Chapter 987: Spiritual Essence at the Bottom of the Lake

Chu Yang suddenly had an idea and used the method of controlling the flying sword on this visualized sword. He found that it was surprisingly useful. However, this invisible sword was not very solid yet, and its lethality was limited. It was even difficult to cut a leaf.

It seemed that in order to truly form lethality, he had to go through some hard training.

Chu Yang wanted to stand up from the hidden formation to see that the place he was in was a lake.

The lakeside was full of withered yellow fallen leaves, and leaves were still falling from the surrounding trees. Some leaves fell into the water, floated on the water for a while, and then slowly sank.

Some fell directly on the shore, almost filling up the lakeside. Chu Yang walked on the fallen leaves by the lake, and heard a creaking sound.

Suddenly, Chu Yang's mind moved, and he had the urge to explore the bottom of the lake.

This was not a whim, but Chu Yang just felt a very subtle fluctuation at that moment, as if there was a very rich spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake.

Chu Yang's spiritual consciousness has been tempered, and now it is much more sensitive than before. He can sense some subtle changes.

Plop!

Chu Yang dived into the water without any preparation. A vacuum bubble appeared around his body, which would not wet his clothes at all under water.

Chu Yang searched at the bottom of the lake and found that the lake was very deep, and there seemed to be strange traces in the lake, as if there were strange creatures living at the bottom of the lake.

The spiritual consciousness continued to explore forward, and Chu Yang soon found that there was an entrance similar to a karst cave at a depth of 30 meters under the water, and the rich spiritual energy leaked from here.

The entrance of the cave was very small and not enough for people to get in, but Chu Yang used Tianshu to directly expand the entrance of the cave, so he got in smoothly.

After entering the karst cave, Chu Yang's eyes opened up and found that there were some crystal-like ores inlaid on the stone wall of the cave. At first, Chu Yang did not recognize these ores, but after looking carefully for a while, Chu Yang recognized that these ores were actually the breath-retaining stones in the water.

As the name implies, this mineral vein can shield the fluctuation of spiritual energy and even shield the detection of spiritual consciousness. It can be said to be an insulator in the world of cultivation. This material itself is very useful and extremely rare.

When refining, adding a part of this mineral vein can play a very good role in hiding the breath of treasures.

Chu Yang actually looked down on the general breath-collecting stone, because the shielding effect of this breath-collecting stone is not very strong.

According to Chu Yang's knowledge, this breath-collecting stone has a companion mineral vein called Absolute God Iron. This thing is a high-level refining material and can almost reach the strength of shielding the search of Yuanying's spiritual consciousness.

If you use Absolute God Iron to refine a cloak and wear it on your body, even a master in the late Yuanying stage will not be able to detect your breath and shadow.

Chu Yang dug a few pieces of breath-collecting stones and put them in the storage ring. He continued to move forward and soon found an empty stone house.

This stone house was not artificially cast, but a naturally formed cave.

When Chu Yang's spiritual sense swept through, he was immediately shocked. There were actually quite a few Absolute God iron ores in this stone house. Not only that, there was actually a spiritual vein at the top.

Chu Yang began to mine the ore in the Absolute God iron vein while carefully observing the spiritual vein. This spiritual vein was very old and full of spiritual energy. It had actually bred something like spiritual marrow.

Spiritual marrow is what is produced after the pure spiritual energy is in liquid form, but it is not only spiritual energy, but also wrapped in some mysterious power.

This kind of spiritual marrow is extremely precious to practitioners. A small drop of spiritual marrow can release a huge amount of spiritual energy, which is much stronger than some elixirs.

Moreover, if the elixir is used too much, the poison will accumulate in the body, and it takes time to refine it.

But there is no worry about taking spiritual marrow. Such spiritual marrow, one drop can instantly restore the spiritual power of a Yuanying-level master!

In battle, this thing is simply an excellent thing to replenish spiritual energy!

In front of Chu Yang, there was a low-lying stalactite. The spiritual essence was only a small bowl, and it was all silted up here.

It would take many years for a drop of spiritual essence to condense in the spiritual vein, and it would take even more years to fill this small pit.

If it was in an ordinary place, it might have been discovered and taken away long ago, but this place happened to have two mineral veins, the Absolute God Iron and the Breath-Resisting Stone, which naturally had a shielding effect. In addition, this place was rarely visited by people, so this small bucket of spiritual essence was preserved.

Maybe Chu Yang was very lucky. Recently, a small gap appeared at the bottom of the lake, which happened to allow Chu Yang to discover the clues and track down such a large fortune.

A small drop of spiritual essence can be worth 100,000 Tongbao. The value of this small bowl is simply inestimable.

However, no matter who gets this kind of spiritual essence, it will not be sold easily.

After all, this thing has infinite uses. Not only can it quickly replenish spiritual power in battle, but it also has a great effect when impacting bottlenecks.

Chu Yang didn't expect that this time he turned a disaster into a blessing. He was chased all the way and had nowhere to go. He ran to this forest and unexpectedly discovered such a spiritual essence vein.

Without any hesitation, Chu Yang took out the jade bottle he carried with him and put all the spiritual essence into it. He didn't stop until there was no drop left.

As for the Absolute God Iron and Breath-Resisting Stone in the cave, Chu Yang didn't dig out these two things completely. He just dug out the best ones and stopped, and let the rest continue to grow and take them in the future.

Try to swallow a drop of spiritual essence into your mouth, Chu Yang felt a tingling sensation on the tip of his tongue, which was completely different from swallowing pills normally.

At this time, a pure spiritual energy storm exploded in his lungs, causing Chu Yang's meridians to feel a sharp pain of being torn apart.

However, Chu Yang was not surprised but happy, and his expression was painful and happy. He sat cross-legged in this cave, slowly savoring the changes brought to him by the spiritual essence.

If the medicinal power of the pill needs to be absorbed and transformed by the body, then this spiritual essence is the magic power that can be directly used.

Not only that, Chu Yang was surprised to find that his meridians seemed to have been widened a lot after the severe pain.

The strength and width of the meridians are naturally related to the amount of spiritual power stored in the body of the cultivator and the power of the spells. The subtle changes in the meridians can often bring unexpected results to the cultivator.

Chu Yang tried to circulate his body, and indeed found that it was unexpectedly unobstructed. His meridians seemed to have been widened from a country road to a wide road!

It was not until it was almost dark that Chu Yang decided to leave the lake and go ashore. It should be evening outside because Chu Yang could feel the color changes brought by the sunset to the bottom of the lake when he was in the water.

Chu Yang was about to go ashore, and at this moment, he keenly heard a sound of footsteps.
