The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 105 The Gift of the Dragon Vein (2 Updates)
There were no fish in the pond, so it seemed a bit wasteful to use the little paper figures to clear the way.

She finally swam to the very bottom of the pool, but the bottom of the pool was shaped like a funnel, and if she went any further, she couldn't see the bottom of the center at all.

Yunran gestured to the little paper figures, instructing two of them to continue swimming towards the bottom center. She wanted to see what was down there.

"Whoo~"

Another dragon's breath was heard, but this time it was much clearer than before.

Whether it was Yunran's imagination or not, the sound of the dragon's breath seemed to carry a sense of joy to her ears.

Yunran wasn't sure how deep she was underwater, but it was too dark to see anything clearly, so she could only rely on her senses.

A sudden ripple of water flowed by; one might not have felt it at all unless they were in the water themselves.

Yun Ran was now certain that this dragon vein was actually in a state of suspended animation!

Feeling her wounds healing rapidly, Yun Ran wasn't happy. The gift of the dragon vein wasn't so easy to obtain.

Before long, the little paper figures swam up. They were connected to Yunran and naturally told her everything they had "seen".

"Are you saying there are three ancient swords stuck at the bottom of the pool?"

The little paper figure nodded hurriedly. There was not only a knife, but that knife was extremely evil, and even they dared not approach it. Moreover, the knife seemed to be able to absorb life force.

Fortunately, they were just little paper figures, otherwise they would probably be trapped at the bottom of the pool and unable to come up. There were quite a few skeletons around those three knives, some human and some wild animals.

It seems there's some kind of sacrificial formation at the bottom of the pool; any creature that falls into it will not survive.

Yun Ran was able to survive because she possessed considerable strength and was not from this world, allowing her to exploit certain loopholes.

In addition, since she was also destined to be abandoned by heaven, even if she were to be sacrificed alive, she would most likely be rejected.

The dragon's breath and fluctuations she sensed were likely the dying struggle of this dragon vein, or rather, its cry for help before its demise.

The person who could subdue the dragon vein and exhaust its life force was definitely no less capable than her master. Yunran hesitated whether to help.

Although the dragon vein seemed to be very friendly to her both times she entered the Dragon Heart Pool, and was even willing to release its last bit of dragon energy to heal her, Yunran was still afraid of attracting some big trouble.

Although people in the Xuanmen sect often have more 'freedom' than ordinary people, they also bear a much heavier burden of rules and regulations.

They will be subject to many more constraints; otherwise, the world would descend into chaos.

After thinking it over, Yunran decided to tell Xie Xuzhi about what happened below Dragon Heart Pool. She decided to leave the professional matters to the professionals and just focus on making a good knife.

Half an hour later, when Yunran swam up, a number of people were already standing by the Dragon Heart Pool, staring intently at the surface of the water.

They hadn't seen Yunran swim up to get some air at all, and after so long, they were immediately filled with regret.

I think Yunran will probably end up like the others before her, with no trace of her remains.

"Pfft~"

Yunran emerged from the water, startling those who had thought she was dead.

Little did they know that their line of guards had startled Yunran.

Who are you people?

Everyone:...

Goodness, they were worried the little girl had died, but instead she came to ask who they were. It's hard to describe this feeling. However, the leader still answered Yun Ran's question: "We are security guards from the ecological zone. We saw you fall into the water on the surveillance camera, so we came to check on you."

Yunran didn't doubt these words; she would have been surprised if there were no surveillance cameras here.

Just then, a bird flew over the pool, and then, as if it had suddenly gone mad, it folded its wings and plunged headfirst into the pool.

Without even a splash, it sank directly underwater, which immediately silenced those who wanted to ask Yun Ran what the underwater situation was like.

They watched as Yunran swam smoothly to the surface, and thought the eerie atmosphere of the pool had changed, but it seems it's still the same.

Perhaps because they've gotten used to it, Yun Ran is the one who seems more unusual to them.

As soon as Yunran climbed ashore, someone handed her a towel and a dry bath towel.

"The temperature in the eco-zone is a bit lower than outside, so you'd better wrap yourself up."

Yunran didn't make a fuss. The water temperature didn't affect her much, but she felt uncomfortable being all wet.

After glancing at the Royal Ding Club not far away, Yun Ran decided not to be as reckless as before and climb up from there.

In the end, he obediently followed these "security guards" and went down the right path.

Yun Ran was going to the Royal Ding Club, and the security guards were not surprised. After escorting her to the entrance, they quickly and neatly left.

This time, it wasn't Gu Yuan who came to pick up Yun Ran, but a very simple-looking old man.

He had a very faint aura, the kind of person who was so unappealing that he would be subconsciously ignored in a crowd, with an extremely low presence.

Such a person is either a very ordinary person, or someone who can easily conceal their aura.

Yunran felt that the old man in front of her should belong to the latter category. After all, this was the Royal Cauldron Club, and anyone who could appear here could not be an ordinary person.

Just like her, although it sounds a bit boastful, Yunran felt that this was the truth.

Xie Xuzhi already knew about Yun Ran's "good deed," and was able to appear lively and energetic after swimming in Longxin Pool for half an hour.

Yunran has probably become a celebrity in the entire ecological zone by now.

Xie Xuzhi, who was reviewing the materials sent from various places, merely glanced at Yun Ran and asked, "You're in such a hurry to see me without even changing your clothes, is there some important discovery?"

Having gotten to know Xie Xuzhi a little better, Yun Ran realized that he was actually a very generous person, so she became less reserved.

He sat down in front of Xie Xuzhi, picked up the teacup next to him, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This is the taste of money." He felt instantly relaxed and at ease.

"As expected of the deputy director of the Special Administration Bureau, his keen sense is truly exceptional. Guess what I found at the bottom of Dragon Heart Pool?"

Xie Xuzhi was a little curious, but not really.

After all, he had read through almost all the files of the Special Administration Bureau, and there were too many surprising things. Now he was unfazed by anything.

"Tell me!"

Yunran: ...

This kind of person is too boring and would never be a good gossip buddy.

"I saw a human sacrifice formation down there!"
