The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1623 Spiritual Vein
"Black Thunder Sect!"

Lin Chen gazed at the distant mountain peaks, his expression somewhat surprised: "Everyone says that the Black Thunder Sect is just a small sect without even immortals, but I never expected that the Heavenly Dao Alliance would be hiding here..."

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

Lin Chen nodded and shook the magic weapon in his hand. A pointer in the center of the magic weapon was pointing straight at the opposite mountain peak.

“I was worried that the Golden-Winged Roc would be captured, so I marked it. As long as it’s not in a place like the Seven Wonders Palace that can isolate everything, I can find it with my sensing magic treasure.”

“We’ve just circled around this place, and the pointers are all pointing to the Black Thunder Sect, so we can confirm that it’s in here. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that the Heavenly Dao Alliance is temporarily staying here.”

Guo Qiuyu nodded: "Let's find a way to arrest someone, find out what's going on inside, and then make a plan."

After all, the opponent was a powerful figure from the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Even though Guo Qiuyu was a late-stage Heavenly Immortal, she still chose to proceed with caution.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

"Let's find a spot where we can see their mountain gate and observe them. Since it's a sect, there will always be people coming and going."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen placed a death mark on each person to conceal their life force, then chose a secluded spot and waited quietly.

This wait lasted for three days.

Behind the mountain gate, figures flickered, and two figures left the gate and flew away into the distance.

"Someone's coming out, follow them."

These two people were not very strong, being below the level of immortals. So when Guo Qiuyu appeared, he simply reached out and grabbed them, and they were immediately imprisoned in the air, unable to move.

Lin Chen subdued the two men, took them to a secluded spot, separated them, and began interrogating them.

“I will ask you the same questions. If you both answer honestly and the facts are true, you can both live. If either of you doesn’t answer or lies, I will destroy him completely.”

The man's eyes widened in terror, his face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly nodded: "Senior, I will tell you everything I know without reservation!"

Lin Chen said coldly, "I'll ask you a question, you answer it. If you take more than three seconds, you die!"

"name?"

"Zhao Datong".

"What strength?"

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm".

"Is there a golden-winged roc on the mountain?" "Yes!"

"Does the Black Thunder Sect belong to the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

"Yes."

"Tell me more about the situation on the mountain, in detail."

“Our Black Thunder Sect was originally a small sect with only one or two hundred people. The most powerful sect leader was only at the Void Realm. We didn’t even have an immortal. We could only govern the three surrounding cities.”

"Five years ago, a Golden Immortal suddenly appeared in our sect. He directly incorporated our Black Thunder Sect and made us obey his orders. At the time, none of us knew his background."

"One after another, many more people arrived, all of them at least True Immortal level, and some were even Celestial Immortals. They all wore masks and never revealed their identities."

"Later we learned that they chose the Black Thunder Sect as their base because they discovered a spiritual vein four hundred miles to the north. They used the Black Thunder Sect as their base and secretly set up an array at the spiritual vein to absorb its spiritual energy for cultivation."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Spiritual vein? In gaseous or liquid form?"

A spiritual vein is a large amount of pure spiritual energy that gathers under special conditions. It is usually located under a mountain range and grows along the rock strata of the mountain, hence the name.

Spiritual veins are generally divided into two types: one is where spiritual energy is absorbed into jade of a special material, forming a continuous spiritual stone vein; the other is where the spiritual energy is not absorbed and fixed, but remains in a gaseous or liquid state.

Spirit stone veins can be mined without leaking spiritual energy, while gaseous or liquid spiritual veins, once leaked, will quickly evaporate into the air.

"Gaseous spiritual veins can only be considered low-grade in quality."

Lin Chen responded with an "oh," his tone slightly regretful.

Gaseous spiritual veins are much worse than liquid spiritual veins. Just think about how much spiritual energy it would take to condense a single drop of spiritual liquid.
The effect of a liquid spiritual vein is at least ten times, or even dozens of times, that of a gaseous spiritual vein!
Of course, spiritual veins are already very difficult to form, let alone liquid spiritual veins.

A low-grade spiritual vein indicates that the purity and reserves of the spiritual energy in the vein are relatively poor. It can be simply understood as a natural gas mine in the human world, where the natural gas purity is not high, the reserves are small, and the quality is not good.

Lin Chen finally understood why the Heavenly Dao Alliance chose the Black Thunder Sect as its base. He then began to ponder whether he could take this opportunity to get a share of the profits.
Even if it's of low grade, it's still a spiritual vein!

Spiritual veins are extremely effective in enhancing cultivators, especially for someone like Lin Chen, whose strength is not yet strong enough and who is only an Earth Immortal. The efficiency of cultivating using spiritual veins will be terrifying.

"How many powerful figures from the Heavenly Dao Alliance are currently on the mountain? And what is the situation on the spiritual vein?"

Zhao Datong replied, "The array space on the spiritual vein is limited, allowing only five people to cultivate at the same time. Therefore, after the array was built, they took turns cultivating, rotating every three months..."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up immediately.

It seems like there's potential?
