Chapter 1603: Chapter 1623: Spirit Vein_1

"Black Thunder Sect!"

Gazing into the distance at the mountain peak, Lin Chen looked somewhat surprised, "Everyone talks about how the Black Thunder Sect is only a small sect without even a single immortal. I didn’t expect the Heavenly Dao Alliance to be hiding here..."

Guo Qiuyu asked, "Are you sure the Golden Winged Roc is here?"

Lin Chen nodded, giving his magical treasure in his hand a light shake. The needle in the centre of the treasure was pointing straight at the mountain peak.

"I was worried that the Golden Winged Roc might have been taken away, so I marked it. As long as it’s not in a place like the Qiqiao Hall, which can isolate everything, I can find it with my sense-aiding magical treasure."

"We have already circled around here for quite a while, and the needle always points to the Black Thunder Sect. It can be confirmed that the Roc is in there. Of course, I can’t rule out that the people of Heavenly Dao Alliance are temporarily staying here."

Guo Qiuyu nodded, "Find a way to capture someone, probe the situation within, and then make a plan."

After all, their opponents were powerhouses from the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Even as a late-stage Celestial Immortal, Guo Qiuyu chose to act cautiously.

Knowing oneself and one’s enemy ensures victory in every battle.

"Let’s find a place where we can observe the sect gate. Since it’s a sect, there should be people coming and going."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen placed a death mark on each person to mask their life breath, then picked a discreet place and waited quietly.

This wait lasted for three days.

Two figures left the sect gate, flying towards the distance.

"Someone’s coming out. Follow them."

The two of them weren’t strong, below the immortals. So, when Guo Qiuyu showed up, she merely waved her hand, and the two of them were trapped in mid-air, unable to move.

Lin Chen restrained the two, took them to a secluded place, separated them, then began the interrogation.

"I will ask both of you the same questions. If you answer honestly and the information matches, both of you can live. If anyone doesn’t answer or lies, I shall wipe them from existence."

The man looked terrified and pale, but hurriedly nodded, "Senior, I will tell you everything I know and won’t hide anything!"

Lin Chen said coldly, "Answer when I ask, if you take more than three seconds, you die!"

"Name?"

"Zhao Datong."

"Strength?"

"Mid-stage of god transformation."

"Is there a Golden Winged Roc on the mountain?"

"Yes!"

"Is the Black Thunder Sect part of the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"Yes."

"Explain the situation on the mountain in detail."

"Our Black Thunder Sect was originally a small sect with 100 or 200 members. The strongest among us was the sect master who was only at the Void stage. We didn’t even have one immortal and could only rule three surrounding cities."

"Five years ago, a man suddenly arrived at our sect. He was a Golden Immortal who incorporated our Black Thunder Sect under his control. We had to obey his orders, and we didn’t know anything about him then."

"Gradually, quite a few people came. All of them were at least of True Immortal strength and higher, even Celestials. All of them wore masks and never revealed who they were."

"We later learned that they chose the Black Thunder Sect as their base because they found a spirit vein in the north, about 400 miles away. They used the Black Thunder Sect as their base while secretly building an array formation at the spirit vein to absorb the spiritual Qi for cultivation."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Spirit vein? Gaseous or liquid?"

Men are born as the sons of nature, while spirit veins are formed through the accumulation of large amounts of purified spiritual Qi under special circumstances, usually located under mountains, thus the name.

There are usually two types of spirit veins. One is formed when spiritual Qi is absorbed into jade stone of special materials, forming a continuous vein of spirit stone. The other is where the spiritual Qi isn’t absorbed and fixed, but is in a gaseous or liquid state.

Spirit stone veins can be mined, and the spiritual Qi won’t overflow. However, once a gaseous or liquid spirit vein leaks, it will quickly evaporate into the air.

"Gaseous Spirit Vein, the quality can only be considered low-grade."

Lin Chen merely remarked "Oh," his tone somewhat regretful.

A gaseous spirit vein is much worse compared to a liquid spirit vein. One can only wonder how much spiritual Qi is required to condense into a drop of spirit liquid?

The effect of a liquid spirit vein would be at least tenfold or even dozensfold that of gaseous spirit vein!

Of course, spirit veins themselves are difficult to form in the first place, let alone liquid spirit veins.

The term ’low-grade spirit vein’ refers to the spirit vein’s purity level and its storage capacity being poor. Simply put, in earthly terms, it’s like a natural gas mine. The purity of the natural gas isn’t high, the storage volume is small, and the quality isn’t good.

Lin Chen finally understood why the Heavenly Dao Alliance chose the Black Thunder Sect as their base, and began to wonder if he could take this opportunity to share a piece of the cake.

Even if it’s low-grade, it’s still a spirit vein!

The spirit vein can provide a significant enhancement to the cultivators, especially for Lin Chen whose strength is yet to be strong, being only at the Earth Immortal stage. If he were to utilise the spirit vein for cultivation, the efficiency would be terrifying.

"How many of the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s powerhouses are on the mountain right now? What’s the situation at the Spirit vein?"

Zhao Datong replied: "The position of the Array Formation in the spirit vein is limited and can only accommodate five people cultivaing at the same time, so they cultivate in rotation, changing every three months..."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened.

Maybe there’s some potential here?
