Chapter 1259: Chapter 655: News of the Spirit Stone Mine Vein_2
Sensing such a reaction within his Qi-blood seemed to be telling him of his body’s craving for the Bixue Fruit.
At this moment, Lin Tianming looked at the Bixue Fruit in his hand, not intending to waste any time.
Currently, time was extremely pressing for him, he urgently needed to enhance his own strength to safely withdraw from the upcoming battle and protect his companions.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming swallowed the Bixue Fruit in one gulp.
Soon, as the Bixue Fruit entered his body, Lin Tianming felt a special taste emanating, accompanied by a strong and domineering energy spreading rapidly.
In just less than a few breaths, Lin Tianming felt a considerable amount of energy within his body.
Once this energy appeared, it began to wildly surge through his body, turning chaotic in the blink of an eye.
Simultaneously, a sharp pain rushed into his mind, affecting every nerve and part of his body.
For a moment, sweat as large as beads continuously dripped down from Lin Tianming’s forehead like raindrops, evaporating quickly upon hitting the ground.
At this moment, Lin Tianming gritted his teeth tightly to remain conscious.
And as the volatile energy spread, he quickly activated his cultivation technique, gathering this energy together before starting to refine it.
With the transformation of the first trace of energy, Lin Tianming felt his meridians expanding, and the organs and bones in his body began to undergo various degrees of change.
Even the skin on his body surface began to slightly harden.
Although these changes were faint, those not paying careful attention might not notice them.
But Lin Tianming, with his extraordinary perception, was very familiar with such changes.
He knew that when he sensed these changes, it indicated that the energy contained within the Bixue Fruit was taking effect.
And what he needed to do next was to refine the remaining energy as quickly as possible to prevent some energy from being wasted due to insufficient time for condensation.
This kind of thing was absolutely not allowed for Lin Tianming.
In such circumstances, Lin Tianming, opened up with full effort, had already pushed his Heavenly Grade Technique to the limit.
Soon, more energy poured into his body, strengthening various parts of his body under Lin Tianming’s orchestration.
Days like this also passed with the passage of time.

Wei Kingdom, Lin Family of Green Bamboo Mountain Territory.
This day at noon, in one of the pavilions atop the main peak, Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong sat in high seats.
In front of the two old men was Lin Tianyun, who had returned from the Liusha Wasteland in the north of Helan Country.
At this moment, Lin Tianyun’s complexion was slightly pale, his breathing relatively steady, but still exhibiting a weary look from long travels.
Upon seeing Lin Tianyun, Lin Shihua hastily stood up to greet him.
Even from a distance, Lin Shihua couldn’t help but ask, "Tianyun, did you discover any intelligence on your expedition to the Liusha Wasteland?"
As soon as he spoke, on the other side, Lin Shigong rapidly interjected, "Indeed... Recently, mysterious Golden Core cultivators have appeared frequently in the Liusha Wasteland. Although the identities of some have been revealed, many remain unheard of."
"In my opinion, those individuals are likely intentionally concealing their tracks, but what I must acknowledge is that these unknown individuals might very well be from Xitang Country or neighboring nations."
"By the way, did you find out the reason behind so many Golden Core cultivators showing up this time?"
Upon hearing this series of speculations and inquiries, Lin Tianyun’s expression grew a bit more serious.
Immediately, Lin Tianyun responded, "Replying to Ninth Grandpa and the other elder, this junior went straight to the Liusha Wasteland and stayed there for a few months, covertly gathering intelligence during that time."
"Just over a month ago, this junior finally discovered some peculiarities, forming certain guesses in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua’s expressions subtly changed, then they asked curiously, "What did you discover? Come on, tell us!"
As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Tianyun continued, "It seems there’s a Spirit Stone Mine beneath the Liusha Wasteland."
"That Spirit Stone Mine is deep underground, and its precise supply is temporarily unknown."
"According to this junior’s guess, it is very likely a small Spirit Stone Mine, or even potentially a medium Spirit Stone Mine."
Upon hearing this, the faces of Lin Shihua and Lin Shigong immediately became flushed, their breaths hastening.
After calming down with difficulty, Lin Shigong asked in confusion, "Since it’s a Spirit Stone Mine, let’s not discuss the scale, and the supply of spirit stones, why haven’t those Golden Core cultivators gone ahead and seized it?"
"Could it be they are afraid of something? Or are there other reasons?"
As soon as the words ended, Lin Shihua chimed in as well.
"Indeed... Such a critical resource like Spirit Stone in the cultivation world, once discovered, whether it’s a loose cultivator or others, people would secretly exploit it, so how could it draw such public attention?"
"You must know, now the neighboring countries around the Liusha Wasteland, almost all are aware of this and have dispatched cultivators to investigate."
Hearing Lin Shihua’s words, Lin Tianyun nodded.
Then, Lin Tianyun continued, "You two elders guessed correctly, indeed, this Spirit Stone Mine was accidentally discovered by a loose cultivator."
"The reason it became so widely known is that the discoverer had too low a cultivation to enter the mine."
"Later, seeing no way to fulfill his wish, this loose cultivator auctioned off the information openly in several workshops."
"After such an operation, others couldn’t not know even if they wanted to."
With this explanation, Lin Shigong became even more perplexed.
Due to the discoverer’s low cultivation, he couldn’t enter the mine, but neither the forces of Helan Country nor the Golden Crow Country lack Golden Elixir forces.
Among these forces, the combined number of Golden Core Stage cultivators is not small.
Since the discoverer couldn’t enter, once the message reached those powerful forces, they dispatched Golden Core cultivators, yet still have not taken it over, which is puzzling.
Understanding all this, Lin Shihua directly asked.
"Tianyun boy, perhaps there’s something within the Spirit Stone Mine?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Or let’s say, perhaps due to other reasons even a Golden Core Expert cannot easily enter that Spirit Stone Mine?"
Hearing Lin Shihua’s words, Lin Tianyun nodded.
"Twelfth Grandpa, just as you expected!"
"That Spirit Stone Mine indeed exists. The reason it hasn’t been mined yet is not only because of the mine being too deep, but also due to the presence of a Fourth Order Monster Insect dwelling there."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shigong and Lin Shihua’s expressions immediately changed drastically, their mouths agape, clearly shocked by the news.
As Lin Shihua recovered, his expression became more incredulous.
"Tianyun, that barren place like the Liusha Wasteland, sparsely populated and devoid of spiritual energy, how could there be a Fourth Order Monster Insect residing there?"
"It really defies all logic!"
Lin Shigong followed with a nod, clearly not understanding the reason.
After cultivating for over two hundred years, both had experienced much, and their horizons were wide.
The reason being in the cultivation world, above Third Order demonic beasts on land, at least ninety-nine percent reside in the Endless Forest of western Qingzhou and Jizhou.
While viewed on a larger scale, the Helan Country in Qingzhou also edges on the human race’s territory, indicating a possibility for high-order monsters.
However, the neighboring countries around the Liusha Wasteland, and virtually all of Qingzhou Land have been under human race control for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.
With such a long history, these lands have been controlled and developed by the human race.
Hence, Third Order demonic beasts remaining within this range are exceedingly rare, let alone the existence of Fourth Order demon insects.
