Chapter 516 Fifth Level Spiritual Vein
"late."

Qin Ming said this in a cold voice, and then began to use the soul-searching technique on Sha Kang.

"Ahhh!"

The sky was filled with shrill screams, the endless pain coming from the soul level was so frightening to hear.

After a few breaths.

Qin Ming had already obtained all the information he wanted to know from the other person's mind.

He used the Thorn Spell on the corpse of Thousand Illusions Demon Lord and the corpse of Old Ghost Shakang, obtaining two blood beads and a storage bag, and then threw the corpses into the Small Spirit Realm as fertilizer.

The matter of the top-grade spirit stone is of great importance, so the news must not be leaked.

As for the low-level disciples of the Sha family, they were all killed by the evil cultivators, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After doing all this.

Qin Ming then came to Mo Lingwei and the others and gave them some healing pills.

After taking the elixir, their complexions looked better.

"Thank you for the rescue, Master Island Master. Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise it would be disastrous."

Mo Lingwei almost thought that she was going to be kidnapped by the Yuanying monster.

At the same time, they were also shocked by Qin Ming's ruthless methods.

Killing a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage was as easy as eating and drinking water for Qin Ming.
It seems that the strength of their island master is far more than what it seems on the surface, and they are becoming more and more in awe of him.

At the same time, I am also happy to have such a big backer.

Qin Ming said calmly: "It's okay, as long as you are fine, go and do your business with me first."

Subsequently.

He then took the three of them and flew towards the Sha family's mine.

Qin Ming found out through soul searching that this old ghost Sha was secretly making a deal with True Lord Qingchen. He was the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Ancient Sword Sect, and his disciples probably didn't know about this.

Moreover, as the Sha family continued their excavation, they only saw the initial clues and did not dig up the real top-grade spirit stones.

The reason is that under the earth's veins, there is a layer of rock with incredibly hardness, which greatly slows down the miners' excavation progress.

Only a small amount of fire marrow ore was dug out at the edge.

Not long after.

Qin Ming and his companions have arrived at a huge mine located in the Black Sand Mountains, which is more than two or three hundred feet in size.

"You three stay outside. If anything happens, send a message to me."

"Yes! I will follow the orders of the island master!"

Mo Lingwei and the other two followed Qin Ming's instructions and stayed outside the mine.

The miners of the Sha family in the mine were also slaughtered by the demons, and those demon monks seemed to have received news of the great changes and had run away long ago.

According to Sha Kang's memory, Qin Ming quickly arrived deep underground along the mine tunnel.

Then, a thick layer of black basalt rock blocked his way.

"It's your turn."

He immediately ordered the Sky-Devouring Rat to start digging. This guy used his magical powers to cut those black iron rock layers like tofu.

Moreover, it has a talent for treasure hunting and an extremely sensitive nose.

After digging for a short while, the Sky-Eating Rat said excitedly:

"Master, I smell the scent of treasure! Hehehehe!"

"And it must be a big one this time!"

After only digging for half a day, the Sky-Eating Rat dug out a cave passage more than ten miles long.

Qin Ming also showed an expectant look, because the further he went inside, the more Flame Marrow Ore appeared, which meant that he was very close to the top-grade spirit stone.

boom!
As the Sky-Eating Rat dug holes frantically, the rock layer in front collapsed, revealing a piece of space.

Qin Ming followed, but he didn't expect that there was another world under the mine.

After they entered, they discovered that this was actually an extremely secret ancient cave for practicing Buddhism, which was more than two hundred feet in radius.

However, the various furnishings inside have long been decayed, and it seems that they have a very long history.

Even the formations set up on the periphery to protect the cave have become completely ineffective.

Qin Ming used his divine sense to carefully observe the entire cave. According to some text information on the stone wall, he suddenly discovered that this might be a cave left behind by monks in the ancient wilderness period.

At the same time, he also felt an extremely rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

"Master, here we are rich!"

The Sky-Eating Rat had already smelled the scent of the treasure and followed its path to the depths of the cave.

As the sight in front of me suddenly brightened.

A ray of colorful and brilliant light lingered and filled the depths of the cave.

All I saw was three egg-sized spirit stones on a huge rock extending from the earth's spiritual vein.

The amazing spiritual energy contained in it is so rich that it is rarely seen in the world.

Even Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and he said in delight: "It really is a top-grade spirit stone!"

"I'm rich, I'm rich, a top-grade spirit stone!" The Sky-Devouring Rat was also very excited. He dug out the spirit stone in no time, touched it lovingly, and then handed it to Qin Ming.

"Master, here it is."

Qin Ming took the three top-grade spirit stones, feeling the spiritual energy in them that seemed to be materialized, and a smile appeared on his face.

