Journey to the head

Chapter 27 Finally seeing the spiritual veins
Xuan Jizi's expression also changed. As soon as Lu Qian retreated to his side, he took out the formation diagram and activated the Five Elements Formation.

The five command flags rotated and combined, and the formation was activated, protecting the two people in the center.

Hearing a roar, a huge black shadow shot out, its dark green scales flashing fluorescently in the moonlight. It was the snake demon!
When they broke the formation just now, Lu Qian and Xuan Jizi were still on guard against the sudden attack of the snake demon, but there was no movement. It turned out that it was hiding here.

Xuanjizi shouted loudly and rotated the formation, waiting for the snake demon to enter the formation and give it a thunderous blow.Lu Qian also held onto the Starlight Needle, but did not release it.

Unexpectedly, when the snake demon saw the colorful light of the formation, he paused, turned his head to avoid it, and swam close to the stone wall. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the pile of rocks and was far away.

"This evil beast is very clever." Xuan Jizi said proudly, "The formation is broken, and it has only one way to escape. There are two people from Shengyi Sect outside who are holding it back, but we are not in a hurry. Let's go into the cave to explore first. .”

Lu Gan nodded, and the two entered the cave again.

The cave was pitch black and filled with fishy smell.Lu Qian illuminated it with fluorite and saw that the cave went straight into the heart of the mountain, with no branching roads. The snake demon had already made a deep mark on the ground.

After walking a hundred steps, the cave suddenly opened up, and a spherical space with a radius of tens of feet appeared in front of me.

The stench here has faded away, and a faint spiritual energy is rising.

At the first glance, Lu Gan saw that in the middle of the cave, seven feet above the ground, a bit of mist was twisting and turning into dots of spiritual light.

That's spiritual veins!
Even with Lu Qian's mind, he couldn't hold back at this moment and became excited. Just as he was about to move forward, he heard Xuan Jizi say in surprise: "Hey, why are there bones here?"

Lu Gan finally regained his composure, and when he took a closer look, he saw a skeleton lying not far from the spiritual veins. The skeleton was half lying on a pile of stones, with an earth-yellow unicorn jade seal beside him.Under the spiritual veins, a jade plate exudes a warm luster and is absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

I think that is the formation base and formation diagram.

Xuanjizi waved his flag first and took down the formation base and formation map.Lu Gan only felt that the spiritual energy around him was in chaos, and the five-element formation that originally covered half of the mountain collapsed and became invisible.

The two of them approached and saw that only the bones of the skeleton were left.Judging from the decay of his clothes, it is estimated that this person has been dead for decades.

Since he died here, with the formation foundation and formation diagram beside him, this person should be the foundation-building Taoist priest who laid out the great formation.

A foundation-building Taoist priest with a lifespan of four hundred years, he is already a respected figure among monks.A sect with foundation-building Taoist priests can get rid of its micro status and be called a small sect. It can rule hundreds of miles of land, occupy a place in a county, govern dozens of counties, and have millions of mortals. .

Since the unexpected death of the founder of the sect, Master Yeyang, the Yunshan sect has never produced a master of Jindan, and it has declined rapidly.Lu Gan's master, the third-generation master, was only in the early stage of foundation building. His former allies, the Wang family, suddenly betrayed him and launched a sneak attack with Ziluo Mountain. They were suddenly defeated.

Now that they saw the body of such a foundation-building Taoist priest with an extraordinary status exposed here, both of them felt sad.

After careful inspection, they saw a dim yellow jade slip in the monk's bone-white palm, and both of them were moved.

"There should be some information in this." Xuanjizi stroked his goatee, "Maybe it was his last words. Let's take a look."

Lu Gan nodded in agreement.Xuan Jizi read it first, with a complicated expression on his face. He sighed softly and handed the jade slip to Lu Qian.

"I am Li Zhenru, the elder of the Xianyou Sect in Ningzhou. I am buried here today, all because of Qian Ji, the leader of the Shengyi Sect!" The first sentence shocked Lu Gan, and the two disciples of the Shengyi Sect were at this moment. In the mountains, is there a connection?Or is it just a coincidence?

"Since I entered the middle stage of foundation building, I haven't made a breakthrough for a long time, and I feel depressed. I also claim to be proficient in formations, so I travel down the mountain alone. Since I crossed from Ningzhou to Cangzhou, I came to Qingzhou..."

What follows is a rather cliche story.The proud Li Zhenru came to Qingzhou and met Qian Ji, the head of Shengyi Sect.Qian Ji claimed to know a cave that was a casual cultivator. The owner of the cave had died, but it was protected by a formation and could not enter. Therefore, he begged Li Zhenru for help and promised to break the formation and share the property equally.

Li Zhenru went happily, but after spending a lot of energy to break through the formation, the owner of the cave suddenly appeared.It turned out that it was not a fallen cultivator at all, but the cave of a sworn enemy of the Shengyi Sect. Qian Ji's move was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Naturally, the owner of the cave would not let go of Li Zhenru and Qian Ji. During the fierce fight, Li Zhenru was seriously injured, and the owner of the cave was also seriously injured and escaped. Qian Ji obtained the wealth of the cave.Li Zhenru asked Qian Ji sternly, but Qian Ji looked like he was sincerely apologizing, which made him believe him.

At the subsequent banquet, Qian Ji coaxed Li Zhenru into drinking Shengyi Sect's unique secret medicine, Zuixian Powder.

After taking the medicine, my spiritual power was greatly reduced.He was in the middle stage of foundation building, so the effect of Zui Xian Powder was compromised, so he barely escaped, but he was already seriously injured.

"I sent away my spiritual pet, but a spiritual snake refused to leave. Wow, the beasts still know the meaning of friendship, but Qian Ji is worse than a beast!"

"After hiding in the barren mountains, I accidentally discovered a spiritual vein. I thought that the sky would never stop me. But I didn't know that this was just a joke from God. This spiritual vein was originally the worst grade, but it turned out to be a shrunken spiritual vein! My injuries It’s too severe, and it’s absolutely impossible to cure it with this spiritual energy.”

When Lu Qian read this, he felt as if a ladle of cold water had been poured into his heart. He could no longer hold his breath. He hurriedly scanned the remaining information, then raised his head and carefully observed the spiritual veins in the air.

Spiritual veins are the foundation of the world of cultivation.The 2-year civilization of monks began when the first spiritual vein was discovered.

Spiritual veins have no physical entity and have different external forms. Spiritual veins may appear in the sky, the sea, vegetation, mud and rocks.They absorb energy from the void, transform it into spiritual energy and inject it into the world of cultivation.

Perhaps only monks at Lianxu level and above who can cross the void and explore the outer world can discover the principles of spiritual veins.But the super sects in the world of cultivation always keep their research on spiritual veins secret.

The spiritual vein in front of me is indeed the lowest grade.The external form is a handful of faint spiritual mist, which is about to disperse, and the spiritual energy is drifting.Looking at it this way, there is really only one lower level.

Lu Gan remembered the original spiritual veins in Yunshan Mountain, which was the treasure land found by Master Yeyang. It was a third-level intermediate level, and the spiritual energy was gurgling like a clear spring.The whole Yunshan Mountain is full of spiritual energy and vitality.Compared with this place, even carrying shoes is not worthy.

As time goes by, new spiritual veins will always be born, and old spiritual veins will also change. Some people's grades will improve, and some will fall.

But in general, the probability of a grade falling is greater than a grade increasing.

A spiritual vein whose grade has dropped is called a shrunken spiritual vein.

If it is a low-level one and shrinks again, won't it just dissipate?
