Chapter 230: Digging for Spiritual Stones

After changing its fighting style, the Wind and Fire Bird became much more difficult to deal with. It would run away after one attack. Lin Tianhao and Gu Sheng were annoyed by it. Moreover, the claws and beak of the Wind and Fire Bird itself were very strong, no less than the yellow-grade treasure. The two did not dare to be careless and had to be vigilant and defensive at all times. Over time, both physical and mental strength were consumed greatly.

In addition, the Wind and Fire Bird also began to use its unique beast power to drive away other monster blood beasts to attack them. The disciples of Haoyang Sect had to be careful to guard against the Wind and Fire Bird while they had to deal with the beasts that were charging. For a while, the formation became scattered, and some people were even injured.

The situation suddenly deteriorated.

"Brother Lin, this won't work. Can you find a way to attract the attention of the Wind and Fire Bird alone? When it charges down, as long as you can disrupt its rhythm of flying away, I will have a great chance to shoot it!"

Gu Sheng did not dare to hide his weakness at this time and took out the Zhuge Crossbow.

Lin Tianhao also felt a little weak at this time. After taking out a recovery pill and eating it, he looked at the giant wind and fire bird that had swooped down again in the air with a fierce look on his face.

"Okay! I'll hold it back!"

Lin Tianhao took out a gray-brown pill from his storage bag and ate it. His breath suddenly increased a lot, and his body also expanded a circle, and his strength became more powerful.

This time, facing the sprinting giant wind and fire bird, he did not dodge or avoid it. He waved his spear and faced it directly. Gu Sheng took the opportunity to perform the shadow hiding skill and hid himself.

After the giant wind and fire bird noticed that Gu Sheng's breath disappeared, it also became swollen, stretched out its claws and grabbed Lin Tianhao's spear.

With the blessing of the pill, Lin Tianhao's combat power increased a lot at this time. The spear he originally stabbed straight out stopped abruptly in the air.

It was this moment that not only allowed him to dodge the claws of the Wind and Fire Giant Bird, but he also exerted his strength suddenly, and the long spear was like a dragon, piercing directly into the belly of the Wind and Fire Giant Bird.

The Wind and Fire Giant Bird did not expect Lin Tianhao's attack power at this time to be so terrifying, and this spear actually pierced its body directly.

The Wind and Fire Giant Bird, which was in pain, swept its claws across to force Lin Tianhao back, but it never thought that this time Lin Tianhao would not dodge or avoid, but directly confronted him head-on, fighting like a desperate person.

"Now!"

Gu Sheng, who was in the dark, saw that the Wind and Fire Giant Bird was restrained, aimed at the head of the Wind and Fire Giant Bird and quickly pulled the lever, firing ten arrows at once.

When the Wind and Fire Giant Bird noticed the arrows behind it and was about to flap its wings to dodge, Lin Tianhao actually jumped directly with the force, pouring all his strength into the long spear, and hit it hard on its left wing.

As soon as the giant wind and fire bird soared a little, its body was immediately knocked down. After a pause, the arrows of Zhuge Liannu accurately hit the head of the giant wind and fire bird.

Under the first-level penetration, the power of these arrows, which were already powerful, was even more exaggerated. Even if the giant wind and fire bird had a high body strength, it was pierced directly by the arrows.

The vitality of the monster blood beast was very tenacious. Even if the head was pierced by ten arrows, the giant wind and fire bird did not die immediately.

Before dying, it also burst out with powerful strength, and its sharp claws grabbed Lin Tianhao's chest fiercely.

Lin Tianhao in the air had no place to borrow strength, and there was no way to dodge. He could only slightly resist with the spear in his hand.

With a sizzling sound, the claws of the wind and fire bird were like blades, leaving several shocking claw marks on Lin Tianhao's chest. The force was so great that it even tore off his soft armor and flesh. The deepest part of it could even vaguely see his internal organs.

Lin Tianhao was hit hard, his face was pale and bloodless, and he fell vertically from the air.

After realizing that the vitality of the wind and fire bird was rapidly draining away, Gu Sheng immediately urged the wind boots to rush over and catch Lin Tianhao.

"Hiss!"

Seeing the shocking injury on Lin Tianhao's chest, Gu Sheng couldn't help but take a breath and felt a chill on his back. He hurriedly took out a pill from his storage bag and gave it to Lin Tianhao to eat.

Apart from other things, the strength of the Holy Dan Sect in refining pills is definitely unmatched by other forces in the entire Chiyun Prefecture. Although Lin Tianhao himself has healing pills, the effect is definitely not as good as Gu Sheng's.

Gu Sheng had already taken advantage of this spiritual stone vein, and he was not stingy with this pill.

"Junior Brother Gu, I can't use my combat power next, so I'll have to trouble you to help my junior brothers and sisters with the remaining monsters."

