Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Having confirmed Qin Man's death, Zhang Feng took the storage bag and casually summoned a flame to incinerate his body.

Qin Man never unleashed the famous spell of Jiyin Island, "Demon Body," until his death.

This surprised Zhang Feng. It seems that a strong attack without giving the opponent any breathing room is the best way to deal with the members of the Extreme Yin Island.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng's body and soul refining skills, as well as the Thousand Waves Technique, can greatly enhance his offensive capabilities.

Zhang Feng briefly summarized his combat experience, then scanned Qin Man's storage bag with his divine sense.

The supplies weren't exactly rare, but the large quantity of high-level spirit stones still gave Zhang Feng a bit of a shock.

There were over a hundred mid-grade spirit stones and dozens of high-grade spirit stones.

Qin Man doesn't know how many spirit stone mines he had to mine to obtain these spirit stones.

Zhang Feng pondered to himself, but now it all belonged to him.

And there's this unmined high-grade spirit stone mine in front of us.

Looking at the crystal-clear, well-shaped, and warm-toned high-grade spirit stone mine in front of me.

Zhang Feng couldn't help but reach out and rub the vein, using his divine sense and soul power to perceive its size and quantity.

For cultivators in the Core Formation stage, high-grade spirit stones are the best cultivation resource.

Using high-grade spirit stones for cultivation can greatly accelerate the progress of cultivation.

However, high-grade spirit stones are too precious and are only used by Nascent Soul cultivators. Ordinary Core Formation cultivators find them difficult to obtain, let alone use them for cultivation.

A moment later, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Feng's eyes.

This high-grade spirit stone mine can yield at least several hundred high-grade spirit stones, and countless mid-grade spirit stones.

At the edge of his perception, piercing through layers of mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones, lay a spirit stone brimming with abundant and extremely pure spiritual energy.

Top-grade spirit stones!

Zhang Feng's ultimate goal for this trip!

Without further hesitation, Zhang Feng summoned his Langshui Xuanyu Sword.

cut!

Zhang Feng also summoned two star frogs, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, who ate the spirit stone fragments produced by Zhang Feng's excavation.

They also helped collect the spirit stones that Zhang Feng had mined.

For several days in a row, Zhang Feng carved out a passage leading directly to the top-grade spirit stone.

A flawless spirit stone, the size of a pigeon egg, with its own aura of spiritual energy that even flowed slightly, appeared before Zhang Feng.

Is this a top-grade spirit stone?

Zhang Feng held the top-grade spirit stone in his hand and slightly absorbed a trace of the leaking spiritual power. A massive amount of violent spiritual power instantly filled his dantian.

Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile with delight. As a beginner in the Core Formation stage, he had almost filled his entire dantian by absorbing just this wisp of spiritual energy.

If it were a Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining disciple, they would probably have exploded and died from consuming too much spiritual energy.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade spirit stone!

Unfortunately, this top-grade spirit stone is a wood-attribute spirit stone.

If the spirit stone is of the water attribute that matches Zhang Feng's main spiritual root, the effect will definitely be doubled.

Suppressing the urge to continue extracting, Zhang Feng stuffed the top-grade spirit stones into his storage bag and then began mining the remaining spirit stone veins.

Three months later, by using high-grade spirit stones at any cost to replenish his spiritual power, Zhang Feng finally finished collecting all the spirit stones in the area.

This harvest yielded over ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones, nearly a thousand high-grade spirit stones, and one top-grade spirit stone.

Although they are all wood-attribute spirit stones, they are sufficient for cultivation.

Zhang Feng smiled with satisfaction as he checked the full amount of spirit stones in his storage bag with his divine sense.

This trip can be considered a success. Afterwards, I can return to Tianxing City and cultivate in seclusion using high-grade spirit stones.

I need to raise my cultivation to the late stage of Core Formation as soon as possible before the Void Heaven Palace opens.

Standing at the end of the mine, Zhang Feng focused all his senses on the surrounding stone walls.

Biling Island is a large, high-grade spirit stone mine. Zhang Feng deduced that the place he was in was probably a branch near the central mine.

Within Zhang Feng's perception range, there were still several dense spiritual energy auras from spirit stones not far from him.

Zhang Feng couldn't help but wonder whether to continue digging, but after careful consideration, he decided to give up.

We have already acquired enough spirit stones on this trip and have been staying here for several months. If we continue to stay, something unforeseen may happen.

