Chapter 48: Moving Cornucopia

If they, monks at the first level of Qi training, want to leave this mine, each of them must hand over at least ten low-grade spiritual stones every day. The second level of Qi training is 20 yuan, and so on.

Because Qin Shu and He Xin were young and did not test their cultivation level, the black-faced uncle directly marked them with the first level of Qi training. This was a great advantage for Qin Shu, who was at the third level of Qi training.

But with so many mineral veins in the Zhong family, they probably don’t care about these three melons and two dates.

The spiritual stones that happened to be saved were paid to He Xin's share, allowing her to practice well.

He Xin has now touched the threshold of the second level of Qi training. If she can break through here, it will be her fate.

Qin Shu glanced at He Xin, who was practicing hard in the cross-legged position, and walked a little further away so as not to disturb her by the sound of her mining.

She placed her hand on the stone wall and used her spiritual energy to sense the mine. Suddenly, her heart moved and her eyes fell on the stone wall nearby.

The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and there must be high-level spiritual stones.

If you can dig up a top-grade spiritual stone, you will really make a profit.

Qin Shu rubbed her hands excitedly, found the right spot, and started digging with a small pickaxe.

The hard rock was like tofu under the dark iron pickaxe attached to the spiritual energy. It didn't take much effort to dig out a large piece.

After digging for about seven or eight times, the tip of the pickaxe hit a very hard texture.

According to Qin Shu's experience in digging these spiritual stones, it seems that she was right, there are indeed spiritual stones underneath.

And according to the richness of the spiritual energy, it is estimated that it will be at least a medium-grade spiritual stone.

Thinking of this, Qin Shu suddenly became more motivated.

Pulling away the rubble around the spirit stone, the true face of the spirit stone appeared in front of Qin Shu.

The fist-sized spirit stone had a very pure luster, even purer than the high-grade spirit stones she had seen before in Nishang Pavilion.

Qin Shu's heart couldn't help but beat wildly, it must be a top-quality spiritual stone.

It seemed that such a large piece of spiritual stone could be cut into six or seven pieces of common size. Qin Shu flipped her wrist and put the piece of spiritual stone into her jade pendant.

Next, Qin Shu dug even harder, but she failed to dig out any more high-quality spiritual stones, only three medium-grade spiritual stones and about twenty low-grade spiritual stones.

When she ran out of spiritual energy, she would take a spirit-boosting pill. The low-grade spirit-boosting pills were the most worthless in their alchemy sect.

While she was busy, He Xin took advantage of her efforts and started digging with a small pickaxe.

Qin Shu turned around and glanced at her when she heard the movement, "Why don't you practice anymore?"

He Xin's movements did not stop, he grinned at her and said, "If we break through, we will have to pay twenty low-grade spiritual stones every day, which is not cost-effective."

Qin Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yes, she's very calculating. She deserves to be my sister."

He Xin made up his mind to dig for ten more days, and then break through after going out to settle accounts.

However, she finally dug out a middle-grade spiritual stone. Before she could show it off, a black shadow suddenly appeared and swallowed the spiritual stone while holding her in one gulp.

He Xin was startled and screamed.

Then there was a series of footsteps in the alleyway.

Qin Shu stopped what she was doing, looked up, and saw a group of three people walking towards them.

The leader of them was a young man with good features. When the other party saw that they were two little girls, they obviously looked down upon them.

"Little girl, have you seen a Flying Frost Flame Rat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Xin was immediately furious, "I don't know whether it's a rat or not! That thing is about the same size as a spirit dog!"

The three of them looked at each other and asked again: "Can you see where it went?"

The mines are connected in all directions, so it's really hard to find them.

He Xin was still a little frightened at this time. He patted his chest, pointed to the front and said, "It robbed my spirit stone and ran over there."

The three people hugged her fists, thanked her, and chased after her.

He Xin watched their figures disappear into the alleyway. When she turned around, she saw Qin Shu holding the jade slip and looking at it.

"The Flying Frost Flame-skinned Rat is a second-level monster. It is very picky about food and only eats medium-grade or above spiritual stones. It has a pouch on its abdomen and has the habit of storing food."

When He Xin heard what she said, all her fears disappeared immediately, her eyes sparkled, "Isn't this just a moving cornucopia?!"

Qin Shu nodded, "That's the truth, but we can't catch up or defeat them, so don't even think about it."

He Xin sighed resignedly, picked up the small pickaxe and dug again. However, she had just knocked twice when she heard movement on the stone wall beside her.

Then a stone loosened and fell from the stone wall, and a dark head popped out of the hole, with a pair of eyes glowing red. He Xin subconsciously took a step back.

"Qin Shu! There is... there is a monster!"

Qin Shu also discovered that the aura of this monster was very similar to the one just now. It seemed that even this little thing knew that persimmons should be picked softly.

The monster revealed its sharp rat bite and turned its head to stare at Qin Shu.

An unprecedented sense of crisis emerged in Qin Shu's heart. She pulled out the white jade sword on her back with her backhand, injected spiritual energy into it and took a defensive posture.

The next moment, the Flying Frost Flame-skinned Rat rushed towards her without any warning. It was extremely fast, with a series of phantoms behind it.

Qin Shu leaned against the cave and raised her hand to block its attack.

The mouse's target was very clear, which was the place where the jade pendant hung on Qin Shu's neck. Its movements became faster and faster, and Qin Shu gradually felt that it was difficult.

At the same time, she also understood that the rat must have smelled the scent of the top-grade spiritual stones left on it.

After several failed attacks, the rat seemed to be a little angry.

It suddenly stopped, the hair on its back stood up, and the next moment a fire blade cut towards Qin Shu.

Qin Shu flew to avoid it, but the rat took advantage of this opportunity to bite her again.

Qin Shu instinctively blocked it, and the rat's rodent teeth just bit the middle of her sword. The next moment, Qin Shu heard a "click".

Her heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head to check, only to see that the white jade sword was actually broken in the middle!

Qin Shu was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that cheap goods are not good! After all, there are eight spiritual stones! How could it break at such a critical moment!

However, the next change was beyond her expectations.

She watched her sword split into two and turned into another clear purple jade sword.

She raised her hand to catch it. She was still a little unaccustomed to using the sword with her left hand. If only the sword could be a little longer, an inch longer is an inch stronger, it can always help to block.

This thought just flashed through her mind, and then she saw the sword in her hand grow three inches longer.

Qin Shu was happy, good job!

And He Xin, who was watching Qin Shu and the Flying Frost Flame Rat fighting on the side, was even more stunned. They moved so fast that she couldn't see clearly, and she couldn't intervene even if she wanted to help.

Before, Qin Shu said she wanted to practice sword when she bought the sword, and she thought she was joking. Now it seems that practicing sword is indeed right!

Otherwise, if the two alchemists met this second-level monster, wouldn't they be killed on the spot immediately?