Gu Sheng took Lin Tianhao to a relatively safe place and put him down, then smiled and said, "Of course, you can rest here first, I'll go help first!"

The monster beasts in this valley have lived in rich spiritual energy for a long time, and their strength is much stronger than ordinary monster beasts of the same level. However, the most powerful wind and fire giant bird has been dealt with, and the remaining ones are only the monster beasts of the gold bone realm. After Gu Sheng joined, the disciples of Haoyang Sect were much more relaxed and soon pulled the loose formation back.

After half an hour of fighting, the spiritual energy in the valley had been almost dispersed. The ground was littered with corpses of monsters and wild beasts. Blood was everywhere, and the air even became sticky and filled with a strong smell of blood. Fortunately, Gu Sheng and the others were not ordinary people, otherwise they would have to vomit out their livers, intestines, and lungs in this situation.

In this fight with the demon-blooded beasts, Gu Sheng did not hold back and used almost all his methods. Without his full assistance, the disciples of Haoyang Sect could kill all the demon-blooded beasts in the end. Will be seriously injured.

After this battle, other Haoyang Sect disciples' favorable impression of Gu Sheng increased rapidly, and many people began to take the initiative to talk to him.

After the battle, Gu Sheng asked other people from the Haoyang Sect to clean up the battlefield, and he came to Lin Tianhao's side.

"Thanks!"

Lin Tianhao took a clear view of what Gu Sheng had done. When he saw Gu Sheng coming, Lin Tianhao expressed his heartfelt thanks from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Sheng sat slumped next to Lin Tianhao in an inconspicuous manner and took out two strength-restoring pills. He took one himself and threw the other one into Lin Tianhao's mouth.

"Thank you. This spirit stone vein is of great significance to any force. Not only are you willing to share it with me, but you also provide so many people. If I still hide my clumsiness, am I still a human being?"

Lin Tianhao also laughed when he heard this: "Brother Gu is a frank person."

Lin Tianhao's injury was too serious, and even if he took the pill given by Gu Sheng, it would be difficult for him to recover in a short time. Fortunately, there were only those monster blood beasts in the valley, and there was no other place to fight.

After a short rest, they headed deeper into the valley.

The valley is not too big, and it only takes a few hundred meters to reach the end.

The bottom of the innermost mountain wall of the valley is completely white, and the aura on the surface is even so rich that it condenses into a liquid.

"The spirit stone vein is in that mountain wall. Time is tight. Let's start digging according to the original plan."

Lin Tianhao was quite excited when he looked at the stone wall.

Except for a few of the Haoyang Sect's disciples who were seriously injured, everyone else took out special tools for mining ore from the Xinxin bags on their backs.

Mining is a technical job, and Gu Sheng originally wanted to help, but he didn't have the skills or talent in this area. After working for a long time, not only did he not get any help, but he continued to be a disservice.

Seeing Gu Sheng sweating profusely and embarrassed, the disciples of the Haoyang Sect also tried to dissuade him: "Junior Brother Gu, let us do this rough work! You are tired from the battle ahead, go and rest!"

Gu Sheng smiled awkwardly, put down the pickaxe helplessly and came to rest next to Lin Tianhao.

"Although the spirit stone veins have been discovered, it is still quite troublesome to dig out the spirit stones. If nothing else happens, we will not leave here until the Chiyun Secret Territory is closed. Mining is also a technical job. , They have specially trained in the sect, and they are very skilled, so don’t worry, the spirit stone promised to you will not be less than one piece! You can practice nearby during this time."

At first, Gu Sheng was curious to see Haoyang Sect disciples digging mines, but as time went by, he gradually lost interest and found a place to start practicing by himself.

After the Golden Bone Realm, you need to guide spiritual power into the body before you can continue to practice. Gu Sheng only broke through after entering the Red Cloud Secret Realm. Now he doesn't have the reception method at hand, and there is no way to guide the spiritual power to temper the body. Gu Sheng can only Start practicing martial arts.

The effect of the three body-refining martial arts has been greatly improved after being merged into the Hunyuan Body-Forming Technique. At this time, the disciples of the Haoyang Sect were digging the mines. There was too much movement in practicing other martial arts, so Gu Sheng could only practice the Hunyuan Body-Forming Technique. , and occasionally take time to practice shadow hiding skills.

During this period, Gu Sheng has been using various martial arts frequently. Under the influence of the panel, this can be regarded as a kind of practice. Recently, his various martial arts have made good progress.

