Chapter 158: A drop in the bucket
Lu Chen immediately probed Zhihai, and inspected the ten acres of Zhihai back and forth three times, but the flame red hairs seemed to be completely integrated into Zhihai, and no trace could be found.
After thinking secretly for a while, Lu Chen put his mind at ease. First, although he didn't know what the Flame Red Hair was, Lu Chen could feel that the Flame Red Hair didn't have any harm to his body, and even had certain benefits. It's just that the flame red hairs that he extracted from the low-grade fire attribute spirit stone are too few, and he can't come up with a specific miracle. Moreover, the Flame Red Hair itself came from the lower-grade fire attribute spirit stone, and Lu Chen's cultivation with the lower-grade fire attribute spirit stone would be fine, and the refined Flame Red Hair should be fine.
No longer caring about the flame red hair, Lu Chen immersed himself in cultivation. First, he used the Fire Proverb to refine the lower-grade fire attribute spirit stones into non-attribute spirit stones, and then used the non-attribute spirit stones to cultivate the divine sword qi cultivation technique...... At this point, Lu Chen's problems in the cultivation of the exercises have been gradually solved.
During the day, Lu Chen first mined a large number of lower-grade fire-attribute spirit stones, then took out ten spirit stones from them, and then used the Fire Proverb to refine half of the remaining lower-grade fire-attribute spirit stones into non-attribute spirit stones. This half of the non-attribute spirit stone was naturally used for the cultivation of the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique, while the remaining half of the fire attribute spirit stone was used for the cultivation of the Heavenly Scripture.
Cultivating the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Sutra is not the same as cultivating the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique, and the Gluttonous Devouring Heaven Sutra does not reject the fire attribute aura, so Lu Chen doesn't need to waste time refining the remaining half of the lower grade fire attribute spirit stones into non-attribute spirit stones one by one. As for the Flame Red Hair, Lu Chen didn't plan to pay attention to it for the time being, and after the Nine Dragons Proverb was raised, Lu Chen would naturally take the time to figure out the mystery contained in the Flame Red Hair.
When the busy day was over and he returned to the Cave Mansion Peak at night, Lu Chen refined the Nine Treasure Quenching Body Fluid in his Cave Mansion, and used the medicinal power of the Nine Treasure Quenching Body Fluid to attract the energy in his body and awaken a new little gluttony.
Although day after day, every day in the mine, Lu Chen lived a very fulfilling life, because his strength was improving every day. Whether it was in the spirit stone pit during the day or returning to Dongfu Peak at night, Lu Chen was always in good spirits, and the dragon spirit was fierce, which surprised and envied Jiang Feiyun and the others.
At the beginning, Xia Hantian, Bai Murong and Wei Wenyan secretly made trouble in the matter of the distribution of outer disciples and assigned Lu Chen to the mine hall, and Xia Hantian and the three of them naturally did not have a good heart towards Lu Chen. If Xia Hantian and the three of them knew that Lu Chen was like a fish in water in the mine hall at the moment, they would definitely regret what they did about the distribution of outer disciples.
It's just that from beginning to end, Xia Hantian didn't really take such a small role as Lu Chen in his eyes, since he assigned Lu Chen to the mine hall at the end of the outer disciple assessment, Xia Hantian no longer remembered Lu Chen's existence. Of course, Xia Hantian had enough reasons to despise Lu Chen, because as long as Wei Wenyan was there, Lu Chen would never want to become an inner disciple of the Red Fire Sect, and he would never want to leave the mine. Mining spirit stones in the mine hall of the Red Fire Gate is the only thing Lu Chen has to do in the second half of his life, unless Lu Chen takes the initiative to give up his identity as a disciple of the outer sect of the Red Fire Gate, and then quit the Red Fire Gate.
Time flies, and it has been almost a month since Lu Chen came to the mine. In this month, Luchen has harvested a lot.
Constantly cultivating gluttony and devouring the Heavenly Sutra, so that the physical body awakens to the sixty-eighth little glutton! The physical body awakens a small glutton, which can make Lu Chen have the power of three bulls. At this moment, regardless of the Divine Sword Qi cultivation technique, just by gluttonous devouring the Heavenly Scripture, Lu Chen's physical strength has reached the power of two hundred and four oxen!
At this moment, Lu Chen no longer has to exert all his strength as before, and he can exert ten thousand catties of great power with his hands! This is just the power of a technique of gluttonous devouring the Heavenly Sutra.
And the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique also broke through, stepping into the Qi Sea Five Heavens! Compared to the Qi Sea Four Heavens, the Qi Sea in the dantian expanded by about double. Moreover, the physical body withstood the breakthrough of the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique, and there was no sign of collapse.
The Divine Sword Qi cultivation technique broke through, the sea of qi grew, and the true qi was surging, once again repelling the barren stone located in the Luchen Dantian, causing a large amount of dragon qi in the barren stone to escape outward. Lu Chen immediately ran the first part of the Nine Dragons Proverbs, the Proverbs of Fire, and the Origin Dragon Crystal absorbed and refined the dragon qi and continued to condense and grow, and finally changed from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a grain of rice. After reaching a new balance with the Divine Sword Qi Cultivation Technique, the dragon qi in the barren stone stopped escaping outward.
At the same time, Lu Chen's understanding of the six-style marksmanship is also deeper.
If Lu Chen could have the strength at this time during the first battle in Xishan, even if Leng Xiong and Lin Yuan joined forces, Lu Chen would have the confidence to let the people of the Leng family and the Lin family all be buried in Xishan without being injured!
