Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Medium Grade Spirit Stone

Lu Chen was not polite at all, as Xuanyun Sect already had a grudge with him, taking away the Spirit Stones without any sense of guilt.

Moreover, Spirit Stones were the hard currency in the Cultivation World, and they might come in handy if he went to the Spirit World in the future!

"However, these Spirit Stones," Lu Chen glanced at Chu Zhongtian and said, "all staying with me, that’s not a problem, is it?"

"Brother Lu Dao, they should all be yours in the first place," Chu Zhongtian had no objections and replied, "I only need to submit my monthly quota!"

Xuanyun Sect would set different quotas for disciples who made mistakes based on their realm and strength, ensuring they could only mine all day, without any time left for cultivation.

Of course, these were unwritten rules, also intended as a deterrent to disciples so they wouldn’t make mistakes!

But who would have thought, Chu Zhongtian, who was suppressed, brought about a change by bringing Lu Chen in!

Lu Chen mined Spirit Stones for an entire day, enough for half a month’s quota for Chu Zhongtian, which meant, if Lu Chen mined for another day, he could complete Chu Zhongtian’s quota for a month.

Thus, they could devote all their remaining time to cultivation.

Of course.

If they wanted to take away more Spirit Stones, they still needed to continue mining.

But Chu Zhongtian now had a whole new idea.

"Brother Lu Dao, it is said that among ten thousand Spirit Stones, there might be one Medium Grade Spirit Stone. Do you think we have a chance of finding one?"

Within the Spirit Vein, Medium Grade Spirit Stones would occasionally appear. If mined, they could directly be used to offset one month’s worth of mining, which was also a rule of Xuanyun Sect.

"Medium Grade Spirit Stone?"

Lu Chen had heard of it but never seen one. He only knew that in addition to containing more and purer Spiritual Power than the rest, there were even greater uses!

It was said in the market that a Medium Grade Spirit Stone could be worth a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

But from Xuanyun Sect’s rules, the value of a Medium Grade Spirit Stone was far more than that.

"Is there any pattern to the appearance of Medium Grade Spirit Stones? Is it really one out of ten thousand?"

Lu Chen was intrigued and immediately asked.

"Not exactly," Chu Zhongtian had been mining here for a year and had never encountered a Medium Grade Spirit Stone. He knew more from what the mining overseers had told him, as there had been many disciples who had found them.

Perhaps his luck was just poor.

"It’s more about luck, right?"

He wasn’t too sure himself.

Lu Chen continued, "Have you ever seen a Medium Grade Spirit Stone?"

"I have," Chu Zhongtian promptly said, "Once, when I went to submit my task, I happened to see a Foundation Establishment disciple submit a Medium Grade Spirit Stone, which is why I mentioned it! That Medium Grade Spirit Stone was incredibly dark, looking like refined Xuan iron. Moreover, its Spiritual Power was more concealed; if not observed closely, one might mistake it for an ordinary rock!"

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then turned to look at the Xuanming Ice Snake, asking, "Can you find a Medium Grade Spirit Stone?"

Although the Xuanming Ice Snake possessed spiritual intelligence, and it wasn’t low, the reason it could assist the two was more because of a demonic beast’s instinctive ability to sense Spiritual Power.

Just like finding Spiritual Medicine in the wild.

So to Lu Chen’s words, it was half-understood.

"If you don’t understand, never mind," Lu Chen didn’t hold much hope for this; such a thing, even if truly one in ten thousand, was not something he should insist upon.

For now, it was better to stick to the original plan, to prevent any impatience from affecting his cultivation.

"Let’s leave the Medium Grade Spirit Stone to fate; if we have it, we have it. If not, then not," Lu Chen said indifferently to Chu Zhongtian. He then threw the mining pick over, "You mine for a while, and I’ll refine some pills for you."

"Okay."

Chu Zhongtian was completely obedient to Lu Chen, took the pick, and continued digging further in, while Lu Chen didn’t rush to start Alchemy. First, he took out the collection of pill recipes he had obtained from the Extreme Dan Sect, looked through them to find a pill suitable for refining at the moment, and then took out the Pill Furnace and the necessary Spiritual Medicine to begin.

He hadn’t yet called out the Spiritual Fire when he heard Chu Zhongtian’s pickaxe strike something hard, making a noise like metal striking metal!

The sound was crisp and echoed throughout the cave.

Lu Chen had mined all day and never heard such a sound; he instinctively looked over.

He saw a dark stone wobbling on the cave wall, then falling down.

"Is this... a Medium Grade Spirit Stone?"
