Chapter 358 The Spiritual Mine of the Past
The Baiyu Sect’s territory is not close to Huoyun Shanshi. When Shu Han was at the peak of the late foundation building stage, it would take about a whole day to reach it with full-strength flying.
Now that he has advanced to the early stage of Jindan, he has used the "Heavenly Palace Mysterious Art" to help him shrink the earth into an inch. The distance that took a whole day to reach in the past now only takes three quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour, it is not long, but it is not short either.
Although Shu Han has distanced himself from Song Jinglun because of the shrinking earth into an inch, he has also exhausted his mana, and began to bear the joint backlash of the "Heavenly Palace Mysterious Art" and Xiyun. His body and cultivation have been overdrawn, and his consciousness is exhausted. If he is not careful, he will fall headfirst.
Shu Han had to chew the heart-seeking holy core to refresh his mind, and began to quickly absorb the middle-grade spirit stones.
Without the huge mana support, Shu Han was unable to use the protective qi to split the air wall that was coming towards him. At this speed, the soft air became as sticky and heavy as soil and stone. He could hardly open his eyes. And his top speed was slowly reduced by the air.
After advancing to the Jindan stage, Shu Han found that the middle-grade spirit stone could no longer quickly restore his lost mana.
Generally speaking, the mana in the body of a cultivator above the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage is roughly equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone.
Although the mana of the foundation-building stage cultivators is more powerful, it is rare to see a cultivator whose mana is more powerful than that of a middle-grade spirit stone. Therefore, the foundation-building stage generally only uses low-grade spirit stones to restore mana. After all, middle-grade spirit stones are too precious, and only the Jindan stage will use middle-grade spirit stones.
Back then, Shangguan Ruolin only brought middle-grade spirit stones when she went out on adventures.
Because Shu Han practiced the "Dragon Xuan Three-Transformation Divine Art", he obtained many heavenly treasures to improve his body, and his body's mana reserves had long exceeded that of ordinary cultivators by several times. Now that Shu Han has just reached the Jindan stage, the recovery of the middle-grade spirit stone is a bit weak.
He had wanted to exchange for a few high-grade spirit stones over the years, but he had never heard of any place that could exchange for high-grade spirit stones, whether in Huoyun Moment or in the surrounding market.
Later, he asked around and found out that high-grade spirit stones were precious treasures that only Yuanying-stage cultivators were willing to use, and their spiritual power was nine hundred times more concentrated than that of medium-grade spirit stones.
But even if he had nine hundred medium-grade spirit stones, he could not exchange for high-grade ones.
However, Shu Han thought that as long as he reached Baiyu Sect, he would probably be able to get one or two high-grade spirit stones!
…………
Today was another peaceful day for Baiyu Sect.
Baiyu Sect was in the opposite direction of the expansion of the Demon Sound Sect, and was not harassed by the Demon Sect. Although the sect only had one old early Jindan strongman, the sect's formation had always been stable. Several spiritual mines in the jurisdiction could also continuously produce valuable spirit stones, although the output had not been very impressive, it was stable.
However, more than a decade ago, the incident that happened in the Tianzi No. 1 mine caused the sect's spirit stone output to drop sharply.
Hundreds of cultivators died in the underground mines that year, and the news spread to the surrounding casual cultivators.
As a result, no casual cultivators were willing to go to the Tianzi No. 1 mine of Baiyu Sect for a long time, and the Tianzi No. 1 mine was abandoned for many years.
After losing this income, many elders of Baiyu Sect were so anxious that their hair turned white, but the old sect master was indifferent.
This old Jindan period sect master seemed to be accustomed to such things. Even if the mine stopped production, he didn't care. He often said: "Wait a few more years, wait for this round of impact to pass."
Many young elders didn't know what "this round" meant, only the older elders knew what the sect master meant.
Sure enough, less than ten years after the mine disaster, the mining treatment was improved, and the Tianzi No. 1 mine was opened again.
At first, only a small number of casual cultivators were willing to come to mine, but as time went on, hearing that nothing had happened, more and more casual cultivators were willing to come, and the Tianzi No. 1 mine was once again filled with miners. It seems that no one remembers the mining disaster that killed hundreds of people more than ten years ago.
The world of casual cultivators is like this, turbulent like water, flowing like smoke. The casual cultivators with poor talents come and go for the opportunity to cultivate, so how can they remember this incident for a long time?
Just after noon on this day, the elder in the late stage of foundation building was still sitting by the mine to check the identity of a casual cultivator who had a mine under his name, just like he did more than ten years ago.
Suddenly, the terrifying air pressure was like an invisible mountain, pressing down mightily. All the Qi Refining cultivators at the scene lost their resistance in an instant and were all crushed to the ground by this terrifying momentum.
The elder in the late stage of foundation building was also trembling with fear. He clearly felt that a Jindan cultivator who was more powerful than the sect master was approaching quickly.
The old man couldn't help but feel a little dry in the mouth. After a moment of stunnedness, he shouted loudly: "A Jindan senior has arrived. Baiyu Sect cultivators, follow this elder to welcome the senior's arrival!"
Huh!
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying cyclone rushed over and directly flipped the trembling late foundation building old man over ten feet away.
The Qi Refining cultivators who were overwhelmed by the momentum were like fallen leaves in the wind, blown to pieces and disappeared in an instant.
The elder of the Baiyu Sect looked up and saw a young man covered in blood standing above the mine. Facing the sunlight, his exhausted face was very clear. Seeing this face, the elder of the Baiyu Sect suddenly realized and felt a sense of déjà vu.
Suddenly he remembered that more than a decade ago, before the mine disaster, among the last batch of casual cultivators who went down to the mine, there was a Qi Refining Stage junior who looked exactly like this Jindan Stage cultivator. At that time, the elders of the Baiyu Sect had a special impression of this junior, because the Qi Refining Stage junior suppressed his cultivation and had extremely strong magic power.
At that time, the elders of the Baiyu Sect thought that it was a disciple of a big sect who went out for training, so they didn't take it seriously and let him go down the mine directly. Unexpectedly, a serious mine disaster occurred afterwards.
"Are they the same person?"
Impossible! How could there be such a big gap in cultivation in just over a decade!
And the young man in the sky turned his head and looked behind him, without saying a word, he immediately turned into a stream of light and drilled into the mine. The elders of the Baiyu Sect were stunned.
What's going on? How could a powerful Jindan cultivator suddenly run into the sect's spiritual mine?
Soon, the elders of the Baiyu Sect felt the ground shaking violently, as if the Jindan cultivator was turning the tide in the mine.
"Oh my god! Hurry back and ask the master! Something big is going to happen!"