Although his own strength has become stronger, Lu Chen's clear eyes do not have the slightest sense of arrogance, but instead reveal a hint of desire, he longs to have more powerful power!
After seeing Ji Zhenfu of the Seven Yin Valley, Tian Gaoluo of the Qingxiao Sect, and Fan Sheng, the elder of the Red Fire Gate Mine Hall, Lu Chen profoundly knew that the Qi Sea Realm was only the lowest level of the Martial Dao Path, and the Martial Dao Cultivators of the Qi Sea Realm were only the lowest level of existence on the Martial Dao Path. His own strength was not worth mentioning in front of any True Gang Realm martial arts cultivator, not to mention that Tian Gaoluo was still a high-ranking and powerful elder in the Qingxiao Sect.
In the early morning of this day, Lu Chen finished his night of cultivation, without any tiredness, his eyes were full of energy, and he stepped out of the cave and went to the spirit stone mine with Jiang Feiyun and the others.
It's just that today seems to be slightly different from the past, Lu Chen noticed that Jiang Feiyun was twisting a large package in his hand, and the package seemed to be very heavy. Lu Chen thought for a moment, and did not take the liberty of using the power of sea knowledge to probe the package that Jiang Feiyun was twisting in his hand.
However, before everyone approached the spirit stone pit, Lu Chen heard a burst of noise and the sound of gold and iron clashing from the spirit stone mine in the distance. After listening carefully and making sure that there was no doubt, a flash of surprise flashed in Lu Chen's eyes, could it be that someone dared to pull out his teeth and make trouble in the spirit stone veins of the mine hall, one of the four halls of the sect?
And at this moment, Lu Chen saw Ning Yu and said excitedly, "Captain, it's already started!" Jiang Feiyun nodded, and Wu Tao and Qiu Feng also looked eager to try.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Qiu Feng on the side: "If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a fierce battle breaking out in the spirit stone pit at this moment, but I don't seem to be worried at all, what's going on?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you about it. Qiu Feng patted his head with his big hand and smiled apologetically: "Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow are the three days off in each month stipulated by the Mine Hall. During these three days, the people of the Mine Hall did not need to mine spirit stones. In these three days, the first day is the day of gambling stones, the second day is the day of paying stones, and the last day is the real day of repair. ”
"What does it mean to gamble on stone day?" Lu Chen said in surprise, but he already had a faint guess in his heart. The battle that broke out in the spirit stone pit should have been allowed by the mine, otherwise there would not have been such a big disturbance. Realizing this, Lu Chen relieved himself. In fact, if you think about it, I was really worried about it just now. The Red Fire Gate is one of the three major sects in Qingyun County, who dares to really pull out the teeth of the tiger.
"Stone gambling day is that each mining team takes out a part of the spirit stone as a bet, and then each mining team wins the bet with the victory or defeat of the battle between the team members, or loses the bet. Autumn Wind explained.
"The mined spirit stones don't belong to the sect, and they can be used as a bet on the battle?" Lu Chen said in surprise.
Before Qiu Feng could explain to Lu Chen, Ning Yu took the lead and said, "Haha, you are wrong about this. No matter who the spirit stone ends up in the hands of, it needs to be handed over to Elder Fan the next day. However, once the spirit stones that were used as bets are lost, the number of spirit stones handed in by those who lose spirit stones this month will be reduced accordingly. And if the person who wins the bet, the number of spirit stones handed over this month will naturally increase accordingly!"
As soon as Ning Yu said this, Lu Chen suddenly understood.
First, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the total amount of spirit stones handed over to Elder Fan by all the Mine Hall disciples will not change. Moreover, the disciples who entered the mine hall were in order to complete the amount of spirit stone mining stipulated by the sect within the time specified by the sect. The mining of a spirit stone is very time-consuming, and if a large number of spirit stones can be obtained through a battle, the people of the mine hall are naturally more willing to fight. In the end, although the disciples of the mine hall are not yet the outer disciples of the sect, they are all genuine martial arts monks, and with so many martial arts monks gathered together, even if they are bound by the rules of the sect, it is impossible to really completely stop. Gambling stones, naturally, will be born.
"That's probably what Gambling Day is. Without waiting for Lu Chen to ask, Qiu Feng continued: "As for the stone payment day, the spirit stones mined in the mine hall need to be regularly transported to the other three halls of the sect every month, so after the stone gambling day of each month, it is the day when we deliver the spirit stones to Elder Fan Sheng. The last day of cultivation is the real stop, but many Mine Hall disciples will choose to go to the Red Fire City on this day to indulge themselves. ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly, glanced at the package twisted in Jiang Feiyun's hand, and already had the answer in his heart. It seems that the package is full of spirit stones that they have mined in the past month, and there is also a share of their own contribution in it. Ten low-grade fire attribute spirit stones a day is three hundred spirit stones a month, but after removing three days, there are only two hundred and seventy spirit stones.
Counting the spirit stones mined by Jiang Feiyun and the others in a month, Lu Chen estimated that he and the others had mined at least 1,300 low-grade fire attribute spirit stones in a month, which still did not count the number of spirit stones that Ning Yu and the others quietly mined in the spirit stone mine late every night. When you get to the spirit stone mine, you have to use some of these spirit stones as a bet.
Lu Chen didn't think much about the battle. And there are about more than 300 people in the entire mine, and the number of low-grade fire attribute spirit stones produced in the mine hall in a month should not be less than 100,000! 100,000 spirit stones, Lu Chen was secretly surprised, and then he was relieved when he thought about it. One hundred thousand spirit stones may be a lot for one person, but for a big sect, I'm afraid it can only be a drop in the bucket.
