Chapter 1099: Mid-grade Spirit Veins
"More surging?" Xiao Yi exclaimed lightly.
Qing Lin instantly reacted, "No wonder you said it's unusual, these are Mid-grade Spirit Stones."
"Mid-grade Spirit Stones?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled, a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a spirit stone.
Xiao Yi sensed it for a moment.
Indeed, the spirit stone in his hand was far inferior to those on the ground.
Qing Lin glanced at the spirit stone in Xiao Yi's hand, saying, "What you have is a Low Grade Spirit Stone."
"Are there different grades of Spirit Stones?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
"Of course." Qing Lin answered, "Spirit Stones are graded based on the purity and amount of Spiritual Energy they contain."
"The most common are Low Grade Spirit Stones."
"As everyone knows, a Low Grade Spirit Stone is enough for a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Artist to use for a month."
"And Mid-grade Spirit Stones are much rarer and much more potent."
"As for why you didn't know, it's simple, your level hasn't reached it yet."
Qing Lin laughed, "Mid-grade Spirit Stones are something that only those above the Saint King Realm are qualified to use."
"A single Mid-grade Spirit Stone can provide for a Saint King Realm expert for a month."
"What?" Xiao Yi's face turned to surprise.
The level of the Saint King Realm is two Great Realms above the Heavenly Extreme Realm, the gap is exceedingly large.
That a single Mid-grade Spirit Stone could sustain a Saint King Realm expert for a month?
"Yes." Qing Lin answered, "If we're really talking about value, a Mid-grade Spirit Stone could be traded for ten Low Grade Spirit Stones, or even more."
"Of course, only a fool would make such a trade."
"Mid-grade Spirit Stone." Xiao Yi muttered to himself, picking up a piece from the ground, "Indeed, the power contained within is much more surging."
"Its quality far exceeds that of Low Grade Spirit Stones, no wonder it can develop spiritual intelligence."
"We've struck it rich, really struck it rich." Qing Lin laughed, "This entire vein must have tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones."
"So many Mid-grade Spirit Stones, enough to buy Heavenly King Mountain."
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled.
"Huh, no, that's not right." Qing Lin suddenly remembered something and exclaimed.
"Xiao Yi, you just said those Cloud Dragons were the Spiritual Sense produced by this Spirit Vein."
"I remember last night there were at least a dozen Cloud Dragons, isn't that..."
"Correct." Xiao Yi nodded, his expression also filled with delight.
"Open for me." Qing Lin shouted, unleashing a punch.
This spirit vein lay beneath the ground.
On both sides, there were still mountain walls and earth.
Under Qing Lin's punch, the mountain walls on both sides shattered.
Whoosh... A large amount of sand and stone scattered.
"Not enough, I'll do it." Xiao Yi smiled, swinging out a sword strike.
The fierce Sword Qi pierced through several miles in an instant.
After the people's series of attacks, within a hundred miles, sand, stone, and earth were all wiped out.
A hundred miles in radius suddenly emptied.
And yet, numerous Spirit Veins appeared before the two of them.
The two counted, their expressions changed again.
"A total of 15 Mid-grade Spirit Veins, this... this..." Qing Lin's mouth gaped wide open, but his glowing eyes betrayed his joy.
"Gulp." Xiao Yi swallowed hard, shaking his head.
"No wonder the formation enveloping this place is so ancient and powerful."
"15 Mid-grade Spirit Veins, if word got out, it would drive any Martial Artist mad."
Currently, Xiao Yi was also in deep joy.
15 Mid-grade Spirit Veins, any Mid-grade Spirit Stone's effect is more than ten times that of a Low Grade Spirit Stone.
The Ice Mountain Fire Sea, which had always blocked his Cultivation Realm for a long time, could probably be crossed effortlessly.
Just a few days ago, the Ice Mountain Fire Sea that appeared could easily be perfected, it's a first.
In other words, the Infinite Sacred Realm is within reach of a breakthrough.
"Xiao Yi." Qing Lin suddenly said, "Do you think if we cultivate here hard for ten to eight years, when we come out, we can surely become Supreme Experts, and even overthrow Heavenly King Mountain?"
"Ten to eight years?" Xiao Yi's face twitched, then he shook his head.
"Take all the Spirit Stones, let's not cultivate here, let's wait until we're back at the Academy."
"Hmm?" Qing Lin looked puzzled.
Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, experts from Heavenly King Mountain will arrive here soon."
"I'm not sure if their Formation experts among them can break the formation."
"If they can, experts from Heavenly King Mountain, plus those from all major forces, will pose a huge threat to us."
"True." Qing Lin nodded.
The two waved their sleeves, quickly absorbing the Spirit Stones.
The Universe Rings in their hands were rapidly filled.
Fortunately, they both had several empty Universe Rings, enough to store away the 15 Mid-grade Spirit Veins.
"Let's go." said Xiao Yi.
"Wait." Qing Lin paused, "Xiao Yi, since we're taking all these Spirit Stones away, won't there be no more Cloud Dragons in the Cloud Sea Dangerous Land in the future?"
"That's right." Xiao Yi nodded, "Cloud Dragons are originally the Spiritual Sense of these Spirit Veins; with the Spirit Veins gone, the Cloud Dragons will naturally no longer appear."
"However, though these Spiritual Senses have been born, they have almost no thought."
"Like that Cloud Dragon we tried to forcibly capture last night, no matter how we tried to trap it, it only instinctively resisted and got angry, continuing to meander forward based on instinct."
"Their Spiritual Sense is too pure and primitive, existing only with instinct."
"Additionally, the reason they return at sunrise is that this formation is the key to their existence."
"Once the formation collapses, the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Veins will disperse into the Heaven and Earth, and they will vanish along with it."
Qing Lin pondered for a moment, "In simple terms, these Spirit Stones are formed by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, born from the Heaven and Earth."
"So these Cloud Dragon Spiritual Senses are also born from the Heaven and Earth?"
"You could say that." Xiao Yi nodded.
"Damn it." Qing Lin stomped angrily, "I was scared half to death by these things back then."
"Haha." Xiao Yi chuckled, shaking his head.
Those Cloud Dragons were nothing but mindless objects, their dispersal wasn't really a loss.
The two arrived at the Formation Barrier, Xiao Yi conjured the Ice Phoenix Sword, gently carving out an opening.
The two slipped through the gap to exit.
Beyond the formation, the thick white clouds remained.
The two flew into the air, departing quickly.
Suddenly, an array of auras emerged below, hundreds, escalating to a thousand.
Moreover, each aura was extraordinary, at least above the Saint Realm.
"So many experts." Xiao Yi squinted.
Qing Lin took a glance and his face changed, "No less than hundreds of Saint King Realm, they're from Heavenly King Mountain."
Xiao Yi fixed his gaze, penetrating the dense white clouds, and clearly sensed the presence of Black Poison Saint King.
"The presence of Black Poison Saint King, plus many Martial Artists whose aura matches his, hurry up."
Xiao Yi urged in a low voice.
The two accelerated to the limit, streaking like two streams of light across the Heaven.
Below, a group of Martial Artists, precisely Heavenly King Mountain's warriors.
Leading them was that imposing middle-aged man.
Behind him, apart from Black Poison Saint King, accompanied several elders with overpowering auras.
"Hmm?" The group of experts naturally noticed the swiftly passing streaks above.
"That was..." The middle-aged man frowned.
The Black Poison Saint King reacted instantly, "It's them, the two villains Xiao Yi and Qing Lin."
"How are they here?" The middle-aged man's brow furrowed, "Oh no, the formation map..."
...
