Seeing that the Startling Mountain Rat King was defeated and retreated, the entire Startling Mountain Rat Group lost their fighting spirit, and they all retreated back in a blink of an eye, but they were afraid that the Rat King was still there, so they didn't dare to retreat too far, hiding in the distance and looking at Qingyang, their eyes were full of fear. This wave of attacks launched by the Startling Mountain Rat King, except for throwing more than a dozen corpses, did not cause much interference to Qingyang.

The King of the Startling Mountain Rat was extremely unwilling to do this, and hid in the distance and refused to retreat, but they couldn't beat Qingyang, so they could only form an encirclement, screaming and disturbing Qingyang's mind. Qingyang was too lazy to confront the startling rats, so he left the alcoholic queen bee and the iron-armed spirit monkey to block the group of startling rats, and he turned around and burrowed into the nest of the king of the startling rats behind.

As soon as he entered the cave, Qingyang was attracted by something in one of the corners, and suddenly countless spiritual lights came into view, almost dazzling his eyes. Looking at the things in that corner, Qingyang couldn't help but grow his mouth, and he couldn't close it for a long time, it turned out that in this inconspicuous corner, there were two large piles of spirit stones.

Among them, the pile with a relatively large number is of course still a common low-grade spirit stone, roughly estimated, the number is as many as two or three thousand, and the number of the other pile is relatively small, only more than twenty, but they are all medium-grade spirit stones, and the value is no worse than that pile of lower-grade spirit stones.

If you add the spirit stones found in another mountain rat's nest before, the total number has exceeded six thousand, and with these spirit stones, you can buy more Zhuji Dan materials, so that you will be one step closer to the goal of ten materials you set before, and when your cultivation reaches the perfection of qi refining, you will definitely be able to gather all the remaining materials.

Qingyang walked quickly to the spirit stone pile, and was about to collect the spirit stone in front of him, when suddenly his eyes caught a glimpse of a relatively special spirit stone behind the middle grade spirit stone pile. This piece is not much different from other spirit stones in appearance, but the spiritual power contained in it is extremely surging, almost dozens of times that of medium-grade spirit stones, and if it is with low-grade spirit stones, it must have reached thousands of times.

This...... Could this be a high-grade spirit stone? Qingyang almost couldn't believe his eyes, and hurriedly took the spirit stone in his hand, and after repeated observations, he finally confirmed that this was a high-grade spirit stone, and it was also the only high-grade spirit stone in this Shocking Mountain Rat King's lair.

No wonder the Startling Mountain Rat King tried his best to stop himself before, it turned out that there was such a good thing in his lair, and the value of this piece alone was higher than that of the other two piles of spirit stones.

A piece of high-grade spirit stone is worth more than 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, the key is that this thing is extremely rare, even if you have tens of thousands of spirit stones, there is no place to exchange them.

Just from the lair of a startling mountain rat king, he found a spirit stone worth more than 10,000, Qingyang is extremely rich among the qi refining cultivators, but he has never seen so many spirit stones at one time, developed, this time it is really developed.

It was easy to suppress his excitement, Qingyang was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he hurriedly put all the spirit stones into the drunken immortal gourd, and when the spirit stones were collected, he had the heart to carefully observe the lair of the Startling Mountain Rat King. The nest of the king is really different, the whole cave is not big, but it is neatly decorated, and it doesn't look like an ordinary mountain rat lives.

In the deepest part of the cave there is a pile of compacted soft grass, on which a lot of gray-yellow hairs have fallen, and on the edge of the soft grass, there are even some fragments of spirit grass and spirit stones, it seems that this is the place where the Ratking sleeps and eats.

Except for the pile of soft grass and the pile of spirit stones that were taken away by Qingyang, the entire mountain rat king's lair was empty, and there was nothing else superfluous. Although Qingyang got a lot of spirit stones, he didn't find a spirit stone vein nearby, could it be that these spirit stones were all obtained from other places by the mountain rats? Qingyang shook his head, it seems that he will continue to look for it.

Qingyang was about to leave, but suddenly felt a faint trace of spiritual power coming out of the top of his head, this spiritual power was very similar to the spiritual power of the medium-grade spirit stone, but when he looked up, he didn't find anything, so he released a trace of divine thought, and tried to probe into the ore layer above his head.

It was more troublesome to use the Divine Mind to penetrate the ore layer than to manipulate the magic weapon, but it was not difficult for a late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator like Qingyang, and after he probed the Divine Mind into the ore layer, he quickly found the source of the spiritual power, and it turned out that there was a medium-grade spirit stone more than a foot deep in the ore layer above his head.

Qingyang was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly flashed to the side, then sacrificed the Qingzhu Sword, and began to excavate the ore layer above his head with his divine thoughts. After three or two strokes, a cave more than a foot deep was dug out of the ore layer, and the medium-grade spirit stone also fell into Qingyang's hands from above.

Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, Qingyang couldn't help but frown, this spirit stone was obviously not artificially buried, that is to say, it is very likely that this is a spirit stone vein, and it is a spirit stone vein of high quality, and this medium-grade spirit stone in his hand is proof.

Qingyang's purpose in coming here is to find the spirit stone vein and successfully complete the task of the sect, and now he has finally found a clue, of course, he must grasp it tightly. After that, Qingyang stayed in the lair of the Startling Mountain Rat King, and spent a whole day, using his divine mind to explore all the surrounding ore layers, and found two more spirit stones.

However, these two spirit stones are both low-grade, and they are buried very deeply, and one of them was found after digging a large pit more than a foot deep in the ground. Although it takes a lot of effort, it also proves that this place is indeed a spirit stone vein, and with a little more time, you can always find it.

It seems that everyone's guess before was right, they did introduce the spirit stone veins occupied by the mountain rat group before, which caused the siege of the mountain rat group, but their strength was too strong, and the mountain rat group had no way to take them, but exposed their old nest.

After confirming the spirit stone veins here, Qingyang bent down and escaped from the cave of the Shocking Mountain Rat King, which had been dug by himself. Outside the cave, the Startling Mountain Rats are still confronting the Alcoholic Queen Bee and the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey, and the Shocking Mountain Rats have tried everything they can, but they can't break through the defenses of the Alcoholic Queen and rush into their caves to stop Qingyang's sabotage activities.

Seeing Qingyang, the culprit who destroyed his cave, come out, the eyes of the Startling Rat King were red, and he organized another attack, but the result was the same as before, except for leaving a few corpses of Startling Rats, it did not cause much trouble to Qingyang.

Calculating the time, there are still five or six days before the time of convergence agreed by everyone, and Qingyang is not in a hurry to go out, anyway, these startling mountain rats have no way to take themselves, it is better to take a turn here, and when the approximate range of this spirit stone vein is confirmed, it is not too late to go back.
