Chapter 228: Ascension and Cultivation
At the end of the "10th" mining channel, there was a "kneading" sound of digging gravel. Two strong men were squeezing downwards in the deep pit. Lou Guanxian sat next to the entrance of the deep pit and looked at the bottom of the pit from time to time.
Lao Shen and Lao Jiang led two other teams of personnel to open two forked channels along the horizontal direction of the passage, one left and one right. Because the excavation of the deep pit did not require too many personnel, they led other brothers to excavate separately, so that more ores could be harvested.
This has been a month since I participated in Yishi. Lu Chong and Lou Guan obtained another stamina stone under the guidance of the Stone Dragon. However, the next ore location is more than fifty feet below the passage, and the difficulty and time of excavation will be very expensive.
So Lu Chong, Lou Guan and others discussed and decided to take out a piece of the spirit stone to offset the half-year mission. Lao Jiang took half of the personnel out to prepare for the remaining brothers to dig out the required items, and at the same time, he could also rotate martial arts practice.
When another deep pit was nearly twenty feet tall, a team of personnel were replaced to dig. Lu Chong jumped into the pit while everyone was resting. He wanted to try the effect of the excavation pan obtained during advanced transactions in Yishi.
At about ten feet below the deep pit, Lu Chong leaned against the stone wall of the tunnel, took out the flower disk maker used for excavation, and used the true energy to control the flower disk to fly. When the flower disk touched the rock, five bright rays of air penetrated into the rock, making a dull and dull sound, just like pulling on the hardwood with serrated teeth, and gravel flew. The flower disk maker slowly merged into the rock, forming a round hole.
Lu Chong controlled the true energy to move slowly around, and the flower plate gradually expanded the hole. After an hour, a channel about one zhang deep and five feet wide appeared in front of Lu Chong in the horizontal direction.
Lu Chong estimated the progress of this flower disk machine. Miners usually dig passages in a horizontal direction, about three meters a day, and dig deep pits vertically downward, with an average depth of less than one meters a day. Now, the flower disk machine can dig nearly one meters a horizontal direction every hour, which is obviously much faster than ordinary excavation items.
It seems that I have changed to the same treasure again, but what makes Lu Chong feels regretful is that this excavated flower disc machine cuts all the stones very small, and all the energy stones are also divided into pieces, and a complete energy stone cannot be obtained at all. It seems that in order to obtain various energy stones, you must switch to ordinary excavation items near the ore to excavate.
After opening a horizontal channel horizontally, Lu Chong sat cross-legged seven or eight feet into the entrance of the cave. After pondering for a while, he took out more than ten black spirit mysterious stones. After careful deduction, he threw the black spirit mysterious stones everywhere and quickly arranged a closed magic array around him.
Because the power of the cultivator will be suppressed in the ore veins, Lu Chong envisions using a closed formation to block the impact of the ore veins on the true qi. When Lu Chong tries to activate the true qi in the formation, it is indeed much easier. Although there is still some suppression power, he can also practice and refine some items normally.
Lu Chong asked Lou Guan and Lao Shen not to disturb him, so he took out a food-avoiding pill from the formation and swallowed it, opened a elixir furnace, and began to refine various elixirs. First, it was the spiritual beast pill, which was an exchange with the stone dragon. Secondly, it was the food-avoiding pill, which was able to ensure that you were not affected by your diet, and there were also a large amount of elixirs that you needed.
Every ten days, Lu Chong would come out of the formation, observe the excavation situation of the deep pit, and point out the distance and direction of the excavators, and then enter the formation and be busy with his own affairs.
Lou Guan and others didn't know what Lu Chong was doing, but everyone trusted him very much, and did not ask or disturb him. They just used yellow liquid to temporarily maintain the contraction of the rocks. When inspectors came, they asked people to withdraw from the deep pit and create some illusion of filling the deep pit to confuse them, so that the hidden excavation of the deep pit could continue.
After Lu Chong collected all the pills, he took out the two water talismans and Fengxing talismans to study. Since Lu Chong broke through to the realm of the great master of the True Qi Realm, he could make three kinds of talismans according to the explanation of the talisman diagram. Now the realm has been stabilized. Lu Chong hopes that this research can make a breakthrough.
After looking at the two talismans, Lu Chong put away the Fengxing Talisman. After all, what he saw more was the waterxing Talisman. He poured his mind into the rune of the waterxing Talisman, and the entire talisman emitted a sparkling brilliance along the rune.
Lu Chong followed the brilliance of the runes, and at the same time, he thought of the line about the water-lined talisman in the talisman diagram, Lu Chong gradually entered a trajectory of line flow.
With the increase of the power of the mind and the complex movement of the lines, Lu Chong seemed to begin to grasp something with a water-like characteristic. At this time, the water-line talisman suddenly changed tremendously. After being stimulated by the power of the mind, the entire formation space began to expand, with countless water ripples interlaced and impacted, and the space of the closed formation was constantly distorted and transformed.
Lu Chong quickly discovered the abnormal situation in the formation. At this time, he could no longer control the surging power of the water talisman. He immediately used the double layer of protective true qi armor on his body, and his mind adjusted the qi-shaped sphere under his heart veins to condense the air ball to resist. The three forces were stirred together and violently hit the surrounding rocks. After a staggering shaking like a mountain, the rocks burst layer by layer, and the rocks shot and flew in the passage.
The water splashes and stone chips made Lu Chong messy and dirty, but his body did not suffer much damage. Although he lost a high-level water talisman and a high-level magic circle, Lu Chong had a little understanding of the production of the water talisman.
Only then did Lu Chong realize that the situation became strange. It turned out that the power of the water talisman and magic circle burst did not disappear, but was fused by the ore vein energy and returned backwards. Lu Chong quickly moved the true qi qi group to block it, and the qi-shaped sphere under the heart vein also swung rapidly.
While the two forces were resisting each other, Lu Chong's various complexions were running from slow to fast. Even the dark gray complexion that was originally stuck in the core was swirling and slowly impacting and penetrated outward. What was not good is that the power of the mineral veins outside actually extracted more ore energy, suppressing the condensed and fissioned air mass of Lu Chong back to the body, causing Lu Chong's body to be attacked from both inside and outside.
A stream of energy penetrated into the balloon under the heart vein, causing the various complexions of the entire qi-shaped balloon to become chaotic. Lu Chong watched nervously as the solid green balloon was pierced, but the red complexion merged into the energy airflow, as if it was about to stir up the entire balloon.
Lu Chong took out the Tianxuan wood helplessly and absorbed it, hoping to suppress all the complexion with the strongest green balloon. The blue balloon frantically absorbed the essence of Tianxuan wood, saved the entire balloon again, gradually sealed and blocked the energy entry. In addition to the surface of the blue color, the excess blue color poured into the red color, and finally all turned into red color. The red balloon gradually condensed, and the gray color was suppressed in the core.
After a few hours passed quickly, the passage slowly became calmer. Lu Chong, who was exhausted, found that two layers of blue and red balloons had been enriched under his heart veins, and the control power of his mind was increased. The range of visits in the ore veins increased by about doubled. He extended towards the passage above, but heard a burst of rapid footsteps and noisy anger.
