Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 81 Spiritual Stone Veins
In the vast ocean, numerous islands of different sizes and shapes are scattered in a disorderly manner.

More than ten feet underwater, close to the sea surface, a giant fish the same color as the sea water swam quietly by.

"... Senior Sister, how long will it take to get there?"

Inside the "Big Fish", the young man's clear and peaceful voice was heard.

A soft and melodious voice answered, "Almost. Probably still about half an hour."

This big fish is actually a flying boat that has been cleverly disguised by magic. In order to avoid being discovered by the Mu family's spies, it is unsafe to go either in the air or on the sea, so it sneaks in quietly underwater.

In the cabin, Ling Qiyue looked at the jade slip in her hand, and her powerful spiritual sense extended in all directions, until it penetrated hundreds of feet into the sea.

This jade slip is not the original one, but a copy she made herself. As for the original jade slip, it has been left on Longhuan Island and locked and sealed in a secret warehouse somewhere.

This was Ling Changqing's suggestion. The authentic jade slip might contain some unknown fatal trap, so it should not be carried on the body.

Ling Qiyue and the other girl attached great importance to his opinion, so they chose this arrangement to reduce the probability of accidents as much as possible.

Tang Qiuyao sighed softly, "I never thought that there would be such a huge spiritual stone deposit hidden in the deep sea at the edge of the Feiyu Sea. I really don't know how the Mu family discovered it."

"Perhaps... this secret was not discovered by them, but was seized from other forces?"

Ling Qiyue said that the reputation of the Mu family cultivators in the Feiyu Sea has always been bad. There are always some guys who rely on their strength to do things like bullying men and women and extorting money outside.

The top brass of the Mu family have always turned a blind eye to such matters, and even adopted an attitude of tacit approval and connivance, as long as the younger generations do not provoke those powerful forces.

Therefore, it is very likely that this map was obtained by the Mu family through some dishonorable means, such as robbing foreign cultivators, killing people and stealing treasures.

"Maybe, but this question is no longer important to us."

Ling Qiyue said that now that the Ling family already knew the secret of this seabed mineral deposit, they had to find a way to give it a try and see if they could mine some spirit stones and bring them back.

The flying boat disguised as a big fish sneaked all the way and arrived at the area marked on the map safely.

The sea is vast and the nearest islands are hundreds of miles away, and they are deserted islands. Inhabited islands are even farther away.

"Okay, let's start diving!"

As Tang Qiuyao spoke, she controlled the flying boat and began to dive into the deep sea area.

When the water depth reached nearly a hundred feet, Ling Qiyue put away the flying boat and summoned the glazed yellow umbrella. The tough light golden curtain enveloped the three of them and they continued to dive towards the target area.

One hundred feet, two hundred feet, three hundred feet...

As the depth increased, the pressure on the Glazed Yellow Umbrella gradually increased, and the light curtain was slowly squeezed back by the unusually heavy sea water.

"It would be nice if I could have a magic weapon!"

Tang Qiuyao sighed. At the bottom of the sea where the water was more than seven hundred feet deep, although the defense of the top-grade spiritual weapon could still withstand it, it would not be able to last for too long.

However, Ling Qiyue is a newly promoted Jindan Zhenren and has not had the time to refine her own magic weapon, so there is nothing that can be done about this matter at the moment.

Ling Qiyue thought for a moment and said, "It's actually not unsolvable, right? If I can get enough spirit stones, I can consider temporarily renting a magic weapon from those big forces in the future."

"Well, it's doable."

Tang Qiuyao said that the cost of refining a magic weapon by oneself was too high, and it would take a long time to complete.

In the current situation, temporarily renting a magic weapon as an emergency measure is undoubtedly the most appropriate option.

Of course, the cost of renting a magic weapon is also extremely high, and it also depends on whether you have any connections in this area. You can't rent it just because you want to.

As they were talking, the three of them had already dived to a depth of more than 500 feet.

With the help of some luminous creatures swimming in the sea, Ling Changqing could easily see the surrounding scenery.

Rolling mountains, rugged hills, deep valleys covered with thick seaweed, dark caves, and towering underwater cliffs can be seen everywhere.

Dark blue glowing jellyfish with a diameter of more than ten feet drifted with the waves, fishing net-like seaweed forests and starfish the size of pot lids were everywhere, and schools of strange fish swam by in the distance.

Moreover, the aura they exude is very dangerous. They are already among the best second-level ferocious creatures and are quite difficult to provoke.

A hundred feet away, Ling Changqing vaguely saw an unknown sea beast with a fiery red body and as big as a small mountain swimming quickly. Its aura had firmly reached the level of a third-order ferocious creature.

"It feels like there are a lot of evil creatures here. The spiritual energy in the sea water is quite abundant, and it seems violent and chaotic..."

Ling Changqing spoke in a low voice with a serious look on his face.

"This is very normal. In any area where there are large mineral veins, whether underwater or on land, the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment is like this!"

Ling Qiyue explained, stretching out her snake-like arms to hold his waist.

Moreover, creatures that grow up in such an environment will become cruel, bloodthirsty, and aggressive.

Over time, some ferocious creatures will even mutate, becoming larger and more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

With the right chance, some beast kings will have an extremely low chance of awakening their spiritual intelligence and transforming into great demons, just like high-level human cultivators.

