Chapter 3562 — Spirit Jade
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Wei Zhao could not help nodding. Both of them had come up from the mortal world, so they felt this especially keenly. Back at the Welcoming Pavilion they had not noticed it, but the moment they set foot in the mountains, they immediately sensed the spiritual qi permeating the air—something almost unimaginable in the mortal world.
Still, Wei Zhao had the jade pendant space, so his need for the world's spiritual qi was not particularly great. At this moment, he simply feigned surprise.
"Hey! Regular country bumpkins who've never seen the world—making a fuss over such a little bit of spiritual qi. You're really an embarrassment to our Azure Cloud Pavilion." Meng Zhou, walking up ahead, turned his head and sneered in that sly, insinuating way.
The others chimed in with jeering laughter. They had been fretting over the upcoming cave allocation, each with a nervous heart, but seeing these two country bumpkins from the mortal world, Wei Zhao and Xiao Che, they instantly found their confidence. The two worst cultivation caves would, needless to say, go to these two.
Mocked and ridiculed so brazenly, Xiao Che's face flushed crimson. Wei Zhao, however, showed no reaction beyond a faint smile. These people were nothing but warped-minded buffoons—unable to breathe under the pressure of Skyward Pavilion and Mystic Mechanism Pavilion, they had come running to him to assert their existence. Why take them to heart?
Seeing this, the Miserable Senior Brother could only smile bitterly and come to their rescue. "You two juniors may not know," he said, "but the mountain beneath our feet is no ordinary mountain. It is a spirit mountain; a vast vein of spirit jade lies buried below, which is why spiritual qi seeps up from the ground and diffuses through the air, far denser than anywhere else on the island."
"A spirit jade vein? Could it be that this spirit jade vein holds the world's spiritual qi?" Wei Zhao's heart stirred; it reminded him of the true-qi energy stones of the mortal world.
"Indeed. Spirit jade can be mined from the spirit jade vein, and within the spirit jade is stored an extremely dense spiritual qi—a superb item for assisting cultivation. According to the rules, the Welcoming Pavilion distributes one piece of spirit jade to each of you every month. You'll understand once you've tried it," the Miserable Senior Brother explained.
A piece of spirit jade every month? That sounded like a decent benefit—though he had no idea how effective it would be, or how it compared with his own jade pendant space.
But from what Wei Zhao could sense so far, even if this spirit jade was stronger than the energy stones, it probably could not hold as much energy as his jade pendant space.
What Wei Zhao was more eager to know at this moment was something else entirely. Spirit jade might sound a notch above the mortal world's energy stones, but in essence, both held the world's spiritual qi. Since his jade pendant space could recharge the energy stones of the mortal world, would it have the same effect on spirit jade?
For instance, could he take spirit jade that others had used up and recharge it? If spirit jade really was better than the jade pendant space, and he could recharge it too—then that would be a peerless weapon for cultivation!
This question bore on his grand plans for cultivation in the days ahead. Once the spirit jade was in hand, he would have to test it as soon as possible.
"Senior Brother Ku, are these cultivation caves also connected to the spirit jade vein?" Xiao Che asked suddenly from the side.
