Chapter 247: Ten Billion High-Quality Immortal Essence Stones
The moment Li Xiaojun arrived at the cave, he quickly concealed himself in space.
His divine sense observed the Venerable Buddhist practitioner stationed at the immortal essence stone vein in the Golden Immortal Realm.
After watching for a while, Li Xiaojun sighed with relief.
It was clear that he had just teleported and had not been detected by the Venerable.
Since that was the case, Li Xiaojun naturally did not hold back.
Soon, Li Xiaojun disguised himself as a member of the beast tribe mining in the tunnel.
After sealing off a tunnel with formations, Li Xiaojun became a miner.
He had to admit that the rocks in the high-quality immortal essence stone vein were incredibly hard, at least a hundred times harder than those in the low-grade immortal essence stone vein.
Fortunately, Li Xiaojun was in the Heavenly Immortal realm; no matter how tough the rock layers were, his mining speed was faster than everyone else in the mining site.
Moreover, he possessed a high-quality mining immortal tool specifically forged for his second daughter, Li Yufei, by her master.
Under these circumstances, Li Xiaojun’s mining speed increased even more.
A day and a night passed, and Li Xiaojun mined over thirty thousand high-quality immortal essence stones in the tunnel.
At this rate, he could mine nine hundred thousand high-quality immortal essence stones in a month and over ten million in a year.
In just one hundred years, he could gather one billion high-quality immortal essence stones, allowing the system to upgrade again.
He speculated that after the system upgrade, he would be able to teleport to his children.
With such an effect, he could return to the Cultivation Alliance at any time, even travel to the Immortal Realm, and spread positive energy to various worlds.
With this thought in mind, Li Xiaojun decided to remain in the high-quality immortal essence stone vein.
Half a month later, Li Xiaojun suddenly discovered that his divine sense could penetrate over a hundred meters into the vein.
Simultaneously, with the system’s ability to collect nearby items, he could directly use the system space to retrieve the immortal essence stones he detected with his divine sense in the rock layers of the vein.
Moreover, with his space rules, he could directly pass through the rock layers of the vein and teleport to where his divine sense covered.
Under these conditions, he only needed to dig out a space large enough for a person a little over a hundred meters into the rock layers, enabling him to teleport into the space.
In such circumstances, Li Xiaojun no longer needed to mine manually; he just had to use his divine sense in conjunction with the system space to collect the immortal essence stones and then teleport to a point one hundred meters within the rock layers to collect the stones again.
With this method, Li Xiaojun’s speed in obtaining high-quality immortal essence stones was astonishing.
In just one day, he mined through a branch of the immortal essence stone vein, collecting nearly eight million high-quality immortal essence stones.
Furthermore, he mined through a branch without alerting anyone.
If someone came later to mine this branch and found no immortal essence stones, they would simply think that the branch was empty.
Discovering that he could operate like this kept Li Xiaojun excited.
From then on, Li Xiaojun used this approach every day to obtain immortal essence stones.
Once he became proficient, he even reached a daily collection of several million high-quality immortal essence stones.
After a month, Li Xiaojun had gathered over three hundred million immortal essence stones.
After more than three months, Li Xiaojun accumulated enough high-quality immortal essence stones to upgrade his system: one billion stones.
Of course, this is not the end.
After finally arriving at the immortal essence stone vein, Li Xiaojun would not return until he had fully harvested it.
One year later, the number of high-quality immortal essence stones Li Xiaojun obtained reached an astonishing forty billion.
Two years later, he collected over eighty billion high-quality immortal essence stones.
Another six months passed, and his total climbed to over one hundred billion high-quality immortal essence stones.
After Li Xiaojun crazily mined more than one hundred billion high-quality immortal essence stones, the stock in the entire high-quality immortal essence stone vein became scarce, with only a few billion stones remaining.
Moreover, the decrease in the stock of high-quality immortal essence stones caught the attention of the Golden Immortal stationed at the vein.
To avoid unnecessary complications, Li Xiaojun decided to activate the secret realm mark and then leave the Xumi Mountain Secret Realm.
"Whoo!"
Finally leaving the secret realm brought a sigh of relief from Li Xiaojun.
Although his understanding of one percent of the space rules allowed him to leave the secret realm without the Golden Immortal stopping him, he still felt anxious daily when faced with someone three realms higher than himself.
Now that he had left the secret realm, he no longer had to worry.
If that Golden Immortal appeared on Earth, even if Li Xiaojun understood ten percent of the space rules, he would not escape the pursuit of the Golden Immortal.
His one percent understanding only prevented the Golden Immortal from stopping him from activating the mark to leave the secret realm.
Without any understanding of the space rules, if he was discovered, he might not have time to activate the mark before being stopped by the Golden Immortal, making it impossible for him to leave the secret realm.
After returning to Earth, Li Xiaojun thought about spreading positive energy. He had to continue spreading positive energy.
So next, Li Xiaojun inquired about which secret realm had more humans and chose that realm.
Qingxu Dongtian.
The moment Li Xiaojun’s figure appeared in the secret realm, he hid himself in the void.
At the same time, he released his divine sense.
Fortunately, he randomly appeared in the secret realm and did not show up on an eye-catching altar.
Soon, Li Xiaojun captured a member of the Great Ascension Beast Tribe.
Soul Searching.
After a thorough soul search, Li Xiaojun gained considerable insight into the Qingxu Dongtian secret realm.
There were no native inhabitants in Qingxu Dongtian; all the tribes present were from the outside world.
This meant that everyone in this secret realm had been teleported in from various star systems throughout the universe.
Almost everyone possessed secret realm marks.
Even babies born in the secret realm had the same marks as their mothers.
Once activated, these marks would allow them to return to the world their mothers inhabited.
Through his divine sense scan, Li Xiaojun discovered that the competition among various tribes in this secret realm was fierce.
Frequent battles occurred between many tribes.
Fortunately, there was no distinction between humans and beast tribes here.
Among the tribes, humans were just one of the top ten major tribes.
The strongest tribe in this secret realm was the Flood Dragon Tribe, which evolved from snake demons.
Next was the Peacock Tribe; it was said that peacocks were descendants of the Qing Luan and even the Phoenix, and that after cultivating to become immortals, they could transform into Qing Luan.
If they cultivated to the Golden Immortal stage, they could transform into Zhuque, and if they reached the quasi-saint level, they might even evolve into true phoenixes.
Apart from the Flood Dragon Tribe and the Peacock Tribe, there were also the Heavenly Tiger Tribe, Divine Deer Tribe, Star Beast Tribe, and others.
Humans could only rank sixth in this secret realm.
Since various tribes sought benefits in the secret realm, wars frequently erupted among them.
Of course, Li Xiaojun did not care about the wars within the secret realm; he was more concerned with spreading positive energy.
His cultivation speed and the effectiveness of spreading positive energy were crucially linked.
At present, he lacked nothing except for an abundance of system energy value.
Therefore, he was not worried about having too many bloodline descendants leading to insufficient system energy value.
