Chapter 35: Searching for the Spiritual Dragon Vein

  Su Yanzi, dressed in a black robe, looked at Huo Ran with a hint of surprise as he continuously set up various spell arrays. On his not particularly handsome face, those exceptionally lively eyes sparkled, and there was a hint of astonishment flowing through them.

  At this time, Huo Ran completely ignored the existence of others around him and devoted himself to setting up the Soul-Seeking Formation recorded in the Qiankun Tu Lu.

  Just now, Huo Ran suddenly discovered that there was a different kind of dense spiritual energy group at the bottom of the nearby land, and he immediately set up a spiritual exploration array to find the source of the spiritual energy.

  The Qiankun Tu records: Wherever the spiritual energy is exceptionally dense, it is either a dragon vein or a place where spirits dwell. If it is a dragon vein, depending on its size, it may give birth to a Yuan Jing Shi (Original Essence Stone) or a Yuan Shen Jing (Original Spirit Essence), which has great effects on living beings!

  Just now, with a rough sense of it, he suddenly felt that this should be the place of dragon pulse, and it shouldn't be small! In that case... thinking about it, he became excited. The Yuanyuan Jing stone is a treasure of heaven and earth, which has great effects on prolonging life and strengthening the body. Don't you see that when he was in Tiandian Village, he only absorbed nine Yuanyuan Jing stones, and his physical strength increased by three points!

  "Soul-Seeking Formation, activate!"

  Huo Ran's hands suddenly formed a series of mysterious hand seals, and the floating light dots in the air seemed to have come to life, jumping up and changing their positions on their own. After a moment, all the light dots had arranged themselves into a shape resembling the Eight Trigrams.

  The Spirit Seeking Formation was complete, and with Huo Ran's control, it began to rotate continuously. Su Yanzi was surprised to find that the strange pattern rotated in sync with each direction, and every time this happened, Huo Ran's eyes seemed to reveal more scenery, which outsiders couldn't see clearly.

  As the Ling Fa array searched, a series of images flashed through Huo Ran's mind, some were soil layers under the ground, some were rock layers under the ground, and some were underground rivers...

  "It's here, the Dragon Pulse!" As the Spirit Seeking Formation turned to the northwest position, a picture suddenly appeared in Huo Ran's mind. A dragon-like existence was between the layers of soil, as if it were a real flesh and blood body. The dragon's head was raised high, as if roaring!

  "Scatter!"

  Found the location of the dragon vein, Huo Ran immediately dispersed the Soul-Searching Formation and took ten steps northwest. Then, a golden great sword appeared in his hand, and he used this once-forbidden treasure sword as a shovel to dig into the earth...

  He Yan suddenly took out a large sword that seemed to be made of gold and used it as a shovel to dig the earth. Su Yan Zi was amused and laughed lightly, saying: "Hey, what's down there that makes you bear to ruin such a precious sword?" After speaking, she muttered softly: Such a treasure sword forged from the copper mother of ten thousand years is actually used as a shovel, it's really a prodigal son!

  Su Yanzi took one glance and saw the raw material of this golden great sword, but no matter what, it was impossible to know that this treasure sword forged from the Copper Mother of Ten Thousand Years had once contained imperial power, and once triggered, would explode with forbidden power!

  Cough!

  When Su Yanzi spoke, Huo Ran's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered that there was still an inseparable follower by his side! A moment later, he said while digging the soil, "If you want to get rich, come and help!"

  It was painful for Huo Ran to say this, facing the temptation of a dragon vein, he wasn't thinking about killing that black-clothed girl and swallowing it alone. Only... could he kill her? Since he couldn't kill her, it's better to take the initiative to show kindness, and the two of them would make a fortune together.

  The black-clothed girl, Su Yanzi, also seemed to be bored, and suddenly jumped into the big pit dug by Huo Ran, waving her hand to cast a colorful glow. All that could be heard was a 'boom' sound, and another pit of nearly ten feet in diameter appeared in the pit.

  "It can't be like this!"

  Seeing Su Yanzi still wanting to continue digging with 'barbaric' means, Huo Ran hastily stopped her. After discovering that Su Yanzi's blow hadn't hurt the dragon vein, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "This underground has a dragon vein, if you keep wildly digging like a headless fly, won't you end up destroying the dragon vein?"

  "Dragon Pulse?!"

  Su Yanzi was shocked and stared at Huo Ran, who had just finished speaking and continued to dig the earth: "How did you know there is a dragon vein under here?"

