Journey to the head

This experiment lasted for one month.

When the golden branch approached the spiritual vein of Bichao Mountain, the same phenomenon occurred as when it approached the spiritual vein of Lanshan Island.

The golden branch was very excited and eager. After Lu Qian placed it into the spiritual vein, the golden branch directly entered the illusory and untouchable spiritual vein.

Just like a plant taking root in the soil, the three branches and nine leaves of the golden tree fully stretched out, and golden light flowed on the branches, brilliant and dazzling. It absorbed mysterious power from the spiritual veins, and then began an extremely subtle -

Grow!

The spiritual veins in Bichao Mountain and Lanshan Island are of different levels and are thousands of miles apart, but the golden tree branch produced the same reaction in both places. Moreover, when Lu Qian approached the spiritual vein of Mianlong Mountain, he also sensed that the golden tree branch was restless.

In addition, Lu Qian had previously conducted experiments in the spiritual vein of Liuhua Valley for several days and obtained the same results.

These samples have basically proved that it is not just the spiritual veins of Lanshan Island that are different, the golden branches can produce such changes to all spiritual veins!

In the month after being implanted in the spiritual vein of Bichao Mountain, the golden branch, under the close care of Lu Qian, quietly absorbed energy from the spiritual vein of Bichao Mountain. While it was growing slightly, more and more spiritual energy was produced in the spiritual vein of Bichao Mountain, and the grade of the spiritual vein was actually raised.

However, just as it was felt on Lanshan Island, as the grade increased, the spirit vein's aura became increasingly old, indicating that the spirit vein was aging, and the day of downgrading or even destruction was not far away.

The previous conjecture was confirmed, this is some kind of overdraft!

The golden branches can improve the quality of the spirit vein, but the price is that the spirit vein will age and decay at an extremely fast speed.

Although Bichao Mountain has been corroded by the poisonous river, its spiritual veins are still very healthy and show no signs of aging.

But now, one month after the golden branch was implanted, the spiritual vein was forcibly raised from the middle level of level 2 to the high level of level 4, and then it came to an end.

The improvement of the spiritual vein can be interrupted. Lu Qian had taken out the golden branch from the spiritual vein several times, and the spiritual vein stopped improving.

But the decay cannot be stopped. After taking out the golden branch, the fluctuation of the decay of the spirit vein still exists, which means that it will eventually shrink. It's just that the decay speed has returned to normal, and it's unknown when it will be completely destroyed.

And the most important point was that Lu Qian was very disappointed and helpless.

After the spiritual vein was destroyed, no innate spiritual energy was produced!
Is it because it is not a natural decline, but an “overdraft”?
The fantasy that made people's heart beat faster was shattered. It was impossible to use the golden branches to deprive the spiritual veins and directly generate innate spiritual energy.

If this could be achieved, Lu Qian had no idea what kind of monster the Yunshan Sect would become.

Attack and expand the territory - seize the spiritual vein - destroy it to produce innate spiritual energy - absorb spiritual energy to improve cultivation - a new round of expansion
What a pity, there is no such fast lane.

But even if it was just to overdraw the potential of the spiritual vein and improve its grade, the golden branch would be worthy of being the Yunshan Sect's treasure!
Compared to the illusory future, the present is the most important. First, raise the spiritual vein to a suitable level, and the sect will benefit greatly.

From now on, as long as the golden branch is in hand, the Yunshan Sect will be able to possess a high-level spiritual vein no matter where it moves!

But the degree of improvement needs to be carefully controlled. If it is improved too much, the spiritual vein will be destroyed instantly, and all the efforts will be in vain.

Lu Qian cheered up and recalled the golden branch, holding it in his hand and examining it carefully.

After draining the spiritual veins of the Bichao Mountain, it did grow a little. The three branches and nine leaves became thicker and wider, and even a tiny leaf bud grew on the branch, indicating that new leaves were about to grow.

The overall length was originally one foot and seven inches, but now it has increased to one foot and nine inches, a growth of two inches!

Lu Qian slightly exerted his spiritual power, and the branches shone brightly, with golden light surging back and forth on the branches like a tide.

The power to enclose the space and lock the realm has become stronger!
What a baby!

Lu Qian couldn't let go of it and gently stroked it, then carefully put it into his dantian and suspended it above the golden elixir again.

This treasure was obtained from the fairyland, and it was a young branch of a mysterious giant golden tree. The vast sea of ​​leaves covering the sky and blocking out the sun, thousands of miles away, was as brilliant as a golden ocean. Whether in the Pure Land of the Life and Death Lord or the Toad Palace of the Moon Lord, there was a golden tree.
and many more!

Lu Qian suddenly remembered and mobilized the memory of Master Meng Chi again -

In a certain piece of memory fragment, in the fairyland of True Dragon Lord, True Lord Meng Chi had also seen the golden tree!
Although it was only a fleeting moment, the shocking feeling was definitely unmistakable!
In other words, there are golden trees in all fairy realms.

This further confirmed Lu Qian's previous guess that the golden trees seen in the fairyland were just branches of the real giant golden tree!

