Chapter 694: Chapter 694: A Bountiful Harvest, Chu Zhongtian on the Verge of a Breakthrough!

Lu Chen had also set up a restriction, so he wasn’t worried about Chu Zhongtian overhearing him.

Even if he did overhear, it wouldn’t matter, since he had already agreed with Chu Zhongtian that they would cultivate separately for a while.

All he needed to do was ensure that his voice didn’t travel outside the mine.

And inside the mine, there were occasional vibrations that caused noise, so Lu Chen wasn’t too concerned.

This time, he used Spear Strikes Like a Dragon!

Since he wasn’t battling someone, his preparation for this strike was complete, and he gathered plenty of Spiritual Power!

Boom!

A loud noise erupted as the grey-white shadow of a dragon struck the mine wall.

The sound lasted for several breaths, and after the tumultuous dragon shadow dissipated, a new mine tunnel several meters deep lay before him.

"The effect is not bad."

Lu Chen cracked a smile, his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique swiftly scanning the area.

Inside the mine tunnel, Spiritual Power intertwined in a complex manner. Clearly, some Spirit Stones had been directly turned into dust by Lu Chen’s attack, their Spiritual Power now circulating in the air.

This Spiritual Power was easy to discern.

Besides that, there was just dust scattered everywhere.

Once the dust settled, Lu Chen’s own Spiritual Power had somewhat recovered. He stepped forward into the mine tunnel and used Spear Strikes Like a Dragon again.

When the Spiritual Power absorption from his Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method started to lag behind, Lu Chen simply sat down to rest.

After recovering sufficiently, he continued his barrage of attacks.

An hour later, he finally found something!

Amongst the billowing dust and chaotic Spiritual Power.

A dark stone caught his eye!

"Medium Grade Spirit Stone?"

Lu Chen was overjoyed. Without waiting for the dust to settle and the Spiritual Power to stabilize, he dashed over and grabbed the dark stone in his hand!

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a Medium Grade Spirit Stone!

"Haha, it looks like my method is quite good!"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

It was a double gain!

Two months had passed since he found his first Medium Grade Spirit Stone, and this was only the second one.

And how many hours had it been since he decided to try this new method?

Besides, constantly using up the Spiritual Power in his body would make the cultivation of the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method even more effective!

"At this rate, I could find three or four stones a day, and with ten days left, I could get several dozen!"

Lu Chen calculated a little and felt satisfied with the prospect, his heart starting to get excited!

By that time, not only could Chu Zhongtian safely break through to the Core Formation Stage, but my own breakthrough to the Nascent Soul could also be much easier!

In a surge of motivation, Lu Chen took out all the medicinal pills he had acquired from those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the secret realm. He searched for pills that could quickly restore Spiritual Power and swallowed one.

Pills prepared by Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were certainly extraordinary. Lu Chen’s Spiritual Power was soon brimming; this was faster than recovering with the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method through Qi Refinement!

"Let’s continue!"

Lu Chen’s gaze focused as he once again unleashed Spear Strikes Like a Dragon deep into the mine.

With one strike after another, the mine tunnel grew deeper and deeper, and before he knew it, he had blasted over ten miles into it!

And Lu Chen had once again obtained a Medium Grade Spirit Stone!

He didn’t show the excitement he had earlier, casually tossing the Medium Grade Spirit Stone into his ring.

When he felt his Spiritual Power might not keep up, he would take another pill.

He aimed to maintain the best possible condition, searching for Medium Grade Spirit Stones while creating the best conditions for cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

Looking back, he realized he had gone quite far. Lu Chen thought to himself, "I can’t keep going deeper, or if Chu Zhongtian comes looking for me, I won’t be able to hear him, and that might lead to accidents."

After pondering for a moment and looking at the wall in front of him, Lu Chen decided to change direction and blast his way back from the depths.

"Anyway, I’m just randomly looking for Medium Grade Spirit Stones; it’s not a problem to blow out a large space here!"

Lu Chen smirked, no longer using Spear Strikes Like a Dragon but instead using Sweeping Thousands of Armies to make his way back along the tunnel wall.

Compared to before, Sweeping Thousands of Armies consumed less Spiritual Power and was somewhat less efficient.

But this allowed Lu Chen to continuously return to his starting point without stopping, creating an extremely balanced state for cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method.

By the time Lu Chen returned to where he started,

a full day had passed.

And he had once again acquired three Medium Grade Spirit Stones!

It was at that moment,

that a surge of Spiritual Power came from the restriction he had set up. Lu Chen looked outside to see Chu Zhongtian standing there, his face full of anxiousness!

Had something happened?

A thought crossed Lu Chen’s mind as he opened a gap in the restriction.

"Brother Lu Dao, I think I’m about to have a breakthrough!"
