Lu Changfeng and Zhiwei, though both still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, could assist from the side and hold back the Stone Mother.
Especially Zhiwei.
She had the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword at her side, making her invincible within the sa realm during the Qi Cultivation Stage.
Even with a difference in cultivation level between her and the Stone Mother, she was capable of wounding it with her Lifebound Flying Sword and holding it back for a while.
Upon stepping once more into the Cyan Mountain Range, Lu Ping first set his sights on the Fire Source Stone Vein.
Since the magical power of the three siblings was sowhat depleted during the journey and it was already nightti, it wasn’t an ideal ti to act.
Better to conserve energy and have a good rest.
Coincidentally, Lu Ping also wanted to explore the Fire Source Stone Vein, to probe into the exact strength of that Foundation Establishnt Stone Mother, and formulate a corresponding strategy.
After locating the ore vein position and instructing the three siblings to stay put and remain vigilant, Lu Ping went alone towards the Fire Source Stone Vein.
Traversing through the green forest shrouded in miasma, reaching the vein’s location, looking from afar, surrounded by cliff barriers, the place appeared desolate.
A large mass of white mist spread through the air, like a sea of clouds at dawn atop a high peak, swirling with mist, a stretch of whiteness.
According to Lu Yuanshan’s description, a Mist Concealnt Array had been set here, concealing the surroundings of the ore vein, making the scenery unremarkable, appearing like an ordinary miasma valley.
Earlier, Xuu Yi, Lu Yuanshan, and Lu Changfeng had explored the ore vein, hewing out a mining passage that was now completely hidden under the array, forming whole cliff faces.
Lu Ping roughly surveyed for a while and saw Xuu Yi in a simple wooden house, guarding the place.
Thinking it over, Lu Ping didn’t establish communication, directly controlling his consciousness body, and drifted alone into the cliffs.
In the state of a consciousness body, whether traversing oceans or ascending and descending, passing through walls or water, it was all a re trick for Lu Ping.
Since he intended to probe the Stone Mother tonight, fully exploring now was best; he didn’t need rest, and ti was abundant.
After over half an hour, reaching the vein center, Lu Ping found the Foundation Establishnt Stone Mother.
Unaware of Lu Ping’s presence, the Stone Mother remained in a semi-dormant state at the mont.
If it heard strange noises or sensed life auras, it would awaken.
Circling the Stone Mother, based on a Golden Core Ancestor’s eyesight and perception, Lu Ping could accurately estimate that the Stone Mother’s combat power reached the First-Layer Foundation Establishnt.
It had just recently broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage, similar to Lu Yuanshan’s level.
Moreover, unlike demon beasts.
The Stone Mother, birthed from the ore vein, was composed of condensed minerals.
While its defense was strong, its movent sluggish, a major weakness.
To slay the Stone Mother while ensuring one’s safety, continuous high attack output was enough.
This was manageable.
Knowing the Stone Mother’s details, Lu Ping secretly sighed in relief; the odds in this battle were greatly in his favor.
Continuing to survey the Stone Mother’s surroundings, he discovered so stone milk-like substances, rich in abundant Water Spiritual Qi, slightly cold in nature.
This anomaly was very strange.
In a Fire Source Stone Vein abundant in fire attributes, how could there be materials containing frigid energy yet also spiritual qi?
Water and fire should inherently clash.
Since they coexist, there was an air of mutual generation.
Thinking this, Lu Ping quickly found the answer.
Here, a Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk had ford!
Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk, used to cultivate spirit dicine or spirit plants, could also refine Tier Three Elixir - heavenly and earthly treasures.
It provided great benefit when consud during cultivation.
More crucially, it aided Foundation Establishnt, increasing the breakthrough probability by ten percent.
Judging by the amount of spiritual milk, it was enough to aid three Qi Cultivators in establishing their Foundation.
Should the sect later produce Foundation Establishnt Pills and pair them with this spiritual milk, the success rate of Foundation Establishnt could reach sixty percent!
This was a fortuitous find!
When exploring this region earlier, Lu Yuanshan and the others were likely too busy dealing with Stone Mother’s attacks to examine the surroundings thoroughly.
They had no chance to discover these Thousand-Year Spiritual Milks.
Now that such a supre treasure appeared here, the Stone Mother must be slain.
With excitent in his heart, Lu Ping returned to Lu Yuanshan’s side, awaiting the next day to act.
The next day, as the morning sun ascended, the three t with Xuu Yi and inford him of their intent to deal with the Stone Mother in the vein, Xuu Yi’s gaze beca sowhat astonished.
"Has soone in the sect broken through to Foundation Establishnt?"
To kill the Stone Mother, one would certainly need Foundation Establishnt strength.
Xuu Yi pondered, his gaze shifting over Lu Yuanshan, Zhiwei, and Lu Changfeng, looking for any differences.
"I have established my Foundation."
Lu Yuanshan did not hide it, releasing the aura of a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, causing Xuu Yi’s body to tremble, feeling as though a great mountain pressed down, suffocating him.
Ignoring Xuu Yi’s expression and saying no more, after instructing Xuu Yi to continue guarding the place, Lu Yuanshan temporarily halted the array.
Finding the ore vein’s entrance, he led Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng deep into the vein.
Once the three entered the vein, Xuu Yi reactivated the array, keeping watch outside.
Upon reaching the Stone Mother’s birthplace, before seeing its state or appearance, it sensed the intruders first.
It swiftly opened its sluggish eyes, attacking imdiately.
Rumble.
Under the Stone Mother’s earth attribute magic, rocks materialized out of thin air, swinging like giant hamrs, hurtling towards Lu Yuanshan and the others.
Facing this sudden attack, despite being attacked first by the Stone Mother in an earlier exploration, now stuck in a passive state, Lu Yuanshan, with his Foundation Establishnt cultivation, dared not be careless.
Utilizing the Vajra Ring, he t the attack head-on.
Additionally, the Water Elent Shield was swiftly summoned.
Infused with magical power, the Water Elent Shield transford into a circular water barrier before him, shielding Zhiwei and Lu Changfeng.
Boom!
As a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, the Vajra Ring, once infused with magical power, increased from the weight of a flying sword to a massive weight, unleashing imnse force against enemies.
eting the attack head-on, it was like wielding a small mountain, explosively shattering the Stone Mother’s condensed boulder, crashing to the ground.
So scattered debris, upon hitting the Water Elent Shield, were all blocked.
"Clang!"
Just as this attack was neutralized, before the Vajra Ring returned to Lu Yuanshan’s hand, a cerulean flying sword behind him on the left erupted with a long, resounding hum, cleaving towards the Stone Mother.
A Lifebound Flying Sword, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword!
