C853 A hundred million year rock in the spring!
C853 A hundred million year rock in the spring!
What was Shi Zhongquan?
It was a precious jade dew that had been nurtured by the stone through countless years of absorbing the spiritual energy of the world, and was wrapped in the heart of the stone.
Therefore, the real Shi Zhongquan would not reveal any trace of Qi until he was extracted. Golden Haired naturally could not smell the breath of Shi Zhongquan, but he could smell an aura similar to Shi Zhongquan's. It was very likely that this was the aura of the Spirit Stone milk.
The Rain Dew was hidden in the heart of the stone and was called the Middle Stone Spring. If the stone was cracked or was unable to catch the rain that was dripping from the stone, it would be called Spirit Stone Milk.
Therefore, the aura of the Spirit Stone Milk was very similar to that of Shi Zhongquan's.
Pure spirit stone milk was naturally unable to attract Su Ye's attention. To the current Su Ye, spirit stone milk was basically meaningless.
However, the spirit stone milk was still a type of rock core spring. The place with spirit stone milk was very likely to be where Shi Zhongquan was. With regards to this possibility, Su Ye had to go over and take a look no matter what.
The golden-furred man's speed was extremely fast.
A distance of three to four hundred li only took a few minutes.
Very quickly, it carried Su Ye to an open area. Strangely, this open area had a flat terrain, no one could be seen in the surroundings, not even a single person could be seen, and not even a single large rock could be seen.
Su Ye didn't think that Golden Fur was teasing him, nor did he think that Golden Fur had sniffed wrongly.
Things like Shi Zhongquan would usually take more than a million years to develop, and in this long period of time, it was already enough to cause earth-shattering changes to the landscape.
A million years ago, it was a huge canyon and a million years later, it would be a flat grassland. It was not surprising at all. So Su Ye suspected that there was something else at the bottom of this flat plain.
If it was in the past, Su Ye would have had to spend a lot of effort to escape underground and inspect a piece of land that was hidden underground. However, for someone like him, whose psychic power had already reached the eighty-six stone realms, there wouldn't be much trouble in doing this right now.
The spiritual world spread out and directly seeped into the ground, revealing the scenery under the grassland little by little.
Su Ye continued to expand the range of his spiritual world, and finally managed to catch all of the scope of this large underground cave. This underground cave was actually several hundred square kilometers, if he were to move a few people in it, it would simply be like turning into an underground city.
Su Ye did not hesitate at all, using the psychic power to instantly create a path, and he followed it.
After a while, Su Ye arrived at an underground cave. A cold feeling immediately engulfed him and he could not help but feel the chill. It was completely relying on Su Ye's psychic power to reverse part of the laws of the world, which was why he was able to light up clusters of lights in the cave, illuminating the entire cave.
With the light shining down, Su Ye could clearly see the surroundings of the cave. Indeed, this cave had already been hidden underground for countless of years, and the cave was filled with spirit stone milk.
This kind of stalactite spirit stone was also very valuable within the Immortal Cultivation World. It could be used as an auxiliary tool in artifact forging and was specifically used to increase the spiritual nature of weapons.
There were at least 8000 cubic meters of stalactites here. Moreover, it was only a cave. It was impossible to imagine how many stalactites one could obtain after exploring this underground cave.
If this underground cave were to appear in Immortal Cultivation World, those cultivators would definitely fight over it with their heads filled with blood.
However, Su Ye didn't have much interest in the stalactite at the moment. To him, no matter how many stalactites he had, it would never compare to the ten million year old Shi Zhongquan.
After that, Su Ye began to search for the Stone Center Spring.
This place was indeed a treasure trove.
It didn't take Su Ye much effort to find the first stone spring. Although it was only a million years old and he was unable to even raise his cultivation in the One Rock Stage, it was a good sign that he could find Shi Zhongquan. It gave Su Ye a lot of motivation to continue searching.
In the following two hours, they were pleasantly surprised, the number of Stone Center Springs here was beyond Su Ye's expectations.
Although most of them were in the millions of years and there were very few in the tens of millions of years, there were many of them. Relying on the rapid growth of Su Ye's psychic power from the rocks in the pool, he quickly surpassed the Ninety Stones realm and reached the Hundred Stones Realm.
At this time, Su Ye's exploration of the underground cave was not even ten percent.
Su Ye almost fell in love with this place, hence he looked for his with even more anticipation.
Surprise continued uninterrupted, and the harvest became more and more, as the psychic power continued to increase.
