The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl - Chapter 483
Chapter 483: Chapter 479: Top-Quality Spirit Vein_1
“You must merge all the fragments of the Divine Pupil, and then retrieve the Heart-guarding Scale of your mother from the Wuji Sect,” Xuanwu said after some pondering.
Originally, that Heart-guarding Scale was worn on Yingbao’s body, but later it was taken away by Xiao Mo and kept in the Wuji Sect’s storage.
Yingbao kept silent.
She knew that she must retrieve the fragments of the Divine Pupil, but her strength was insufficient. Even at her peak, it only equated to the Mahayana realm.
With her current level of cultivation, she could be praised for even being capable of killing Fairy Bilian. However, if you were to add Xiao Chengjun to the mix, her chances of winning were slim.
The only solution was to gather a few more Spirit Veins and thus maybe, significantly increase her cultivation base.
After pondering for a bit while observing the Dragon Spirit lurking in the Holy Spirit Pool, Yingbao said to Xuanwu, “Take a look around and see where else there are Spirit Veins – let’s go retrieve them.”
Xuanwu made a bitter face, bit his claw to shed some blood on the Heavenly Book and said, “At a distant Wanxiang City, a million miles away from here, there are two Spirit Veins that belong to two cultivators’ families.”
“Then we will go there.” Previously, Yingbao might have hesitated to undertake such tasks but ever since she found out that these Spirit Veins were actually imprisoned Dragon Spirits, she wished to break the cultivators into a thousand pieces.
Xuanwu nodded.
Two days later, Yingbao arrived at Wanxiang City.
After feeding a mid-level Spirit Plant to the Wheel Mirror, it broke through the void and took Yingbao deep underground.
As expected, a Dragon Spirit was still imprisoned here. It was very weak – it seemed as though it would just disappear in the next second.
Yingbao reached out to it: “Come here.”
The Dragon Spirit stared at her for a moment before slowly approaching.
Yingbao gently patted its transparent body and put it in the Divine Mansion.
As the Dragon Spirit was taken away, the entire underground cave darkened.
Yingbao quickly instructed the Wheel Mirror to open another door, directly to another Spirit Vein location.
The Dragon Spirit here was fire red, emitting searing heat. It was also quite fiery-tempered and it immediately spat a mouthful of Spiritual Fire at Yingbao.
But she found this Spiritual Fire to be vaguely familiar.
When she was still in the egg, she had bathed in this same kind of spiritual fire.
“Hong Yue.” Yingbao softly called.
It should be a dragon subordinate of her mother, assigned to incubate her. It was Auntie Hong Yue.
The violent Dragon Spirit paused for a second, staring at Yingbao for a while, before slowly approaching.
When it sensed a familiar fragrance, Hong Yue sorrowfully nuzzled against Yingbao.
Yingbao reached out to it, “Come with me.”
Hong Yue nodded, flew a circle around the bottom of the cave, sucked up all the Fire Spirit Stones in the cave, and shot straight towards Yingbao.
These Fire Spirit Stones were all condensed from its Spirit and it couldn’t leave a single one behind.
With two Dragon Spirits entering the Divine Mansion, Yingbao’s cultivation level gradually skyrocketed, directly ascending to the Out-of-body Stage. She was just a tiny bit away from reaching the Division of the Soul Stage.
Seeing this, Xuanwu became extremely excited. Despite sacrificing a thousand-year cultivation base, he continued to calculate and pointed out several Spirit Vein locations for Yingbao.
More than ten days later, Yingbao successively collected five or six Spirit Veins and raised her cultivation to the Nascent Stage.
One day, Yingbao, now clad in a black robe, stepped inside the Qinglong City governed by the Wuji Sect.
As soon as she entered the city, she felt that the atmosphere was off, as there were no vendors along the roads.
She concealed her presence, masquerading as a female cultivator at the Core Formation stage, and checked into an inn.
Yingbao placed her name, from the family of Chen from the Vermilion Bird City, into the inn logbook.
The innkeeper smiled: “I heard that the Spirit Vein of your Chen Family was stolen, is this true?”
With a surprised look, Yingbao exclaimed, “What? Our Chen Family’s Spirit Vein was stolen? How do you know about this, innkeeper?”
