27: Small Spirit Stone Mine

“This time, I brought two good things for you; you’ll definitely like them.”

Lin Yucheng smiled, placing a Talisman and a purple jade fruit pit into Lin Yongmao’s hand.

These were precisely a Sword Talisman and a purple jade fruit pit.

Lin Yongmao used the Attribute Panel to understand the properties of these two items, but ultimately handed the Sword Talisman back to Lin Yucheng.

“Father, this item is more suitable for you. The Qingyang Mountain Range is full of dangers; who knows when a Second-Order Yao Beast might appear. It’s better for you to use it for self-defense.”

“But you also don’t have much ability to protect yourself…”

Han Yuying said, “Husband, you should take it! This is Yongmao’s kind intention. Besides, within the Family, aren’t I here? For our peace of mind, just take it!”

As they were all Family, there was no need for much refusal.

However, in Lin Yucheng’s heart, the desire to quickly advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage grew stronger.

His cultivation had already reached a Bottleneck, and his insights were sufficient. As long as he had a Foundation Establishment Pill, the probability of Foundation Establishment should be very high.

However, such a Pill was hard to come by!

If he had some fortuitous encounter in the Qingyang Mountain Range and obtained some rare resources, then exchanged them with the Qinglan Sect, he might be able to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Alternatively, he could provide enough resources to the Family, allowing the Family to use Cloud Mist Tea to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Only three days remained until Lin Yucheng left the Family to hunt Yao Beasts in the Qingyang Mountain Range.

Within these three days, Lin Yucheng had to recuperate and make ample preparations.

In fact, it wasn’t just Lin Yongmao’s Family like this; similar scenes were playing out in many other collateral families within the Lin Family.

As a large Family near the Qingyang Mountain Range, the Lin Family had a total of seventy to eighty Cultivators.

Seventy to eighty people represented many families.

If there were sufficient Cultivation resources, there would be no need to venture out, but for the Family to develop, someone had to go out and acquire Cultivation resources.

Moreover, because Cloud Mist Mountain, where the Lin Family was located, was close to the Qingyang Mountain Range, if the surrounding Yao Beasts were not cleared in time, they would eventually harm the Lin Family.

These past few days, Lin Yongmao would return home every day. Seeing Lin Yucheng’s injuries completely healed, he felt much more at ease.

He thought that his father wasn't going out to hunt Yao Beasts for the first time, and he also had a Sword Talisman for self-defense, so his safety should be greatly guaranteed.

Three days later, Lin Yucheng and several members of the Hunting Demon Team left the Lin Family amidst farewells from the crowd.

Lin Yongmao saw that Lin Yongrong had also set off with the Hunting Demon Team.

It turned out that Lin Yongrong had also joined the Hunting Demon Team, becoming an official member of the Hunting Demon Team.

“Given Father’s character, it’s impossible for him to eliminate Lin Yongrong during the Yao Beast hunt. What a pity.”

From the original body’s memories, Lin Yongmao could deduce Lin Yucheng’s character: he had a strong sense of responsibility and would do his utmost to protect every member of the Hunting Demon Team.

Lin Yongrong dared to join the Hunting Demon Team and follow Lin Yucheng to hunt Yao Beasts in the Qingyang Mountain Range precisely because he seized upon this point.

Lin Yucheng bid his final farewells to Han Yuying and their son.

“You two go back! Don’t worry about me; it’s not the first time I’ve gone out to hunt Yao Beasts. No matter what situation I encounter, I can handle it.”

Lin Yucheng spoke with confidence, his tone calm.

Lin Yongmao finally stuffed some Talismans into Lin Yucheng’s hand; most of the Talismans he had would not be used while he stayed within the Family.

Moreover, he also had the All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers Formation protecting him.

Lin Yucheng was not sentimental and collected all these Talismans one by one.

Han Yuying also gave Lin Yucheng some Medicinal Pills, which she had exchanged for with Family contribution points.

As the Lin Family’s only Second-Order Spiritual Planter, she had no shortage of contribution points.

Lin Yucheng also put the Medicinal Pills into his Storage Pouch.

Thousands of words were all mixed within a pair of warm eyes.

After bidding farewell to Lin Yucheng, who was leaving to hunt Yao Beasts, Lin Yongmao returned to Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

He didn’t plan to go out during this period and would peacefully Cultivate on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

His current main mission was still Cultivation; his cultivation had already reached Qi Refining Stage Level Six, and with the support of a large number of high-quality Medicinal Pills, his Cultivation speed was also extremely fast.

As for the side mission, that was naturally planting spiritual plants, and striving to become a Second-Order Spiritual Planter.

It’s worth mentioning that the purple jade fruit pit planted two days ago had already sprouted under the irrigation of spirit spring water.

With low-grade spirit soil as the soil, Low Grade spirit spring water irrigating it daily, plus the enhancement of Spirit Wood Art and Spirit Rain Technique, and the World Tree’s Law of Time influence…

It was difficult for any vibrant seed not to sprout.

However, it would still take a long time for the purple jade fruit to truly bear fruit.

Conservatively estimated, this time would be at least two to three years.

This time was actually very short, considering that the growth cycles of most spiritual plants in the Immortal Realm often spanned hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

…

Nearly thirty more days passed.

These thirty days were very peaceful, with no special circumstances occurring; Lin Yongmao hadn’t even left Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

During this period, only Han Yuying had visited him twice.

Each time, Lin Yongmao would give Han Yuying a large amount of spirit rice and some blood-stopping vine leaves for her to submit to the Family in exchange for contribution points.

“Today’s sign-in is another double critical hit; don’t disappoint me!”

After thirty consecutive days of signing in for [low-grade spirit spring water], Lin Yongmao had accumulated a lot, and this time he hoped for an even better item to appear.

Especially defensive Sharp Weapons like the All Grass and Trees Are Soldiers Formation; he would never have too many.

“System, I want to sign in!”

“Sign-in successful. Congratulations on obtaining [Small Spirit Stone Vein] one.

“What?”

“Spirit Stone Vein? Such a good thing?”

Lin Yongmao quickly claimed the reward from the sign-in, and following the System’s prompt, materialized it in a relatively open area on Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

Immediately, a mine shaft appeared on a small dirt hill.

This area was far from the spirit fields, so it could serve as a mining area.

The Small Spirit Stone Vein was not large, only about three square kilometers.

But this was a Spirit Stone Vein; even the entire Lin Family didn't possess such a vein.

[Small Spirit Stone Vein]:

Grade: Second-Order

Description: A mineral vein formed by the convergence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, producing a fixed amount of Spirit Stones. As long as there is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi replenishment, Spirit Stones can be excavated daily.

Current Production: Can produce 600 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and 3 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones per day.

(Note: Spirit Stone mining requires manual labor.)

As expected, the Spirit Stone Vein provided by the System was not a one-time consumable. As long as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was supplied, this vein could produce a fixed amount daily.

However, it required manual excavation and could not be mined with a single click from the System.

Lin Yongmao looked at the mine shaft with satisfaction and excitedly walked into it.

It seemed he would be playing the role of a miner today.
