Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: Important
The task is five hundred, it sounds like a lot, especially since they’re Fourth-tier Demon Beasts.
But the brown dogs are social creatures, and when they appear, it’s never in small numbers.
For a whole day, the mother and her three children kept swinging their swords to kill brown dogs.
The ground was already covered, and although they had met the quantity, the brown dog demon beasts are not only ferocious and social but also vengeful; even if there’s only one left, it won’t run away.
Finally, the battle ended, and the mother and her children collapsed on the ground, truly exhausted.
Qi Yan was a bit better, for he practiced swinging his sword ten thousand times every day.
He didn’t take a rest but instead took out a storage bag and quickly cleaned the battlefield.
Once everything was packed, the family swiftly left the area.
At night, they didn’t travel far and stopped to rest.
Qi Hong and Qi Wen sat down and began to advance.
Their swordsmanship may not be as proficient as Qi Yan’s. However, if they wanted to use their swords against enemies, they could still do so without a problem.
Tan Shaoting set a Spirit Gathering Array next to the two children to help them quickly gather Spiritual Energy.
Su Yuanyuan also had a fruitful day; although she didn’t advance, she was close, only lacking an opportunity.
At midnight, the siblings advanced to the Qi Refining Seventh Level. Now, they are considered high-level in the Qi Refinement Realm.
The family continued the task during the day, now only lacking one type of Spirit Plant for Qi Hong’s task.
"The Wood Spirit Power inside is becoming more concentrated. Look, the variety and age of the Spirit Plants here have significantly increased."
"Second Brother, do you need these for Alchemy? Should we start gathering them from today?"
Of course, there were no objections; they could practice their skills and exchange them for Spirit Stones.
The family happily collected Spirit Plants.
Suddenly, Tan Shaoting stopped and transmitted a message to his family of four.
They continued to collect, soon detecting five people within their Divine Sense range. Su Yuanyuan could tell there were three Foundation Establishment cultivators, but couldn’t discern the remaining two.
Tan Shaoting stood up and watched the direction they came from.
Five people quickly appeared in front of their family.
The mother and her three children also halted.
Tan Shaoting greeted them, followed by the mother and her children.
"Seniors."
At this moment, a round-faced cultivator with a friendly smile stepped forward. "Greetings, fellow Taoists."
"May I ask why you all have come?"
"Fellow Taoists, we just want to ask if you’ve heard about the events at Silver Moon Lake last night."
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "We were executing a task. Heard the disturbances, but didn’t investigate due to the children."
"In that case, farewell."
The five left like the wind.
Tan Shaoting’s Divine Sense was sharp and knew their family was still being watched by the late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
"Dad, looking at their attire, shouldn’t they be from the Heavenly Profound Sect?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "They should be."
Now, the family continued to collect. Just now, the guardian demon beasts were defeated by them, better to finish up before large batches arrive, otherwise it would be troublesome.
It’s not fear, just that now the family all wants to collect Spirit Stones. However, wanting to complete the task first puts their minds at ease.
"Uncle, should they not be involved in any way?"
Liu Xiaozhu nodded, "No other discoveries."
"How come someone knew the Token’s purpose?"
"Likely not, probably just a coincidence. I didn’t sense the Token earlier."
After the Heavenly Profound Sect cultivators left, the last of the Spirit Plants were collected. Their family continued moving forward.
Now it was safe, so the family spoke quietly.
"Dad, how did things alarm the Heavenly Profound Sect cultivators? Was there something valuable inside?"
Tan Shaoting was puzzled, too, "I don’t know either, but since two late-stage Golden Core cultivators came, there must be something important."
"Could it be those five Jade Tokens?" Su Yuanyuan asked softly.
The four family members thought of it too. "Very likely."
"Those things have a way to sense. Luckily they’re inside Mom’s space."
A very big possibility indeed.
Qi Hong walked in front, "Stop thinking about it. We should be almost there."
The family perked up; who wouldn’t like to dig for Spirit Stones?
Su Yuanyuan especially wanted to prepare more Spirit Stones for her children. Although she knew she was overly indulging them, this should be every mother’s thought, right?
They felt their Spiritual Pearls rotate quickly, but even by evening, they couldn’t determine the location.
Qi Hong began to worry; why is this happening? It shouldn’t be like this.
Tan Shaoting noticed his son’s mental state was becoming problematic, "Qi Hong, you must know that these are external possessions, having them is your fortune. If you miss them, it’s simply not your fate."
Upon hearing this, the mother and her children paused, realizing they were indeed a bit too obsessed.
In the evening, the family found a cave. Inside, it was clean with no traces of Arrays.
This cave was quite concealed. Had Qi Wen not accidentally kicked a stone, it would have remained undiscovered.
Qi Yan gathered many branches, and the family sat around the fire chatting.
"Mom, do you feel Spiritual Power here seems much less?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded; had her daughter not mentioned it, she wouldn’t have noticed.
Qi Hong listened to his sister’s words and felt the difference too.
The family all felt a deep sense of disharmony. This area should have rich Spiritual Energy, why is it significantly less when reaching this cave? It’s definitely unreasonable.
The family’s Divine Sense probed inside but found nothing.
Qi Wen suddenly exclaimed, "Do any of you feel that the Divine Sense here gets blocked for a moment?"
Four Divine Senses converged, and indeed, for a moment, it got blocked.
Qi Yan stood up and swung his sword toward that location, causing stones to fall.
Suddenly he stopped. "There’s a material here that’s very hard."
The four approached, and although Tan Shaoting wasn’t very knowledgeable about such things, he still knew more than the mother and children.
"This should be Absolute Spirit Stone, just like the Land of No Spirit."
The three children nodded, indeed that’s the implication. No matter what, keep digging.
The mother and children began work, and Tan Shaoting went to the cave entrance, placed a Fifth Rank Concealing Array Plate, and returned to help.
They all had Spiritual Artifacts in their space and didn’t hesitate to use them this time.
Soon the Absolute Spirit Stone was broken open, unleashing abundant Spiritual Energy.
Now the family was elated, realizing they’d been unable to feel the location all along.
No more words needed, keep working, but such labor was joyous; that was real gain.
There was no low-grade Spirit Stones here; it seemed the quality of this Spirit Vein was very high.
Tan Shaoting recalled the method learned earlier for intercepting Spirit Veins and wondered if the family should stop digging and just intercept each a section?