  The dragon vein is the source of spiritual energy, and generally speaking, areas with dragon veins have a mysterious aura. Whoever destroys the dragon vein will be punished by heaven! Although this kind of thing can't be seen or touched, and even has a superstitious flavor to it, cultivators always pay close attention to such rumors.

  In fact, there were people in history who stood up to refute it. In order to destroy the existence of the gas transport theory, they took action and destroyed a large dragon vein. At that time, no abnormal events occurred, and just when everyone thought this legend was false, that person passed through the tribulation. The power of the heavenly tribulation was a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people... Under such a powerful heavenly tribulation, that person only realized at the moment of being transformed into ashes that perhaps this was indeed heaven's punishment for destroying the dragon vein.

  Thinking of this past rumor, Su Yanzi only felt a chill on her back. If there really was a dragon vein under the ground and she really destroyed it, the consequences would be unthinkable!

  "You just need to know that the dragon vein really exists here, why ask so much!" Huo Ran smacked his lips and saw Su Yanzi stunned and motionless, using his arm to nudge her, saying: "What are you still dazed for? Don't you want the treasure inside?"

  "Ah? Oh! Want want want!" Su Yanzi was suddenly awakened, collected her emotions, took out a long sword from her dantian, and then drove her magic to make the sword larger. She followed Ho Ran's example, digging into the earth with one sword after another, but each sword was extremely careful...

  Although destroying the dragon vein would bring great disaster, being careful wouldn't cause any problems. If they were to excavate a dragon vein, they would really become rich, so Su Yanzi didn't refuse He Ran. Like this, the two carefully dug and excavated, until an hour later...

  In the dimly lit tunnel, there was only a night pearl as lighting. Su Yanzi held a fist-sized night pearl and pointed at the soil wall in front of her, saying to Huo Ran beside her: "Are you sure that digging through this layer of soil wall is where the dragon pulse is?"

  In front of her, a young man with unknown name and only six realms of cultivation could find the dragon pulse? Su Yanzi didn't believe it at all, but seeing his serious face, she surprisingly chose to believe! If there really was a dragon pulse behind this earth wall, then this young man...

  He nodded firmly, his hand gripping the golden greatsword tightened, and said: "I'll dig through this layer of soil!" With that, he slowly approached the earthen wall with the golden greatsword in hand...

  "Good... good..."

  As the last layer of soil was suddenly dug up, the dim tunnel was instantly illuminated by a milky white light. Looking at the natural stone cave in front of them, both of their faces were filled with joy and excitement, they were so thrilled that they couldn't speak!

  "It's really a dragon vein, and this is the dragon head!" Su Yanzi let out a strange cry, flashing into the stone cave, looking at the stone cave that was three feet in diameter and shaped like a dragon head, she looked around like a rural child who had never seen the world before entering the city for the first time.

  It can be clearly seen that in one direction, the rocks have formed a dragon body, and even the scales are clearly visible!

  "These two small holes should be dragon horns!"

  She looked up and saw two holes above, Su Yanzi exclaimed. Nature is really too mysterious, the rocks at the bottom of the earth actually formed a dragon shape, and the position of the dragon's head was even more so, it actually became a natural stone cave, and it was almost identical to the dragon's head!

  "Ah!" Su Yanzi's face turned pale as she stared at the stone cave, her eardrums throbbing again. She saw that one of her hands was covering her mouth, while the other hand was pointing to the center of the stone cave, her expression like a girl who had been stripped naked.

  In the center of the stone cave, there is a small pool where misty vapor rises, and milky white light overflows, which is the light source of the entire stone cave.

  Before Huo Ran could react, Su Yanzi suddenly hugged him tightly and shouted: "We're rich! We're rich!!"

  Because Su Yanzi belonged to a sudden 'raid', Huo Ran almost didn't stand firm and fell to the ground. When he saw the size of the small pool and the flowing objects in it, even though he had already made mental preparations, he still couldn't help but feel a wave of surprise and wild joy.

  But after his wild excitement had passed, Huo Ran patted the body that was still clinging to him and said, "Uh... can you get down?"

  "Uh..." Su Yanzi, who was hanging on Huo Ran's body, was stunned for a moment before jumping down violently, her face turning bright red. However, she quickly suppressed her excitement and pointed at the small pool, saying: "Do you see that? This is a pool of spiritual liquid, at least a thousand kilograms! A thousand kilograms!"
