Chapter 237: The Feeling of Sudden Wealth
With Yu Lingzhou's perspective, it was instantly determined that beneath the mountain was a genuine Supreme Grade spiritual crystal vein. The surface was crystal clear and pure, without any impurities. The abundant spiritual energy condensed into substance, forming a magnificent seven-colored mist that pervaded the sky.
This invaluable spiritual crystal vein was over 30,000 li wide and its length was unknown, even Qin Muling's current cultivation level couldn't see its end.
"... It's so spectacular. Unfortunately, in the current Extreme Void Starry Sky, it's impossible to find such an astonishingly large Supreme Grade spiritual crystal vein anymore. Even finding an ordinary spiritual stone vein of this scale is difficult," Princess Long Yi sighed slightly. She was now wearing a close-fitting purple-gold soft armor, with her black hair cascading down. Her enchanting curves were accentuated, and her lower body was still adorned with a gorgeous deep purple skirt, concealing her perfectly round and long legs. Her flawless and beautiful face carried a cold yet alluring and mysterious smile. Her imposing aura was not inferior to that of Yue Yi Tianjun, Yu Lingzhou, and other elders.
Su Yuanzhen stood by her side, wearing a magnificent palace skirt with a white base and red patterns embroidered with the design of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix. Her high bun made her look like a blooming peony, exuding elegance and luxury.
Cheng Yulan, who was by her side, glanced at her and asked, "Are there no longer any veins like this within Dao Court's territory?"
"That's right," Princess Long Yi said, "I have reviewed the secret files on this matter in Dao Court. Over ten million years ago, when cultivators still had the opportunity to ascend, the largest Supreme Grade spiritual crystal vein in Dao Court's territory had already been depleted. Since then, although many new spiritual crystal veins have been discovered, the best ones are not even one-tenth the size of the vein before us."
The surrounding women sighed in unison. Even in Dao Court's territory, where the spiritual energy was the most abundant and the resources were the most abundant, it was the same. It was even more so for other Daoist forces. It could be seen how much Extreme Void Starry Sky had declined under the successive ravages of calamities.
Legend has it that during the ancient era when the heavens and earth first opened and chaos was first divided, Extreme Void Starry Sky was also a paradise full of heavenly treasures and abundant spiritual energy, not inferior to the Illusory Mist Secret Realm of the Heavenly Human Race in any aspect.
Now, although the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky is slowly recovering, it has encountered the calamity of the descendants of the Demon Race. It is unknown when it will completely calm down. It is still unknown when it will be able to recreate the prosperous era of the ancient times.
Little Phoenix Fengxia muttered, "In the depths of this vein, there seems to be a lot of accompanying Supreme Grade crystal marrow. There are various attributes, which can be used to refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures!"
"Don't worry, they are all ours," Yu Lingzhou laughed. As long as something good is discovered, there is no reason to miss it. Everything will be transported back without missing a single piece.
In the distance, twenty thousand female cultivators had already formed teams and divided the area. They worked together to activate their techniques, and giant hands, each spanning over a hundred miles, continuously descended, throwing large chunks of rocks and soil into the distance, revealing the true appearance of the hidden giant spiritual crystal veins within the mountains.
At that moment, thousands of sharp sword auras descended like a dazzling meteor shower, disintegrating and cutting through the dragon-like veins. Pieces of Supreme Grade spiritual crystals, each measuring several zhang in size, were absorbed and stored in various high-capacity spatial Law Weapons.
"Alright, Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. Let's also take some spiritual crystals back with us!" Su Yuanzhen smiled. With such a quantity of Supreme Grade spiritual crystals, even Emperor Qing Huan, with her terrifying wealth, couldn't ignore it, let alone them.
Princess Long Yi nodded slightly and waved her jade hand. In the distance, a spiritual crystal mountain peak with a diameter of nearly a hundred miles cracked apart and slowly flew over, being collected into a seal-shaped spatial Law Weapon.
That was an Acquired Spiritual Treasure-level spatial Law Weapon with an internal space spanning over ten thousand li. If she used it to store Supreme Grade spiritual crystals, it would probably be enough for her to use for tens of thousands of years.
Su Yuanzhen also joined in and, in no time, all the spatial Law Weapons on the two women were almost full. The senior sisters around them were also not idle. Cultivation was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how many resources they had, it was never enough. They finally seized such an opportunity and naturally wanted to plunder to their heart's content.
This time, they were all prepared. They carried dozens of high-capacity spatial Law Weapons on them. Luo Wanqing's ten fingers were filled with rings, her wrists were covered in layers of bracelets, and she had over a dozen necklaces on her jade neck. Along with her waist belt, earrings, hairpin, and armlets, almost all of them were spatial Law Weapons. The situation was similar for the other women. After all, the resources they collected didn't need to be shared publicly; they were all their own secret money.
Finally, Qi Yalan suggested, "There are no dangerous creatures around. Why don't we just cultivate for a while? Just like last time!"
All the women readily agreed. This kind of extravagant cultivation, directly absorbing the essence of Supreme Grade spiritual crystals, was extremely rare in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Only the heads of those Supreme Daoist forces had the capital to squander like this.
