C105 Once Again
"Dang!"
"Dang, dang, dang, dang!"
"Dang, dang, dang..."
The sound of metal hitting metal could be heard from the spacious cave.
Lin Cheng was standing in front of the Spirit Stone Vein. He kept raising the short sword in his hand and chopping down. One Spirit Stone after another was dug out!
It had been a day since he had fallen here.
In this entire day, Lin Cheng had been trying his best to mine the Spirit Stone Vein.
In fact, it was much easier for him to open the Spirit Stone Vein than Zhu Ziqiao. The Yuan energy in his body was indeed quite thick. In terms of Yuan energy alone, he was almost comparable to a sixth or seventh level Chakra Stage expert!
However, the problem was that he was only a Second Level of Chakra Stage Cultivation Level after all. There were only a few chakras in his body, but compared to a true Chakra Stage warrior... This gap was the most obvious. It was the degree of recovery of his Yuan energy.
The more chakras there were, the stronger the recovery ability would be. It might even reach the peak of the Chakra Stage. The chakras in his body were constantly rotating, absorbing the natural Yuan energy from the outside world. There was no need to stop to cultivate and recover.
At that time, as long as the Cultivating Warrior did not use a forbidden technique that could instantly suck out all the Yuan Qi in his body, he could basically continue fighting.
However, the current Lin Cheng wasn't able to do it. The reason why the Yuan energy in his body was so thick was because of this. The main reason was because he had opened 33 of his 36 main meridians. According to Zhu Ziqiao, this was almost unprecedented.
Although Zhu Ziqiao's horizons were not too broad, at least her knowledge was much wider than Lin Cheng's. From this, one could know that Lin Cheng's Cultivation Level was even in the entire Dongzhou. Perhaps it could be considered quite outstanding.
However, without sufficient chakras, Lin Cheng would not be able to continue digging the Spirit Stone.
In this process, Lin Cheng was also secretly testing how long he could last!
In the end, he discovered that he would be able to continuously stimulate his Yuan energy for more than four hours before feeling tired. Roughly four hours to six hours, the Yuan energy in his body would be exhausted to the point of exhaustion.
This conclusion made Lin Cheng feel incomparably delighted in his heart.
Being able to persist for such a long period of time was truly formidable!
According to Lin Cheng's understanding, if it was purely based on the amount of time one could stimulate the Yuan energy, even an ordinary Third and Fourth Level Chakra Stage wouldn't be able to last for such a long period of time. Unless it was a genius with extraordinary talent who was able to achieve or surpass this period of time.
However, Lin Cheng relied on his thick and majestic meridians to step on a Third and Fourth Level Chakra Stage. This not only made him extremely happy, but also gave him great confidence. This gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.
"Hu!"
It was only when his physical strength and Yuan energy were almost completely exhausted that Lin Cheng let out a long breath of foul air. After that, he sat cross-legged on the Spirit Stone, circulated the Profound Arts, and began his cultivation and recovery.
However, as soon as he started cultivating, he couldn't help but be startled. He cried out involuntarily, "Such rich Yuan Qi?!"
Lin Cheng had been focused on mining the Spirit Stone and had not paid too much attention to it. However, when he started cultivating, he immediately felt the rich Yuan Qi around him.
He was truly too shocked. The rich Spirit Qi within the Spirit Stone was natural. However, there was actually such a rich Yuan Qi in the surroundings. In such an environment, even if he didn't sit on the Spirit Stone, practicing speed is a bit faster than in the outside world.
"With the Spirit Stone Vein and such rich Yuan Qi, this place is probably the legendary treasure ground that can gather the essence of heaven and earth. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to form a Spirit Stone Vein."
Lin Cheng thought to himself and shook his head. It was a pity that his current strength was too low. Otherwise, he would have cultivated in this treasure land for one or two years. Not to mention breaking through to the Core Sea Stage and becoming a cultivator, as long as there was a suitable Profound Arts... He was confident that he could reach the peak of the Core Sea Stage.
"Too greedy!"
Lin Cheng suddenly shook his head and smiled. He said to himself, "People need to learn to be content, and they need to know when to stop. If they are too greedy, they will only end up dying."
Cultivation was not only about increasing one's strength. The stronger one was and the stronger one was, the more important it was to train one's mind. Lin Cheng had long understood this principle, so he had been deliberately training his mind.
Therefore, he quickly calmed down and began to meditate.
The chakram on his body was spinning rapidly. An incomparably dense Yuan Qi began to enter Lin Cheng's body. After being tempered, it turned into Yuan Qi and entered his Dantian and meridians.
"Weng!"
At this moment, Lin Cheng suddenly felt the Black Iron Chunk, which had originally remained motionless in his dantian, suddenly tremble.
Lin Cheng was immediately startled. Every time the Black Iron Chunk moved, something unusual would happen. For example, the first time he was in the Dongzhou College. The ___ would devour all the spiritual energy that he had absorbed, and almost sucked him dry. In the end, he didn't pass the exam of the Dongzhou College.
The second time was when he was capturing the Blue Fire. The Blue Fire suddenly erupted. At that critical moment, the Black Iron Chunk unexpectedly moved again, and forcefully suppressed the explosive Blue Fire.
