Cultivation of Immortality: Start by Improving Spiritual Root Qualifications

Chapter 618: Brother Zhou is truly a lucky star!

I saw that the passage in front suddenly expanded several times and was several meters in size.

The stone walls around the passage were dotted with little blue-purple crystals. The whole thing was blue-purple and emitted a faint glow.
"This is the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold Mine!"

Master Xuan Lei, who was walking in front, was the first to discover it and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Xun and his companions were overjoyed when they heard this. They hurried over and checked carefully.
"Yes, it is indeed Thunder Yuan Purple Gold!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is truly a lucky star!" True Lord Xuanchen praised greatly!
Thunder Yuan Purple Gold is a rare material with thunder attribute. It is of the fourth-grade intermediate level and can be used to refine high-grade magic weapons with thunder attribute. It is extremely valuable.

It is not inferior to the two Mysterious Thunder Crystals that Zhou Xun bought in Wuliu Pavilion that year.

"The marks on the stone walls around this passage seem to be made by some kind of monster. Could it be the Thunder Centipede?" Master Leiyu looked carefully and couldn't help but guess.

"That's what I expected!"

"That Thunder Centipede is extremely powerful, and has a very strong Thunder Yuan essence. Now it seems that it was absorbed from this Thunder Yuan Purple Gold Mine!"

"Look at this passage that has expanded several times. I wonder how much Thunder Yuan Purple Gold has been consumed by it!" Master Hongchuan touched the mark on the stone wall and couldn't help revealing a painful expression.

Now that he has found this place, he naturally regards it as his own.

"There is no time to lose. We should mine as quickly as possible. Judging from the amount of Thunder Yuan Purple Gold embedded in the stone wall, it is not small."

"If we can mine all of it, even if there is nothing else to gain later, it will be worth the trip!"

Master Xuanchen's eyes lit up, and as he spoke, he took out a short knife from his storage bag and used it to dig at the purple gold of thunder element on the stone wall!

"Ding!"

A crisp sound was heard, and then a piece of purple gold the size of a grain of rice appeared in his hand.

Then Master Xuanchen pointed his finger and a beam of spiritual light shot up.
"Fuck-"

Then an arc of lightning was reflected out!

"It is indeed Thunder Yuan Purple Gold, and the quality is also extremely good. Brother Zhou's divination skills are indeed well-deserved."

"Since we have confirmed that this is the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold Mine, the next issue is the distribution. I suggest staying here for three days to mine the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold."

"After three days, all the mined Thunder Yuan Purple Gold will be gathered together and divided into five equal portions. Each person will take one portion."

"However, we are able to have this good fortune, all thanks to Brother Zhou, I have to repay you."

"After we share the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold, each of us will give a portion as a reward. What do you think?"

Master Xuan Lei said with a smile.

"How dare I? We are all treasure hunting together, so we should divide it equally. If you want me to take more, I really can't accept it!" Zhou Xun waved his hand to refuse.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, there is no need to refuse. We can have such a harvest thanks to your divination skills. There is no need to refuse!" Thunder Prison Master also persuaded.

"That's right. From now on, if any of the five of us have such merits, we will just follow this example!" Master Hongchuan added with a smile.

"No, no, if that's the case, without the invitation of Lord Leiyu, we would not be able to enter this place, let alone obtain the treasure!"

"Speaking of merit, Fellow Daoist Lin is the one who has made the greatest contribution. Therefore, I, Zhou, would never dare to take the reward!" Zhou Xun still refused.

Five people are searching for treasure, and he alone takes the lion's share. Wouldn't that put him at odds with everyone else? He would never be so unwise.

"If that's the case, then let's divide it equally!" Master Xuan Lei's eyes gleamed with brilliance, but he didn't dare to persuade her. He pointed at the stone wall in front of him and continued:
"There is no time to lose, everyone, get started!"

After saying this, he made a gesture with one hand and pointed towards himself.
Lightning flashed, and the black thunder armor instantly covered the whole body.
With a wave of his hand, a foot-long illusory lightning sword condensed, and then he aimed it at the lightning element purple gold in front of him and dug it down.
The next moment, a soybean-sized piece of purple gold appeared in the palm of his hand.

On the other side, Zhou Xun took out the Xuanting Thunder Sword, slowly injected mana into it, and fiercely stabbed the stone wall in front of him.
The rest of the Thunder Prison Masters and others also used their own methods to start digging.

Just like this, two days passed in a flash.

Each of the five people occupied a position and dug more than several feet inside!

Zhou Xun held the Xuan Ting Thunder Sword in his hand. When he saw the purple gold of thunder origin appear, he stabbed forward with the sword, and then cut it off, and the purple gold of thunder origin fell into his hand.