After a moment, Qin Muling, who had already recovered, appeared from the Multi-Storied Heavenly Boat and joined the cultivation group.
With his current cultivation at the Immortal Transformation realm, he could barely absorb the spiritual essence from the Supreme Grade spiritual crystals for cultivation. Moreover, he had the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed to share the pressure. If it were a cultivator below this level, they would most likely not be able to withstand the overwhelming spiritual essence and often end up exploding and dying.
Qin Muling sat cross-legged on the Supreme Grade spiritual crystal mountain peak, which was over ten thousand li high, silently operating his cultivation technique. The vast spiritual essence surged into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and a clear and watery chaos spiritual light appeared lightly, filling his five viscera and six bowels, effortlessly absorbing the immense spiritual essence. With the abundant supply of spiritual essence, the internal space within the Azure Lotus phantom in his body began to slowly expand once again.
Meanwhile, the Lingjing Peak beneath him began to fade in large patches, and the range quickly expanded. This was a sign that the essence of spiritual energy inside had been completely absorbed.
After Qin Muling's cultivation reached the Immortal Transformation realm, the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed also underwent a transformation akin to rebirth. Its demand for spiritual energy was almost limitless, to the point where even such a majestic Lingjing Peak seemed unable to satisfy its extraction.
Several hours quickly passed, and after finishing her cultivation, Princess Long Yi carefully approached and silently guarded alongside her senior sisters.
Whenever the 20,000 female cultivators finished equipping their personal spatial Law Weapons and sent their captains to deliver them, Qin Muling would temporarily stop his cultivation, travel to the Extreme Void Starry Sky, and bring back the emptied spatial Law Weapons.
After seven days and nights, the internal space within the Azure Lotus phantom had expanded by more than four times. The Innate Primordial Spirit Seed itself had also gained tremendous benefits. The nine Azure Lotus leaves had completely formed and solidified, with countless intricate and profound Dao patterns covering the surface of the lotus leaves, exuding a rich sense of spiritual and profound charm in the sea of consciousness.
As a result, Qin Muling's physical strength had increased by about twice as much, surpassing even the monstrous-level geniuses who specialized in body cultivation. His level of vitality and recovery ability after injuries was also significantly superior. Among all the new era elites of the same level, he was truly deserving of the title of number one.
As for the cost, it was that the Lingjing Peak beneath Qin Muling had absorbed all the essence of spiritual energy inside, leaving not a single drop. Of course, the main credit belonged to the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, and he himself had only absorbed a small portion.
"I plan to go back and discuss with my master, and then arrange for more people to come and improve the efficiency of transporting resources. What do you think?" Qin Muling asked.
The 20,000 female cultivators had been working tirelessly day and night, but so far, they had only excavated a few tens of millions of miles of Lingjing veins, not even reaching one percent of the entire mountain range.
"I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome..." Xue Bingxuan frowned. The current 20,000 female cultivators had all made a solemn oath and had restrictions planted in their divine souls by Emperor Xin Yu to ensure that the secret would never be leaked.
If more people were to be added halfway, they would have to continue handling it in this way, without missing a single person, otherwise there would be unpredictable risks.
"It doesn't matter. Let Emperor Xin Yu worry about this matter. I'm only responsible for delivering the message!" Qin Muling said, disappearing on the spot.
As the vision changed, the familiar scene inside the Cave Mansion appeared before his eyes. Mu Yinghua and two emperors were in conversation. When they saw Qin Muling appear, many elders who were waiting on the side immediately gathered around.
"Teacher, I have a suggestion..." Qin Muling described the situation in the secret realm. At the current rate, it would probably take another year to completely excavate the massive Lingjing mountain range without increasing the manpower.
"Emperor, what do you think is the best way to handle this?" Mu Yinghua asked, pondering.
Emperor Xin Yu smiled and said, "I don't mind. Let's do it this way! Arrange for tens of thousands more disciples to enter. After all, we are not lacking in spatial Law Weapons."
"But if we continue like this, there will be too many valuable things brought back, and the Grotto-Heaven world used to store resources in the sect will not be enough!" Mu Yinghua looked troubled. If the entire sect's main altar was filled with various rare resources, it would be difficult to maintain secrecy.
"It's okay. You can temporarily store them in my exclusive Grotto-Heaven world. There is enough space there," Emperor Xin Yu said.
"Very well, let's arrange it like this!" Mu Yinghua agreed.
From beginning to end, no one mentioned the option of giving up. No one would complain about having too many resources.
"In fact, I think..." Emperor Qing Huan, who was beside them, spoke up, "You can also spend some of them first, right? Exchange them for high-grade finished pills, Law Weapons, talismans, and puppets. Wouldn't that further enhance the sect's strength?"
"Yes, Dao Court happens to need a batch of Supreme Grade Lingjing to enrich its inventory. How about an internal price? I'll decide and allocate a batch of genuine Heavenly Grade pills for you. Just let me know what types you need by making a list," Emperor Xin Yu suggested.
"That works too, let's do it like this!" Mu Yinghua immediately agreed. With enough Supreme Grade Lingjing to spend, many high-end resources in the Extreme Void Starry Sky could be freely purchased. Even if they couldn't be immediately put to use, it would be a good reserve.