It was precisely because of the unusual movement of the Black Iron Chunk that Lin Cheng was able to successfully collect the Blue Fire.
At this moment, the Black Iron Chunk once again showed signs of movement.
"Just what is this Black Iron Chunk? Why...?" Lin Cheng was a little puzzled when he saw the Black Iron Chunk suddenly tremble a few times. In the next moment, Lin Cheng suddenly felt a surge of energy rushing towards his body.
Lin Cheng turned pale with fright, because this energy was too violent. It was too violent and dense, just like a solidified spiritual Qi. He wanted to stop it, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't even know how to stop it.
This energy surged into Lin Cheng's body and instantly entered his dantian. Just when Lin Cheng thought his dantian was going to explode and his body was going to explode, the energy suddenly entered his Black Iron Chunk.
Lin Cheng was stunned. The Black Iron Chunk was actually absorbing the energy from the outside world?
This...
"Hu!"
"Hua!"
Before Lin Cheng could recover from his shock, he suddenly felt his body lighten. He suddenly fell down and instinctively unleashed his Yuan energy. He rolled in the air and landed on the steps. In the next moment, the scene in front of him stunned him.
The originally white and smooth Spirit Stone Vein in front of him turned into a pile of powder in an instant. He felt his body lighten just now, and his body fell down. It was because this pile of powder was collapsing and falling in all directions...
"I'm really seeing a ghost!"
Lin Cheng swallowed hard and could not help but say, "This is a Spirit Stone Vein, a Spirit Stone Vein! It actually... turned into powder just like that?!"
Turning into powder?
Lin Cheng suddenly had a thought when he thought of this. After the Spirit Stone was completely absorbed and consumed, it would also turn into powder. The violent and rich energy that surged into his body just now...
Lin Cheng's expression suddenly became strange. He seemed to understand why this Spirit Stone Vein would turn into a pile of powder. It was all because of the Black Iron Chunk in his dantian. The energy and spirit energy in this Spirit Stone Vein. It was all sucked away by the Black Iron Chunk!
Thinking of this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel like he was going crazy.
A Spirit Stone Vein!
If he could mine it, how many Spirit Stones would he be able to mine? And just like that, it was absorbed by a Black Iron Chunk of unknown origin?!
Lin Cheng was going crazy and could not help but smile bitterly. Now that the Spirit Stone was gone, what did he and Zhu Ziqiao need to use to cultivate in order to increase their strength in a short period of time? How was Zhu Ziqiao going to investigate the cause of her biological parents' death?
How could he kill his way into the Myriad Sword Sect?
At this time, Lin Cheng was not even interested in checking the changes in the Black Iron Chunk. He looked at the Spirit Stone Vein that had turned into powder in front of him and smiled bitterly.
This time, he really did not know how to explain it to Zhu Ziqiao. That girl must have been waiting for him to bring the Spirit Stone up.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Lin Cheng's gaze inadvertently fell at the end of the Spirit Stone Vein. That was the end of the tunnel that had disappeared into the stone wall. This tunnel obviously wasn't the complete version of the Spirit Stone Vein. There was still a section that went deep into the stone wall.0
"Perhaps, the Spirit Stone Vein was not completely absorbed?" A glimmer of hope involuntarily rose in Lin Cheng's heart. Perhaps, what the Black Iron Chunk had absorbed just now was only the Spirit Stone in the mine. The Spirit Stone in the stone wall hadn't been completely absorbed?
"Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I still have to give it a try!" Lin Cheng immediately jumped down the stairs, one foot deep and one foot shallow as he stepped out of the shattered Spirit Stone. He came to the front of the stone wall and raised the short sword in his hand and slashed at the stone wall.
"Puff!"
With the infusion of elemental energy, the short sword hacked at the stone wall as easily as cutting tofu with a steel knife. A stone was easily chopped off.
Lin Cheng did not stop. His wrist shook and the short sword slashed at lightning speed.
"Puah Puah Puah..."
Rocks flew everywhere. In just a dozen breaths' time, a large piece of the stone wall was split open. However, what made Lin Cheng disappointed was that the Spirit Stone Vein below was still crushed into powder. He could not help but feel his heart sink.
Could it be that the entire Spirit Stone Vein had been absorbed by the Black Iron Chunk?
"Continue digging!"
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and continued chopping the stone wall.
Ten breaths.
One hundred breaths.
Half an incense stick of time...
Lin Cheng kept chopping. After half an incense stick of time, his entire body had already penetrated deep into the stone wall. However, he still did not obtain any harvest. The Spirit Stone Vein underneath his feet was still crushed into powder.
Lin Cheng frowned. His expression was tense. He gritted his teeth and did not plan to give up. Instead, he continued chopping.
As long as time permitted it, he wouldn't hesitate to dig all the way to the end of the Spirit Stone Vein!
Giving up so easily was not his style!
It was also with this kind of perseverance that Lin Cheng in his previous life was able to forcefully call himself the Pill King of the generation with the natural endowment of a trash with inborn death meridians!
Swoosh!
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and slashed.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound suddenly rang out.
Lin Cheng's eyes lit up. This sound... was the Spirit Stone!
