Born with immortal seed

Chapter 357 Large Spirit Stone Vein
Back then, when the Blood God True Lord returned to the Liang Kingdom, Fang Tiansheng took the initiative to surrender to him in order to avoid the disaster of his sect's destruction.

Originally an enemy sect, their sudden change of allegiance naturally leads to a lack of trust.

Not long after, Blood God True Monarch presented Fang Tiansheng with evidence collected by his disciples that Black Wind True Man harbored resentment towards the Blood Demon Sect, leaving him to handle it himself.

Fang Tiansheng returned to the sect and summoned all the Core Formation True Persons to discuss a solution. He proposed expelling the man from the sect to save Black Wind True Person while giving Blood God True Monarch an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the usually peaceful and carefree Black Wind Master burst into tears in the main hall, saying that he would rather die for the safety of the sect than leave the sect and live a wretched life.

"I'd rather die as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect than live as a rootless duckweed!"

Before his fellow disciples could react, Master Black Wind shattered their dantian with a single palm strike, ruptured their heart meridians, and died in the main hall.

Fang Tiansheng pounded his chest and wept bitterly, tears streaming down his face.

Every Core Formation cultivator in the Myriad Beasts Sect was nurtured and raised by him; though nominally fellow disciples, they were in reality master and apprentice.

After the initial grief, he severed Black Wind True Man's head in exchange for Blood God True Lord's basic trust.

Subsequently, he led a large number of disciples to participate in the sect war, while the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect closed its mountains to visitors and stopped interacting with the outside world.

For decades, Fang Tiansheng buried his hatred deep in his heart, truly regarding the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect as a vassal force of the Blood Demon Sect, acting as its henchman.

The plan was finally successful, luring Blood God True Lord into a trap from which he could not escape.

"I am incompetent. If I had the talent of Ge Cang, I wouldn't have lost the lives of Junior Brother Black Wind and thousands of disciples..."

Fang Tiansheng's eyes were filled with indescribable sorrow. If he was confident that he could become a Nascent Soul True Monarch within a few decades, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would have a lot of room to maneuver.

It shouldn't have come at such a terrible price: Black Wind Master committed suicide, and thousands of elite disciples died in a meaningless sect war.

At the same time, in pursuit of the Five Crystal Divine Iron, they embarked on a pirate ship, sinking deeper and deeper into trouble.

"Senior brother, don't blame yourself. This is all the evil consequence of the Blood Demon Sect's actions!"

Master Huoya glanced at the underground tomb and still felt a lingering fear.

"Wouldn't the Blood God True Monarch come out again? If he sees that all his disciples are dead, he'll probably storm Mount Ten Thousand Beasts immediately."

"This demon is incredibly powerful and possesses extraordinary treasures... The Blood God True Monarch, after refining the Blood River, is indeed very difficult to kill, but escaping will not be so easy either."

Ignoring the entanglement of demonic energy and blood river in the tomb, Fang Tiansheng directly issued orders.

"He wants to go further, and swallowing a Nascent Soul True Monarch is the only way. He will definitely have to go all out... Leave a team of disciples to keep an eye on the changes in the tomb, and the rest of you should wipe out the Blood Demon Sect as quickly as possible and take all the spoils of war back to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain."

"Once the Blood Demon Sect falls, the Myriad Beasts Sect will inevitably become the target of everyone's hatred. Too many cultivators from various sects have died at our hands, and there is no way to resolve the enmity."

Fang Tiansheng put his hand to his forehead, and his imposing aura, which had been as powerful as a mountain-moving and cauldron-lifting machine, collapsed instantly. He felt much more relaxed as if a heavy burden that had been weighing on his back for many years had been lifted off his shoulders.

"The wealth accumulated by so many destroyed sects is enough to support our sect in seclusion for a hundred years... I am going to find Ge Cang, hoping that he can help us out of consideration for the past. Otherwise, if we are surrounded by the Demon Extermination Alliance, our sect will really be trapped and unable to come out."

