Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 93: Spirit Stone Vein

The Tianzhou ship stayed in the sky above the ocean for ten days.

According to the plundering plan formulated by Mu Yinghua and the elders, dozens of designated resource collection sites were scattered in different areas of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. These sites produced extremely scarce resources or resources with high demand in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

In each region, Qin Muling and the elders would stay for one to several days to ensure efficient resource collection and avoid the dangers that may arise from acting separately. Of course, due to the abundance of rare resources in the depths of the ocean, the Tianzhou ship stayed here for a few extra days.

"...Alright, little junior brother, go and come back quickly."

With the crisp voice of the loli elder, more than three thousand large-capacity spatial Law Weapons poured onto the spacious deck, forming a shining small mountain.

Qin Muling agreed and waved his hand to collect the pile of Law Weapons into his spatial storage, then disappeared from the spot.

Mu Yinghua had managed to gather all the unused large-capacity spatial Law Weapons in the sect, even temporarily requisitioning many of the personal Law Weapons of the elders. Later, she secretly sent trusted subordinates to purchase them at high prices from the super chambers of commerce and markets in the Extreme Void Starry Sky.

Therefore, Qin Muling now carried over three thousand spatial Law Weapons each time he went back and forth, which could basically fill his internal space.

Inside the Cave Mansion of the sect's head, Qin Muling opened his eyes again, quickly greeted Mu Yinghua, poured out all the spatial Law Weapons, and then collected the empty three thousand-plus spatial Law Weapons into his internal space before reentering the Illusory Mist Secret Realm.

Time was pressing, so both the master and disciple were not in the mood to say much. They would have plenty of opportunities to confide in each other after the secret realm closed.

"Alright, follow me."

A splendid virtual image appeared from Mu Yinghua and then solidified into her appearance. This was her split spiritual avatar.

With a wave of her sleeves, the split avatar rolled up all the filled spatial Law Weapons and, accompanied by the elders, left the Cave Mansion, moving through space to the Grotto-Heaven secret realm where the sect's resources were stored. As for Mu Yinghua's main body, it remained in the Cave Mansion, guarding Qin Muling's safety without leaving his side.

This Grotto-Heaven secret realm was extremely large, with a space of over a hundred thousand li, and it was already half full. The various resources stored inside were always kept as strategic reserves and were not usually used unless there was a large-scale war.

Mu Yinghua's split avatar put down the spatial Law Weapons, and the elders approached and dumped the resources out in batches, then classified and piled them up in specific areas.

With the elders' great divine abilities, everything was completed very quickly. By the time all the spatial Law Weapons were emptied, only a little over two hours had passed.

Qin Muling returned from the Illusory Mist Secret Realm three times a day, so he had plenty of time.

Looking at the hundreds of miles high spirit stone peaks nearby, Mu Yinghua's split avatar sighed softly, "Since the end of the catastrophe ten thousand years ago, there have been very few resources left here. I never expected that there would be a day when it would be filled again. Qin Muling has indeed made great contributions to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace."

The Dan Hall's Lord, Yun Miao Immortal Lord, smiled and said, "This is only the first Grotto-Heaven secret realm. With Qin Muling, the remaining ones will also be filled soon. At that time, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace will at least surpass its peak period from ten thousand years ago in terms of resource reserves."

The Lord of the Law Enforcement Hall, Feng Hua Immortal Lord, nodded gently, "That's right, but it's not a matter of one or two days to turn resources into strength. In the future, we must strive to obtain a certain period of peaceful development for the sect."

Mu Yinghua's split avatar asked, "How many years would be appropriate?"

"At least a hundred years. If we can have three to five hundred years, it would be even better."

Yun Miao Immortal Lord said, and the world of high-level cultivators was different from that of mortals. A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye for those at the Immortal Transformation and Immortal Ascension realms. Strong cultivators at that level could spend decades or even hundreds of years in seclusion.

To refine a furnace of high-quality pills or create a good Law Treasure, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years. So, five hundred years was not considered long.

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible to strive for."

Mu Yinghua's split avatar pondered. This period of peace was not only for the sect but also for Qin Muling. With his growth speed as a closed-door disciple, perhaps a hundred years would be enough for him to reach the Destiny Realm, and it was entirely possible for him to surpass several senior sisters and become the number one among the new generation of disciples within five hundred years.

Feng Hua Immortal Lord said, "It seems that we need to adjust the plan we made before. Since we have a better choice now, we can postpone the action to recover some lost territories and avoid provoking the surrounding forces. We can consider it when the sect's strength has further recovered."

Mu Yinghua's split avatar nodded, "Alright, plans can't keep up with changes. Let's leave it like this for now. After all, we have endured for ten thousand years. We can endure for a few hundred more."

With abundant resources as a backing and sufficient time for peaceful development, the rapid recovery of the sect's strength would be a matter of course.

