Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Chapter 9 Monsters in the Mine

"Uncle, I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about? I may be old, but I'm not going to die! We'll see how it goes. This time, let's see who can eat more in the mine."

Lin Shengqian is indeed obsessed with chess; he even has the mind to joke at this moment.

Lin Qing was speechless when asked the question, and could only nod in apology:

"Alright, then I'll trouble you to come with me, Uncle."

"I'll leave this to Brother Yunzhou."

Seeing that Lin Qing, despite his young age, was calm and composed, and with the help of two immortal masters, the miners gradually felt at ease and lined up and registered as instructed.

Some acquaintances also took the initiative to comfort the families of the dozen or so victims.

After making the arrangements, Lin Qing and the other person each put on "Armor Protection Technique" and were preparing to enter the mine one after the other.

Lin Shengqian, still somewhat uneasy, transmitted his voice to Lin Yunzhou.

"Yunzhou, you must be very careful and not cause any trouble. Otherwise, I will be in a difficult position."

Lin Yunzhou nodded emphatically.

Lin Shengqian was finally relieved. He patted his storage bag, took out a first-grade high-quality magic weapon called "Lingyun Spear", and walked into the mine first.

Lin Qing used the Spiritual Eye Technique, which allowed him to see minute details even in the dark.

Soon, the two arrived at the scene of the incident.

This is clearly a newly developed tunnel, with some fresh bloodstains and messy scraps of clothing still remaining at the entrance.

Judging from the direction of the bloodstains and the smell, the monster that suddenly attacked people should be nearby.

The two men roused themselves and prepared to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shengqian reached out to stop him from taking a step forward:

"The tunnel is too narrow, which is disadvantageous for us."

After saying that, he took out a talisman and a pile of spiritual herbs, and while infusing them with magical power, he chanted incantations:

"You told me not to bring this old man along, don't you know the saying 'Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure'?"

As he spoke, he lit the withered leaves of the spirit herb and used a whirlwind talisman to blow the smoke from the herb into the cave.

"Huh? Uncle is indeed incredibly powerful; he actually turned these withered spiritual herbs and leaves into treasures."

Seeing Lin Shengqian's quick wit, Lin Qing couldn't help but admire him.

Lin Shengqian was clearly pleased, stroking his white beard and smiling:

"Do you really think I, an old man, am just here to sit around doing nothing?"

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and his expression turned awkward.

"Little Yunqing..."

"Be careful!"

In my consciousness, two swift gray shadows rushed out of the cave, bringing with them a chilling, fishy stench.

"A blind snake in the mineral vein!"

The well-informed Lin Shengqian immediately recognized the true nature of the two first-tier high-grade demonic beasts in front of him.

Two blind snakes were seen, their bodies were grayish-black and slippery, their bodies were slightly thicker than an adult's thigh, their scales were as fine as iron, and their mouthparts were filled with sharp teeth.

"Qing'er, be careful. The blind snakes of the mine have been lurking deep within the mine for years, absorbing the essence of the iron vein. Their bodies are incredibly hard."

"Its mouthparts contain a deadly poison, and its body is permeated with miasma; one should not even inhale its aroma."

Lin Shengqian quickly explained, while simultaneously channeling his magic power into the Lingyun Spear.

The first-grade high-level magic weapon shone brightly, and a golden light flashed at the tip of the spear. Several condensed magical powers swept out, directly hitting the charging blind snake.

The lead blind snake opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp teeth, and exhaled a stream of foul air that enveloped the golden light, causing it to immediately wane.

"snort."

Lin Shengqian snorted coldly, slapped the Lingyun Spear with his right hand, and the spear transformed into three afterimages, simultaneously stabbing at the snake's body from the top, middle and bottom. At the same time, he threw a talisman with his left hand, and a fiery red light descended from the sky, instantly smashing into the blind snake's head.

While he was displaying his great prowess, Lin Qing was not idle either.

