Chapter 1163 Treasure Hunt
Qin Yunlan was naturally grateful for everything Xu Qingquan had done, but Chen Yang should not have fallen into this inner demon.
A trace of bitterness appeared on Chen Yang's face.
He understood Qin Yunlan's meaning; he would not let go.
Even with a one-in-ten-million chance.
"Yunlan, you haven't met Xu Qingquan. The first time I saw this guy, his mental power had already weathered the vicissitudes of life. His mental power's resilience is far stronger than you can imagine."
"And what he swallowed before falling into a coma was very special. According to my observation, this wisp of mental power remaining in him seems to contain his will."
"As long as there is even a sliver of possibility, I will not give up."
Seeing this, Qin Yunlan could only nod and stop persuading him. As long as Chen Yang could figure it out himself, that was fine.
However, Qin Yunlan also became curious: "Are there things in the abandoned spiritual脉 that can also enhance mental power?"
Qin Yunlan asked, and her mind began to race.
After a while, Qin Yunlan's eyes widened: "I think I've probably guessed what he swallowed before."
Seeing Chen Yang and the big rat's gazes fall on her, Qin Yunlan quickly explained, "In the spiritual脉, there is a very special existence."
"You can consider them a type of vital spiritual stone, but they never condense their own consciousness."
"It is rumored that above the top-grade spiritual stones are life spiritual stones containing life."
"Absorbing this kind of spiritual stone can not only greatly enhance one's spiritual power but also improve mental power and vitality."
"If our abandoned spiritual脉 really has this thing, and Xu Qingquan's mental power has residual consciousness... then Chen Yang, your idea is possible."
Chen Yang's eyes immediately widened, and unconcealed joy burst forth.
With Qin Yunlan's affirmation, Chen Yang did not leave with the top-grade spiritual stones. Instead, he immediately entered the depths of the spiritual脉 with Qin Yunlan and the big rat.
To find the life spiritual stones Qin Yunlan mentioned, they could only go to the deepest parts.
While Chen Yang was away, the big rat had dug many holes in the top-grade spiritual stone mine. Coupled with Chen Yang's current breakthrough in strength, the progress of the three of them was very rapid.
However, after searching around, none of them found any clues about life spiritual stones.
Qin Yunlan frowned with great distress. She looked at the big rat and asked, "Is it really a life spiritual stone?"
Chen Yang and she were both in the Core Condensation realm now, and they had been in the mine for so long. If there were really life spiritual stones, there should be no reason for them to find no clues at all!
"Although life spiritual stones are spiritual stones, they are like living beings and can move around on their own. Are you sure that what you saw before was that thing?"
Faced with Qin Yunlan's questioning, the big rat nodded solemnly.
"It was that thing, it can move!"
Seeing the big rat's certainty, Chen Yang finally thought of a solution: forcefully break open the top-grade spiritual stones. Although it might cause some loss to subsequent mining, it was clear that the deeper they went, the more likely life spiritual stones were to appear.
With the plan set, the two people and one beast immediately began their relentless digging work.
Since they were not completely excavating the top-grade spiritual stones, their speed was very fast. At the same time, they damaged the structure of many top-grade spiritual stones, causing their spiritual energy to dissipate, directly turning them into mid-grade spiritual stones. Those that were severely broken directly became low-grade spiritual stones.
However, the two people and one beast felt no heartache at all...
After all, the two of them and the beast guarded a mine. The damage to these top-grade spiritual stones was not even a drop in the bucket compared to the entire mountain.
Just as they were digging rapidly, the sound of flowing water suddenly made the two people and one beast stop.
The big rat sniffed its nose forcefully and said to Chen Yang with wide eyes, "Young Master, I smell spiritual energy."
Cold sweat broke out on Chen Yang's forehead: "If you're tired, just say so. Spiritual energy is colorless and odorless."
As soon as he finished speaking, the big rat shook its small head very solemnly. It perched on Chen Yang's shoulder and said word by word, "It's really the smell of spiritual energy. It feels even more potent than spiritual stones."
Qin Yunlan was gasping for breath due to the heavy spiritual pressure around her: "Yes... there is such a possibility."
"The big rat's breed is very special and very sensitive to spiritual energy, so it might be able to distinguish the difference in spiritual energy."
Chen Yang also remembered what happened when the big rat was taken away by the small stone. Wasn't it precisely because of the big rat's special ability?
Chen Yang petted the big rat's head, somewhat embarrassed: "It was my fault. Please continue."
The big rat made a wronged expression, but it immediately straightened its body and sniffed the special scent in the air.
After determining a direction, the two people and one beast continued to dig.
Until the sound of flowing water in their ears grew louder!
Chen Yang and Qin Yunlan exchanged glances. Before Chen Yang could ask, Qin Yunlan said, "Life spiritual stones shouldn't make this sound. Other things wander around as energy, they don't make noise."
At this moment, Qin Yunlan was also very curious about what that sound was.
After a few minutes, a loud noise echoed in the tunnel.
A stream of flowing light appeared before them.
The intense spiritual energy around the stream made them tremble uncontrollably.
"This... the spiritual energy here is actually so dense? Condensed into a river?"
Chen Yang and Qin Yunlan had never seen such a scene before. They walked to the stream and the moment they touched it, they both trembled with comfort.
Qin Yunlan collapsed on the ground, her face flushed: "This feeling of being enveloped by spiritual energy is so much better than absorbing spiritual stones!"
Absorbing spiritual stones involved releasing and absorbing spiritual energy.
But the stream condensed from spiritual energy before them, although it looked like water, they only knew it was entirely the densest spiritual energy the moment they touched it.
It was like top-grade spiritual stones sliding over the entire body.
The comfort was self-evident.
If Chen Yang were not there, Qin Yunlan would have truly wanted to jump into the stream.
But this substance condensed from spiritual energy, resembling a river, would dissipate anything that could not absorb spiritual energy. If they really entered, their clothes would naturally disappear.
Just then, Chen Yang's mental power suddenly sensed a movement.
A white flash streaked across the corner of his eye.
That thing was exactly the same as the life spiritual stone the big rat had described before!
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Qin Yunlan and the big rat immediately sobered up. Although the stream before them was alluring, their purpose for entering the depths of the spiritual脉 this time was for life spiritual stones!
