Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: High-Grade Spirit Vein, Take Off!

“Little Fire, keep an eye on him,” Su Bai instructed the Fire Qilin to watch over Zhao Tianlong. He then leaped into the Spirit Spring below.

“What rich Spiritual Energy! No wonder it can only be born in liquid form when it reaches a certain concentration!”

As soon as he entered the Spirit Spring, Su Bai felt himself enveloped in warmth, his pores opening up, and an indescribable comfort washed over him. Instantly, streams of pure Spiritual Energy flooded into his body along his meridians, enhancing his cultivation speed.

However, he didn’t need to cultivate it himself; after all, no matter how high one’s talent or how good the resources, who could match his rocket-like speed of improvement?

But if this were used for the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect’s cultivation, that speed would be astonishing!

“Hmm, something’s not right!”

While soaking in the Spirit Spring, Su Bai furrowed his brows in sudden realization; he sensed something unusual. The Spiritual Energy in this Spirit Spring was far too pure! He had quite a few Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, but even the Spiritual Energy within them couldn’t compare to this level!

“Could it be…?”

As if struck by a thought, Su Bai’s spirit stirred, and he followed the flowing water of the Spirit Spring deeply into the underground mountains.

Moments later, he surfaced from the liquid Spirit Water and was greeted by the most dazzling scene before him.

Countless pure white Spirit Stones dotted the entire underground cavern like stars in the night sky. These Spirit Stones emanated a gentle white glow, and trails of white mist gradually seeped out from them.

This white mist was extremely pure Spiritual Energy, which would condense to a certain degree in the air, attaching to the rock walls to become “water droplets.”

The countless “water droplets” around slowly dripped down, hitting the ground and forming a massive Spirit Pool.

Once the Spirit Pool reached its capacity, a lot of Spirit Liquid overflowed, resulting in fountains of Spirit Liquid forming on the surface.

The reason why a Spirit Vein possesses a Spirit Spring is that at least it must be of Intermediate Grade; this is because the concentration of Spiritual Energy in a Lower Grade Spirit Vein simply cannot meet the requirements for condensing into liquid Spirit Water!

However, this refers to Intermediate Grade Spirit Veins and above being capable of forming a Spirit Spring; it doesn’t necessarily mean it must be an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein!

High Grade Spirit Veins are exceedingly rare, and typically when a person sees a Spirit Spring, the first thought that comes to mind is that it must belong to an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein.

But now, something seems… off!

Su Bai glanced around; there were too many Spirit Stones here, and he couldn’t even gauge how much there truly was!

Even though he still couldn’t see the entire scene, just from this glance, he could feel that something wasn’t right.

Although it is said that Intermediate Grade Spirit Veins are worth a hundred times more than Lower Grade Spirit Veins, the numerical difference isn’t too vast.

There are numerous Lower Grade Spirit Stones in an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein, but there are also many Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, as one Intermediate Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

In total, the amount of Spirit Stones from an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein is only about two or three times that of a Lower Grade Spirit Vein.

However, what he saw now was already equivalent to the number of Spirit Stones from more than ten Lower Grade Spirit Veins!

“Could it be…?”

Su Bai slowly moved deeper inside; the further he went, the more crystal-clear the surrounding Spirit Stones became, and the concentration of Spiritual Energy grew denser.

He didn’t know how long he had walked, but eventually, he stopped, and before him appeared a vast expanse of Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!

One hundred thousand?

One million?

Or even ten million Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones?

“This is… a High Grade Spirit Vein!”

Su Bai couldn’t help but be shocked by the scene before him, and at this moment, the speculation he held in his heart became a reality!

As he continued deeper, a large number of High Grade Spirit Stones appeared! Furthermore, in the central area, there were even a few Supreme Grade Spirit Stones!

A High Grade Spirit Vein!

What does that imply?

Each Spirit Vein, if not extensively mined to the point of damaging its fundamental essence, will continuously absorb Spiritual Energy to form Spirit Stones. Under normal extraction conditions, maximizing resources, it could last for several hundred years. If mined all at once, it would only yield enough for about ten years.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one would force an extraction, as it would be a tremendous waste.

A Lower Grade Spirit Vein, when properly developed, can produce around twenty to thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and a few hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones each year. An Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein, when developed normally, could yield about ten thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, around one hundred thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and an additional hundred High Grade Spirit Stones yearly.

The Lingxiao Sect, with its influence, has two Lower Grade Spirit Veins, and even with some extra income, it would take a total of thirty years of returns to equal the annual output of a single Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein!

This is why the Lingxiao Sect strives so hard to seize Spirit Veins!

With an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein, the strength of the Lingxiao Sect could significantly increase, enabling them to acquire a complete set of Nascent Soul weapons and more within a few years, overpowering the Empire.

And a High Grade Spirit Vein…

Its value is a hundred times that of an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein!

When considering the rarity of High Grade Spirit Stones, along with the even more precious Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, its worth is even greater!

Even when calculated at the lowest hundredfold value, the annual output of a High Grade Spirit Vein equates to the resources accumulated by the Lingxiao Sect over thousands of years!

Does the Lingxiao Sect even have a history of a thousand years?

This means that the total resources earned by the Lingxiao Sect over a thousand years don’t even match the production of a High Grade Spirit Vein over a span of three to four months! It refers to total earnings, not merely what has been hoarded!

Without exaggeration, if it had been confirmed from the beginning that this was a High Grade Spirit Vein, then the competition for it in Qingzhou wouldn’t have involved just the four major Nascent Soul forces. Even if the Lingxiao Sect dared to act boldly, they wouldn’t have the courage to seize a High Grade Spirit Vein, at most hoping for an Intermediate Grade Spirit Vein. At that time, the contenders would be the superpowers within the top hundred of the Immortal Alliance!

The entire Empire could be destroyed in the battles between such peerless powerhouses.

A High Grade Spirit Vein!

Some super sacred places in the Immortal Alliance are built on foundations no better than this!

“I didn’t expect that this small, barren land would actually hide a High Grade Spirit Vein. Could it be that there’s something special about this place?”

Su Bai looked at the High Grade Spirit Vein before him, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t excited. With a High Grade Spirit Vein, there would be no shortage of High Grade Spirit Stones, and High Grade Flying Boats could showcase their true capabilities. The strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect would undoubtedly reach an extremely high level!

With the concentration of Spiritual Energy increased, the disciples’ cultivation speed would accelerate once again. This is a long-term development, and even now, the strength of the Heavenly Dao Sect would undergo a qualitative leap because of it.

In a scenario without a shortage of High Grade Spirit Stones, what would be the strongest asset of the Heavenly Dao Sect? It wouldn’t be the Fire Qilin, but rather the High Grade Spirit Artifact, the Flying Boat!

The Flying Boat can travel at speeds comparable to Nascent Soul level and can continuously unleash Nascent Soul-level attacks! Below the Great Perfection stage of the Nascent Soul, relying solely on the Flying Boat would make them unstoppable!

It can attack, can escape, and with robust defenses, it’s truly formidable! This is no longer just about striking it rich; this is about taking off! It’s the kind of lift-off that soars into the sky!
