◈ Volume 2 "Returning the Sun" ◈ Chapter 117 The Veins at the Bottom of the Spring
Xiao Youran is really speechless, why do you have to pay off the debts one or two, this is too utilitarian, right?
But it's nothing to think about, anyway, they are all "their own people", and not only do they need help from others, but they also need to rely on others to save their lives, and it is also appropriate to collect some "hard-earned money", isn't it just mental power, and it's not something rare.
"This, how much mental energy does it take to say a few words?"
After trying to contact the remnants a few more times, and found that there was no response, Xiao Youran shook his head, got up and sat down, and began to use his exercises to absorb the soul fluid in his stomach.
However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, in his sea of knowledge, the "second senior brother" didn't know what method he used, and finally filled the void pit left by the burst of the mountain peak, and he could no longer see any traces from the appearance, and then his body went weak and collapsed directly to the ground.
"Rabbit cub, trigger the reincarnation seal and don't even say hello, almost took Lao Tzu's life, alas, ......"
Lying there looking at the remnants of the sky and scolding, the voice was already weak, and the body that had originally condensed a little bit had become as transparent and illusory as it had been, and even more so......
"Boom......"
After purifying and absorbing the soul fluid in his body, Xiao leisurely got up and spit out the residual liquid containing impurities, wiped his mouth, looked at the pool full of soul liquid with bright eyes, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and then a tiger pounced and jumped into the pool.
What will happen to the purified soul liquid after entering the sea of knowledge, Xiao Youran can't check it now, the interference of the underground veins on the divine thoughts still exists all the time, but it is good to be able to absorb it, even if it is just more seawater in this pool at that time, it is better than nothing.
However, if you come up to purify and absorb every time you are full, it is a waste of time and physical strength, and the troublesome smile simply sits in the pool while sucking and spitting, although it is possible to spit out what he spits out and then "drink" it, he himself feels a little disgusting, but as long as he can save some effort, he still doesn't mind.
After a few hours like this, he finally absorbed a pool of soul liquid ninety percent of his smile leisurely, but stared at the spring of fresh soul liquid gushing out of the foil, and his face was longer than a horse, this guy kept coming out, when will it be considered a head?
"Sample, you dare to provoke me, watch this son suck you dry!Bah~!"
After confronting the "big eyes and small eyes" of the hidden spring for a long time, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the "eyes" of the spring were full of ridicule and contempt, so angry that he screamed, threw himself on it, directly blocked it with his mouth, and sucked it hard.
"Ahem...... I'll go...... cough cough cough ......"
As a result, in less than half an hour, Xiao Youran coughed violently and had to let go of his mouth, he could cut off the flow of the spring, but when he spit out the residual liquid after absorption, he was choked back by the soul liquid poured into his mouth, and it squirted directly out of his nose.
This choked him with tears and snot, coughed darkly, and held his hands by the spring, and unconsciously secretly exerted force to support his body, but he had not noticed from the beginning that the springs that had protruded from the ground were now almost level with the ground under the pressure of his support.
In fact, when the statue exploded just now, the inside of this spring had been affected, and there were several small cracks from the inside out, and now it was pressed on it by Xiao Youran, and the cracks were even more cracked and spreading, and it was close to the limit of bearing, and then it was pressured by the dark force and vibration when he coughed, and the result was naturally ......
"Boom...... Whoa......"
After a roar, without having time to react at all, the entire ground near the Tongyou Spring, including the pool, collapsed directly, like a huge mouth from the abyss, and then the surrounding sand and gravel filled in to bridge the hole, and after the smoke and dust dissipated, except that the ground looked slightly lower than the original, there were no other traces!
And the cavity below the collapse of this spring is a natural tunnel with a width of more than a zhang, although it is all the way down, but it is not vertical, but tossing and turning, so Xiao leisurely after rolling down a slope, the earth and stone fall, the passage behind him is completely closed and buried.
