"Damn it, I almost let that beast play to death." Ouyang Mu cursed and collapsed on the ground, took out three Lingyuan Fruits from his arms and threw them to Bai Ze, "Fortunately, there is a magic medicine, take it and recover. !”
Bai Ze took it, sealed two pieces into the chess pieces, grabbed one of them, broke it open, and swallowed the red pulp and juice into his throat.
Ouyang Mu noticed the bracelet made of chess pieces on Bai Ze's wrist. Without saying anything, he peeled off a Lingyuan fruit, swallowed it, and adjusted his breathing.
After the fruit pulp enters the body, Baize suddenly feels a warm current flowing through the heart and lungs, converging towards the Dantian in the abdomen.
He closed his eyes and moved around.
There was strong spiritual energy nearby, so Bai Ze silently recited the Pure Yang Heart Method and practiced the energy into his body. At the same time, the sea of Qi in Dantian circulates on its own, assisting in refining the warm energy of Lingyuan Fruit.
If pure Yang Qi is practiced, the spiritual energy is like a thread, then the energy of the Lingyuan Fruit is like a trickle.
Bai Ze tried his best not to waste a single moment, drawing pure energy to circulate throughout the body, and finally refined it into pure Yang Qi, and merged into the Dantian Qi sea.
The body that was originally cold to the bone gradually regained its warmth under the warmth of the Lingyuan Fruit. Later, Bai Ze noticed that his body was gradually getting hot, and something was leaking out of his skin bit by bit, as if he was sweating.
Bai Ze knew very well that those were impurities in his body. The effect of Lingyuan Fruit in tempering the body can be seen from this.
Both of them sat quietly and adjusted their breath. At noon, they opened their eyes one after another, and their exhausted bodies had already recovered.
"This thing is indeed miraculous!" Ouyang Mu sighed as he smelled the stench emanating from his body, "No wonder those old men from the Taoist sect spend their days going deep into the mountains and forests to collect herbs and make elixirs. Ordinary elixirs have become so magical that they can be turned into elixirs. Wouldn’t it be twice as effective?”
The two immediately cleaned up and packed up, picked up some useful dead branches near the entrance of the cave, made them into torches, and prepared to go into the cave to explore.
"Just by luck, I noticed that the spiritual energy here is rich, and the spiritual stone may be true." The sea of Qi in Bai Ze's body grew larger again.
Ouyang Mu nodded and lit the torch, "I noticed it too. At this point, we can only go in and have a look. If there is indeed a spiritual stone, it will not be in vain for us to risk our lives to come here."
It is extremely dark inside the cave, but fortunately there are torches for illumination, so it is not like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant. The two walked for a while, and the space became wider and wider, and there were strange echoes in every move.
"This bird place is so big?" Ouyang Mu said, "It seems to be a mine without a doubt." As he said that, he became worried again, "Tell me, if those people dug this place so big a hundred years ago, would the spirit stone have already been destroyed?" Have you been hollowed out?"
"Who knows?" Bai Ze also muttered in his heart.
At this moment, the cave suddenly became narrow, and you could reach out and touch the top of the cave.
But at this moment, a faint flash of light suddenly appeared in front of the cave!
"There is light!" The two of them shouted at the same time. The light was not sunlight, but more like the flash of light refracted by some kind of crystal.
Spiritual stone? This was the first reaction of the two people. But when the two of them got into the larger cave, they discovered that it was not a spiritual stone, but a crystal.
Crystals of various colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, sparkle under the firelight, making the entire huge cave colorful. People in it feel as if they are in an endless universe, surrounded by vast starlight.
"Although this crystal is valuable, it is far behind compared to the spirit stone." Ouyang Mu was a little frustrated and sat down on the ground.
"Wait for me and take a look." Bai Ze thought, and suddenly remembered the Qi Luck taught to him by Xie Xuan. Although he can't use this Taoist skill perfectly, it can be used to explore whether there are spirit stone veins here. Isn't it simple?
"What can you do?" Ouyang Mu reluctantly cheered up after hearing this.
"You'll know if you just wait and see." Bai Ze took advantage of the situation, secretly used his mental skills, and secretly made a secret secret: "The heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe borrows the law! Qi transports mountains and rivers!"
"Buzz!——"
With his true energy mobilized, Bai Zedun saw earth veins crisscrossing his body, as if he was in an endless net.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. In the cave, tyrannical auras crisscrossed each other, and they still maintained their form and were immortal after hundreds of years.
"This is...the spiritual energy fluctuation left by the master's battle?" Bai Ze was shocked. In addition to the interweaving of the mountain spirits, there were also spiritual energy marks left by the passage of true energy.
Those traces are different from the flow of earth veins. They are dead and fixed.
At a glance, Bai Ze saw that those solidified auras, like knives and spears, still exuded astonishing murderous intent!
"What?" Ouyang Mu asked.
Bai Ze had no time to explain, because he really saw the spirit stone vein. It's just a pity that the ore veins go deep into the mountains and cannot be mined by the two of them.
The spirit stone veins were like giant dragons crossing the river. At a glance, Bai Ze felt like he was looking at flowers in the mist. Although it was not realistic, the rich and vigorous spiritual energy was definitely not comparable to ordinary places!
No wonder you can meet the ox-ghost larvae here in the middle of the plot, which can overwhelm many strong men when they become adults. I am afraid that there is a unique cave in the cold pool.
Bai Ze's heart moved and he looked in the direction of Hantan, but it was completely dark and he couldn't see anything.
"Are there any spiritual stones?" Ouyang Mu asked impatiently.
"Yes!" Bai Ze nodded and came back to his senses. The mystery of Hantan was not something he could pry into at this moment.
