Chapter 299 The Waters of the Hunjiang River
The changes in the watercourse of the Qingyuan River are becoming increasingly drastic, attracting the attention of many people. Although most are puzzled, some have guessed what is going on and have set off for the Qingyuan River, hoping to gain some opportunity.

"The advancement of the water veins is a truly rare sight."

On the banks of the Qingyuan River, looking at the surging waters before him, a fiery glint flashed in Qu Shize's eyes.

The Qu family specializes in water and qi, and they have a good understanding of changes in water veins. After noticing the anomaly, they rushed to the banks of the Qingyuan River. After careful observation, they confirmed their guess: after passing through three prefectures, the water veins of the Qingyuan River had indeed begun to advance.

"The Qingyuan River runs through three prefectures, and its waterways are vast. Once it advances to the second level, it will inevitably generate great fortune. There is a high chance that it will produce some kind of spiritual spring or spiritual water, and it may even produce spiritual treasures."

"My luck has turned around. I always said that no one can be unlucky forever. This time, my opportunity has arrived. If I can obtain a suitable spiritual water and refine it, my cultivation path will surely be smoother."

With a sudden thought, Qu Shize no longer hesitated and directly activated his magic technique, disappearing into the water. Using the secret method, he searched for the source of the water vein. The water vein was about to be upgraded, and the greatest fortune would surely be found there.

After the great battle, although he fled in panic, he did not leave the south immediately in order to make amends. He wanted to find out more about the dragon. However, the dragon was elusive and difficult to find. At the same time, he did not dare to approach it rashly, so he quietly came to Qingyuan County.

Although he had never directly confronted Jiang Chen before, he had gained some understanding of Jiang Chen through Crocodile Abyss and knew that Jiang Chen was most likely the sword cultivator who attacked Crocodile Abyss, which made him very interested in Jiang Chen.

Most importantly, he didn't believe that the dragon's intervention was just a coincidence. He believed that Jiang Chen must be connected with the dragon. In order to find the dragon and find out its background, he chose to start with Jiang Chen. However, he didn't expect that he would encounter an opportunity before finding the dragon.

While everyone was exploring the changes in the Qingyuan River, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the area below the Qingxin Spring within the water vein node.

Although it was difficult to see with the naked eye, he saw a ball of energy below the Clear Heart Spring through his divine sense. Unlike the clear and pure energy of the Clear Heart Spring, this ball of energy was turbid and full of violence.

The moment Jiang Chen's divine sense touched this ball of energy, he seemed to hear the roar of a river, its sound like thunder, awe-inspiring. Fortunately, Jiang Chen's divine sense was strong enough that it did not shake his mind.

"Such abundant spirituality; this is no ordinary spiritual creature."

Sensing the unusual nature of this turbid energy, Jiang Chen's expression underwent a subtle change.

"This is a spiritual treasure, a spiritual treasure that is not yet fully formed, named Hunjiang Water. It is often born when rivers overflow, symbolizing the violent side of rivers. Natural disasters like floods are its manifestation."

With his divine sense as still as water, Jiang Chen observed carefully and finally confirmed his guess. Through spiritual resonance, he also discovered the origin of this spiritual treasure.

"What a treasure! It is truly a treasure, but unfortunately it is of little use to me unless I really abandon the Lesser Formless Scripture and switch to the Black Water Great Art."

"This spiritual treasure belongs to the water element and emphasizes power, which is quite compatible with the Black Water Great Technique. It can be used to condense the foundation of one's Dao."

Feeling the profound mystery of the spiritual treasure, Jiang Chen was quite pleased, but after the joy came some regret, as the Hunjiang River water was not compatible with him.

"This Hunjiang River was born when the Qingyuan River vein was reshaped, and it has accumulated enough to meet the previous upheavals. Although it has not yet been fully formed, once the Qingyuan River vein is completely stabilized, it should be able to make up for its shortcomings and become a true treasure."

With a thought flashing through his mind, Jiang Chen withdrew his divine sense.

"Qingxin Spring belongs to the pure spirit, while Hunjiang River belongs to the turbid spirit. They are two sides of the same coin in the river. Now that these two treasures have been born at the same time, it represents the Qingyuan River sweeping away the gloom of the past and being reborn after tribulations."

Seeing the clear spring and the turbid waves coexist, two sides of the same coin, Jiang Chen had a sudden realization. At this moment, he gained a deeper understanding of the changes in the water's flow. At the same time, the river roared, and the water veins of the Qingyuan River were fully formed.

With a roar, the spiritual energy surged as the water veins fully formed and entered the second stage. The spiritual energy of the Qingyuan River boiled and spontaneously drew closer to Jiang Chen. A mysterious power arose from the darkness and fell upon Jiang Chen.

At that very moment, mysterious water patterns formed between his brows, and Jiang Chen's spirit soared. His dragon body spontaneously coiled like a snake, and he entered a state of ethereal tranquility.

In a daze, he saw the formation and development of the Qingyuan River. In that instant, he seemed to become a drop of water, merging into the great river, flowing with the current, flowing and flowing until the end of time.

At the same time, as more and more water vein power converged, Jiang Chen's dragon body was completely enveloped by spiritual energy, and his cultivation began to improve continuously.

His Dao foundation spontaneously changed, and droplets of spiritual energy continuously condensed and fell into his dantian, gradually taking on a more profound and robust appearance.

"So this is how water changes."

Time passed, and before he knew how much time had gone by, Jiang Chen suddenly gained many insights into the changes in the water's flow.

With a single thought, the world changed. In an instant, the aura surrounding Jiang Chen transformed, evolving into wind, clouds, rain, and water. For a time, the wind and rain were dark and gloomy, making it impossible to see or explain, as if it were the source of a storm.

Influenced by Jiang Chen, the water veins of the Qingyuan River resonated, and the changes that were originally confined to the nodes of the water veins suddenly began to spread outwards.

The wind howled and the dark clouds gathered, instantly obscuring the sky and making the entire Qingyuan County gloomy.

With a deafening roar, a torrential downpour followed, leaving countless people bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

"What's going on here?"

On the Qingyuan River, Qu Shize noticed this change and frowned. The sudden change in the celestial phenomena made him uneasy.

"Is it because of the disturbance of the Qingyuan River? That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that a cultivator has made a move? But the scale of this is too overwhelming. Surely there isn't a Purple Mansion cultivator hidden in this small Qingyuan County."

The thoughts clashed, and Qu Shize was completely baffled.

Should we continue pursuing this matter?

Looking up at the sky and observing the changing celestial phenomena, Qu Shize felt a little hesitant.

At this moment, he had arrived in Qinghe County and was not far from the location of the water vein space. It would be a pity to retreat now, but the sudden change in the celestial phenomena made him very uneasy.

Just as Qu Shize was hesitating, a gaze fell upon him, and Qu Shize's mind went blank upon feeling it.
