C1453 The mystery of ink crystals
Boom!
Xiao Lang punched out with his fist and instantly, the Abandoned Mine in front of him crumbled and collapsed immediately. As the flames evaporated and shattered, and without even seeing Xiao Lang's movements, dozens of black figures pounced over, all captured by Xiao Lang.
All of them were inkstones!
Furthermore, the number of Ink Crystals in this Waste Ore area had astonishingly reached seventy!
Xiao Lang's eyes shone as he stared at the round and peculiar black crystal in his hand:
"All five mines actually have inkstones!"
Yes.
While Xiao Lang was sweeping through the four major mining areas, he also went to their respective Waste Ore areas to check and find traces of Ink Crystals.
What did this mean?
"The ink crystal is spread across the entire Dragon Sun Star!"
"Perhaps there's another mine outside the five major mining areas, one that even the five forces have yet to discover. It's filled with ink-crystal mines!"
Thinking about it, Xiao Lang became excited.
Ink Crystals could help him comprehend the Dao, and could even mend the scattered True Spirit. To him, it was too important!
Even though he had already obtained a lot of Ink Crystals, and the number of Ink Crystals in the five mines had reached a terrifying amount, Xiao Lang was still not satisfied.
Not satisfied, because it's not safe.
He had just entered the Dao Becoming Tribulation not too long ago, who knew how long it would take him to comprehend a complete Great Way of the Buddha, and officially end the Dao Becoming Tribulation.
Will the inkstones be enough?
Xiao Lang absolutely did not dare guarantee this, because he had never had this kind of experience before. Thus, to him, the more inkstones he had, the better. Only then would he be safe.
If there really was an inkstone mine...
Xiao Lang restrained his restless heart and analyzed rationally:
"Among the five great mining areas, the South Level Mine has the most amount of Ink Crystals in the Abandoned Mine. This means that if there really is a place where the Dragon Sun Star produces Ink Crystals, it will definitely be closest to the South Level Mining Area!"
Thinking about it, Xiao Lang held onto the Ink Crystal in his hand, and looked at the thirteen people behind him, and asked sternly:
"Have you found the vein of this crystal?"
When Xiao Lang asked this question, he did not carry much hope, but he had already made his own preparations to search. However, once he started his search, it would all depend on luck.
However, what he did not expect was that someone from the crowd immediately opened their mouth:
"Reporting to Master, I seem to have heard of it."
Someone stood out. It was a skinny middle-aged man. Seeing him, Xiao Lang's brows immediately twitched, and a strand of hope suddenly surfaced in his heart. Xiao Lang remembered this middle-aged man. When he asked these people to search for the Ink Crystal for him, the expressions of the others were all shocked, and only this middle-aged man had the most change in expression.
Xiao Lang originally did not care about this, especially since he had just drawn the teleportation circle of the teleportation circle that was at the core of the Nanping mining area.
"Xu Zhe, you know?"
The middle-aged man's name was Xu Zhe.
Xu Zhe nodded and respectfully replied, "Reporting to master, I don't know where there are mines, but I have heard of them."
"I was one of the first to come to the Southlevel Mine under the protection of the Dragon Sun Star. It has been more than six hundred years since then. I recall that when I first arrived, I had heard of the discussions between Reverend Plum Mountain and Venerable Wind Moon. Back then, they held such a crystal in their hands. At that time, the Nanping mining area had still been researching it for a long time, but after discovering that it was useless against True Gods, that it was ineffective against World Stage, that it was useless against Sovereign of Epoch Stage, and that there was no benefit to it at all, so they gave up on mining it. "
"Just now, when Master said that, I felt a sense of familiarity. That's why I suddenly realized it."
There really was an ink-crystal mine!
Xiao Lang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it, and his heart shook greatly.
Great!
This was simply the best news he had received since arriving at the Dragon Sun Star!
But...
From Xu Zhe's reply, Xiao Lang also felt a little confused.
Ink Crystals were ineffective against the Venerable One?
That shouldn't be!
"Don't I have the ability to absorb power from inside to replenish the True Spirit and even comprehend the Great Way? Could it be that the other Venerable Ones can't? "
Xiao Lang felt something was amiss.
However, in the face of such a pleasant surprise, Xiao Lang did not think too much about it. Waving his hand, he took out twelve Ink Crystals and placed them in the hands of everyone other than Xu Zhe.
"Keep looking for this rock here. Do not slow down the excavation of the South Level Mining Area's Flame Essence. Hurry up!"
"Xu Zhe, come with me and find this mine!"
Xiao Lang ordered, of course no one dared to disobey, they immediately displayed their own abilities and flew between the Abandoned Mine to search, and immediately after, Abandoned Mine began to collapse, ink crystals were dug out one after another and landed in their hands.
Xiao Lang did not stay and supervise them, and brought Xu Zhe out of the cave.
"Where?"
Xu Zhe hovered in the sky, activated his memory, and searched carefully. Although hundreds of years had passed, the terrain around the Nanping mining area didn't change that much. Plus, he was one of the participants, so Xu Zhe quickly found some traces of it.
"Over there!"
Xu Zhe pointed the way decisively and was very sure. Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, and looked deeply into Xu Zhe's eyes, he immediately controlled his lightning to move, and caught Xu Zhe in his hand.
He wasn't afraid that Xu Zhe would lie to him.
Unless, Xu Zhe really wanted to die!
Of course, it was not like Xu Zhe didn't want Xiao Lang to live in a dangerous place just for the safety of the entire Nanping mining area.
