Chapter 111: The fourth level of foundation building, the secret of the mine!

Inside the Dantian Sea.

After the compressed five elements of spiritual power reached its limit, it rushed in all directions, and severe pain emerged in the Dantian.

In response, Shen Lian's expression did not change. He tried his best to operate the Five Qis to the Origin Gong to control the five elements of spiritual power in a riot state, and expanded the Dantian Sea bit by bit.

The surging spiritual power rushed into the meridians and acupoints, and further expanded these positions.

When the spiritual power stabilized again, the Dantian Sea had expanded more than doubled, and the five elements of spiritual power formed a circulation trend in the body again.

The fourth level of foundation building!

Thanks to the spiritual power in the shell, Shen Lian was promoted to the fourth level of foundation building without taking many pills.

It was just that the speed of breakthrough and promotion was delayed for a while in order to draw talismans.

After breaking through the foundation for more than ten years, he has broken through four small realms one after another.

This cultivation speed is not fast, but of course not slow. Looking at the entire cultivation world, it belongs to the upper level.

"Om!"

The five elements of spiritual power formed a circular circulation in the newly expanded Dantian Sea. After the spiritual power traveled through the body, the essence, energy and spirit in the flesh and blood were also nourished and gathered in the sea of ​​divine thoughts to become a new divine thought power.

One thousand two hundred feet... one thousand three hundred feet...

...

The divine thoughts extended like ripples, and the undulating earth outside the cave and the chaotic and collapsed mines under the surface were all within his perception.

After spreading to one thousand five hundred and eighty feet, Shen Lian realized the end of the divine thoughts.

Just like when he was promoted to the third level of foundation building, the divine thoughts expanded by more than three hundred feet.

After slowly retracting the divine thoughts, Shen Lian began to regulate his breath.

The shell spiritual object obtained from Aoshi Immortal City allowed him to break through two small realms in a row.

The biggest opportunity was that his five elements of spiritual puppets were all promoted to the sixth level of foundation building, and the unity reached the eighth level of foundation building, which was more powerful than his master.

He still hasn't figured out what this spiritual object is.

The Black Cliff Demon took great pains to snatch such a thing from Aoshi Immortal City, but this thing cannot be directly refined by cultivators.

Either the old demon is not a human.

Or the old demon has a spiritual treasure similar to the Five Elements Spirit Puppet.

"Isn't it a human?"

Shen Lian murmured, and thinking of his means of controlling cultivators, he was a little inclined to believe that the old demon was not a human.

The time spent hiding in this abandoned mining island was generally good.

In addition to the realm promotion, two No. 2 Tianyan Jade Talismans have been nurtured, and the No. 3 Talisman Array has a surplus.

Even the new Xuanling Jade Marrow Stone has not been found.

The mineral vein area on the island is very large. Since the focus was on cultivation and nurturing jade talismans before, only the surface part has been checked.

Now, there is also time to further explore the mine.

…

"Master, there are seven or eight sea creatures on the island, one of whom has been to the island before."

The big black man, with a storage bag hanging on his horn, climbed into the cave with a clang.

"How strong are you?"

"The strongest is only the seventh level of Qi training."

"Pay attention to their movements, and let them leave on their own if nothing unexpected happens."

Several Qi training monks came to the island, mostly to find some opportunities, and Shen Lian was too lazy to pay attention.

"By the way, the monk who went to the island before seemed to be seriously injured and was escorted to the island."

"Didn't you say a few months ago that the sea creatures who went to the island before picked up a broken second-level magic weapon?"

Shen Lian thought about it for a while and understood what was going on.

When he heard about the broken magic weapon, Dahei suddenly reacted, and the storage bag hanging on Dahei's horn lit up, and two pieces of ore flew out.

"Master, I found ore too!"

A piece of black ink iron stone and a piece of red red gold ore, both of which are second-level ores.

As for the size, one is the size of a finger, and the other is one-tenth the size of a finger.

Placing the ore in front of Shen Lian, the big black horn on Dahei's head swung back, almost piercing his back, and the two big pincers were placed back on his waist.

It made him look very proud.

Looking at the two shabby second-level ores, Shen Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still took out the Soul Feeding Pill and stuffed it into Dahei's mouth, and touched its big black horns.

"... Master, the Soul Feeding Pill has no effect after eating it."

Shen Lian glanced at Dahei and suddenly realized that he had forgotten to refine new Soul Feeding Pills for Dahei and Sanqian in the past few years. No wonder these two guys improved so slowly.

"Well, when the master has enough spiritual medicine, I will refine new pills for you two."

Then, Shen Lian bypassed the topic, "How is the exploration on the island going?"

"The miners dug too cleanly. These two pieces of ore were found in other corners of the island."

Speaking of this, Dahei had something to say.

