Free Web NovelChapter 200: Spirit Vein Transformation
The third level had also been completed with traces of habitation in four rooms.
Further down, everything from the blueprint had been fully constructed.
The mining puppets, now with nothing to do, had become servant puppets maintaining the stone halls.
So fast.
Xiao Shou had not expected everything in the blueprint to be completed so quickly.
However, the spiritual energy here was too thin.
Having grown accustomed to dense spiritual environments, especially after reaching Nascent Soul, Xiao Shou’s demand for spiritual energy had increased significantly.
Out in the world, he could endure it.
But at home, this level of thin spiritual energy was difficult to tolerate.
In reality, the spiritual energy inside the mountain was not weaker than an ordinary Nascent Soul cave dwelling.
It was just that Xiao Shou had become used to extremely rich environments, especially the even denser ancient spiritual energy in the secret realm.
Now, feeling the reduced spiritual density caused by the newly constructed buildings, he found it especially unacceptable.
Without hesitation, Xiao Shou said, "Earth Escape."
He immediately sank downward and drilling straight into the spirit stone vein.
When he reached the core of the vein, he saw the crystalline structure and top-grade spirit stones embedded within it.
On a sudden impulse, Xiao Shou took out more than a thousand low-grade spirit jades and placed them beside the top-grade spirit stones.
In an instant, the low-grade spirit jades and top-grade spirit stones fused together.
A strange wave of vibration spread out and Xiao Shou who was using earth escape was forcibly pushed out of the ground.
Back inside the mountain belly, even the interior began to show slight tremors.
At the center, the spirit spring started bubbling like it was boiling, releasing faint traces of a special spiritual energy.
"Master, you are back. I thought so. I just sensed your divine sense a moment ago."
Fu Young came down from the upper level and said happily when he saw Xiao Shou.
Then he noticed Xiao Shou’s serious expression and the abnormal changes in the mountain interior and spirit spring, and immediately asked, "Master, what happened?"
At that moment, Gou Guangming, Gou Zhi, Gou Heng, and Gou Yue rushed down as well.
"What is going on? Is it an earthquake?"
"No." Xiao Shou said innocently. "I just felt the spiritual energy was too thin when I came back, so I added some low-grade spirit jade into the spirit vein."
He looked at everyone with an innocent expression as if he had only tried to help but ended up causing trouble.
Gou Guangming immediately asked in shock, "Low-grade spirit jade? You mean the one from the Spirit Realm?"
"Yes." Xiao Shou nodded.
Gou Guangming’s face flushed slightly as his emotions became agitated. "How many pieces?"
"More than a thousand," Xiao Shou said while lightly tapping his chin as he recalled.
More than a thousand?
Gou Guangming felt like he was about to kneel on the spot.
Even his family ancestor only had two pieces of low-grade spirit jade and it was treated like priceless treasures and rarely used even for cultivation.
And this person had just casually thrown more than a thousand into a spirit vein.
Xiao Shou, what exactly are you?
Fu Young thought for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Xiao Shou’s expression and smiled.
"Master, there is no need to worry. As far as I know, a thousand low-grade spirit stones can give birth to a mid-grade spirit stone. A thousand mid-grade can produce a high-grade. A thousand high-grade can produce a top-grade. Then top-grade spirit stones gather spiritual energy and feed back into the vein over a long time, eventually forming spirit veins. By the same logic, these thousand low-grade spirit jades might have changed this spirit vein and caused it to evolve. It may not be a bad thing. So, do not make that expression."
"Really?"
Xiao Shou blinked his fox like eyes and looked at Fu Young with anticipation.
Fu Young only felt his breath tighten and his whole body began to grow hot.
That feeling he had tried hard to forget that day returned again and it seemed even more intense this time.
He forcefully nodded.
"Yes."
As if to confirm Fu Young’s words, the bubbling in the spirit spring grew more and more intense.
While they were still speaking, it completely began to boil.
Along with this boiling, a thick white mist-like spiritual energy surged upward and spread in all directions.
At the same time, from beneath their feet, the mountain rocks began to tremble continuously.
Large amounts of crystallized material were being forced out from within the stone, rising upward and displacing the original rock structure.
"It looks like Snowy Cave Mountain is going to undergo a major transformation. Let’s leave here first," Xiao Shou said.
In the original story, Xiao Ran had never done anything like this before, so no one knew what the consequences would be.
But just from the current situation of low-grade spirit jade merging with the spirit vein, it was obvious that enormous changes were happening.
It was just unclear whether those changes would be beneficial or harmful.
Everyone nodded and quickly moved out through the passage.
By now, Cao Xue and An Yu had also brought the children outside.
They were standing on wooden crane puppets in midair while observing the situation below.
At this moment, Fu Young suddenly said, "Master, do you have high-tier illusion formations and formations that can block spiritual energy leakage?"
"Tier 5 ones, is that enough?"
Xiao Shou did not think much and directly took out several newly fused Tier 5 illusion and isolation formation discs from his storage bracelet.
Because of his absolute trust in Fu Young, he handed them over immediately and then asked, "What is it for?" freeweɓnøvel.com
"Just in case," Fu Young replied.
After receiving the formation discs, he immediately began setting them up.
He expanded both the illusion formation and the isolation formation to their maximum range, covering an area of nearly a thousand kilometers around Snowy Cave Mountain.
