Chapter 1027: 995: Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint, Medium Spirit Stone Vein
Three Divinity Transformation Stage demon beasts, the Li Fire Demon Saint and the Cyan Pupil Demon Saint are not easy to deal with. It’s not just about killing them to calm things down.
These two Demon Saints also have connections and backing. It’s very likely that if you hit the young ones, the old ones will come. It’s impossible to completely eradicate them in a short time.
The ability to occupy a Tier Seven Spiritual Vein for so many years, continually ruling a region and commanding the winds and rains, naturally means their strength is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
Lastly, the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint, Lu Ping looked closely, was the weakest, at the Divinity Transformation Stage Second Layer.
The Void Celestial Extreme Saint carefully evaluated and chose the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint, speaking slowly.
“We don’t have to worry about the Cyan Pupil and Li Fire Demon Saints, there will be others to deal with them in the future, for now, it’s only the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint left.”
“This Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint is originally a White-winged Heaven-devouring Beast, with Divinity Transformation Second Layer strength, and has been occupying Li Mountain for over fifteen hundred years, accompanied by not many demon beasts, less than thirty thousand in number.”
“With your strength, coupled with the assistance of the Infinite Celestial Fire Map, there’s some chance of victory against this Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint. If you really need help, I can assist a little as well.”
The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s strength is at the Divinity Transformation Stage Fourth Layer, sufficient to deal with the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint.
However, considering giving Lu Ping some experience, he thought it best to let Lu Ping try first.
Lu Ping naturally understood the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s intentions.
Having already entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, he couldn’t always rely on the Void Celestial Extreme Saint, otherwise, how would he improve his cultivation and accumulate experience in battling creatures of the same tier?
A greenhouse cannot cultivate a strong warrior.
“Alright, as you said, let’s go after the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint.”
Lu Ping said with a slight smile.
Li Mountain, where the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint resides, is located in the eastern region from the geographical perspective of Central Yunzhou, with no cities or markets within a thousand miles around.
The situation surrounding Li Mountain is such precisely because the Mountain-Swallowing Demon Saint occupies it, and neither cultivators nor mortals dare to cultivate or live near it.
In the latest map of Central Yunzhou, Li Mountain is marked as a forbidden zone, even Nascent Soul Cultivators dare not set foot in it, choosing to detour instead.
The area within a thousand miles of Li Mountain is sparsely populated and filled with forests, but these are not the problem.
Once the sect branches are established later, developing the surrounding economy will be quite simple.
After settling on the target, it was time to start preparing.
To deal with a Divinity Transformation Stage demon beast, Lu Ping decided to be cautious. After bidding farewell to the Void Celestial Extreme Saint and returning to his cave mansion in Shuanghu Mountain, he opened the System Mall.
Having been exploring [Sect Affairs] over the years, frequently posting in the sect’s Merit Hall, he had accumulated more than thirty-five thousand reputation points, gradually earned from the initial few thousand points.
Upon opening the system, a dialogue box popped up.
[Triggered Sect’s Fortune, Song Minghui discovered a Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore in the Qingli Sea Kui Star Islands, reaching a medium scale, expected to be mineable for two hundred years, the sect is preparing to seize this Spirit Stone Ore…]
It continued with over a hundred words of text.
The gist is that there is a group of Cyan-eyed Demon Apes lingering around this Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore, these demon beasts have reached Tier Three Lower Grade level, with some intelligence, and are adept at group combat.
Due to racial advantages, the strength of the Cyan-eyed Demon Apes far exceeds that of same-tier demon beasts, with some even able to use magical artifacts and engage in deceitful ambushes.
“Cyan-eyed Demon Apes, Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore, this must be the effect of the six-star Sect’s Fortune activating,”
Lu Ping’s expression changed, recalling that he had previously exchanged an item [Six-Star Sect’s Fortune] from the System Mall.
Its effect is essentially to increase the chance of the sect encountering fortuitous opportunities by 50%, with specific outcomes depending on luck.
Now, with its effect activated, discovering a Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore is quite a nice result.
The classification of ore vein levels is divided into micro, small, medium, large, and super-large five categories.
The mining years for these five levels correspond to ten years, fifty years, two hundred years, five hundred years, and a thousand-plus years respectively.
The mining years of the vein would approximately fluctuate within this range.
The Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore discovered by Song Minghui reached a medium scale, so it can be mined for about two hundred years.
The storage volume here is quite significant, enough for the Cyan Mountain Sect to mine over a billion spirit stones and enhance sect foundations.
Even the discovery of a micro-sized Spirit Stone Ore would attract interest from not only Qi Refining Clans and small sects but even crystallization clans and top forces in a state.
Acquiring a Spirit Stone Ore is like acquiring a treasury of Spirit Stones, which is much more convenient and highly profitable than establishing other industries to earn Spirit Stones.
Given the strength of the Cyan Mountain Sect, a Divinity Transformation Sect, acquiring this Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore is rather simple.
Once word is out, ignoring the Central Ancestral Realm, no force dares to compete with the Cyan Mountain Sect.
Even if forces from the Central Ancestral Realm are interested in this Tier Three Spirit Stone Ore, their hands are tied due to the vast distance.
So now Lu Ping is not worried about anyone else battling the Cyan Mountain Sect for this, nor does he have to concern himself over it.
To handle a group of Cyan-eyed Demon Apes, Song Minghui alone would be enough, let alone having the Cyan Mountain Sect step in to clear them out.
Having considered this, Lu Ping opened the System Mall and began refreshing to see if he could find some good items.
He started with fifty continuous refreshes, with the System Mall interface rapidly changing, showing new items, mostly of Five-Star and Six-Star levels.
Two Seven-Star items appeared, namely [Seven-Star Great Luck Equal to Heaven] and [Seven-Star Divine Soldiers Descending from Heaven].
Just by looking at the names, Lu Ping could roughly guess the effects.
Opening each to view the details, they appeared.
[Great Luck Equal to Heaven – Seven-Star]
[Effect: Single sect member usage, upon use, gain a 70% fortune blessing effect, sustaining for fifty years]
[Reputation: 12000]
…
[Divine Soldiers Descending from Heaven – Seven-Star]
[Effect: Temporarily obtain three divine soldiers comparable to the peak combat power of the Nascent Soul Stage, effect lasting for one hour, single-use item]
[Reputation: 9000]
…
The effects of these two Seven-Star items are noteworthy; every Cyan Mountain Sect member can receive the Great Luck Equal to Heaven effect’s blessing, naturally applicable to Lu Ping himself.
The second item is also for sect members.
However, this effect is activated from Lu Ping’s end and requires him to designate the user, similar to triggering a system spirit talisman.
Considering whether to exchange for these, seeing that he had only a little over thirty thousand reputation points, Lu Ping exchanged for [Seven-Star Great Luck Equal to Heaven], applying its effect to himself.
Most of the remaining Five-Star and Six-Star items can be used for the entire sect, such as [Five-Star Harmonious Atmosphere] and [Six-Star Mutual Assistance and Benefit], among others.𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
