Chapter 6 - Discovering The Spirit Vein!

Chapter 6 Discovering the Spirit Vein!

In Qianlong Mountain, the car was running on winding mountain path. Green trees made shade on both sides of the path.

Chen Hanlong was very business-minded. When he developed Qianlong Mountain, he did not destroy the original appearance of the mountain, and all the trees were preserved completely. Looking from a distance, the entire villa group seemed to be hidden in the dense forest, like a hidden paradise.

It was no wonder that this quiet place in such a noisy city would be loved by various big shots.

The villa Chen Hanlong gave to Chu Xun was originally the one that Chen Hanlong prepared for himself. Both in terms of location and overall structure, the villa was higher than other villas.

After parking the car, Chu Xun walked into the villa.

He felt soft under his feet. The floor of the villa was covered with Bohemia handmade carpets. There were also leather sofas imported from Italy in the villa. The decoration was exquisite but not luxurious, and there was a magnificent atmosphere everywhere in the villa. From the looks of it, Chen Hanlong, who was a rough man, could not have such a taste. Thus, the decoration of the villa possibly was designed by Bai Jing.

The villa was a duplex with three floors, one more floor the other villas. Given its location, standing on the third floor, one could gain an overhead view of all the villas

Chu Xun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor, but he was thinking about what happened that day instead of enjoying the view.

“Where are my parents?”

“Who is the one behind all this? Why did he do these to me?”

Even though he was not an ordinary person now, thinking of these made him have a faint headache.

Rubbing his eyebrows, he looked into the distance suddenly, seemingly a little moved.

Not many things could make Chu Xun feel moved.

In the distance, there was a horizontal ridge standing tall, almost as high as Qianlong Mountain. The ridge stretched for hundreds of kilometers, like a dragon lying on its back.

“Spirit Vein.”

After a long while, Chu Xun murmured the two words. He didn’t expect that there would actually be a Spirit Vein on the earth, where spiritual energy had been exhausted.

The Spirit Veins, for the cultivators, were blessed places. In these places, the cultivators could yield twice the result with half the effort.

If spiritual energy would be drawn over by the Spirit Vein, Chu Xun had the confidence to step into the middle stage of Qi Refinement in a short time.

Countless ideas flashed in Chu Xun’s mind. Finally, he decided to use Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe.

Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe not only could absorb spiritual energy, but also could be a battle formation. It could be both offensive and defensive, including an universe inside it.

However, if a Spiritual Energy Drawing Formation of the Universe was to be built, it would require many precious materials. Fortunately, the 20 million yuan he got from Chen Hanlong should be enough for him to build one.

At this time, it was getting late, Chu Xun sat down with his legs crossed and started cultivating, which was a required course for the cultivators.

...

The next day.

After Chu Xun woke up from cultivation, he drove to the urban area of the city.

Setting up a formation was very simple for Chu Xun, but the required material, a piece of chalcedon, was extremely hard to get. In fact, the chalcedon could be replaced by good raw jades, but this formation determined the progress of his future cultivation, so he could not be careless about it.

The conditions for the formation of chalcedon were extremely strict. It was difficult to find even one piece chalcedon from tens of thousands of jades, which had to be hundreds of years old. The spiritual energy had dried up on the earth, thus, the chance of forming chalcedon was even lower.

Chu Xun could only try his luck now.

Hualing Antique Mall existed when Gujiang City was established.

The people here were from all walks of life.

Only in here was it possible to encounter some of the newly unearthed ancient jades.

This was because the mall was a paradise for grave robbers.

Chu Xun parked his car and walked into the antique mall.

“This is an ancient jade of ten thousand years. Once you put it on, it could strengthen your body, exorcise evil spirits, and eliminate your illness.”

“The chamber pot of First Emperor of Qin. It was unearthed recently and is an unique treasure. The one with the highest price will get it!”

“The scarlet top of Concubine of Fragrance. It still has the original fragrance of the concubine on it. Buy it and let your wife put on it, then you will be Emperor Qianlong...”

The ridiculous voices of pedlars kept sounding on both sides of the road.

In this mall, nine out of then goods were fake. If one wanted to find a real antique, he had to have extraordinary eyesight and experience.

