Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Spiritual Vein

The Heaven-Mending Stone tore a crack in the prohibition left by the Golden Lion, and Su Chengyu, like a startled swan slipping through the gap, successfully entered the lair of the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion was immensely large, and naturally, its lair was also incredibly vast, as if the whole mountain had been hollowed out, with the cave teeming with dense Spiritual Energy.

You should know that the spiritual energy of nature in the Kunwu Realm is more than tenfold richer than that of the outside world, and within the Golden Lion’s lair, the concentration of nature’s spiritual energy exceeded that of the Kunwu Realm by tenfold.

"How can there be such thick spiritual energy here? Could there be a spirit vein?"

The so-called spiritual energy of nature, more accurately, should be called earth spiritual energy, which is all emitted by spirit veins.

In big cities, as urban construction progresses, spirit veins are destroyed, and naturally, the spiritual energy gradually depletes, whereas in mountains rarely touched by humans, the spiritual energy is relatively abundant.

At the core, spirit veins are a kind of mineral rock known as Primordial Spirit Stone.

In The Immortal World, it’s a higher-grade Fairy Spirit Stone that can give birth to Fairy Spiritual Energy.

In places like the Four Holy Lands of Taoism, there are huge spirit veins underground, so the concentration of nature’s spiritual energy is naturally higher. Plus, major powers lay Spirit Gathering Arrays, which condense and cycle the spiritual energy back and forth to further increase the concentration of spiritual energy of nature.

For instance, the reason the Kunwu Realm is rich in spiritual energy is that there are many Primordial Spirit Stone veins underground in the Kunwu Realm. Additionally, the Heart of the Dongtian in Kunwu is said to be an Immortal Artifact that can release Fairy Spiritual Energy, transformed into nature’s spiritual energy through arrays set up by the Kunwu Immortal.

The fact that the nature’s spiritual energy is so rich inside the Golden Lion’s lair signifies there must be Primordial Spirit Stone veins within it.

"No wonder this cave can nurture Dragon Saliva Fruit..."

Su Chengyu had an epiphany and rapidly headed into the depths of the lair.

In the depths of the lair, there was an underground river, where spiritual energy misted over the water’s surface; the spirit vein must be within that underground river. Guided by the unique scent of the Dragon Saliva Fruit, Su Chengyu followed the underground river and soon found the Dragon Saliva Fruit.

The Dragon Saliva Tree was only about three feet tall, shaped like a dragon, imposing in appearance, with golden leaves like dragon scales. Nestled among the golden foliage, a fist-sized Dragon Saliva Fruit with a golden sheen was particularly eye-catching.

The skin of the Dragon Saliva Fruit was covered with various strange patterns that somewhat resembled the runes of the True Dragon Technique.

"This is the legendary Dragon Saliva Fruit!"

Inhaling the fragrance of the Dragon Saliva Fruit, Su Chengyu immediately felt his spirits lifted. The Dragon Saliva Fruit was not yet fully ripe, but it was estimated that in another ten days or half a month, it would be completely mature.

According to the records, once the Dragon Saliva Fruit is fully mature, its fragrance lingers and condenses into the shape of a dragon, not scattering.

Currently, the fragrance of the Dragon Saliva Fruit had just begun taking the initial form of a dragon, still a bit away from full maturity.

Before coming in, the Heaven-Mending Stone had made it clear, unripe Dragon Saliva Fruits should not be picked, or they would be damaged and lose their value, and they would need to be uprooted along with the roots and nurtured further.

Su Chengyu immediately cast a burst of Mana and, along with it, he uprooted a large clump of soil from beneath the Dragon Saliva Tree.

"As expected of the fruit of a Spiritual Root, a natural treasure, even the roots of the fruit tree sparkle with light."

Su Chengyu brought out the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map and collected the Dragon Saliva Tree into it.

The Dragon Saliva Tree was exceptionally delicate and could not be stored in a Storage Ring, as it would quickly wither; this was because there was no Spiritual Energy inside a Storage Ring.

