Chapter 46 Reasons (Investment and more updates!)

After Li Zhirui learned the needle rain technique, he felt that the most important thing about this method was not its lethality, but the extremely large number of needle rain and the area covered by the needle rain, which was very convenient for incorporating into sneak attacks.

After discovering this, Li Zhirui tried to incorporate the wood pine needles into it as a real killing move. He also gave up the lethality of the needle rain technique and pursued the quantity of needle rain in order to achieve a better concealment effect.

Roar!

At first, when the needle rain hit the black bear demon, it did not attract its attention, because to it, it was like scratching an itch, and even the fur could not be broken.

But it never thought that when it relaxed its vigilance, nine pine needles with magic-breaking power pierced directly into the flesh and blood of the black bear demon. One of them even blinded its left eye, causing it to look up in pain. Roar, he came to Li Zhirui regardless of the situation.

"Daqing, stop it!" Although there was a thick earth formation for defense, Li Zhirui did not dare to let the black bear demon pounce directly, otherwise he and Daqing would be exposed and would be even more dangerous.

Daqing used several control defenses in succession, consuming most of his mana before he had to stop.

Fortunately, with Daqing's unremitting efforts, the black bear demon was trapped three feet away from the thick earth formation in a silt swamp created by magic.

This is Da Qing's only two earth spells, the other one is Earth Thorn.

Seeing the black bear demon struggling crazily in the mud, but sinking deeper and deeper, Li Zhirui's heart, which was beating wildly, finally calmed down.

"It's over!" Li Zhirui let out a long sigh of relief, and thirty-six pine needles shot through the air. Under Li Zhirui's control, they penetrated into the black bear demon's body through its mouth, directly crushing its brain.

The battle with the black bear demon consumed a lot of mana in both Li Zhirui and Daqing's body. They just put its body into the storage bag and ignored it. Instead, they took the time to restore their mana to avoid being unable to deal with an accident.

Fortunately, there was no further disturbance in the second half of the night and it passed peacefully.

The next day, when the sun rose from the sea, Li Zhirui also opened his eyes. He was ready to search the island and find out why the black bear demon stayed here.

The area of ​​the island is not large, about ten miles square. The vegetation is dense, but there are no animals. The largest animal is the mountain rat. It can be seen that this place is indeed not suitable for large animals to survive.

But it also made Li Zhirui more and more curious as to why the black bear demon was on this desert island and even regarded this place as a forbidden place. He was just resting on the periphery of the island when he was attacked by it.

After some searching, Li Zhirui finally found the Black Bear Demon's cave, a cave at the foot of the mountain.

Li Zhirui affixed several defensive talismans to himself, put Da Qing away, and entered alone. As soon as he entered, the extremely strong fishy smell almost forced him out.

Fortunately, the cave was not very deep, and Li Zhirui quickly reached the end. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned. At the same time, he also understood why the black bear demon stayed on this island.

Because the wall in front of Li Zhirui was inlaid with raw spiritual stones!

Under the ground of this deserted island where there are few living creatures and thin spiritual energy, there is actually a spiritual stone mine!

Although the black bear demon is not very intelligent, it has the instinct to seek good luck and avoid evil. It naturally knows that this place is beneficial to it, and its cultivation is probably obtained by directly swallowing spiritual stones.

Li Zhirui immediately took out the Green Wood Sword and quickly dug out the raw spirit stone. Later, he felt that his speed was too slow, so he released Da Qing and asked him to help him dig.

When Li Zhirui's hands were so tired that he couldn't lift the Green Wood Sword, he had to stop. Looking at the hill of raw ore in front of him, Li Zhirui felt satisfied in his heart.

According to the standard spiritual energy content of spiritual stones, Li Zhirui should have more than three thousand spiritual stones in front of him.

"Is this a miniature spirit stone mine?" Li Zhirui frowned slightly, but then smiled. Human nature is really greedy. He was not satisfied with a vein that could dig out tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Li Zhirui dug deep in the cave for several days and harvested more than 14,000 spiritual stones in total. Moreover, the raw ore was becoming increasingly difficult to dig. On the last day, he and Daqing only dug less than 2,000 spiritual stones. A spiritual stone!

"Let the remaining spirit stones be mined by the family." Li Zhirui felt that it was time to end this experience.

Judging from the results, this experience was still very successful, with more than 10,000 spiritual stones harvested. However, from the perspective of the process, it was very ordinary, because the actual combat between Li Zhirui and Daqing Zhenger's Eight Classics only lasted two times in total. This time, it did not meet the expectations before going out.

But the spirit stone veins are important. These tens of thousands of spirit stones are a huge fortune for the Li family.

Li Zhirui did not choose to take a sea boat back to Darong Island. Instead, he flew the paper crane in the air, stopped and walked, and finally returned to his family the next day.

As soon as he landed, Li Zhirui went to Li Shiqing and told him about his unintentional discovery of a miniature spirit stone vein.

"Are you sure?" Such a big surprise suddenly hit the Li family. Li Shiqing really couldn't believe it.

"Hey, I've been digging raw ore for several days. You said I'm not sure." As he said this, he took out a piece of raw stone.

Li Shiqing didn't pay attention to Li Zhirui's words. After all, this was the spirit stone mine he discovered, and according to family rules, the opportunities discovered by the clansmen did not need to be handed over to the family.

"I will gather twenty tribesmen now, led by Shi Lian, and you will lead the way to dig out the spiritual stone mine as soon as possible!" Li Shiqing was a resolute man, and he started to do it immediately.

Within half a quarter of an hour, all the tribesmen summoned by Li Shiqing came to the main hall and said: "Zhirui went out for training this time and discovered a miniature spirit stone mine. Now I call you here, and he will lead the way to collect the mineral veins." Bring back all the spiritual stones.”

Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. Although the work of mining was hard, it was not without its benefits. At least dozens of spiritual stones were secretly hidden. As long as it was not too much, no one would pursue it.

"This matter is not allowed to be leaked to other people! Not even our Taoist companions and children! Otherwise, we will deal with it according to the clan rules!" Although the people Li Shiqing called were all trustworthy clan members, he still had to warn!

Wealth and silk are attractive to people. The current external environment of the Li family is not stable. If news spreads that a spiritual stone mine has been found, it may attract more forces to take action against the Li family.

Even if the Li family came forward and said it was just a micro-mineral vein, not many people would believe it.

"Yes!" everyone assured in unison.

"Then you prepare some rations and leave tonight. Is that okay?"

A tribesman stood up and asked: "Clan Chief, how do we explain to other tribesmen that so many of us suddenly left the family? Especially when family members ask, how should we answer?"

"Just say that I let you try to see if you can use the trade route to Qingshan State." Li Shiqing quickly gave an excuse.

Qingshan Prefecture is located in the south of Yunping Prefecture, a world of immortality that is even more prosperous than Yunping Prefecture.

Some things can't be too secretive. The more secretive you are, the more curious you will be. It's better to lie and get over it.

I promised you a big update before!
