Chapter 566 Yin Stone
Li Qing learned that the Xiling Temple was probably located, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
Next, he continued to stay in the Wen Valley area and observed the process of the mortals in these villages digging Yin Stone.
In an excavation site near a dry valley, Li Qing still hid his figure, silently watching the mortals in Lianjiazhai ahead as they worked hard to dig out a pitted rock wall.
Clang!
A crisp sound suddenly resounded, and the mining pick wielded by one of them seemed to have yielded a harvest.
I saw a piece of black crystal falling from the sunken stone wall and landed in this person's hand.
Li Qing next to him narrowed his eyes, his eyes fixed on the strange ink-colored crystal.
If the prediction is correct, this dark-colored spar should be the so-called Yin Stone!
Because from that crystal stone, Li Qing sensed a trace of extremely pure Yin Qi.
Although it was very weak, it was extremely pure, far exceeding any kind of yin energy he had ever seen before. Even the power of Xuanyin that he had seen at the Zhuyue Festival could not compete with it.
“It’s just a little too weak, and it looks like it will dissipate at any time.”
“It would be different if a small number of people gathered into a large number!”
< br>“I don’t know what the use of so many feminine and soft things in this Xiling Temple is.”
In this way, the short day passed by in a hurry, and when night approached, these mortals in Lianjiazhai They all stopped working without any hesitation and quickly left this place with all the mined Yin Stone.
"It's time to go, it's time to go. The village has not been very quiet recently, so be careful on the road."
"I heard that Lian Feng has been in a daze since he came back at dawn. I can’t remember anything!”
“Did you bump into something dirty?”
“Keep your mouth shut, don’t say a few words, and hurry back to the village. ”
“.”
Naturally, this was talking about the man Li Qing captured yesterday. After asking about the relevant matters, Li Qing used his spiritual consciousness to erase the man's memory.
As for the reason for the confusion, it is probably because of this.
After everyone had left, Li Qing walked into the place where these people were mining Yin Stone.
As soon as he stepped in, he noticed an inexplicable coldness.
“The people who mine the Yin Stone are all mortals, and the efficiency is quite low. There are obviously many immortal cultivators in the Xiling Temple, so why not use the power of the cultivators to mine it?”
Li Qing had some doubts in his heart. He must know that even a practitioner in the Qi refining stage would definitely be much more efficient at mining Yin Stone!
In order to answer this question, Li Qing put his fingers together and planned to try mining it himself.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several sword-like sword-like true energy burst out, and the bumpy stone wall in front was cut into pieces like tofu, and a large number of stones fell.
Soon, black crystal stones fell out from it.
Without saying a word, Li Qing grabbed them out and captured these black crystals out of thin air.
The next moment, he noticed something was wrong!
As soon as he got the Yin Stone, he felt that his longevity had been slightly reduced!
This feeling is very similar to the feeling when he took two spiritual objects from the Yuehua River at the Moon-by-Moon Festival.
“Hiss, this thing will also cost a person’s life span?”
Li Qing was inexplicably surprised. Nowadays, he is quite sensitive to longevity. Even if it is just a little less, it will arouse his vigilance.
Looking at the dark crystal stone in his hand that contained the most yin and soft energy, Li Qing finally understood why the immortal cultivators did not participate in the mining of the yin stone, but let these inefficient mortals do the mining.
Relatively speaking, the lifespan of a monk is definitely far more valuable than the lifespan of a mortal.
"With these extremely dark things mined all year round, the mortals in these villages are probably lucky to be able to live to the age of forty." Li Qing couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that this is a spiritual world, not the so-called apocalyptic era! No matter how low the productivity is, as long as there is nourishment from thin spiritual energy, as long as there is no disease or disaster, it is generally not a problem for a mortal to live to the age of seventy or eighty.
It’s still unclear what the purpose of this yin thing is, but Li Qing no longer plans to continue mining.
He put these Yin stones into his storage bag and prepared to leave.
When he first arrived in the underworld, he always felt that there were some amazing secrets hidden in this dark and mysterious realm.
“Forget it, for now we still have to focus on finding Wu Chong and the others. If we can’t figure out other things, we can only put them down for the time being.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing, who was about to go to where more immortal cultivators gathered, stopped again.
In front of him, a faint figure emerged from the bumpy stone wall.
After seeing this strange figure, Li Qing's pupils suddenly shrank a bit.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other, and I actually saw a Yin spirit here!
“I have long heard that there are ghost cultivators in the underworld, could this be it?”
"It's a bit different. This Yin spirit is too dull and has no intelligence at all."
Li Qing squinted his eyes and muttered to himself.
According to the ghost cultivators he knew, although they did not have a physical body, they were at least as agile as a living person and could not be so dull.
Immediately afterwards, several more Yin spirits floated out from the bumpy stone walls.
These Yin spirits have different appearances, but they have one common characteristic, that is, they are very dull and lack any intelligence.
Not long after, the Yin Qi in the surrounding heaven and earth was attracted by these faint spirits, and then gathered towards the bumpy stone walls behind them.
Yin Qi gathered, and pieces of dark black crystals formed inside the stone wall. This is actually the origin of Yin Stone!
“Something interesting.”
As soon as Li Qing said these words, he was finally noticed by these Yin spirits.
Whoosh!
Several extremely illusory Yin spirits suddenly turned their heads and looked at the direction of Li Qing.
In an instant, these Yin spirits rushed towards Li Qing. It seemed that it was not a good thing.
"Looking for death! A mere Yin spirit, not even a ghost cultivator, dare to do harm to me?"
Li Qing snorted coldly, and a burst of brilliance emerged from his dark and deep eyes. of golden light.
In an instant, several bright blades of consciousness were slashed out of thin air.
Condensing Soul Slash!
The Yin spirits that rushed towards Li Qing were like weak pieces of paper, and were immediately chopped into pieces.
The fragmented spiritual consciousness dissipated in the air, and Li Qing's spiritual consciousness keenly captured some of them, and realized the identities of these spiritual entities.
These Yin spirits are indeed not ghost cultivators. They were just ordinary mortals during their lifetime, but they still had no peace after death. They turned into strange existences that attracted Yin energy and condensed Yin stones.
“It’s so sad that you can’t even have peace after death.”
"You have to mine Yin Stone while you are alive, and you have to produce Yin Stone after you die. There is really no end."
Li Qingchang exhaled, becoming even more fearful of this so-called underworld.
Logically speaking, with the weak souls of mortals, if there is no special encounter after death, it is impossible for a spirit body to remain in the world, and it will disappear immediately.
However, it is simply incredible that mortals who died in the underworld can still retain their spiritual bodies.
After figuring this out, Li Qing did not stop any longer and flew directly towards the direction of Xiling Temple.
