Volume 3: Metamorphosis Chapter 103: The Mother of the Earth and the Fire Spirit
"It's getting closer, just ahead..."
At this time, in Ling Luoyu's spiritual sense, the spiritual energy in front of him seemed to have reached an extreme point. What made Ling Luoyu even more delighted was that this spiritual energy turned out to be fire spirit energy. Could it be that this spiritual stone vein was actually a fire-attribute spiritual stone?
Leaving the terrestrial fire vein, absorbing the free fire spirit energy between heaven and earth, the cultivation speed is far from being in the terrestrial fire vein. Although the golden elixir was achieved by absorbing the fox's primordial infant, it was still refined from someone else's. Although it has been refined to be very pure, compared to the natural fire spirit power generated between heaven and earth, it is slightly inferior.
And the thick fire spirit in front of me is actually more powerful than the earth's core fire vein. If this is indeed a fire-attribute spiritual stone mine, then digging up the spiritual stones here would allow me to cultivate at a speed that is not inferior to the earth's core fire vein!
"For this spirit stone! Even if there's danger ahead, I'll just have to risk it!" Following Pan Wu, Ling Luoye carefully made her way towards the place where the spiritual energy was gathering.
"Master, there's a cave ahead!" Pan Wu suddenly raised his head and stopped in his tracks.
"Dissolved cave! Could this be the spiritual stone vein?!" Ling Luoyu was taken aback, then slowly stepped forward, one step at a time, and peered ahead.
"Good heavens! This place is actually filled with spirit stones everywhere! And at least 80% of them are fire-attribute spirit stones!" As he looked around, his eyes were met with a faint red glow. Ling Luoye was stunned.
Everywhere on the walls of the cave, from top to bottom, there were flashes of faint red light! Of course, other colors of light were also mixed in! Red is fire, yellow is earth, green is wood, black is water, and pale gold is gold!
"These are all spirit stones, with attributes of the five elements, and they're all complete, not a single one is missing!"
Thinking back to the time in Xuanming Cultivation Realm, wanting to get a high-grade spirit stone was simply impossible. Even ordinary low-grade spirit stones were extremely difficult to obtain! But now? There are so many spirit stones before him that Ling Luoye doesn't even know how to take them away! Faced with such a huge contrast, all Ling Luoye can do is bitterly smile.
This cave should be part of this vein, how big is this vein after all, and how many spiritual stones are there in it? Ling Yu didn't dare to think about these questions, nor did he dare to think about them. He was afraid that if he really thought about it, he would unconsciously faint with joy!
Ling Wu and Pan Lin rushed into the cave, one in front of the other, quickly grabbing the spiritual stones and storing them in the storage ring. At this moment, Ling Wu really wished he had a few more arms to collect the spiritual stones even faster!
Although most of them are only low-grade spirit stones, occasionally there will be a few middle-grade spirit stones mixed in, and even high-grade spirit stones will appear from time to time! As we go deeper into the cave, the number of middle and high-grade spirit stones has also increased gradually!
"Could it be that the closer to the center of the mine, the higher the grade of this spirit stone? One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and one mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones! It seems I should first collect those spirit stones with a relatively high grade!"
"Let's go, Pan Wu! We'll continue on. Let's not bother with the lower-grade spirit stones for now. Let's focus on collecting the higher-grade ones first!" After calling out to Pan Wu, Ling Luoyu took the lead and headed straight inside, of course, along the way, they didn't forget to collect the high and medium-grade spirit stones they came across.
"The center of this vein is naturally the gathering place for spiritual energy, where high-grade spirit stones are sure to be more abundant!" Following their own intuition, Ling and Yu quickly approached the place where the spiritual energy of the vein converged.
Slowly, the number of spirit stones seen along the way became fewer and fewer, but the number of mid-to-high-grade spirit stones gradually increased. It seemed that they would soon arrive at the center of this mine vein. At this time, Ling Luoye and the others had already looked down on mid-grade spirit stones, and all the ones they picked up along the way were high-grade.
"This should be the Ling Stone Mine!" Suddenly, Ling Luoye's eyes lit up, and tens of meters in front of him, a fist-sized pale yellow crystal ball appeared before his eyes. Suspended around this crystal ball that shone with a faint yellow light were over a dozen spirit stones of different colors. Just by sensing them, he knew that the spiritual energy contained within these spirit stones far exceeded that of ordinary high-quality spirit stones!
"Could this be an even higher grade of top-quality spirit stone than the superior spirit stone!" Ling Luoyue was overjoyed and was about to reach out to put it into his ring.
"Hmph! You puny humans, dare to come and try to control the Great Mother Earth!" A cold hum echoed through space, and the temperature seemed to suddenly rise by hundreds of degrees! In front of the empty void, a figure about half a person tall, with its entire body flashing with flames, appeared out of thin air.
"What about that rock monster? He can't beat me, yet he's calling for backup!" the Fire Man said coldly.
"What boulder? What boulder?" Ling Luo Yu and Pan Wu were taken aback.
"Less garlic! If you can find your way here, it's not that the stone monument guided you, can you find this?" The fire man shouted loudly.
"Shi Gan Tang? So you thought we were the helpers called by Shi Gan Tang!" Ling Luo Yu and Pan Wu exchanged a smile.
"Isn't that right? He and I are both spirits nurtured by the Great Earth Mother, don't I know his character? Even if you really have nothing to do with him, just because of your intention to defy the Great Earth Mother, you will definitely die!" The Fire Man's body shook, transforming into a fierce flame, pouncing towards Ling Luo and Yu Fei!
"Leave it to me! This fire person seems to be the terrestrial fire spirit from the Pian Mountain Range!" Ling Luo Fei dashed forward, confronting the fire person head-on.
"Boom......" A loud noise, Ling Luo Yu was actually shaken off by that fire man for several meters.
"This is too strong, the power of this fire spirit is really too strong! And his flames are obviously stronger than my True Sun Fire by more than one level!" Ling Luoyue's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at his own hands, which had been burned to a crisp by that person's single palm.
"In the past, I could fight with my true yang fire and say that I was invincible, but against this Fire Man, it's clear that this trick won't work! Not only can I not hurt him, but I'll only end up hurting myself! So how am I supposed to deal with him?" Ling Luoye thought to herself.
PS: I saw some brothers leaving messages saying they waited until 11 pm, and I'm a bit embarrassed. I didn't get off work until after 8 pm, ate something, took a shower, and didn't start writing until around 9 pm. It wasn't until after 11 pm that I finished writing and uploaded it.
Every day, I have to go to work at 6 am, and I can only start writing when I get back in the evening. It's not that I don't want to write more, but I really don't have much time. You can all see that basically whenever I write two chapters, it's always after 1 or 2 am, and sometimes even 3 am. I sleep for just a few hours a day.
Tomorrow, I plan to take a rest, so I might only update one chapter around 11 pm. I don't want everyone to keep waiting for updates, and I'm really sorry to everyone.