When he got up with a smile in his eyes and a golden star, he was instantly shocked by the wonder in this tunnel, and his eyes were a little straight.
The four walls of this tunnel are not ordinary rock and soil, it looks like a muddy crystal, and there is a faint light emanating from it, and this ghost light is like breathing, sometimes bright and dark, and the frequency is different, it seems that this tunnel space is like a dream, giving people a confusing feeling.
"It's ...... Soul Crystal?!"
Gently rubbing his fingers against the crystal wall, he smiled and whispered in disbelief.
You must know that although this soul crystal is not comparable to the spirit crystal, which is extremely scarce in the heavenly realm, but for the earthly realm cultivators, it is a heavenly and earthly treasure that is more precious than the soul liquid, and any small piece can be fried for a sky-high price, but what is in front of Xiao Youran is a whole soul crystal vein!
The soul crystal vein, known as the ghost vein in ancient times, is a special vein that naturally exists since the beginning of the earth's realm, and it is named because it is connected to the nine shadows.
However, the formation of the earth boundary has long since passed tens of thousands of years, and the hidden veins discovered by cultivators have long been mined cleanly, and there may still be a few small veins that are extremely secret and remote that have not been discovered, but a super-large vein of this scale will never exist.
And the reason why this ghost vein can be preserved to this day is nothing more than the same as its Shangtong Youquan soul liquid, the soul crystal contains Xuan Qi inside, which cannot be refined and absorbed by people or used for other purposes, presumably the soul liquid is produced after squeezing each other because there are too many soul crystals in the ground.
Just now, Xiao Youran also learned from the remnant thoughts that there was a ghost vein underground, but he never thought that it was such a scale, no wonder its interference with the divine thought was so strong, in the ghost vein channel, he found that it was extremely difficult to release the divine thought, this can no longer be said to be interference, it is almost equivalent to blocking!
If someone suddenly enters an unfamiliar environment, even if there are treasures everywhere in front of them, at least they must be cautious, first explore the surrounding situation, confirm that it is absolutely safe, and there is no crisis, and then they will calm down and consider the matter of transportation, but people laugh leisurely but don't have the heart to think about those who don't.
"So many good things, what to do... What to do......"
The mouth is babbling, and the person is so anxious that he turns around like an ant on a hot pot, and the melancholy expression on his face is more miserable than that of a deep resentful woman.
If you choose to absorb the soul liquid like before, it will definitely not work, although the soul crystal can be melted into the soul liquid with a little refining, but with the existing cultivation of Xiao Youran, it is impossible to refine the soul crystal in vitro, and it must be mined and ground before swallowing, and if you want to absorb it in this way, then when will you have to rest?
Moreover, although the hardness of this soul crystal is not as good as that of the spirit crystal, it is not something that he can mine with his bare hands, and he tried to pry it with a "spatula" for a long time, but he only barely managed to get a small piece of broken corner.
However, Xiao Youran was amazed by this, this unknown and useless spatula, its sturdiness was indeed eye-catching, even if the sharp corners of the soul crystal were so hard and sharp, not even a single scratch was left on its surface.
In desperation, Xiao Youran had to choose to give up temporarily, even if he could contact the remnants now, presumably he had no way to get the best of both worlds, and now he could only "endure the pain and cut his love", first leave these good things here temporarily, and then find a way to mine them when he has the ability in the future, anyway, he is not afraid of being taken by others, who will let them be blessed?
To comfort himself, he smiled leisurely and walked along the passage like a reassuring pill, but even so, he was nostalgic, turning back three times one step at a time, sighing and gradually moving away, and there was a faint sadness wafting in the passage he passed......
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Youran felt that he had walked hundreds of miles in this huge underground vein, but fortunately, although there were branches in this vein, most of them were obvious, and the few indistinguishable forks were relatively short, so that he did not take any detours.
And when the surrounding crystal walls became thicker and the end of the passage gradually widened, Xiao Youran finally came to an extremely open underground world, and a huge spring in the center of it attracted his attention.