“Oh, you don’t know? Nowadays, the story has spread all over the city. A demonic cultivator is disguising himself as a cultivator and stealing Spirit Veins left and right. Many established family’s Spirit Veins have gone missing, and now they have come to Qinglong City to collectively request the Supreme Immortal to make a move,” he explained.
Yingbao’s face was full of sorrow, “So you say it’s true? I didn’t expect such a thing to happen in my family while I was away. What are we going to do?”
The shopkeeper consoled, “Don’t be upset, Fairy. Even if your family no longer has the spiritual vein, it doesn’t matter for you female cultivators. You can just marry into a family that has one.”
Yingbao: …..
Stepping into her room and taking a seat on the Arhat Couch, she heard Xuanwu rambling, “There are three spiritual veins within Qinglong City, all of them are top-quality. When will we go to take control of them?”
Yingbao lay back on the couch and answered indifferently, “The city is heavily guarded, and there will definitely be many high-level cultivators guarding the spiritual veins. We cannot go.”
Xuanwu’s gaze dimmed, it retracted its neck in dismay, sighing.
Yingbao said, “However, we can go to the Wuji Sect to obtain their superior spiritual vein.”
The Wuji Sect covers a vast area and has many spiritual veins, most of which are high-quality. It is said that under Penglai Peak, where the Supreme Immortal resides, an ultimate spiritual vein is hidden.
“Really?” Xuanwu’s tiny eyes lit up again, “Then let’s hurry up.”
Yingbao shook her head, “We can’t now, someone will definitely come in for inspection later, we can’t leave.”
Sure enough, there was a knock at the door.
Yingbao walked over to open the door, seeing four or five patrols standing at the door with a book in their hands.
The one in the middle looked at Yingbao and asked with the book in his hand, “Where are you from? Why did you come to Qinglong City?”
Yingbao: “I am from the fifth house of the Chen Family in Vermillion Bird City. I came to Qinglong City with the intention to join the Wuji Sect.”
The man looked her up and down, and scoffed, “With your capabilities?”
He marked something in his book after saying that, and went to knock on another door.
Yingbao slammed the door with a bang, seemingly venting her anger.
The patrols laughed a few times without taking it to heart.
After they had inspected and left, Yingbao let out a sigh of relief. She was just about to activate the Rebirth Mirror to open a passage when there was another knock on the door.
Yingbao furrowed her brows and went to open the door again.
A few young cultivators from the Chen family were standing at the door, the one in the lead being the legitimate daughter of the fifth elder, Chen Shuang.
Chen Shuang glared at Yingbao with a displeased expression, “Chen Shuyuan, why did you also follow here?”
Yingbao glanced at this woman, seeing that she was only in the early stage of Core Formation, she said coldly, “Why can’t I come?”
Seeing that she dare to retort, Chen Shuang raised her hand to strike Yingbao.
Yingbao gently raised her finger, flicked lightly, and Chen Shuang flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Everyone gasped in shock and quickly ran out to follow her.
Chen Shuang broke through the stairs’ railing of the inn and fell directly into the lobby on the first floor.
Luckily, she had a protective magic weapon, otherwise, she would have made a complete fool of herself.
Chen Shuang got up from the ground with a roar, ready to fly back to the second floor to fight Yingbao, but she was held back by a few others who rushed over.
One said: “I saw that Chen Shuyuan seems to have gained a great opportunity, and actually jumped from the Foundation Establishment stage to the late Jiedan Stage in no time. We should quickly go back and report to Fairy Bilian, and let her punish this insubordinate person.”
“Exactly, last time in the Demonic Beast Forest, she fell off a cliff and didn’t die. Instead, she returned to the family earlier than us. There must be something fishy about this. Maybe it was Chen Shuyuan who colluded with the demons to steal the family’s spiritual vein.”
Chen Shuang seemed to be deep in thought, “Well, two of you stay here and keep an eye on her, the rest come with me to find Fairy Bilian.”
After calming down from her anger, Chen Shuang also came to her senses.
Her cultivation base is inferior to Chen Shuyuan’s. If she provokes a fight, she would definitely end up worse.
Maybe Chen Shuyuan would take this opportunity to take revenge. After all, in the Demonic Beast Forest, Chen Shuang and her group had stolen her mid-level spiritual medicine and pushed her off the cliff.
Yingbao, watching from the upstairs, saw that Chen Shuang and a few others left and directly headed in one direction.
She thought for a moment, put on her invisible magic weapon, flew down from the stairs, and followed them.
