I planted the spiritual roots for my people, and they bestowed upon me a body inscribed with incense

After everyone left, Li Yuan dismissed the villagers from the small fishing village.

After returning to Zhushan, Li Yuan began to consider planting a spirit in Li Shouchuan. Since announcing that Li Shouchuan could cultivate, Li Yuan had isolated Li Shouchuan. Before Li Yuan planted the spirit, Li Shouchuan could not have any contact with anyone except Li Daqiang and Zhang Shi, who knew Li Yuan's secret.

Currently, there are still three strands of spiritual energy within the three-colored pearl in Li Yuan's body. After selecting one, Li Yuan decided to implant the strand with the most spiritual energy into Li Shouchuan's body.

After careful consideration, Li Yuan, along with Li Daqiang and Li Shouchuan, slowly left Zhushan and headed towards Dahengshan.

At night, the entire Daheng Mountain was silent and dark. Li Yuan stopped only after reaching the depths of Daheng Mountain. Upon seeing this, Li Daqiang silently went to the outer perimeter to protect him.

As Li Yuan carefully infused the spiritual energy into Li Shouchuan's body, the silent night began to be driven back by the lightning that gathered in the sky.

As that spiritual energy completely merged with Li Shouchuan, lightning bolts rained down from the sky. Li Yuan, seeing the roaring thunder dragon in the sky, quickly activated the incense power within the three-colored pearl to resist it.

As the lightning struck, the incense energy within the three-colored bead was continuously depleted.

After a while, as the lightning subsided, Li Yuan slowly put away the three-colored bead and came to Li Shouchuan's side.

"Shouchuan, this is a family secret. Now, before me, swear an oath to heaven and earth that if you reveal this secret, you will surely die and your soul will be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Li Shouchuan realized that this matter was of great importance and solemnly made a vow.

It was late at night when the three returned to the Li family. After returning to Zhushan, Li Yuan began to think about how to prevent Prince Qinghe from causing trouble. After all, he was a prince of Daqing. If Li Yuan or the Li family did not have some ability, it would probably be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, Prince Qinghe did not achieve Foundation Establishment in that Soul Blood Secret Realm; otherwise, there would have been no room for negotiation. Li Yuan was thinking of going to the Luo family to ask Luo Tong when this happened.

The Li family and the entire Zhushan Mountain suddenly began to tremble extensively. This tremor was remarkably similar to the earthquake in the previous life. After a while, the tremor changed to the entire Zhushan Mountain starting to rise, and at the same time, the spiritual energy on the entire Zhushan Mountain began to increase wildly.

Seeing this, it took Li Yuan a moment to recover.

"A dragon rising from the earth, a phenomenon that changes the world! This... this bamboo mountain is actually giving birth to a spiritual vein?" Upon seeing this, Li Yuan rushed straight to the sky above the bamboo mountain. After a brief observation, Li Yuan's face lit up with joy. He then used his magic power to shout towards the bamboo mountain and the people below.

"All cultivators from the Li family, go to Bamboo Mountain immediately."

The voice, imbued with magical power, quickly reached Liu Yue'er and Li Shouqian in the courtyard. Immediately, the two abandoned their business and went up to the bamboo mountain. They had all sensed the abnormality earlier, but they didn't know the reason.

After arriving at Zhushan, Li Yuan arranged for the Li family members to go into seclusion and absorb the pure spiritual energy of the mountain.

The birth of a spiritual vein is rare; it requires the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable.

Ever since the Yongjiang River next to the small fishing village was severed by a powerful sword, causing the water veins to flow away, the spiritual energy of the three prefectures has been greatly diminished. Now, Li Yuan is relying on the "Thousand Rivers Gathering Vein Technique" to absorb the surrounding earth vein energy and reshape a spiritual vein. Even the most basic spiritual vein is a blessing.

No one in the Li family questioned Li Yuan's words. Soon, the spiritual tide accompanying the birth of the spiritual vein began to sweep down from the bamboo mountain.

The spiritual plants planted in the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain also began to grow taller under the impact of the spiritual tide. This situation continued until noon the next day. At this time, the height of Zhushan Mountain had increased by more than 50 meters, and the spiritual rice planted in the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain had also shortened its ripening time by at least three months under the impact of the spiritual tide.

At this moment, the Li family members who had just woken up from their seclusion all had rosy complexions. Li Daqiang even broke through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in one fell swoop. Although the others did not break through, they also took a big step forward on their original foundation.

Just after the spiritual tide ended, in the wooden house where the white snake was sleeping, a pair of cold snake eyes slowly opened. Then, the white snake's body continued to grow larger and larger until it broke through the wooden house that Li Yuan had built for it. Even so, the white snake's body continued to grow larger.

After a while, a roar resounded through the sky. At the same time, the Li family members began to retreat under the white snake's aura. After the roar, the white snake soared into the air, its body flying above the bamboo mountain like a dragon.

Seeing this, Li Yuan's initially worried expression immediately turned into one of immense joy. The White Snake's aura was clearly far beyond what it had been before.

After darting around on the bamboo mountain for a long time, the white snake's body slowly shrank, and then it disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant. The next second, when the white snake reappeared, it was already on Li Yuan's neck.

Feeling the abnormality on his neck, Li Yuan realized it was the white snake. Its lightning-fast speed left Li Yuan speechless. If the white snake wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't last a second.

However, Li Yuan could sense that although the white snake had broken through, its temperament had not changed at all. So Li Yuan reached out and gently stroked the white snake's head before he could finally relax.

However, now is not the time to be happy. The terrain has changed, and all the formations placed on Bamboo Mountain have been moved and will be rearranged, including the "Thousand Rivers Gathering Pulse Technique".

Most of the Li family members knew that there was a white snake in the family, but no one really knew much about it. The scene just now made the white snake truly appear before the eyes of the Li family members.

After the breakthrough, Li Daqiang was the first to react and began to arrange the reconstruction of Zhushan.

Two days later, the array on Bamboo Mountain was completely rearranged. Li Yuan also ran around the area to make sure that there were no problems with the array flags of the "Thousand Rivers Gathering Pulse Technique" before he could relax.

Looking at the spiritual energy overflowing from the bamboo mountain, Li Yuan felt a headache coming on. Even though the white snake had already transformed into a second-tier demon beast, with the current strength of the Li family, if the matter of the spiritual vein were known, there would still be people eyeing it. Moreover, this Soul Blood Secret Realm had increased the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Daqing.

After these people break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, if they don't have a suitable cultivation environment, there is only one way: to become stronger.

With this in mind, Li Yuan took out the remaining spirit stones from the clan's treasury, then took the refining materials for the "Iron-Backed Wild Bear" from the treasury and headed towards Qingyang.

The array that blocks spiritual energy is clearly not enough. Li Yuan's purpose in going to Qingyang Market is to see if he can buy a slightly higher-grade array so that the spiritual energy will not be wasted and the spiritual vein will not be discovered for the time being.