The giant golden tree took root in the endless void, and its branches and leaves pierced into the fairyland. It was the golden tree that covered the sky and the sun that he saw.

What on earth is it and why does it extend into every fairyland?

Whether it is the Yuanchen Realm or the Immortal Realm, what does it have to do with the giant golden tree?
These shocking speculations made Lu Qian stand still for a long time, and then he smiled helplessly.

A frog in a well cannot understand the vastness of the world.

He was just a small golden elixir, and by chance he came into the sight of the Heavenly Lord, and knew many things of ancient times, but no matter what, this was far beyond his level.

Random observation and guessing will do no good to ordinary cultivators, so they should keep these doubts in their hearts, keep their feet on the ground, and move on to higher levels!
Lu Qian sorted out his thoughts and also wrote down a few things that needed further experimental verification.

The spiritual vein's rank upgrade is not unlimited. The Bichao Mountain spiritual vein was upgraded from the second-level intermediate level to the fourth-level high level, but it was broken. What determines the upper limit of this upgrade, and is there any rule? For example, the second-level spiritual vein can only be upgraded to the fourth level at most?

The greater the spiritual vein's grade is, the faster it ages, but is the ratio between grade improvement and aging speed fixed? Is there a certain threshold, before which the spiritual vein ages more slowly, and once it exceeds this value, it will decay rapidly?
What is the "overdraft" of spiritual veins? Is it because the amount of spiritual energy that each spiritual vein can produce is fixed, and the output speed is accelerated, so the output time is naturally shortened? Or is it that the spiritual vein itself has the concept of "loss", and overloaded use will lead to premature aging?
We only tested the Bi Chaoshan spiritual vein, and although we got encouraging results, it was far from enough.

To answer these questions, experiments are needed. Lu Qian has decided that the next experimental subject will be the unnoticed first-level spiritual vein in Liuhua Valley.

Of course, due to the scarcity of spiritual veins, such experiments are a bit too extravagant. If these questions cannot be answered even after reaching the limit, then it is enough to first know the reason and then slowly explore the reason.

The most important thing is to use the golden branch well. Let’s take our time to understand the principle.

The Five Elements Formation was retracted with a shake, and Lu Qian moved his body and flew up.

Now that the spiritual vein is broken, only the bare Bichao Mountain is left. Without the spiritual barrier of the spiritual vein, the ten-foot pure land that was originally stretched out will be completely soaked by the poison.

From then on, Bichao Mountain became a completely poisonous mountain and a wasteland.

Soon the news of the destruction of the spiritual vein of Bichao Mountain will be passed back to the sect, but everyone will think that this is a natural evolution and will never imagine that it was destroyed by Lu Qian himself.

Lu Qian hung in the air, watching quietly for a long time, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. This mountain where the Yunshan Sect rose and revived finally played its final value and completely completed its historical journey.

Those who come later should be alert when they see this poisonous mountain. If they fall behind, they will be beaten. If they are not strong enough, they can't even protect their own mountain gate, which is really sad.

Lu Qian stared for a long time, then his figure flashed and turned into a beam of light, flying towards the direction of Mianlong Mountain. In order to avoid attracting attention, he did not even use the Stepping Clouds and Flowing Clouds Chariot.

By the time daybreak, he had returned to the foot of Mianlong Mountain and entered the mountain protection formation.

Near the mountain gate archway, there was the sound of roaring waves.

Lu Qian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge wave rising out of nowhere in the deep pool, like a fountain, a hundred feet high. On top of the wave, there was a dragon about ten feet long circling left and right, stepping on the waves with its claws and whistling with its horn.

It was the Jade Dragon Fairy.

Lu Qian became interested and took a few glances. He saw that the Jade Dragon was surrounded by waves. At this moment, because of its shrinking body, the waves were not large in scale, but they emitted magical fluctuations, which were free to gather and disperse without form.

The Jade Dragon opened its mouth again and spit out a blue water droplet that was like light and lightning. It shot out with a loud bang and created a huge deep pit on the surrounding mountains. The water droplet exploded and turned into a chain, which whizzed and swept away the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.

It is practicing its skills. It is rare for the usually lazy Jade Dragon to be diligent.

It was because Lu Qian sorted out a set of cultivation techniques and secret skills of the dragon and sea clans from Meng Chi’s memories.

As a backbone under the command of the True Dragon Lord, Meng Chi has a very high vision. These dragon clan's skills and secrets are all first-class and have extraordinary uses, but some are complete and some are incomplete.

Human cultivators cannot practice these skills, and Lu Qian was unable to distinguish them, so he simply threw them all to the Jade Dragon and let it practice them on its own.

He even gave this skill a name, called "Chilong Miaoce".

For Lu Qian, now that the Jade Dragon has been marked with the "Reverse Scale Blood Seal", the life and death of the Jade Dragon is in his hands. He can also vaguely sense the Jade Dragon's mood and lock its position. There is no need for him to think about any means of control and he might as well give it the whole book.

I don’t know whether there is a problem of iteration of martial arts for the dragon clan, and what level these ancient martial arts techniques would be today.

But for Yu Jiao, this was truly a blessing from heaven, and it made him dizzy.

