From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 231 - 226: Remnants of the Ore Vein

Waves tumbled, the vast sky stretched endlessly, and four Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood firm on the desolate island, their imposing pressure so dense it almost solidified the air.

"I’ll take action and kill all the Tai Cang Xu clan members."

Li Quanmo looked around, usually somewhat reticent, but he had been decisive in killing since his youth, rising up stepping on the corpses of Demon Beasts.

There were still many Spirit Islands and sea areas nearby that needed to be handed over; Li Jincheng and the others had only killed a portion of them.

The remaining Xu clan members, scattered and spread across surrounding Spirit Islands, were completely unaware of what had happened here.

What needed to be done now was to kill them all, to divert the attention of the Tai Cang Xu clan from this desolate island to the conflict between the two clans.

By the time they realized, the Li Family would have had plenty of time to mine spiritual ore and eventually offer it to the Shuihua Sword Sect.

"Go ahead, find any excuse, try to make a big fuss out of it. That way, we can also dispatch our people to secretly mine in this sea area, to divert attention."

Li Quanqing nodded in agreement with the approach and watched as Li Quanmo went off to slaughter.

"Three Supreme Elders, please follow me!"

Li Jincheng spoke solemnly, leading the way ahead, diving deep into the coral reefs below water, taking them to see the Spirit Stone Veins.

It had to be said that the scale of this Spirit Stone Mine was really huge, practically filling the deep interior of the entire desolate island, hidden underground for thousands of miles, secluded from prying eyes.

Right here at the coral reefs, there was a small vein sticking out, breaking the surface, very easy to mine, hence its discovery.

"These Tai Cang Xu clan cultivators do have some skill, managing to discover this Spirit Stone Vein."

Li Quanqing probed the surroundings with his Divine Sense, seeing the warm seawater where patches of corals grew like a wild and magnificent underwater forest, obscuring the view.

Had he not already known and carefully investigated with his Divine Sense, it would have been easy to overlook this place.

After all, this was just an extension of the real vein; the main body of the spiritual ore was buried deep beneath Volcano Island.

Thick crust blocked all auras, even several hundred miles apart, making the Spirit Energy on the island seem depleted.

"It’s because among those Xu clan guys, there was one who was well-versed in the Earth Master Inheritance, who used a secret talismanic treasure to find this place, only to be slain by my sword in the end."

Li Jincheng said, taking out a pitch-black ruler, which, as it approached the vein, surprisingly burst forth with spirit patterns from its surface.

"An Earth Master! Truly, a legacy that has produced a Golden Core True Master..."

Li Quanqing took the ruler, his eyes showing a trace of amazement.

This also belonged to one of the Cultivation Hundred Arts, capable of surveying the Dragon Qi in the earth’s veins, naturally adept at mining.

The most formidable among them could even use the grand mountain veins to set up earthshaking Killing Arrays, stealthily unleashing deathly force, shifting stars, altering fates, transforming the heavens and the earth.

They dug open the strata inside the coral reef and immediately saw a lustrous and dazzling vein, like a crystal dragon coiling endlessly, boundless and vast.

Unlike Spirit Veins naturally releasing Spiritual Energy, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi contained in the Spirit Stone Mine was extremely restrained, instead devouring the nearby Spiritual Energy.

Only like this, could such a miraculous substance as Spirit Stones be created.

"It really is a Spirit Stone Mine! Dig, everyone dig fiercely!"

Li Kunli’s eyes lit up, and his Mana surged forth, transforming into a massive hand covering the sky, snapping off a segment of the Spirit Stone Vein.

As the jade-like crystal walls shattered, raw Spirit Stones emerged, unpolished but still quite regular, their rough beauty even more evident.

It was truly the work of natural Heaven and Earth!

Everyone couldn’t wait to start digging, taking whatever they could, and through the Fish Mirror, they also notified the Old Clan Chief, asking him to send a large number of clanspeople to come seal off the area.

Li Quanqing took out the Hanhai Bowl, stretched out his hand to scoop, and retrieved the Jade Qilin Beast from inside.

"Yo yo!"

The Qilin Beast, carved like yellow jade, saw him and immediately called out affectionately, its four hooves treading on the seawater, somewhat uncomfortable with the marine environment.

It widened its eyes, surveying the vein beneath its feet, releasing strands of yellow haze from the gaps in its scale armor, seemingly resonating with it.

Shoo!!

Wrapped in yellow light, the next moment, the Jade Qilin Beast’s body merged directly into the veins, like a drop of water into the ocean, disappearing from sight.

Earth Escape Skill!

Li Kunli, witnessing this scene, immediately understood his intention: "Quanqing, are you planning to use the Earth Escape Skill to delve deep into the vein? Could there be any accidents?"

"No worries, with my strength, even if I get trapped there, I am confident that I can forcefully break through the earth vein and dig my way out."

Li Quanqing spoke, having the Talisman Treasure Fish-Dragon Spear, and he was indeed not very afraid.

"Yo yo!"

The Jade Qilin Beast raised its two front hooves and emitted a joyful neigh, with golden trails of yellow haze falling from its single horn, enveloping both man and beast.

The mellow yellow glow rippled like water waves, and Li Quanqing felt a darkness before his eyes, suddenly burrowing into the vein, drilling towards the deep interior of the island.

Their progress was not fast as the Jade Qilin Beast was just a Qi Refining Demon Beast, and it was somewhat straining to carry him.

Li Quanqing constantly gripped the Golden Core Talisman Treasure, and the Array Flags inside the Qiankun Bracelet were eager to move, ready to strike in an instant if anything was amiss.

Fortunately, the bloodline of the Jade Qilin Beast was extraordinary, and at critical moments it was quite reliable, successfully leading him deeper into the Volcano Island.

Thick mud churned, faintly emitting a dark red luster, and a wave of scorching aura hit his face, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur.

"That is... Mid Grade Spirit Stones!"

After quite some time, Li Quanqing’s Divine Sense finally saw a different scenery, which also meant they had come to the deep parts of the spiritual ore.

"Yo yo!"

The rock layers here were more solid, interspersed with Mid Grade Spirit Stones sparkling like stars.

Upon reaching this area, the Jade Qilin Beast was undoubtedly struggling, slowing its pace even further as it weaved slowly through the layers.

Soon, a pale red glow began to emerge from ahead, comprised of many Mid Grade Spirit Stones, but formed by an extremely pure Fire Attribute Essence Qi.

Fire Spirit Stones!

The fire-red earthly qi circulated, wandering within the vein like a rushing river, with the abundant Fire Attribute energy almost visible to the naked eye.

Li Quanqing was not too surprised; it was normal for this vein, extending deep into a volcano, to have Flame Spirit Stones.

Finally, with the beige light piercing through the crystalline layers, suddenly the ground beneath gave way, and they had arrived at an Underground Melt Cave.

Roar!

Endless streams of golden red lava flowed below, roaring past, intensely hot, emitting unparalleled light and heat.

Amidst this astonishing lava, the bones of an unknown Demon Beast bobbed up and down, its body sinuous, shaped like a Jiao Mang, its massive skeleton fiery red.

At the skull of this beast’s remains bloomed a pale red Spirit Flower, swaying in the fiery rain-like glow.

The Flame Essence was extremely abundant, with the haze swirling, forming into a palm-sized Red Crystal Stone.

Top Grade Fire Spirit Stone!
