The Spiritual Vein " contains the word "vein."
Lu Li had hoped to glean some more "spiritual energy" so that Kunlun Mirror could savor every last drop.
He cares so much about it precisely because a flash of inspiration is absolutely crucial!
There are 720 acupoints to refine next; without spiritual inspiration, it will take forever.
The cultivation of Xiao Cha and Wan Qing, and the transformation of the flying swords... all require spiritual inspiration.
There was also the Kunlun Mirror; after consuming eight units, there was absolutely no reaction, which was clearly insufficient.
Not to mention that Lu Li also wanted to give some to Sister Xia and Old Master Nan...
So, we really lack inspiration; even just a little bit more would be good.
But when they arrived, the pit was completely dry, without a trace of moisture!
Half a day had passed since the spiritual spring was drained, Lu Li frowned. "Is the recovery this slow?"
The two girls followed along, Wan Qing said:
"How about we wait until tomorrow and see? Maybe, like morning dew, it needs to be kept overnight."
Lu Li observed the outside world through his flying sword and, thanks to the reputation of the Jiu Shan Sect, there was no living person within dozens of miles.
"Let's try it out tonight. Even half a unit would be great..."
Spiritual Vein, there are still some blessings nearby, making it suitable for Xiao Cha to break through.
So, after helping Xiao Cha cleanse her spinal cord twice more, the family spent the night there.
Xiao Cha needed a good rest, and soon fell asleep with her head on Wan Qing's lap.
It's no big deal for Lu Li three days without sleep.
He decided to let the flying sword patrol and keep watch in the sky, and then he led the puppet to the helicopter crash site.
All the weapons and equipment are gathered here so that they can be brought back to Blue Star together.
Lu Li immediately communicated with the Kunlun Mirror and activated the [Cross-Realm] function.
In the blink of an eye, they returned to the company's giant warehouse with a huge pile of stuff.
[Dig pits to bury the wreckage; maintain weapons and equipment]
After giving the puppets instructions and replenishing their mind and soul, Lu Li was about to leave.
But when he turned around, he saw the three corroded, headless remains of puppets.
He then added: [The puppets who died in battle... shall be buried separately.]
Number 0 and A'da immediately bowed and roared, "Yes, Master!"
The puppets immediately sprang into action.
Lu Li cached information about a "Prion Virus" on his phone and immediately activated [Cross-Realm] to leave.
~~~~~~~~~
They returned to the Spiritual Vein and waited patiently until the next morning when the sun rose, at which point the three of them went to check on it together.
The pit remained dry and barren, showing no sign of life.
Xiao Cha rubbed her chin and said:
"With the recovery so slow, could it be that we... have wiped out the Jiu Shan Sect's centuries of accumulated wealth?"
"Very likely..."
Lu Li said helplessly, "Things have come to this point, let's not wait any longer, let's retreat."
The two women nodded with some regret, packed their luggage, and prepared to return home.
Xiao Cha carried a large backpack, which was full of books she had looted from the library.
Wan Qing carried a smaller Jade Ware containing the puppet that had been flipped over.
Before leaving, Lu Li glanced back at the Spiritual Vein and communicated with the Kunlun Mirror, saying:
"Drain it all, take whatever amount you can get."
He wanted to scavenge as much as possible; maybe there was a tiny bit left at the bottom of the pit.
[Kunlun Mirror] diligently carried out its master's order to "drain" the spiritual vein, flying directly to the sky above the Spiritual Vein and gently drawing air downwards.
The suction force was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, yet Lu Li and the other two suddenly felt a slight tremor beneath their feet!
The amplitude was increasing, and it was getting closer, as if something was surging up...
A few seconds later, to the astonishment of the three, a giant blue wave burst forth, pushing aside the boulder!
It's like the main water pipe was accidentally severed during construction, and water sprayed directly into the sky, twenty or thirty meters high!
Holy crap!!!