It was originally a giant python that transformed into a dragon. Now its magical powers such as making thunder, controlling water, rising, and changing are all inherited from its own bloodline. It has never received any systematic training. To put it bluntly, it has relied on its own thinking and deduction.

Moreover, in this era, the dragons have fled far away to the seas beyond the stars, and it is almost impossible to find traces of them in the hinterland of the continent. For a dragon like Yu Jiao, which evolved from a snake, it is even more impossible for them to have a place to learn the dragon skills.

Even though his foundation was supplemented by the blood of a real dragon, his dragon bloodline was not inferior to that of a pure-blooded dragon, and his innate talent was definitely not bad. However, Jade Dragon's path of cultivation was not smooth as he could only rely on the power of his own bloodline to move forward.

Therefore, after achieving the Golden Elixir, even though he has been practicing for more than twenty years, Yu Jiao's cultivation is still at the early stage of the Golden Elixir, and his means of defeating the enemies are just the same tricks over and over again.

Now that I have obtained the "Chilong Secret Book", everything is completely different!
Seeing that the reception area near the mountain gate was in a mess, if Yu Jiao continued to make trouble, the archway at the mountain gate would probably be demolished.

Lu Qian coughed, and Yu Jiao quickly stopped his skills, transformed himself into a little boy, and landed to pay his respects.

"Oh! I see the purple air coming from the east. It turns out that the Lord has arrived!" Yu Jiao's face was full of flattery. "Little Yu Jiao, I pay my respects to the wise and mighty Lord."

"I wish you eternal happiness and longevity!"

Ever since he was given the "Chilong Secret Book", Yu Jiao was probably stunned by the sudden surprise.

On the one hand, he never expected that Lu Qian, this hateful exploiter, would be so good to him. On the other hand, he couldn't figure out where Lu Qian got this secret of the dragon clan.

Combined with the fact that Lu Qian actually knew the "Reverse Scale Blood Seal", his image becomes even more mysterious. If one day someone tells Yu Jiao that Lu Qian is the son of the Dragon King, Yu Jiao will believe it.

In short, after being given the "Chilong Wonderful Book", the little dragon was really happy. He would come to greet and say hello whenever he had nothing to do, and tried his best to flatter Lu Qian. All the grievances of being oppressed in the past were long forgotten.

But Lu Qian was not impressed. His eyebrows twitched and he resisted the urge to kick Yu Jiao. “Stop talking nonsense. How is your practice of the Chilong Magic Book going?”

Yu Jiao was so excited that he danced with joy: "My Lord, I am honored to have been granted the secret of immortality. It is like a blessing after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and having a wedding night."

He talked a lot of nonsense, but the huge wave that was hundreds of feet high behind him forgot to restrain itself, and with a loud bang, it suddenly crashed down like a landslide.

Lu Qian frowned, watching the waves coming. The Jade Dragon screamed and pushed with both hands. He threw away the waves with force, and they rushed like a raging river, sweeping in the four dragon horses grazing by the deep pool, and no one knew where they were rushing to.

Lu Qian: “.”

Jade dragon: "o((⊙﹏⊙))o"

Lu Qian: "Forget it, I don't need to raise horses anymore."

Jade Dragon: "(〃'▽'〃)! Great!"

Lu Qian: "Just ride you."

Yu Jiao: “o(╥﹏╥)o”

Leaving the sad and miserable Yu Jiao behind, Lu Qian, in a good mood, climbed up the steps along the mountain trail of Mianlong Mountain.

Now that the reform has been initially finalized and the territory is peaceful, there are many spiritual veins within the Yunshan Sect, each with its own division of labor, and the disciples are also scattered in all directions, each with their own duties.

The Yunshan School occupies one fourth-level spiritual vein, two third-level spiritual veins, four second-level spiritual veins, and four first-level spiritual veins in Hanjiangzhu, Mianlong Mountain, Wenning Mountain, Yongcui Valley, Xinbao, Fucang Mountain, and Lingsha City.

The other spiritual veins have different focuses. For example, Xinbao is a weapon refining center, Lingsha City is a spiritual medicine base and spiritual seedling cultivation center, and Fucang Mountain is being built into a spiritual plant planting center.
As for the two spiritual veins, Mianlong Mountain and Hanjiangzhu, they do not undertake many production tasks. Apart from being administrative centers, they are mainly places for the sect's elite to practice. The backbones of Yunshan all live in these two places.

Now Wu Yan is stationed in Hanjiangzhu with some of his disciples. On the one hand, they practice with the help of this fourth-level low-order spiritual vein, and on the other hand, they intimidate the people in Junle County, forcing Shaoyin Sect and the seven factions to behave themselves.

Therefore, there are not many disciples in Mianlong Mountain, and even fewer who have the leisure to walk around in the mountain. Lu Qian did not meet a single disciple on his way up.

It was not until we reached the large parade ground halfway up the mountain that we heard shouts and cheers. There were disciples competing with each other here.

Lu Qian looked towards the field, and with a whistling sound, he saw the extremely sharp golden energy condensed into a giant halberd, piercing straight towards his face! (End of this chapter)
