It is ridiculous to think about hundreds of thousands of people fighting to the death for a small spiritual stone mine, resulting in countless casualties.
In just one mortal year, both spiritual stones and beast crystals will be reduced to an unbelievable price.
"Speaking of which, these beast crystals in my hand should be redeemed as soon as possible. However, the spirit stone mine is scraped."
In Zong Shou's eyes, a bright light suddenly flashed, and then quickly disappeared.
Since this is a recently discovered Lingshi mine, I wonder if the core inside has been taken away?
It seems that it is time for Xiaohe to swallow the beast crystal again, but if it is replaced by a spirit stone, it will be even more perfect.
Anyway, he has to wait for Fan Fan around here for the past two days. Even if Fan Fan wants to complete the things he has asked, it will take some time, so he might as well go over and have a look.
After settling his mind, Zong Shou closed his eyes and sat cross-legged again, continuing to perfect the world-shaking spiritual formula.
It wasn't until night fell that Zong Shou put on the set of thunder bones again.
When he got out of the carriage, he subconsciously looked at the other cloud-turning carriage not far away, and hesitated slightly for a while.
Li Yuniang, who was guarding outside the carriage, immediately showed a vigilant look, like a she-cat with exploded fur: "What are you going to do? Miss, she is practicing in seclusion!"
Subconsciously, Zong Shou's mind flashed over the scene of Xuanyuan Yiren's naked body, with fire gushing out around her body, and he couldn't help but feel shaken.
He actually had the idea of rushing in and doing something. Anyway, Li Yunniang couldn't stop him.
Then she shook her head violently, and Zong Shou was secretly surprised. Could it be the Cold Spirit Xuanyi Pill that she had mastered so quickly? She was practicing in seclusion at the moment, and I'm afraid she was mostly solving the hidden dangers from before.
Without paying much attention to it, Zong Shou jumped off the carriage, flashed forward, and flew forward quickly.
Chuxue didn't even need to say hello and immediately followed him.
Li Yunniang was secretly surprised by what she saw, and was determined to follow them in the wind chariot. However, when she saw Zong Shou and his two men walking directly into the dense forest and disappearing into the rolling hills in a short time, she had no choice but to give up this idea reluctantly.
His eyes rolled and he fell into deep thought.
Zong Shou's thunder walking spirit bone clicked when he walked, but at this moment when he urged the running with all his strength, it was really like lightning running, extremely fast. It was also extremely sensitive. Under Zong Shou's control, even if it was ten feet away in an instant,
It won't hit the trees.
However, the consumption of soul power is also large. Zong Shou's soul sea vortex can swallow the spiritual energy of the world and the free soul power. Every moment, it is replenishing the soul energy. Therefore, he is not afraid at all and uses all his strength. Chuxue unexpectedly followed
He can also keep up, like a white shadow, following closely.
However, when the two of them ran for dozens of miles and reached the top of a mountain, the gap became apparent.
Chuxue was panting, and her physical strength was almost exhausted. Zong Shou's expression was as usual, except for his eyes, which looked a little tired.
From the beginning to the end, he actually didn't move even a single finger. He always relied on his outer bones to move. All he consumed was soul power.
The top of this mountain is about 700 feet high, which is not very high. However, from here, it feels like you can see all the mountains at a glance.
Taking out a soul stone casually, Zong Shou formed another hand seal. A blue round talisman immediately appeared in his eyes. And the things in his field of vision were quickly zoomed in closer.
"All spiritual stone veins are mostly found near mountains, in places with strong earth energy, where spiritual veins gather. There is a plain here, and the most likely location is this hilly area. I don't know where the mineral vein is.
Which direction?"
After glancing around, Zong Shou's eyes suddenly settled on the south. There seemed to be a battlefield there. At a glance, they were all broken armor and corpses. I don't know how many people died in this battle, but it actually attracted countless There are scavenging beasts, and from time to time the sound of howling wolves and beasts can be heard. There are hundreds of giant vultures circling in the sky.
Squinting his eyes, Zong Shou searched around here again. After a while, his sight was fixed on a peak of about 400 feet.
Smiling slightly, Zong Shou rushed down again. Knowing that Chu Xue was no longer able to keep up, he simply picked her up and drove the thunder-walking spirit bone towards her.
After a short journey of seventy miles, it took only three-quarters of an hour to arrive. When they arrived near the hill, Zong Shou suddenly paused, squinting and looking into the distance.
There are two huge barracks here, with clear distinctions, facing each other. There are hundreds of thousands of people stationed in each barracks. Just a quick glance can tell that they are all elite soldiers. Even the soldiers with the lowest combat power are second-level warriors. , they are not inferior to their Qian Tianshan.
Fill your eyes with soul power and look from a distance. You can even see dozens of vague qi rays, soaring into the sky, mixed with the qi and blood of hundreds of thousands of people, and the evil energy soaring into the sky.
Zong Shou couldn't help but frown slightly. In his previous life, he had seen fierce battles between armies. But at that time, he had already reached the realm of heaven and was a martial artist himself. He really didn't feel anything.
While watching at this moment, I couldn't help but feel frightened. There are not many masters in this military camp, only ten ordinary mortals. But if there are masters who are familiar with martial arts and combine them, they can make even the Xuanwu Sect level strong men. It's easy to find out.
