60 Xuanyuan Dune (1/2)
Chapter 1572: Xuanyuan Dune
Yi Yun's cultivation lasted three days and three nights. Due to the limited energy, he made sure to absorb every wisp of Yuan Qi completely, wasting not one bit.
It had been years since Yi Yun had to be so frugal. Back in the Sinkhole, he always used supreme-grade pills and artifacts. Spirit Pills that people prepared for their breakthrough to become Godly Monarchs were used for his Divine Lord breakthrough.
”Although my body has regained a bit of strength, my dantian feels even emptier.” The feeling of an empty dantian was similar to the way mortals felt on an empty stomach. When mortal warriors were starving, they had the feeling that they could eat an entire horse. And now, Yi Yun felt he could eat an entire Ancient Fey.
He cultivated his body, and as his Dragon Emperor bloodline had evolved as a result of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation, the hunger of his body inundated him with the recovery of his strength.
Yi Yun leaped out of the God Advent Tower's space as he phased away, appearing outside Tie Mu's room.
”Brother Tie Mu!”
”Brother Yi, you are done with your seclusion?” Tie Mu quickly walked out of his room when he heard Yi Yun's voice. Ever since Yi Yun saved the day by preventing the Crystal Refining Furnace from exploding, Tie Mu thought differently of Yi Yun. He had a nagging feeling that there was something extraordinary about Yi Yun.
”Brother Yi, you seem to have recovered a little. But why does it seem like you still have insufficient Yuan Qi? Did you not use the refined ores Senior Sister Songyue gave you?”
With Tie Mu's level of acuity, he naturally could not tell how massive Yi Yun's dantian was or how tumultuous his lifeblood was. All he could see was the surface of things.
”Brother Yi, no offense, but we are about to enter the mines soon. The danger that mining poses is unimaginable. You should not be scrimping at such a moment in time. It's indeed quite a waste for us to use refined ores, but isn't life more important? After all, no ore is spent by the dead!”
From Tie Mu's point of view, just half a refined ore was sufficient to restore a warrior of their realms to pinnacle state.
Yi Yun only asked with a smile, ”How much longer before we enter the mines?”
”In a day or two. Brother Yi, you offended…” Tie Mu gestured at Cang Gu's residence with his eyes.
”Are there any restrictions when entering the mines? What happens if someone secretly absorbs the Yuan Qi in the mines?”
”There are obviously restrictions.” Tie Mu nodded. ”However, these restrictions are only targeted at supreme-grade ores. As for crude ores, no one will care how much you absorb. Inside the mining zone, life and death depends on fate. Mining is not something that happens in a day or two. You will remain inside for a prolonged period of time. Combat is not to be avoided. How you replenish your energies all depends on your capabilities. If we aren't even allowed to absorb the Yuan Qi from crude ores, wouldn't we be killed by other mining companies?”
”Other mining companies?” Yi Yun's brows pricked up.
”Don't tell me you think that the Chaos mine in this multiverse crack belongs to Taixia alone? The mining zone is stupendously large. There are many factions in the Chaos Heavens whose enterprise depends on mining. All of them will be here to take their share of the loot. Of course, one has to have a strong fist to be able to hold one's ground. Those itinerant cultivators can forget about touching it. They would be killed before they enter the mining zone.”
”Got it.” Yi Yun nodded.
”Brother Yi Yun, you should not be unworried just because you can replenish your energies in the mining zone. Finding ores to absorb energy from in the mining zone is extremely difficult. If you aren't strong enough, you will die before finding them.”
”Got it.” Yi Yun smiled. He never expected there to be people from other factions. From the looks of it, the strife in the Chaos mining zone was destined to be bloody.
Yi Yun bade Tie Mu farewell and meditated alone in his room for two days and two nights. That day, a clanging sound suddenly resounded through the mining cruiser.
The meditating Yi Yun suddenly opened his eyes. He knew that the sound meant that they had arrived at the Chaos mining zone!
The Taixia Ancient Mining's mining spirit cruiser would choose two or three Chaos mining zones every voyage. The target they had gone to the first time was a slightly smaller mining zone, but the second one was the biggest mining zone in the Chaos Heavens.
This mining zone was named Xuanyuan Dune!