It's best to leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, with Qin Man dead, it's unknown whether the people of Jiyin Island sensed anything. If they followed the trail to Biling Island, it would expose the spiritual veins here.

It's a case of losing more than you gain.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Feng marked the location of the spirit stone vein, eliminated his aura, destroyed the mine tunnel, and left two concealment formations at the exit.

Only after confirming that there was no leakage of spirit stone vein energy did Zhang Feng feel relieved.

Zhang Feng first erased all the information he had left behind.

He then plunged into the sea, using his Water Escape Technique in conjunction with the Thousand Waves Technique, Zhang Feng's speed underwater was comparable to that of a level seven sea monster.

The pale blue spiritual energy almost blended into the seawater, making it impossible for ordinary Core Formation cultivators to detect Zhang Feng's rapid underwater movement without careful observation.

The Chaotic Star Sea is perfect for cultivators like Zhang Feng who specialize in water-attribute techniques.

boom!

Several days after Zhang Feng fled, two figures appeared above Biling Island.

"Qin Man's aura finally disappeared here."

"Yes, that's right. Although some of his aura was deliberately erased, the essence blood left by Qin Man is still present underground."

"It's a pity that the Demon Core clone that our ancestor prepared for us is gone just like that!"

"It's all that old bastard Feng Qing's fault. It's just a little bit of cargo, yet he insisted on holding out for so long before escaping, wasting both of our time."

"Otherwise, if we had arrived here earlier, we might have been able to reap the benefits and acquire another clone."

"Alright, that's alright. Let's find out why Qin Man came here first!"

"The resources that would make him disobey our orders to come here to search for must be extremely valuable."

The Wu twins fled together to Biling Island, carefully searching for any traces left by Qin Man.

Several days later, a sudden burst of spiritual light appeared above Biling Island, and the aura of a high-grade spirit stone vein soared into the sky.

A celestial phenomenon of emerald green spiritual energy, hundreds of feet long, appeared above the island.

Within a radius of several hundred nautical miles, several demonic beasts with auras at the sixth or seventh level instantly witnessed this celestial phenomenon.

As if by prior arrangement, they rushed towards Biling Island at breakneck speed.

Even silver-backed demonic beasts, hundreds of feet long, sensed the soaring spiritual energy within and led a large number of demonic beasts to Biling Island.

"Hahaha, bro, we've struck it rich! There's actually a high-level spiritual vein here."

"Brother, if we collect all these high-grade spirit stones, it will be enough for both of us to advance to the Nascent Soul stage!"

The Wu brothers laughed excitedly.

Outside the range of its divine sense, a large number of unfathomable demonic beasts were rapidly approaching!

"No, a large number of demonic beasts are approaching!"

"Run!"

Upon sensing the presence of a large number of level six and seven demonic beasts within the range of their divine sense, the Wu family twins paled instantly.

"Bold humans, how dare you steal spirit stone veins from my demon race's territory in the outer sea!"

A broad-shouldered middle-aged cultivator blocked their path and shouted sternly.

"A level nine transformed demon beast?"

The Wu twins sensed its unfathomable aura, and their faces turned pale, their bodies trembling like leaves.

"Die!"

A golden spiritual palm shot into the sky, grabbing the two of them and applying slight pressure with its five fingers.

puff!

As if crushing an ant, the two bodies instantly shattered, and the two pale blue inner cores were slowly sucked into the mouth of the middle-aged cultivator.

"Pah! Damn demonic cultivators, they taste awful."

The middle-aged cultivator sneezed slightly, spitting out a few fragments of pills.

The fragments fell into the sea and were devoured by several monsters.

"Hahaha, what a stroke of luck! There's a high-grade spirit stone vein here!"

"It's time for our Silverback Shark Clan to rise!"

The middle-aged cultivator sensed the spirit stone veins hidden within Biling Island and burst into laughter.

Suddenly!

Two white image-recording beads shot out from the blood mist surrounding the Wu brothers' corpses!

"Oh no! The human race's image retention bead!"

The middle-aged cultivator was immediately shocked, and his face suddenly darkened.

Those who possess the Image Retention Pearl are either descendants of Nascent Soul cultivators or elders of powerful forces!

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Shark, if the Image-Recording Pearl escapes, the human race will surely find out. Trying to keep it all to yourself won't work!"

A bald male cultivator with an extremely round figure stepped into Biling Island.

"What are we afraid of! This island is bound to cause conflict between transvestites and ladyboys in the future. We might as well gather some now!"

Several more figures appeared, all of them level eight or nine transformed demons!
