From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 233 - 228: Heavy Water Spirit Liquid

Green Jade Li Family acted swiftly—within less than half a day, they dispatched a whole fleet, filled with relatives geared for mining.

A day later, the Taiyuan Situ Family finally caught wind of these operations, but it was all too late.

Centering around the Spirit Stone Mine, the Li Family fortified the nearby seas as impervious as an iron barrel—outsiders simply couldn’t detect what was happening inside.

Even if the Situ Family wanted to know what occurred, it was impossible. Every relative involved in the mining was strictly controlled, with no chance of leaking information.

During half a month’s time, although the Situ Family deployed Foundation Establishment Cultivators to try and see what was truly happening, they were inevitably repelled and achieved nothing.

This buffer period allowed the Li Family enough surplus time to mine at ease.

Fortunately, they didn’t push their actions to the extreme, merely excavating the easily accessible Spirit Stones before notifying Shuihua Sword Sect.

Although reluctant, watching hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones being given away, the Old Clan Chief had no choice but to bear the pain and inform the Sect.

The Elder who was notified was also chosen tactfully, ultimately, Old Clan Chief reached out to Elder Duan Dongyang of Shuihua Sword Sect.

Being the mentor of Quengeng and also an Elder very close to the Li Family, this provided a great opportunity for merit. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Upon hearing that the Li Family was offering up a Spirit Stone Vein, Duan Dongyang was overjoyed, and swiftly hastened over in the night.

Eventually, he and Old Clan Chief had a lengthy, enjoyable discussion.

Quanqing was uninterested in these matters, and even during the night of the negotiation, continued mining in the veins, seizing every minute.

"Almost enough..."

Deep inside the mining pits on Volcano Island, several Li Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators simultaneously stopped their work, exchanging meaningful glances while all wearing satisfied smiles on their faces.

After half a month of excavating, they almost obtained a shocking total of one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

This was no small number, enough to purchase several Foundation Establishment Pills, rivalling the wealth of a typical Foundation Establishment Family.

Continuing to mine might displease the Sword Sect, even with Duan Dongyang and internal maneuvering within the sect, it would still offend many.

"Supreme Elder, have we gone a bit too far this time?"

Even Li Jincheng, who was typically fearless, felt somewhat timid now.

He looked back at the empty area behind him, where everywhere was just debris of previous Spirit Stone Veins, wondering if the Sword Sect cultivators would feel heartbroken upon seeing this scene.

"It’s okay, I’ve thoroughly figured out the temperament of Nine Sword True Man. I believe his seniority will definitely be generous enough to forgive us."

Quanqing tossed a sparkling spirit stone in his hand, not too worried.

His last visit to Shuihua Sword Sect also allowed him to gauge the character of this Golden Core True Master.

Strong on the outside, weak on the inside.

Perhaps for the stability of the Sect, such freedom was tolerated, showing that Shuihua Sword Sect indeed faced both internal and external troubles, and urgently needed support from families like theirs.

Indeed, this turned out to be the case. When the Li Family members left and the Sword Sect took over the management of this Spirit Stone Mine, they discovered it had been extensively mined beforehand.

Within Shuihua Sword Sect, many Elders were dissatisfied with the Li Family’s actions.

During the era of Shuihua True Master, they dominated an expanse of tens of thousands of miles. Which family would dare act like this, mining a hundred thousand Spirit Stones before the formal surrender of veins!

However, these opposing voices were ultimately suppressed by Nine Sword True Man.

Although already a Core Formation Cultivator, his character was inherently conservative. Spending years in closed-door cultivation, he had almost lost the fiery ambition of youth.

He no longer wished to stir up more troubles; he only desired to safely get through this period. As long as the maritime area developed stably, he could tolerate actions from the families as long as they weren’t excessively presumptuous.

After all, the previous actions of the Taiyuan Situ Family were even more domineering than those of today’s Li Family, even daring to hide Spirit Stone Veins without reporting them.

