The mystery of the Spirit Vein’s origin can only be comprehended by cultivators at the Void Refining stage or above.
But Lu Qian did not give up. Between his brows, a faint brilliance began to bloom. His Divine Sense grew increasingly concentrated, sotis like a mirror, sotis like a lake, and then suddenly transford into extrely fine threads, sifting through the location of the jade bamboo shoots bit by bit.
What he was searching for was not the Spirit Vein itself.
In the next mont, as if sothing resented Lu Qian’s probing, a powerful force suddenly erged, and the surging Divine Sense imdiately rebounded!
Fortunately, Lu Qian’s mastery over his Divine Sense was already ticulous. In an instant, he severed the connection with the outside world, avoiding the rebound attack. With a muffled grunt, he took a few steps back, feeling dizzy and with his mind significantly weakened, but luckily unscathed.
Seeing Lu Qian’s suddenly pale face, Zhou Chao cried out in surprise, but he saw Lu Qian holding his forehead, gesturing with his hand to indicate that it was nothing.
There is sothing, there is indeed sothing within the Spirit Vein! Originally, repeated investigations had yielded no results, but today there was suddenly a reaction. This thing must be the reason for the Spirit Vein’s promotion.
This thing is ninety percent what Master Moyun desires!
However, after the montary contact just now, Lu Qian was very clear-headed. No matter what this thing is, it is currently beyond his ability to probe.
It seed to rely shake its body impatiently, rebounding all of his tightly intertwined Divine Sense! Even if the treasure is good, one must have the life to obtain it.
Lu Qian stood upright with so difficulty, and the plan in his heart instantly began to unfold.
Regardless of what kind of treasure it is, it has now erged, and all conditions are ready. Next, it’s about showing all the cards to see if Master Moyun will make a move.
He turned his head and looked directly at Zhou Chao: "Brother Zhou, do you trust ?"
Zhou Chao nodded firmly: "I trust you."
"That’s good. Now that the Spirit Vein at Yuqing Mountain has inexplicably promoted, the power of Shuangye Alliance cannot sustain it. You naturally understand the principle of ’a man’s wealth is his own ruin,’ but for your Zhou Family, this is instead an opportunity."
"It’s better to offer the third-level high-tier Spirit Vein to the Xuanguang Sect proactively, rather than waiting for them to co demanding it. You can certainly gain Xuanguang Sect’s goodwill in return. The Xuanguang Sect has ten Spirit Veins, both large and small, and it is only logical to exchange for one that is useful. You don’t have to worry about this matter, I will arrange everything for you."
"What you need to do now is imdiately organize your clan mbers and prepare to move. Ti is of the essence. Just gather the valuable items. Ordinary clan mbers who cannot make it in ti should take shelter among mortal territories and only bring the family elite. As soon as I notify you, lead the elite to the Xuanguang Sect’s territory to receive your new Spirit Vein."
Zhou Chao nodded continually, morizing Lu Qian’s words, but couldn’t help asking: "It’s a great fortune from the heavens, but unfortunately, our Zhou Family lacks the strength and instead suffers from it. I was already ntally prepared to lose Yuqing Mountain; it would be best if the Alliance Leader cos forward to ask for a Spirit Vein. But this matter shouldn’t be that urgent, right?"
Lu Qian shook his head: "There is no ti to explain much now. Trust ; if this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will naturally explain it to you."
Over the years, Lu Qian had saved the Zhou Family multiple tis from dire situations, helping Zhou Chao control the family and guiding them on a path of normal developnt. Zhou Chao had long regarded Lu Qian as a deity, unconditionally trusting and following his instructions.
Therefore, even though the situation was sudden, he gritted his teeth and agreed, imdiately giving orders to start the action.
At this ti, the Zhou Family had about eighty cultivators, united without any main or branch distinctions, completely under Zhou Chao’s control. With his command, the entire Yuqing Mountain sprang into action.
Seeing that the Zhou Family had begun to mobilize, Lu Qian gave a few more instructions, ordering that the Grand Array must not be opened before his notification, and then imdiately took a Spirit Pill to ditate and recover his Divine Sense.
