Chapter 2362 - 2361: Searching for Mystical Spirit Stones
Ling Feng wasn’t idle either; by noon, he and Shui Lan activated the Star Chain.
This time, they didn’t need to pass through Panlong Nation and returned directly to Lingyun Island on Earth.
As soon as Ling Feng returned, he went to find Gu Li.
He shared his ideas, and Gu Li readily agreed, immediately ordering his subordinates to start preparations.
Mobilizing resources takes some time, so Ling Feng took the opportunity to visit Li Shiyun and others on Shallow Blue Star.
Having not seen each other for such a long time, the longing in his heart could no longer be contained.
Unfortunately, time was limited, and Ling Feng could only stay for two hours, which wasn’t nearly enough to say everything he wanted.
Still, it was much better than not seeing them for three months.
After a brief stay on Shallow Blue Star, he quickly returned to Lingyun Island.
By then, the Lingyun was already loaded with various supplies.
The sudden appearance of Lingyun attracted worldwide attention, with many speculating about Ling Corporation’s plans.
But no one expected this to be Ling Feng’s doing.
In the perception of countries around the world, Ling Feng had been in the Xuanling Realm for over a month and would be back in another month or so.
Once preparations were complete, Ling Feng flew into the air, reached the top of the Lingyun, and instantly stored it in the Space-capturing Mirror.
Originally, there was speculation about whether the Space-capturing Mirror had such a large capacity, but upon trying it out, Ling Feng found the space inside to be virtually limitless.
The massive Lingyun could be stored inside, which was beyond words!
The Lingyun was not only for transporting supplies but could also serve as a heavyweight weapon in battles in the future, bolstering Ling Feng’s confidence significantly.
Afterward, he and Shui Lan left to return to the Xuanling Realm.
With a large amount of supplies brought back, there was no rush to distribute them immediately; things had to proceed in a structured manner.
So Ling Feng only took out a portion and placed it in the City Lord’s Mansion, planning to gradually release more in the future.
Five days after capturing Xuantian City, the city was back to normal operations, bustling with construction, with participants for cultivation being selected in batches and beginning training in various locations.
The next challenge Ling Feng faced was the shortage of Mystical Spirit Stones.
The previously accumulated Mystical Spirit Stones were nearly depleted.
After all, nearly ten thousand individuals had been selected, and the consumption was frighteningly high.
Ling Feng set a timeline for himself; if nothing happened, he would launch a fatal strike against the Dragon Clan when there was half a month left in the trial.
Even if it wasn’t the final trial task, he could leave himself with half a month to complete other quests.
He had approximately one month left until this deadline.
As long as there was sufficient supply of Mystical Spirit Stones, by then, Xuantian City would have over twelve thousand Core Formation masters!
Even without mastering the Hidden Dragon Technique, these people would be enough to utterly dismantle the Dragon Clan!
With Shui Lan in charge of affairs at home, Ling Feng was at ease, so upon learning of the Mystical Spirit Stones shortage, he quickly set out with Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu.
As for Ling Yao and others, they stayed behind to ensure the security of Xuantian City.
According to gathered information, the Xuanling Realm wasn’t entirely forested; there were also deserts and coastlines, and Ling Feng’s goal with Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu this time was the coastline to the south.
There had been legends of Mystical Spirit Stones appearing there, and Ling Feng wanted to try his luck.
With their current realm, the three of them no longer feared the beasts in the forest, and they weren’t interested in the creatures containing Xuan Qi, as the content was too low.
Having once collected fist-sized Mystical Spirit Stones, ordinary trinkets didn’t pique Ling Feng’s interest.
The trio continued flying, and after trekking nearly a thousand kilometers, the forest finally disappeared, revealing vast open spaces.
The open ground was barren, covered in glaring white saline-alkali soil, unsuitable for plant growth.
The group did not linger, circling above before heading out further.
After crossing the saline-alkali land, a coastline appeared ahead.
The ocean here differed from elsewhere, with the seawater being pale yellow rather than Earth’s blue.
Upon nearing the coast, Ling Feng and his companions landed on the sandy beach.
The sea breeze blew against their faces, lacking the familiar salty scent, and carried a faint sulfurous odor, which puzzled Ling Feng.
Unfortunately, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu had never ventured this far and had no idea what was going on.
Ling Feng crouched down, scooped up some seawater, sniffed carefully, and distinctly sensed the sulfur smell, muttering to himself, "This seawater seems toxic, and organisms might not survive in it!"
"It’s easy to find out if there are any creatures—let’s just go take a look!"
Mu Mu said, eager to try.
"No!"
Ling Feng quickly stopped her, saying, "Our goal is Mystical Spirit Stones, not hunting. Whether there are creatures here doesn’t matter."
He didn’t want to waste time here, glancing over the endless coastline, he said to her and Xiao Xiao, "Let’s rest briefly and then start searching for clues about Mystical Spirit Stones. If we can’t find any quickly, we’ll change location immediately!"
"Alright!"
Having flown for nearly four hours, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu were indeed a little tired.
So, the three of them sat down on the beach.
Despite the peculiar smell, Ling Feng wasn’t too bothered, as it wasn’t particularly unpleasant.
Just as the three took a short break, a plume of water suddenly erupted from the distant sea, followed by a massive figure rising from the water!
Ling Feng and his companions stared in dismay, soon realizing it was a colossal creature—what had just emerged was a fish tail!
Judging by the tail alone, it seemed to be the size of an aircraft carrier; Ling Feng was stunned!
He quickly said to Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu, "Wait here, I’ll go check it out!"
"Can we go together?" Mu Mu quickly asked.
"No need, I fear it might be dangerous." Ling Feng replied as he ascended into the air.
Unable to follow, Mu Mu pouted and stomped her foot.
Flying a hundred meters high, Ling Feng proceeded towards the sea’s deep reaches.
Though it seemed close, in reality, he flew several kilometers before he saw an unimaginably large creature in the water!
The beast resembled a fish, but its size was so immense; estimating its length, Ling Feng surmised it must be at least a thousand meters!
Such a massive being was tens of times larger than Earth’s largest marine animals.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but be astonished, wondering what such a monstrosity could subsist on to grow so large.
While still surprised, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "Who’s spying on me?"
