From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 230 - 225: Spirit Stone Veins

On a desolate island, a Spirit Stone Vein was unearthed!

Li Quanqing was extremely surprised when he received this information through the Fish Mirror.

Spirit Stone Veins are absolutely strategic resources; every emergence of a Spirit Stone Mine is controlled by the Shuihua Sword Sect.

Therefore, in the entire sea domain, about eighty percent of the spirit stones circulating among cultivators come from the Sword Sect, the genuine mine owners.

Li Quanqing did not dare to delay, he hurriedly controlled his escaping light, flying deep towards the Ten Thousand Fish Pond to discuss the specifics with the Old Clan Chief.

Not just him, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Green Jade Li Family were alarmed, emerging from their secluded cultivation, their lights streaking across the sky like falling stars.

"Clan Chief..."

All gathered together, and the first thing upon arrival was to cast inquiring glances towards the Old Clan Chief.

Li Zongyao spoke directly and plainly, "Previously we promised the Taicang Xu Family dozens of desolate islands, including over a dozen First Rank Spirit Islands, right? During the handover, following routine exploration, they unexpectedly discovered a Spirit Stone Vein on a desolate island devoid of Spiritual Energy..."

"Hiss!!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present all gasped in shock, feeling regret, as they realized this discovery came too late.

After all, such desolate islands devoid of Spiritual Energy are commonplace in the sea domain, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

If it weren’t necessary, ordinarily no one would meticulously explore them, simply lacking the time and energy.

This time, it happened to be a coincidental part of the territorial exchange between the two families which led to the discovery.

Unfortunately, if the Green Jade Li Family could have discovered it earlier, kept it secret, perhaps they could have started mining stealthily.

"The ignorant clan members below, when they discovered this batch of Spirit Stone Veins, acted impulsively, and wiped out the Xu family’s clan members..."

The Old Clan Chief appeared quite helpless as he disclosed another piece of shocking information.

"Which young fellow did this? He really matches my temperament..."

Li Kunli couldn’t help but show a mixed expression of laughter and tears upon hearing this.

"It was Li Jincheng, that young fellow who led the team to divide this desolate island with the Xu family members; unexpectedly, it turned into this situation."

"Fortuitously, he also understood the severity and promptly used the Fish Mirror to report to me, so the Xu family might not have reacted yet."

Li Zongyao spoke solemnly, explaining the cause and effect.

Li Jincheng can be described as the first clan cultivator to become a Beast Tamer, carrying with him many powerful Spiritual Beasts with formidable combat power.

To have such achievements is not surprising.

"Clan leader, this Spirit Stone Vein... can we defend it?"

Everyone showed an immensely expectant look; this was a vein that could continuously be mined.

Even the smallest Spirit Stone Mine could yield over a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!

"Very difficult, after all, the Xu family has lost people, and they will definitely investigate thoroughly."

"When the Sword Sect comes to inquire, once they start probing, no matter how we argue, they could guess that something precious was unearthed on this island."

"Rather than that, we should take the initiative and offer this Spirit Stone Vein to the Shuihua Sword Sect to show our loyalty and moreover to foster closer ties with Nine Sword True Man."

Li Zongyao spoke gravely, his gaze drifting towards the heavens above, harboring the Secret Realm Gate, feeling considerable regret.

"If this vein could have been excavated earlier and fully developed by them, perhaps a Golden Core Spiritual Item could have been secured for Li Kunlun.

But now it’s too late to say anything.

"I’ve called you here to have you go to the vein ahead of time and take a look. If possible, try to use mana to dig out some, so even the Sword Sect can’t complain."

Li Zongyao waved his sleeves, revealing his plan.

Although this spirit stone mine is bound to fall into the hands of the Sword Sect sooner or later, it is an unspoken rule for the discovering clan to mine part of it.

After all, if you eat the meat, you should at least let your subordinates drink some soup.

If one is supremely domineering, leaving no leftovers behind, with no interwoven interests and exchanges, why would anyone sell their life for the Shuihua Sword Sect?

The situation was urgent. Li Quanqing, Li Kunli, Li Quanmo, and Quanyi, four Foundation Establishment cultivators, dared not delay and set out together, preparing to make their way to the vein.

With their Cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm, mining would naturally be more efficient than those Qi Refinement clansmen, equivalent to human mining machines.

"You all enter my Hanhai Bowl, I can control the flying artifact; it’s the fastest way and saves more time than if you all flew separately."

Li Quanqing spoke solemnly, taking out the Wind Thunder Wings. Purple and cyan colors flowed, with wind and thunder coiling around the wings, emitting bursts of roaring thunder.

Seeing this, Li Kunli and the others naturally had no objections and entered the Hanhai Bowl for a temporary rest.

Crackling!

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, Li Quanqing instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew out, his speed even more astonishing than thunder and lightning.

His figure tore through the long clouds in the sky, speeding towards the island where the incident occurred, the Heavenly Vault clear as jade, with the purple and cyan lightning whistling past, leaving a long trail in the sky.

By the time Li Quanqing arrived at the scene, it was just a quarter of an hour since the fight had ended.

Li Quanqing looked down and saw a barren island appear in his view, the soil displaying a blackish-red color, sparse vegetation, and looking quite desolate.

Indeed, parts of the island extended into the water, forming large patches of colorful coral reefs, quite beautiful.

"A magma island formed after a dead volcano’s eruption, rich in earth energy with a strong essence of fire; no wonder it could nurture a vein of spirit stones."

Li Quanqing opened his Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes and immediately saw a surge of red earth energy gushing out like a Flood Dragon rising into the sky, splitting the Cangqiong.

Clearly, this island hid a vast quantity of spirit stones, far more valuable than the previous Golden Marrow Jade Vein.

Unfortunately, he had not passed through this sea area before and could not discover it in time, missing this opportunity.

This desolate island was located on the edge of the Green Jade Sea Domain, merely over four thousand miles from Baqing Square, really quite close.

If the Taicang Xu Family hadn’t taken an interest in this area to establish a clan, perhaps this spirit stone mine would have never been discovered.

Such is the charm of the Cultivation World; perhaps just any barren island might hide a wealth of earth-shattering riches.

"Elder Quanqing, have only you come?"

From the sea below, a young man riding a flying Demon Beast soared into the Heavenly Vault, full of vigor, it was Li Jincheng.

His clothing bore dried bloodstains, but his expression was excited and thrilled, his body covered with fine spirit stone fragments.

Clearly, after killing the Xu Family cultivators, these clansmen actively engaged in mining, which was only natural.

"No, we all came."

Li Quanqing said, taking out the Hanhai Bowl, gave a flick of his wrist, and released the three Great Foundation Establishment Cultivators from inside.