All its descendants are ordinary black-horned ants. The rocks in many places on the island are very hard, so the black-horned ants can only crawl along the cracks in the ground.

However, because there was a fight in the mine, seawater backflowed, and many places were filled with seawater in the mines hundreds of feet underground.

It can still investigate these places, but the black-horned ants under its command do not have this ability.

And it needs to be responsible for observing the movements of various places on the island, so it naturally cannot drill underwater.

Shen Lian nodded. How can the mining not be clean? The Xuanshi Sect uses new energy.

Dahei didn't find anything on the surface, Sanqian didn't find anything underwater, and he didn't find anything when he used the Five Elements Spirit Puppet while practicing.

Next, it needs to look deeper.

After hundreds of years of excavation by the Xuan Corpse Sect, the depth of this vein was beyond expectations. However, due to the fighting, the collapse below was severe.

After the collapse, the mine was flooded and a new structure was formed.

There is pressure in the depths of the surging water. The pressure increases the further you go down, and even the foundation-building monks cannot bear it.

However, among the human race, there are water-repellent beads refined by hunting the sea race, which can form a waterproof mask in the water, allowing people to walk on flat ground in the water.

Different levels of water repellent beads can penetrate into different depths underwater.

"Continue to monitor the sea tribes on the island and report back in time if anything happens."

After sending Dahei out, Shen Lian began to think about it. There were three things he had to do next: find the Xuanling Chalcedony rough stone, assist the Five Elements Spirit Puppet in practicing spells, and draw the puppet talisman.

These three things do not need to be done urgently, and can be done alternately during practice.

…

The mine is six hundred feet deep.

The water is dark, and there are black dust floating in it. These dust floating on the water are the source of the poisonous gas on the island.

The source of the black dust is the depths of the mine below.

On a stone, Shen Lian used his spiritual power to seal the pores, and the Water Spirit Puppet dominated the Five Elements Spirit Puppet and fell towards the depths below.

This area belongs to the extreme position that three thousand can reach.

The Five Elements Spirit Puppet is integrated with the water, and its body surface is also absorbed by the black dust. Fortunately, every time the spiritual power is used, the dust can be dispersed.

The spirit puppet walked through the water, exploring the collapsed and broken mines. Some abandoned corpse puppets could also be seen, but there was no ore.

Since it has just been promoted to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, the newly developed divine thoughts need to be forged with the silk condensation method inherited from the Immortal Puppetry in order to reach the best state on the Five Elements Spirit Puppet.

This secret method is a method that cannot be interrupted and needs to be practiced every day and maintained year after year.

Even so, Shen Lian was 600 feet deep under the water, and the controlled puppet could still explore an area of ​​1,800 feet in radius.

After investigation, it was discovered that the veins were unknown how deep they were at 1,800 feet down.

Shen Lian was not in a hurry. He first checked the area that could be detected at present.

Three days later, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet returned to its true form from the depths of the water for the sixteenth time, and Shen Lian merged into the water and returned to the top.

He sighed, "The Xuan Corpse Sect is indeed the Xuan Corpse Sect."

Controlling the spirit puppet requires the consumption of spiritual thoughts, and there are mineral poisons deep in the water. For the sake of safety, you cannot stay for too long at a time.

Fortunately, in this case, it also has a great tempering effect on controlling the Five Elements Spirit Puppet.

In this way, every time Shen Lian went down to search for a few days, he would come back to detoxify, practice, and make talismans.

After resting enough, we descended into the mine again and continued searching.

…

Three months later.

Thousands of feet underwater.

At a depth of 600 feet, he noticed that Xuanling Chalcedony was not found, but he also checked the nearby area and found nothing dangerous.

Therefore, Shen Lian set the sinking depth to a thousand feet.

It's not that the sinking depth cannot be increased. When he was at 600 feet, the deepest point where the controlling spirit puppet peered was already 2800 feet below the mine.

At this depth, one can already peer into the depths of the water, where countless poisonous water spurts out like black mushroom clouds.

The rich black water is a bit unbearable even for the Five Elements Spirit Puppet, let alone a true Foundation Establishment monk.

I'm afraid that even if the fake elixir comes, it will be corroded.

After briefly looking at the gushing black water, Shen Lian set his goal to search for the Xuanling Chalcedony rough stone.

…

"Um."

On this day, while Shen Lian was searching, he suddenly felt the spirit beast contract trembling. Then he withdrew the spirit puppet, turned around and headed upward.

As the commander-in-chief of the lookout post on the island, Dahei would not call him if nothing happened.

"Master, it's not good. The few sea monks who came to the island were eaten by the mine."

When Shen Lian appeared in Cave No. 5, Dahei immediately came to report the situation.

A quarter of an hour later.

