The journey is long and it will take at least a year or two to get there. Ling Tian hid in the space and let Xiao Jin go by himself, while he practiced inside. Thousands of years cannot be wasted.
The Spirit Stones were already depleted, and relying solely on the Spirit Core's output was impossible to break through. At this stage, all the available spiritual herbs had developed resistance, and pills were useless. After much deliberation, he decided to step out of the space and condense the thin immortal energy. Now that he had reached a semi-immortal state, he needed a massive immortal energy pill to fully transform it.
The condensation of Xianyuan Pills requires a huge amount of soul power. Even his soul in the middle stage of the Holy Realm finds it difficult. He can only condense two Xianyuan Pills in an hour. It can be seen how difficult it is.
While condensing, one can also absorb spiritual energy to improve cultivation, and the efficiency is greatly improved. It feels like there is a spiritual gathering array on the body. In fact, it is attracted by the immortal energy. This discovery is also good news. However, no matter how much spiritual energy is absorbed, it will not allow one to break through to the Void Refinement Realm in a short time. It can only be said that it saves some spirit stones for oneself.
According to the current absorption rate, the total amount of spiritual energy absorbed in one day is equivalent to that of fifty high-grade spirit stones. At this rate, it is likely that the lifespan cannot be increased without several million years. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
After a year of traveling, they were already halfway through the journey. If they were not mistaken, this was the territory of the top family, the Asma family. This was an absolutely large family, tens of thousands of times larger than Luohu's. As for their most powerful strength, it had definitely reached the level of a demon lord.
That day, Ling Tian stopped condensing the Immortal Yuan Pill. Dozens of demon generals gathered together. The leading demon king was giving them a lecture. He hid in the void and listened to what they said.
"Alright, ahead is our newly discovered magic crystal mine. Before the provincial government leader arrives to take over, we must dig as hard as we can, otherwise we won't have any share in the future."
Ling Tian in the void became interested. The magic crystal stone is actually the spirit stone of the demon world, but it has different properties. If humans need to absorb it, they can do so as long as they filter out its dark properties and the remaining is pure spiritual energy. However, in this way, the pure spiritual energy left by a magic crystal stone is nearly two-thirds less than that of a spirit stone, so no human will do this, because the value of a magic crystal stone is equal to that of a spirit stone.
"If it produces a demon core, it would be worth spending some time on it."
Ling Tian took out the spirit core in the space and sensed it carefully. A hint of intention made him feel a little happier, because spirit cores would resonate with each other, and they could be detected as long as they were within the sensing range. The subtle changes in the spirit core just now had proved that the magic crystal stone mine underneath had produced a magic spirit core.
Following it, I found a narrow entrance not far away. It was hidden by the low plants around it and could not be seen without careful searching.
With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw that the demons had already entered and were happily collecting minerals. They had no tools and relied entirely on their sharp and hard claws, but their efficiency was much faster than that of humans using pickaxes.
In just a short while, each person dug out hundreds of pieces, which was amazing.
Ling Tian changed direction and followed the induction of the spirit core. After walking for several miles, he found that the induction intensity here was slightly stronger than the previous location, so he decided to start digging from here.
He summoned Xiaodie and asked her to release the illusion, then began digging with peace of mind. Two thick dragon-killing vines drilled directly into the ground. Within a few breaths, he discovered the existence of magic crystals. The number of them was so large that he couldn't help but sigh at the richness of the resources here.
In just one hour, the number of magic crystals brought back by the Dragon-Slaying Vine had reached as many as 700,000 to 800,000 pieces, which was truly astonishing.
A few more hours passed, and the quality of the deep layer had improved. The number of medium-grade magic crystals gradually increased. This was a good sign, and the reaction of the spirit core was also a little stronger.
No one knows how big this magic crystal stone mine is. Ling Tian has been digging desperately for three consecutive days. Although the sensitivity of the spirit core is constantly increasing, it feels that he is still far away from the magic spirit core.
There is plenty of time, so it doesn't matter how far or deep the excavation is, as long as he can get it in the end. The excavation process is also very gratifying. There are more and more medium-grade magic crystals, and a few high-grade ones have already appeared. He can get hundreds of thousands of medium-grade ones in an hour, which is countless times faster than the money he made by messing with the Chamber of Commerce.
On this day, Ling Tian received a message from Xiaodie that a group of people had arrived outside. The strongest of them had reached the peak of the Demon King's realm. It seemed that these were the provincial government officials mentioned by the group of demons who had come in earlier.
"Thousands of demons are so many?"
Ling Tian was also shocked by the arrival of so many demons. Does it feel like it will take several days to search the entire mine?
Obviously Ling Tian was wrong. The size of this mine was beyond his imagination. The thousands of demons invested in the excavation could only increase the output. It would take hundreds of years to complete the mining.
A few days later, Ling Tian almost encountered this group of demons, but their conversation made him feel a sense of urgency.
"Sir, according to the survey results, this mine should be a top-grade vein. The reserves are enough for us to mine for two thousand years. The magic core should be of top-grade quality. As long as the magic core is not destroyed, it can still bring in hundreds of millions of medium-grade magic crystals every year."
Listening to his men's survey report, Abs showed an extremely excited expression on his face. "You performed very well. Quickly confirm the location of the demon core. You will definitely benefit from it."
After all his subordinates had retreated, Abs took out a black crystal the size of a fist. This was a magic core, just a newly born one. The value of this kind of magic core was not very high, and it could not produce millions of crystals a year.
Abs's goal is conversion. He wants to use special means to transfer part of the high-quality magic cores here into his own core, so that his own core will be improved. According to his estimation, he will get a medium-quality magic core, then he will make a lot of money, and it will be permanent. As for the magic cores in this vein, he dare not think about it. Any demon knows that there must be a core in a vein of this size.
Anyway, he has to guard this place for a hundred years, so he will have plenty of time to deal with the subsequent matters.
As he thought about it, he burst into laughter, not knowing that Ling Tian knew all of it.
"You have this kind of unique method? I wonder if it will work on my mid-grade spirit core. If it does, then this time the harvest will be huge."
Ling Tian decided to follow them all the way and ask them to help find the location of the Demon Spirit Core. He was determined to take advantage of this opportunity.
Half a month passed in this way, and the income was still very astonishing. Millions of medium-grade magic crystals could be obtained every day, and hundreds of thousands of high-grade ones. In addition to digging, Ling Tian was keeping a close eye on the reaction of the spirit core. The current location was already very strong, and he believed that he could find it within three days.
