Chapter 642 - Startled Gate of Heaven (1/2)

The black stone was a Spirit Stone.

A Spirit Stone!

Spirit Stones were the most basic and most important resources for the cultivation community. The pure Spirit Qi stored inside could be absorbed by beginners and used to increase their power. They were essential for cultivation, array formation, pills refinement, artifact crafting and building.

Chen Fan thought the Spirit Qi on Earth didn’t favor the formation of Spirit Stones at all and only normal jades existed, and yet a Spirit Stone was right there.

“…Yingzhou Island, a hundred miles… Ganoderma Spirit Herbs and jades…”

The pa.s.sage on the stele came to Chen Fan’s mind again.

Chen Fan had seen the Ganoderma Spirit Herbs and had wondered where the jades were. He then realized that those weren’t jades, but Spirit Stones!

“The Spirit Qi in a Spirit Stone is ten times more than a supreme-grade jade and it’s really useful for my cultivation. If I can locate the Spirit Stone Mine…”

Chen Fan couldn’t wait.

He immediately asked the eagle where it found the Spirit Stone.

The eagle sent out its Soul Energy and told Chen Fan that those stones were mostly hidden in the soil. Any creature that found and ate them would get great benefits and might even evolve.

“No wonder I didn’t see any Spirit Stones before. They’re all underground.”

Chen Fan quickly infused his Immortal Will into the soil to see what was down there.

His Immortal Will was extremely dense and could go a hundred feet underground. Although the friction increased as it went deeper and it was blocked by the power of the array, Chen Fan wasn’t affected at all by this.

“I won’t have to travel around the world if I can find a Spirit Stone Mine. The Spirit Qi a Spirit Stone carries can help me become a Connate Cultivator and even allow me to complete my Azure Thearch Longevity Body!”

Chen Fan was thrilled.

The Azure Thearch Longevity Body was one of the peak-stage Divine Bodies in the universe. Its power was unimaginable and it wasn’t something a normal Spirit Body could compare to. At the initial success level, it was already strong enough to kill a Connate Cultivator without using any weapons.

Chen Fan had a Connate Core which wasn’t enough to achieve a complete Azure Thearch Longevity Body, so he could only exhibit a tenth of the real power.

“An initial-success Divine Body can kill a Connate Cultivator with bare hands and might even be able to resist attacks from nuclear weapons. My current body is strong but I still have a long way to go until I can achieve a real initial-success Divine Body,” Chen Fan thought as he sped up his Immortal Will.

“Whoosh.”

As he searched, a hidden mine came into Chen Fan’s view. The mine was located a hundred meters below the ground and he would have missed it if it wasn’t for the eagle.

“A Spirit Stone Mine is naturally formed, so even the Earth Level Deities can only take away the Spirit Stones but not the Spirit Veins. Looks like they left something here for me after all.”

After discovering the mine, Chen Fan cracked a smile.

“Art of Earth-Digging!”

Chen Fan activated the Five Thunder Seal and used the Art of Earth-Digging. A ray of yellow light instantly came out from the seal and s.h.i.+ned on Chen Fan. Chen Fan’s body then spinned and drilled in the ground, while the rocks, soil and roots all made way for him.

“Boom, boom.”

Chen Fan arrived at the Spirit Stone mine in a blink.

He saw a tunnel filled with black stones.

This tunnel was only dozens of meters long and could only be regarded as a small pile of Spirit Stones in the Cultivation Realm, but it was like a treasure to Chen Fan.

“I can mine thousands of Spirit Stones around here. Even though these are just normal Spirit Stones, they’re good enough to help me achieve the Connate level.”

There was excitement in Chen Fan’s eyes.

A Spirit Stone carried ten times the Spirit Qi in a supreme-grade jade and ten of them would be comparable to a Divine Crystal. So, thousands of Spirit Stones would be equal to hundreds of Divine Crystals, which would be an amount comparable to the secret treasures of several Earth Level Deities.

Chen Fan made a quick decision. “I need to stay here and cultivate immediately.”

“Swis.h.!.+”

He used his Dharmic powers to mine the Spirit Stones out from the ground, then he built a wooden shed and started cultivating.

The entire island was secured and no outsiders could get in so Chen Fan didn’t have to worry about trespa.s.sers. The five Divine Sea Beasts were quite helpful to him.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

He held a Spirit Stone in his hand and started cultivating.

All of his cells were absorbing the pure Spirit Qi and it was extremely soothing. He hadn’t received such pure Spirit Qi in years.

Chen Fan had already given up on Spirit Stones and started looking for energy of a higher level when he became an Immortal State Warrior in his previous life. And yet, he hadn’t even seen one after his rebirth, so he felt really comfortable and fresh after absorbing the energy.

“Patter.”

About an hour later, the Spirit Stone turned from black to transparent, meaning that the Spirit Qi inside had been used up.

Chen Fan then picked up another Spirit Stone and continued with his cultivation.
