Chapter 107: Who’s Tampering with the Great Chu Dragon Vein
Chapter 107: Who’s Tampering with the Great Chu Dragon Vein
Luo Xue followed behind Ling Yi, who swaggered out of the hotel, feeling utterly confused.
However, when she noticed that everyone ignored their departure, as if they didn’t even see them, Luo Xue finally realized something was wrong.
She couldn’t sense anything at all.
That could only mean Ling Yi used an extremely clever method to hide from everyone!
They didn’t drive. Luo Xue was dragged by Ling Yi as they raced swiftly to the shopping mall they had visited during the day.
When Ling Yi gave instructions to Little Fox in the afternoon, he hadn’t said what they were going to do.
So up until now, Luo Xue was completely in the dark.
The key point was that she truly couldn’t imagine that beneath the capital of Great Chu lay a huge, untapped Spirit Stone Vein.
Not only did she not know about this, even the people of Chu State living above ground were mostly unaware!
Arriving at a cluttered corner of the underground parking lot, Ling Yi felt somewhat speechless and muttered, “Adding legs to a snake.”
If there was a crack, there was a crack. Stacking a pile of junk here—were they afraid people wouldn’t notice something strange?
But this was nothing major, just a minor flaw that didn’t affect the bigger picture.
According to the Enchantress, one night was enough to drain this Spirit Stone Vein dry!
Only, the person doing this wouldn’t be the Enchantress.
It would be Zhou Tang.
The mall’s surveillance system was still tampered with.
Ling Yi and Luo Xue’s figures wouldn’t appear on the cameras at all.
Ling Yi casually moved the cement slab aside and glanced at Luo Xue, who still looked bewildered. “I’ll jump first, then you jump.”
Luo Xue: “…”
After saying that, Ling Yi leaped down in one swift motion.
Though Luo Xue still didn’t understand anything, she followed and jumped down.
After both of them jumped, a mysterious force in the air seemed to cover the cement slab back up.
The clutter that had been moved aside also returned to its original position, as if moved by invisible hands.
Deep underground, without needing any light, the moment that surging wave of Spiritual Energy rushed towards them, Luo Xue finally understood what Ling Yi was doing.
But all of this was just too incredible!
It made it hard for her to collect her thoughts for a while.
“Come, I’ll first teach you a Pressure Point Strike Cultivation Method. Try to remember it in one go; our time is limited,” Ling Yi said, looking at Luo Xue.
“Huh? Remember in one go? Even if I remember it, I won’t be skilled…” Luo Xue was even more confused.
“It’s fine. When a massive amount of energy floods into your body, you just need to guide the energy according to the Cultivation Method to unlock those Acupoints. After you unlock all the Acupoints, I’ll teach you a Meridian Unlocking Cultivation Method. The method is the same.”
“…”
Luo Xue was completely bewildered.
Was this even possible?
This completely overturned all her understanding of cultivation from over twenty years.
Half an hour later, Ling Yi looked at Luo Xue. “Did you remember it?”
Luo Xue nodded. “I remembered, but… is it really possible?”
Ling Yi smiled. “Hold my hand.”
Luo Xue reached out without hesitation.
Ling Yi said solemnly, “Focus your mind, calm yourself, and get ready to operate the Cultivation Method!”
As he spoke, he pressed his other hand directly against the huge Spirit Stone Vein in front of them.
Boom!
Luo Xue felt an unbelievable, enormous energy rush into her arm through Ling Yi’s hand…
Oh my goodness!
You could cultivate like this?
This was insane!
She never imagined that one day she could unlock all her Acupoints in such a short time, nor did she imagine that after unlocking her Acupoints and learning the Meridian Unlocking Method in less than half an hour, all her meridians would be completely unblocked!
Is this what the real Cultivation World was like?
Luo Xue had always thought she knew quite a bit about the Cultivation World.
But the experiences of this night made her realize she knew nothing about the real Cultivation World.
If not for Ling Yi, she might never have been exposed to this!
Thinking back to Ling Yi’s dismissive attitude towards the Qingshan Sect—that mountain that had weighed her down for over a decade—she finally understood.
The man she liked had long since stood on a higher level!
She had even laughed at him earlier, calling him a young dragon or an evil dragon roaring…
How embarrassing!
Breaking through to the early Golden Body stage in one go, Luo Xue could clearly feel the changes in all aspects of her body.
It was an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration!
A kind of illusion that she had the whole world in her grasp.
Just like how Ling Yi had felt back then.
Astonishing!
Thrilling!
Words couldn’t express her feelings.
Mwah.
She couldn’t help but give Ling Yi a kiss on the cheek.
The Enchantress wasn’t very happy.
“If she’s going to kiss someone, she should kiss me! Why kiss you?”
“…”
Then Ling Yi taught a method for the third time, passing the Golden Body Method to Luo Xue. He told her to quietly operate the Cultivation Method to the side and get familiar with the power of the Golden Body level.
Next was the truly big matter!
“Waking her up like this… is it okay?” Ling Yi was still a bit worried.
“Are you afraid I’ll disappear forever?” the Enchantress asked.
“Yes,” Ling Yi said.
“Then I’ll be strong and fight myself!” the Enchantress giggled. The next moment, she fell silent.
Ling Yi suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.
This feeling was actually quite strange.
Because the Enchantress and Zhou Tang were clearly the same person, just manifestations of two different personalities. Their memories were shared… to be precise, Zhou Tang possessed all of the Enchantress’s memories.
Even though she was a bit cold, she did not ignore or disregard Ling Yi.
But he still preferred getting along with the demoness.
