Chapter 169: Miner's Gold-Eating Bug, Top-Grade Spiritual Stone
In the outer sea, outside Silver Shark Island, Ye Changsheng turned into a beam of light and headed north.
At his current speed, it would take several months to reach Biling Island.
A few days later, a huge egret in the sky let out a sharp cry and flew towards Ye Changsheng.
A sword energy flew out, and the fifth-level monster was killed instantly. Ye Changsheng stopped, took away the monster pill, peeled off all the valuable materials from the egret monster, put them into the storage bag, and then continued to move forward.
Along the way, he did this. Whenever he encountered a monster, he would stop and kill it.
With his current strength, he could kill a level five or six monster instantly.
It was a level seven monster, and it would take a little more effort to kill it, but it was not difficult to kill it.
His magic power is four times that of his peers, making him an invincible existence in the Jindan stage.
Even if he encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator, Ye Changsheng was completely confident that he could escape.
This is why he dared to go deep into the alien sea.
According to the memory of the original work, Biling Island is a very large island, but its exact location is unclear.
All we know is that it is in the northern area of Silver Shark Island, but it is really not easy to find an island in such a large area in the north.
Ye Changsheng searched for a whole year before he found an island that might be Biling Island.
During this period, he killed more than a dozen level five, six, and seven monsters, making a small fortune.
"I don't know if this is Biling Island. Let's take a look first!" Ye Changsheng murmured.
His spiritual sense spread out, and soon, he discovered a large number of monsters living on the island, as well as some spiritual stones exposed on the rock walls.
"Looking at the clusters of spirit stones here, even if this place is not Biling Island, there should be spirit stone mines. Let's stop here!"
"However, before that, we must first get rid of these monsters on the island!" A cold light flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes.
Landing on this nameless deserted island, he marked it on the nautical chart, and then sword energy continued to fly out of Ye Changsheng's hands, strangling the monsters occupying the island.
There are many monsters on this island, but fortunately most of them are low-level monsters.
After personally killing more than a dozen monsters above level five, Ye Changsheng simply released all the gold-eating bugs and let them devour the monsters below level five on the island.
He himself was wandering around the island.
"There are really a lot of spirit stones. In cliffs, canyons, and caves, there are many places where you can see piles of spirit stones exposed!"
"We can be sure that this is Biling Island!"
After Ye Changsheng was sure in his mind, he immediately found a high peak on the island and dug out a cave.
In the cave, he casually dealt with the other training rooms.
The insect room was specially renovated and covered with white jade so that the entire insect room was covered with jade.
Then, he used several formations to guard the cave and Ye Changsheng moved in.
After the gold-eating bugs had cleared out the monsters on the island, Ye Changsheng ordered them to go mining!
This time when he came to Biling Island, the miners Ye Changsheng prepared were gold-eating bugs.
It is impossible for him to go mining by himself. How can a Jindan cultivator go mining?
He couldn't just use his right hand to absorb it, because that would easily cause collapse, which would make things even more troublesome.
Moreover, it is possible that the high-level and top-grade spirit stones in the spirit stone veins will be accidentally absorbed.
After all, when the right hand absorbs the spirit stone, it does not identify the grade of the spirit stone.
What if he absorbs the spiritual power of the top-grade spirit stone and converts it into a mid-grade spirit stone? That would be a lot of fun!
So we had to let the gold-eating bugs go mining.
Tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs lay on a cliff, devouring the soil and rocks around the exposed spirit stones.
When the soil and rocks were swallowed, the spirit stones fell down, and then these gold-eating insects sent the spirit stones to Ye Changsheng.
Ye Changsheng himself sat in the cave, took out pills and continued to practice.
After the first day, the gold-eating bugs mined 20,000 spirit stones and sent them to Ye Changsheng's cave.
He took out 10,000 of them and copied them into 20 thousand-year-old neon grasses, and threw them to the insects to be devoured. Ye Changsheng kept the remaining 10,000 pieces for himself.
The next day, the gold-eating bugs mined 18,000 spirit stones, and Ye Changsheng divided them in half as usual.
Day 3…
…
Ten days later, the number of spirit stones opened from the cliff dropped to 10,000. Ye Changsheng decisively asked the gold-eating insects to change the place to mine.
It’s not that the spirit stone mine has been exhausted, but the deeper you dig, the more difficult it becomes to mine, and the more stones these gold-eating insects need to devour.
