Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Spiritual Vein Heart

Spirit Turtle Basin, inside the cave mansion.

Lu Li sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Feeling the essence blood inside his body increase by another drop, he felt extremely satisfied.

It had been over two months since the last battle against the demon cultivator had taken place.

After staying on Mystic Moon Island for a few days, he directly headed to the Spirit Turtle Cave Mansion.

“Still, this place is more comfortable to live in, with a second-stage spirit vein for my sole use and an ample supply of spiritual energy.”

He rose and walked toward the outside of the secret chamber.

During this time, he had done nothing but water the spirit rice and spirit grass daily and feed the ant larvae. @@novelbin@@

After prolonged feeding, the ant larvae had all transformed into Qi Refinement Realm Demon Beasts, and their numbers had reached over ten thousand, initially forming a battle force.

Moreover, his cultivation technique, “Triple-Spirit Refinement Art,” had been started.

With each refinement, his mana became purer.

“It shouldn’t take long to reach the limit.”

Soon, Lu Li reached the insect room.

Inside, countless ant larvae flew around, not fearing his arrival; they all flew towards him and encircled him, as if they were dressing him in insect clothing.

Lu Li made a mental command to two insect kings.

A group of ants quickly gathered, forming several fist-sized spheres before all flying into his sleeves, concealed.

“These groups of ants will only need timely feeding in the future, and when the time comes, their enhanced strength will be a significant aid.”

After collecting the spiritual insects, he immediately turned and left.

Walking toward the most westerly part of the cave mansion.

Soon, he arrived near a vast cave entrance.

The entrance spanned several zhang in radius, surrounded by piles of dark brown rocks, from which an astonishing amount of spiritual energy was currently emanating.

This was a tunnel that he had specifically instructed Iron Pillar to dig, leading directly to deep within the spirit vein.

The mountain was extremely hard; thus, Iron Pillar had dug for many days to reach the bottom of the mountain, nearly touching the spirit vein beneath.

If not for his promise of more than twenty spirit fish, it might have taken even longer, leaving Iron Pillar quite aggrieved.

Lu Li slowly entered the cave and headed to the bottom.

As soon as he stepped in, he felt a coolness all around him as a massive amount of spiritual energy rushed toward his face.

The surrounding rock walls were nearly transformed into a semi-jade state, emitting a luminous glow.

He proceeded slowly along the passage and soon reached deep inside the cave.

There, a huge expanse filled with jade-like crystals wholly occupied the space.

Clouds of spiritual energy twirled in the air, almost forming a mist.

“It seems this place isn’t far from the heart of the spirit vein to have nurtured such a state.”

Lu Li hesitated no longer, drew his flying sword, and struck towards the forward jade.

“Clang…”

A crisp sound echoed as a small chunk was harshly cut from the center of the jade wall, leaving a small indentation.

Lu Li took out the Spiritual Vein Heart from his storage bag, the item glowing white as jade in his hand, emitting a slight coolness.

He slowly pressed the Spiritual Vein Heart into the indentation, quickly fitting it inside.

Then, a miraculous thing happened.

The Spiritual Vein Heart seemed to turn into a bizarre liquid and slowly flowed into the jade.

It disappeared into the indentation shortly.

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that the spiritual energy of the place had slightly intensified.

After finishing this, he turned and walked outside.

Ever since he had heard the old Spirit Monkey ancestor mention this item, he had kept it in mind, leading to today’s actions.

“If there were a large number of Spiritual Vein Hearts, I wonder if the spirit vein here could transform?”

“As this place is the foundation of his abode, if he could elevate the grade of the spirit vein, he would surely try everything possible.”

Lu Li thought silently to himself.

However, the Spiritual Vein Heart was very rare; he couldn’t go about like a demon cultivator, attacking spiritual mountains everywhere to extract the Spiritual Vein Heart; he could only pin his hopes on the undersea spiritual mountain.

His mind whirling with thoughts, he quickly arrived at the edge of the Cold Pond.

There, Iron Pillar was circling an open area, his body white as jade radiating a faint glow, his black stripes already quite dim, and his mouth corners were flattening, showing signs of transformation.

However, fearing a mishap, Lu Li repeatedly instructed him not to rush to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, suggesting that he wait for Lu Li to find some Spirit Pill for the tribulation later.

If he were unprepared and failed the tribulation, the consequences would be unbearable.

Seeing his master arrive, Iron Pillar gently swayed his tail, crawling over and rubbing Lu Li’s forehead affectionately.

Lu Li patted Iron Pillar’s head and then walked to the edge of the Cold Pond, where hundreds of spirit fish were swimming and feeding.

He directly scooped out more than ten fish, quite boldly.

He also took several pounds of Spirit Rice, cleaned them, and started cooking in a vessel.

Soon, a rich fragrance filled the entire undersea cave mansion, making Iron Pillar drool beside him.

Just then, a group of young chicks ran over joyfully. Seeing the two, they weren’t scared but pecked at Lu Li’s sole a few times.

Lu Li scattered some Spirit Rice on the ground, and a group of snowy-white chicks began fiercely competing for food, quickly finishing it and running away.

These Snow Cloud Chickens were the offspring of two breeder chickens, growing extremely fast under the nourishment of copious Spiritual Liquid, soon starting to hatch chicks.

It wouldn’t be long before he could taste chicken meat.

He also thought about gathering some spiritual materials to take to Bright Sun Island for his parents, who had not returned to their clan in this time and were very busy with their shop.
