After hesitating for a long time, reason finally defeated impulse, and Lin Qing decided to give up. He didn't know how quickly the True Spirit Sect would react after forcibly breaking the barrier. If he rushed in with only a few boxes of middle-grade spirit stones, it would be really difficult for him to do so.
If someone from the Ling Sect arrives, it would be safer for him to go find the Ling Stone mine.
From the fact that we met two golden elixir stage monks on the way in, we can tell that there must be more golden elixir stage monks stationed in this spirit stone vein.
Once the ban sends an alarm, the first person to arrive will most likely be the Golden Core Stage monks. Lin Qing, who currently does not have the strength to compete with the Golden Core Stage monks, really should not take such a risk.
Lin Qing almost turned around and left here step by step. He couldn't eat the meat in his mouth. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. As he walked, he muttered:
"These spiritual stones were all kept here by me. I will move them all away when I have time. Huh, move them all away. Not a single piece will be left!"
After returning to the main tunnel with busy traffic, Lin Qing speeded up and continued sneaking, and soon came to an area that was obviously a residence for mining slaves.
The environment here is extremely bad, with an unpleasant stench everywhere. Most of the mining slaves have been driven to work underground, and the rest are some skilled mining slaves doing chores such as repairing equipment and preparing equipment.
The next meal.
Lin Qing didn't stop and rushed forward along the main tunnel at high speed. Normally, the living area of the mine slaves was not too far away from the working surface of the mine. Those bright raw spiritual stones were already in front of him!
At the end of the main tunnel, there are a total of five forked roads, leading to five working surfaces respectively. Because most of this Lingshi vein has been mined, Zhenlingmen intends to control the output, so there are only three working surfaces with mine slaves.
Work.
Different from super sects like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, all the people who work in the mines of Zhenling Sect are miners, and there are no disciples to cast spells, so the mining efficiency is extremely low.
The entire mine was filled with the sound of hammers and drills, the sound of mine guards' whips, and the screams of mine slaves, making it feel like purgatory.
Lin Qing chose a sub-lane that was under construction and sneaked along it. Although this lane was not under construction, there were still mine guards patrolling around with canine monsters from time to time to prevent anyone from secretly digging for raw spiritual stones.
This tunnel was not long and had no other branches. Lin Qing quickly dived to the end and then plunged into the mineral vein.
After entering, Lin Qing felt a little disappointed when he inspected it with his spiritual consciousness. Most of the raw spiritual stones here were gray-white low-grade spiritual stones, and even medium-grade spiritual stones were extremely rare. He did not rush to mine, but went straight to the veins.
Dive everywhere.
Lin Qing, who has learned the art of public logic, can already judge where higher-quality raw spiritual stones are likely to be generated based on the surrounding landforms. Now that he is in the spiritual stone veins, he no longer has to worry about being discovered, let alone the use of mana.
He walked through the underground at full speed.
Soon, Lin Qing merged into a dark gray silence. There was no noise of humans, no play of animals, and even the ubiquitous sound of insects disappeared.
This kind of complete silence cannot be felt on the ground. After all, in such deep underground veins, there are basically no signs of life.
As Lin Qing continued to adjust his direction according to the surrounding rock formations and landforms, the surrounding gray-white raw Lingshi ore gradually became sparse, and large, transparent ores began to appear. These were all medium-grade Lingshi raw ore, and the color was quite good.
With a thought, the "Slaying Blade" and "Batian Ax" appeared in Lin Qing's hands. He brandished the sharp knives and used the ax as a mining pick and began to dig while walking.
When he came out this time, Lin Qing brought more than a hundred storage bags, enough for him to make a fortune in the Zhenling Sect's spirit stone veins.
Even if other people have so many storage bags, they can't use them at the same time, because the storage bags are space magic weapons. After loading things, they can't be put into other storage bags at all, and it's impossible for anyone to carry them on their waist.
Hanging more than a hundred storage bags?
However, Lin Qing's spirit breath ring is an exception. For some unknown reason, it can store storage bags containing items, making Lin Qing's journey of stealing spirit stones much easier.
At this time, Lin Qing had found the place where the raw spirit stone ores were concentrated. He felt as if he was in the bright starry sky, with dots of crystal flashes all around him. From time to time, he could see brighter light blue spots flashing by.
, which gives this deep underground place a somewhat psychedelic color.
Lin Qing was drifting rapidly like a legendary star-catcher. As he swung his jade ax and scimitar, the stars disappeared, leaving a dark trail behind him.
The light blue light spot was the light emitted by the high-grade spiritual stones. Lin Qing hung the two storage bags on his waist, and simply targeted these scattered high-grade spiritual stones, collecting them one by one.
Just collect some mid-grade spiritual stones on the way.
In this case, where Lin Qing passes by, the spirit stones in the veins will only become sparse, and will not disappear in large pieces. Even if people from the Zhenling Sect dig here in the future, they will only think that this is a natural place.
The mine is poor and there will be no suspicion of someone sneaking in and stealing.
