Chapter 300 Spirit Slave
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap echoed outside the gold mine.
Immediately after, he felt the earth violently shake.
A strong tingling sensation spread over him.
"This is a thunderstrike..."
Li Qian was shocked.
Although he didn't know the location of the strike, the intense reaction at his own location clearly showed that this thunderstrike was extremely powerful.
Hopefully, no one gets hurt.
Li Qian quickly restrained his aura, remaining completely still.
This is the best approach when a thunderstrike occurs.
As for running out of the mine, it's even more dangerous.
In short, once a thunderstrike happens, you can only rely on luck and pray for safety.
Of course, Li Qian still had a plan. If the thunderstrike came for him, he would immediately enter Chenzhong Cave Heaven.
It was a long time before the thunderous sound gradually faded away.
Only then did Li Qian leave the mine and come to the surface.
He could sense the thunderous aura that filled the heavens and earth.
Suddenly, he flew towards a certain direction.
A few figures also appeared—senior brother Xiao He and several others.
They were all mining in the nearby area.
Seeing the three unharmed, Li Qian also felt slightly relieved.
"That is...."
The four of them, along with others, arrived at a hillside, where they saw the front flattened, charred wood from the thunderstrike everywhere, covering an area of several hundred square meters.
Within this area, there were two mine holes.
Seeing this scene, the Earth Immortals who gradually gathered fell silent.
The Earth Immortals in those two mine holes were surely doomed.
The thunderstrike was terrifying.
Although it was relatively far from Li Qian's location, it had such a strong impact.
Moreover, several Earth Immortals near the thunder zone were injured.
However, just surviving was considered fortunate.
"It's Earth Immortal Mingyu and Earth Immortal Xiao Xuan...."
Someone suddenly said.
Both of them were Earth Immortals from Golden Jade Daoist Mansion, and Earth Immortal Mingyu was the centurion of the whole hundred-man squad, while Earth Immortal Xiao Xuan was the Daoist couple of Earth Immortal Mingyu.
Thus, their mines were very close.
Yet, unexpectedly, both fell simultaneously in the thunderstrike.
This left many feeling complex emotions.
After all, two Earth Immortals died, one being an Immortal Register Disciple.
And although Earth Immortal Xiao Xuan was not an Immortal Register Disciple, her background was significant enough; reportedly, she was next in line for the Immortal Register slot, but due to the rise of Unrivaled Dao Palace, that slot was snatched by a few Dao Fruit level disciples from Unrivaled Dao Palace.
Two Earth Immortals perished by thunderstrikes, making the remaining people more nervous and uneasy.
As the one-year limit approached, the frequency of thunderstrikes increased significantly, implying greater risks.
Li Qian was equally cautious, choosing to enter Chenzhong Cave Heaven whenever a thunderstrike occurred.
Fortunately, until the one-year limit, that region did not experience another thunderstrike.
On that day, while Li Qian was mining, a sound suddenly arose.
It turned out to be the signal to evacuate.
Li Qian quickly collected all the ores and hurriedly left the mine, meeting with others, departing the Secret Realm, and after handing over all the Immortal Gold Ores in his Storage Device, he returned to Yuhua Immortal Sect through the teleport portal.
The entire process was very smooth.
Li Qian couldn't help but feel tense until he returned to Luo Yuan Daoist School and breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knew that a piece of Immortal Gold weighing dozens of kilograms was secretly taken away by an unknown servant disciple.
In the Forbidden Secret Realm of Yuhua Immortal Sect.
Only Daoist-level powers of Yuhua Immortal Sect were qualified to enter here.
At this moment, more than twenty Daoist-level powers gathered here.
Yuhua Immortal Sect had a very strong foundation, including Dao Palace Master of the eight Dao palaces, the Yuhua Sect Master, and numerous Dao Masters who had retired from the Dao Palace Master's position over several generations, totaling twenty-three Dao Masters.
Each was at least at the Transformation and Infant Formation level.
The most powerful Dao Masters among them were at a point where their Principle Seeds were budding substantially, only a step away from rooting in the world to achieve Transformation.
However, this step was extremely, extremely difficult.
"Esteemed ones, all the Immortal Gold Ores extracted this time can be preliminarily estimated to refine about 170,000 grams of Immortal Gold."
The white-haired Yuhua Sect Master said.
170,000 grams of Immortal Gold seemed plenty, equivalent to 170 kilograms, indeed it was ample.
A cultivator wishing to break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal level after achieving Transformation would need at least 100 kilograms of Immortal Gold.
This means this Immortal Gold is sufficient to help a Transformed powerful one break through to the Immortal Golden Immortal level.
Immortal Gold also has another use, which is to forge Lifebound Dao Artifacts.
To the numerous Transformation and Infant Formation Ability powers present, breaking through to Immortal Golden Immortal is nearly impossible because the prerequisite is Transformation; if someone truly transforms, the Immortal Gold would surely be concentrated on that transformed person.
But in fact, among the twenty-three Transformation and Infant Formation abilities of the Yuhua Immortal Sect, even with some having their Principle Seeds bud to a certain extent, the distance to Transformation remains very remote.
Therefore, to those present, Immortal Gold for breaking through to Immortal Golden Immortal is just a luxury; yet, using it to forge Lifebound Dao Artifacts is plausible.
"The higher-ups have already taken eighty percent. Ultimately, what we, Yuhua Immortal Sect, can keep is only about 30,000 grams."
The Yuhua Sect Master sighed, "As for the allocation, we will still adhere to old rules...."
"Hmph, those Immortal Sects above are true vampires. We, Yuhua Immortal Sect, worked hard to mine Immortal Gold, yet it ends up benefiting them...."
