Chapter 1102 Being Followed
Under Chen Yang's frantic questioning, the big rat told him everything that had happened.
The big rat, who had been mining spirit stones from the abandoned spirit脉, learned that Chen Yang's current situation in the lower realm was not good when he brought the spirit stones to Chen Yang.
So the big rat thought about mining more top-grade spirit stones, and the two of them accidentally discovered Xu Qingquan's extremely special mental power.
Facing the devouring of the spirit脉, Xu Qingquan's mental power showed great resilience.
"At first, Xu Qingquan's speed of consuming spirit stones was even faster than mine, but later I gradually discovered that something was wrong. He seemed to be attracted by some kind of power."
"Just when I wanted to take him away, he had already become addicted."
"He didn't respond to me no matter how I called him, and the madness in his eyes was terrifying!"
"Originally, I wanted to find Young Master to take a look, but later, just as I was about to leave, Xu Qingquan dug up something very special."
"That thing had a strong spiritual energy, and more importantly, it seemed to have some intelligence."
"However, Xu Qingquan absorbed it with just one glance."
After listening, Chen Yang looked at the big rat with a confused expression.
From the big rat's description, it seemed that Xu Qingquan had lost most of his consciousness when he absorbed those things.
However, what could make Xu Qingquan go mad?
A spirit脉 actually produced intelligence... Could it be something formed by this spirit脉?
Chen Yang had already inspected Xu Qingquan's body.
To be precise, it was his mental power.
Xu Qingquan currently had no physical body, and his only possession, his mental power, was now dormant.
Chen Yang snorted coldly, "I hope you are not lying to me. You know Xu Qingquan's background."
"He was the only survivor of Feiyan Mountain. I spent great effort to restore his mental power, not only because he had helped me before, but also because if he died, Feiyan Mountain would lose its inheritance."
The big rat's initial attitude had indeed made Chen Yang very angry.
However, Chen Yang could also understand why the big rat did not notify him immediately.
It was precisely because the big rat also knew the importance of Xu Qingquan.
The big rat next to him trembled, not daring to speak.
"Then Xu Qingquan... how long will this state last?"
The big rat knew in its heart that Chen Yang's medical skills were extremely powerful.
As long as Chen Yang came, Xu Qingquan's problem would not be a problem.
Chen Yang slowly shook his head, "I don't know yet, how much spiritual energy is in the things he absorbed."
"He will at least sleep for a while longer."
"He can't stay here anymore. I have to take him away."
"I'll have Chen Shu come in two days. He has also researched a formation that can replace your mining."
Chen Yang actually felt sorry for the big rat. If he were to be truly ruthless and punish the big rat, he honestly didn't want to.
Although the big rat had some demonic beasts and Xu Qingquan to accompany it, it had been working day and night.
The mining of top-grade spirit stones could only be done by a single demonic beast.
Chen Yang understood the big rat's efforts during this time.
"The black market and the port are almost done. Now another batch of martial artists has arrived. The next batch will be Gray Wolf and the others."
"You should study carefully now how to properly break through to the Foundation Establishment realm."
The big rat's breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment realm was entirely by forcibly impacting it with powerful spiritual energy.
It had some connection with the big rat.
This method was not suitable for demonic beasts like Gray Wolf, Black Bear, and Tiger Leopard Cat.
The big rat understood that his Young Master was no longer going to pursue the matter and quickly nodded frantically, "Okay, okay, I will definitely study it thoroughly!"
"But Young Master, I'll continue to mine here!"
"If I leave, they will miss me."
Chen Yang looked at the other side following the big rat's gaze. These demonic beasts with low intelligence had all improved their strength under the big rat's leadership.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment. It was obviously unrealistic to take all these demonic beasts away now.
On one hand, although the abandoned spirit脉 was called abandoned by others, the big rat had said that there were always people who wanted to try their luck there.
Most of these people had not reached Foundation Establishment, but occasionally there would be true masters of the Foundation Establishment realm.
Under such circumstances, these demonic beasts had to be left behind to guard.
"Since Gray Wolf and Black Bear are not coming back so soon, I'll collect more spirit stones here."
"But don't worry, Young Master, I will definitely figure out a method for them to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm."
Seeing that the big rat was willing to stay, Chen Yang did not insist.
After integrating Xu Qingquan into his body, Chen Yang left some top-grade spirit stones for the big rat: "Use these spirit stones to simulate Foundation Establishment breakthroughs, and don't forget to improve your own strength."
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, he saw the big rat smiling and saying, "You should keep it, Young Master! I've already saved some for myself."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's mouth twitched.
Indeed... the big rat mined so many spirit stones every day, and he didn't know how many.
Saving some for himself was not stupid.
"Well, if anything happens at the spirit脉 in the future, make sure they inform me and don't make your own decisions."
"Otherwise, next time, it won't be Xu Qingquan who falls unconscious, but you!"
Although Chen Yang couldn't explain what Xu Qingquan had absorbed, he could guess a little from Xu Qingquan's current physical condition.
It should be some kind of byproduct of the spirit脉.
After coming out from another direction, Chen Yang suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Someone was following him!
Chen Yang hadn't noticed anyone watching him before.
But after integrating Xu Qingquan into his soul power, Xu Qingquan's powerful mental power gave Chen Yang's mental power a significant boost.
Under this mental power boost, Chen Yang immediately sensed a fluctuation not far behind him!
The person in the dark acted very subtly. If it weren't for Xu Qingquan's boost, Chen Yang's own powerful mental power might not have been able to detect it!
Chen Yang's figure only paused for a moment before immediately returning to normal.
The mysterious person following him in the dark frowned when they saw Chen Yang pause.
When Chen Yang entered the abandoned spirit脉 and seemed to know the demonic beasts within, it made them a little confused.
But to avoid alarming the enemy, the mysterious person did not follow him in and continued to guard outside the abandoned spirit脉.
Although the mysterious person was puzzled by Chen Yang's sudden pause, they did not take it to heart.
As for the possibility that this Young Master Chen had discovered them, it had never crossed their mind.
