I Have A Cultivation World-Chapter 440 - 318 Fu Zongjue_1
Chapter 440: Chapter 318 Fu Zongjue_1
After taking over the Spirit Stone Mine, the Divine Wood Sect wouldn’t simply pillage and leave.
Under Weng Chuanyou’s command, the Qi practitioners that they had transported via the Teleportation Array, began mining the stones, one after the other.
Although none of them were professionals, under the lure of the Spirit Stones, everyone was using their magic artifacts to dig, sparing no effort.
With a hundred Qi practitioners and the assistance of eight cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm, they could mine raw ores worth seven to eight thousand spirit stones a day from this mine.
During this time, Ji Dingjin led his team in two field charges but was repelled back by Chu Zuoshu, who relied on superior manpower and meticulous battle arrays.
Inside the mine tunnel, Chen Mobai’s “Red Misty Cloud Silk” scattered from his wrist.
Under his Psychic control, the mist transformed into strands of Sword Qi, it smoothly cut the surrounding stone walls into large squares like slicing tofu.
With his divine sense scanning over, which stones contained spirit stones and which were ordinary stones were clearly imprinted into his mind.
As the misty cloud turned into a whirlwind-like dragon and swept up the cut-off stones, under Chen Mobai’s meticulous operation, all the ordinary stones were quickly crushed into rubble, revealing only irregularly shaped spirit stones of varying sizes among the debris on the ground.
Chen Mobai nodded in satisfaction, beckoned with his hand, and the dozen or so spirit stones on the ground flew into the storage bag tied around his waist.
Compared to the others, his mining efficiency was quite high.
Even so, not even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm were give up rest and continuously practice their psychic control round-the-clock.
Not to mention the Qi practitioners.
Hence, the usual practice of mining a Spirit Stone Mine is to use mortal miners to slowly excavate the entire vein. Mortals lack the strength to damage the spirit stones which, although slow, ensures that nothing is wasted.
While cultivators mine more efficiently, their limited psychic control might damage the integrity of the spirit stones during violent excavations.
But given that Chen Mobai’s team were not in their own spirit stone mine and feared a counterattack from the cultivator army of Rock and Sky Countries marshalled by Mountain Shaker Peak, they made full use of this time to mine as much as they could, ignoring any wastage or damages.
On the other hand, Chen Mobai, whose psychic control far exceeded that of a cultivator at the early foundation stage, and who had the Void Spirit Eye that could see Spiritual Light, did not have this worry.
In the ten days he spent in this Spirit Stone Mine, he had mined raw ore worth nearly four to five thousand Spirit Stones.
The other cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm had also gained two to three thousand Spirit Stones.
Weng Chuanyou stipulated that each cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm had to submit two hundred Spirit stones to the sect daily, but he turned a blind eye to the rest of their earnings, letting them store it in their own storage bags.
For this reason, every cultivator from the Divine Wood Sect was happily mining away.
However, these good times would inevitably come to an end.
One day, while Chen Mobai and the others were mining, an oppressive, terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky. Accompanied by a cold snort, the entire mine began to vibrate and shake.
“This isn’t good, it’s a Golden Core Cultivator!”
Chen Mobai had confronted such an entity before in Red Sandstone City, when he sensed this being’s aura, his face immediately turned pale.
But just as he was going to flee using the short-range teleportation talisman, the terrifying aura suddenly moved away, seemingly occupied with other important matters.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Mobai’s face turned pale again.
The Golden Core Cultivator just now was openly hostile to them and being at his realm, he probably would need less than a day to annihilate them all.
Despite this, he still gave up on the Spirit Stone Mine. The only explanation was that there was a more worthwhile target for him to pursue.
Compared to their small group, the only thing that could be of main concern to a Golden Core Cultivator was the Divine Wood Sect army led by Chu Zuoshu.
“This is bad!”
Chen Mobai immediately rushed out of the underground tunnel, not alone, but with the other seven foundation establishment cultivators who had also sensed the aura of the Golden Core cultivator earlier.
Weng Chuanyou, with a gloomy face, announced some bad news.
The teleportation array was destroyed.
The choice of the Golden Core cultivator sure was swift, accurate, and ruthless.
If he could seriously damage or even kill a few key cultivators at the foundation establishment realm in his own army, he would be able to disband and annihilate them completely.
He hadn’t spared their small group, having infiltrated the Rock Country either.
After cutting off the teleportation array, there would be time to surround and kill them, once the Divine Wood Sect army besieging Ji Dingjin was defeated.
“Can it be repaired?”
“No, the Golden Core cultivator has cut off the earth vein. However, I had taken two sets of small Teleportation Array materials from the sect as a precaution, which we can use to set up another one.”
The first half of Weng Chuanyou’s words caused everyone to look serious, but fortunately, there were good news following it, else they might have already been thinking about how to escape.
“Setting up the teleportation array takes three days. If the Golden Core Cultivator takes action, Hall Master Chu there might not be able to hold out for even a day.”
Xi Yisheng said with a worried look on his face.
“Previously, due to the low Spirit Vein Level, it would take three days as we needed to infuse Spirit Stones to enhance the Spirit Vein. But this time, if we do it here, it will take only two days.”
Weng Chuanyou brought another piece of good news and everyone’s expressions eased slightly.
