CHAPTER 583 - MINE ALL DAY, MINE ALL NIGHT

~HENG~

This time actual sound be heard as the masses of spirit stones ground against each other. This was the first time Lin Mu was controlling such a large mass object thus it was quite difficult for him.

"Come on... Pull!" Lin Mu curled his fingers pulling out four large chunks from the entire wall.

~thud~

~thud~

~Thud~

~thud~

The four chunks fell to the ground, making it tremble.

~huu~

"That took way more spirit Qi than ever before," Lin Mu said upon seeing the amount that had been consumed from his Dantian.

"Well it is a good thing that what you are literally moving is spirit stones, haha~" Xukong chuckled.

"Oh yeah..." Lin Mu realized his silliness and figured out another solution.

He walked to the chunks of spirit stone he had pulled out and stored them into the ring one by one except for the smallest one. Even the smallest one was quite large in size, being twice as big as Lin Mu.

Lin Mu took this chunk and pulled it back before sitting on it.

~shua~

Streams of spirit Qi started to emanate from the chunk Lin Mu was sitting on, as he started to rapidly absorb it. Even if this chunk looked big, it was actually just a low grade spirit stone. The difference between the different grades of spirit stone was in the density of spirit Qi in them.

Even if this chunk was so large, in reality, it only had enough spirit Qi that would be provided by 10 mid grade spirit stones. But even then the amount was way more than enough to restore the spirit Qi that Lin Mu had used for meld.

Lin Mu didn’t even take a minute, before his spirit Qi was restored.

"That was quick, let do it again." Lin Mu muttered before extending his hand again.

The chunk of spirit stone Lin Mu was sitting on was not even a quarter way used and thus Lin Mu had a few uses left in it. He did not even move from it and just sat cross legged while using meld.

"Meld," Lin Mu murmured as spatial fluctuations spread in the area.

~Heng~

The sound of crystals rubbing against each other was heard as they were pulled out. A few seconds later, four more chunks of spirit stone were stored into Lin Mu’s ring. Looking at the wall, about sixty percent of it had been removed.

"A little more to go." Lin Mu said before continuing his task.

Jing Luo was stunned seeing it all. The way Lin Mu was mining the spirit stones could be said to be very unique. No one would be so opulent enough to use a spatial manipulation Qi skill to mine spirit stones.

Not only would it take too much of the user’s spirit Qi, but there was also a chance that it may end up damaging the spirit stones. If the spirit stones were damaged too much, they would start leaking spirit Qi as well.

But for Lin Mu, none other these things were a concern. Even if spirit Qi was being leaked from the spirit stones, it didn’t matter as he would be absorbing it all eventually anyway. Plus, spirit stone miners worried about losing spirit Qi as it reduced the value of the spirit stones. But for Lin Mu, it was alls just entering the minor plane and it would not dissipate truly.

In about ten minutes, Lin Mu had fully ’mined’ out the wall of spirit stone. Once this was done, the two men could see the next part of the mine.

"Ah, so this was just the outermost vein. No wonder it was so large, it was composted of the low grade spirit stones." Jing Luo spoke.

"Yup, we should find better quality inside." Lin Mu spoke as the two of them continued onward.

After amount a minute of walking, they reached an area that actually looked like a mine. The entire cave shimmered with crystals that were embedded into the walls. These were of course the spirit stones.

Unlike the large solid wall, this place was like a large cave with spirit stones embedded into the walls. Lin Mu spread his spirit sense around causally and discovered that about ten percent of all these spirit stones were of mid grade.

"Let’s get to it; you take left I’ll take right." Lin Mu spoke.

"Okay," Jing Luo said with a smile before withdrawing a pickax from his spatial storage ring.

The pickax was of course nothing normal and was a spirit weapon as well. It had formations on it that increased the sharpness of its point, reduced the recoil from hitting things and overall durability of the thing.

Lin Mu didn’t need that though and could do most of the stuff on his own.

~cling~

~clang~

~DENG~

The sounds of metal hitting rock could be heard as Jing Luo mined the spirit stones from the walls of the cave. While he was doing this, Lin Mu was simply flicking his hand while using Meld to pull out entire blocks of the cave wall.

He didn’t care that other rock and dirt was still attached to the spirit stones. He did not need to worry about space and could just store the entire thing in the ring. If needed he would sort it out later.

The two men continued digging non stop for about three days before they finished with the cave

~huu~

~huu~

~huu~

Even Jing Luo who was a Nascent Soul realm cultivator was tired from all the work. A large pile of spirit stones of different sizes could be seen lying on his side. The pile was of about five meters in height at its peak too. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

On Lin Mu’s end though, there were just bare walls left, with irregular chambers carved out into the wall.

"Looks like this part is done, time to move on ahead." Lin Mu stated, not feeling tired at all.

Jing Luo and he had already known where the next vein was and directly headed there.
