The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 230
Chapter 230 Ruin Core
Since he was unable to collect the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lake, Li Qing could only helplessly leave. All the methods had been tried, and there was indeed no way to break the green light barrier. Even the Heavenly Saber was useless against this, so he no longer did useless work.
Of course, before leaving, he still had to properly search for it. With such a rich amount of spiritual energy in this place, many ordinary things would become very valuable. Collecting all of them would be quite a fortune.
Even ordinary stones were moist and translucent, possessing mysterious power. Of course, he would not let go of such a good thing. Even if he dug it back, it could be used as precious materials for forging.
In addition, there were many treasures on Mr. Gui Yi’s body. Li Qing found many strange and evil items from his body. Of course, it was impossible to accept them. He threw them away casually, leaving behind only valuable spirit stones, weapons materials, and other items.
There was also a Yin Yang Token, plus five from Li Qing’s body, which was exactly six. All of them were gathered together.
Walking out into the larger cave outside, one could see a small spirit stone vein buried within the surrounding stone wall.
Actually, this spirit stone vein wasn’t very big, and it couldn’t even be considered a vein. However, because the spirit energy here was too dense, it was only produced after accumulating over time.
Jade-green spirit stones were embedded on the stone wall. In the darkness, they flickered with a faint light. They looked like stars.
Li Qing estimated that there were at least 100,000 spirit stones. Although it was not worth mentioning compared to real treasures, it was very useful to Li Qing. Spirit stones were the most important items needed by Xiantian experts and martial artists below.
After half a day of hard digging, Li Qing dug out all the spirit stones on the stone wall. After counting them, he obtained a total of more than 80,000 spirit stones. In an instant, his wealth soared, and he no longer lacked spirit stones.
Li Qing didn’t let go of anything in the two heavenly passages, big or small, as long as it was valuable. Based on the three-light principle of taking all, digging all, and prying all, he searched the two ancient caves, leaving behind only a spirit pool in the center and a few white jade stone pillars that produced 10,000-year-old spirit milk.
After searching through all these things, he carefully spun around twice and felt that there were no more omissions. Only then did Li Qing reluctantly leave this place.
…
Walking towards the passageway outside, Li Qing returned up along the original path. He passed through the underground source of heat and the source of cold again. The temperature was constantly changing, and Li Qing had a new understanding in his heart.
He had never understood what this grand formation was for, but now that he thought of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Lake and the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus in the ancient cave, he finally understood.
Rumor has it that there is a miraculous formation in the world called the Water-fire Birth Formation. It can nurture the Heaven and Earth Saint Artifacts. I think this formation should be used for this purpose.
Walking up the vortex passageway, after a long period of time, he finally reached the end. Li Qing drilled out of the Earth Fire Cave under the Sun Moon Pill Furnace.
Now that Mr. Gui Yi was dead, no one would sneak attack Li Qing at this ruin. He was the only one left in this place, so there was no need to worry about being trapped by the enemy.
Li Qing looked at the gigantic Sun Moon Pill Furnace in front of him. He couldn’t let go of such a good thing. He had to think of a way to obtain it. After all, this item was even more precious than ordinary Dao artifacts. There were probably not many pill furnaces of this grade in the world.
Li Qing reached out and stroked the carving patterns on the pill furnace. He suddenly felt the spiritual intimacy inside the pill furnace, which surprised him a little.
Previously, when he wanted to collect it, the spirituality in the pill furnace was extremely resistant. He didn’t expect that his attitude would change and become closer.
After pondering for a while, he came to an understanding, because he could be said to have obtained the inheritance of the Yin Yang Demon Emperor, and even the Yin Yang Grinding Wheel had recognized him as its master, not to mention this spirit artifact grade pill furnace.
This pill furnace was a treasure refined by the Yin Yang Demon Emperor. Li Qing had obtained his inheritance. When the Sun Moon Pill Furnace sensed this, it would naturally no longer resist.
Thinking of this, Li Qing’s face revealed a trace of joy. The True Essence in his hand was continuously poured in and he shouted in a low voice, “Take it!”
He saw that the Sun Moon Pill Furnace seemed to begin to slowly recover and emit a faint spiritual light. Then, it gradually shrunk to the size of a wine cup and flew onto Li Qing’s palm.
Seeing this small and exquisite pill furnace in his palm, it was hard to imagine that it was actually a huge monster in the previous moment.
Spirit artifacts were indeed miraculous! Able to zoom in and out freely. Li Qing put it into his spatial ring and left the Alchemy Hall.
…
In the following period of time, Li Qing explored several grand halls in succession, but he found nothing. For example, there was a Spirit Beast Garden. There were many precious Spirit Beast eggs inside. However, it seemed that time had passed too far, and all of them had turned into ancient fossils.
Li Qing put all these ancient fossils into his spatial ring. Although he could no longer hatch spirit beasts, there was no harm in keeping them. Perhaps they would be useful in the future.
There was also a Talisman Seal Hall. The talisman seals inside had long since become ineffective, and there was a pile of waste paper that was useless. Li Qing returned empty-handed.
Feeling a little depressed, Li Qing walked out of these halls and began to head to the next building.
“Hopefully, this building below will reap some harvest, right?” He thought to himself, concentrating on defending against the dangerous mechanisms on the road and moving forward with difficulty.
After walking for a long time, this path finally came to an end. Li Qing looked forward and couldn’t help but be shocked.
A huge square appeared in front of him!
“Eh … what kind of place is this?”
Seeing the scene that was very different from other buildings, Li Qing’s spirits lifted and he felt that he had reached an important place.
This plaza was extremely large. In the middle of the ground, there was a huge black-and-white Yin-Yang Fish carved. Although it had long since lost its luster, it still emitted an ancient and unadorned Taoist charm.
He raised his head and looked ahead. He could see that at the end of the plaza stood a grand hall that emitted the aura of primordial primeval times.
“This hall is extraordinary! That should be the core hall of this ruin!” Li Qing’s eyesight was brilliant, and he saw the extraordinary aspects of this hall. He was slightly excited and finally reached the core of the ruins.
He hurriedly walked forward, passing through the huge plaza and quickly approaching the grand core hall.
Not long after walking on the plaza, Li Qing felt that the spiritual energy here seemed to be very dense. It was very different from other places. He couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.
“The depth of the spiritual energy here is not much worse than the underground spiritual pool! Could it be that this place is also the center of the Ten Thousand Rivers Returning to the Sea?” Li Qing guessed in his heart, “That hall is very likely located directly above the underground spirit lake space. It is the center of all rivers returning to the sea. No wonder the spiritual energy is so dense!”
Since it was the center of the ruins, Li Qing could confirm his speculation. This hall was indeed the core of the ruins!
He quickly passed through the plaza and walked to the front steps of the hall. He looked ahead and saw that there were four words written on the plaque above the hall’s door: Yin Yang Hall!
