Chapter 22: Shine Stone
Although rats do not have a strong attack power like other ferocious demon beasts, they are indeed the darlings of the heavens.
Their fur and bones are extremely tough, especially the pair of front paws, which can be broken into stone and gold.
Not only can they make holes, but after cultivating, the spiritual power of the rats is stronger than that of other demon beasts, which makes them have an extraordinary perception and naturally know how to take advantage and avoid harm.
After Xi Ning turned into the main body, he opened a passage downward like an electric drill, and the hard mountain stone met the pair of claws glowing with silver light, like tofu meeting a sharp blade, invincible.
Shu Li also imitated her behind Xi Ning to dig the rocks, different from Xi Ning, but whenever she touched her right front paw, the mountain stones instantly turned into powder and fell silently, while the left front paw was normal. Shu Li quietly retracted her right paw and used only her left paw to learn to dig a hole.
After digging for most of the day, after adjusting the direction several times, finally, Xi Ning seemed to have found the right direction and moved straight forward.
Not long after, Xi Ning turned into a human form, touched a handful of sweat that did not appear with his sleeve, and turned around and asked Shu Li: "Li'er, what might you sense?" ”
Shu Li closed her deep eyes, adjusted her breathing, and quietly adjusted her senses to the best state, not letting go of a trace of movement around her.
"Grandmother, this place should be east of the Xi tribe, and deep underground. The east side of the Xi nationality is humid all year round, densely covered with swamps and streams, so the underground should be damp and cold, and there are even many underground rivers. It's all hard stone, dry and warm, and the warm smell seems to exist underground. ”
Xi Ning nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Li'er, are you hungry?" ”
Of course hungry!
She hadn't eaten for most of the day, and she had dug the cave passage for so long, and Shu Li was already hungry and had a stomachache. The hateful thing is that the Xuan Li in the body is still running on its own all the time, and it can't find the energy in the stomach to torture all parts of the body, if it weren't for Shu Li's strong self-control, the limbs would have been constantly calling!
Xi Ning's palm pressed against the undug stone wall in front of him, and said, "Child, your food is behind this layer of rocks." ”
Shu Li stepped forward in disbelief, stretched out her right front paw, and gently poked the rock with the tip of her fingernail.
Burst! A hole appeared in it.
Pull out the nails, which seem to be stained with some faint glitter powder, put them under your nose and sniff them.
"Grandmother, this is the smell of star stones."
Xi Ning chuckled and nodded: "Yes, it's the Star Stone." ”
As he spoke, he saw Xi Ning wave his sleeves, and the strong wind cut and crushed the layer of rock on the stone wall like an axe blade, and what appeared in front of them was a whole starry stone wall!
Shu Li only knew that the Star Stone and Star Stone Powder were the materials used to make the magic circle, which was rich in a certain amount of energy, and it was a small piece like a finger on weekdays, where had he ever seen such a big one.
"The continent we are on is based on strength. Cultivating Xuanli can gain strong strength. And this mysterious power can come from all kinds of energy in nature. In nature, the purest and most rich carrier of energy is Yaoshi! According to the level of energy contained, Yaoshi is divided into obsidian stone, moon shining stone, and star shining stone, which can be used as currency, magic circle material, cultivation energy, and so on. ”
Since the star stone that Shu Li came into contact with on weekdays was very small and the number was not much, I didn't expect the star stone to have such a big effect.
"The energy of the same level of Yaoshi is fixed, so Yaoshi can be used as currency. This is the Yaoshi mine owned by the Xi people. It is also the only Yaoshi mine in the Qingxuan Mountain Range! ”
Shu Li's mouth opened to the maximum, she didn't expect that the little Xi clan actually had mines!
"Among the demon beasts, only the Xi Rat can mine the Yao Stone intact, so even if the demon beasts of the entire Qingxuan Mountain Range are blushing at the wealth of the Xi Clan, they do not dare to act rashly. However, the Xi Clan has no successors in recent years, and other demon beasts are ready to move, so the Great Elder has to give up the Yaoshi Mine and the Tiger Clan, the Bear Clan, and the Ape Clan, as a reward for hiring them to come and jointly protect the Yaoshi Mine. ”
Shu Li was puzzled: "Since there is a Yao Stone Mine, why can't the Xi Clan use all the Yao Shi for the clan to cultivate?" The strength of the clansmen has been improved, but are you afraid that you won't be able to hold the mine? Can't you kill the enemy? ”
Ning smiled bitterly and said, "The 'materials' that the six elders distribute to the clansmen on time every month are Yaoshi, but now the generation of rats is not as good as the generation, and using a large amount of Yaoshi will only backfire." After absorbing the energy of Yaoshi, it needs to be refined into Xuan Li, and many rats have a slow refining speed, and the energy is stored in the body, which not only makes it difficult to advance in strength, but also causes the body to explode and die. ”
She patted Shu Li's head gently: "Your physique is different from ordinary people, and your energy is refined into Xuan Li almost as soon as it enters your body, and your grandmother has never seen such a talent." That's why my grandmother is relieved to bring you here. Although the demon crystal can supply you with cultivation, it is far less fast and pure than Yaoshi! ”
"This is the boundary of the Yaoshi mine, far away from the mining site, and it is not easy to be discovered, so we live here for a while."
Once Xi Ning's stealing of the Yao Stone Mine was discovered, it broke the agreement between the Xi clan and the other three clans, and at that time, the other three clans were angry and attacked him, and the Xi clan would definitely not be able to resist. Therefore, Xi Ning's move took a great risk and must not be discovered.
Shu Li is very grateful to her grandmother for her dedication, but she is only grateful for her low ability now, and what she can do for Xi Ning is very limited.
"Grandmother doesn't ask you for anything in return, she just wishes you a safe, smooth and happy life." Xi Ning touched Shu Li's moist eyes, smiled and kissed Shu Li's forehead: "The pear is hungry, Yaoshi's taste is much better than the demon crystal, eat it!" ”
A whole wall of starry stones, shimmering with an alluring sheen. Shu Li pounced on it and gnawed on it regardless of the image.
Although the Yao Shi was hard, it was a rat that specialized in restraining it, and I saw that the Xingyao Stone slipped into Shu Li's throat like a freeze, and it immediately turned into energy and was swept into the tendons and veins by the Xuan Li circulating in the abdomen.
Soon, an entire starry stone wall entered Shu Li's stomach.
Subsequently, Shu Li entered a state of slumbering cultivation.
Xi Ning was relieved to protect the side, and continued to expand the cave softly, digging a large number of Yao Stones for Shu Li.
With the help of Yaoshi, Shu Li had no worries, cultivated quickly, and soon reached the late stage of the Xuantian Realm.
Shu Li, who is in the late stage of the Xuan Qi Realm, may break through to the Xuan Qi Realm at any time.
Xi Ning was worried that the fluctuation would be noticed by the elders guarding the Yao Stone Mine, so he planned to venture deep into the Yao Stone Mine to find some Moon Yao Stones and Sun Stones that were rich in higher energy, and after collecting enough Yao Stones, he would return to the stone chamber to cultivate to avoid being noticed.