He immediately checked around carefully again, but found only these three.

"What a pity, it seems that the scale of this mine is not very large, or perhaps it is too old, so there are only these three top-grade spirit stones." Qin Ming said with a slight sigh.

at this time.

Upon hearing this, the old demon Qingyang in the Blood Pagoda almost vomited blood and explained to Qin Ming:
"My dear Qin! You should be content with these three large pieces of top-grade spirit stones. Even in ancient times, this stuff was very precious. One as small as a fingernail is considered a top-grade spirit stone."

"And even in the fifth-level spirit veins, there may not be top-grade spirit stones. It requires a certain amount of luck."

"The top-grade spirit stones in the human world are extremely limited. It is a great blessing to be able to obtain one or two."

"These rare items are all in the hands of those old monsters in the late Nascent Soul stage and the Spiritualization stage."

"They are all used when breaking through realms. Of course, they can also be exchanged for top-level spiritual materials."

After listening to the explanation of the old demon Qingyang, Qin Ming suddenly realized.

"It seems that Qin was really lucky and got a bargain."

"Isn't that right? In my opinion, the place where Qin Xiaoyou is now should be the center of some ancient formation." Qingyang Old Demon began to analyze, "The place where the top-grade spirit stone was dug out just now should be the groove for placing the spirit stone. However, for some reason, this formation has not been activated."

Hearing what Qingyang Old Demon said, Qin Ming couldn't help but become curious, "What level is the ancient formation that requires top-grade spirit stones to open?"

Qin Ming immediately took the boulder as the center and began to clear the sand and gravel covering the surrounding area.

After half a cup of tea.

A formation pattern that occupied half of the cave appeared in Qin Ming's sight.

It’s just that the restrictions on the formation patterns in several key places were destroyed, so it’s no wonder that the formation failed to be activated successfully.

In addition, Qin Ming also found the corpse of an ancient monk in the corner of this ancient formation, but it had turned into a fossil.

There were several porcelain bottles placed nearby, but the pills inside had already turned into powder and their medicinal properties had been completely lost.

This ancient monk didn't even have a storage bag on him and was completely alone.

Suddenly.

Qin Ming, who had sharp eyes, found a pale yellow jade slip on the edge of the fossil that was surprisingly well preserved. This was probably the only jade slip left in the entire cave.

Immediately, Qin Ming released his divine sense to browse the information in the jade slip.

After a while.

Qin Ming's expression became extremely strange, because the jade slip recorded some life stories of the people who passed away here.

He learned that this place was originally a secret stronghold belonging to the ancient "Luotian Dao Palace", and this cultivator was responsible for guarding this teleportation formation.

But for some reasons, he had to destroy the formation and was trapped to death here.

You must know that this person was a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage during his lifetime.

The jade slip did not clearly state where the other end of this formation led to.

However, some information about Yuanji Mountain was mentioned.

This immediately aroused Qin Ming's interest!

But the more Qin Ming looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"In ancient times, Yuanji Mountain was actually called the 'Land of Falling Demons'. It was a real invasion by the ancient demon world, and a great war broke out between them and the three major Taoist palaces in the human world at that time."

"Even the spirit world is involved. It is simply not something that a small world like the Blood World can compare to."

“Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivators, even the Divine Transformation masters perished in it.”

"No wonder he has such a heaven-defying opportunity as the all-powerful magical treasure and the divine spiritual object."

"Although the treasure is good, it is also a veritable dangerous place!"

"Alas! It seems that we still need to persuade Brother Su and the others."

Qin Ming finished reading the entire autobiography, but did not see the method to enter Yuanji Mountain that Su Yuqing and the others had been looking for.

It's like a dying will.
But more or less, he also learned some accurate information about Yuanji Mountain.

Qin Ming immediately took out a jade slip and recorded all the formations and patterns of the place in detail.

He got the top-grade spirit stone and felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Then he used his magical powers to seal the entrance of the cave he came from, and used the Jiu Tian Cang Yuan Miao Ying Zhen Fu to leave a void coordinate mark here.

When he cracks the secret of this ancient formation in the future, it may come in handy.

Subsequently.

Qin Ming brought the Sky-Devouring Rat back to the ground.

When Mo Lingwei and the others saw Qin Ming coming out so quickly, they all stepped forward to greet him.

"Master, have we achieved the purpose of this trip?"

"Well, let's go." Qin Ming nodded slightly. He found that many cultivators gathered in Sha Family Castle, probably because they heard the previous movement.

So he released the Lingxiao Treasure Chariot and took the three of them away from the mine quickly.

Not long after, when Tianjizi of the Kuzhu Sect and his disciples arrived at the Black Sand Mountains, they saw the tragic situation in the Sha Family Castle and their faces changed drastically:
"What happened here?"

