Chapter 951 Importance Of An Elemental Vein Source
The Grand Alstreim Ocean was already scoured by the people of time immemorial and by the people of present times at the surface. It was unlikely for a Peak-Level Spirit Stone to exist in this vast ocean, unless...
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim shook her head, "The Aqua Flood Dragon had dug kilometers deep into the already deep sea bed. I noticed that the part of our territory that was occupied by the Aqua Flood Dragon slightly came to possess a bit of water-attributed energy. Because it was in the ocean, it was hard to differentiate, but I noticed it."
"When I went to investigate, that is when I noticed that the Aqua Flood Dragon come out of the seabed crevice... I knew that there should be a treasure inside since the area around the crevice was extremely rich in water-attributed energy, so I formulated a plan to lead the Aqua Flood Dragon away. After I concealed myself and secured the treasure, I was just about to escape the ocean before its abnormal senses found me out."
"I see..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head.
'So it was deep under the already deep ocean bed... No wonder...' Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
It was simply impossible to dig every location of the vast and broad seabed with different elevations at each area, and the seabed possessed properties that made it difficult for the soul sense of cultivators to enter. This made it impossible for cultivators to siphon resources from the ocean unless they had unique means to locate resources and treasures.
For example, the Aqua Flood Dragon was able to use its special senses to locate this Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source! But even then, it took thousands of years to discover it, only to lose it to them in the end.
"However, deep in the crevice, I saw... two more Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources..." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim suddenly uttered with a sigh.
"What!?" Everyone in the room had their scalp turn numb.
Their faces held disbelief before Patriarch Eldric Alstreim absentmindedly moved his lips, "It's a Spirit Stone Mine that hosts three Spirit Stone Vein Sources? A Peak-Level Multi Spirit Stone Mine?"
A Multi Spirit Stone Mine meant that it hosted more than one Spirit Stone Vein Source. In theory, every Spirit Stone Mine possessed the ability to become a Multi Spirit Stone Mine. If enough time had passed, it is possible for a Spirit Stone Mine to birth another Spirit Stone Vein Source, becoming a Multi Spirit Stone Mine.
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim shook her head, "It's a Diverse Spirit Stone Mine. One of the three is a normal Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source, while the other two are Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources. I got one, and since you're all safe, I assume the Aqua Flood Dragon has been driven away."
"It probably took away the other two Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, one elemental and another non-elemental, and already escaped along with the millions of Peak-Level Spirit Stones and thousands of Peak-Level Vein Fragments." Grand Elder Elise Alstreim sighed.
Everyone's expression scrunched up in greed and jealousy! Millions of Peak-Level Spirit Stones and Vein Fragments! It would definitely allow them to revive to a better position than now, even with the current losses they have incurred!
"You collected a few water-attributed Vein Fragments and Spirit Stones?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim asked with a curious expression on his face.
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim nodded her head.
"Other than collecting a few Vein Fragments and Spirit Stones by the side, I had to be quick, so I didn't have the time to harvest the other two Vein Sources. Besides, if I took the other two Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, I knew that the Aqua Flood Dragon and the Alstreim Family wouldn't be able to live under the same sky if it ever were to find out that I was the one who took its treasures from its claws. Unfortunately, it found me before I can even leave the ocean."
"You were extremely great!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly spoke, "If you had delayed any longer, trying to harvest the other two Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, then you would've met your end right in that Spirit Stone Mine and ended up as a meal for the Aqua Flood Dragon."
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim frowned while she narrowed her brows and wanted to say otherwise, but she didn't say anything in the end. The way the Aqua Flood Dragon looked at her gave her the chills. It was as if she met a predator who was going to violate her. Besides, that Aqua Flood Dragon was famous for forcefully mating with whatever caught its eye.
She didn't even want to think about what would've happened if she got caught.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't ask about the water-attributed Peal-Level Vein Fragments and Spirit Stones. He cast a look at the Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source as a shiver ran through his soul. He was still in disbelief that such a treasure fell into their hands.
What kind of concept is an Elemental Spirit Stone Vein Source?
If news about this Water-attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source were to leak, their Alstreim Family would basically be invaded by many prominent and even the hegemonic powers from the mid-sized and large Territories.
On top of being extremely scarce, Elemental Spirit Stone Vein Sources are capable of producing Elemental Spirit Stone Vein Fragments and Elemental Spirit Stones! Although the production count was less when compared to normal Spirit Stone Vein Sources, it still generated enough to satisfy the cultivators to comprehend relevant laws from the Elemental Spirit Stones!
Comprehending Laws...
This Water-Attributed Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source was precisely able up to help a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse to comprehend Abstruse Intent of Water Laws!
Furthermore, it can produce a constant source of Elemental Spirit Stones that can help the younger generation to help comprehend Water Laws at the Law Dominion and the Law Sea Stage! Heck, the Elemental Spirit Stone Vein Fragments produced could even help a Law Sea Stage Expert to comprehend Water Laws, making it significantly easier to step into the Law Rune Stage with its extremely pure energy.
If the Alstreim Family decided to sacrifice Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources they have, then it is possible for them to give birth to two or three Ninth Stage Powerhouses! But it also means that they are exhausting their natural source of income, which would severely hinder their financial growth and lessen their consumption rate.
They would become a fallen power soon enough if they fail to obtain Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources, which is immensely difficult and challenging to obtain. If it was just this, the Alstreim Family would still dare to consume the Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Sources they have in order to produce more Ninth Stage Powerhouses.
However, the consumption and depletion of a High-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source and above is a serious crime, one that is punishable by having the entire power destroyed!
That's why no one openly consumed the High-Level or Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source. It was a joint agreement, a pact formed by the four large Territories combined, and it was established to remove the possibility of exhausting the resources present in the Fifty-Two Territories.