He instantly summoned the Azure Lotus Sword, a mid-grade first-tier magic weapon given to him by his father. With a quick hand gesture, the sword transformed into a streak of azure light and shot towards the vital area under the belly of another blind snake.

Seeing that it couldn't dodge in time, the blind snake simply twisted its body.

"Sizzle..."

The sword light grazed the scales, sparking a shower of sparks!

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes, recalling the characteristics of blind snakes, and an idea immediately came to mind.

With a flick of his wrists, the Azure Lotus Sword reversed direction, and at the same time, he patted his storage bag, summoning a first-grade superior Xuan Water Furnace.

"This sixth boy, could it be that he's going to refine pills?"

Lin Shengqian, who had been observing from the side, muttered something to himself, but didn't say anything. After all, children need to be allowed to grow up!

The Xuan Shui Furnace grew larger in the wind, transforming into a five-foot-tall cauldron in the blink of an eye. Guided by Lin Qing's magic, the dregs and wastewater inside the furnace were poured out all at once, and the bitter and unpleasant smell instantly filled the entire cave.

Lin Shengqian's eyes lit up immediately, and he understood Lin Qing's intention.

The mineral blind snake has no eyes and perceives the world through its spiritual energy and sense of smell.

Now, by polluting the surrounding environment with leftover medicine and waste, it's as if the two blind snakes have lost half their methods.

Sure enough, seeing that the sensory effect was vague and unclear, the blind snake gradually became restless. Both blind snakes kept flicking their tongues, attacking indiscriminately in all directions.

Seeing this, the two members of the Lin family were not surprised but delighted. After exchanging a glance, they attacked together.

Lin Shengqian split the Lingyun Spear into illusory images and randomly stabbed at the head of a blind snake. Then he summoned a long sword magic weapon and quietly took advantage of the snake's chaotic response to slash at its vital seven-inch acupoint below its abdomen.

Lin Qing followed suit, first smashing the Xuan Shui Cauldron at the other head, and then using the Qing Lian Sword to harass it continuously.

As expected, the blind snake, in its agitation, finally revealed a weakness in its hidden lower abdomen, and Lin Qing seized the opportunity to unleash another burst of golden light.

"Sizzle..."

This time, the snake's body was successfully cut open, and the golden light seized the opportunity to twist it.

"sensation-"

Blind Snake, one of Lin Qing's men, was the first to collapse to the ground.

The other one, sensing the fall of its companion, also became agitated, and Lin Shengqian seized the opportunity to kill it with a single strike.

"Hehe, it seems that Little Six is ​​still one step ahead in chess."

Having averted the danger, Lin Shengqian used the Great Wind Talisman to dispel the miasma and smoke from the cave.

The two dispelled their armor-binding techniques, and Lin Qing waved his hand, sending the Xuan Shui Cauldron and the Qing Lian Sword flying back into his storage bag.

The string of golden light, jingling, followed closely behind and landed in Lin Qing's hand; it turned out to be a rare set of chain-shaped magical artifacts.

This is a magical artifact that Lin Qing asked his father to refine using the scales of those first-grade mid-level golden thread fish. It is not only exceptionally sharp but also extremely fast. He named it "Meteor Blade".

What surprised Lin Shengqian was not the Meteor Blade magic weapon, but rather the fact that Lin Qing was born into a good family and had a first-grade high-level weapon refiner as his father!

"Little Six, you can actually control three magical artifacts at the same time?"

"Good, good, good, as expected of the Lin family's prodigy."

Under normal circumstances, due to limitations in spiritual consciousness and magical power, one can only control two magical artifacts simultaneously in the later stages of Qi Refining.

Because of his two lifetimes, the "True Scripture of Creation," and his arduous cultivation day and night, Lin Qing's spiritual strength was now comparable to the peak of Qi Refining, and the purity of his magical power was far beyond that of ordinary seventh-level cultivators!

This is also the result of his diligent practice of alchemy.