The masculine power of Qi and blood mixed with tens of thousands of people is the nemesis of spiritual masters. If you are not at the realm of returning Yang, any spiritual method will be dispersed by the rising Qi and blood as long as it comes even slightly close.
After watching for a moment, Zong Shou secretly smiled bitterly. This large army was the most difficult to deal with. After he woke up that day, he did not choose to use disguise and stealth methods to escape pursuit, but still chose the magnificent and eye-catching Fanyun. Car, that's why.
The Cloud-Stepping Horse runs extremely fast, and the Cloud-Wandering Car can float in the air. Even if others know its whereabouts, it is not easy to take action. Without a mount of the same level, no innate martial artist can even hope to catch up. And the Cloud-Stepping Horse can't catch up. , even for big forces like Qian Tianshan, their numbers are also small.
But once he is discovered while hiding in disguise, thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will gather together to surround and kill him. No matter how powerful he is, he will still die out of hatred.
Speaking of which, the most dangerous area on my way back to Qiantian Mountain is the latter part of the journey.
The Yunxia Mountain and Lieyan Mountain are only in the west of Yunlu. They are hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Dian Mountains. Even if they want him to die, they can still send some elites over.
But once they reach their territory, it is not impossible to mobilize millions of soldiers and horses to surround and kill him based on the strength of these two men.
If you want to return safely, I'm afraid you still need to find some backup horses for riding the wind.
He completely gave up the idea of using the latent shadow spiritual method to sneak in. Zong Shou did not give up just yet. There was a vein of spiritual stone all over ten miles around the world. He did not necessarily choose this place to enter.
After retreating for a few miles, Zong Shou began to set up the formation again. There was a barracks nearby, and there were dozens of innates. He did not dare to make too much noise. He only hastily arranged ten runes and placed twelve third-level beast crystals. .
Chuxue was by the side and had recovered some physical strength. At this moment, she just stood there silently. Although she was curious, she didn't say a word. She was watching the Zong Shou Ling Jue being activated and reciting blessings. Suddenly, there was a slight shaking under her feet, and there was a muffled sound on the ground.
, suddenly ten mortal cracks burst open. Starting from the spiritual formation at Zong Shou's feet, it quickly spread to the vicinity. Some of them were thicker and extended to the south. However, they were in the opposite direction of the two barracks.
As the twelve earth-type beast crystals all exploded, Zong Shou stopped his hand seals and secret blessings. He looked at the trend of the cracks with a condensed expression.
A hundred years after Tianyuefan, the connections between the Cloud Realm and the worlds of heaven and earth began to be gradually opened.
Some of the Yun Realm's specialties began to spread to other worlds. The martial arts secrets, talismans, spiritual arts and some rare objects from other worlds were also gradually mastered by the people of the Cloud Realm.
At this moment, Zong Shou is using an earth-type spiritual method called "Spirit Detection Technique" that was passed down from other worlds. It has no other function except identifying spirit stone veins, and the effect is extremely effective.
In the past hundred years, the spiritual stone mines discovered in Yunjie were exhausted in only about three thousand years.
The reason why spiritual stones occasionally appeared in Zong Shou's era was because of transactions with other worlds, and secondly, relying on this spiritual method, some small spiritual stone mines could always be discovered from time to time.
"Yiyi is actually a second-level mineral vein!"
Zong Shou was thoughtful and looked at the two barracks. He was thinking that these hundreds of thousands of men and horses had not even accurately explored the mineral veins, and they started fighting just for a branch vein?
After letting out a laugh, Zong Shou continued to concentrate and carefully observed the cracks.
The spiritual stones here were extremely scattered, and he didn't want to put in the effort to find them. He was just looking for the possible location of the mine core.
The result is somewhat gratifying. Each mineral core is the essence of an entire mineral vein. It is often surrounded by dense spiritual stones and full of spiritual energy.
At this moment, these cracks on the ground can be seen at a glance. It is easy to tell where is the place with abundant spiritual energy. And there is only one place where the core of the spirit stone mine may be.
But underneath, there is a break, and the situation behind it cannot be discerned.
"Seventy feet below, there is actually an underground river -
Zong Shou's miss gave him a headache, but fortunately the location was confirmed, it just required a little more effort.
Running all the way south, weaving through the dense forest, Zong Shou only stopped again when he was twenty miles away.
Chu Xue had a confused look on her face at this moment. This night, she followed Zong Shou and ran around in the mountain. She didn't know what she was going to do.
Zong Shou also waved up his sleeves and was about to take out his Thunder Tooth Sword and was about to start digging a hole when he suddenly remembered that he was no longer young or old and he was also a spiritual master in the out-of-body realm. How could he be needed anymore?
Do it yourself?
As soon as his mind moved, Zong Shou found three more granite stones that were about the height of a person and of good quality. He first drew the talisman array with spiritual ink, and then buried five third-order earth element beast crystals, plus two beast souls.
stone.
When the mantra is recited and Zongshou's mudra is combined, these three granite stones will immediately split.
The head, hands and feet appeared one after another, and within a moment, three high-altitude stone puppets suddenly stood up from the ground. They were about two feet tall, with a burly body and extremely strong. (To be continued)
