Ch92 - Digging Spirit Stones

When Jiang Xu returned to Liu Mufeng’s side, he saw Xiaoyuan’s body had swelled from the size of a quail egg to the size of two fists, after devouring those white bugs. And the trace of the Alpha wolf had long since disappeared from the ground.

After eating the parasitic seeds, Xiaoyan’s strength had obviously improved tremendously. She also showed a hint that she might soon advance to four stars. Jiang Xu looked depressed. “Xiaoyuan, you are too unkind, aren’t you? We killed this wolf together! You’ve eaten it all up, and you didn’t even leave me a piece of meat. You’re too vicious, aren’t you?”

“Buzz…” “It’s not that I’m stingy, but that the wolf meat has been plundered by parasites, and you can’t eat it even if it is left for you. If you have a lot of bugs growing in your body, my master will dump you.”Xiaoyan rolled her small eyes at Jiang Xu.

“What did she say?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu asked suspiciously.

“She said the wolf’s meat was ridden with parasites. So the worms would grow in our body if we eat the wolf meat.”

“Oh, then I don’t want it anymore!” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu glanced at Xiaoyuan on Liu Mufeng’s shoulder. He would rather not eat the meat of a wolf if it meant he would get infected by worms.

“Let’s go to the mountain to see.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu left with Liu Mufeng.

When they arrived at the mountain where the red wolves lived, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu quickly found their cave.

“Mufeng, do you feel that the spiritual energy here is very rich?” As soon as he walked into this cave, Jiang Xu felt that the spiritual energy in this cave was unusually rich, much more abundant than other places in the secret realm.

“It’s a spiritual vein. There must be a spirit stone mineral vein under the ground.” After feeling the spiritual energy in the cave, Liu Mufeng said with certainty.

“Then let’s blow up this cave and try to dig it. Maybe we can dig up the spirit stones?” Jiang Xu suggested.

“There is no hurry, let’s take a rest here for now. Tomorrow, we will set up a few trap arrays on the periphery of this mountain. Let Xiaoyuan take the swarm to guard outside, and we will dig the spirit stones, which will be safer for us.” Liu Mufeng said and thought to himself,‘I don’t want the spirit stones to be dug up, and the others will run over to get a portion of it.’

On the third day, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng began to study mining. The mountain here was not too high, only five or six meters tall. Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng studied it for a while. Then, they used the magic talismans and their own spiritual power to directly blow up parts of the mountain from top to bottom. Next, Jiang Xu would put a barrier and again blasted every location. After blowing up the whole mountain, the two started the long and tiring clean-up work, transporting the useless gravel to the foot of the mountain for stacking and then carrying out the second blasting.

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu considered the cave where the red wolf lived as the center point and blew into the ground more than ten meters deep. Then, Jiang Xu flew into the pothole and found many spirit stones.

“Mufeng, look at this, this is not the same as the spirit stones we used, but I can feel a powerful aura.” Jiang Xu asked suspiciously after taking a blue stone.

Liu Mufeng took the stone and checked it. “This is a mid-grade spirit stone. It’s different from the spirit stone we use.”

“Mid-grade spirit stone?” Jiang Xu raised his brows in confusion, not quite understanding what that meant.

“XiaoXu, in fact, the Lingwu Continent where we are located, is the continent that has the lowest level among all the cultivation continents. The cultivation continent is divided into high-level, middle, and lower-level continents. We are natives of the lower-level continents. For the cultivators in the mainland, we are the wild cultivators in the wild land.” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng explained.

“En, I know this. My father told me that our continent is inferior when compared to the rest. It doesn’t have as many resources as those high-level continents.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Yes, the continents are graded, similarly spirit stones are also graded. The green spirit stones used in our lower continents are the lowest grade spirit stones. And this blue spirit stone is a mid-grade spirit stone. These Spirit stones are the common currency of the Mid-level Continent. There were no ordinary people in the Mid-level Continent, so the common currency used by the cultivators is this type of Mid-grade Spirit Stone. Like those low-grade spirit stones in our hands, they are not uncommonly used. And in the High-level Continent, the high-grade spirit stone is used as the common currency, and the grade is much higher than that of the mid-grade spirit stone.” Liu Mufeng explained patiently.

“Oh, I get it now. Well, this mid-grade spirit stone is much stronger than the low-grade spirit stone we use. The lives of people in the mid-level continent are really good, and mid-grade spirit stones can be used as an everyday currency.” Jiang Xu said enviously.

“You have to remember that a mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to a 100 low-grade spirit stones. A high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. So if we go to the mid-level continent or the high-level continent in the future, use this conversion rule to do business with others.” Liu Mufeng explained the details carefully.

