When Qin Shujian climbed out of the pit, an irrepressible smile spread across his face.
Spirit Stone!
Seven whole Spirit Stones!
Each was the size of an adult's fist, much larger than the ones Xiao Hong had taken out before.
As he looked at the Spirit Stones piled inside his Storage Ring, the spiritual energy they naturally released filled that small space to an astonishing concentration.
At the sight,
Qin Shujian's mood lifted even further.
Spirit Stones were not precious because of their monetary value, nor because of how much they could improve a cultivator's cultivation when absorbed.
The true worth of Spirit Stones
lay in their ability to alter the spiritual energy of the surrounding landscape.
If a Spirit Stone was buried beneath an ordinary mountain, it would automatically gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, transforming the mountain into something akin to a treasured cultivation ground.
These were genuine treasures nurtured by heaven and earth.
Although they could not compare to Xiantian Spirit Objects, which anchored a Sect's fortune, they were still beyond the reach of other treasures.
Even if a single Spirit Stone only increased spiritual energy a little, the amount accumulated over the years could not be overlooked.
Qin Shujian had been worrying about establishing branch lineages for the Origin Sect, concerned that insufficient spiritual energy elsewhere might give some people unnecessary ideas.
Now that he had Spirit Stones, that problem was completely solved.
One stone beneath each mountain.
All the rest beneath Liangshan.
Qin Shujian had already decided how to distribute the Spirit Stones.
Then,
he turned and left.
Calculating the time, he realized that the three days Xiao Hong had mentioned were almost up.
He had spent two days waiting for the Green Lotus to bloom, and with the time spent searching, that accounted for
