Chapter 894 – resting soil
The Earth Yin Cold Spring was an extremely peculiar type of vein. After it broke through the surface from the ground, it would not flow in all directions, nor cause the surrounding to become a lake.
Even though the Earth Yin Cold Spring itself was extremely cold and was one of the coldest things in the cultivation world, not only did it not freeze, it was instead only the size of a small pond because of the intense evaporation.
On the contrary, a cold region would often form around the Earth Yin Cold Spring, causing the water vapor in the surroundings to congeal into ice. It was just like the cave that Yang Junshan was in, which was completely surrounded by a thick layer of ice.
He did not expect that the encampment under the Jingyang Sect’s mountain gate would actually have sucreasured land. Unfortunately, it must have been such a secret leak that caused the alien Demonic Cultivator to covet it.
Yang Junshan was almost certain that the Earth Profound Spirit Qi existed below the Earth Yin Cold Spring, but he was currently conflicted. The best type of Yin Qi to cultivate the two filaments of dust was right before his eyes, but he just didn’t dare to cultivate it here.
This was the central region of the Demon Area. Forget about the fact that the alien Daofathers that were being pestered by the human Daofathers could return at any time, even the Alien Cultivator around the Demon Area would probably overcome the fear of the Dao Realm cultivators that had erupted from the center and rush here to investigate. Once Yang Junshan was trapped inside the Earth Yin Cold Spring, he wouldn’t need to leave this place anymore.
No matter what, he had to dive into the ground to find the Earth Miasma first!
By then, Yang Junshan had already recovered about 30% of the True Essence in his body, but Yang Junshan had already prepared to use up most of the True Essence that he had left, but after sinking down into the ground, he suddenly realised that the whole process seemed to be going smoothly, and even the True Essence in his body was almost depleted.
Without waiting for Yang Junshan to think about the reason, he felt nothing beneath his feet, and then his entire body fell down.
The bottom part was hollow!
Yang Junshan’s heart tightened as he activated True Essence to protect his entire body. With a flash of golden light, the Mountain Monarch Seal was already in his palm, but there were no movements from all four sides, so the danger he imagined did not appear.
At this time, Yang Junshan finally relaxed and looked around. He discovered that this place looked like a newly created underground stone room.
At the same time, Yang Junshan felt his entire body becoming heavy. Unlike the cold and damp energy he had felt before, this underground stone chamber was filled with less cold and sinister energy. Because of the existence of the Earth Yin Cold Spring, there was an additional layer of moisture that Yang Junshan was exceptionally familiar with.
The entire underground stone chamber was filled with thick Earth Yin turbid energy!
Yang Junshan immediately recognized that the aura that filled this place was the Earth Yin energy that he had been searching for.
It was just that although the Earth Yin turbid air was hidden underground, this underground stone chamber was clearly newly constructed. It seemed like it was deliberately channeling the Earth Yin turbid air into this stone chamber.
Yang Junshan’s gaze suddenly focused, he saw that at a corner of the stone room, there were many neatly piled up stones, and these stones had laid out a stone arm that was more than three feet long, just like the body of the Stone Demon that Yang Junshan had just obtained.
This was the Stone Demon’s severed right arm!
Yang Junshan was overjoyed, and kept all of the stones into his storage magic treasure. He was shocked to the point where he was sure that the underground stone chamber was opened by the Dao Realm Stone Demon, and he could even imagine that the Stone Demon had been hiding here the entire time.
When Ziyuan’s incarnation or another Daofather snuck in to try and figure out the reason behind the creation of the Demon Area, the Stone Demon suddenly rushed out from here.
The outcome of the battle afterwards should have been mutual destruction. Even though no one knew what happened to the infiltrating Daofather, it was clear that he had successfully retreated, while the Stone Demon’s right arm was broken.
It was at this time that Yang Junshan accidentally entered the area affected by the battle with the two Dao Realm cultivators due to the pursuit of Ouyang Peilin and the rest of the Demonic Cultivator s. The Stone Demon sensed the stone treasure on his body, but still placed the shattered stone arm back into the stone room before chasing after Yang Junshan.
Since he knew that this was the location of the Dao Realm Stone Demon, Yang Junshan didn’t even have time to think about how to gather the Earth Yin energy that filled the stone room.
Yang Junshan did not forget that after the fall of the Dao Realm Stone Demon, he did not find any storage treasures on the stone sculpture-like body.
This underground stone room was not big, with just a glance, Yang Junshan noticed a few abnormalities.
Shi Mu stomped his feet on the ground, causing the ground in the stone room to churn. A few piles of broken stones, stones, and powders surged up. At the same time, a few small caves appeared on the surrounding walls, filled with some things.
Yang Junshan frowned as he looked at the pile of items that rushed out from the ground. Inside the pile, there should be some spirit stones, high quality spirit mines and the rest that had their essence extracted, the Stone Demon should be cultivating through this method.
As for the few caves carved out on the wall, Yang Junshan walked over to take a look, they were originally all high quality ore and spirit materials, and more than a third of them were all precious spirit materials of treasure grade or higher. Even high quality spirit mines that were excavated every year by the Sunset Ridge’s large mining grounds were rare, and many of them were things that Yang Junshan did not recognize, so they were clearly spirit materials from outside this region.