At this time, he discovered that there were some stalactites in this underground cave that were exceptionally ancient. The aura of time exuded from them had actually far surpassed the aura of the ten million year Middle Stone Spring, or even over a hundred million years.
A stalactite stone was only formed after a long period of time had passed. If a stalactite stone was over a hundred million years old, then wouldn't that mean that the underground cave would last even longer than a hundred million years?
This discovery caused Su Ye's mind to tremble. If that was the case, then this underground cave might very well be the Shi Zhongquan that was hidden for a hundred million years.
A hundred million years!
Just thinking about this time unit caused one's scalp to go numb, especially for a young man like Su Ye who wasn't even a hundred years old. It was simply impossible to imagine how long a hundred million years had actually been.
However, there was one thing he knew. A Shi Zhongquan that was over a hundred million years old was an absolute treasure. Not only that, but it was an extremely precious treasure.
Just a single drop of a hundred million year Shi Zhongquan would definitely have a greater effect than all the other Shi Zhongquan springs he had previously obtained added together. It was a qualitative difference and impossible to make up for with quantity. Just like how ten thousand drops of clear water could never compare to a single drop of heavenly dew.
Su Ye suddenly felt that he needed to temporarily stop his random searching. He should specifically search for the hundred million year Shi Zhongquan first, even if he could find a drop of it, it would be much better than this Shi Zhongquan, who he had searched randomly for millions of years.
But how was he to find it?
Su Ye quickly came up with an idea, which was to avoid looking for the stalactite.
The reason was simple, if this cave had a hundred million year Shi Zhongquan, then the place where the hundred million year Shi Zhongquan was condensed would definitely be a place where the spirit energy was sucked dry by Shi Zhongquan. Furthermore, Shi Zhongquan's Qi was very invisible, and there was no spirit stone milk, so naturally there would not be any stalactite spirit stones present.
Immediately after, Su Ye hurried to disperse his mind world, and slowly infiltrate the underground cave. He gradually assimilated the entire underground cave into his mind world, and carefully distinguished the environment of the entire underground cave.
Indeed, Su Ye had discovered three places that were worth exploring.
Of the three locations, two of them were to Su Ye's left, and the other one was to Su Ye's right. The air in the cave was dry, so he could not feel even the slightest bit of spirit power. If one did not look at the other three places in the cave, one might think that this was just a normal abandoned cave.
Su Ye was immediately certain that if there really were a hundred million year Central Spring in this underground cave, he would be somewhere among these three places.
Su Ye quickly rode on his golden fur to the left. There were two spots on the left side, it would be more worthwhile to explore the left side first.
He randomly picked one and concentrated his spiritual perception in this place. It made him feel a subtle change and he confirmed the location where Shi Zhongquan was hiding.
Mining!
Along the way, Su Ye did not know how many times he had dug the spring. However, at this moment, he was truly nervous about excavating this place. Because he didn't know if this place would actually have a hundred million year Shi Zhongquan.
If there was, that would be great.
As the mining went on, Su Ye's calm attitude became unstable, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
In the past, when he was mining the Middle Stone Spring, there would be a stream of Clear Spring Soup that would appear almost immediately after he opened the hole. However, this time, there was no such phenomenon after he opened the hole. It was just a single drop of crystal clear liquid that slowly slid out, giving off the feeling that it was ready to be called a thousand times over.
And with the appearance of this drop of liquid, an extremely mellow and ancient spiritual smell assaulted his nose. It was as if he had returned to the beginning of the world, as if he had stepped through the flow of time, incomparably strong.
Su Ye was so excited that he almost shouted out loud. The moment he saw this drop of liquid, he could already confirm that this was a hundred million year old stone core.
Yes, this was a jade drop that was slowly formed after evolving and condensing after absorbing millions of years of natural spirit energy. It was an incomparably pure essence of heaven and earth, something even Rank twelve heavenly dew could not compare to.
Su Ye was really afraid that this drop of 100 million year rank essence would be scattered due to exposure. Without saying a word, he directly swallowed this drop of hundred million year old Shi Zhongquan into his body.
In that instant, a refreshing feeling overflowed into his heart as his entire heart suddenly quieted down. He could clearly feel a type of rich and pure essence of heaven and earth mysteriously changing his heart, and at the same time, a very mysterious information floated along with it.
Su Ye was startled, and then shocked.
This very mysterious information was the information that came from this hundred million year old Shi Zhongquan as well as the changes that occurred in this underground cave during this process. To put it bluntly, it was a piece of information that witnessed the vicissitudes of life. It was a piece of secret information, a piece of history that was impossible to obtain from other places!
