Spirit Vessel

Chapter 825: Spirit Stone Harvest



The entire Heavenly Kingdom was occupied with mining. The smart beasts and even spirit beasts were gathering ores from the mines.

This was the case for all the nine continents and twelve oceans. The black eagles then transported the excavated ores into the central continent. In that place were special spirit beasts in charge of preparation, taking out the spirit stones from the rocks then storing them.

Feiyun traveled to Central and saw waves of black eagles everywhere.

Some of them had wings spanning hundreds of meters. They carried ores piling up like a mountain on their back.

A few massive spirit beasts traveled on the ground and carried even more.

“That’s a 2,000-year Archaic Wolf comparable to a Nirvana cultivator.”

“That… that’s a seven-tailed nature bird, a creature with a sacred bloodline. I’ve only read about them in the old scrolls.”

Yao Ji was shocked to see the powerful beasts in the kingdom. Some were just as powerful as her.

They were extremely respectful to Feiyun and offered him their respect upon sight.

Ningshuai and the turtle jumped on one of the mountainous ore piles and started celebrating: “So many ores, how many spirit stones will come from this pile alone?!”

Ningshuai instinctively put an ore piece in his pocket but then remembered how he nearly got thrown into the ocean. Plus, he saw Feiyun and Yao Ji walking over. He took the piece out and pretended to look at it before putting it back and commenting: “Mmm, not bad, not bad.”

This place was a massive plain. Now, it became the storage of the spirit ores - several thousand sections or so.

Numerous beasts were carefully cutting them down to find the spirit stones. Everything was done in an orderly manner.

“Hey, Big Leopard, bring me that section, it’s special, maybe a dozen or so spirit stones will be in there.” Little Demoness stood next to a mine and ordered a leopard towering at thirty meters.

It was 900 years old but didn’t look ferocious at all. On the contrary, it seemed docile and friendly. It carried an ore weighing more than 400,000 pounds over to her.

This ore was full of spirituality, red from top to bottom. It was taken from the bottom of a mine.

Little Demoness took out a sharp knife and stood before the massive piece of ore. She cut here and there, thinking about the right spots.

The ore gradually reduced in size but not a spirit stone could be seen.

She became angry and annoyed, thinking that this ore was useless. How could there not be a single spirit stone yet?

“Whoosh!” She directly split the entire thing in two. Sure enough, it was a piece of crap without a single stone.

She stomped the ground to show her annoyance.

“A big one doesn’t mean there will be a lot of spirit stones inside. They have spirituality, carefully sense that.” Feiyun came over and smiled.

“Bro! You’re here!” Her bright eyes became bright.

Feiyun nodded and looked around. He picked a white ore around the size of a human head, clearly from a different mine. It had flashing dao lines while looking like lime.

Little Demoness crouched down and touched it: “This one has spirit stone? It doesn’t look like it.”

“It should.” He smiled and borrowed her knife, cutting down layers of lime. Spirit fog came out in an increasing amount the more he cut.

He eventually became more careful in order to not damage the spirit stone inside.

After the final layer was gone, a blinding radiance erupted just like the sun. He quickly created a formation outside the stone.

The light subsided after a while, revealing a spirit stone the size of a fist with a golden glow.

A formation was needed for newly-excavated spirit stone in order to preserve their spirit energy.

“A Boundary Spirit Stone!” Ningshuai blurted out and wanted to take it. However, he tripped on something along the way and fell down.

“Who stepped on me just now?!” The turtle shouted.

Feiyun stared at the stone and found that the space within was large enough to store a small mountain.

Boundary Spirit Stone was ranked 14th. It was quite rare and precious, capable of storing items.

The majority of spatial pouches in Jin were made from broken fragments and layers of this stone. The inside space was small - only the size of a room or so.

This stone was equal to 10,000 True Mysterious Spirit Stones, quite a large amount in Jin.

He noticed Little Demoness staring intensely at the stone. She rubbed her palms together, seemingly hesitating.

“Little Qingqing, you can have it.” He said.

“Okay!” She didn’t hold back at all and accepted it right away.

Bi Ningshuai and the turtle watched enviously. They then ran towards the other ores and began a search.

This precious stone was actually useless in this scenario because the Evil Woman only required the three lowest-ranking stones.

“How many have we gotten?” Feiyun went to the center and asked Long Cangyue.

A human still needed to preside over administrative duties. Feiyun left Long Cangyue and several Supremes of Beastmaster in charge.

Long Cangyue glanced at Yao Ji for a second before answering: “It’s going smoothly, 2,160,000 of the three lowest types. The beasts have learned how to cut the ores so the production rate is improving. We’re getting around 50,000 each day.”

This exceeded Feiyun’s expectation, more than 2,000,000 stones! The Yin Gou toiled for thousands of years and might not have more than this.

It only required two months of excavation in Heavenly Kingdom to reach this number.

Of course, this had a lot to do with the full mobilization of the beasts here. There were so many of them so this level of success was understandable.

“We found some other interesting things as well.” Cangyue smiled.

“Oh?”

She brought him to a shrine guarded by a spirit beast ancestor. The ancestor saw Feiyun and stood up to bow its head towards him.

The shrine contained thousands of strange items excavated recently.

Among them were some high-ranking spirit stones. For example, more than 1,400 pieces of Darkblue Spirit Stones, ranked 15th. 85 pieces of Boundary Spirit Stone, ranked 14th. 12 pieces of Golden String Spirit Stone, ranked 13th.

There were some even higher-ranking ones. These were extremely rare in Jin, enough to make people go crazy.

Feiyun naturally took all of them. He was about to head to Central and needed the resources.

The actual value of these stones far exceeded the 2,000,000 lower-ranking stones.

“Oh? A celestial spirit metal. This is great for crafting, usable for a sixth-ranked spirit treasure. It’s so big too, at least one thousand pounds.” Feiyun immediately put it away.

“Damn, a fire crystal too? This is the material for eighth-ranked pills.” He put another thing away.

Most people in Jin wouldn’t recognize these items. However, they should fetch for a high-price in Central since they would be rare there too.

He found even more precious items later on and put them away.

Of course, many things were useless too. He quickly discarded them.

He gave Yao Ji and Cangyue a Boundary Spirit Stone each. They were helpful for cultivation, also for convenience's sake.

He also gave one to Bi Ningshuai and the turtle later. Then, he came to Nalan Xuejian’s place and decided to cultivate for a bit, wanting to learn the second diagram of Golden Silkworm.
