Chapter 735: Chapter 299: Massive Profits, Three Major Advantages, and Opportunity (10,000-Word Combined Chapter)

Fu Changsheng frowned slightly, he could feel an overwhelming pressure contained within that red stone. Though it was formless, it inspired a sense of awe in people.

"Father, this is...."

The lowest cultivated Fu Yongyi subconsciously stepped back several steps, his face slightly pale, obviously intimidated by that pressure.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze turned to the Four-winged Red Python coiled on Yaoyao’s arm. The red python hissed a few times, and after communicating with it for a long time, Yaoyao finally said:

"Father, Little Red says that when it was born, this red stone appeared here. It vaguely remembers that the original pool’s water was also blood-red, and later, after it absorbed and refined it, the original blood pool turned into a clear pool."

Hearing this, Fu Changsheng’s heart stirred. He took a few steps forward, squatted down, and carefully sensed it. He discovered that these red stones contained an abundance of Red Attribute Spiritual Qi, whose richness level was already no less than Tier Three spiritual materials.

Fu Changsheng was puzzled, what is the origin of this red stone? Why does it have such powerful pressure?

Suddenly recalling something, he patted his storage bag, and a thick book appeared in his hand. He quickly flipped open the book, his eyes scanning over the pages, finally stopping at an illustration. The picture prominently displayed a vivid red stone, almost identical to the stone in front of him. Fu Changsheng carefully read the annotation below:

"The Flood Dragon injured, the stone dyed with its blood, nurtured over time would form a Flood Dragon Stone!"

"A sufficient amount of Flood Dragon Stones refined into the Lifebound Spiritual Artifact can enable it to manifest a Flood Dragon’s shadow, or at least raise the Lifebound Spiritual Artifact by one small grade."

A gleam of joy flashed in Fu Changsheng’s eyes, and he thought to himself:

"Is it really a Flood Dragon Stone?!"

As the name implies, a Flood Dragon Stone is formed from a stone stained by the blood of a Flood Dragon. This type of stone is extremely rare because Flood Dragons are Ancient Divine Beasts, and ordinary cultivators simply cannot access their blood. Moreover, the conditions for forming Flood Dragon Stones are extremely stringent, requiring the Flood Dragon to be injured, with its blood long permeating the stone, nourished by Spiritual Qi over countless years, to gradually form.

Fu Changsheng was ecstatic; if he could refine these Flood Dragon Stones into his Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp, then his Lifebound Spiritual Artifact could upgrade from Tier Three Low-Grade to Tier Three Middle-Grade.

This would undoubtedly be a significant boost to his combat power.

However.

After the joy.

Fu Changsheng frowned and said:

"Yaoyao, ask the Four-winged Red Python if there have been any High-Tier Demon Beasts returning to this place over time."

Yaoyao nodded.

After communicating with the Four-winged Red Python, she shook her head and said:

"Father, Little Red says that since it was born, no other creatures have appeared here."

That is to say.

The previous Flood Dragon was only here to heal its wounds.

In Fu Changsheng’s mind flashed the Southern Celestial Dragon Abyss he had passed through, and he quickly said:

"Yongyi, once the Spirit Stone Vein is surveyed, let the miners excavate the Spirit Stones as quickly as possible, to avoid long-term troubles."

"Yes, Father."

With the help of the Four-winged Red Python, the local guide, the pace of surveying the mine veins quickened significantly.

The Four-winged Red Python seemed extremely familiar with this area, moving freely within the caves, occasionally touching the stone walls with its body or sniffing the ground, as if guiding everyone to the richest spots of Spirit Stones.

As the survey deepened, everyone’s mood became increasingly excited.

Finally, the very excited Fu Yongyi, his face flushed red, ran all the way to Fu Changsheng and excitedly reported a number:

"Father, if this Spirit Stone Vein is fully mined, approximately two million Spirit Stones should be excavated!"

"Two million Spirit Stones?!"

Even Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but be moved.

This is a huge sum, and his mind quickly calculated the use of these Spirit Stones. Not only could it refill the Spirit Stones previously used to purchase the Celestial Dragon Warship, but it was also more than enough to upgrade the Spirit Vein in Yunshan County to Tier Three High-Grade. Thus, the second condition for advancing to a Seventh-Grade Noble Family would also be fulfilled. This is a great opportunity for the Fu Family.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes glowed with excitement, and he loudly said to Fu Yongyi, "Yongyi, have the miners speed up, and everyone will be rewarded afterwards."

"Yes, Father!" Fu Yongyi replied excitedly.

The excavated Spirit Stones were all gleaming, each piece emitting an alluring light.

Everyone was particularly energized, as if possessing endless strength.

Especially those Puppet Beasts, they labored tirelessly. Fu Changsheng’s twenty-four Daoist Soldiers also worked tirelessly day and night, rhythmically wielding their tools to extract one Spirit Stone after another from the mine walls. Additionally, the Spirit Beasts of the Spirit Beast Valley were a significant help; some aided in transporting Spirit Stones, while others maintained vigilance around the perimeter, ensuring the mining operations proceeded smoothly.

At this pace, the entire vein could be fully mined in about five years.

Fu Changsheng originally thought about sending the miners to Celestial South Mountain, board the Celestial Dragon Warship, and make a trip to Jingzhou, as there were also some matters there requiring his attention, and perhaps other opportunities awaiting him. However, now with these two million Spirit Stones right in front of him, he couldn’t afford any risks by leaving. So, he immediately decided to wait until the entire Spirit Stone Vein was excavated before departing.

He also intended to use this opportunity to perform sacrificial refinement of the Flood Dragon Stone into the Three-Transformation Treasure Lotus Lamp.

After finishing up the excavation of the Flood Dragon Stones, Fu Changsheng carefully stored them in a specially made storage bag. Then, he looked at Fu Yongyi and solemnly instructed:
