Invincible Little School Doctor Chapter 2134: That’s Because I’m Poor!
Previously on Invincible Little School Doctor...
The shape of the spirit vein resembles a giant dragon; the dragon’s head is the gathering place of myriad spirits. If it’s a high-level spirit vein, it might even develop spirit wisdom here, controlling the spirit vein to move slowly.
Although the spiritual energy at the dragon’s tail is also abundant, it is much less compared to the dragon’s head.
"You can only live at the dragon’s tail. Could it be that there are other demon beasts controlling the dragon’s head?" While following the ghost spirit to its lair, Ye Haochuan asked curiously.
"No!" the ghost spirit answered seriously, "The position of the dragon’s head in this spirit vein is sealed by something unknown. I can’t enter it, so I can only settle at the dragon’s tail!"
"Sealed?" Ye Haochuan muttered these two words silently, and his curiosity was instantly piqued.
Before long, Ye Haochuan and Xu Lingfeng were led to a massive cavern. The outside of the cavern looked extremely crude, and the cave walls were also very rough.
But a ten-meter walk in, and the scene suddenly changed.
The cave walls were no longer rough. Instead, they seemed intricately carved. Even though they didn’t have any furniture, there was a sense of a luxury mansion. A few beautiful Luminous Pearls on the ceiling emitted a soft light, making the cave look very bright.
What exhilarated Ye Haochuan the most was that upon entering this abode, the overwhelming surge of spiritual energy and flower energy made one feel as if they had entered a cultivation holy land.
"The dragon’s tail has such strong spiritual energy, what would the dragon’s head be like?" Ye Haochuan’s desire for the dragon’s head grew even more intense.
After entering the cave, the ghost spirit did not stop but opened a passageway, just wide enough for one person to pass through, in a concealed corner.
This passageway led underground, roughly ten meters down, myriad dense red crystals appeared before Ye Haochuan’s eyes.
The density of red crystals here is far inferior to the spirit vein in Liu Bai’s Golden Pearl World.
The spirit vein in the Golden Pearl World seemed entirely made of stacked red crystals, with not a speck of impurity, and the quality of the red crystals was very high. Most had vaguely reached the level of middle-grade red crystals, and there were quite a few superior red crystals.
But here, most are not red crystals but superior, even middle-grade spirit crystals, and quite a few other impurities mixed within the veins.
"So this is the low-grade spirit vein?" Ye Haochuan speculated to himself, "So the spirit vein in the Golden Pearl World must be at least a superior spirit vein?"
Although a bit disappointed, he wasn’t ungrateful. Even a low-grade spirit vein was a considerable fortune for him.
"You guys go rest first, leave the hard mining work to this man!" Ye Haochuan said with a cheeky grin.
Xu Lingfeng pouted upon hearing this and snorted, "Look at you being so stingy, afraid that I would compete with you for this spirit vein?".
Ye Haochuan’s face showed an official smile, his expression was self-explanatory.
Xu Lingfeng cast a disdainful glance at Ye Haochuan before turning away with the ghost spirit.
The ghost spirit’s expression carried a hint of regret.
This place was essentially its home. Once Ye Haochuan mined the spirit vein, its cave dwelling wouldn’t be as rich in spiritual energy as it is now.
Ye Haochuan wouldn’t stop because of its reluctance. What he needed most now was red crystals.
Getting down to it, Ye Haochuan quickly assumed the role, transforming into a diligent miner.
Days passed unconsciously as Ye Haochuan worked hard under the spirit vein.
During this time, Xu Lingfeng and the ghost spirit in the cave noticeably felt the surrounding concentration of spiritual energy and flower energy significantly reducing each day.
By this day, the cave had become indistinguishable from the outside world, and Ye Haochuan finally emerged from the tunnel.
"Finally willing to come out? Quickly tell me, how much did you mine?" Xu Lingfeng asked eagerly upon seeing Ye Haochuan emerge.
"Not much, just three billion red crystals!" Ye Haochuan shook his head and sighed.
Xu Lingfeng looked disdainful upon hearing this, "Look at you acting all capable, three billion red crystals and you still seem unsatisfied, do you really think of yourself as a tycoon?".
Ye Haochuan chuckled and said, "It’s not that I’m not content, it’s just that there’s a huge fortune right there, and I can’t obtain it, it feels uncomfortable!".
As the ghost spirit said, the front half of the spirit vein was sealed by a mysterious seal, and after he mined the tail of the spirit vein, he could not progress further.
"That’s simple enough, let’s break the seal then, shall we?" Xu Lingfeng understood the truth and said carelessly.
"I was planning to do that, but I might need your help!" Ye Haochuan suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Xu Lingfeng seemed to understand something, scrutinizing Ye Haochuan said, "You guy, from the beginning, you planned to ask us for help, right? Acting all disappointed, how disgusting!".
Ye Haochuan smiled awkwardly and said, "It’s a misunderstanding, I just didn’t expect you to be so attentive to me, actively wanting to help. With your friendship, whenever you need help in the future, I won’t hesitate to lend a hand!".
"I’ll remember that!" Xu Lingfeng chuckled, didn’t say more, and let Ye Haochuan lead the way to the seal.
The trio didn’t fly into the depths of the forest but entered the tunnel again.
By now, the passageway had become much wider and deeper, red crystals no longer visible on the walls, only remnants of spirit crystals.
"You really have a black heart, you’ve mined so cleanly!" Xu Lingfeng couldn’t help but lament.
"What can I do? I’m a poor man!" Ye Haochuan chuckled.
After traveling several hundred meters in the passageway, the ghost spirit suddenly said in surprise, "Something’s wrong, the part exposed outside the seal shouldn’t be this long!".
"Of course, it’s not that long. We are now at the position of the outermost protective shield!" Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.
"What?"
The ghost spirit was instantly stunned and said, "The outermost protective shield of this seal is at least at the True Immortal Realm level, I’ve tried many times but couldn’t break it, how did you..."
"Ah, I have a special tool that has some restraining effect on the protective shield..." Ye Haochuan said lightly.
The words sounded easy, but the actual process wasn’t so simple.
Due to level restrictions, the Divine Concealment Sword no longer had the special effect of guaranteed breakage on protective shields of this level. It still relied on the repeated strikes of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth to barely break through the shield.
The Halberd of Heaven and Earth was a masterpiece of the divine-level Artifact Refiner Tian Dang, having reached the Pseudo-Immortal Peak level itself. Together with Ye Haochuan’s unrivaled strength below True Immortal, otherwise, they really would have had no means against the protective shield.
"The outermost protective shield might not be much, but the second layer, I’m finding it tricky." Ye Haochuan said with a wry smile.
As they spoke, the trio had already arrived outside a giant stone door.
