Chapter 693: Chapter 693: How about, looking for a Medium Grade Spirit Stone!

Lu Chen decided that in a month’s time, upon the exchange of spirit stones, he would leave.

By then, the Core Formation elders guarding this place would all be collecting spirit stones, their minds bound to be more relaxed.

After instructing Chu Zhongtian to remind him when it was time for a breakthrough, Lu Chen used the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to carve out a new mining tunnel and entered to begin his closed-door cultivation.

Chu Zhongtian was left behind to stay here, and with the Xuanming Ice Snake having an important task at hand, it went further away to act as their protector!

At this moment, to prevent Chu Zhongtian from disturbing him, Lu Chen also set up a restrictive barrier using chaotic spirit power.

Afterward, he took out a pill furnace and sorted some ancient spiritual medicines in front of him.

"I don’t know when Chu Zhongtian will break through his bottleneck; I should prepare some Hateful Heaven Pills for him first!"

Lu Chen referred to all the pills made from the "Hateful Heaven Pill Technique" as Hateful Heaven Pills.

These pills required his own Resentful Heaven Blood as the main ingredient, and each time he refined a batch, it would cost Lu Chen a drop of Resentful Heaven Blood.

But since he had decided to take Chu Zhongtian with him, he naturally thought of ways to enhance Chu Zhongtian’s strength as much as possible.

In the Cultivation World, there was a saying that the strength of a Sword Cultivator far surpassed that of an ordinary cultivator at the same level, and Chu Zhongtian was among the best in the Xuanyun Sect.

Increasing his strength was equivalent to increasing his own, at least until Chu Zhongtian went to the Spirit World!

"Let’s start refining pills!"

Lu Chen’s gaze became focused as he found a pill called Breakthrough Pill, which could greatly increase the success rate of breaking through realms.

After extracting a drop of Resentful Heaven Blood from his heart meridian, Lu Chen placed it into the Pill Furnace.

"Spiritual Fire!"

Lu Chen’s Spiritual Fire was now somewhere between Spiritual Fire and Earth Fire, and although the pills he might produce could be of slightly poorer quality, it was more than enough for Chu Zhongtian, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After adding several types of spiritual medicines in order, Lu Chen spent a full seven hours refining this batch of pills!

That was after having refined ordinary pills beforehand, which had made him considerably more proficient.

"Pill Formation!"

This time, without an explosion, Lu Chen lightly waved his hand and the lid of the pill furnace flew off by itself. Out of it came seven dark red pills.

Lu Chen took out a porcelain bottle and collected six of these pills inside, leaving one in the palm of his hand.

"Not bad."

After confirming there really was no issue, Lu Chen added this Breakthrough Pill into the bottle as well.

"First recover the Resentful Heaven Blood, then continue refining pills."

Lu Chen closed his eyes to recover, while the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method was continuously in operation.

As long as his body’s spiritual power kept depleting, the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method simply could not stop!

This allowed Lu Chen, with his ordinary talent, to catch up to some of the more outstanding talents in terms of cultivation speed.

Several days passed.

Lu Chen now had a significant number of pills in his hand.

Besides that, there was good news; his Ice-Strange Fire could once again follow his commands without hesitation, inadvertently restoring quite a bit of his strength.

However, the Ice Spirit Pearl was still a little short; it only recuperated its original form and hadn’t reached the point where it could store spiritual power within.

Lu Chen sighed, "If the Ice Spirit Pearl could store spiritual power, it would be equivalent to having an additional Dantian."

However, he quickly set his thoughts aside. After all, there were still more than twenty days left, and as long as the Ice Spirit Pearl could recover before he left, it would be on time.

"Continue."

Lu Chen carried on refining pills and cultivating without stop. When tired, he would pick up his mining pick and dig around aimlessly in the tunnel.

Spirit stones were better than nothing.

Without the assistance of the Xuanming Ice Snake, he could locate spirit stones in the mine walls simply by modulating the flow of his spiritual power.

Also, this allowed his spiritual power to continue to deplete, which enhanced the consumption of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

Another ten days went by.

There were only ten days left until the new date.

The Ice Spirit Pearl still hadn’t recovered, and Lu Chen forcibly suppressed the impatience in his heart as he began to mine once more.

He originally wanted to continue refining pills.

Pills, like spirit stones, were always better the more one had.

But firstly, he was worried that Chu Zhongtian might breakthrough at any moment, and if he lacked Resentful Heaven Blood, it could potentially affect the display of his strength.

Secondly, he had nearly run out of spiritual medicines.

Refining ordinary pills had become almost impossible.

Therefore, he could only distract himself with mining to maintain a focused state of mind.

But continuing to mine monotonously was not a solution either.

Lu Chen then thought of medium-grade spirit stones.

"The spiritual power in medium-grade spirit stones is different. Maybe... I should take this opportunity to search for some medium-grade spirit stones?"

His Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique could not provide clairvoyance, yet once medium-grade spirit stones were exposed to the air, the technique could immediately detect the flowing chaotic power, which would be especially conspicuous in his sight.

"Never mind the spirit stones, I’ll just dig down directly; there might be something to gain!"

Lu Chen’s eyes lit up, he glanced at the mining pick in his hand, then tossed it into his storage bag. With a thought, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear suddenly appeared in his left hand!

"Hehe!"

With a sly smile, Lu Chen directed the spear technique towards the mining tunnel he had created over time!
