Chapter 353 Spirit Vein
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Having successfully abducted a whole meadow full of rabbits, Bai Rouyun's mood was bright as she continued forward through the untouched lands.The area where they had left the road was not too far away from the more commonly visited cities, but it was not close either. The landscape was simple and untouched by humans, as those cultivators that usually traversed between the cities would avoid this seemingly plain direction.
Although many cultivators were aiming for fortunate encounters and lucky experiences, they all assumed that these things were only to be found in territories filled with dangers and threats. To them, this peaceful and tranquil landscape was nothing more than a waste of time.
"Oh, mother, look." Xiao Jin was suddenly crouching in front of a rock that was partly visible above the ground. The rock that was visible was a bit bigger than a fist, but the surface was covered with moss and dirt. Looking at it, Bai Rouyun did not understand why her beloved daughter was interested.
Even so, she did not want to dampen the enthusiasm of her kid, so she quickly hurried to her side and crouched down to look at the ugly stone.
"Do you like it?" Bai Rouyun tried to come up with some words to praise her choice of stone, but after looking at the moss- and dirt covered stone for some time, she simply could not find any suitable adjectives. In the end, she just asked about her child's feelings. That would never go wrong.
"I like it." Xiao Jin's face was very solemn as she nodded her head without trying to hide her adoration for the dirty stone.
"Although I am still not fully matured, I am still able to feel the strong pulsation of spiritual energy within this stone. I think that there might be a spiritual vein underneath the ground here."
Xiao Jin's body was that of a young and innocent child. Her current mentality was also somewhat childish, but this did not mean that one should underestimate her.
No matter what she looked like in her spirit form, her true shape was that of the Golden Dragon Cauldron, and she had a natural affection for precious stones and ores. Her words had to be taken seriously.
"Can we bring it into the Primal Chaos Pagoda?" Bai Rouyun was quite happy to hear that there might be a spiritual vein here. Although the second floor of the pagoda contained many precious items, she still liked the idea of having her own spiritual mine that she could constantly take spirit stones from. The never ending supply of money was too enticing to let go.
"I think it should be possible. I just need to know how big it is first." Xiao Jin quickly sat down in a lotus positon and a golden cauldron mark appeared between her eyebrows. The mark was, at first, indestinct and transparent, but as time went by, it became more and more discernible until it resembled a tattoo that shone brightly with golden light.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar reverberated from deep below them, and a tremble ran though the ground. A golden shadow emerged from the unassuming rock in front of them, before it flashed and disappeared within the golden cauldron mark on Xiao Jin's forehead.
"The vein is quite large, and there is a whole network of tunnels underneath the ground. Xiao Bao and I will work together to take the vein into the Primal Chaos Pagoda, but the moment it disappears, the ground will open and we will fall into the tunnel system below."
Xiao Jin was not worried about her family being injured in the fall into the tunnel system. Her father had arrived, and with his curent power, it was not a problem to protect them all on their way into the ground, however, she still needed to warn them, so that no one got too surprised as it happened.
"What are the tunnels like?" Bai Rouyun had complete faith in her children to take care of the vein, so her focus quickly moved to the tunnel system instead.
They had entered this path with the purpose of experiencing whatever they might come across, and a hidden tunnel system below ground sounded very interesting. Especially for a woman who used to visit tombs for a living.
"I don't know." Xiao Jin could not help but regretfully shake her head. She was, after all, only a cauldron spirit, and her strength lied in the vein itself. She could not sense what happened in the tunnels, but she, too, felt that they were quite interesting. As an Artifact Spirit, she had always been kept away from the exciting things and only taken out when her previous owners needed to refine pills. For her, going on an adventure was much more fun, and she genuinely loved her current life.
Xiao Bao was the only other spirit present, and looking at Xiao Jin's sparkling eyes, he could not help but smile slightly. He, too, understood the emotions of the little spirit in front of him.
Spirits had long lifespans, and even when their masters died, they still remained behind. Countless years could go by before they found new masters, and even then, they might not be able to leave their artifacts.
Artifact Spirits were not considered equal to humans and beasts. Even ordinary spirits were often considered more individual than they were, and it could be very painful to find the wrong master.
To Xiao Bao, the current life was what he had always dreamt of. His original master had returned, and he was able to live on equal terms with everyone else. Although he had somehow become an adopted son, he would never admit that it made him proud.