"Where is it?" Ouyang Mu was overjoyed, climbed up, rolled up his sleeves and was about to dig.
"There are hundreds of feet of ground underground, and the two of us have to dig to death." Bai Ze said.
Ouyang Mu's eyes widened, and after a long moment, he cursed, "What a waste!"
"Don't worry." Bai Ze smiled, "We can't move the spirit stone veins, but there are spirit stones we can dig out here, but there aren't as many as the veins."
"How many?" Ouyang Mu's mood was up and down. He almost couldn't help scolding Bai Ze. He grabbed his collar and shouted: "Can you finish what you want to say in one go?!"
"Not many, about ten or so." Bai Ze said.
"Ten or so?" Ouyang Mu stopped breathing and said blankly: "Isn't that a lot? If you sell these to make money, it would be a thousand taels of gold! Buying a courtyard house in Heyang City does not count. , and it can also be paired with two pretty maids!"
"Then don't look at it. For these ten or so spirit stones, we almost risked our lives." Bai Ze said.
"Stop talking nonsense and dig it now!" Ouyang Mu got angry and said, "When we dig it out, we two brothers will share it equally! From now on, we won't eat unless we are in Zuixian Tower, and we won't sleep unless we are in Wenwen Village!"
"So and so, how can you look like a cultivator?" Bai Ze said in his mouth, but his hands were honest, pointing to a place, and the two of them started digging without saying a word.
After digging for a long time, the two finally dug out a spiritual stone as big as a thumb joint from the pit half a man deep.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, the stone in this cave is too hard!" Ouyang Mu was so tired that his back ached and his hands were swollen. "If I weren't afraid that the sword would break the spirit stone, I would!"
"What are you, you, let me see what the spirit stone looks like?" Bai Ze snatched the spirit stone, wiped the dirt, and looked at the stone by the almost extinguished firelight.
As gentle as jade. This was Bai Ze's first feeling, followed by the abundant spiritual energy. Holding it in his hand, it was as if he was holding a lake condensed by pure spiritual energy.
Bai Ze knew that there was a fatal flaw in absorbing spiritual energy from spirit stones, that is, it would lead to impurity of the true energy in the body.
For example, if you practice qi with the mind method, it is like pouring water into a bamboo tube - this water is spiritual energy, and the water passing through the bamboo tube will turn into wine - this wine is true qi.
Then absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is like pouring a basin of water down. Some of the spiritual energy will definitely pass through the bamboo tube and become true energy, but a considerable part of the spiritual energy will directly enter the Dantian Qi sea and become an impure part.
At first glance, it seems that the Qi Sea has indeed expanded. But it will take quite a long time to digest those impure parts.
Therefore, there are so many people who choose to cross the sea of suffering when they are far from achieving great success, and then rebuild the sea of suffering and continue to expand the Dantian Qi sea.
Therefore, it took Xie Xuan less than three years to reach the ninth level of the Sea of Suffering with his strength, and he was called an unparalleled genius in Kyushu!
"If it's not necessary, it's better not to use the spirit stone." Bai Ze thought to himself and threw the spirit stone to Ouyang.
"I'm so tired!" Ouyang Mu put the spiritual stones into a small sheepskin bag and climbed out of the hole. Seeing that the torch was almost burning, he touched his belly and said, "It will take three to five days to dig these spiritual stones. We You have to plan for the long term.”
"It's been so long, I think it's time for that cow ghost to leave." Bai Ze nodded, "Now that we have no dry food, and the torches are almost running out, why not go out and make preparations first, and then dig for spiritual stones."
"I think so too!" Ouyang Mu nodded.
The two hit it off immediately and immediately left the cave.
In the mountains, night comes earlier. Without the torch, the two of them walked out of the cave in the dark, and there were already stars outside.
The Niugui has left the cave entrance and probably returned to the unfathomable cold pool. In the valley, the autumn wind rustled, and there was no other sound except the chirping of insects.
Bai Ze and Xie Xuan have been traveling in the mountains all year round and are very familiar with the mountains and forests. At that moment, he took Ouyang to find some wild fruits, caught three or five big fish in the river, gathered firewood, and went into the hole again.
After eating wild fruits, grilling a big fish, and resting for a while, the two started digging again day and night.
Time passed like this. I don’t know how long it took. Deep in the cave, Ouyang Mu threw the spirit stone in his hand and said, "The third one! Where is the next one?"
"Still digging?" Bai Ze was so tired that he stuck out his tongue.
"The last one!" Ouyang Mu said, "After digging this, let's go to bed and dig again tomorrow!"
"There." Bai Ze weakly stretched out his hand and said, "This time it's in the stone wall, not underground."
Bai Ze was born with supernatural powers, but the rocks here were hard. Even if he and Ouyang took turns using their long swords to dig, it would be difficult.
Ouyang Mu ran over and suddenly said in surprise, "Why is there a sword here?"
"Sword?" Bai Ze heard the sound and followed.
Ouyang Mu had already reached out to pull it out, but the sword was deeply embedded in the stone wall. Even with all his strength, he could not shake the sword.
"Let me try." Bai Ze said.
Ouyang Mu nodded and stepped aside. Bai Ze grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. Not moving at all.
"Huh?" Bai Ze didn't believe in evil, "Could it be that it grew up in the mountains?" He squatted on his horse and pulled out with all his strength.
"Qiang!"
Bai Ze took three steps back, and he immediately pulled out the sword!
"Broken sword?" Ouyang Mu shouted with sharp eyes.
Bai Ze looked down and saw that the broken sword was stained with rust, but the remaining sword body was not damaged at all.
"It just so happened that my willow sword was broken, so I made do with it, which is just right." Bai Ze looked at the broken sword and touched two words on the sword: Zang Feng.
