Chapter 20: Cave in the Lake, Spirit Stone Mine
After conquering the Great Jin, he became more intimate with Wei Zhong. Wei Zhong was also able to exchange some superficial information with him through the connection between the two.
"Come on, show me where you came from?"
Wei Zhong turned over and rode on the big golden fish's back. The smooth fish scales made it difficult for him to sit steadily, so he simply grabbed its whiskers.
Da Jin was not angry because of Wei Zhong's behavior, and he dived into the lake.
At this time, the vibrations in the lake have almost calmed down, with only a string of bubbles still coming out from the bottom of the lake.
Wei Zhong was in a good mood as he picked up the spiritual stones around him.
The spirit stones picked up at the bottom of the lake are worth eight or nine hundred low-grade spirit stones, which is more than twice the ticket fee.
And there might even be a spirit stone vein underneath.
Wei Zhong got very excited whenever he thought about it.
The man and the beast continued to go deeper and deeper into the lake bottom. The dark lake bottom was almost without sunlight. Wei Zhong could hardly see the surrounding scenery with his naked eyes. Only with the help of the runes of the soul-seeking technique could he see the various shapes of spiritual light.
Suddenly, a deep trench appeared in front of Wei Zhong, like a crack on the seabed, stretching across almost the entire lake bottom.
Wei Zhong's eyes froze, but he remained calm and followed Dajin deeper into the cave.
Looking around, Wei Zhong actually discovered some strange spiritual herbs growing on the rock wall in the crack. He plucked a few of those that were rich in spiritual energy and stuffed them into his storage bag.
After diving for an unknown number of feet, Da Jin turned a corner and entered a passage. There was some light in the passage, and some rocks on the rock wall emitted a faint glow.
It actually contains some spiritual energy.
Wei Zhong was ready to grab it, but the glowing stone seemed to be stuck to the rock wall. Wei Zhong was afraid of triggering another earthquake at the bottom of the lake, so he did not choose to dig it by force.
As Dajin continued to go deeper, there were more and more such rocks inside, some of which were scattered on the ground in the passage.
"It takes no effort at all."
Wei Zhong accepted it with great joy.
After walking for a few more miles, we saw a wide cave at the bottom of the lake. It was as bright as day inside and full of spiritual energy.
“This is where Dajin lives.”
Wei Zhong looked around and found that this cave in the mountain was actually somewhat larger than the lake in the forest above.
It's just a bit stuffy. Although there is light coming from the stones above my head, it is ultimately blocked by rocks and I can't see the sky. No wonder Dajin is so happy to come to the outside world.
There are aquatic plants growing in the cave, especially the one in the center which is the largest.
Da Jin made a strange sound. As its owner, Wei Zhong understood what it meant. It was probably saying that this was his home.
He used his whiskers to push aside the aquatic plants that were blocking the view and invited Wei Zhong in.
A gleam of inspiration suddenly appeared in Wei Zhong's eyes, and he discovered that there were two golden spiritual herbs in the water grass.
One is tall and the other is short. The surface of the spiritual grass seems to have grown golden scales, which are somewhat similar to the scales on the body of the big golden fish.
Wei Zhong was astonished by the abundance of spiritual energy. Unfortunately, Wei Zhong did not have much knowledge about spiritual plants and could only recognize the appearance of a few common spiritual medicines.
It seems that I need to make up for it after leaving the secret realm.
Could it be a second-level spiritual herb?
Wei Zhong was puzzled.
Seeing Wei Zhong staring at his spiritual herbs, Da Jin nudged Wei Zhong with his fish body.
He meant that these were his things and Wei Zhong was not allowed to take them.
Sighing, Wei Zhong touched the fish head:
"Be good, I'll keep it for you first, then take you out and return it to you later."
There was a hint of hesitation on the big goldfish's face, but he still trusted Wei Zhong and allowed him to dig out the two spiritual herbs together with the soil underneath, and then put them into the storage bag.
Then Wei Zhong took out a spirit stone:
"Where have you seen anything like this?"
Da Jin led Wei Zhong to a corner of the cave, and Yuxu pointed to a hole below, indicating that spirit stones would be ejected from it every once in a while. Wei Zhong looked at the small hole that could only accommodate one person, and hesitated. He turned around and looked at Da Jin, who was several times bigger than him, and took out the spirit beast bag to put it in.
Although Da Jin was somewhat resistant, he still obeyed Wei Zhong and entered the spirit beast bag.
I sneaked in here, and I don't know if I can return again. If the secret realm is closed, the spirit beasts I subdued will not be retrieved in time and will be left here.
After putting away the big gold, Wei Zhong crawled into the small cave.
······
In the mine, disciples of Qingmu Sect were hammering away with various tools and instruments specially used to mine spirit stones.
In a remote and uninhabited mine, Wei Zhong crawled out of a small pool on the ground and saw spiritual stones emitting spiritual light on the rock wall.
"It is indeed a spiritual stone vein."
Suddenly, he heard the sounds of knocking and shouting. Wei Zhong suppressed his energy to the lowest level and walked carefully in the direction of the sound.
I caught a glimpse of many inner disciples of the Qingmu Sect wearing blue and white Taoist robes.
It was indeed Aoki Zong.
As the master of this secret realm, it is not surprising that Qingmu Zong knows the resource points within the secret realm.
What Wei Zhong didn't expect was that there was such a spirit stone vein in this secret realm, and it was a medium-sized vein containing medium-grade spirit stones.
"My goodness, Qingmu Sect has mined countless spiritual stones here in the past hundred years. No wonder it was able to surpass Hanzhu City and become the number one golden elixir force in Mangyuan Prefecture."
"It really is worthy of being a great sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years."
Just as Wei Zhong was sighing in his heart, he suddenly heard a cold snort.
Someone actually discovered me.
A sword light flew in front of Wei Zhong. Wei Zhong had no time to think about how he was exposed, and hurriedly took out the first-grade superior shield he had just purchased.
The small sword stabbed into the small shield and almost made a hole in it.
Wei Zhong didn't care about being surprised or distressed, because the next sword light was coming. And he also felt that the enemy who discovered him was heading in this direction.
Wei Zhong took out his magic sword and chopped it with the second sword light, then used the thrust to escape backwards.
When he looked over, he saw a gap on the top-grade magic sword.
Wei Zhong felt extremely distressed. Those two flying swords must be second-level magical weapons, otherwise their power shield and flying swords would not be half destroyed in just one encounter.
Who is this person from Qingmu Sect? He actually possesses two second-level magical flying swords.
Moreover, such a terrifying spiritual perception discovered that I was trying my best to conceal my breath.
There was chaos inside the mine at this moment.
"The enemy has infiltrated, fellow apprentices, be careful..."
Wei Zhong was also fleeing in a hurry and had no idea where he was.
“This is too close.”
Wei Zhong could feel the chill coming from behind him. As long as he slowed down, a flying sword would catch up with him.
Lu Yibin in the back was also very surprised:
"What a fast speed! It seems that this person is a tough one."
But Lu Yibin still didn't take it to heart. With his own strength, he had never let a mere Qi-refining cultivator escape.
Just looking at the direction that person escaped, it seemed that he was heading towards the inheritance hall above.
Wei Zhong kept escaping and finally saw the daylight.
"Finally out!"
