It was originally estimated that it would take more than four years to dig the Guishui Mingquan. Now we need to keep changing the direction, and I am afraid it will take six or seven years.
If something goes wrong again, it will take even longer.
Fortunately, these gold-eating rats are really capable. They do such high-intensity physical work every day and only eat scraps, but they still manage to find time to expand their population.
In the past five years, the number of this group of gold-eating rats has expanded from three to four hundred to more than two thousand.
If Wang Daoyuan hadn't restricted the food of the rats, the number of rats would have exceeded 10,000.
However, if there are more rats, the power will be greater. If there are more gold-eating rats, more holes can be made, and he can burn rocks much faster.
In five years, the cave has gone through many twists and turns, and is still more than ten miles away from the estimated location of Guishui Mingquan.
Traveling a hundred miles is half a mile, and this last distance is the most difficult.
Near Guishui Mingquan, there are rock cracks everywhere, and the rock cracks are filled with groundwater.
In addition, I also encountered the spirit vein of the earthly evil spirit.
The aura generated by the earthly evil spirits carries natural evil spirits.
The evil spirit in Xuanyin Spring probably comes from this evil spirit vein.
Fortunately, there is a soul-seeking plate, the evil spirit will seriously interfere with the soul-seeking plate. Once the spiritual power beam encounters the evil spirit, the entire soul-seeking plate will rotate randomly.
After discovering the anomaly in the soul-seeking plate, Wang Daoyuan immediately changed direction and pushed in other directions.
It's just that there are too many rock cracks nearby. A hundred feet of straight line distance can make seven or eight turns.
After spending more than a year, we finally arrived at a place only twenty or thirty feet away from Guishui Mingquan.
The cave passes between various water veins and rock cracks. Some cracks are only more than ten feet apart, and the passage has to pass through them.
He had to use the earth wall technique to strengthen the rock formation.
The spiritual power used to perform the Earth Wall Technique is still converted from fire-attribute spiritual power.
The original earth-attribute spiritual power has the corrosive properties of returning dust flames, and it may be counterproductive when used to strengthen rocks.
This Guishui Mingquan is also very overbearing. The spiritual power beam of the soul-seeking plate passes through and is annihilated as soon as it touches the spring water.
He used his spiritual consciousness to explore the past, and the power of his spiritual consciousness was instantly swallowed up. There was even a force in the spring that extended along with the power of his spiritual consciousness.
He was so frightened that he immediately cut off his spiritual sense to avoid being hurt by the power of Guishui Mingquan.
The power in this Guishui Mingquan seems to be able to directly harm the soul.
The rock formations of twenty to thirty feet cannot completely block the Yin Qi of Guishui Mingquan.
Where Wang Daoyuan was, he could already feel the biting chill.
It can't be suppressed with fire-attribute spiritual power. I can only take a small amount of earth-line spiritual milk to resist the yin energy.
He did not rush through the last twenty or thirty feet of rock formation, but collected pure Yin energy here.
The purity of the Yin Qi here is so high that it is almost invisible to the outside world.
It would be a huge loss if I didn’t collect more.
Moreover, Guishui Mingquan has the ability to harm the soul.
When collecting spiritual objects from the spring, the soul may be seriously injured.
It is best to collect more pure yin energy, cultivate black jade lotus, and reserve more lotus seeds and lotus roots.
The soul has been severely damaged, and it is very likely that he will faint directly. He will faint next to the Guishui Mingquan, and there will be no chance of waking up again.
Before burning through the last twenty or thirty feet of rock wall, eat some lotus roots and lotus seeds.
Once the soul is injured, it can recover quickly without fainting on the spot.
The black jade lotus has been growing in the spirit bead space for about a thousand years. If it were not for the lack of pure yin energy, it would have bloomed and set seeds countless times.
Now that there is enough pure Yin energy and the Lingzhu space flowing at forty times the time, it won't take long for it to bloom and bear seeds.
He filled the Xuanyin jade gourd with pure Yin energy, put the gourd into the spirit bead space, and handed it to the clone.
The clone injects the pure yin energy from the jade gourd into the pond where the black jade lotus is planted.
