Hundreds of elders made their move together, causing the mountains to collapse and the weather to change in an instant.

Under the effect of their powerful divine abilities, large rocks and vegetation within tens of miles were lifted and thrown away, revealing a giant vein of ore buried within the mountain, resembling a blue ancient dragon lying across the land.

In mid-air, Qi Yalan pointed with her jade hand, and sharp sword energy fell from the sky, easily cutting dozens of spirit stones the size of human heads, which were then absorbed by the women in front of them.

Qing Muling caught one of them with his hand. The edge of the spirit stone was cut neatly and smoothly, with a clear and pure color. It contained abundant spiritual energy, attracting and slowly gathering a lot of free spiritual energy from the surrounding space. It was truly a top-grade spirit stone, and it was also a super giant vein that stretched for millions of miles.

This kind of top-grade spirit stone contained no impurities, so it skipped the tedious process of refining and purification. It could be directly used after being mined and cut into standard sizes, and could be traded on the market.

“I’m a little worried now. Can the sect find enough places to store these treasures?”

Qing Muling said. The resources they sent back a few days ago were already massive, and now they had to transport a large amount of spirit stone veins. It was impossible to leave such important resources exposed, right?

Yueyi Heavenly Lord smiled slightly, “There’s no need to worry about that. Let the remaining elders go all out, set up formations, and create a new secret realm. It won’t take long, maybe just a few days, if we only consider the requirement of storing resources.”

Although the cost of construction was not low, with the current capital of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, it was not a problem to be extravagant. Within three months, dozens of large-scale secret realms could be built and used, without delaying the main tasks.

“Alright, let’s start working quickly!”

Impatiently, Yu Lingzhou swept over dozens of large-capacity spatial artifacts, instantly moving thousands of miles away. Countless bright sword lights fell like raindrops, cutting out pieces of top-grade spirit stones the size of several zhang, and then they were absorbed and stuffed into the spatial artifacts.

These specially summoned large-capacity spatial artifacts had an internal volume of at least tens of miles in size, and could hold a considerable number of spirit stones. Even so, with Yu Lingzhou’s divine abilities, it wouldn’t take much time to fill one spatial artifact. It could be done in the time it took to take a few breaths.

The other elders also started to take action. In fact, their cultivation levels were all above the Feather Ascension Immortal Realm. If they were allowed to exert their full strength, it would probably not be difficult to empty this vein. However, due to the laws of the Misty Illusion Secret Realm, any foreign cultivator could only exert the peak strength of the Feather Ascension Immortal Realm at most, which limited their speed of plundering.

“We don’t have anything to do here,”

Luo Huan seized the opportunity and held Qing Muling’s hand, saying, “Junior Brother, let’s go to the floating ship to play. Do you want to have a big meal, receive a lecture, or fight? You can choose whatever posture you like.”

Cheng Yulan smiled and approached, “Or should we play hide and seek? As long as you can catch Senior Sister, I’ll let you…”

Second Senior Sister was skilled in the art of formations, especially various illusion formations, so she always liked to play hide and seek with Qing Muling, teasing him while taking advantage of him.

Qing Muling shook his head and let go of his Senior Sister’s hand, “I think we shouldn’t just idle around. Let’s go and help, even if it’s not for the sect, it’s good to make some private money for ourselves. The cultivation after reaching the Feather Ascension Immortal Realm consumes a lot, don’t you think?”

“Yeah, that’s true,”

Xuebing Xuan nodded in agreement, “How much space is left in your space bracelet? It must be full. If we miss this opportunity, we won’t have another chance in the future!”

“Alright, let’s take Junior Brother with us.”

The five Senior Sisters quickly reached a consensus. Originally, Mu Yinghua allowed them to not participate in the work and only accompany Junior Brother to play and protect his safety. However, it was also good to take advantage of the opportunity to obtain some resources.

So the six of them found the tallest and grandest mountain peak, and together, they spent half an hour removing the layers of rocks and soil on the surface of the mountain, revealing a crystal-clear spirit stone mountain that was over a thousand miles high.

Sword energy flew like rain, and large pieces of top-grade spirit stones were cut off and stored in the Senior Sisters’ space bracelets. In the end, even Qing Muling’s personal magic treasure was filled to the brim.

“Xiao Si, how many did you store?”

“Not many, just over a thousand. What about you?”

“The same as you. Ah, it’s a pity that our space bracelets are a bit small. Otherwise, we could have brought this entire mountain back!”

“Alright, there’s no need to regret. Let’s throw away all the unimportant resources in the bracelets. With enough spirit stones, who would be afraid of not having a place to buy things in the future?”

“Okay.”

Just like spirit crystals, spirit stones were also divided into four grades: upper, middle, lower, and top-grade, based on their purity and the richness of the spiritual energy they contained. The exchange ratio between two different grades was one to one hundred.

Spirit stones were mainly used by cultivators below the Feather Ascension Immortal Realm, while spirit crystals were high-end resources that usually only elders who had reached the Ascending to Immortality Realm and obtained the Dao Fruit of an Immortal could afford.

For the Senior Sisters now, top-grade spirit stones at the million-level were already a considerable fortune. It would take quite some time to earn them in the Great Void Starry Sky.

When the five Senior Sisters and Qing Muling’s pockets were all filled, the spirit stone mountain in front of them was only missing a large piece from the top, and the rest was still standing there intact.

“It’s really a pity!”Qi Yalan was somewhat frustrated. The treasure vault was right in front of her, yet she couldn’t take any of it. The feeling of being stifled was unbearable.

Qing Muling said, “Since we can’t take it away, let’s cultivate here. We’ll absorb as much spiritual energy as we can.”

“Alright.”

The senior sisters thought about it and agreed. After all, one of the main uses of spirit stones was for cultivation. With a ready-made mountain of spirit stones here, it would be a waste not to exploit it. It would be a disservice to their conscience.

Qi Yalan leveled the peak with her sword energy, clearing a large enough area. The six of them landed together, sat cross-legged, and began to extract the massive amount of spiritual energy from the mountain using their cultivation techniques.

Sitting directly on a mountain of spirit stones to cultivate, such extravagant behavior was unimaginable in The Great Void.

As the rolling spiritual energy, like the water of a released heavenly river, continuously poured into Qing Muling’s body, the innate Harmony Spirit Seed in his sea of consciousness slightly trembled. A trace of lustrous, water-like chaotic spiritual light emerged lightly, filling his organs and easily absorbing the immense spiritual energy.

After a short while, the space within the third shadow of the Blue Lotus leaf began to slowly expand at a visible rate.