【Name】: Gu Sheng

【Age】：18

[Realm]: Bone Refining Realm (Golden Bone)

[Martial arts]: Chop firewood (first-level tearing), archery (first-level penetration), Hunyuan body-forging (first-level 70%, first-level bloodshed), shape-shifting and bone-changing (first-level body strengthening), Snake Breath Technique (Level 1 Snake Breath), Three Styles of Furious Blood (Perfect 68%), Helian Casting Weapon Technique (minor success 75%), Blood Revitalization Technique (minor success 2%), Shadow Hiding Technique (minor success 5%), Jian Gang (entry 8%), Gale Nine Swords (entry 13%)

…

The progress of the Hunyuan Body Training Technique has directly increased by 20%. Although Gu Sheng has not used the first degree of bloodshed, judging from the introduction alone, it can increase the energy, blood, strength and speed by 30%. The effect is very abnormal. What's more important is that this skill does not say that it has any side effects. With the magic of the panel, this violent blood flow probably has no side effects!

You must know that the pills that Lu Shu and Lin Tianhao took to temporarily increase their strength were not only expensive, but also had huge side effects. The improvement in strength was at most the same as that of violent blood, and this violent blood was only once. Since there was a , then there must be a higher level behind it.

A single hit will cause a 30% increase in blood pressure, but what about a second and third degree of bloodshed? Wouldn't the increase be even more terrifying?

This method of temporarily increasing power can be equivalent to a second life at certain times, and Gu Sheng also attaches great importance to it.

In addition to the Hunyuan Body Technique, the Blood Activation Technique, Shadow Hiding Technique, Sword Gang and Nine Gale Swords have also increased a bit, but the extent is far less than that of the Hunyuan Body Forging Technique.

Gu Sheng guessed that this should be related to the spirit-boosting jade pendant.

The Hunyuan Body Training Technique is a body-refining martial art. The practice is to use strength to polish the flesh, muscles, and bones. The Spirit-Promoting Jade Pendant can make the Hunyuan Body Training Technique run at all times. This saves Gu Sheng a lot of hard work.

In the following time, Gu Sheng has been practicing these martial arts, and the excavation work of spiritual stones has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Four days later, a disciple of the Haoyang Sect ran out of the mine happily and excitedly.

"Senior Brother Lin! We have dug up the spiritual stone, we have dug up the spiritual stone!"

At this time, Lin Tianhao was sitting together exchanging cultivation experiences. When the two of them heard this, their faces suddenly lit up. They stood up and looked at the man eagerly: "Did you dig out the spiritual stone? Where is it? Give it to me quickly. have a look!"

The man immediately picked up a palm-sized piece of white jade stone and handed it to Lin Tianhao's hand.

Lin Tianhao took it over with excitement and watched it repeatedly: "Okay, okay! This quality is far better than what we got from those small sect ruins before! Now that we have started to dig out the spiritual stones, it means that we have dug out the main vein. Hurry up. Make progress in digging and strive to dig out all the spirit stones as soon as possible!”

The disciples of Haoyang Sect nodded excitedly: "Okay! Let's work hard now! The mine is not very big, so up to three people can be excavated at the same time. We will arrange a shift in a while, and we will work in groups of three , the operation is carried out in three shifts, and there are people digging around the clock!”

The disciple who reported the news from the Haoyang Sect turned around and entered the mine. Lin Tianhao handed the newly excavated spiritual stone to Gu Sheng.

"Junior Brother Gu, the quality of this spiritual stone is surprisingly high. We really gave it away this time!"

Gu Sheng took the spirit stone, and he immediately felt abundant spiritual power from it.

The spiritual power in the spiritual stone in his hand alone is more than the four spiritual capsules obtained from the body of the black water worm combined.

In addition to the gravity field of the Shuihan Sword that Gu Sheng currently holds needs spiritual power to drive it, the Demon Suppressing Golden Scroll also needs it.

Although the suppressive effect of the Demon-Suppressing Golden Scroll does not distinguish between friend and foe, judging from the last experience, when Gu Sheng's body reaches its limit, the Diamond Demon-Suppressing Bell in the body will still lend a helping hand.

If you calculate it this way, the Demon-Suppressing Golden Scroll is Gu Sheng's biggest trump card now!

As long as there is a sufficient supply of spirit stones, even if the real marrow refining realm comes, as long as he is not killed instantly with one move, Gu Sheng will be confident to suppress it when he uses the Demon Suppressing Golden Scroll!

Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing when he looked at the spirit stone in his hand.

"The quality of this spirit stone is indeed hard to say, but I don't know how much reserves there are in this spirit stone vein!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianhao patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder with a confident expression: "Don't worry! Judging from the spiritual power in this valley and the strength of those demon blood beasts, I conclude that this vein of spiritual stone is like the one in your hand. The quality of the spiritual stones will not be less than a thousand yuan! This is a conservative estimate. In addition to this extremely high-quality existence, there must be many of lower quality nearby. Even if our two families divide it, it will definitely be better than the original four or five years. The total amount obtained in Chiyun Secret Realm is more!" (End of this chapter)