“Oh, a high-grade spirit stone is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and a mid-grade spirit stone is a 100 low-grade spirit stones. I will take note of that. Mufeng, you know a lot. There is nothing in this world that you don’t know.” Jiang Xu exclaimed with a look of admiration.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “It’s nothing. I’ve read some books on geography, and the books mentioned some things about the middle and higher continents. So, I learned a little bit.”

“You’re amazing. You can remember it after reading it once. I don’t think I can remember it even after reading it a hundred times.” Jiang Xu smiled when he said this. The last thing he liked to do was to read. When he was a child, his aunt asked him to learn the three obediences and four virtues from the sister in the hall. As a result, as soon as he picked up the book, he fell asleep without even looking at it. If it was Mufeng, it was estimated that he would remember it thoroughly after reading it once and understand everything that was written on it. He must be better than Jiang Min.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “You don’t need to be able to read. Am I not here to help you read?”

Hearing this, Jiang Xu was also happy. “Yeah, you are my Mufeng. You can do everything, then I don’t need to learn. I just need to practice swordsmanship well and protect you.”

“Yeah.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng lovingly kissed his beloved’s face.

“Mufeng, there are a lot of spirit stones in the underground hole below. It seems that it can’t be blown up anymore. If you blow up the hole, it will easily collapse, and the spirit stones will also be shattered.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu frowned.

“Then it can only be mined.” Liu Mufeng took out a bunch of strange-shaped instruments and summoned Xiaoyuan. “Go back to cultivate and spit out two shovels forXiaoXu and me.”

“Master, what does a shovel look like?” Xiaoyuan asked.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng sighed softly, picked up a branch, and drew the shape of a shovel on the ground.

Xiaoyuan flew over and had a look before immediately summoning other Golden Insects to come over and began to return the magic tools Liu Mufeng needed to make shovels.

An hour later…

Looking at the twenty odd-shaped shovels on the ground, Liu Mufeng supported his forehead. “This, does this work?”

“Forget about the shape, Mufeng. Having a shovel is better than digging with our hands and digging with spiritual power. Don’t be so picky.” Jiang Xu reluctantly comforted him with a smile. He knew that Xiaoyuan was not satisfied. Therefore, he did not dare to hold out much hope. Sure enough, he was right.

“Oh, what else is there to be? Something is better than nothing.” With a sigh, Liu Mufeng looked at his pet. “Xiaoyuan, starting today, the Wood Spirit Insects will continue to stay in the bracelet dimension to take care of the spiritual plants. The other spirit insects will be divided into two groups. One group will helpXiaoXu and me dig the spirit stones, and the other wave will go around the mountain to patrol. If you encounter other demon beasts and cultivators, please notify me as soon as possible.”

“I understand, Master. I will dig the spirit stones with you and the Golden Insects and let the Water Insects, Fire Insects and Earth Insects go outside to watch.”

“Okay, you can arrange it!” Liu Mufeng expressed no opinion.

“Mufeng, let’s go down!” After choosing among twenty shovels for a long time, Jiang Xu finally found a barely usable shovel.

“En!” Liu Mufeng also chose a shovel and put away the other shovels.

Jiang Xu hugged Liu Mufeng’s waist and flew into the hole with Liu Mufeng. It was pitch black in the cave, but fortunately, Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng were powerful, and they could still see clearly even in the dark.

“After we dig up here, you can take me to fly around a few more laps.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng smiled. Being held by his wife and flying, this feeling is not bad.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu smiled helplessly. “I have advanced to the Spiritual Master Realm for more than half a year. You’re not in a hurry to advance at all. Don’t you want to catch up with me?”

Liu Mufeng smiled wryly. “Don’t worry, it feels good to have you to protect me. Besides, my strength is not too stable. Once I fail to go through seclusion, it will be even more difficult to advance to the Spiritual Master Realm next time.”

In fact, after getting the Golden Jade Lotus, Liu Mufeng could take the Golden Jade Pill and Golden Sun Pill to try to advance to the Spiritual Master Realm. However, Liu Mufeng felt that the time was not ripe enough. At fifteen,XiaoXu became the Nine Star of the Spiritual Mortal Realm after refining the beast fire. From fifteen to nineteen, his strength accumulated for four years. Plus, with the help of Golden Sun Pill and Golden Sun Fruit, advancing to the Spiritual Master Realm was a matter of course. There was nothing to worry about. However, his situation was different. He was promoted to the Spiritual Mortal Realm because of his beast pet. Moreover, his strength to the Nine Stars had only improved for more than half a year, and it was not stable enough. Therefore, even if there were resources in hand to advance, Liu Mufeng was not too anxious.

“Well, that’s true. Of course, you should stabilize your current strength first.” After thinking about it, Jiang Xu felt that his lover’s concerns were justified.
