From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 153 Spiritual Vein
Lan Chuanyin's heart was filled with despair, humiliation, and resentment...

As a direct descendant of Lan Yunkai, after demonstrating his mixed spiritual roots of four elements and talent for talisman making, he immediately became a key member of the clan to cultivate and became the "apple of everyone's eye" in the Lan family, enjoying a status of being surrounded by admirers.

After he reached the peak of Qi Refining, he became Lan Yunkai's designated successor as the next clan leader. If the clan obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, it would certainly give it to him.

In the Lan family, he was second only to the emperor and above all others.

However, now, Yan Yijin and Ning Feiyu discussed how to distribute Lan Chuanyin's treasures in just a few words, as if it were insignificant livestock or a piece of merchandise.

He had lived for decades and had never suffered such an insult!
Resources? Storage pouch? Array key?
To hell with them all!
Knowing he was doomed, Lan Chuanyin suddenly threw his eight storage pouches in all directions, while simultaneously activating a "Virtual Sword Talisman" that transformed into a sword shadow that struck one of the storage pouches.

The storage pouch shattered, and the items inside flew outwards.

Ning Feiyu and Hanshan reacted quickly and grabbed the storage pouches first.

Yan Yijin looked at the several second-tier spiritual plants flying towards him and hesitated: Should he take them while he could?

The Ning family has so many resources, and he only needs a few second-tier spiritual plants.

But they had clearly agreed that he only wanted the array key.

Just as he hesitated, he saw the key to the Spirit Gathering Array appear in Lan Chuanyin's hand.

"What are you doing? Stop!"

Yan Yijin realized that Lan Chuanyin was going to fight to the death and try to damage the treasure to prevent them from succeeding.

As he spoke, he pointed his right index and middle fingers together like a sword, unleashing a dense white sword aura. Because of his anxiety and his desire to kill Lan Chuanyin immediately, this sword aura consumed a significant amount of his spiritual energy.

At such close range, Lan Chuanyin had no way of dodging.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In Lan Chuanyin's hand, the array key, shaped like a round jewel, lit up.

His original intention was to control the second-order spirit-gathering array to dissipate the spiritual energy, but with his strength, he could not easily destroy the array key.

But then Yan Yijin unleashed a white sword aura that instantly flew towards his lower abdomen, near his dantian.

In a flash of inspiration, he used the array key to block the white sword energy.

"Oops!"

Yan Yijin's expression suddenly changed. His "Two Elements Sword Finger Technique" can release extremely fast sword energy, but it has a flaw: it cannot change direction!
He could only watch helplessly as his sword energy struck the array key with a "ding".

The sharp white sword energy was enough to penetrate a mid-grade spiritual weapon, but it was blocked by the array key and dissipated as spiritual energy.

With a soft "crack," a crack appeared on the key to the jade.

The cracks are still spreading at a visible rate.

"Haha, the Spirit Gathering Array is shattered!"

Lan Chuanyin's powerful spiritual energy blast shattered the array key jade into pieces.

"No!"

Yan Yijin unleashed another sword strike, decapitating Lan Chuanyin, whose head flew into the air.

"Damn it!"

He gritted his teeth, staring at the shattered key to the Spirit Gathering Array, and let out a low growl.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that Yan Yijin didn't even have time to react before the array key he had been longing for shattered.

What are the consequences if the array key breaks?
Yan Yijin was unsure, but he guessed that the Spirit Gathering Array would fail.

Beside them, Ning Feiyu and Hanshan collected the various treasures and resources that had scattered from the broken storage pouch, reaping a bountiful harvest.

Seeing Yan Yijin's extremely unpleasant expression, and considering that they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yuanli County, Ning Feiyu decided to maintain a semblance of friendship and took out three storage pouches to hand to him:
“General Yan, we just agreed that the array key would be yours and the storage pouches would be ours. He went all out and destroyed the array key, so I can’t let you go empty-handed. These three storage pouches are yours.”

Ning Feiyu had examined the distributed storage pouches with his divine sense and found that they did not contain any particularly valuable treasures.

