Chapter 576 Spirit Stone Vein!
"It's all thanks to Your Majesty's excellent teaching! I will work even harder!"
Hearing Cangnian praise her so highly, the little sable's eyes sparkled; she couldn't be happier.
"By the way, the remains of the banyan tree should have been transported to the surface, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian nodded with satisfaction and then asked.
"Yes! They've all been delivered to the ground!"
Yichen and the others saw it, they'll definitely protect it well!
The little sable nodded in response.
"Now that the crisis is finally over, it's time to reap the spoils!"
Cangnian trusted the little sable very much; it was just a casual question.
Hearing that there were no problems, he was completely relieved and then looked at the rock wall to the side.
At this moment, scattered spirit stones are still exposed on the rock face, emitting a soft, warm glow.
And among these warm rays of light, there are also traces of dark gold reflecting color.
As he watched, Cangnian walked closer and gently touched a spirit stone with his paw.
These spirit stones are not very large; most are only the size of an adult's fist, a few are the size of a human head, and only a very few are the size of a millstone.
These millstone-sized spirit stones are the main source of the light emanating from this cave.
Looking around again, Cang Nian discovered that the rock wall was actually full of pits and depressions, some as big as a fist, some as big as a human head, and some as big as a millstone.
Without a doubt, these marks indicate that there were spirit stones there before, but the banyan tree itself took them for cultivation.
Now, the entire cave is surrounded by only this one rock wall, with spirit stones embedded in it. It is unknown how much of the spirit stone vein is inside after removing this layer.
Cang Nian was slightly relieved when he gently rubbed the spirit stone with his claws and there was no reaction.
This thing shouldn't be something that explodes at the slightest touch...
So, Cangnian became a little bolder, and with his claw blade, he stabbed into the crevice between the edge of the spirit stone and the rock wall, and then gently pried it open.
Jingle bell bell~!
Then, a spirit stone the size of a millstone was pried off the rock wall by Cangnian and fell to the ground, echoing clearly and melodiously from the depths of the earth.
Seeing that the spirit stone had not been broken, Cang Nian picked it up with his claws and then tried to use his divine sense to examine the inside of the spirit stone.
The next instant, Cang Nian sensed that this millstone-sized spirit stone contained extremely pure spiritual energy, which was even more condensed than naturally occurring spiritual energy.
Moreover, the total amount of spiritual energy contained within it is only slightly less than the total amount of one's own spiritual power!
"This one spirit stone is equivalent to the total spiritual power of a fifth-order evolved creature."
The essence of evolution is actually to expand one's own Qi Sea until a critical point is reached. After breaking through the shackles, the next stage of evolution begins.
Whether it's directly consuming evolution factors, eating the flesh and blood of other evolved creatures, or naturally breathing in spiritual energy and refining it into one's own spiritual power, the goal is the same.
Then use this spirit stone to refine the spiritual energy within it into your own spiritual power.
It's like taking the natural spiritual energy as an example, but skipping the process of gathering spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy is easier to refine.
Therefore, its speed is hundreds or thousands of times faster than unconsciously breathing in natural spiritual energy for cultivation!
No wonder that even a giant plant like the banyan tree could evolve to the fifth stage so early.
Even if there are losses during the refining process, one is far from enough to allow a fourth-order evolved creature to break through to the fifth order.
A few more, a dozen or so, should be enough, it just will take a little time.
However, it's only slower than directly consuming fifth-tier blood essence, but much faster than eating a fourth-tier evolved creature.
Sensing the pure spiritual energy within the spirit stone, Cang Nian could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
I originally thought the gains wouldn't be much.
As a result, this was a huge surprise for me!
On this rock wall alone, there are over a hundred spirit stones the size of millstones, enough to nurture several fifth-tier cultivators!
If you go a little further in and there's even more, then you'll make a killing!
Thinking of this, Cang Nian couldn't help but probe his spiritual power into the spirit stone, activate the spiritual energy within, and try to absorb it himself.
Sure enough, the spiritual energy within was extremely pure and quite gentle.
Compared to naturally breathing in spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in this spirit stone has very little impact on the meridians when recovering.
This is crucial!
If it were like the spiritual energy that permeates the air, an evolved creature could at most refine and consume spiritual energy ten or fifteen times in a short period of time before it could no longer continue cultivating.
The spiritual energy within these spirit stones does not have such limitations, or rather, the limitations are even smaller. It might take dozens or even hundreds of times before there is a possibility of damage to the meridians.
That's naturally much faster than cultivating by breathing in natural spiritual energy.
"It's a pity that the spiritual energy wasn't impactful enough for me."
Even if you use up ten spirit stones the size of millstones, it won't be as good as eating half a fifth-tier evolved creature.
Even if you provide me with everything, it's unrealistic to expect me to become much stronger.
But then, Cangnian sighed with regret.
This is exactly the same as what the banyan tree said before it died.
These spirit stones help evolved creatures below the fifth rank break through to the fifth rank with astonishing speed.
However, efficiency drops significantly at the fifth rank.
However, Cangnian quickly came to terms with it.
If these spirit stones were still of great use to fifth-order evolved creatures, the banyan tree wouldn't have kept them; it would have used them all.
Cang Nian estimated that after discovering this spirit stone vein, the banyan tree first focused on advancing to the fifth rank. After reaching the fifth rank, it realized that this thing was not very useful, so it began to cultivate evolved creatures to enslave.
Otherwise, even without banyan trees, this area would not be able to support the coexistence of three fifth-tier evolved creatures: a fifth-tier cobra, a fifth-tier eagle owl, and a fifth-tier bee.
Those fourth-tier bees were probably fed with scraps of spirit stones the size of a fist or a human head.
Cang Nian sensed it briefly and found that the total amount of spiritual energy contained in those fist-sized and head-sized spirit stones was equivalent to the total spiritual power of third- and fourth-tier evolved creatures, respectively.
As for the quality of the spiritual energy within, it is somewhat inferior to that of the millstone-sized spirit stones, and is probably just a derivative of those millstone-sized spirit stones.
If you want to use these small spirit stones on this rock wall to cultivate a fifth-order evolved creature, it would be difficult to even pile up enough to create one fifth-order creature.
"These can be used by the third-tier members of the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as those fourth-tier evolvers and evolved creatures who are still far from the fifth tier."
This will also significantly improve overall combat strength.
Thinking of this, Cang Nian rubbed his chin with his paw, already planning how to make good use of this windfall.
