Chapter 202
202 Boulder’s heart
This time, Lu Qing wanted to increase the level of the energy stone mine.
The reason why he chose this place was that the clan only had these two three-star Resources. The other group was the water cloud horse group. However, the water cloud horse herd was a resource point for beast taming. If it leveled up, Lu xueting might not be able to control it.
Lu Qing would only consider this matter after Lu xueting had become a level three mid-grade or even level three high-grade Beast Tamer.
Upgrading the energy stone mine did not have that many problems.
He still remembered what had happened when the energy stone mine had been upgraded. The appearance of a stage two stonemother might have solved the problem in the end, but it resulted in the deaths of two of the clan’s cultivators who were stationed there.
After learning this lesson, Lu Qing knew that he had to be more careful when he upgraded the relevant resource points in the future.
According to the pattern, the stonemother that appeared the last time the two-star resource was upgraded to three-star was of a level two standard. Even if a stonemother appeared during the three-star upgrade to four-star, its strength should be at level three, which was equivalent to the initial enlightenment stage.
But this matter was not too certain.
Lu Qing did not forget that the stonemother that had appeared the last time had reached the later stage of the second level. Back then, the strongest person in the clan was Lu chaoxi. He was at the eighth-tier foundation building realm, but it was still very difficult for him to deal with it. In the end, he had to rely on the help of his younger brother and sister. The three of them worked together and were able to deal with the stonemother without suffering any injuries.
If a late-stage rank three stonemother appeared, it would be a huge problem for the Lu clan to deal with it without Li Yanling around. Even though they had set up a formation in advance and made targeted preparations, Lu chaoxi and Lu mingchao were only in the initial stage of the initial enlightenment stage. If they were not careful, they might be in big trouble.
however, with Li Yanling there, this problem would not be too big.
Fighting the stonemother, who was at the later stage of level three, in the Golden core stage, with two Qiming helpers and some targeted arrangements in advance should be foolproof.
As for the possibility that the enemy would be even more powerful, the possibility was too low. Moreover, Lu Qing did not think that the system would be that crazy.
Back to the main topic. When Lu Qing saw that the clan’s cultivators in the mine were all ready, he sent a voice transmission to Lu chaoxi, ”
“It’s about to start, be on your guard.”
Lu chaoxi’s slightly bored expression immediately turned serious. He told the people around him about this.
Although they still could not sense anything, they all raised their vigilance and spread out their perception with all their might.
Lu Qing had also obtained a three-star resource from the exchange tab.
In the end, the upgrade failed, and only the quality of the resources was slightly improved.
The cultivators in the mine vein also had a clear perception at this moment. The energy that came from all over the mine that belonged to the energy stones had become clearer and denser in that moment.
Although nothing strange had happened yet, it was very much like a sign of something.
At that moment, Lu Qing had already drifted deeper into the mine and further down.
He had a deeper feeling that the source of the changes in the mine vein seemed to be deeper.
That place had yet to be developed and was buried deep underground.
However, this did not affect Lu Qing’s exploration. Although the thick soil could isolate the transmission of ordinary energy fluctuations, it was not very effective against the energy of energy stones. Lu Qing could sense that he was getting closer and closer to the source.
Of course, Lu Qing’s vision was completely dark as he was in the soil. He could not see anything clearly. He could only rely on his perception to move forward.
However, this was already enough.
Suddenly, Lu Qing felt a burst of silver-blue light in front of him. Then, he suddenly saw the light.
He seemed to be in a cave. It was not big, and it was an irregular round shape. It was about four meters in diameter, and the size was about the same as an ordinary bedroom.
In the center, there was a round stone about one meter in diameter that was shining with a silver-blue light.
Lu Qing could sense that something was being nurtured inside.
However, the light was still weakening. It was clear that the upgrade had failed, causing the ‘nurturing’ to fail.
“The light that’s being emitted should be the source of the ore vein’s quality upgrade. However, since the upgrade wasn’t successful this time, the energy in the ore vein hasn’t been completely activated. “I’m guessing that the thing inside this rock is a by-product of the mine’s upgrade. Judging from its strength, I’m afraid that it’ll really be able to form. It’s indeed at the late stage of rank 3. Luckily, I wasn’t careless and called Li Yanling over. It’s a pity that we’re deep underground, and others can’t come down. Otherwise, I could destroy this rock first, and perhaps we could stop the formation in advance.”
Lu Qing had many guesses and thoughts in his mind.
As for destroying the rock by himself, it was not that he had not thought about it. However, in his current state, he could only use a third-grade sword talisman to cut it. However, it was obvious that one or two sword talismans would not be able to cut it. If he needed more, he did not have that many sword talismans to exchange for, let alone the consumption of karma!
While he was thinking, his hands would not stop moving.
It was expected that the upgrade would fail. To begin with, the chances of upgrading one’s level with three-star Resources through the three-star exchange tab were not very high. However, the gradual accumulation of the enhancement effect would make it easier for the subsequent upgrade options to increase the level of the spiritual heritage.
As for the three-star [ resource upgrade ], Lu Qing had prepared a few of them. He did not believe that he would not be able to upgrade them.
When he used the second resource to upgrade it, Lu Qing once again observed the glowing phenomenon on the giant rock. However, he did not manage to upgrade it successfully.
Lu Qing used the third one.
In fact, it was quite a loss now.
A three-star [ resource upgrade ] required 300 karma. After three consecutive hits, nine hundred was gone. However, for rare ore resources like the energy stone mine Mountain range, leveling up once would bring great benefits to the clan. In addition to the income of spirit stones, there was a higher chance of producing higher grade energy stone essences. This would allow the family’s artifact refiners to have better materials to practice with and promote the upgrade of the artifact refiners. At the same time, the cultivators of the family would be able to use better equipment, which would be helpful for the overall improvement of the family’s strength.
Moreover, if he spent 600 karma and did not upgrade the mine, wouldn’t he suffer a great loss?
At the thought of this, Lu Qing exchanged for a three-star [ resource upgrade ].
This time, the light from the Boulder was much longer than before. The light rose and fell, like a glowing heart that was contracting and beating.
