Chapter 81 Searching for the Spirit Mine
After tens of millions of years of baptism, many places will inadvertently undergo earth-shaking changes. Some places have become more barren, and in others they have become fertile soil.
And some of these places, after tens of millions of years of precipitation, may form spirit stone veins of different grades in the depths of the earth. However, this probability is very low, even less than the probability of just in case. In the Cangmang Continent, because of the vast territory, countless vein spirit stones have also been formed.
However, most of these spirit stone veins were discovered and possessed by those powerful forces. A primary spirit stone vein can make an ordinary force develop into a powerful force in just a few decades, so there will be various wars for the spirit stone vein in this world every day, tens of thousands of people will die because of this, and countless forces will die because of it.
The world of the warrior is bloody, it is a world that follows the law of the jungle and respects the strong, and in such a world, there is no reason at all. As long as you are strong enough, you have the initiative, you have the ability to specify the rules.
And if you want to have strong strength or power, you need a large number of spirit stones to pile up. Owning spirit stones allows a martial artist to have enough cultivation resources, and can allow a force to cultivate a lot of strong people.
Take the Tang Kingdom, where the Longzhou Mansion is located, as an example, the reason why the Tang Kingdom was able to occupy a piece of territory as a country was because the ancestors of the Tang royal family accidentally discovered a medium-grade spirit stone vein back then. Since the existence of the spirit stone vein, the original Tang family has cultivated a large number of powerful warriors from an unpopular force in just a few decades, so as to continue to conquer the world in the southern regions, and finally occupy a place to establish a country and enjoy thousands of years of wealth.
There are dozens of countries like the Tang Kingdom in the Southern Regions, and in addition to the power of these countries, there are also some sects that have gradually become giants because they have veins of spirit stones of different grades.
So when Lu Yan and Lu Yi found out that there were traces of spiritual veins in this stone pit, they were both very shocked and excited. As a member of the Lu family, of course, they hope that the Lu family can also become a powerful force like those royal families and sects and go to the top.
Therefore, after accidentally obtaining the treasure of Great Qin, especially the Holy Emperor Sutra, a bold idea popped up in Lu Yan's heart, and this idea deepened in his mind day by day.
So after getting up this morning, he deliberately didn't go outside to practice. Instead, after eating, he took the demon bear around the stone pit, hoping to find and confirm whether there was really a spirit stone vein here.
Looking at the spirit flowers and spirit grasses around him that exuded rich energy fluctuations, Lu Yan became more and more convinced in his heart that there must be spiritual veins underground, otherwise it would be impossible for so many spirit flowers and spirit grasses to grow in such a closed environment here.
At the beginning, Lu Yan used a wisp of his spiritual power to penetrate into the ground, hoping to discover the spiritual vein. But Lu Yan's idea was still too simple, after his spiritual power penetrated into the ground, he only sensed that the roots of those spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses were constantly absorbing spiritual energy from the ground, but he couldn't detect the full picture of the real spiritual veins, and he didn't dare to dig the soil rashly, for fear that finding the wrong place would destroy those spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses.
But fortunately, there is a demon bear by his side, and this guy can directly absorb aura from the ground. So Lu Yan took the demon bear to investigate one place at a time, and every time Lu Yan's spiritual power sensed a place where the aura fluctuation was relatively strong, he asked the demon bear to lie down to absorb the aura, and then judged by the amount and speed of the demon bear absorbing the aura.
This has been going on for about an hour, and they have already explored dozens of places through this method. However, the results obtained have not been very satisfactory, so far it can only be determined that there must be a spiritual vein below, but the main vein has not yet been determined.
"Roar.. At this moment, the demon bear lying on the ground suddenly turned his head and let out a low roar towards Lu Yan, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and there was a trace of excitement and expectation in his expression.
"How is it, isn't the energy fluctuation here much stronger?" Lu Yan asked excitedly towards the demon bear.
"Roar.. Roar!" the demon bear roared excitedly.
"Okay, then dig from here," Lu Yan laughed and praised the demon bear, and immediately took out a long sword from the space ring.
"You get up first, stand aside and watch, and I'll handle the rest of the work," Lu Yan commanded towards the demon bear.
The demon bear also immediately understood what Lu Yan meant, stood up from the ground excitedly, and then stood quietly behind.
After the demon bear got up, Lu Yan used his long sword to draw a circle with a radius of one zhang along the place where the demon bear was lying just now. Then he carefully dug out the spirit flower and spirit grass growing in the circle, cleared the soil and put it into the space ring.
After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Yan cleaned up all the spirit flowers and spirit grass in the circle. At this time, Lu Yan was already sweating profusely, and his clothes were already stained with a lot of mud, but he didn't feel any tiredness, and there was a trace of excitement and excitement on his whole face.
If you dig from here, you may soon be able to see the spiritual veins that you have been thinking about day and night. For Lu Yan, who had not yet seen the spirit vein, his heart was very excited and nervous. After all, in a place like Tang Kingdom, except for the royal family and those few powerful sects, there are no more forces that have spiritual veins, and even if there are, only a few families and sects have some low-level spiritual veins, not to mention places like Longzhou Mansion where spiritual stones are rarely seen.
Standing up, Lu Yan gently wiped the sweat on his face, the hand holding the long sword even trembled a little, his heart fluctuated more strongly than before, and his mouth kept panting.
After a short rest, Lu Yan gently patted the dirt on his clothes, then bent down with his whole body, held the long sword in his hand and thrust it into the soil, and flipped upwards with a piece of dirt.
This action was repeated, and soon a small pit about two feet deep was dug in the circle, and a thick layer of black dirt was piled around it. Lu Yan increased his strength in his hand and continued to dig down.
"Knort"
When he had been digging to a depth of nearly five feet or so, there was a sudden piercing crash, Lu Yan's heart was shocked, his face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly put the long sword aside, and then gently picked up the dirt with his hand.
"Whew" When the soil was peeled off, revealing what was hidden inside, Lu Yan exhaled a heavy breath, and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face. Because when he peeled off the dirt, he didn't see the spirit stone he hoped for, but a gray stone the size of a fist. However, what made him feel a little happy was that at this time, in his induction, the energy fluctuation of the aura was already very obvious, and it was basically determined that there was no doubt that there was a spirit stone below, but it was still impossible to determine how deep it was.
Patting off the dirt on his hands, Lu Yan picked up the long sword next to him and dug out the stone with force. When the stones were dug up, the scene in front of him made Lu Yan's face regain excitement. Because the soil under the rocks is very dry and scattered, it is almost a foot away from the ground.
Lu Yan didn't immediately dig up the dry soil, but dug out the soil around the long sword mud pit, and continued to expand the mud pit outward. When all this was done, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed, and Lu Yan squatted down and used his hands to pick up the loose soil.
The moment his hands touched the soil, a faint aura was transmitted from the palm of his hand into his body. Feeling this faint aura transmitted into his body, Lu Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly accelerated the movements in his hands.
Soon those loose dirt were all cleaned up by Lu Yan, and the things below finally revealed their true colors. I saw that a fist-sized pale yellow square was exposed to the sight, surrounded by some dirt, with a layer of misty halo on it, emitting a wave of energy.
"Sure enough, it's a spirit stone," Lu Yan shouted excitedly.
When the demon bear above heard Lu Yan's exclamation, he also came over, and looked down, his big copper bell-like eyes were also full of excitement, and his mouth also let out a roar of excitement.