Suddenly, Zhou Xun dug a large piece of rock, revealing a thumb-sized piece of Thunder Yuan purple gold that was shining with purple light.
I couldn't help but feel happy.
"Good luck!"

After saying that, he thrust his sword forward.
"Ding--"

"It seems that I have hit the Thunder Yuan Purple Gold!" Zhou Xun smiled lightly.
However, the next moment, a lightning arc bounced back from the lightning sword, causing half of his body to freeze.
"Thunder Yuan Purple Gold?"

"No. Even though Thunder Yuan Purple Gold is extremely hard, there is no such thing as lightning that can bounce back!" Zhou Xun's heart trembled.
It immediately returned to normal.
He gently dug out the thumb-sized piece of purple gold, and then changed the direction of digging, as if nothing had happened just now.

In this way, the third day passed quickly.

Zhou Xun and the others gathered together and began to distribute the gold. After a few days of mining, everyone had stored a lot of Thunder Yuan Purple Gold.
"I didn't expect that three days would pass so quickly!" Master Xuanchen sighed, looking extremely reluctant.

During this period, they widened this section of the mine by more than several feet, but the Leiyuan purple gold mine showed no sign of drying up.

Unfortunately, they couldn't stay in the Leiyuan Purple Gold Mine all the time, so they had to stop first.

"If this treasure mine appeared in Zhongzhou, I would never leave until it was fully mined!" said Master Hongchuan with emotion.

"If such a treasure land appeared in Zhongzhou, I'm afraid it wouldn't be my turn to wait!" Xuanchen Zhenjun said slowly.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come and see how much we have gained this time!" Master Xuan Lei interrupted everyone's sighs and patted his storage bag.

A foot-long wooden box appeared in front of him, filled with Thunder Yuan purple gold of various sizes, some as small as rice grains and some as large as pigeon eggs.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun and others also took out all their gains.

The combined harvest of the five people was a full sixteen pounds, one ounce and two cents!
You know, this Thunder Yuan Purple Gold is no less valuable than the Mysterious Thunder Crystal, and each ounce is worth a million Spirit Stones.

What's more, it weighs more than ten kilograms.

Each person can get more than three kilograms, which is equivalent to a top-grade defensive magic weapon in terms of value.

"Sixteen catties is one ounce and two cents. Why don't we each take three catties, and the rest will all be kept by Brother Zhou!"

Xuan Lei Zhenjun took a glance and suggested that in this way, each person would take out three taels, almost one-tenth of the share, as a reward.
"Yes, Brother Zhou has made a great contribution to this achievement!" Lord Leiyu also agreed.

Seeing the two True Lords nod, True Lord Xuanchen and True Lord Hongchuan looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

"No, Thunder Yuan Purple Gold is so precious. If you want me to accept it, I can. Please accept these four top-grade spirit stones!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xun took out four spirit stones and handed them to everyone.
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhou insists, we will accept it!" True Lord Xuan Lei nodded and took the spirit stone with a smile.
The same goes for the rest of the people.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun put the remaining four pounds and one ounce of two thousand Thunder Yuan purple gold into his pocket.

After the distribution was completed, the few people rested for a while, then continued forward through the mine, turning around and around for about 10,000 feet.
Finally, a ray of light appeared ahead.

"Finally out!" Looking at the extremely hidden cave about ten feet in size behind him, Master Xuanchen couldn't help but sigh.

The place where they were at the moment was a valley. The monster's lair was inside the belly of the mountain behind them.

"Where should we go next?" Everyone looked at Master Lei Yu.
"Follow me!" Lei Yu Zhenjun looked around for a few times, stood up and flew close to the ground, flying along the foot of the mountain towards the northeast.

About half a day later, they returned to the plain again.

But the location has already crossed the area where the group of thunder beasts are located.

"We are finally here!" Master Lei Yu showed a lonely and nostalgic look, paused, and continued

"It's time for us to split up!"

He came to Leiyu for his own purpose, so Leiyu Zhenjun would naturally not share his next itinerary with anyone else.

This matter had already been agreed upon before coming here.

"That's good. The Thunder Prison is huge and everyone should have his own opportunity!" said Master Xuan Lei.

"Then let's separate here today!" Master Leiyu nodded.

"However, when you explore the Thunder Prison, there are a few taboos that you must not forget,"

"First, it is the inner area of ​​the Thunder Prison. Only those with great cultivation or above can explore it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to escape."

"The second is the natural disaster 'Lightning Tide' in the Thunder Prison. It happened more than two months ago, and now there are only more than 20 days left."

"Remember to rush to the location we came in from before the natural disaster breaks out, otherwise there is a risk of falling."