Within half a quarter of an hour, the black jade lotus kept growing new stalks, with a small bud on the stalk.
Three days later, the first buds opened.
The flowers of the Black Jade Lotus are pure black, as if they were carved from a whole piece of ink jade. The name of the Black Jade Lotus is indeed true.
At this time, a total of twenty flower buds grew from the five black jade lotus plants.
Five lotus flowers have opened, no new lotus stems have grown, and the pure yin energy has been exhausted.
Wang Daoyuan summoned his clones Wu Yi and Li Qingquan from the spirit bead space and asked them to help collect pure yin energy. The clone Bai Sheng was responsible for injecting pure yin energy into the lotus pond.
Massive amounts of pure yin energy are continuously injected into the lotus pond.
Half a month has passed outside the space, and more than a year has passed inside the space. All the lotus seeds of the Black Jade Lotus have matured.
The yield of lotus seeds is a bit low, with only five or six lotus seeds per lotus pod.
Twenty lotus pods yielded a total of 108 lotus seeds.
After the black jade lotus blooms and sets seeds, it will not die, but can bloom and set seeds many times.
There is no need to rush to replant. Leave a dozen good-quality lotus seeds to plant later. The other lotus seeds can be consumed.
He took a lotus seed to see how the medicine worked.
After swallowing the lotus seeds, immediately run the exercises to refine the lotus seeds.
In just half a cup of tea, the lotus seeds were completely refined, and a stream of pure Yin energy carrying the power of the medicine poured into the meridians.
This yin energy is very gentle. After entering the meridians, I only feel a little cool, without any biting chill.
Continue to run the technique and introduce this yin energy into the meridians of the head.
The foundation-building monks have not yet opened the Purple Mansion, and the meridians connecting the Niwan Palace and other acupuncture points on the body have not yet been opened, so they cannot directly send Yin Qi into the sea of consciousness.
It can only be sent to the head first, so that the Yin Qi can pass through the physical body and gradually penetrate into the sea of consciousness.
After half a day, about half of the Yin Qi penetrated into the sea of consciousness, and the other Yin Qi dispersed to various parts of the body.
The yin energy and medicinal properties that penetrated into the sea of consciousness were absorbed by the soul, and he felt relaxed all over his body.
In order to control the clone, he lost ten percent of his soul. The medicinal power of this lotus seed restored one thousandth of his soul.
Just take another hundred lotus seeds and your soul will be restored to integrity.
The remaining lotus seeds should be prepared for emergencies, and there is no rush to restore the soul for the time being.
After the two clones filled more than thirty Xuanyin jade gourds with pure Yin energy, Wang Daoyuan took them back to the spirit bead space.
If Guishui Mingquan damages the soul, lotus seeds can be used to temporarily stabilize the soul.
Spiritual objects bred in the spring water can also be put into the spirit bead space.
The final problem is water pressure.
According to the records of the Five Elements Master, the place where Guishui Mingquan is located is an irregular spherical space about ten feet in diameter, and the entire space is filled with spring water.
The water volume of Guishui Mingquan is very large. The huge water pressure squeezes the surrounding rocks out of the cracks, and the spring water flows upward along the cracks.
With his golden elixir cultivation, Master Wu Xing only managed to hold on inside for a quarter of an hour before leaving quickly.
With my own level of cultivation, if I didn't take any measures and went in directly, I would have absolutely no chance of surviving.
In addition, you also need to think about how to get out alive after getting the treasures in the Guishui Spiritual Spring.
After digging out the stone wall of twenty to thirty feet, the spring water poured out along the passage he came from, blocking the passage.
If he wants to get out, he can only rely on clouds and smoke to escape.
The straight-line distance between here and the cave is more than three hundred miles.
The passage is full of twists and turns, with a total length of more than a thousand miles.
Moreover, in this kind of passage, the direction needs to be changed frequently, and the speed of Yunyan Escape is also greatly affected.
The passage is more than a thousand miles long, and it will probably take more than a day to escape to the other side of the cave.
If you stay in the Guishui Mingquan for a day, even those with earthly veins and spirit milk will freeze to death.
Unless these two problems are solved, he will never dare to clear the last twenty feet of distance.
