The Great Elder said, "It's okay. Getting hurt is inevitable. The path to immortality is not that easy. When we first started practicing, it was common for us to die. This time, you're only injured, which is very merciful."
"The world of immortal cultivation is full of dangers and opportunities, full of competition and challenges. Survival of the fittest. If they can't handle a small situation like this, they will never achieve anything in the future and will only die miserably!"
"Before they came, they only thought about the flying of immortals. It's time to let them experience the cruelty of the immortal world!"
"Our Yunhai Sect is currently experiencing a period of transition, and even our parent sect, the Baiyun Sect, has been steadily declining over the past few hundred years."
"In this tiny country of Song, as a thousand-year-old sect born and raised here, we can't even protect our own little piece of land. Our interests are constantly being eroded, and other sects are almost riding on our necks and shitting on us."
"Among these sects that oppress us, there are both sects from our Song State and sects from our neighboring Yan State."
"You may have heard about the recent situation of the Yuanying powerhouses in the previous sect. If even one of them is missing, the sect may face a disaster. So we need strong people now, we need new strong people! We need strong people who can rise quickly!"
"If the sect remains unchanged and no new superpowers emerge, there will be no need for other sects to attack and seize our territory. Without our support, our sect will naturally hand over its millennia-old foundation to others."
The words of the Great Elder made all the elders silent.
They are all people who have experienced decades or even hundreds of years of cultivating immortals. How could they not know these principles?
Not to mention the competition between cultivators, the competition between sects is equally brutal and fierce! Today's selection test and these minor fights are really not worth mentioning.
On the flying boat, everyone had tied cloth bags around their waists and put the two spirit stone samples and the night pearl into the bags.
While everyone was focused on admiring the scenery in front of the flying boat, hoping to see the location of the mine first, Yuanxiao quietly pulled the fat boy and Xu Ying to the stern of the boat.
"I have a special situation here, so I have to act alone later. You two should act together and not get separated. Take care of yourselves, safety first. Remember to wait for me before you leave the mine." After saying that, he walked away without giving them a chance to ask.
Yuanxiao had already made up his mind. Both he and Xu Ying had already qualified as inner disciples, so if they couldn't find any low-grade spirit stones in the mine, then so be it.
If you find a low-grade spirit stone, keep it for the fat boy and secretly give it to him before leaving the mine. Try to help the fat boy get into the top three and help him get the qualification to be admitted as an inner disciple.
But I can only help up to this point. From now on it all depends on the little fat guy's luck.
Among the three of them, only the fat boy has not yet obtained the qualification to be admitted as an inner disciple.
"The mine is just ahead!" Manager Mo pointed.
Everyone looked in the direction and saw a circular platform at the foot of a mountain. Not far behind the platform, there was a huge hole on the mountain, which should be the entrance to the mine.
This mountain is quite tall and covers a large area. No wonder a mineral vein can be mined for decades or even hundreds of years. It really takes a lot of time to explore and excavate both above and below the ground.
The flying boat gradually approached and prepared to land, and finally stopped steadily on the circular platform.
When we really got closer, we found that the entrance to the mine was very tall. However, because it had been abandoned for a long time, weeds were overgrown at the entrance, and the weeds on the ground did not show any signs of being trampled, proving that no one had been here for a long time, or very few people had come here.
Standing at the door, you can faintly feel a comfortable breath coming towards you. This is aura.
Although the spirit stone veins have been mined, there are still some residual miscellaneous spirit stones. These miscellaneous spirit stones contain a certain amount of spiritual energy. Although they cannot be used directly for cultivation, they can be used as fertilizer to improve the soil environment.
If you pick it up and throw it on the land in the spiritual medicine garden, it can increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the soil, and it can also enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in the air of the spiritual medicine garden, which is extremely beneficial to the growth of spiritual herbs.
When Yuanxiao felt this spiritual energy, he was shocked. He was not unfamiliar with this energy!
The faint mist emanating from the surface of the Apocalypse Pearl is exactly this kind of aura, except that the mist it emits is purer and more comfortable than the aura at the entrance of the mine. It feels like the same kind of thing, but of a higher quality!
Yuanxiao had already made a judgment in his mind that the Apocalypse Pearl contained a large amount of spiritual energy, and its quality was higher than that of the lower-grade spirit stones.
It is confirmed without a doubt that these high-quality spiritual energies that form the light mist come from the Apocalypse Pearl.
But how much spiritual energy is there in total? How can we fully utilize it? This remains to be explored.
But Yuanxiao already had some plans in mind. This time, after entering the mine, he had the opportunity and he must give it a try.
Last time, Yuanxiao used the Apocalypse Pearl to purify the pills. After the impurities in the pills were removed, the shiny essence of the pills was left behind, proving that the Apocalypse Pearl has the function of purification.
So, can the Apocalypse Pearl purify miscellaneous spirit stones?
Is it possible to purify the miscellaneous spirit stones and transform them into lower-grade spirit stones?
If this conjecture is correct, then Yuanxiao will be prosperous!
With low-grade spirit stones, the hard currency in the world of cultivation, cultivation will definitely be much faster.
By then, not to mention Wang Yin, even his cousin Wang Jin, as long as given a certain amount of time, Yuanxiao is confident that he can surpass them.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Apocalypse Pearl can purify and refine miscellaneous spirit stones and turn them into low-grade spirit stones.
Fortunately, the answer is right in front of us and we can try it today!
"Go in, and remember the elders' instructions today! The night-shining pearls in your hands are specially designed. We've already set them up. Tomorrow, around noon, when they begin to vibrate and flash with multicolored light, the test will end."
"After you see this, return to the mine entrance within an hour and gather on the circular platform! A pointer will appear on the Night Pearl. Follow the pointer and you will reach the mine entrance."
"I will wait here for you to come out. Now enter the mine!" Manager Mo raised his hand and made a gesture to enter.
Yuanxiao walked into the mine and found that there was a huge platform inside the door. The dome was inlaid with several huge night pearls. Two of the huge night pearls were still intact, so he could see the scenery here clearly.
The ground here is flat and wide, like a square. I guess when the mine was mined, this was where people gathered, materials gathered, and the spiritual stone ore was circulated, so a huge space was needed at the entrance.
At the edge of this square, there are many dark mines. Some are on the ground at the edge, extending underground; some are on the mountain, extending forward; and a few mines are inclined upward on the mountain, extending towards the top of the mountain.
At a rough glance, there are hundreds of mines, and more of them lead underground. After all, it is more likely that the mineral veins are underground, and the underground storage space is also larger.
Yuanxiao avoided the crowd and walked along the edge of the square.
This time he had to act alone and had two things to do.
The first is to guard against Wang Yin's attack and find an opportunity to counterattack, and the second is to secretly complete the experiment of using the Apocalypse Pearl to purify the miscellaneous spirit stones!
