This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1586 - 46: Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone!

This is a mineral vein. If there's any treasure, this is most likely it.

Lu Qingshan thought it reasonable and immediately released his Divine Sense, meticulously searching through the mineral vein.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he was startled to discover something unusual.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan retracted his Divine Sense and swiftly darted towards the depths of the mineral vein. A few breaths later, he reappeared with an extraordinary object in his hand.

It was an unusual stone, gleaming with a clear golden hue, its surface exuding wisps of mist, resembling Immortal Qi. Though faint, it stirred something in one's heart.

This is no ordinary treasure!

Lu Qingshan made a judgment, absolutely certain.

Because under his Power of the Mountains and Seas, this mineral vein was desolate, and the essence within the corresponding minerals had been completely extracted, turning them into waste stone.

Only this stone was unaffected in the slightest, incredibly mysterious.

In fact, it was its very mysteriousness that led Lu Qingshan to find it.

This stone was hidden deep within the mineral vein, surrounded by numerous minerals, and it wasn't large. If it weren't for the loss of Spiritual Nature in the other minerals due to the Power of the Mountains and Seas, making this stone stand out, Lu Qingshan would not have found it easily.

"This is...." Zang Xiaojian carefully examined the stone, then suddenly thought of something, her eyes widening, "Primordial Qi!"

She excitedly grabbed Lu Qingshan's arm, "Lu Qingshan, it's the Mother Stone!"

"Mother Stone?" Lu Qingshan, a Sword Cultivator who specialized in Sword Dao and not in a hundred arts, had never heard of any Mother Stone.

"It's Immortal Gold, a peerless treasure material from the Ancient Times, extremely rare in the world."

"To achieve a Taoist Artifact postnatally, it must be cast with Immortal Gold."

Immortal Gold is a general term, referring to treasure materials that have reached a sufficiently powerful level.

Taoist Jade is one type of Immortal Gold.

"The Mother Stone is the most peculiar among Immortal Gold, akin to a cornucopia. Anyone who obtains it would never use it to refine Magic Artifacts...."

Zang Xiaojian took a deep breath before continuing, "Because it continuously absorbs the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, transforming it into Primordial Qi."

"And this Primordial Qi can purify the surrounding land, converting the most ordinary stones into treasure mines, forming mineral veins."

"This is a cloud-patterned mineral vein, so it is Cloud-patterned Immortal Gold, the Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone. Having it is equivalent to possessing a never-ending cloud-pattern mineral vein."

Hearing this, even Lu Qingshan, who usually didn't care much about external possessions, couldn't help but feel a surge of enthusiasm.

As a Sword Cultivator, refining artifacts is not his forte, but a Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone represents endless wealth and is akin to the foundation of a Sect.

More importantly....

If.... if he could really take Lingye Island along, Lu Qingshan had significant plans for the swordsmiths on Lingye Island.

Swordsmiths specialize in forging swords.

A famed general needs a wise lord, just as a famed sword does, don't they?

If he could recruit the swordsmiths of Lingye Island as exclusive swordsmiths for the Sword Sect, just how powerful would the Sword Sect become?

Since he's considering this plan, he must prepare a proper meeting gift, right?

For a swordsmith, what gift could be more suitable than Immortal Gold?

In this era, Immortal Gold has long since dried up, nearly impossible to find.

At this moment, small luminous words flashed before Lu Qingshan's eyes.

"The Sixth Tribulations Realm advancement task [Strike hard once to avoid striking a hundred times] is complete!"

When he leveled the Tao clan's first mining site earlier, there was no change in the advancement task.

This indicated that, according to Deep Blue's assessment criteria, such damage was not significant enough for punishment to the Tao clan.

At the time, Lu Qingshan was worried about what to do if the task remained incomplete after leveling all five mining sites.

Surely he couldn't really storm the Ancestral Daoist City alone, could he?

Now, his worries were finally dispelled.

The loss of the Cloud-patterned Immortal Gold was too painful for the Tao clan!

"Not good!" Joy did not cloud Lu Qingshan's mind, and in an instant, Lu Qingshan suddenly reacted, "We must leave quickly!"

Such a divine object, the Tao clan will undoubtedly place extreme importance on it.

You can tell from the special establishment of a dojo here, and from the Nine Realms Cultivators at the dojo fighting to the death without retreat.

It's easy to imagine that the destruction of the cloud-pattern mineral vein is bound to enrage the Tao clan completely, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone.

Lu Qingshan knew that if they didn't leave now, they might be intercepted!