After giving their instructions, the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect split into two groups, each summoning flying magical artifacts or riding spirit beasts, their dark forms obscuring the sky.

In the underground tomb, blood sometimes surged and demonic energy sometimes surged.

Overall, the mysterious cultivator who manifested the enormous demonic shadow still had the upper hand.

……

"It seems that in a few more months, the Flaming Mountain Dojo will take shape, and Senior Brother Ge and I can officially move in."

After Bai Zichen emerged from seclusion, he discovered that the original nest where the Azure Phoenix had lived had been almost completely renovated.

The next step is to build a sacred site in the crater, and at the same time, to open up a row of cave dwellings halfway up the mountain.

When the disciples along the way saw the White Ancestor, they all knelt down and paid their respects with great ceremony.

Bai Zichen scanned the area with his divine sense and saw that Zhou Suqing did not seem to be on Flame Mountain, so he decided to return to Thunder Cliff.

I'll bless the Bai clan members with the aura of the sacred beast once more, and then see if any new spirit bamboo has mutated and upgraded, becoming Thunder Sound Bamboo.

After flying out of the Flaming Mountain on his sword for hundreds of miles, he suddenly had a sudden inspiration and took a long detour to the active volcano that he had explored during his Foundation Establishment stage.

In an instant, the moonlight fell on the top of the volcano, just like when I first came here.

"The toxic fumes here are too strong. Otherwise, it would be quite suitable to build a branch academy here... At least it could solve the problem of the fire in the weapon refining hall. With so much ore and no shortage of smelting fire sources, it is simply a chosen place for weapon refining."

Bai Zichen strolled through the toxic fumes filled with the pungent smell of sulfur. Even demonic beasts were rarely seen. Under the sweep of his powerful divine sense, he could only see a few fire centipedes and fire scorpions living tenaciously in the crevices of the rocks.

Upon arriving at the crater, I subconsciously compared it to my own spiritual home on Flaming Mountain.

"It's all lava, but the lava on Flaming Mountain looks terrifying. Could it really just be due to the grade of the spiritual veins...?"

He plunged his hand directly into the magma, and with a hiss, a plume of white smoke rose up.

A few breaths later, it was retrieved intact, with a few drops of lava still falling from its fingertips, instantly solidifying into reddish-brown lava upon hitting the ground.

Ordinary cultivators would have long since had their flesh and blood dissolved, leaving only a skeletal hand.

Even a body-refining cultivator couldn't be as nonchalant as him.

Besides the powerful physical body brought by his Five Crystal Glass Body, it is also related to his great resistance to fire.

He could either enter directly or transform into a fire dragon, but considering that his Taoist robe was impervious to water and fire, it could only block ordinary fire.

Deep within the magma, the temperature continues to rise, and there are already signs of toxic fire from the Earth's core.

Even the finest robes cannot withstand such scorching; they will be completely ruined once they return to shore.

Thinking of this, the colorful ribbon on his wrist transformed into a crimson light that flowed around his body before leaping into the molten lava.

After absorbing the essence of the Azure Phoenix and having its restrictions lifted, the Rainbow Feather Robe has become a top-grade magic weapon.

Protecting him as he moved through the volcanic lava was effortless.

After descending several hundred feet, they sensed huge black shadows that remained motionless in place.

Only when they encounter magma erupting from the Earth's core will these dark figures be propelled upwards and tumble a few times.

"When the volcano erupts, the top layer of ore will be carried out by the lava, which is the origin of various subterranean minerals... This process may take hundreds or thousands of years without human intervention, so since we have come across it, we should take it."

Back then, in the magma, Bai Zichen didn't dare to spread his divine sense even a little bit.

I tried it, and the moment my consciousness touched the molten lava, it felt like my sea of ​​consciousness was being directly burned by a ball of heavenly fire, and I almost fainted from the pain.

Now, his divine sense was many times stronger than before, and with a quick scan, he discovered that these huge black shadows were Crimson Fire Yuan Copper.

However, since they were all the size of pavilions, even storing them in high-grade storage bags would be very troublesome.

