CHAPTER 53: SPIRITGRASS DEWLEAFS

Although Mo Yan was speaking with a calm voice, her ears were turning red, as saying those words meant she was accepting whatever he was expecting tonight. She sighed inwardly, it’s not like she would be able to say no to him anyway.

Lin Feng nodded with a smile, "Then it’s good, senior sister, you should go and make the array, I will mine some spirit stones."

Mo Yan shook her head, "Fine, I will go create one in the middle of the cavern." After saying that, she left.

Lin Feng looked toward the wall in front and took out his light green sword, which was given by his aunt, it was a peak Grade 3 weapon of higher grade, equivalent to peak Core Formation realm in qi cultivation.

This would be enough to cut through ordinary rocks, he stabbed, and as expected, he felt only a little resistance before his sword dug almost halfway inside before it hit something hard, probably a spirit stone.

There were many spirit stones, even on the outer wall, so it was obvious that there would be a lot inside too. He moved his sword at an angle so that the rock would fall once he completed a circle.

When the rock came out, it had already two spirit stones embedded in it, one was already poking out, so he had seen it, but one was just a little behind the first one, the rock he cut was just a small one, yet it consisted of two spirit stones, this mine really was a treasure vault.

He began cutting more rocks, he didn’t think they needed to carve out spirit stones from these rocks as it would take a lot of time, and that thing could be done in the sect itself, for the time being, he would just mine.

Two hours later, he slumped on the ground, Lin Feng had gone all out using all his strength. There were already a lot of rocks with spirit stones inside them thrown nearby.

After sitting down on the ground, he decided to cultivate and replenish his spirit qi. The density of spirit qi was enough for him to recover his lost qi and rejuvenate his body in a few minutes.

...

Mo Yan was done with half of the array, and she was starting to feel exhausted too, drawing an array is not as simple as outlining arcs on the ground.

While drawing an array, you have to imbue each and every arc with the needed amount of spirit qi according to its grade.

The teleportation array she was drawing was a Grade 6 array, even though it was one grade below her strength, the continuous use of her spirit qi and concentration so that she didn’t mess with the lines was putting strain on her spirituality. Not to mention she wasn’t good with arrays, she was just copying it from a scroll.

Even though she was feeling exhausted, it was just mental exhaustion, so she didn’t stop and kept drawing it.

...

Five hours later, Lin Feng sat down again after two more rounds of mining, a small hill of rocks was lying behind him, he was sure that he had mined around 10,000 spirit stones by now, and at least 90 percent of them were high grade.

Although it sounded like a lot of spirit stones, it was nothing for a sect as big as Frozen Heart Sect. If his senior sister was mining in his place, then she would have mined at least 1,000,000 spirit stones, even with her restricted strength to not damage the main vein.

Just as Lin Feng was thinking that, Mo Yan appeared, she looked at the pile of spirit stones and smiled, "You worked hard, junior brother."

Lin Feng smiled lecherously, "How about rewarding me, senior sister?"

Mo Yan got speechless and didn’t pay any attention to him, she knew what kind of reward he was asking for with that smile, she took out her sword, "Junior brother, go out for the time being, as you might get hurt."

Lin Feng stood up and nodded and walked out, this way she could dig and throw stones without worrying about him.

When he came out, he saw that in the middle of the cavern, near the riverbank, an array had been carved. It was big enough for 10 people to teleport at one time.

He looked around and decided to gather some spirit herbs, which he could use for cultivation. You can’t cultivate using spirit stones in Qi Refinement realm, but using spirit herbs is not a problem.

It’s just that using spirit herbs directly without converting them into pills is considered a waste, as you can only absorb 30 to 40 percent of the spirit qi present in them.

This percentage increases a lot if they are refined into pills, as pills get easily digested.

But this wasn’t a problem for him, with his Pure Yang Body, he was sure he could easily get 100 percent of the spirit qi value in the spirit herbs. Better than even refined pills of the highest grades.

The reason is simple, his Yang element could easily purify anything, so spirit herbs were nothing.

A Pure Yin Body could do the same, it’s like Yang is fire that burns the impurities away, while Yin is water that washes the impurities away. The result is similar, but the path is different.

He went to the riverbank, as there were a lot of newborn spirit herbs there, even if he could purify spirit herbs, his strength was too weak, so only spirit herbs in Qi Refinement would work perfectly.

Lin Feng could refine Foundation Establishment herbs too. But they would take time to get refined, so the end result would be similar to eating Qi Refinement realm herbs, which he could see in abundance like grass here.

The bank of the river was filled with Spiritgrass Dewleafs, they were ranging from early stage to peak stage of Qi Refinement realm, he could also see some Foundation Establishment Spiritgrass Dewleafs, but they were only a few.

The advancement of spirit herbs and trees depends on their quality, it is similar to bloodlines of spirit beasts, some spirit herbs take 50 to 100 years to grow from Qi Refinement realm to Foundation Establishment realm, some do it in only a couple of years.

Spiritgrass Dewleafs are low-quality spirit herbs, and they take about 70 years to advance if they are not plucked, that is.
