C15 Search for Spirit Stones

The three of them flew on the magic carpet for three days and three nights before finally arriving at a place called the Withering Pine Ridge.

Patriarch Ming controlled the magic carpet to fly to the ground. There was a dry, yellow pine forest around him.

"After flying for so long, it's only been a thousand kilometers. I say, Old Man Ming, your magic carpet's flying speed is too slow! " Liu Yunze narrowed his eyes as he looked at Elder Ming, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Three days of non-stop galloping was just over a thousand li away. The speed was simply too slow. At this rate, it would take at least three hundred days to reach the Absolute Soul Ridge.

"There's nothing we can do!" Fellow Liu, this magic carpet requires quite a bit of Spiritual Qi to fly. During these three days, I have been continuously flying by myself. This old one will not be able to endure this kind of release of Spiritual Qi. " Patriarch Ming looked at Liu Yunze with a bitter smile. For the next three days, the spiritual energy in his body was used up. If they didn't descend soon, the three of them would fall off the magic carpet and die on the cliff.

Liu Yunze was also helpless. The flying magic carpet's speed seemed to be quite fast, but he didn't expect it to consume so much spiritual energy. He had to think of a way to speed things up. He came in front of the flying carpet and carefully looked at the flight arrays drawn on it. These flight arrays were no different from ordinary blankets because they were injected with no spiritual energy at the moment.

"Brother Zhang, do you know anything about this flying magic formation?" Liu Yunze turned to look at Zhang Kuang Jian.

Zhang Kuangjian propped up his chin and looked at the flying array. He knew Liu Yunze's intentions. If they continued to fly like this, it would take them at least a year and a half to reach the Absolute Soul Ridge. Then, he shook his head slowly and said, "I know a little about the other formations. "Do you really understand this flying magic circle very well?

"Elder Ming, how can your formation increase the speed of flying?" When Liu Yunze asked this question, he was somewhat regretful. If he had known, he would have said it a long time ago.

As expected, the Netherworld Ancestor shook his head slowly and spoke extremely straightforwardly, "There's no other way!"

Liu Yunze looked at the carpet. At the moment, he still needed to think of a way to deal with it. Looking at the flying array, Liu Yunze suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He had previously seen some information about spirit stones, if he were to place a spirit stone on top of this fractal array, he should be able to infuse the spirit stone's spirit energy into the flying array. This way, he wouldn't need to use manpower to release the spirit energy, and it would also save him a lot of time to recover his spirit energy. He spoke out his thoughts and discussed with the two of them.

"Can this be done?" Patriarch Netherworld was a bit suspicious. After all, all flight treasures required spiritual energy to activate. No one had ever heard of placing a spirit stone on a treasure before.

"I think we can try. After all, if we were to head to Absolute Soul Ridge like this, it would take at least two years. It's better to have a way. " Zhang Kuangjian nodded in agreement.

Right now, Liu Yunze wanted to get his hands on the spirit stone. If this spirit stone was found in the capital of the Qin Nation, it would be easy to find. If he returned to the capital, then three days of time would have been wasted. However, where could he find the Spiritual Qi Stone in this barren mountain range? No matter how he thought about it, there was nothing he could do. Wait a minute, Liu Yunze suddenly thought of a solution.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, placing a spirit stone on a flying treasure also has a drawback." Patriarch Ming suddenly said.

Liu Yunze and Zhang Kuang Jian looked at Patriarch Ming.

"Have you ever thought that this spirit energy stone is the most precious thing in the world?" There were only a few hundred of them in the capital city of the State of Qin. If we're going to fly to Absolute Soul Ridge like this, how many Spiritual Qi Stones would we need? " Patriarch Netherworld asked calmly.

Liu Yunze was slightly stunned. It was exactly as Patriarch Netherworld had said. This spirit stone was extremely expensive, and the more spirit stones there were, the more expensive it would be. The three days of flight would be enough to exhaust all the spiritual energy in Patriarch Ming's body. If he flew to Absolute Soul Ridge, wouldn't he need at least over a thousand spirit energy stones? Thinking of this, Liu Yunze was somewhat vexed. It wasn't easy to think of a solution, but it was an impossible solution.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for us to reduce the inflow of spiritual energy?" Zhang Kuang Jian said.

Liu Yunze carefully thought about Zhang Kuang Jian's reminder and reduced the amount of spiritual energy he was infusing. This was a subtle skill. If it could be reduced, then it would require a person with an extraordinary realm to do so. He did not need to use the method of spirit stone to fly, since according to the strength of his magic power, the Absolute Soul Ridge could be reached within three days. Back to his own problem, reducing the flow of spiritual energy was also one way, but he didn't know where to start. If a person could control the space between the flying carpet and the spirit stone, then the amount of spirit energy injected would completely depend on the person in charge. He thought about it for a moment. He hadn't obtained any spirit stones from Patriarch You, only a few spirit stones. Spirit stones were different from spirit stones.