With a spit, a beam of moonlight sword energy flew out, circling the Crimson Fire Bronze several times.

The Crimson Fire Copper, which had withstood the molten lava for thousands of years, cracked into hundreds of pieces. Impurities dissolved, and the remaining ore emitted a red glow that could not be ignored even in the magma.

The sword threads surged, then transformed into a ray of moonlight, drawing all the crimson fire copper back.

Following the same method, they collected at least tens of thousands of kilograms of refined red-fire copper.

This material, being a low-grade third-tier spiritual material, is only moderately effective at crafting magical treasures, but it is more than sufficient for refining top-grade spiritual artifacts.

If I remember correctly, there are two top-grade spiritual artifacts in the Refining Hall whose main material for refining is Crimson Fire Yuan Copper.

The amount he harvested was enough to forge three top-grade spiritual artifacts for every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Qingfeng Sect, with some left over.

When it descended to 800 feet, the pressure around it suddenly increased, and it entered a narrow passage.

The magma here has been compressed into a near-solid state, and each step forward consumes a large amount of true energy.

Amidst the crimson glow and colorful clouds, a ray of moonlight appeared before Bai Zichen, allowing him to regain his footing.

The passage was only a few dozen feet long, but it took him almost an hour to pass through with difficulty. Suddenly, he felt light and entered a completely new space.

"It's not the Earth's core, it's just the bottom of a normal volcano... No, the spiritual energy here is almost as good as that of the Flaming Mountain, it's just a hair's breadth away from becoming a fourth-tier spiritual land."

Before my eyes stretched a fiery red world, with rivers of molten lava flowing beneath, the earth's core ablaze with toxic fire, a world devoid of life.

The top is covered with red crystals, densely packed and distributed in bands, which is the source of the amazing spiritual energy.

"A spirit stone vein... at least medium-sized, and most likely even a large-scale vein!"

Bai Zichen finally understood where that top-grade fire-element spirit stone came from.

Beneath this volcano lies a vein of spirit stones, but because of the molten lava, even the divine sense of a Core Formation cultivator cannot penetrate it, and it has remained undiscovered until now.

"Even if there are cultivators hiding here, no one would find them. Even Gun Gun didn't sense the existence of the spirit stone vein last time... But he wasn't grown up then. Now he's a mid-grade second-tier spirit beast, so he might be able to smell the spirit stones."

Bai Zichen forcefully broke off a piece of unpolished raw spirit stone, which actually met the standard of a mid-grade spirit stone.

"The ratio of low-grade spirit stones to mid-grade spirit stones is basically one to one. The value of the spirit stones that can be developed from this spirit stone vein may be higher than I imagined... It may not even be as good as the spirit stone vein with the largest output that was seized from the Ghost Spirit Sect."

Hejian County has many spirit stone mines. When Qingfeng Sect took over the territory of Guiling Sect, there were six spirit stone mines of various sizes that were operating normally.

In the past, the spirit stone veins discovered in the Black Mountain were mostly micro or small veins.

This led to the saying that the Black Mountain region was poor in produce and not as fertile as the Hejian County, a place known for its abundant resources.

"It turns out there were spirit stone veins, but they were hidden so well that they went undiscovered. How to mine them in this kind of place is a real problem..."

As Bai Zichen pondered how to arrange for his disciples to enter the bottom of the volcano, alarm bells rang in his mind, and the Moonlight Sword flashed, stabbing towards his back.

The previously empty air suddenly trembled, and a sharp claw was striking towards the back of his head.

When the sword clashed with the Moonlit Whirlwind Sword, sparks flew everywhere, deflecting the claws away.

It was a fire demon about ten feet tall, with a body size somewhat similar to a human, and its body was covered with brown fur.

Having failed in its sneak attack, the Fire Demon cried out in pain, clutched its claws, took a step back, and gradually disappeared from sight.

Not only did it disappear to the naked eye, but even after scanning the entire area with divine sense, no trace of the Fire Demon could be found; not even a trace of its aura remained.