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Sha Family Castle was massacred by the demon army."

……

Half a month later.

Qin Ming brought Mo Lingwei and the other two back to Wangyue Island.

He took out some elixirs and magic weapons and gave them to the people as rewards, then let them leave.

"Thank you for the reward, Master Island Master!"

Shi Jin took the pill in his hand and was shocked to find that it was a third-grade top-grade elixir, the Shenmu Pill. He looked extremely excited.

With this pill, he would be able to break through to the late Golden Core stage very likely.

Qin Ming returned to the small spiritual realm, took out the storage bag of Thousand Illusions Demon Lord and looked through it.

After killing a Nascent Soul cultivator, this demon likes to refine his human skin to disguise himself.

In this old fellow's storage bag, there were not only his own treasure collection over the years, but also the storage bags of several other Nascent Soul cultivators.

All the background of these old monsters fell into his hands.

In addition to these, Qin Ming also found a dark-colored black wooden token in the storage bag of Thousand Illusions Demon Lord. It was engraved with strange runes that even he couldn't understand.

Qin Ming studied it for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so he had to put it away.

Afterwards, Qin Ming took out the three top-grade spirit stones and observed them. Inside the crystal clear crystals, there was a colorful luster flowing, and the spiritual energy content and purity inside had reached a terrifying level.

He thought about it for a while and decided to use a top-grade spirit stone to try to upgrade the cultivation environment in the small spirit realm to the fifth level.

In this way, the growth needs of fifth-level spiritual plants can be met.

That Seven Wonderful Treasures Tree might be able to reach this level.

Followed by.

Qin Ming came to the depths of the spiritual vein in the small spiritual realm, looked at the spiritual marrow Tai Sui that looked like a mountain of flesh, and took out a top-grade spiritual stone.

Lingsui Tai Sui seemed to have sensed the extremely pure spiritual energy, and rarely revealed an extremely eager emotion.

Qin Ming threw an egg-sized top-grade spirit stone directly over.

Lingsui Tai Sui swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, the aura of Lingsui Tai Sui continued to rise, and the pure spiritual energy in the top-grade spirit stone was continuously absorbed by him.

After half a day, the spiritual energy in Lingsui Tai Sui's body surged, and he began to produce colorful spiritual marrow, which was injected into the spiritual veins.

Qin Ming could feel that the environment of the original fourth-grade top-grade spiritual vein in the small spiritual realm was rising with an extremely terrifying aura.

"It's started, it's started, the spiritual energy has become richer!" The Sky-Eating Rat looked up at the sky and twitched its sensitive nose.

According to the old demon Qingyang, an ordinary top-grade spirit stone is considered to be the size of a thumb. The ones Qin Ming threw in this time were relatively large, at least seven or eight pieces.

When this top-grade spirit stone was consumed, Lingsui Tai Sui stopped excreting spiritual energy.

"It seems to be just a little short." Qin Ming gritted his teeth, took out another top-grade spirit stone and threw it to Tai Sui, continuing to improve the level of his spirit vein.

Rumble!
Suddenly, a strange spiritual energy wave resounded in the small spiritual realm, causing countless spiritual plants to resonate and rejoice.

At this moment, the concentration and purity of the spiritual energy in the small spiritual realm underwent a qualitative change and rose to a whole new level.

It has reached the environment of a fifth-order lower-grade spiritual vein.

Such a rare blessed land is considered top-notch even in the human world, and only a few sects that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years can have it.

"With such a rich spiritual environment, it feels like even a pig thrown in here can be transformed into a great demon." The Sky-Devouring Rat showed an expression of great excitement and was immersed in it.

The little silver fox also had bright eyes. He took a deep breath and felt the changes in the spiritual energy inside. He felt refreshed and relaxed both physically and mentally.

"It's really great here. My daughter is enjoying it too."

The various spiritual plants of all sizes in Xiaoling Territory also absorbed this amazing spiritual energy and began to radiate vitality, growing luxuriant branches and leaves and stretching out.

Even Qin Ming's natal spiritual plant, the Immortal Vine, seemed to have reached certain conditions at this moment. It began to burst out with silver runes, and new buds grew on the black vines between the branches.

As the vines danced, the entire spiritual plant madly absorbed spiritual energy and suddenly grew several feet taller.

In addition, dozens of green-scaled dusk fish swimming in the void seemed to have sensed the sudden change and swam more happily, and suddenly grew a lot fatter.

Qin Ming came outside and looked at the changes with a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and sensed the spiritual energy slightly.

"As expected of a fifth-order spirit vein, my cultivation speed will be accelerated again. I believe that I will be able to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage soon."
