't that mean he had profited a lot? A Spiritual Stone, even the lowest level one, would be priced at ten times the price of a first level Beast Crystal.
Qin Lie laughed involuntarily and continued onward. If Spiritual Stone were so easy to find, they wouldn't be so expensive.
The crystals here could actually be considered Spiritual Stone s. However, it was of little use if it was not ranked in the first place. Even Profound Arts Master before the Soul Observation Realm were disdainful to use it.
In the eyes of others, perhaps it was an unimaginable amount of wealth, but in his eyes, it was the same as trash. He really didn't have the time to care about it.
However, as he continued to advance, he spread out his soul remembrance in all directions and searched up and down this underground tunnel.
This place was underground. Although a cold wind was blowing, it did not cause much harm to the Soul. Usually, Qin Lie would only be able to extend his soul power tentacles thirty meters outside of his body, but now that he had extended it thirty meters, he did not feel any difficulty, but he was unable to penetrate deep into the ground.
”Profound Arts Master with Soul Mirror Realm, can stretch the Soul Consciousness one Zhang into the ground. His Nocturnal Wandering had tripled, reaching a size of ten meters. Upon reaching the Yang Reversion Realm, one would be able to reach a depth of ten Zhang. And once one reached the Sun Tour, they would be able to reach three hundred meters! At that realm, where could the Spiritual Stone be found in the Spiritual Stone mine? All one needed to do was to use one's will to sweep through it, and that was truly enviable. However, this technique can only be used in low-grade mines. For large-scale mines, not only is it the embodiment of the Spiritual Energy, it is also extremely difficult to approach the soul remembrance of the Profound Arts Master … ”
Qin Lie's Soul Consciousness could only enter the layer of dirt for around three and a half meters. In this scope of investigation, the chances of finding the Spiritual Stone were extremely rare. He tried to think away, but he didn't hold any hope.
There were many forks in the road here. Within a short distance of ten miles, there were more than ten forks in the road.
When he reached a corner in the underground tunnel, Qin Lie's eyes suddenly lit up. He commanded the three stone golems to dig to the side. After digging around half a meter above the stone wall, a few dark blue translucent crystals appeared from within. There were exactly three of them, each about the size of a fist.
Duan Yun was also slightly shocked, he immediately discovered that these blue colored transparent crystals were different from the various crystals on the two sides.
It was bright and transparent, and the power of the Spiritual Energy inside it was several times greater than the surrounding crystals. If one were to look carefully, they would be able to see that something that seemed to be liquid was slowly flowing within it. The pure origin energy and soul energy contained within could be easily refined and absorbed into one's body without leaving behind any problems.
Duan Yun was startled for a moment, but he did not dare confirm it. After a while, he asked hesitantly: ”Brother Qin Lie, are these Level 4 Crystals?”
”Above Third Rank, not even the fourth stage! But it's already pretty good! ”
Qin Lie casually put it into his waist pouch with an indifferent expression. The Spiritual Stone of the Third Rank could definitely compare to the Beast Crystal of the fourth stage. Although he could use this water attribute Spiritual Stone, it was not the kind that he wanted the most.
However, this place was indeed close to the core!
A medium-sized second stage vein, could only produce Spiritual Stone with Third Rank at the most abundant location of the Spiritual Energy!
He continued to walk forward, and after walking for roughly a hundred meters, Qin Lie made the three puppets stop.
The crack that the previous cracks showed was here. However, looking at this place, he couldn't find any reason for the Spiritual Energy to split. Just by sensing it a little, the Spiritual Energy of the heaven and earth here was also incomparably majestic, and there were no differences.
”Could it be that the core has already been taken away?” However, this place does not have any traces of being dug out.
Qin Lie frowned, his heart was filled with suspicions. On the stone wall, another Spiritual Array was drawn, following the pattern of a gourd.
This time, the drawn runes were even more exquisite and pure. As for the four Earth attribute Third Rank Beast Crystal, he would also try his best to choose the more pure one and embed it within.
