Chapter 70 Spirit Stone Mine (Please subscribe and vote!)
Lu Cheng'an also wanted to see if the spirit stone mine that Zhu Yan mentioned actually existed, so when Lu Wenxing suggested going with him to find the exact location of the spirit stone mine, Lu Cheng'an immediately agreed.

Lu Wenxing had spent so much time on the banks of the underground lava river, which severely depleted his magical power.

After emerging from the underground lava river, the two of them did not rush to the location of the spirit stone mine that Zhu Yan had mentioned. Instead, they waited until Lu Wenxing had taken a short break to rest and recover before setting off.

Not long after, Lu Wenxing and his companion set off from Huohuai Mountain, heading southeast for about 300 li.

The spirit stones contained in the spirit stone mine are also useful to the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider, but it is relatively difficult for the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider to mine spirit stone mines.

Most importantly, the spirit stone mine was located on the territory of human cultivators, and the Fire-Slaying Earth Spider never even considered mining it.

Because if they were to mine that spirit stone mine, there's an eight or nine chance they'd be discovered by human cultivators.

At that time, they may not only fail to obtain the spirit stones mined from the spirit stone mine, but may even bring about the annihilation of their clan.

This time, Zhu Yan successfully completed the cooperation with the Lu family. In addition, since Lu Cheng'an, a human cultivator, could go deep into the underground lava river, Zhu Yan carefully considered the matter and then told Lu Wenxing and Lu Cheng'an about the spirit stone mine.

Zhu Yan's main goal was to maintain the cooperation with the Lu family. If their Fire-Slaying Earth Spider clan could reliably obtain pills and magical artifacts from the Lu family, their situation would be much better.

Three hundred miles is not a long distance for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Lu Wenxing. Even with Lu Cheng'an, who was at the Qi Refining stage, he arrived near the spirit stone mine that Zhu Yan had mentioned in less than an hour.

"This valley should be the one Zhu Yan mentioned. I came here to explore before, but I didn't find anything. I'll try to search for it again this time."

Looking at the valley ahead, Lu Wenxing quickly led Lu Cheng'an into it.

Lu Wenxing had been searching for mineral resources near Chiyan Mountain for some time, but he was unlucky.

Despite spending a lot of time and effort searching, they found nothing.

Lu Wenxing had also explored this valley, but he found nothing there either.

After Lu Cheng'an followed Lu Wenxing into the valley, all he could see were rows and rows of messy rocks.

There were no plants growing in the valley, nor any traces of wild animals; it looked rather desolate.

“Has the clan leader been to this valley before? If this valley is indeed the one Zhu Yan described, then let’s dive into the valley’s underground and take a look. Didn’t Zhu Yan say that the spirit stone mine is located beneath the valley?” Lu Cheng’an said.

Lu Wenxing silently sensed the thin spiritual energy in the valley; the valley looked far too ordinary.

The last time he came here, he only did a simple survey and did not go deep into the valley.

"Let's dive down and take a look!"

Lu Wenxing nodded slightly. After speaking to Lu Cheng'an, he used his magic to quickly disappear underground into the valley.

Lu Cheng'an also didn't waste any time. He made a hand seal, and a dark spiritual light emerged from under his feet. Then, his body followed Lu Wenxing and disappeared underground.

This is the earth-walking technique that Lu Cheng'an has cultivated.

Earthwalking Technique was a fragment of a second-tier spell. It was only thanks to Lu Cheng'an's exceptional comprehension and the boost from his panel's power that he was able to successfully master this spell.

For some time now, Lu Cheng'an has devoted a lot of energy to cultivating magic, and he has also cultivated the Earth Travel Technique to a minor level.

Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengan were not moving very fast, as they were unsure whether there were any dangers lurking underground in the valley.

If there were any dangers, the environment there would be extremely unfavorable for them. Time passed slowly, and after about half an hour, Lu Wenxing, who was in front, suddenly stopped. At the same time, Lu Chengan, who was following behind Lu Wenxing, also suddenly stopped.

"Cheng'an, there is a spirit stone half a zhang below!"

"Clan leader, there's a spirit stone about ten feet to our left!"

At that moment, both Lu Wenxing and Lu Chengan discovered the spirit stones hidden around them.

The spirit stones contained in the spirit stone mine are encased in layers of stone. To mine them, the outer stone wall needs to be broken open to extract the spirit stones inside.

Lu Cheng'an and Lu Wenxing were able to discover the spirit stones on the stone wall because they used their divine sense to probe them.

A cultivator's spiritual sense can perceive things more clearly and accurately than the naked eye.

"Cheng'an, go upstairs and wait for me. After I confirm the size of this spirit stone mine, we'll return to the clan together."

Lu Wenxing was very excited. Even though the spirit stone mine was not large, it was enough for the Lu family.

Lu Wenxing even hoped that the spirit stone mine would be smaller in scale, because the Lu family's current strength was too weak, and if the spirit stone mine were too large, the Lu family would not be able to defend it.

Hiding underground is an extremely energy-consuming activity. Although Lu Cheng'an's dantian contained slightly more energy than that of cultivators at the same level, he still lost a considerable amount of energy after being underground for so long.

"Then I'll go upstairs and wait for the clan leader. Clan leader, please be careful!"

After saying a word to Lu Wenxing, Lu Cheng'an immediately used his earth-walking technique to rush upwards.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an's figure reappeared in the valley.

The valley is not particularly secluded, but because the surrounding area is quite desolate and there is nothing of value in the valley, it is not usually visited by independent cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an found a relatively smooth rock in the valley and sat down, waiting for Lu Wenxing to come out from underground.

Exploring the reserves of spirit stone mines is no easy task, and it is fortunate that Lu Wenxing's cultivation has now broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and the magical power accumulated in his dantian is abundant.

After exploring underground for nearly two hours, he was able to roughly determine the size of the spirit stone mine.

"Clan leader, how large is this spirit stone mine in the valley?" Lu Cheng'an asked immediately after seeing Lu Wenxing emerge from underground.

"This is a miniature spirit stone mine, estimated to be able to mine 100,000 spirit stones."

Lu Wenxing smiled. The miniature spirit stone mine has a reserve of between 10,000 and 200,000 spirit stones.

This miniature spirit stone mine contains around 100,000 spirit stones, making it a fairly ordinary miniature spirit stone mine.

This size of spirit stone mine is the most suitable for the Lu family at present. It will not attract the covetousness of powerful forces, and with the strength of the Lu family, they can still hold onto it for the time being.

"Let's return to our clan now and discuss with the elders how to mine this spirit stone!"

Lu Wenxing's face was beaming with an undisguised smile. He couldn't wait to return to his clan and share this exciting news with his people.