The three of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time, even the most demure Wan Qing uttered a curse.
Not a single drop of this blue, sparkling, lightning-filled wave was wasted; it was all absorbed into the Kunlun Mirror's surface!
Unfortunately, this grand spectacle lasted only two seconds before it vanished, and the Kunlun Mirror returned to its master's Sea of Consciousness.
Lu Li clenched his fists excitedly and exclaimed, "They drew 100 units!!!"
Sensing the Kunlun Mirror within his Sea of Consciousness, he became increasingly certain that this was his greatest trump card!
[100 units, you eat half!]
Why be polite with such a divine object? Of course, we should prioritize supplying it with the best and most abundant resources!
The Kunlun Mirror flashed and immediately began refining.
Lu Li and the other two looked at the original Spiritual Vein and saw that there was now a bottomless black hole about three meters in diameter.
"Really drained?"
Xiao Cha stared wide-eyed in amazement and exclaimed, "This is a genuine magic weapon... no, it should be called a spiritual treasure! It's damn powerful!"
Lu Li laughed and said, "We've made a fortune this time, let's go!"
This time, the feeling of leaving was completely different; the whole family was all smiles and overjoyed...
But after taking only a few steps, their expressions suddenly froze!
This family of three is no ordinary person; they all possess Spirit Refinement sensitivity and Martial Arts intuition.
At that moment, I suddenly felt a chill rush straight to the top of my head!
Then, they witnessed a strange sight—
Many stones around me floated up, then suddenly fell heavily back down.
Immediately afterward, a collapsed stone pillar in the distance, weighing probably ten or twenty tons, also floated into the sky and crashed down with a loud bang!
In that instant, Lu Li suddenly remembered:
The key is the Earth's magnetic field. If the Earth's magnetic field in that area is disrupted by the Kunlun Mirror, it will lead to...
"Run! The gravity has gone out of balance!"
With a shout from Lu Li, the three of them took off and dashed down the mountain.
As I was running, my body suddenly floated up uncontrollably, and then a huge force pressed me down.
For an ordinary person, this would definitely turn them into a meat patty.
Fortunately, the family members were highly skilled in cultivation. Lu Li released his mental energy to lift the three of them up to a hundred meters in the air, resisting the chaotic gravity and moving them up and down away from Hatoyama.
It wasn't until they had run more than 20 miles away that the sense of impending doom gradually subsided.
But the consequences of geomagnetic disturbances are only just beginning to emerge.
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the sky above the Jiu Shan Sect, and countless dazzling rays of light poured down.
These are various rays from the universe, which would normally be concentrated at the North and South Poles by the Earth's magnetic field and released to form the spectacular "autumn light".
However, at this moment, a hole appeared in the Earth's magnetic field at Hatoyama, and the atmosphere lost its binding force, resulting in a void.
As a result, astronomical energy directly bombarded the Earth's surface, allowing the entire Jizhou region to witness the aurora borealis in their lifetime!
A dazzling, radiant light poured down from the Sky Dome, enveloping the entire Hatoyama.
The entire mountain collapsed like a cream cake placed in a microwave oven, everything turning into lava under the high temperature.
Fortunately, the planet is resilient and robust; this damage is less than a mosquito bite on a person.
The Earth's magnetic field quickly returned to normal, blocking out the terrifying cosmic rays.
Xiao Cha snapped out of her daze and roared:
"Hurry! True Lord and Grandmaster are coming to inspect soon!!!"
The three of them started running again, and as they were about to reach the official road, Xiao Cha said again:
"Stop, walk slowly, blend into the crowd, and pretend you don't know anything."
The aurora borealis was something ordinary people had no idea what was happening; they were still exclaiming and speculating when the three of them casually blended in.
About a minute later, the roar of Mach flight came from ten thousand meters in the sky, and a figure flew past amidst the sonic boom. It was none other than Jiang Shixiang, the Governor of Jinmen.
