Exciting and ad-free! Most sects would have a Spirit Stone mine, and over time, they could accumulate a certain amount of high-quality Spirit Stones. Even if the quantity was not large, they could still amass some over time.
Rogue Cultivators, on the other hand, had no such luck. Unless they were masters of Refining Tools or Alchemy, they would struggle to accumulate high-quality Spirit Stones, let alone produce them in large quantities at once.
Radix Notoginseng said, “Senior Brother, let’s see how to activate the Linglong Mountain.”
Three hundred high-quality Spirit Stones were just for activating the Linglong Mountain. Radix Notoginseng was somewhat skeptical. He wanted to see it with his own eyes, otherwise, he would feel cheated.
Xu Zhongqing had obtained a large number of high-quality Spirit Stones, and his mood was extremely good. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will activate the Linglong Mountain in front of everyone.”
No one present understood the Linglong Mountain. Even if they had heard of similar ancient spiritual treasures before, they had never truly owned one. When they heard that Xu Zhongqing was going to activate the Linglong Mountain on the spot, it immediately aroused their interest.
Thousand Poisons said, “That’s good, let everyone watch, so no one will have any misunderstandings, haha!”
O’Ni glared at Thousand Poisons, who laughed carelessly.
Xu Zhongqing said, “Everyone, follow me.” He turned into a long rainbow and flew into the distance. Both sides were licking their wounds for the time being, and it was relatively calm. Leaving for half a day or a day was basically not a problem.
They landed on a mountain not far from the Heart Sect. Thousand Poisons laughed and said, “This place is not bad, let’s see… the Linglong Mountain with thousands of holes!”
The treasures of the Cultivation World were countless. Once they reached a certain level, few people were willing to take them out. This time, Xu Zhongqing had taken a large sum from Radix Notoginseng, so he had no choice but to show it to everyone.
Xu Zhongqing took out the Linglong Mountain and pointed at it. The Linglong Mountain was suspended in the air for everyone to observe closely.
This was a delicate and exquisite solitary peak, which looked very peculiar. The mountain was covered with small holes and was beautifully colored. The green mountain body, the dense small holes, occasionally spewed out a trace of extremely fine white mist, and the mountain body emitted a faint green Treasure Light.
The Linglong Mountain gave people a faint sense of threat. Everyone present was a master of the Elemental Infant stage, and they could clearly feel the power of the Linglong Mountain.
Thousand Poisons’ eyes lit up: “Good treasure, good treasure!”
Big Head Zheng’s eyes flashed with greed, but this thing belonged to Xu Zhongqing, and he didn’t dare to snatch it.
Radix Notoginseng nodded and said, “As expected of an ancient spiritual treasure, Senior Brother, please activate it quickly!”
Xu Zhongqing looked at everyone’s reactions and sneered in his heart. With his Cultivation level, he was not afraid of these guys at all. He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll activate it.”
He cast a Magical Technique, and in an instant, the Linglong Mountain began to expand, becoming half a person’s height. Now everyone could see it more clearly. Once the mountain was enlarged, its immense momentum became apparent, giving people a sense of extreme danger.
Various lights shot out from countless holes, deep blue, cyan, light cyan, light green, green, emerald green, reflecting everyone’s faces in a green light, looking eerie.
Xu Zhongqing flicked his finger, and a high-quality Spirit Stone shot out, instantly captured by the Linglong Mountain.
The Treasure Light in the holes was like countless sharp blades. In an instant, it shattered the Spirit Stone as if it were breathing. All the holes inhaled at the same time, and the powder formed by the Spirit Stone was sucked into the holes.
Xu Zhongqing’s fingers kept flicking, and one high-quality Spirit Stone after another shot out.
Every time a Spirit Stone hit the Linglong Mountain, it would instantly turn into powder and be quickly absorbed. It was simply magical. Everyone was stunned. You should know that high-quality Spirit Stones are extremely hard and difficult to crush. But in front of the Linglong Mountain, they were easily crushed and directly turned into cloud-like fragments. This thing was indeed worthy of being an ancient spiritual treasure.
The Linglong Mountain was like a Glutton, tirelessly devouring the Spirit Stones. Everyone couldn’t help shaking their heads. This thing was simply abnormal in its consumption of Spirit Stones. No wonder Xu Zhongqing didn’t dare to activate it. It was too terrifying.
Xu Zhongqing didn’t stop, continuing to shoot out high-quality Spirit Stones. All three hundred and eighteen high-quality Spirit Stones were devoured. As the Spirit Stones disappeared, the Linglong Mountain kept making noises. It was the sound of wind blowing through the holes, carrying a terrifying and eerie melody, giving people a sense of horror.
Xu Zhongqing explained, “This sound is automatically emitted by the Linglong Mountain. It has no lethal power, so don’t worry.”
Another Magical Technique was cast, and the Linglong Mountain suddenly shrank, then expanded, then shrank and expanded again, as if it was breathing rhythmically. In the process, it emitted even more Treasure Light, which shot up into the sky.
Xu Zhongqing was shocked, but he quickly reacted. There were many people on his side, and they were all masters, so there should be no problem.
The Treasure Light shooting into the sky would attract masters. Fortunately, he was familiar with this area and should not find any masters stronger than himself. Even so, he continuously cast Magical Techniques and Incantations to stop the Treasure Light from scattering.
In an instant, the Treasure Light dimmed. Xu Zhongqing realized his carelessness. He cast several more Magical Techniques, and the Linglong Mountain spun in the air, fell directly into his palm, and then disappeared. He still didn’t dare to take risks.For high-level cultivators, the Treasure Light is like a beacon in the night. As long as it’s within their visual range, they are guaranteed to spot it immediately. This fleeting Treasure Light can generally be confirmed as a magical treasure of a cultivator. If the Treasure Light persists, it is likely an unclaimed object, and whoever finds it, owns it. This is an infallible method to attract high-level cultivators.
Even though Xu Zhongqing has already reached the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, he dared not be careless. The world of cultivation is full of experts, and an Elemental Infant stage cultivator really isn’t much.
Radix Notoginseng asked, “Can we attack the main peak of the Heart Sect now?”
Xu Zhongqing replied, “We can only attack once. If we need to attack continuously, one attack will cost eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones!”
Hiss!
Even Thousand Poisons and Big Head Zheng gasped in surprise. They had previously thought that this was Xu Zhongqing’s bargaining tactic.
Radix Notoginseng was also stunned, “What? Senior Brother… are you, are you serious?”
Xu Zhongqing solemnly said, “I’m not joking. Look… three hundred top-grade Spirit Stones to activate Linglong Mountain, right? Then eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones for one attack, yes, only once… If we don’t have a certain amount stored, we can only attack once. If we want more attacks, each one will cost eighteen top-grade Spirit Stones.”
He was flustered as he spoke, but what did it matter if he lied? The real Linglong Mountain only required one hundred and eight top-grade Spirit Stones to initiate an attack. Of course, Linglong Mountain could store a large amount of energy. Not to mention three hundred Spirit Stones, even adding a thousand wouldn’t be a problem. No matter how many Spirit Stones, Linglong Mountain could swallow them.
Oni’s face turned purple and green. She clenched her fists, her mouth twitching, wishing she could immediately fight this shameless guy.
