Drunk Immortal Gourd

Seeing the Mountain Rat King retreat, the entire Mountain Rat group lost their fighting spirit and retreated in a blink of an eye. However, they did not dare to retreat too far because the Rat King was still there. They hid in the distance and looked at Qingyang with fear in their eyes. This wave of attacks launched by the Mountain Rat King did not cause much interference to Qingyang except for leaving more than a dozen corpses.

The Mountain Rat King was very unwilling to do so and hid in the distance and refused to retreat, but they could not beat Qingyang, so they could only form an encirclement and scream to disturb Qingyang's mind. Qingyang was too lazy to confront the Mountain Rat, so he left the Alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron-armed Monkey to block the Mountain Rat Group, and turned around to get into the Mountain Rat King's nest behind.

As soon as he entered the cave, Qingyang was attracted by something in one of the corners. Suddenly, countless spiritual lights came into his eyes, almost blinding his eyes. Looking at the things in the corner, Qingyang couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and couldn't close it for a long time. It turned out that in this inconspicuous corner, there were two large piles of spiritual stones.

The pile with the largest number of them is of course the common low-grade spiritual stones. A rough estimate shows that there are as many as two or three thousand. The number of the other pile is relatively small, with only more than twenty pieces, but they are all medium-grade spiritual stones, and their value is no less than that of the low-grade spiritual stones.

If the spiritual stones found in another mountain-shaking rat nest are added, the total number has exceeded six thousand. With these spiritual stones, more materials for foundation-building pills can be bought, which will bring him one step closer to the goal of ten materials he set before. When his cultivation reaches the perfection of Qi Refining, he will definitely be able to collect all the remaining materials.

Qingyang quickly came to the spiritual stone pile and was about to collect the spiritual stones in front of him. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of a special spiritual stone behind the pile of medium-grade spiritual stones. This piece is not much different from other spiritual stones in appearance, but the spiritual power contained in it is extremely surging, almost dozens of times that of medium-grade spiritual stones. If compared with low-grade spiritual stones, it must be thousands of times.

This... Is this a high-grade spiritual stone? Qingyang could hardly believe his eyes. He quickly took the spiritual stone in his hand, observed it repeatedly, and finally confirmed that it was a top-grade spiritual stone, and it was also the only top-grade spiritual stone in the lair of the Shocking Mountain Rat King.

No wonder the Shocking Mountain Rat King tried his best to stop him before. It turned out that there was such a good thing in his lair. The value of this one piece was higher than the value of the other two piles of spiritual stones.

The value of a top-grade spiritual stone exceeded 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The key is that this thing is extremely rare. Even if you have tens of thousands of spiritual stones, there is no place to exchange it.

Just from the lair of a Shocking Mountain Rat King, he found spiritual stones worth more than 10,000. Qingyang was extremely rich among the Qi Refining cultivators, but he had never seen so many spiritual stones at once. He was rich, and he was really rich this time.

It was difficult to suppress his excitement. Qingyang was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be many, so he quickly put all the spiritual stones into the Drunken Immortal Gourd. After putting away the spiritual stones, he had the mind to carefully observe the lair of the Shocking Mountain Rat King. The nest of the Mountain Rat King is indeed different. The whole cave is not big, but it is neatly decorated. It doesn't look like the place where ordinary Mountain Rat live.

In the deepest part of the cave, there is a pile of compacted soft grass, on which there are a lot of gray-yellow hairs. On the edge of the soft grass, there are even some spiritual grass and spiritual stone fragments. It seems that this is where the Mountain Rat King sleeps and eats.

Except for the pile of soft grass and the pile of spiritual stones taken away by Qingyang, the whole nest of the Mountain Rat King is empty, and there is no other extra things. Although Qingyang got a lot of spiritual stones, he didn't find any spiritual stone veins nearby. Could it be that these spiritual stones were all obtained by the Mountain Rat from other places? Qingyang shook his head. It seems that he has to continue looking.

Qingyang was about to leave, but suddenly felt a trace of spiritual power coming out from the top of his head. This spiritual power is very similar to the spiritual power of the middle-grade spiritual stone, but when he looked up, he found nothing, so he released a trace of divine thoughts and tried to explore the ore layer above his head.

It is more troublesome to use divine thoughts to penetrate the ore layer than to control the magic weapon, but it is not difficult for a late-stage Qi training cultivator like Qingyang. After he probed the ore layer with divine thoughts, he quickly found the source of the spiritual power. It turned out that there was a medium-grade spiritual stone more than one foot deep in the ore layer above his head.

Qingyang was overjoyed and quickly dodged to the side, then sacrificed the Qingzhu Sword and used divine thoughts to control and began to dig the ore layer above his head. After three or two times, a hole more than one foot deep was dug out of the ore layer, and the medium-grade spiritual stone also fell from above into Qingyang's hands.

Looking at the spiritual stone in his hand, Qingyang couldn't help but frown. This spiritual stone was obviously not buried by humans, which means that this is very likely a spiritual stone vein, and it is a spiritual stone vein of high quality. The medium-grade spiritual stone in his hand is proof.

Qingyang came here for the purpose of finding spiritual stone veins and successfully completing the mission of the sect. Now he finally found a clue, of course he must hold it tightly. After that, Qingyang stayed in the lair of the Shocking Mountain Rat King. He spent a whole day using his divine consciousness to explore all the surrounding ore layers and found two more spiritual stones. However, these two spiritual stones were of low quality and were buried very deep. One of them was found by digging a large pit more than ten feet deep in the ground. Although it took a lot of effort, it also proved that this place was indeed a spiritual stone vein. If you spend more time, you will always find it.

It seems that everyone's previous speculation was correct. They did transmit the spiritual stone vein occupied by the Jingshan Rat Group, which caused the Jingshan Rat Group to attack. However, they were too strong and the Jingshan Rat Group could not do anything to them, but exposed their own nest.

After confirming the spiritual stone vein here, Qingyang bent down and rushed out of the Jingshan Rat King's cave that he had dug into a thousand holes. Outside the cave, the Jingshan Rat Group was still confronting the Alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron Arm Monkey. The Jingshan Rat King tried every means to break through the defense of the Alcoholic Queen Bee and could not rush into his cave to stop Qingyang's sabotage.

Seeing Qingyang, the culprit who destroyed his cave, come out, the Jingshan Rat King's eyes turned red and he organized another attack. The result was the same as before. Except for leaving behind a few Jingshan Rat corpses, it did not cause much trouble to Qingyang.

Calculating the time, there were still five or six days before the agreed time for everyone to meet up, so Qingyang was not in a hurry to go out. Anyway, these mountain rats couldn't do anything to him, so he might as well stay here for a while and wait until the approximate scope of the spirit stone vein was confirmed. It would not be too late to go back then.
