The continuous sound of explosions came from the huge cave below, and Zhongyuan had been busy in this cave for almost an hour. The number of crystals collected was even less than a hundred, and the hardness of those stone walls exceeded Zhongyuan's imagination!
Because he was afraid that the flames would melt along with the spirit stones, after clearing a huge passage and being four or five meters away from the crystals, Zhong Yuan had already collected the flames! Carrying the most powerful magic seal, Zhong Yuan aimed it at the stone wall and threw it over. He estimated that if a magic seal fell down, the stone wall would have to be blasted out with a big hole of four to five meters, right?
Anyway, I have never had experience collecting crystals before. Even if the crystals and stones were shattered, it would be convenient to pick them up with my psychic power. That's what Zhong Yuan thought, but the reality tells him the cruelty of reality. Not to mention the big hole, when Zhong Yuan attacked, he didn't even see a stone fall off. Fortunately, there were some cracks on the stone wall that had been burned into glass, which relieved Zhong Yuan and saved him from wasting his time. At first, Zhongyuan thought that his own flames had made progress again, and it was normal for the stone walls to become harder after being melted by the flames. However, after shattering the layer of glazed stone walls, looking at the equally hard stone walls, Zhongyuan was speechless!
The collection work, which was originally thought to be very easy, unexpectedly became difficult. More than ten seals were blasted down in a row, and Zhongyuan had to release flames again to burn the stone wall four or five meters deeper. The flames were still sharp, and in just a few breaths, he had melted the hard to break rocks into stone liquid!
The rest of the work is not something that flames can do. Zhong Yuan tried to turn flames into fire lines, cut the stone wall into small grids, and then use the seal to blow them down. This was fast enough, but dealing with the spirit stones wrapped in rocks was even more troublesome. He could only slowly remove those stones wrapped outside the spirit stones with flames, otherwise it would be difficult to use the seal to blow those stones down again?
After being speechless for half a day, Yuan had to obediently blow the seal slowly. Fortunately, those spirit stones were even harder than those rocks, so he was not afraid of shattering them! Some of the spirit stones that were blasted down can be picked up and used directly, but some are still connected to the stones!
Helpless, Zhong Yuan used the melted stone liquid to make a stone platform, and then took out some iron blocks from the Buddhist beads. It was the ones left over from Zhong Yuan's last medicinal cauldron in the spiritual realm. After refining them, he made a stone axe and hammer, which were helpful for serving with the axe and hammer when he encountered a package!
Fortunately, although the speed is a bit slow, the quality of the spirit stones is very good, and as the mining deepens, the spirit stones inside become denser. After becoming proficient for a long time, the speed also starts to increase!
The days as a miner were extremely boring, but the harvest was very enjoyable. After ten hours of work, Zhongyuan had already collected more than 2000 spirit stones. However, multitasking also made Zhongyuan extremely tired. Looking at the piles of unprocessed spirit stones picked out on the ground, Zhongyuan had to stop and rest well!
Putting away the collected spirit stones, Zhongyuan floated out of the cave and chose a relatively calm place. Zhongyuan found a stone to sit down on and began to clean up the space for the Buddha beads. First, there were several containers of water sources. Since bringing this thing, Zhongyuan had never taken a sip except for taking a shower. He just wanted to drink it and eat it whenever he wanted. He just took a fruit to eat!
Only one container was left, and the rest were taken out and put aside by Zhongyuan. This collection work is definitely not something that can be done in pairs of days. After finishing the work, taking a comfortable shower after each one may be about the same amount of water. Only a few containers of water sources were cleared, and a large part of the Buddha beads were already empty. The rest were mostly food, which was not necessary to throw away temporarily. The space cleared out was already enough for Zhongyuan to collect for a long time!
In a few moments, Zhong Yuan stripped himself completely and opened a shipping container to grab a few buckets of water before starting to wash himself. Zhong Yuan is not afraid of being seen in such a place! Eating and everything else are small things now, getting a good sleep is the most important thing!
The clothes that Zhong Yuan took off were thrown far away with his psychic power. There were still many Buddhist beads in them, and one set a day was enough for Zhong Yuan to wear for one or two years. It can be imagined how many useless things Zhong Yuan brought!
After finishing the cleaning, Zhong Yuan used his psychic power to lift the water bucket and clean the stone he had just sat on. However, Zhong Yuan did not make any movements. A gold circle with a diameter of over two meters suddenly appeared in front of Zhong Yuan. As soon as the gold circle stabilized, Zhong Yuan lifted his foot and plunged into it. Zhong Yuan had just disappeared into the gold circle, and soon after, the gold circle disappeared abruptly as it appeared, leaving only a red gemstone floating in mid air and slowly falling onto the cleaned stone!
That gem is naturally the secret treasure refined by Zhongyuan. Carrying such a treasure with you, Zhongyuan naturally needs to make good use of it. Since leaving Earth, Zhongyuan has been resting in the secret treasure space, which is not only safe but also comfortable, just like on Earth!
What shocked Zhongyuan the most was that he could feel the presence of air in the Secret Treasure Space. At first, Zhongyuan thought it was because he had just left Earth and hadn't exhausted all the air inside, but after resting all night, when he woke up and found that there was still air inside, Zhongyuan no longer thought so! After careful observation for a long time, Zhong Yuan realized that the air in this secret treasure space was completely transformed by his spiritual power through the secret treasure. Fortunately, the disappearance of that energy was within Zhong Yuan's acceptable range. Otherwise, no matter how comfortable it was to live in the secret treasure space, Zhong Yuan had to choose to camp around the teleportation array!
...
The harvest time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since Zhongyuan arrived at this planet with frequent volcanic eruptions. The space cleared out by throwing away the containers filled with water in the Buddhist bead space was already filled half a month ago. The vast amount of spiritual stones needed to be transported thousands of times by Zhongyuan were enough. However, Zhongyuan was no longer satisfied with this and selectively threw away some of the food and sun and moon products. It seemed that the space was about to be filled again!
After a month of continuous collection, Zhongyuan's ability to multitask has become increasingly familiar. At this point, it is difficult to hear continuous explosions in the cave mined by Zhongyuan. The sound of 'dong dong' strikes has never stopped. Over the past month, Zhongyuan has continuously used the seal to bombard those stone walls, and he no longer needs to slowly pinch the seal. With a gentle wave of one hand, the process of pinching the seal has already been completed in the blink of his hand!
The hundred meter thick layer of spirit stones was dug by Zhongyuan until it was two or three meters thick from the volcano wall before stopping. The spirit stones in that area were also the most dense and of the best quality. Zhongyuan even exploded ten deep red circular spirit stones the size of ping-pong balls in it. Judging from their smooth and regular appearance, if it weren't for himself digging them out, Zhongyuan would have suspected who processed and placed them here! The more than ten spirit stone clocks were not originally intended to be transported and were placed in the treasure space as collectibles!
