Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 427

Chapter 427

“These elixirs are excellent!”

Li Su waved his hands in the sky, gathering numerous spirit medicines into a specially designed bag. These were bags Li Su prepared specifically for storing spirit medicines.

With his current cultivation and skill in artifact forging, Li Su could craft a Universe Ring capable of containing living beings. The method for crafting this Universe Ring came from an ancient book Li Su discovered in the Xuantian Academy.

The space inside wasn’t overly large but could accommodate living things. Once Li Su placed these spirit medicines inside the bag, they could continue growing. Li Su planned to take them back and replant them.

Each of these spirit medicines had its unique growth environment. With Li Su’s memory and knowledge of herbs, restoring their growth environment upon returning wouldn’t be a problem.

Seeing Li Su collecting the spirit medicines at an impressive pace, Yunyan began searching for other things. She was looking for spirit stone mines. Spirit stones were foundational resources and among the most crucial ones.

“This is indispensable.”

Spirit stone mines were generally hidden beneath mountain ranges. Even for Nascent Divinity experts, infiltrating the rocks with their divine sense was challenging. But Yunyan was prepared for this.

She possessed a special treasure that could be used to locate spirit stone mines. Finding all the spirit stone mines had its challenges, especially those redirected by spiritual veins and deeply buried underground, which could only be found by luck. However, some that were easier to locate could still be found.

Indeed, just half a month later, Yunyan had made some gains.

“Elder Li, let’s collect the spiritual items on this mountain first. There’s a spirit stone mine below,” Yunyan said.

“Okay.”

Li Su’s figure flickered and appeared in the sky above a massive mountain. His divine sense had already enveloped the entire mountain. Then, he began collecting the spiritual items here.

Besides spirit herbs and medicines, the spiritual items here also included some special items, such as a kind of millennium-dripping stone formed drop by drop from highly spiritual water over thousands of years. It resembled stalactites but was different, containing the essence of heaven and earth within it. This was the literal essence of heaven and earth.

Both heaven and earth were contained within it, which was highly beneficial for the body. Yunyan also pitched in.

After a few days, all the spiritual items on this high mountain had been completely collected by Li Su and Yunyan. Then, with a movement of Yunyan’s hands, in the sky, a massive scythe-like wind, seemingly composed of wind, fiercely descended.

She intended to split the mountain!

At that moment, the colossal mountain thunderously split apart under the force of this gigantic wind scythe.

The loud sound echoed incessantly.

Yunyan not only split the mountain but forcibly divided it into two halves. These two halves were even moving away from each other.

The collision shattered the surrounding mountains. At this moment, her immense strength as a Three-Decline Celestial was fully displayed. Li Su thus confirmed Yunyan’s primary cultivation—she likely specialized in wind-based martial techniques and arts. Her spiritual roots might also be wind-based.

Wind, intangible in its coming and going, soft as smoke, sharp as a blade. Her name seemed to be quite fitting. This mountain, one that even generations couldn’t move like the story of the foolish old man, was forcibly split open by Yunyan.

However, as soon as it was split open, suddenly, from beneath the divided mountain, a huge, lion-like monster roared fiercely and charged out.

My goodness, there was a monster hidden inside here.

No, certainly, this monster fed on this spirit stone mine, so when the mountain was split, it angered the creature. No wonder Li Su didn’t notice any other traces of monsters within thousands of miles. This place belonged to this creature.

This monstrous creature’s strength wasn’t weak, comparable to the peak of the Refinement Void Realm. Yunyan didn’t even blink. With a gentle hand movement, the ferocious monster charging at her burst into a mist of blood.

With a simple gesture, she acquired a monster core. This move was extraordinary. She effortlessly killed the monster and retained its core, displaying precise control over her strength.

As a formidable expert of the Three-Decline Celestial, Yunyan was undeniably powerful.

After dispatching the monster, Yunyan split the mountain until it opened completely.

She chose this method to save time, which consumed more energy but was much quicker. Subsequently, Li Su witnessed the spirit stone mine below after the successful mountain split.

This mine, though significantly diminished by the monster, remained formidable. Wielding the Hexagonal Sword, Li Su extracted the spirit stones from the mine. The oval-shaped spirit stone mine was several miles long, with better stones deeper within.

This massive mine likely contained tens of millions of spirit stones.

After collecting it, Yunyan and Li Su continued their search. Li Su focused on finding spirit herbs and medicines, while Yunyan sought more spirit stone mines.

Finding these mines proved challenging, even with Yunyan’s treasures, and mistakes were possible.

After splitting the mountain again, Yunyan made another error, as a colossal earth dragon had devoured the spirit stone mine below.

Surprisingly, the earth dragon choked to death after consuming everything. Li Su hadn’t witnessed such an event – an earth dragon comparable to Refinement Void Realm being choked to death.

Observing this, Li Su pondered the intelligence of the demonic beasts in the Small Spirit Realm compared to those in the Cultivation Realm.

The resources in the Small Spirit Realm were excellent. Even a pig placed there could become powerful over the years. However, the pig might not necessarily become very intelligent.

Li Su reflected on the difference between forcibly stacking resources and cultivating through hardships.

A month later, Yunyan found another location, and Li Su collected the spiritual objects while Yunyan opened the mountain.

This time, they didn’t encounter any demonic beasts, but Yunyan’s activity attracted a powerful demonic beast comparable to the Fusion level.

A human at the Fusion level could easily defeat it. The Small Spirit Realm was indeed dangerous, especially in the periphery. The Spirit Realm, though more difficult, offered better resources.

However, the Spirit Realm had its challenges – numerous terrifying creatures had consumed many spiritual objects, making them harder to find than in the Small Spirit Realm. Yunyan swiftly collected the spiritual stone mine, and the duo continued exploring the Small Spirit Realm.

After a year, they covered half of the periphery and proceeded in another direction.

Another year had passed.

In the periphery, there weren’t many exceptionally strong demonic beasts, the strongest were generally at the Fusion level.

However, there were some unknown dangers, such as certain special places where one’s true essence could unexpectedly be suppressed. These areas were similar to natural Feng Shui formations, and Li Su spent a lot of time studying them.

Over the two years, Li Su and Yunyan mainly focused on searching for treasures without much interaction.

“Senior Li, there’s still one year left. Shall we go inside?” said Yunyan.

“Okay.”

The remaining year would be used to explore the core area of the Small Spirit Realm. The gains from this trip were immense, with an abundance of spiritual stones even for Li Su’s over ten thousand spiritual descendants.

As they delved deeper, the demonic beasts they encountered became stronger. Yunyan effortlessly dealt with them, and Li Su didn’t need to intervene.

This place is not too dangerous. It seems like the Purple Gold Holy Land really wants to do us a favor, Li Su thought.

However, as he mentioned, a massive black snake appeared not far away.