The three of them stayed away from the dangerous creatures and continued to dive carefully.

Ling Qiyue's beautiful eyes were filled with solemnity, and cold sweat was faintly seeping out of her jade-like forehead, which showed that the pressure she was under was not insignificant.

Ling Changqing pursed his lips tightly and held his senior sister's smooth and tight waist tightly. The dangerous aura in the surrounding sea water had condensed into substance, irritating his skin like steel needles.

The Epoch Star Palace in his sea of ​​consciousness shook slightly, and a layer of profound and indescribable mysterious light enveloped his soul and body, weakening the dangerous aura that was attacking from all directions.

The luck and fortune were being depleted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a few hours it would drop to a dangerous critical point. As they continued to dive, the depth of seven hundred feet was quietly approaching.

"It should be here soon, right?"

Tang Qiuyao's soft and slightly trembling voice sounded. She and Ling Changqing had never been to such a deep sea before, and it would be a lie to say that they were not nervous.

"It's down there!"

Ling Qiyue said softly, her spiritual sense covered a range far beyond the two of them, and she had already sensed the scent of the mineral deposit covered by the sea sand.

In a moment, a winding underwater mountain range shaped like an ancient dragon appeared in the sight of the three people.

At the foot of the mountain, among the white sea sand, you can see the unique luster of the spiritual stone flashing in the distance.

The location of the seabed mineral deposit has finally been found!

"What should we do now?"

Tang Qiuyao asked softly.

Just looking at the deep-sea monsters that can be seen everywhere in the surrounding water, anyone can understand that the opportunities here are not so easy to get.

"Little Junior Brother, what do you think we should do?"

Ling Qiyue squeezed Ling Changqing's palm. In this dangerous situation, it was right to listen to this guy's arrangements.

"Let's change the location. Look for an area with fewer dangerous creatures."

Ling Changqing said that if he had not been there, the ferocious creatures around would have pounced on him long ago.

"Ok."

Ling Qiyue nodded, and swam away quietly with the two of them, searching along the direction of the underwater mountains.

After searching patiently for nearly half an hour, Ling Qiyue finally found a barely suitable area.

There were only two silverback gorillas in that place. They buried their sturdy bodies in the sea sand and were sleeping soundly.

Apart from this, there are no other ferocious creatures in the area of ​​more than ten feet around.

"That's it!"

Ling Qiyue said in a deep voice, she also knew that her junior brother couldn't hold on for too long, this was the most suitable place to start.

Tang Qiuyao and Ling Changqing had no objection to this, so the three of them approached quietly.

When she was only a few feet away from the silver-backed sea gorilla, Ling Qiyue suddenly attacked, and a sword light as thin as a cicada's wing and condensed to the extreme flashed in an instant.

The two guys suddenly opened their blood-red eyes and sat up from the sea sand. Before they could move, their two huge heads were separated from their bodies.

Without waiting for the purple-black blood to gush out, Tang Qiuyao had already cast several second-level ice talismans, instantly freezing the bodies of the two guys, and then put them into the storage bag.

"Okay, everything went well!"

Ling Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them immediately moved over and found a suitable location. Tang Qiuyao released four second-order Taoist puppets from her storage bag and began to dig the sea sand.

The sea sand, which was less than three feet thick, was soon turned over, revealing the soft and clear luster inside, which was the luster of the spirit stone.

Tang Qiuyao let out a low cry of surprise, then used the Spirit Control Technique to capture a piece of raw spiritual stone, and examined it in her hand.

"This purity is undoubtedly a standard low-grade spirit stone!"

She said happily that the spirit stones mined from Longhuan Island were generally rich in impurities and had limited purity. They had to be smelted and purified with magical power before they could reach the standard of lower-grade spirit stones.

The spiritual stone deposits here have a purity that meets the requirements. After being dug out, cut and processed into standard sizes, they can be used directly as hard currency.

"Hurry up, get to work!"

Ling Qiyue said hurriedly: "We'll dig as much as we can. We've come all the way here, so we have to make sure we get what we paid for!"

Ling Changqing asked: "Senior Sister, how long can you maintain your current cultivation level?"

Ling Qiyue looked at him and said, "I have pills to replenish my consumption, so it shouldn't be a big problem. The key is to see how long you can hold on, little junior brother."

Ling Changqing estimated silently and said, "About two hours, no more!"

"Okay, then wait for two hours."

Ling Qiyue agreed immediately.

The following process was relatively simple. As the Taoist puppets continued to dig, the tip of the iceberg of the huge mineral vein gradually emerged.

Tang Qiuyao and Ling Qiyue kept practicing the magic technique of controlling objects, collecting large pieces of raw spiritual stone into their storage bags.

They were fully prepared before coming down, and each brought more than 20 large-capacity storage bags, storage bracelets and other magical tools.

Ling Changqing also followed suit and put the pieces of raw spirit stone ore into the storage bag.

Moreover, Ling Qiyue had promised him in advance that all the raw spiritual stone ore he obtained would belong to him and he would not have to hand it over to the family after returning.

Therefore, Ling Changqing paid special attention to this. As long as he worked hard, he might be able to solve a lot of the spiritual tools and cultivation resources he needed after building his foundation.
