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

Chapter 729 I Want to Speak Up for Them

While Long Ling was exploring the underground, Wan Qiyu also released his precious spirit insect, which looked like a silkworm.

Spirit insects are exceptionally sensitive to changes in their environment, even the slightest ones.

It can detect even if the corresponding instruments remain completely unchanged.

Wan Qiyu watched as his spirit insect not only changed color but also kept giving him warnings.

Since he started raising this spirit insect when he was eight years old, there have only been three warnings: once when his adoptive father was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and once when he was betrayed by his trusted uncles, during which a third of his trusted confidants were killed or injured.

This is the third time.

Wan Qiyu's expression immediately changed: "Something's not right!"

At this moment, Long Ling also retrieved the dragon essence that had been previously thrown into the ground.

"The dragon vein beneath Mount Wuhuang has long been targeted and its vital points have been sealed off..."

As she spoke, Long Ling looked at Yun Ran: "Do you remember the fire-attribute azure dragon that was torn apart by your Panlong Formation before? It should be one of these five dragon veins."

Yunran's heart skipped a beat, and a chill crept up her back.

Except for Wan Qiyu, who didn't know what Long Ling was talking about, everyone else who came along felt apprehensive upon hearing this.

Xuan Chu stared intently at Long Ling: "Are you sure?!"

If this were a normal situation, Long Ling would have already lost his temper. This wasn't a question; it was a slap in the face.

But right now, Long Ling has no interest in arguing with Xuan Chu.

You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my abilities!

Although I got the answer I wanted, it just sounded so awkward.

Wan Qiyu had no idea what they were talking about, which made him feel like he was being scratched by a cat.

But he also knew that it was best not to interrupt at this time.

After thinking for a moment, Wan Qiyu gently tugged at the collar of the ginseng fruit.

If it's inconvenient to disturb someone who's having a serious conversation, then he can at least ask the child.

"Xiao Guo, do you know what happened?"

Ginseng fruit: ...

He shouldn't be called Xiao Guo, okay? I don't know what's wrong with these people, they're all so familiar with him and always call him Xiao Guo.

"This all happened during the Xuanmen Grand Competition... In the end, my master used the Panlong Battle to tear apart the Azure Dragon that Rong Gu had sealed on her arm, and most of it was devoured by the Dragon Spirit."

When Wan Qiyu learned the whole story, his eyes shone brightly when he looked at Yun Ran, and there was even a hint of admiration on his face.

So, my stepsister is incredibly talented! Her age and her abilities are terrifying!

While Xuan Chu and Long Ling were talking, Yun Ran remained silent. After exchanging a glance, the two of them shut their mouths.

After a long while, Yunran finally spoke: "Perhaps the inheritance that Rong Gu received is even more profound than we previously imagined."

Xuan Chu immediately understood Yun Ran's meaning: "You mean, the person who stole the forbidden book from Tiandao Village back then was very likely the one who pinned down these five dragon veins?"

“Otherwise, although Rong Gu’s talent is no less than mine and she has inherited a lot of knowledge, the gap in her knowledge is not so easy to fill.”

If Qingfeng Temple left her only with its traditions, without the patient guidance of its grandmasters, uncles, and senior disciples, the disciples of Qingfeng Temple would certainly have taken many detours.

It's not impossible to seal and subdue a dragon spirit, even at the cost of half one's life.

However, there are five dragon veins here at the same time. For one person to pin them down and extract the spirit of one of the dragons to seal within themselves is something that Rong Gu absolutely cannot do alone.

Yunran remembered the first time she fought Rong Gu.

Although Rong Gu was formidable, Yun Ran could sense that she had taken many detours and hadn't even developed her own style.

This shows that over the years, Rong Gu has relied entirely on her own exploration, stumbling and struggling her way to where she is today.

It was she who brought Rong Gu into the public eye, which led to her being rescued and her strength increasing rapidly.

Xuan Chu was silent for a while before saying, "Are you saying that Aunt Rong has now found their headquarters?"

Yunran nodded; this was the most reasonable explanation.

"Then what is the purpose of their main base? If they had already discovered the secret of the Five Emperors Mountain, or even nailed down these five dragon veins."

Why haven't they taken the Heavenly Book away yet, and instead allowed this place to become a tourist attraction?

Before Yunran could even speak, Longling had already learned to answer first.

"That's simple. They didn't take the Heavenly Book with them because they had no way to take it."

Also, I want to correct something: although I am not of the same kind as the dragon veins here, I still want to speak out for them.

Dragon veins absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their vitality is extremely tenacious; they are not so easily subdued.

Even if they are nailed down tightly, it only means that they have lost their freedom, not that they have become cowards.

As long as the dragon vein continues, their protection of the Heavenly Book will never cease.

As for why those people, knowing the situation here, allowed it to become a tourist destination, I have no idea.

The others were also at a loss as to how to solve this problem, since they weren't those people and had no idea how they thought about it.

The progress was about to stall again.

Ginseng Fruit silently raised its hand: "Well, I think I know the answer to this question."

All eyes turned to them.

Long Ling was the first to ask, "How did you know!"

It wasn't that he underestimated the ginseng fruit; he simply felt that even he, who had inherited the memories, didn't know about it, so how could a little kid possibly know?

Xuan Chu and Wan Qiyu were also curious, but they weren't as direct as Long Ling.

After all, in human thinking, people don't believe that if they don't know something, others can't know it either.

Yunran frowned.

Now, not only did the ginseng fruit feel something was wrong, but Yunran also sensed it.

After arriving at Wuhuang Mountain, the ginseng fruit has undergone some noticeable changes.

Avoiding everyone's various gazes, Ginseng Fruit organized his thoughts before speaking: "The dragon veins protect the Heavenly Book, and similarly, the Heavenly Book will also feed back a portion of its energy to these dragon veins."

Now that the dragon vein is anchored, in order to maintain the balance, the feedback from the Heavenly Book to the dragon vein will also increase.

Wuhuang Mountain has become a tourist destination, with countless people coming and going, which is a drain on the dragon vein.

In other words, the greater the depletion of the dragon vein, the greater the depletion of the Heavenly Book.

Once the balance between the Heavenly Book and the Dragon Vein is broken, the Heavenly Book will likely lose its ability to protect itself.