"As for the rest, I wish you all smooth sailing and that your opportunities will come true!"

"Goodbye!"

As he spoke, Master Leiyu bowed, transformed into a ray of spiritual light, and rushed forward.

"I hope to see you all again in twenty days or so!" Master Xuan Lei laughed and chose a direction to leave.

Judging from his expression, it seems that he came here with a purpose. I think he, like Master Leiyu, came here for something.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, the purpose of Master Leiyu and Master Xuanlei is very clear, but Fellow Daoist Hong and I know nothing about this place."

"Why don't you travel with us? It will be much safer. What do you think?"

Master Xuanchen invited.

"Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoists. I want to go alone!" Zhou Xun refused with a smile.

Hearing this, Master Xuanchen nodded without any hesitation.
"In that case, see you in a month!"

After saying that, the two of them set up their escape lights and sped away.

Zhou Xun was the only one left here, but he did not leave but stayed where he was.

After waiting for two hours, I was relieved when I saw that no one returned.

He slapped his hand on his waist, and a three-foot-long wooden box flew out. Inside was a fourth-level monitoring array.

He grabbed the box and threw it into the air.
Instantly, eighteen battle flags flew out and hovered in the air in certain positions.
Zhou Xun made a hand gesture and pointed at the ground.
"fall!"

The battle flag fell down according to the current position, and then disappeared.

Then he spread his consciousness and found nothing unusual, then nodded in satisfaction.
Then, a thought came to my mind.
"Wow—"

A pair of wings with a wingspan of four or five meters spread out behind him. They were his Thunder Wings.

With this treasure, Zhou Xun can explore more places in the limited twenty days.

Flap the fan.
Lightning flashed, and the next moment, Zhou Xun appeared hundreds of feet away. He flapped his wings again, and his whole body turned into a stream of blue light, rushing back the way he came.

Two hours later, Zhou Xun returned to the entrance of the valley and ran inside along the passage.

After a while, he came to the place where he had mined Thunder Yuan Purple Gold before. Here he had harvested a thumb-sized Thunder Yuan Purple Gold.

Looking at the stone wall that hadn't changed at all, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

With a flip of his hand, a sharp blade appeared in his hand.
Following the trace left by the Thunder Sword, he cut gently, and the rock was easily cut open like tofu.

Soon, a purple-gold light spread out, accompanied by arcs of lightning, and attacked him.

Zhou Xun did not dodge and continued digging.
"Pah,"

The treasure fell from the stone wall, revealing its full appearance.

It was a fist-sized, standard oval-shaped, blue-purple-colored thunder element purple gold.

However, strangely, this one felt exceptionally heavy in the hand, weighing at least four or five pounds. More importantly, its blue-purple color was deeper than that of ordinary thunder element purple gold.

Suddenly, a term flashed through Zhou Xun's mind.
"Purple gold thunder core!"

It is condensed from the essence of thunder element purple gold, and is of the fourth-grade top-grade level. It is extremely rare and is completely sufficient for refining top-grade magic weapons.

Zhou Xun was overjoyed and immediately took out a jade box, carefully put it in, and then put it into the storage bag.

This is the first fourth-grade top-grade material he has obtained, and it has thunder attribute. He will definitely be able to use it in the future.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun quickly left this place.
Two hours later, he returned to the place where he had parted with everyone before.

After checking the monitoring array and finding no changes, Zhou Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he lowered his head and thought for a moment, then slapped the storage bag on his waist.
Two beams of light flew out and landed in front of him.
One is a compass-shaped treasure, 'Small Butian Compass!'

The other one was a jade talisman that was entirely jasper-colored, with ancient Chinese characters engraved on it, which was the word "Xuan".

It was the one that was obtained in the Tianxuan Secret Realm that year.

Then Zhou Xun muttered something, made hand gestures, and pointed at the jade talisman.
Then an invisible energy was drawn out and merged into the compass.
After a moment, the compass flashed and showed a golden arrow pointing to the northwest.

“Sure enough, it works!”

Zhou Xun smiled slightly,
Previously, he had read in the library of Zhenhai Immortal City that the Thunder Prison was related to the ancient Thunder Xiao Sect, and Zhou Xun remembered the two jade talismans in his hand.
With the help of their relationship with the Lei Xiao Sect, perhaps it would be possible to use the divination technique to calculate the approximate location of the fallen great monk of the Lei Xiao Sect.

This is Zhou Xun’s plan.

After doing all this, Zhou Xun put away all the treasures.
A thought in my mind,
The Thunder Wings appeared behind him.

With a flap of his wings, the whole person turned into a stream of light and flew towards the northwest direction indicated by the compass.
