Chapter 55 Mountain Stone Chamber
Chapter 55 Mountain Stone Chamber
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze followed Gu Huan to the location of the spirit stone mine.
This is the edge of the western Gobi Desert. While other places have shrubs and vegetation, this place is just a barren expanse, looking quite desolate.
However, this desolation is nothing. If it were developed into an agricultural industry, it wouldn't be difficult for interstellar technology. At the very least, developing animal husbandry would also be possible.
The stone that Gu Huan brought was unearthed by specialized machinery used for land reclamation. The stone was unremarkable, no different from the other stones unearthed at the same time. It was only when the worker in charge of the work accidentally noticed that it seemed to have a flowing light passing through it that he reported it to Gu Huan.
As soon as the aircraft landed, Lin Shushu noticed the difference here.
Has it always been like this here?
"What?" Gu Huan was a little confused.
"Shushu is asking, has this place always been bare?" Mo Ze explained, earning an approving look from Lin Shushu. He then smiled gently at Lin Shushu.
"I haven't noticed that before, since very few people come here usually. Let me look up some information." After saying that, Gu Huan turned on his personal computer to check.
While he was researching, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze walked around the area, but because it was so large, they only briefly checked out the general situation.
"Found it!" Gu Huan's excited voice came from afar. The two returned to his side, and Gu Huan tapped a few times on the personal terminal. A transparent screen appeared before them, displaying information about Star R15.
Upon seeing this, they were all stunned.
The fact that this area was a forest thousands of years ago was not surprising to the three of them; after all, in the torrent of history, it is only natural for the sea to turn into mulberry fields.
To their astonishment, this all happened overnight, and no one knows why. Researchers had investigated before, but all their efforts were in vain.
Because R15 was a remote planet and the area was uninhabited, it did not receive enough attention and was gradually forgotten after several unsuccessful explorations.
"Did you find anything?" Gu Huan had noticed something while the two were wandering around, so he asked casually.
"Not for now." Lin Shushu wasn't sure either, since on the surface, there was nothing wrong with the place.
Gu Huan didn't mind. He asked again, "Are you sure you don't need to help with the mining? These rocks are quite hard."
Lin Shushu thanked him for his kindness again.
Seeing their insistence, Gu Huan stopped trying to persuade them. "Would you like to stay here and continue investigating, or go back first?"
"Go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll take a look ourselves."
After Gu Huan left, Lin Shushu closed her eyes and released her divine sense. Now that she was in the Nascent Soul stage, everything within the reach of her divine sense was in her mind.
After opening her eyes, Lin Shushu took Mo Ze's hand and teleported to a secluded spot among the rocks.
Even with Mo Ze's abilities, he couldn't see anything special about this place. "Shu Shu, what is this?"
Lin Shushu formed hand seals, drawing an intricate pattern in the air. She infused the pattern with spiritual energy, and with a wave of her hand, the pattern flew towards the mountain wall.
The next second, Mo Ze's pupils dilated, and a stone door appeared before him, with a stone path leading to an unknown destination below it.
"Let's go." In his daze, Lin Shushu grabbed his hand and led him through the stone gate.
After they left, the stone door slowly closed again, as if nothing had happened.
"Shushu, how did you know there was a stone gate here? Also, what were you drawing in your hand just now?" Mo Ze had only been cultivating for a short time and had never heard of such things before. He only had a superficial understanding of cultivation methods.
Unlike Lin Shushu, even if she didn't cultivate immortality in her past life, she had watched a lot of related TV dramas and read many related novels. As you can see, during every winter and summer vacation, TV shows like "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the White Snake" are played on a loop.
As Chinese people, who dares to say they don't dream of flying through the clouds? The spellcasting gestures in fantasy dramas are actions that everyone enjoys learning.
Therefore, after obtaining the space, Lin Shushu not only practiced daily, but also learned other techniques, such as formations.
"This is a formation diagram. There are many cultivation techniques and spells in the books in the pavilion. You can learn them if you are interested." Lin Shushu explained to Mo Ze as they walked.
Mo Ze felt ashamed. He knew that there were many books in the attic, but apart from cultivating, he was always sticking to Lin Shushu and never thought about learning or mastering a skill.
Looks like I need to study hard tonight. I need to learn more to keep up with Shushu. I can't fall too far behind her.
After walking for about an hour, the two arrived at the door of a stone chamber.
The door was integrated with the stone chamber, and when Lin Shushu pushed it forcefully, the door didn't budge. Keep in mind, she was now at the Nascent Soul stage, and the force of her push was not to be underestimated.
Seeing this, Mo Ze was about to step forward to help when Lin Shushu stopped him. If she wasn't mistaken, this door also had an array, and it couldn't be pushed open by brute force alone. They couldn't forcefully break down the door either, in case they triggered some mechanism.
Lin Shushu observed carefully, recalling the array formations she had seen before. Suddenly, her eyes lit up—she had found it.
Unlike the concealed array at the entrance, the array on this stone door is offensive. Fortunately, they did not rashly force their way through, otherwise who knows what might have happened?
Lin Shushu couldn't help but become curious. Both the concealment formations in front of her and the offensive formations in front of her were techniques from the cultivation world. How could they appear in the interstellar world? Could it be that, as she had guessed before, a cultivation civilization also existed in the interstellar world?
Lin Shushu looked at the stone gate in front of her, thinking that the answer might be hidden behind it.
Next, Mo Ze saw Lin Shushu touching this and that, moving things here and turning them there. To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Mo Ze wouldn't have noticed that this stone door had so many little details hidden inside.
Finally, Lin Shushu placed her hand in an inconspicuous groove and gently turned the switch inside. Immediately, a dull opening and closing sound rang out, and the stone door in front of her slowly opened.
After waiting for a while and seeing no attacks, Lin Shushu pulled Mo Ze up and slowly walked into the stone chamber.
This was not a separate stone chamber; they were currently in the outer room, which was not large, only about thirty square meters. The walls were inlaid with luminous pearls, allowing them to see the furnishings clearly.
There wasn't much of a complicated arrangement; there was a stone table against the wall and a stone bench next to it. That was all.
There was a small pile of stones in the corner, and Lin Shushu immediately recognized them as spirit stone raw materials, just like the ones Gu Huan had brought.
Lin Shushu couldn't help but look into the inner room.