“This mineral vein is good.”
A detached, ice-cold thought surfaced in Ling Yi’s mind.
“Zhou Tang?”
“Hmm.”
Ling Yi fell silent. He did not know what to say to Zhou Tang.
Zhou Tang did not say anything to him either.
Without the slightest hesitation, by using Ling Yi’s body, she activated her cultivation method and began madly absorbing energy!
Energy, thousands of times more intense than before, instantly poured into Ling Yi’s body. Then, the Starstone that had been infused into Ling Yi’s body flew out without a sound.
In that instant…the entire Capital of Great Chu shuddered inexplicably!
At this moment, countless people were startled awake!
Even ordinary citizens opened their eyes in confusion, unsure of what had happened.
At Lu Qingming’s residence.
A figure shot up into the sky!
At this moment, Lu Qingming was completely different from when he had met Ling Yi.
He exuded an overwhelming aura that blanketed the entire Capital of Great Chu!
His eyes shot out sharp beams of light, like cosmic rays, sweeping across the entire city of the Royal Capital.
He did not know what had happened, but he knew something definitely had!
Meanwhile, inside the Great Chu Imperial Palace, Dao-Entry Grade powerhouses were also startled, and these individuals appeared one after another, flying into the air.
Looking toward the direction of Lu Qingming’s residence, their faces all revealed looks of uncertainty and alarm.
“What happened?”
Someone called out in the direction of Lu Qingming.
Lu Qingming shook his head. His Divine Sense had scanned nothing.
But in his heart, he sensed that foreboding.
It gave him a strong feeling of unease!
As if some major event was about to happen.
Down below.
Diwu Qianqian rubbed her eyes and stepped outside. Looking up at Lu Qingming standing in the sky, she couldn’t help but mutter: “What’s so great about being able to fly? In the middle of the night…”
As she spoke, she yawned again and dazedly turned back, intending to go back to sleep.
Yet Lu Qingming instantly descended from the sky and appeared before her, looking at her seriously. “Shimei.”
“Hmm? Huh? What did you call me?” Diwu Qianqian looked at Lu Qingming in surprise.
It was true that they were martial siblings, but Lu Qingming had never called her ‘shimei’ before. Maybe it was because of the age gap, or the difference in status…in any case, Lu Qingming had always treated her as a junior.
“Shimei, I have a favor to ask of you.” Lu Qingming looked at Diwu Qianqian with a solemn expression.
“Wow, so formal. What is it? Just say it. As long as it’s not making me return to the sect, anything can be discussed.” Diwu Qianqian said while yawning.
“Go to the hotel where the Qin State Diplomatic Mission is staying and find Ling Yi for a chat.” Lu Qingming said.
Diwu Qianqian was no longer sleepy at all. She looked at Lu Qingming as if he were a fool. “At this hour? You’re asking me to go find Ling Yi for a chat?”
Lu Qingming nodded and said in a grave voice: “There’s no time to explain. You are the most suitable person for this.”
“No, why am I suitable? Make yourself clear?” Diwu Qianqian glared angrily at Lu Qingming. Wasn’t this just saying she liked to cause trouble?
Am I that kind of person?
“Aren’t you friends with him? Isn’t it normal to find a friend to chat, have a late-night snack or something?” Someone as cunning as Lu Qingming would not be intimidated by a young girl. He spoke without changing his expression.
“No. If I go, it will be tomorrow. In the middle of the night, a young girl like me going to find him…people wouldn’t know what to think, maybe that I want something to happen between us.” Diwu Qianqian refused without hesitation.
She merely found Ling Yi pleasing to the eye and planned to choose him as her cultivation target. Even if she really liked him, she couldn’t go find him in the middle of the night like this, could she?
What would people think?
“Just do it as a favor for your shixiong. I’ll owe you a huge favor!” Lu Qingming pleaded with an earnest face.
“No!”
“If you help shixiong with this matter, later if your master wants you to return to the sect, I’ll cover for you once!”
“Five times!” Diwu Qianqian instantly raised the price.
“That’s too exaggerated. Do you think your shixiong’s reputation is that valuable? At most twice!”
“No, at least four times!” Diwu Qianqian said with a resolute look.
“Three times is the maximum. Your master won’t make you return to the mountain sect right away anyway, you can use them slowly…”
“Deal, I’ll go now.” Diwu Qianqian beamed, looking very happy.
Lu Qingming: “…”
Watching Diwu Qianqian drive off in yet another luxury sports car and disappear from sight, Lu Qingming rubbed his head. Even though he could not be sure this matter was related to Ling Yi, he did not want to overlook any possible clue.
The key point was that, even now, he still had not figured out what exactly had happened!
Just then, someone ran out from inside. Seeing him, they said with a panicked face: “Master, it’s bad! The spiritual energy in the Cultivation Chamber is getting weaker and weaker for some reason!”
“Huh?” Lu Qingming was startled for a moment, then his expression changed. His figure flickered and he disappeared from that spot.
The next moment, standing in the Cultivation Chamber, Lu Qingming’s face turned extremely grave. He activated several Formation Arrays in succession, opened several hidden doors, and descended deep underground.
There was a massive underground space, brightly lit but empty.
A gigantic Spirit Stone wall, nearly a hundred meters tall, glittered radiantly, shining with a light that was almost blinding.
But now, that light…was slowly dimming.
Naturally, ordinary people would hardly notice the change, but for cultivators, it was obvious at a glance.
Lu Qingming’s face instantly turned ashen.
He lost his composure and roared furiously: “Who is tampering with my Great Chu’s Dragon Vein?”