But even so, these gold-eating bugs mined 160,000 spirit stones in ten days. After feeding them half of the spirit stones, Ye Changsheng obtained 80,000 spirit stones.
A month later, he had 250,000 spirit stones in his hands.
Among them, there are several high-level spirit stones.
Four months later, Ye Changsheng had one million spirit stones in his hands!
With the hard work of the gold-eating beetle day and night , his wealth grew day by day and became huge like a snowball.
In the fifth month, when the group of gold-eating insects brought the spirit stones, Ye Changsheng saw at a glance that one of the spirit stones had an extremely peculiar shape.
This is a thumb-sized spiritual stone, lush and green all over, as if it were the most precious gem in the world.
A look of joy appeared in Ye Changsheng's eyes, and he immediately stretched out his hand to the gold-eating worm.
A gold-eating insect brought the spirit stone to his hand.
Holding the spirit stone in his palm, Ye Changsheng observed it carefully.
The spiritual light on the surface of the spirit stone was flowing unsteadily, and the green light was flickering, and it looked like a living thing.
And on the surface of the spirit stone, there seemed to be tiny white things constantly pouring out.
Looking closely, the tiny white dots of light actually looked like snowflake-like runes.
These spots of light continuously poured out from the emerald green spirit stone, and then exploded on their own, transforming into bits of pure wood spiritual energy.
This spirit stone actually had to forcibly overflow into the outside world because it contained too much spiritual energy.
Without a doubt, this is a top-grade spiritual stone.
"Finally found it, a top-grade spirit stone, its value is inestimable!" Ye Changsheng's eyes showed emotion.
After playing with it for a while, he treasured this top-grade spiritual stone and kept it away.
Then, he copied a bunch of neon grass and threw it to the group of gold-eating bugs.
The gold-eating bugs immediately pounced on it with red eyes and swallowed it up completely.
After obtaining the top-grade spirit stones, three months later, thanks to the continuous efforts of the gold-eating bugs, Ye Changsheng had an additional two million spirit stones in his hands.
Of course, if you count the top-grade spirit stone, it is actually three million spirit stones.
And on this day, after devouring a large amount of neon grass , these gold-eating bugs finally began to devour each other again.
In the insect room, tens of thousands of gold-eating insects with red eyes were biting each other.
Those who were defeated by their opponents fell down, and their bodies were quickly devoured by their own kind. As they fought each other, their numbers became fewer and fewer.
Finally, after ten days and ten nights of fighting, only a thousand gold-eating bugs were left.
After each of the thousand gold-eating beetles laid a hundred white eggs, they all died.
Miners are beginning to evolve!
Seeing this, Ye Changsheng immediately put all the gold-eating insect eggs and the bodies of the dead insects into the spirit beast bag.
Next time, when they hatch, their number will be one hundred thousand!
"Based on past experience, it will take about three years for these gold-eating bugs to complete their evolution and hatch!"
"It has been almost two years since I came out. Senior Sister Chen should be able to form a pill. I should go back and protect her!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
Then, he packed up everything in the cave, put away the formation, shattered the rocks, buried the cave, and then quickly turned into a stream of light and flew to the south of Biling Island.
Two months later, about three hundred miles north of Silver Shark Island, Ye Changsheng's escape light appeared here.
"That one in front is... a thousand-eyed monster!"
His vast spiritual sense spotted from afar a monster emerging from the distant sea.
The Thousand-Eyed Monster is a common fifth-level monster, about two or three feet long, round in shape and covered with fiery red thorns.
At first glance, it looks like a giant sea urchin, but its round body is covered with dozens of emerald green eyes of the same size.
It is said that when this monster evolves to its extreme, it will have a thousand eyes, so it is called the Thousand-Eyed Monster.
When he saw this level five monster, Ye Changsheng immediately flew forward.
Along the way, whenever he saw a monster of level five or above, he would kill it.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still a piece of meat!
However, when he had just flown more than a mile, he suddenly saw a white light whistling in the distance, flying towards the Thousand-Eyed Monster at a very fast speed.
The speed is much faster than Ye Changsheng.
Seeing this scene, Ye Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and quickened his pace again.
The white light stopped above the Thousand-Eyed Demon.
It was a flying boat, as white as jade, and looked to be only four meters long and one meter wide.
There were five people standing on it, the leader was a white-haired old man with a ruddy complexion and a look of surprise on his face.