Once he recovered sufficiently, he imdiately left Yuqing Mountain and flew towards Mingjian Mountain of the Xuanguang Sect.
Familiar with the route, he saluted at the mountain gate and went to Huanjian Peak to et Hee Yangchen. Upon seeing Lu Qian, the Fourth Elder of the Xuanguang Sect, Hee Yangchen was in a good mood. With Lu Qian’s rapid Foundation Establishnt and the Yunshan Sect’s vigorous developnt, the Shuangye Square was profitable, and in the future sect leader competition, the forces on his side would be even stronger.
And Lu Qian’s first sentence made Hee Yangchen utterly shocked: "Elder Hee, the Spirit Vein at Yuqing Mountain under the Zhou Family has suddenly promoted to a third-level high-tier! I would like to present this Spirit Vein to the Xuanguang Sect through you; what do you think?"
Hee Yangchen couldn’t help but widen his eyes, a flush suddenly rising to his face.
After the ti it takes for a cup of tea, the two flew out of the Xuanguang Sect and headed back to Yuqing Mountain. Hee Yangchen wasn’t at ease and needed to see it with his own eyes before reporting to Master Fengfeng.
Upon arriving at Yuqing Mountain, they felt the Spiritual Qi rushing towards them and saw the Zhou clan mbers busily organizing their belongings. Hee Yangchen believed it by eighty percent. Upon entering the cave and seeing the resplendent jade bamboo shoot with his own eyes, the prideful Feathered Scholar couldn’t contain his joy, nodding repeatedly, "Good! Good!"
Lu Qian heaved a sigh of relief. Indeed, most people know that it’s impossible to detect Spirit Veins. If one wasn’t already aware of the Golden Core’s covetousness for it, who would investigate it as carefully as Lu Qian? A re glance and moving on, naturally, having no clue about the secrets within the Spirit Vein.
At this mont, Hee Yangchen viewed Lu Qian increasingly favorably. Since recruiting this young man under his command, one good fortune followed another. Most importantly, this young man was tactful and always considered him first. By leading to obtain this third-level high-tier Spirit Vein, his contributions would be heavily noted on the rit record, propelling him forward in the race for Sect Leader.
He couldn’t help but smile, "What benefit do you want?"
This was the question Lu Qian was waiting for. By handing over the Spirit Vein for Hee Yangchen to diate, he could naturally strive for maximum benefit, and amidst the storms, Hee Yangchen would take the helm.
"I have no ulterior motives and want nothing in return," Lu Qian replied with a smile, "However, the Zhou Family cannot be without a Spirit Vein. Please allocate a suitable Spirit Vein for them as a refuge within the Xuanguang Sect."
"Exchanging small for big, this deal is naturally worthwhile." Hee Yangchen agreed wholeheartedly, "I will now take you back to the mountain gate to report this matter to the Sect Leader and Zhenren. Rest assured, our Xuanguang Sect is not stingy. Having received such benefits from you, besides returning a Spirit Vein, there will surely be other compensations."
Lu Qian bowed and cupped his hands, "In that case, I entrust this matter to Elder Hee."
Hee Yangchen lingered a mont longer over the Spirit Vein before leaving Yuqing Mountain, taking Lu Qian back towards Mingjian Mountain.
With the repeated journeys, dusk had already fallen. The two arrived at the main peak of Mingjian Mountain. Lu Qian waited in a side hall while Hee Yangchen went in first.
After approximately half an hour, a disciple ca to inform him, "Sect Leader Lu, our Supre Elder invites you over."
Lu Qian took a deep breath and stood up, following the disciple into the great hall. In an instant, the astonishing Spiritual Pressure caused the hair on his body to stand, and a vast Divine Sense swept over him.
Lu Qian quickly fell to the ground in respect, "Junior Lu Qian, pays respect to Master Fengfeng and the Upper Sect Master."
"Your Consciousness Collection is impressive," a cold voice sounded, "Stand up."