Deep in a mine that has not yet been flooded by water, there is a large, dark hole that spits out thick black water and flows toward the depths of the mine.

A ray of earth-yellow light flickered among the ores, and a blurry shadow appeared, looking towards the black water.

The hole is one foot in size, and the black water it spits out is similar to the gurgling black water nearly three thousand feet deep under the water.

The rich black water also contains a rotten corpse aura.

"Plop."

The black water swayed, and a pile of corrupted bones rolled out and fell into the mine.

"Is this mine directly connected to a depth of three thousand feet underwater?"

In the backup cave No. 23, a thousand feet away from the mine, Shen Lian frowned.

The withered bones that had just been vomited out of the mine were not just the Qi Practitioner Sea Tribe that had been devoured before, but also a severed arm glowing with a dark golden color.

Soon, the amputated arm appeared in front of Shen Lian.

After some inspection, it was discovered that the amputated arm was only a few inches long.

Both ends were completely broken, and the fracture was not smooth, indicating that it was not cut with a magic weapon.

It's more like interrupting with brute force.

"The Xuan Corpse Sect's corpse puppets can be divided into iron puppets, copper puppets, and gold puppets. The golden puppets correspond to the golden elixirs."

Shen Lian's expression condensed, and he suspected that it was the broken arm of the Jindan Corpse Puppet.

I haven't heard of it. During the war with the Xuan Corpse Sect, a real person named Jin Dan died, but there was no news about the corpse puppet.

However, this arm looks like it belongs to the forearm, which means that another part of the hand is also broken.

The integrity of the corpse puppet has a lot to do with its combat power.

Doesn't it mean that one of the corpse puppets of the Xuanshi Sect has become disabled?

After observing for a while, Shen Lian asked the spirit puppet to lift up the broken arm with spiritual power, and threw it into the deep mine.

He came to find the Xuanling Jadeite. What's the use of finding a piece of Jindan corpse puppet's arm?

Besides, this thing has too much corpse qi. What if it is sold and targeted by the Xuanshi Sect?

It's just right to go back to where it came from.

Let's continue to look for the Xuanling Jadeite.

However, several sea creatures in the Qi training period can encounter the black hole, so they still have to observe this place.

Leaving a puppet stationed near this mine, arranging the demonized black horn ant to assist, Shen Lian once again invested in the search.

...

One month later.

Under the deep-water mine, the Five Elements Spirit Puppet turned out a piece of Xuanling Jadeite raw stone wrapped in thick stone skin in a pile of rocks under the water.

This raw stone... It is square, with a big head, as if it has been cut.

In the cave, Shen Lian looked at the raw stone and fell into deep thought.

The stone skin on the surface of the raw stone was a layer of black gravel and soil stuck to the outside, which was compacted under water.

After Shen Lian cleaned it, he found that the raw stone was more square.

It was cut.

Such a large piece of Xuanling jadeite raw stone, on the surface of the cut, you can still see that the jadeite and the semi-jade stone are in a state of integration.

At the same time, you can also see strands of winding black lines penetrating the jadeite.

Shen Lian felt a little regretful. How could he use the polluted jadeite? The fire spirit power was so explosive that it would explode on the spot when it touched the cold breath.

He used his mind as a knife and cut it from the middle.

He divided the raw stone into four pieces in a row, and saw the crystal surface inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was not completely soaked, and two-thirds of the inside could still be used.

Fortunately, fortunately.

After collecting the chalcedony raw stone, Shen Lian first recovered his consumed spiritual power, and then began to help the spirit puppet dispel the infiltrated black air.

After everything recovered, he sank into the depths of the mine again.

With previous experience, Shen Lian set his sights on the rocks under the black water, looking for square black stones.

The cut raw stones could only be made by the Xuanshi Sect monks.

Sure enough, after more than half a month of searching, Shen Lian found five square ores of different sizes, including a piece of Xuanling chalcedony.

…

Under the surging black water, streams of black water gushed out like springs.

Among the piles of rocks, a black coffin about ten feet in size was embedded in the ground.

Inside and outside the coffin, there were large and small square grooves, but they were all empty.

The stone coffin was covered with dense runes, and a little blood-red halo was faintly glowing in the black water.

When the Five Elements Spirit Puppet passed through the black fog and was enveloped by the divine consciousness, it rushed back with a whoosh.

Shen Lian, who was staying a thousand feet underwater, also used all four limbs like a rabbit to paddle back to the water.

"Go, go, go!"

"We can't stay here anymore."

Let me talk about the previous setting problem. Regarding the life span of the Nascent Soul, I unified the life span of the first Nascent Soul to be three thousand years. The unclear and wrong descriptions in the previous part have been revised.

There is another chapter later, which has not been coded yet. If you want to read it, please wait.
