Walking back to the room, Yuanxiao was surprised to see the pile of spirit stone fragments that had been depleted of spiritual energy.
He did not expect that so many spirit stones would be needed for one cultivation. He absorbed 36 spirit stones but only reached the first level of Qi Refining.
As an inner sect disciple of the sect, he is only given three low-grade spirit stones a month. That is too stingy!
If Hai Qing, the leader of Yunhai Sect, heard this, he would probably vomit three liters of blood immediately. A sect has about 2,000 people, many of whom are elders and guests. They have to give out 7,000 to 8,000 spiritual stones every month, which is more than 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones a year.
Do you think our Yunhai Sect is a miner? Oh, I forgot, Yunhai Sect Xinshan Gate does have a vein to mine, and it was because of the discovery of a new vein that we moved.
But you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't run the household. The low-grade spiritual stone veins will eventually run out, and they are non-renewable resources. Do we have to move again after they are all mined? !
What Yuanxiao didn't know was that other disciples didn't practice like him. Most disciples practiced only once they got a spiritual stone. Even if they got several spiritual stones at a time, they would use them several times carefully.
Every time they used the spiritual stones, they made full preparations for fear of wasting a bit of spiritual energy. On days without spiritual stones, although they could still practice meditation and breathing, the effect of practice was very low because of the thin spiritual energy in the air.
Therefore, they could only eat meat during the period of each month when low-grade spiritual stones were distributed. They couldn't imagine a big dog owner like Yuanxiao.
After a night, Yuanxiao got up and stretched himself, feeling refreshed. In fact, after reaching a certain level, most people who practice immortality use meditation to replace sleep.
It is both a way of practicing and a way of resting. It is normal to meditate for several hours each time, or even ten days or half a month. If a great immortal is practicing in seclusion, it is possible to meditate for several months, years, or even decades at a time.
Yuanxiao has just started practicing immortality and still maintains the living habits of a mortal. For the time being, he will not use meditation to replace sleep.
After cleaning up the broken pieces of spiritual stones in the room, I buried them in the garden where I planted spiritual medicine outside.
This way, even if someone knew that I often went to the mine to pick up miscellaneous spiritual stones in the future, I would have a good explanation. Miscellaneous spiritual stones are used to improve the spiritual environment of the soil in the medicine garden.
The spiritual energy in the spiritual stones was absorbed by the herbs, so only dark gray spiritual stone residues were left. Then I would occasionally use the Apocalypse Pearl to soak some low-level gray-white spiritual liquid and water the land in the yard.
The spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines would naturally contain more spiritual energy, so it was these herbs that absorbed the spiritual energy of the miscellaneous spiritual stones and turned them into spiritual stone residues. This explanation is perfect! Yuan Xiao smiled cunningly.
Now I'll go to the mine to replenish some miscellaneous spirit stones. I used up a lot of spirit stones yesterday. Even if I'm a rich man like Yuanxiao, I still feel uneasy. Who knows how many spirit stones I'll need for cultivation later?
I'll be here for at least a year. I'll come here every now and then, sweeping out a few mines each time. I'll try to sweep out most of this mine in a year. This is another major task besides cultivation.
Walking to the edge of the square in the mine cave, Yuan Xiao found that after entering the first level of Qi Refining, his vision was better. Things in the dark were clearer than before, and he could see the general outline in the dark.
Even if he walked normally in the dark, he would not be tripped or bumped. But because he had to pick up miscellaneous spiritual stones, this level was not enough, and he still had to use the night pearl to prevent missing treasures.
Yuanxiao suddenly thought of the little golden mink, and decided to go find it this time. Now that he was staying in the spiritual medicine garden, he had his own base, and the spiritual medicine garden was closest to the mine, so it would be very convenient for them to visit each other.