But what of it?

The Situ Family was still annihilated. Throughout the ages, Shuihua Sword Sect remained under that eternal and unchanging blue sky of the Cultivation World.

This was the thought of Nine Sword True Man, still belonging to the old fellow’s thinking—always seeking stability.

Moreover, with Golden Core forces lurking around covetously, the Sword Sect could no longer afford a Great War and turmoil; otherwise, they might inadvertently draw a wolf into their den.

Thus, the matter of the Spirit Stone Veins was suppressed and did not cause much of a stir; the Green Jade Li Family, on the other hand, received great praise.

Li Quanqing and others returned fully loaded, reaping great rewards and smoothly returned to Qingyu Cave Heaven.

"Squeak!!"

Within the Hanhai Bowl, the massive skeleton of the Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon sprawled across the island, with a burning aura flowing, turning many plants to ashes.

The Dragon Flame Eagle circled excitedly above this skeleton, flapping its wings, wanting to devour it, yet it feared the lingering dragon might.

For Demon Beasts, the nobility of bloodlines is ingrained deep within their bones, extremely hard to overcome.

Seeing this, Li Quanqing made a direct move, digging out the heart of the Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon and handing it to the Dragon Sculpture to devour.

Crack!

The sharp beak of the Dragon Flame Eagle struck down, immediately tearing through the stony shell, revealing the dried-up flesh inside which was tougher than metal.

One bite at a time, the Sculpture swallowed the millstone-sized heart clean, and eventually, it truly squeezed out a few drops of essence blood, swallowing it all contentedly.

"Squeak!!"

After eating and drinking its fill, it let out a satisfied cry, flapped its wings, and returned to its volcanic nest, to comfortably refine and absorb.

Li Quanqing also came here, his mind stirred, and suddenly a fissure split open on Red Dragon Mountain, leading straight to the base of the mountain.

He took out a Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stone, ready to bury it here to improve the feng shui and gather the spirit veins.

As the Top-Grade Spirit Stone descended, the earth’s veins converged immediately, and the entire Red Dragon Mountain seemed to come alive, emitting a red glow.

The Dragon Flame Eagle first sensed this change, the entire mountain seemed to transform into an active volcano, about to erupt with scorching magma, radiating dazzling red twilight from inside the mountain.

Nourished by the spirit veins, the Spiritual Pond at the foot of the mountain also became full of Spiritual Energy, with Yang Flame Fish swimming around, sending out waves of satisfied thoughts.

Li Quanqing, having settled everything, then took the two Dragon Horns from the top of the Heavenly Fire Flood Dragon’s head, planning to give them to Ao Qing to refine the Flood Dragon Qi from them.

With such a massive skeleton, he had not yet decided how to deal with it; making it into a Puppet would be good, turning it into Bone Powder Bait works too, or even burying it in the earth’s veins to nourish.

Li Quanqing walked around Fish-Dragon Island, feeding many Spiritual Beasts, and unexpectedly discovered quite a few surprises.

In a valley full of poisonous flowers and herbs, several Purple Crystal Flying Sky Scorpions flitted through the air, each the size of a palm, their bodies glowing purple, radiating a crystal sheen.

Clearly, these poisonous scorpions had all successively entered the Qi Refinement Realm, with light groups shining above their heads, which were quite dazzling for a moment.

[Hundred Herbs Scripture: Qi Refinement-level Wood Attribute Cultivation Method, capable of absorbing the essence of hundreds of herbs for cultivation, reaching profound levels, impervious to hundreds of poisons.]

Li Quanqing held these light groups in his hands, besides extracting dozens of Detoxification Pills, there was only one Wood Attribute Cultivation Method.

It was somewhat satisfactory.

Li Quanqing soothed this group of Purple Crystal Scorpions and then left the area, departing from the Hanhai Bowl.

Time once again flowed slowly, and several months passed; the Canghai Whale finally did itself proud, successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