What should this be, a food reserve?
Yang Junshan was not polite and kept all the ores. After he returned to the Western Mountain, he would hand them over to the clan members in the Artifact Forging Hall to handle.
After collecting all the different types of spirit ores within the stone cabinets, three glass-like stone boxes appeared in Yang Junshan’s hands.
Amongst all the high grade spirit mines that the Stone Demon had placed in the cupboard, the three items that the Stone Demon had treasured so that they wouldn’t appear in the glass box were clearly the Stone Demon’s treasured collections.
Yang Junshan’s eyes lit up when he opened the first stone box. Inside, there waiece of rock that looked rough, and only had a few lines on the surface. Yang Junshan found it extremely familiar, because Yang Junshan himself had a similar piece of rock, but his piece was not as complete as the one in front of him.
This was a Dao-Vein Stone, something that was said to be necessary foigh-grade treasure in the process of levelling up to daoyin apparatus, Yang Junshan now had two pieces in his hands!
Without saying a word, Yang Junshan placed this Dao-Vein Stone into his dantian, and together with the stone he had obtained previously, he placed it inside his dantian, and used his own True Essence to nourish it.
The first glass stone case had given Yang Junshan such a big surprise, and couldn’t wait to open the second stone case. A round stone with a clear burn mark on it and a hint of glass on the surface was placed inside.
Yang Junshan raised his eyebrows, he did not recognize this item, but he was sure that it was a meteorite that had fallen from the sky, so it should be an item from the foreign land. Seeing how serious the Stone Demon was collecting it, the quality should not be lower than the Dao Vein Stone, which also made Yang Junshan more excited for the treasure inside the third glass stone box.
However, when Yang Junshan opened the third stone box, his face was filled with astonishment. It was not some precious spirit stone or mineral, but was something like a inheritance jade plate.
Yang Junshan hesitated for a moment, then immersed his soul consciousness into the jade tablet to examine its contents.
The inheritance recorded in the inheritance jade plate was called the《 Earth Element Art》, and its contents were not the cultivation method or the mysterious technique, but rather a map that introduced all kinds of earth type treasures in the cultivation world. It detailed the names, quality, characteristics, uses of all kinds of earth type items, as well as the places where they were once produced or wherever they might appear, and it even had a precise map for people to look at and admire.
Yang Junshan roughly looked through it and realized that the Earth Elemental Treasures he knew were not even a quarter of the treasures recorded in this legacy, and many of the things recorded were basically things from outside this region. Among them, Yang Junshan had also seen the Wutu Essence Stone, Heavenly Yellow Spirit Stone, Magnetic Noxious Essence Stone and other familiar low level Earth Elemental Spiritual Objects. There were also Earth Core Essence Stone, Mountain Suppression Stone, Star Core and other high level Spirit Objects.
Furthermore, through the introduction, Yang Junshan also learned that the Heaven Mud and the Heaven Mending Rocks were originally one entity. However, after the Heaven Mending Rocks went through weathering, corrosion, wearing and other methods, they became fine powder and became Heaven Mending Rocks. Because the Heaven Mud was mixed with other miscellaneous items and was no longer pure, its quality was no longer as good as the Heaven Mending Rocks and Earth Traversing Treasures.
When Yang Junshan saw this ranking, he was still surprised. He thought that when the Stone Demon saw the mace, she had directly called it the “Heaven Mending Rocks”, and with the Dao Realm Stone Demon’s eyesight, it shouldn’t be a mistake to ask them to use the Heaven Mending Mud to repair the crack. With such a good effect, Yang Junshan could almost determine that the Heaven Mending Rocks were actually made from the Heaven Mending Rocks themselves.
Yang Junshan was slightly disappointed, but unexpectedly, the pangolin had already appeared on his shoulder at some point in time, causing Yang Junshan to be greatly dissatisfied: “Don’t you think that the records for the last eighteen Earth Elemental Treasures started from the lowest quality?”
Yang Junshan’s expression froze for a moment, and then he suddenly realised, these eighteen types of Earth Elemental Treasures were recorded in the record, the later the more valuable they were, and he quickly skimmed through them, assuming that the higher one’s rank was, the higher one’s rank would be. In other words, if the quality of these eighteen types of Earth Elemental Treasures were ranked from high to low, the Heaven Mending Stone should be ranked fifth, the Earth Elemental Treasure.
Yang Junshan embarrassedly touched his chin and immediately changed the topic: “Is your original body really refined from Heaven Mending Rocks?”
The pangolin said impatiently, “Cut the crap. What exactly is the number one Earth Elemental Treasure?”
Yang Junshan “Hehe” laughed, and continued to look through the map written on the jade board. When he arrived at the last page, Yang Junshan was slightly startled, but Pangolin had already called out: “resting soil? “This isn’t, this isn’t that piece …”
Yang Junshan frantically rummaged through his spatial ring before finally finding the tattered lump of dirt that he had left in the midst of all the mess. He didn’t even know which corner of the storage space it was placed in, and it was almost thrown to the back of his mind.
Looking at the gray dirt that was not much bigger than a thumb and then looking at the resting soil recorded in the map, Yang Junshan and Pangolin looked at each other suspiciously and said at the same time, “resting soil? Earth Elemental Treasures? Known as the Mother of the Earth? That’s it? ”