As a King-grade Divine Artifact, the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map was a space of its own, with its Spiritual Energy. However, the Spiritual Energy within the map wasn’t rich, and the Dragon Saliva Tree couldn’t survive there for long. Not only would it be unable to bring the Dragon Saliva Fruit to maturity, but the tree itself would also wither.

In short, the nature’s spiritual energy of the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map was insufficient to provide the Dragon Saliva Tree with the nutrients it needed.

Su Chengyu also entered into the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map, placing the Dragon Saliva Tree at the foot of a mountain — the place where the Spiritual Energy of the map was most concentrated. Furthermore, he intentionally threw one hundred top-quality Heavenly Pills into the soil beneath the tree to nourish it, preventing it from dying.

After setting up the Dragon Saliva Tree, Su Chengyu emerged from the world within the painting and hurried to leave.

Considering the cunning wile of the Golden Lion, Lin An wouldn’t be able to hold it back for long, it could return to its den at any moment.

If Su Chengyu ended up trapped in the den by the Golden Lion, his death would be certain.

Without the Ten Thousand Years Jade Marrow from Feng Jie Yu, Su Chengyu had no means to contend with an Eighth Grade Demon Emperor Stage Golden Lion.

However, as he was passing by a river, Su Chengyu suddenly had a stroke of inspiration. He formed seals with his hands, and a third eye seemed to appear and disappear on his forehead, revealing the Immortal Technique known as the Dragon Seeking Technique from the Heaven Mend Sect.

Of course, the Dragon Seeking Technique that Su Chengyu practiced was only the barest beginning of the Immortal Technique, not even worthy of being called the tip of the iceberg. It was taught to him by the Heaven-Mending Stone in the underground tomb in Suifeng.

The Dragon Seeking Technique could not only peek into heaven’s secrets, dispel illusions, and discern the Dao, but also locate Dragon Veins and Spiritual Veins.

Guided by the Dragon Seeking Technique, Su Chengyu flew along the river for a while and found the core of this Spiritual Vein, which was also the location of the Primordial Spirit Stone.

Once more, Su Chengyu formed a spell with his hands, casting a Water-Repelling Technique.

"Open!"

The water in the riverbed parted on its own, revealing the riverbed, and Su Chengyu immediately used the True Dragon Technique. The image of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon appeared behind him, and soon after, the massive claw of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon reached down to dig into the riverbed. In just a moment, a huge pit was excavated, and a glow rose up, instantly lighting the cave in a dazzling array of multicolored radiance.

"Primordial Spirit Stone!"

Su Chengyu was thrilled. With this Primordial Spirit Stone, he could fill the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map with rich Spiritual Energy, aiding in his cultivation and ensuring the Dragon Saliva Fruit matured successfully.

Actually, the biggest worry he and the Heaven-Mending Stone had before was how to bring the Dragon Saliva Fruit to maturity once they had acquired it.

The best solution, naturally, was to find a place where nature’s spiritual energy was rich to replant it, but doing so would inevitably attract the covetous attention of others.

With the Primordial Spirit Stone in hand, all their problems were easily resolved, and it would greatly benefit Su Chengyu’s future cultivation as well.

This Primordial Spirit Stone alone could found a sect, serving as the source of the sect’s Spiritual Energy with plenty to spare.

Overjoyed, Su Chengyu reached out through the air, executing the Dragon-Grabbing Hand, and drew the basketball-sized Primordial Spirit Stone towards himself.

Although the Primordial Spirit Stone was only the size of a basketball, its true weight exceeded one hundred thousand pounds. It was only with the Dragon-Grabbing Hand and his powerful Mana that Su Chengyu was able to draw the Primordial Spirit Stone towards him.

The Primordial Spirit Stone looked stunning, emitting a brilliant light that wasn’t an exaggeration to describe as shining like a thousand rays of light. Su Chengyu did not dare to appreciate it closely, immediately storing the Primordial Spirit Stone in the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map and flying towards the entrance of the den.

With the Primordial Spirit Stone removed, the nature’s spiritual energy in this den would gradually dissipate, eventually maintaining a level similar to or slightly better than that of the Kunwu Realm, as there were likely still some small Primordial Spirit Stones in the river. Su Chengyu no longer had time for scavenging.

This harvest was already very substantial; one must not be overly greedy!
