Chapter 2331 - 2330: Striking It Rich
As soon as Ling Feng finished speaking, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu were both thrilled.
Before Ling Feng could utter another word, the two girls immediately leaped up.
The time in mid-air was less than a second, but they both managed to pry off a crystal instantly.
Upon landing, Xiao Xiao’s voice trembled, "Brother, it’s really that kind of crystal!"
"Let me see."
Ling Feng reached out and took it, immediately feeling the surging energy inside.
The crystal they discovered earlier was the size of rock candy, but this one was as big as a goose egg—the difference was more than marginal.
And above them, the cave wall was dotted with hundreds more!
This meant that if they could collect them all, everyone would harvest a vast amount of Xuan Qi crystals.
Describing it as striking rich was inadequate; it was more like becoming millionaires overnight!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng was also excited, nodding and saying, "This is great, with these, the idea of total evolution is not just idle talk, but achievable!"
"What are we waiting for then!"
Mu Mu smiled, set down the crystal, and leapt up again.
This time Ling Feng didn’t stand idle and joined the two girls in jumping into the air.
The cave wall was about seven or eight meters high, which was not challenging for them, as they could easily jump up.
So, in the following time, Ling Feng and the others began their relentless excavation work.
Time flew by, and a crystal pile gradually appeared on the ground.
By the time they finished extracting the crystals from the cave top, the large pile of crystals on the ground looked particularly dazzling.
Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao sat directly on the ground, and each started counting their piles.
In the end, they counted that the three of them had excavated a total of four hundred and fifty crystals.
"We’ve really hit the jackpot. With these, we won’t need to hunt any more beasts," Xiao Xiao said.
"Exactly, one piece is enough to elevate several people to the Core Formation Realm, really no need to get more," Mu Mu added.
"Although it’s already a lot, I still feel it’s not enough!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "After all, who would mind having too much of a good thing?"
"Uh, Brother, you’re so greedy!"
Xiao Xiao said playfully, then giggled, "But I think the same way."
"But the cave top is already empty, where else can we find more crystals?" Mu Mu asked.
"Don’t worry, what’s meant for us won’t escape us. As long as there are more crystals in this forest, they will surely be ours!"
Ling Feng said confidently.
Xiao Xiao nodded, after which she looked around, "The cave top had them, so the surrounding cave walls should have them too. However, the patterns on them are still useful now; once we’ve finished practicing the Hidden Dragon Technique, we could dig them out and try!"
"Exactly!"
Ling Feng nodded, "I sort of understand now, the small pieces of crystals we discovered earlier could be Xuan Qi crystals in the mountain, slowly seeping out, so there must be more around!"
"If that’s the case, then we are really set!" Mu Mu said, full of longing.
After chatting for a few moments, Ling Feng stored all the crystals on the ground into the Space-capturing Mirror, ensuring they wouldn’t lose any.
Their original plan was canceled, and after a short break, the three immediately started cultivating.
However, this time Ling Feng didn’t immediately begin practicing the Hidden Dragon Technique, because he hadn’t broken through to the Core Formation Realm yet.
So, the immediate task was to replenish the Xuan Qi within his body, and then break through the realm.
Following that, each of the three focused on their cultivation, and the interior of the mountain became quiet.
Time seemed nonexistent as the three entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
Eventually, Ling Feng suddenly condensed his inner Xuan Qi into a round, silver-white pearl, then slowly opened his eyes.
Upon looking around, he realized it was pitch-black, as it was already midnight outside.
Next to him, there were two subtle sounds of breathing, which were Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu still persisting in practicing the Hidden Dragon Technique.
Ling Feng was still very pleased, because during his time on Earth, he had never managed to elevate his realm to the Core Formation Realm.
His cultivation had gone astray, causing each cell in his body to turn into a Dantian, completely different from others, thus requiring an indescribable amount of spiritual energy for even a tiny enhancement.
Breaking through to Core Formation seemed like an unachievable dream.
Now, this opportunity to experience being a Core Formation expert was indeed rare.
However, Ling Feng only enjoyed this moment for a while before he closed his eyes again, starting to practice the Hidden Dragon Technique.
Having already fallen far behind Mu Mu and Xiao Xiao, he didn’t want to lose progress to the two young girls.
Thus, in the dark cave, each of the three continued their cultivation, losing track of time once more.
...
...
Suddenly it was dawn again, Ling Feng opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
The inner core slowly stopped rotating from its rapid spin.
Looking at Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu, white mist was rising from both their heads, showcasing they seemed to be in a critical stage.
Ling Feng remained silent, fearing that he might accidentally make some noise that would disturb their cultivation.
So, he quietly sat there watching.
He had just broken through to the Second Layer of the Hidden Dragon Technique, thinking they might have broken through slightly earlier than him.
However, upon closer inspection, they were still working hard, causing Ling Feng some confusion as to why this was the case.
After about half an hour, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu simultaneously took a deep breath, then exhaled a breath, and opened their eyes.
Seeing Ling Feng watching them, Xiao Xiao immediately smiled and asked, "Brother, I broke through to the Second Layer, how about you? Did you reach the Core Formation Realm?"
"Yes, and I also broke through to the Second Layer, just a bit earlier than you," Ling Feng laughed.
"How did that happen?"
Xiao Xiao was stunned, with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.
"I’m not sure either, don’t know what caused it."
Ling Feng smiled, then continued, "Maybe it’s a difference between genders, perhaps it’s my previous realm, it could be any of these factors."
"Oh, that’s true, Brother, you have always been stronger than us!" Xiao Xiao laughed.
Mu Mu then chimed in, "Since everyone has reached the Second Layer, shall we start pushing for the Third Layer right away?"
"No rush, let’s take a break."
Ling Feng smiled, looking at the two, "Your clothes are all soaked through, don’t you want to take a bath?"
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu lowered their heads, noticing their clothes sticking to their bodies, revealing their curves clearly because they weren’t wearing any underwear, and their faces turned red instantly!
But soon, Xiao Xiao reacted, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Okay then, we should bathe now, I feel all sticky."
