Chapter 453: Strange Stone
A dirty man held a golden pill in his hand and shouted ecstatically.
In an instant, two supervisors came to his side. One of them snatched the pill away and smiled after checking it. "It is indeed a fairy-grade pill. Good job. Keep digging for me."
The other one threw a most ordinary spiritual energy pill to the man, who swallowed it like a wolf and tiger and continued digging.
"Damn it, you actually dared to hide it, you're courting death!"
At this time, something strange happened on the other side. A supervisor was whipping a woman with a whip. The woman was beaten to a bloody mess and lay on the ground holding her head tightly. Her breath gradually weakened, but the supervisor still did not stop and whipped her fiercely until the woman was motionless and completely dead. Then he stopped whipping, walked over and fumbled around, and finally took out a stone from the woman's hand.
"He even hid a piece of top-grade spirit stone. Damn it." The supervisor wiped the top-grade spirit stone, put it in his pocket, and continued patrolling. The woman's body was left there, and the others ignored it as if they didn't see it.
This made Chen Lan frown slightly. Is this really a mine? It's almost like a prison.
Also, there are those lanterns hanging everywhere, and there is no fog at all.
Finally, Chen Lan's gaze stopped at the entrance of the mine, where two Taoist masters were guarding the door. He didn't know if there were other entrances besides this one, but Chen Lan didn't want to look for them.
After a while, he found an opportunity where a supervisor was patrolling alone and there were not many people around.
He transformed himself into a ragged middle-aged man, looking no different from the miners. He took out a magic weapon from his storage ring and quietly walked towards the supervisor.
"What?" the supervisor asked coldly. He saw Chen Lan.
"Sir, look at this. I just dug it out and wanted to give it to you secretly." Chen Lan smiled flatteringly and presented the magic weapon with both hands.
Seeing that it was a Chaos Magical Weapon, the Dao Zun's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked left and right. After confirming that no one noticed, he grabbed Chen Lan and went to a deserted place, picked up the magic weapon, and nodded with satisfaction after confirming that it was correct: "Not bad, you are sensible, go and have a rest, but you can only rest for a while."
"No, you should go and rest." Chen Lan suddenly sneered, grabbed the man's head with one hand, and his soul power instantly penetrated into the man's mind. The man's soul subconsciously resisted, but he was no match for Chen Lan.
In less than a moment, the man's struggling hands and feet slowly stopped, and he completely lost his life, and his soul was destroyed by Chen Lan.
With a wave of his hand, he threw the man's body into the void, then transformed himself into the man, grinned, and walked towards the entrance of the mine.
From the man's memory, we learned that Labor Gate has been digging a huge strange stone for many years. This stone is extremely hard, and even a Taoist saint can hardly make a crack in it with a full-strength attack. However, they are only afraid of a creature called light filament worms, which can gnaw on the surface of the stone, but are extremely difficult to obtain.
The effectiveness of this creature was only known five thousand years ago. Five thousand years have passed since then, and we have only caught four of them. They have been gnawing on them for so long, it is estimated that it will take more than a hundred thousand years for the real treasure to appear in the world.
Fortunately, this area is a relic of ancient times and contains many treasures. Laodongmen has dug up countless treasures from this area, and there are still many more treasures that have not been dug out.
Chen Lan entered the mine, and the two guards outside ignored him and let him in.
There was only a faint firelight inside to illuminate the way ahead. Following his memory, he soon arrived in front of the so-called strange stone.
Looking at the golden strange stone in front of you that connects the upper and lower stone walls, no wonder there is no one guarding it, because this strange stone is extremely huge, as if it is rooted here.
Chen Lan approached and saw four small insects crawling on the surface of the strange stone. These insects had translucent bodies and were no different from insects that feed on vegetable leaves. They opened and closed their mouths and slowly gnawed at the strange stone, but their speed was very slow and the range of the gnaw was so small that it could be considered negligible.
Chen Lan opened his arms, embraced the strange stone, and wanted to move it away, but found that he could not move it at all even if he tried his best. It still did not move at all!
This made Chen Lan very difficult. How should he move it? Hmm? Chen Lan was suddenly stunned. He found that his Dantian was slowly expanding and his spiritual energy was surging. There seemed to be a strange gas on the surface of the strange stone. It slowly entered his Dantian with his breathing, nourishing his Dantian spiritual energy. His innate chaotic domineering energy was excited.
"Could it be that there is some kind of gas on the surface of this strange stone that is more terrifying than the spiritual energy in my body?" Chen Lan thought to himself. If this is the case, then even if he can't move the strange stone, he can still get some benefits. He just doesn't know what this gas is.
Thinking of this, Chen Lan immediately sat cross-legged, not afraid of being discovered, and used all his strength to activate the Devouring Magic Skill.
However, Chen Lan felt a little disappointed in his heart because his Devouring Magic Skill had weakened. A month ago, as his demon heart was thoroughly aroused, his Devouring Magic Skill had transformed into the Sky Devouring Magic Skill, which not only swallowed everything in the world, but even the magical powers of the Demon Emperor.
But now, the devil's heart is not moving at all, and his devil-devouring skills have also regressed. If he wants to truly learn the Sky-Devouring Demon God Technique, he can only find his Taoist body and gain the memories of his past life, then he will know everything naturally.
As the Devouring Magic Art was activated, the strange stone flickered slightly, but Chen Lan did not notice that wisps of golden gas were pouring into his body.
Slowly, beads of sweat appeared on Chen Lan's forehead. After an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped practicing the Devouring Magic Skill.

"So strong! The spiritual sea in my dantian has doubled in size. The spiritual power has become more refined and stronger. The gas on the surface of this strange stone is definitely not simple, and the things inside are even more extraordinary." Chen Lan was thinking, but his body suddenly shook. He stared at the strange stone and felt something was wrong! This strange stone seemed to have become much smaller!
I don't know if it was his illusion. Could it be that the Qi absorbed by the Devouring Magic Art came from the strange stone? As long as he absorbed enough, the strange stone would become smaller? !
Thinking of this, he quickly placed his hand on the strange stone and used all his strength to activate the Devouring Magic Skill. As the gas slowly entered his dantian, his hand suddenly moved. It was the strange stone that became smaller, and his hand was moved by it.
Sure enough, the Devouring Magic Skill was useful. The LaoDong Sect had been unable to do anything with the strange stones for tens of thousands of years, but his Devouring Magic Skill actually worked. This skill definitely had more uses that he didn't know about.
In the following days, Chen Lan was absorbing the strange stone every moment. He also set up a formation on the strange stone. As long as someone came in, they would not notice that the strange stone had become smaller unless they observed carefully. In their eyes, the strange stone was still as big as before.
He wanted to use this time to madly absorb the gas from the strange stone to see what treasure was contained inside.
However, seven days later, an unexpected guest came today! "Master, this strange stone still hasn't changed. I wonder how long it will take to break it."
