49: Chapter 49 Intermediate Spirit Stone Vein

After returning to his Immortal Cave, Yun Chenfei checked Magic Scorpion's Storage Pouch.

He found a pile of stones inside that looked very similar to Spirit Stones, except that Spirit Stones were white, while these stones were black.

"Could these be Demon Stones used by the Heavenly Demon Clan for cultivation?"

Looking at the black stones in his hand that were emitting dense Devilish Qi, Yun Chenfei murmured.

Were the people of the Heavenly Demon Clan all this poor? Aside from a small pile of Demon Stones and two Demonic Cultivation Technique manuals, there was actually nothing else in Magic Scorpion's Storage Pouch.

Tossing Magic Scorpion's Storage Pouch aside, Yun Chenfei opened the System panel again.

Yun Chenfei tried several times, but the Secret Divine Ability Stars Shifting simply could not be cultivated; it was similar to a passive skill.

"This Secret Divine Ability Stars Shifting is currently only at the Entry-Level and can only transfer ten percent of damage. How can I improve it?"

"Does it improve as the Physical Body strengthens, or does it improve through increased frequency of use?"

Looking at the personal information on the System panel, Yun Chenfei fell into deep thought.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out.

"The Sect's Twilight Morning Bell?"

"Could something major have happened?"

Yun Chenfei quickly stood up and walked outside.

The Twilight Morning Bell was only rung by a Sect Elder when something major occurred in the Xuan Yue Sect.

When the bell rang, all Disciples currently in the Sect had to gather at the Sect Square, with the exception of those in secluded cultivation for life-or-death breakthroughs.

"Has something big happened for the Twilight Morning Bell to be rung this time?"

"Could someone be attacking our Xuan Yue Sect?"

"The last time the Twilight Morning Bell rang was over a hundred years ago, right? I heard it was rung when the old Sect Master passed on his position."

...

When Yun Chenfei arrived at the Sect Square, a large portion of Disciples and Elders had already gathered there.

Pushing through the crowd, Yun Chenfei reached the front of the square.

Whenever the Sect had a major announcement, the Sect Master, Vice Sect Master, and several Grand Elders would stand on the high platform.

Following them were the Deacon Elders, the Saint and Saintess, Personal Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, Outer Sect Disciples, and finally, the Utility Disciples.

Not long after Yun Chenfei had taken his place, Yi Kuhan arrived at his side.

"Senior Sister, has something major happened for the Twilight Morning Bell to be rung?"

Yun Chenfei asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure either. Since joining the Sect, this is the first time I've heard the Twilight Morning Bell ring."

Yi Kuhan frowned and replied in an equally low voice.

"Could it be because of the incident in the Green Bamboo Forest that the Divine Firmament Sect has declared war on our Xuan Yue Sect?"

Recalling the incident where Zou Su bribed assassins from the Soul Chasing Hall to ambush Lu Zian and his group of Inner Sect Disciples, only to be later injured by his Revered Master, Yun Chenfei spoke up.

"It was just a small matter; it wouldn't go as far as making two major Sects go to war."

"Even if Revered Master had killed Zou Su, the Divine Firmament Sect wouldn't declare war on our Xuan Yue Sect over a single Elder."

Yi Kuhan said casually.

Hearing this, Yun Chenfei curled his lip.

If Yi Kuhan knew that Yun Chenfei had not only stolen Ye Qingshan's Primordial Purple Qi but also drugged him and then snatched his saints hand bone, she definitely wouldn't be saying that.

With the arrival of Hua Qianmo, Li Zhenhai, and other Sect Elders, the two of them tacitly ended their conversation.

A quarter of an hour later, Vice Sect Master Jiang Shouyi arrived upon the high platform.

"The reason for ringing the Twilight Morning Bell to gather everyone today is to announce a major matter concerning the future of the Sect."

"Three days ago, we unexpectedly discovered an Intermediate Spirit Stone Vein at Black Stone Mountain!"

Jiang Shouyi said in a loud, clear voice.

"Heavens, an Intermediate Spirit Stone Vein!"

"Isn't Black Stone Mountain a notoriously barren land? There aren't even many Yao Beasts there. How could there be a Spirit Stone mine, and an Intermediate Spirit Stone mine at that?"

"If our Sect can possess a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone mine, within ten years, we will surely become one of the top Sects on the Water Moon Continent."

...

Hearing this, the Disciples below immediately let out a wave of startled cries.

The Xuan Yue Sect currently occupied two small Low-Grade Spirit Stone Mines. Those Low-Grade Spirit Stone Mines mostly contained Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with only a few Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

An Intermediate Spirit Stone mine was different; it not only contained a large number of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones but could also yield High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Currently, on the Water Moon Continent, only the Divine Firmament Sect possessed an Intermediate Spirit Stone mine, and it was nearly depleted.

The other major Sects were similar to the Xuan Yue Sect, with only Low-Grade Spirit Stone veins within their spheres of influence, differing only in quantity.

Because of Black Stone Mountain's unique location, it sat right on the border between the spheres of influence of the Xuan Yue Sect and the Divine Firmament Sect.

Half of Black Stone Mountain was within the Xuan Yue Sect's territory, while the other half was within the Divine Firmament Sect's territory.

"Not only did our Xuan Yue Sect discover this Intermediate Spirit Stone Vein, but the Divine Firmament Sect also discovered it."

"To compete for the ownership of the Spirit Stone vein, we have made a wager with the Divine Firmament Sect."

"In ten days, each side will send a hundred Disciples to participate in a struggle for the Spirit Stone vein. The winner will have priority mining rights for half a year, while the loser can only mine for one month."

"Cultivators above the Ninth Grade Spirit Refining Realm cannot participate in this struggle."

Jiang Shouyi's voice reached the ears of every Disciple in the square clearly.

"Each side sending a hundred Disciples to battle? The Divine Firmament Sect has certainly made a clever calculation!"

"If only ten or fewer Disciples were fighting, the gap in strength between our Disciples wouldn't be too large."

"With a hundred, I'm afraid we'll even have to send Qi Nurturing Realm Disciples onto the field."

Hua Qianmo said through gritted teeth.

After all, the Divine Firmament Sect possessed the only Intermediate Spirit Stone Vein on the Water Moon Continent, so the cultivation levels of their Sect's Disciples were generally higher than those of other Sects.

"Starting tomorrow, the Grand Sect Tournament will be held for three days. All eligible Disciples may participate, including Outer Sect Disciples and Utility Disciples."

"Those who place in the top one hundred of the Grand Sect Tournament, regardless of whether we win or lose the battle against the Divine Firmament Sect, will all receive an Opportunity to enter the Yuan Kong Ancient Realm."

Jiang Shouyi continued.