If Qin Muling's appearance only made the high-level members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace see the possibility of the sect's revival, the continuous influx of abundant resources now clearly presents this glorious prospect before their eyes, making them unable to contain their excitement and restlessness.

In the Illusory Mist Secret Realm.

The celestial ship in the sky over the ocean changed direction and slowly accelerated towards the south, soon turning into a streak of light disappearing at the end of the horizon.

"Sister Senior, where are we going now?"

"To a place called the Fiery Continent. There are many high-grade giant spirit stone veins there. If we're lucky, we might even find spirit crystal veins. That way, we'll make a big profit."

Xue Bingxuan examined the magical projection map in front of her. It was a compilation of information accumulated over countless years by successive elder disciples exploring the vast world of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm. Although it couldn't be called complete, it was still accurate for the areas they had already set foot in.

Qin Muling pondered. Spirit stones are an important foundation for the Body Refining cultivation system in the Extreme Void Starry Sky. Cultivators cannot do without this resource, just like the significance of oil and natural gas to human civilization in the previous life. Spirit stones, and even higher-grade spirit crystals, are the energy sources of the cultivation world, the true hard currency.

Arranging formations, refining Law Treasures, cultivating and healing injuries, and even activating Law Treasure Divine Abilities all require spirit stones and spirit crystals. Without these things, the foundation of the entire cultivation system would collapse by half.

"Do we have enough spirit stones and spirit crystals in the sect's reserves?"

"Not a lot, but barely enough," Luo Wanqing pulled Qin Muling's arm and hugged her tightly, gently explaining, "The spirit stone veins within the sect's controlled territory are relatively abundant, although the quality is not very good. In addition, we can also purchase some from other sects. Of course, this is only during peacetime. Once the sect faces a large-scale war in the future, the channels for external purchases may be cut off, so we must be prepared."

"In that case, we should be able to solve the problem this time."

Qin Muling had a rough idea in her mind. Spirit medicine is equivalent to food in the secular world, while spirit stones are equivalent to energy sources. Both are indispensable. As long as this trip goes smoothly, it won't be a problem to increase the sect's strategic reserves by thousands of years.

Beside her, Yu Lingzhou smiled and said, "If we can discover a sufficient number of Supreme Grade spirit crystal veins and transport them back, we can set up some special formations that consume a tremendous amount of energy. This will help repair those damaged sect treasures. It all depends on your performance, Junior Brother."

The elegant and graceful Heavenly Lord Yueyi glanced at Luo Wanqing, who was almost hanging on Qin Muling, and sighed softly. He gave Luo Huan a resentful look, as if to say, "Why is this girl so disappointing?"

Luo Huan felt somewhat aggrieved in her heart. The other party clearly arrived first and had the advantage of being there first. What could I do?

The celestial ship flew swiftly, occasionally using spatial teleportation, covering billions of miles in the blink of an eye. Although it was quite exhausting, it was not a problem at all.

After several hours of rushing, the scenery below gradually changed. Endless plains, hills, swamps, lakes, and forests flashed by, and finally, a towering and vast mountain range appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Xue Bingxuan said, "We should have arrived. Junior Brother, why don't you calculate and determine the most suitable place to start?"

Qin Muling nodded, took out a tortoise shell jade talisman and placed it on the table. He silently calculated, using his profound skills and consuming mental energy.

After a while, the feedback from his calculations gave him about eighty to ninety percent certainty. He raised his hand and lightly pointed on the map, saying, "It should be in this area. If I'm not mistaken, there might be high-quality spirit stone deposits beneath the entire mountain range. The elders will have to work hard from here on."

Heavenly Lord Yueyi smiled gently, "No worries. For the sect, this is our duty."

Before long, the celestial ship arrived at the designated location. On the vast land, a majestic mountain range stretched for millions of miles, resembling an ancient dragon. The rich spiritual energy of the heavens and earth was attracted to the mountain range, forming layers of colorful clouds that enveloped the surface of the mountains, creating a magnificent sight from afar.

Yu Lingzhou took the lead and left the celestial ship. She looked at the mountains below and waved her small hand. The surrounding spiritual energy surged madly, condensing into a giant green palm with a radius of over a hundred miles, grabbing and sweeping away the vegetation and rocks on the surface of the towering peaks. They were blown away by the violent airflow and scattered into the distance.

In just a few moments, a blue vein of light, shimmering with spiritual energy like water, appeared in front of the female cultivators. The surface of the vein was crystal clear and almost free of impurities, indicating the high quality of this spirit stone vein.

Yu Lingzhou exclaimed in a low voice, "Unbelievable! Such an enormous spirit stone deposit is rarely seen in the current Extreme Void Starry Sky!"

The elders deeply agreed. In the ancient era of immortality, resources were abundant, and the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth was extremely rich. Such veins were not uncommon. However, it was no longer the case now.

"Alright, let's get to work and move this entire mountain range back!"