"Then I thank Patriarch Ning for his kindness."

Yan Yijin accepted the storage pouch; it was his only consolation.

Just then, the earth trembled.

Boom~~
A rumbling sound came from deep underground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"The earth dragon turned over?" Yan Yijin wondered, and suddenly looked in the direction of Qingqiu Mountain: he had a strange intuition that this sudden earthquake was related to the breaking of the key to the spirit-gathering array of Qingqiu Mountain.

He leaped into the air and flew towards Qingqiu Mountain.

Ning Feiyu also realized something was wrong, and exchanged a glance with Hanshan: "Let's go take a look."

The man and the beast gave chase.

They arrived at Qingqiu Mountain a few moments later.

The spiritual energy of the original second-tier spiritual veins of Qingqiu Mountain was concentrated in Qingqiu Peak and Fangshi Mountain by the Spirit Gathering Array. At this moment, the Spirit Gathering Array is ineffective and the spiritual energy is dissipating.

The tremors were even more intense in the area of ​​Qingqiu Mountain, which spans dozens of miles.

The rolling stones tumbled down from the towering Qingqiu Peak.

"Crack!"

The ground of Qingqiu Mountain cracked open, revealing several ravines. Dense spiritual energy condensed into a tangible substance, gushing out in bursts of thick fog.

The rumbling sound continued to come from underground.

However, the spiritual energy on Qingqiu Mountain is becoming increasingly scarce.

"This is?"

Yan Yijin couldn't understand how the shattering of the array key of the second-order spirit gathering array could cause such a serious change.
Ning Feiyu hovered beside him, then suddenly widened his eyes: "Could it be... a shift in the spiritual veins?!"

Seeing Yan Yijin's puzzled expression, Ning Feiyu explained: "The location of spiritual veins is not unchanging, but constantly changing. However, the cycle of change is very long, with a cycle of ten thousand years or a hundred thousand years."

Some spiritual veins change slowly, with the spiritual energy gradually decreasing or increasing.

Some changes in spiritual veins are like an earth dragon turning over, altering everything in an instant. These changes often don't occur in a single spiritual vein, but rather across a large area.

At this point, Ning Feiyu realized something was wrong. Their Ning family's Kunxu Mountain was only four or five hundred miles away from Qingqiu Mountain. An earthquake of this magnitude would affect the spiritual veins of Kunxu Mountain.

"General Yan, I need to go back to my family to check on the situation. We'll meet again sometime."

Ning Feiyu cupped his hands in greeting, and he and Hanshan turned and flew away.

"..."

Yan Yijin's expression changed rapidly as he watched the spiritual energy on Qingqiu Mountain gradually thin out.

The second-tier spiritual land, Qingqiu Mountain, that he wanted to occupy, has been ruined just like that?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The second-tier spirit-gathering array on Qingqiu Mountain has existed for countless years.

Its formation has already merged with the spiritual veins deep underground in Qingqiu Mountain.

In addition, the terrain of the spiritual veins in Yuanli County has remained unchanged for many years, accumulating energy over tens of thousands of years.

The collapse of the second-order grand formation was the trigger for this change in the spiritual veins.

Centered on Qingqiu Mountain, spiritual lands within a radius of thousands of miles were affected to varying degrees.

The deafening rumble of the earthquake reverberated for miles around, alarming many people.

Baihe Mountain is located in Tonggu County, which is three to four hundred miles away from Qingqiu Mountain.

Xu Fugui, Xu Xiaoniu, Xu Xiaohou and other powerful figures were on high alert, guarding against the roaming cultivators and demonic cultivators.

"Boom~~"

The tremors beneath their feet surprised the Xu family.

It was the middle of the night, and Xu Fugui thought it was an earthquake: "Quickly get everyone out of their rooms, be careful of an earthquake!"

"earthquake!"

"come out faster!"

The crowd scattered to call for help.

In the central core area of ​​Baihe Mountain, wisps of spiritual energy slowly rise from the ground.