After mining for a while, the storage bag containing the middle-grade Lingshi raw ore was already full, while the storage bag containing the high-grade Lingshi was only less than one-tenth full. After Lin Qing changed the storage bag,
He felt that it was too boring to continue collecting like this. I was afraid that before he could fill more than a hundred storage bags, he would get bored and nervous.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Qing grinned and had a new idea in mind.
I saw him summoning the "Star and Moon Wolf Tooth Saw", stepping on it and rushing towards a light blue light spot in the distance. As his hands kept dancing, the surrounding middle-grade spiritual stones disappeared one after another as if they were passing through ice crystals.
Unexpectedly, looking at his dancing posture, it turned out to be a move from the "Nine Sky-Splitting Strikes"!
It turned out that Lin Qing simply regarded the process of collecting raw spirit stones as a means of practicing martial arts. He imagined himself as being among thousands of armies, and the dots of middle-grade raw ores of spirit stones around him were the swords, guns, swords and halberds that were stabbing him.
And that light blue high-grade spiritual stone ore is the enemy general’s head!
In this way, the process of collecting the raw spirit stone ore became a practical drill of the ax technique, and he practiced attacking by stepping on the "Star and Moon Wolf Tooth Saw". How to complete these complex actions at such a high speed and successfully collect it?
Lingshi raw ore has become a very difficult task.
What's more, it is not easy to use the "Sky-Splitting Nine Strikes" ax technique with wide opening and closing in rapid succession while moving at high speed. In addition, it is performed in underground spirit stone veins, which is far more powerful than in the air.
Resistance is also the reason for the increase in difficulty.
At the beginning, Lin Qing's originally pure moves turned out to be crooked and out of shape. However, this guy's strength was due to his super perseverance. On the contrary, he practiced with gusto and no longer felt boring and depressed.
After the spiritual power all over his body was exhausted, he meditated on the spot and started practicing the "Thick Earth Technique". He had tried it before. This method of cultivation was very beneficial to his progress in cultivation and improvement of his physical fitness. Since Qian Qian
After working so hard to get here, there is no need to rush out.
Unknowingly, Lin Qing had been practicing in the Zhenling Sect spirit stone veins for more than a month. His more than one hundred storage bags and spirit breath rings had long been filled, and he had also practiced the "Nine Sky-Splitting Strikes"
He is more proficient, and can easily perform it at will even when he is driving the "Sky Star Accompanying Moon Wolf Saw" at high altitudes.
The only strange thing is that Lin Qing's cultivation is still stuck in the middle stage of foundation building. Although he feels that he has improved compared to before, he still cannot advance to the late stage of foundation building. He knows that this is a bottleneck in his cultivation.
Bottlenecks are something we often encounter in practice, and they have nothing to do with the monk's talent.
Some people are dull in talent, and although their cultivation progress is slow, they never encounter any bottlenecks that they can't overcome; while some people are excellent in talent, and their cultivation in the early stage is rapid, but they will be stuck at a certain small stage, and they will not be able to make progress throughout their lives.
After discovering that he had encountered a bottleneck, Lin Qing became a little anxious. After reading the cultivation experience of the seniors of the Earth Spirit Sect from the Jade Slip of Spiritual Breath Ring's Divine Consciousness, he slowly calmed down.
According to the experience of the predecessors of the Diling Sect, this kind of bottleneck cannot be solved by blind cultivation. Instead, you have to go out and experience life. Often, the bottleneck will be broken inadvertently.
After finding a solution, Lin Qing decided to return to Xinyi Prefecture. After handing over all the raw spirit stones to Mo Sanniang, he continued to investigate the identity of Liang Guozhu, hoping to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation naturally.
Lin Qing did not go back the way he came. He found a place where the raw spiritual stone ore was relatively concentrated and dived straight upward. After surfacing, he only needed to remember the location here so that he could dive vertically from above next time.
Go here to bypass the tight defense of Zhenlingmen.
During the process of surfacing, Lin Qing did not encounter any accidents, but the depth here far exceeded his expectations. He had to use the spirit breath ring several times to replenish the excessive loss of spiritual power. If he only relied on the spiritual power in his own body,
It will definitely not be able to float to the ground smoothly.
When he was still about ten feet away from the ground, Lin Qing used his consciousness to look around vigilantly. He did not want to make such a low-level mistake, suddenly emerging from the True Spirit Sect's meeting hall in full view of the public.
Fortunately, there were just ordinary hills outside, and there was no danger. Lin Qing then emerged from the ground.
This place is not near the True Spirit Valley, and you can't even see the shadows of the mountains around the True Spirit Valley. After glancing around, Lin Qing suddenly complained in her heart.
There are actually barren mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles around. Although they are also rolling, the mountains are not high and the slope is not large, and the mountain shapes are almost the same.
For a place like this where no landmarks can be found, Lin Qing is not confident that he can find this mountain top next time. The underground situation here is complicated. If the distance is slightly wrong, he may not be able to find the spirit stone vein after diving further.