Even though spirit stones contained spiritual energy as well, it would take a lot of effort to extract it from the spirit stone. But the spiritual energy stone was different. It contained the natural spiritual energy. He only needed to absorb a little more of this spiritual energy before he would be able to absorb it. Even high-grade spirit stones were inferior to spirit stones. Therefore, these things were extremely rare and hard to find.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's look for the Spiritual Qi Stone." Liu Yunze looked at the endless dried up pine forest in front of him. Within this vast forest, he couldn't find any spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, do you know for sure that we're not wasting our time?" Patriarch Ming asked nonchalantly. It was obvious that he was opposed to the method of using the flying carpet using the spirit stone.

Liu Yunze quietly glanced at Patriarch Ming, who hurriedly nodded heavily, not daring to say another word.

The three of them split up and searched for spirit stones in the Withering Zong Mountains. They agreed to meet at the same place in three days. Grandmaster Ming's advice to Liu Yunze and Zhang Kuang Jian regarding finding spirit stones was to use his own body to sense the spirit energy. If there was an area full of spiritual energy, he should be able to find it.

"Guo Guo, tell me, is this idea of mine for a genius?" Liu Yunze proudly looked at Guo Guo. Guo Guo had been waiting in the Heaven and Earth Pouch the entire time.

"I'm going to suffocate to death!" For the past three days, it had always been inside the bag, accompanying the heavenly resources.

Seeing its wronged look, Liu Yunze laughed maniacally.

However, only someone like you would dare to act recklessly! If you want to find spirit stones, then you might as well get a flying treasure faster! " Guo Guo said. Just now in the Cosmic Bag, it had carefully listened to the method Liu Yunze thought of.

Not long after, a small stream appeared before Liu Yunze's eyes. The water in the stream was incomparably turbid, and some carcasses of some animals were floating within it. A thick stench drifted out from within, causing Liu Yunze to violently vomit.

"This water stinks!" Liu Yunze covered his nose and retreated. Only after escaping a few hundred feet away did he feel slightly better.

Liu Yunze lowered his head and saw two huge lizards running out of the pine forest in the distance. This lizard was so large that it was almost half a meter in size. Her entire body was covered in light yellow scales. Her long and thin tongue was pulled out from her mouth and she was walking towards the direction of the stream that Liu Yunze had just left. Liu Yunze was astonished to see such a huge lizard.

"These lizards are obviously attracted by the smell of rotting flesh." Liu Yunze secretly said to himself. Sure enough, the two lizards arrived in front of the carcass of the animal and began to frantically devour the rotting meat.

Liu Yunze coughed dryly a few times and was about to leave when he felt a surge of spiritual energy approaching him from nearby. This spiritual energy was not from Patriarch Ming or Zhang JianKuang, but rather a living spiritual energy fluctuation. He chanted the invisibility spell and his figure disappeared.

"Swoosh swoosh!" Two sonic booms sounded out. The bodies of the two giant lizards immediately crashed to the ground.

A figure slowly walked over from the distance, and a young man carrying a bow on his back appeared in Liu Yunze's eyes. The young man walked up to the lizard and examined it carefully. A satisfied smile appeared on his face and he was about to leave when he suddenly saw the King's footprints on the ground. He acutely followed the footprints and finally arrived ten feet away from Liu Yunze. His expression was grave as he looked at his surroundings.

"Did this archer discover me?" Liu Yunze was secretly surprised at this archer's keen pursuit ability.

Moments later, the archer disappeared into the woods. Liu Yunze let out a breath and cast Invisibility Spell.

"Who are you?" A voice came from afar.

Liu Yunze turned his head to look. At some point, the archer had pointed his bow at him. The departure just now was just to lure the enemy.

"Why did you come to my withering pine forest?" the young man asked slowly.

Liu Yunze had seen this person's archery skills before, and he was able to knock down an enormous lizard. His life was not as thick as a lizard's skin.

"I'm just passing by. I'm just passing by." Liu Yunze explained.

The other party was extremely cautious as he approached Liu Yunze, seemingly guessing if what Liu Yunze said was true. After a moment of debate, he put down the bow and arrow in his hand and apologized.

Liu Yunze saw that the other party seemed to be living in the withering pine forest, so he told him that he was looking for a spirit stone. After saying that, he roughly described the appearance of the spirit stone.

"From the looks of it, you seem to be a person who cultivates the Heavenly Dao?" The archer did not directly answer Liu Yunze, but asked a question instead.

Before Liu Yunze could reply, the other side fell to his knees with a thump.

"Please! Save us! "