As a result, although Xiao Lang's actions looked decisive, he was actually being careful. The Strength of Great Dao was everywhere, and he was constantly observing his surroundings. But very quickly, after the two of them had traveled for less than two hours, traversing the distance of over ten thousand kilometers, Xiao Lang was certain that Xu Zhe was not lying.
He could already feel the aura of the ink-crystal. It was especially thick up ahead!
"There really is an inkstone mine!"
Xiao Lang suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked in front of him. It was a valley, and it was not too different from other places.
"It's here!"
Xu Zhe said resolutely.
"Back then, over a hundred of us followed the Mei Shan Venerable Ones here, and the Mei Shan Venerable Ones opened up a path in the center of the valley. The might of the Divine Weapon drilled into the ground, and we dug out the Ink Crystal that the people of the Young Master said. It's a pity that no matter how hard we try, we are unable to extract even the slightest bit of strength from it, so we can only helplessly give up. "
Hearing that, Xiao Lang's eyes lit up, and immediately looked towards the center of the valley. This time, Xiao Lang did not need Xu Zhe to give him any pointers, and was already able to see the words he had just said, "Mei Shan Venerable being used to create a tunnel". It was a gigantic Crypt that stretched down into the ground for countless of miles, and there were no signs of even his five fingers moving, covering the ground like a big, bloody mouth.
It really was here!
Xiao Lang could feel that the power of the Ink Crystal was densest here, and it even gave him a strong feeling that he wanted to immediately go into closed door cultivation. Xiao Lang fiercely bit the tip of his tongue and regained his spirits.
"Down!"
Since they had found the ink-crystal mine, there was no reason for them to leave empty-handed. Ink Crystals were useless to ordinary Supreme Realm cultivators, but they were extremely useful to him!
Xiao Lang immediately jumped down, Xu Zhe clenched his teeth, and followed along.
After dropping the Crypt, Xiao Lang just realized that Xu Zhe's previous words were indeed exaggerated.
The Crypt below was definitely not something that the Meishan Venerable One had used with a single strike. The stone walls beneath his feet were in a complete mess, it was obvious that he had been struck multiple times before he was able to break through, it was not as smooth as a single strike from a divine weapon.
However, this kind of exaggeration was harmless.
Xiao Lang continued walking down, suddenly a thought struck him, he extended his hand out like lightning and touched the stone wall, and when he retracted his arm, a black crystal appeared between his fingers.
Ink Crystal!
"The inkstones here are actually available everywhere?!"
Xiao Lang was shocked.
Even though he had sensed the powerful aura of the Ink Crystal and knew that the amount of Ink Crystals stored here was terrifying, he had not expected that it would be so easy to obtain.
He casually picked one up.
How many inkstones were there in this vein!?
Thinking up to here, even the normally steady Xiao Lang could not help but have his eyes turn completely red. It was too exciting!
Whoosh!
Xiao Lang continued to walk down with an extremely fast speed. He had to find out how big this vein was! Xiao Lang had already started to make his plans. In these few days, he would definitely transfer enough people from the five big mining areas to dig up all the inkstones!
The Five Elemental Essences were important, but compared to the Ink Crystal, they weren't even considered good!
Xiao Lang excitedly walked down. Feeling the aura that was unique to Ink Crystals becoming denser, the excitement and agitation in his heart grew even stronger. To him, the more crystals, the better!
But suddenly ?
"Master."
Xu Zhe who was following behind him suddenly spoke, Xiao Lang frowned and turned his head, only to see the former's pale white face with a face like gold paper, looking extremely weak, he was greatly surprised.
"Master, I can't hold on any longer. The pressure here is too great."
Pressure?
Xiao Lang immediately understood.
It was the pressure brought by the Ink Crystal to Xu Zhe!
Although Xu Zhe was at World Stage and couldn't feel the aura of the Ink Crystal, that didn't mean it didn't exist. It was obvious how strong the aura of the Ink Crystal was. As a Warrior of the World Stage, Xu Zhe was unable to absorb the energy contained within, so he was definitely oppressed. It was already quite good that he was able to last until now.2
"Alright."
Xiao Lang nodded his head: "Then you can go up, and return to the mining area first."
Receiving Xiao Lang's reply, Xu Zhe's face immediately revealed gratitude. He cupped his hands and bowed, and then flew up as if he was escaping, and disappeared in the next moment.
As for Xiao Lang, of course he would continue walking down.
He still hadn't figured out how big this ink-crystal mine was.
However, just as Xiao Lang was walking further and further, sensing the aura of the surrounding sunglasses and the excitement in his heart, I didn't notice that he suddenly felt his feet slip, and his entire body staggered, falling straight into the depths!
Whoosh!
He lost control of his speed!
Xiao Lang immediately controlled his Spirit Qi to control his own body, but what made him shocked was that the Spirit Force seemed to be completely useless. He was not even able to unleash Love Emptiness, and the path under his feet was even smoother.
"What's going on?"
"Xu Zhe, did you harm me?"
That's not right!
The moment this thought surfaced, it was immediately overturned by Xiao Lang.
Xu Zhe didn't dare to!
Because it was not only him, even all the Soul Blood in the Nanping District were with him. If he died, none of them would be able to survive!
"It was an accident!"
Xiao Lang finally focused his attention on the stone wall beneath his feet.
Smooth?
Something was not right!
No matter how strong that Meishan Venerable One was, it was impossible for him to create such a long and smooth path with a single strike. He had already fallen very deep. This corridor had always existed!
There must be a universe below!
Xiao Lang's mind flashed, his mind became serious as he saw through the truth, he did not struggle anymore, and started to silently count, to deduce the height of his descent.
300 meters. 300 meters. 1,500 meters ?
10,000 meters!
