Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 745: Spirit Essence (Part 2)

"No wonder it’s called a top-grade spiritual stone mine—the spiritual energy is so rich, it’s almost as good as a spiritual vein," Amalia said as she put the hundreds of top-grade spirit stones she had dug up into her spatial ring.

"But it’s still not as good as a spiritual vein," Kenny Lin replied while continuing to dig.

As they dug deeper, they encountered fewer dirt patches and more various types of ores, each with different levels of hardness.

If they had kept using shovels, it would have taken a long time to dig out even one spirit stone.

Amalia picked up a top-grade spirit stone and tossed it into her pocket.

The sleeping Wealth unconsciously hugged the stone and slowly began absorbing its energy.

Compared to when it was first absorbing energy in the spiritual vein, the speed had now slowed down.

A single top-grade spirit stone was enough for it to absorb energy for a long time.

It was likely that when it stopped absorbing spiritual energy, it would be close to waking up.

Amalia turned around and suddenly stepped on something under her foot, making a crunching sound.

It was a pile of transparent crystal shells.

These crystal shells were from top-grade spirit stones that had been completely drained of their spiritual energy, something that only Kenny Lin could do.

Amalia picked up the crystal shells and stored them in her spatial ring while warning him, "Don’t absorb any more of these spirit stones. If too many go missing, it might look suspicious."

"We’re the ones doing this, do we really need to worry about being monitored?" Kenny Lin replied dismissively, but he still obediently stopped absorbing the top-grade spirit stones.

"Just to be safe," Amalia said.

For a treasure as powerful as the Yin-Yang Pearl, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Kenny Lin struck the wall with his sword, and with a "ding" sound, it bounced off.

He couldn’t cut through the metal on the wall; instead, it lightly pushed his sword back.

Amalia pinched off a small piece with her hand.

It was a very dense metal.

Although this metal couldn’t store spiritual energy, it still had some energy seeping out, showing that the spiritual energy in this place was so rich that even the metal ore absorbed some of it.

"It looks like we’ve reached the very center of this top-grade spirit stone mine."

Amalia collected the metal.

This extremely dense metal could also be used for refining artifacts.

After removing the metal, they uncovered a large area of top-grade spirit stones, densely packed, and much more concentrated than in any other place.

The two of them dug out the top-grade spirit stones, revealing a stone the size of a fist.

It looked just like a regular top-grade spirit stone, and if you didn’t look closely, you might mistake it for one and just pick it up.

But Amalia felt there was something different about the energy inside this stone.

"Is this the Spirit Essence?"

Amalia’s expression changed slightly when she saw it.

Spirit Essence is a type of liquid treasure that looks a bit like a spiritual liquid but is actually very different.

Amalia quickly dug it out.

It was only the size of a fist, and when she held it, it felt no different from a regular top-grade spirit stone.

If you didn’t look closely, you might not even notice it was there.

Kenny Lin’s expression suddenly shifted.

"What’s wrong?" Amalia noticed.

Kenny Lin flipped his hand, revealing a wisp of black energy in his palm that was eagerly moving around, "It really wants this."

Amalia’s expression changed a bit, "What use does this black thing have for it?"

"Maybe it’s related to the Yin-Yang Pearl. The spirit essence from a top-grade spirit stone mine is a very powerful substance," Kenny Lin said casually.

Amalia handed him the spirit essence to him, "Then go ahead and absorb it. If you do, no one else can take it."

"Not saving it for Renshu Chang’s breakthrough?" Kenny Lin asked with a smile.

The spirit essence holds enormous energy.

If a cultivator is about to break through, consuming it can increase their chances of success.

The higher the quality, the greater the chance of a successful breakthrough.

Other factions were so eager to get this top-grade spirit stone mine largely because of the spirit essence.

"Renshu Chang has already gathered enough energy during the late stage of the Golden Core. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks through. Using spirit essence for that would be a waste. Even if you give it to him, he wouldn’t use it," Amalia could see what Renshu Chang was thinking without him even saying it.

Kenny Lin took the spirit essence in his hand, and the black energy in his palm immediately rushed into it.

The spirit essence quickly began to disappear, being swallowed by the black energy.

Then, the absorbed spirit essence flowed into the white side of the Yin-Yang Pearl.

For a moment, the black and white sides were balanced, and several cracks on the surface of the Yin-Yang Pearl visibly started to heal.

"How is it?" Amalia asked.

"It repaired a few cracks," Kenny Lin replied.

Amalia’s expression changed slightly, "Just one bit of spirit essence, and it repaired a few cracks?"

Kenny Lin nodded.

Amalia was puzzled, "Why is spirit essence more effective than a spiritual vein?"

Kenny Lin began, "I—"

"I get it now," Amalia interrupted, "Spirit Essence is the essence of an entire spiritual Stone mine, and since this is a top-grade spirit stone mine, the effect is even more powerful. If it were a lower-grade spiritual stone mine, the effect wouldn’t be as noticeable."

Kenny Lin, feeling a bit annoyed, said, "Weren’t you asking me?"

Amalia glanced at him, "Where did you get that sense of superiority?"

Kenny Lin replied confidently, "It’s your fiancé’s sense of superiority."

Amalia flicked a few stones on the ground toward him with the tip of her blade.