This is a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.
The four people behind him were all foundation-building cultivators. When they saw the thousand-eyed monster under their feet, they showed expressions of surprise and joy in their eyes.
"Quick, use that combined attack method to trap the Thousand-Eyed Monster, and I will use the magic weapon to kill this beast!" The white-haired old man immediately ordered the four people behind him.
"yes!"
The four foundation-building monks immediately scattered upon hearing this, and a ray of light appeared in their hands, which were yellow, green, blue and red respectively.
The four colors of light twisted together and turned into a huge light shield, trapping the Thousand-Eyed Monster inside.
At the same time, the white-haired old man opened his mouth and spit out a small knife. The knife was emerald green in color and the blade was sharp. It turned into a green light more than ten feet long and slashed towards the Thousand-Eyed Demon in the light shield.
Although the Thousand-Eyed Demon is a level five demon beast, it is naturally no match for the joint siege of several human cultivators.
He was soon killed by the old man's emerald green flying knife.
"Elder Lin's 'Cang Cui Knife' has become even sharper!" A foundation-building cultivator praised after seeing this scene.
There was a look of flattery in his eyes.
"That's right. Ever since the death of Elders Miao and Gu, Elder Lin has been the mainstay of our Liulian Hall and the person the hall master relies on the most!" Another foundation-building cultivator also immediately flattered.
For a moment, above the Thousand-Eyed Monster, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators kept flattering the old man, and all kinds of compliments poured out to the Core Forming Old Man as if they were free.
The old man laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "When you can become a Jindan one day in the future, you will naturally have magical powers like me!"
"Okay, enough nonsense, hurry up and deal with that Thousand-Eyed Monster, and let's go back to Silver Shark Island!"
Upon hearing this, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately took action, took out the demon core of the Thousand-Eyed Monster, and cut off the precious materials on its body.
After everything was packed up, the old man who had reached the Jindan stage flicked his sleeves, a white light appeared, and the white jade flying boat stopped steadily in the air.
Just as they were about to board the flying boat, they saw a beam of light flying towards them quickly from a distance.
"Hey, it's a fellow in the Jindan stage!" The old man stroked his beard and muttered as he looked at the escaping light in the distance.
In just a few breaths, the escaping light immediately arrived in front of them. When the light dissipated, a handsome man in white appeared in front of them.
"Good young Taoist friend, wait... middle stage of Jindan?!" The old man's smiling face froze immediately, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
A fellow practitioner in the middle stage of Jindan appeared, looking young, in his twenties. This made him alert.
"Why does this fellow Taoist look a little familiar?" he thought to himself.
He bowed, laughed, and said, "May I ask your name, fellow Taoist, and which island are you practicing on?"
"Wait? This isn't..." Behind the old man, a foundation-building cultivator's face changed drastically after seeing Ye Changsheng's face, full of shock and fear.
He immediately moved his lips slightly and sent a message to the old man: "Elder Lin, this person seems to be the one that our Liulian Palace and Jiyin Island are jointly wanted for!"
"What? You mean he is the one who killed Brother Miao and Brother Gu?" The old man's face suddenly changed and he immediately transmitted the message.
"That's right, I have seen his portrait many times!" The foundation-building disciple immediately transmitted the message.
Hearing this, the old man's face turned ugly. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the person in front of him just now.
It turned out to be the Jindan cultivator who killed Elder Miao and Elder Gu.
But didn’t that person just form his Dan more than 20 years ago?
How come I’m already in the middle stage of Jindan?
Thinking of this, the old man's expression changed again, and he forced a smile and said, "My fellow Taoist, we have urgent matters to attend to, so we will leave first!"
Having said that, he didn't even intend to care about those foundation-building monks. He stepped onto the white jade flying boat and wanted to fly away immediately.
Ye Changsheng showed a half-smile on his face, and a light flashed in his eyes. The old man on the flying boat immediately screamed, bled from all his seven orifices, and fell down.
“Elder Lin?!”
The four Foundation Establishment monks were so horrified when they saw this scene that they shouted loudly and then immediately scattered in all directions, trying to escape.
He stretched out his fingers and shot out several sword energies, and screams were heard. Ye Changsheng dealt with these foundation-building cultivators.
After snatching away their storage bags and burning their bodies, Ye Changsheng looked towards the white jade flying boat.