Chu Xun walked along the street neither fast nor slowly. He swept over the place with his divine senses. Nothing could escape his sense detecting, but none of the goods was what he needed. What made him more amused was that he even saw a bronze statue of Chairman Mao, the bottom of which was carved with “made in the ear of Emperor Qianlong”.

“Can you make it look like a fake even more? At least show some sincerity when you made this fake antique?” Chu Xun thought.

Chu Xun was a little disappointed. It looked that he would get nothing he wanted this day.

When he was about to leave, he suddenly paused his steps and looked at a shop a dozen meters away.

House of Treasure!

Chu Xun’s current divine sense could cover the area within a dozen meters around him. Just now, he sensed an obscure spiritual energy fluctuation from this shop.

Chu Xun walked into the shop. The shop was actually over 200 square meters, which could not be seen from the outside, and was decorated in an ancient style. Agarwood was used in many places in the shop, so, there was a faint fragrance in the air that made the customers feel refreshed.

There were already several customers inside when Chu Xun walked in.

Seeing Chu Xun, a young salesman greeted him and said with a smile, “Can I help you? You can look around yourself or tell me what do you need, then I can recommend for you.”

“Thank you, I’ll have a look myself.”

The man was very smart. He nodded with a smile and walked away.

Chu Xun released his divine sense and could still feel the subtle spiritual energy fluctuation, but he found that it was not around him but from behind the shop.

Chu Xun walked inwards the shop while feeling the fluctuation.

“Sir, please don’t go inside. It is not open to the outsiders,” the salesman ran over, stopped Chu Xun, and said with a smile.

“Is it not open to the outsiders or just to me?” Chu Xun smiled and said. He just saw someone go inside.

“Sir, don’t get me wrong! This is the rule set by our boss. Only those who with invitations can go inside.”

“Can you please tell your boss that what I need in inside?”

The salesman looked at Chu Xun suspiciously and wondered how could Chu Xun know that what he needed was inside without going in? However, the people who came to House of Treasures were either rich or powerful, and the salesman could not afford to offend them.

“Sir, please wait for a minute!” The salesman trotted into the inner hall.

It didn’t take long for the salesman to trot back with a charming woman, who wore a red tunic skirt with a slender waist and tight hips. The woman had a beautiful face and long red hair, looking very impressive. She seemed to love red very much.

“Boss, this is that gentleman!” the salesman whispered to the woman.

When the woman saw Chu Xun, she was stunned for a moment because Chu Xun was too young. She had thought that young people now preferred fashion products, and few people would like those treasures and antiques.

“Little brother, so, you want to enter the our back hall?” The woman smiled, making the sun pale, and her voice sounded charming.

Chu Xun nodded.

“Do you know that after you enter our back hall, no matter you want to buy something or not, you must spend no less than this number,” the woman said, stretching out five slender fingers.

“Five million?” Chu Xun asked.

The woman could not help but feel stunned at the answer and then smiled even more charmingly, saying, “My little brother, you must be joking. I mean half a million. You really scared me.”

“Lead the way for me then!” Chu Xun said lightly.

The woman looked at Chu Xun in surprise twice. She was very confident in her appearance. She believed that as long as it was a man, no matter he was eight years old or eighty years old, he could not remain calm when he saw her.

Chu Xun looked so calm after seeing her, which made her a little bit upset. She doubted if she became less charming. She could see that Chu Xun was not pretending because his eyes were clear.

“My name is Hong Ling. What’s your name?”

“Chu Xun.”

“Brother Chu Xun, please come in!” Hong Ling turned over gracefully, twisting her hips and leading the way.

When Chu Xun entered the back hall, he found that it was totally different.

It was an elegant room with an area over 200 square meters. The decoration of the room was exquisite, and the various antiquities in it were obviously of a much higher level than those in the outside.

At this point, there were already seven or eight people in the room, all in purple suits, with an aura of success figures.

When they saw Chu Xun, they only glanced at him once and then immediately looked away and continued chatting with the people around them. In their opinion, Chu Xun was just an arty playboy and thought that he perhaps came for Hong Ling.

“Do you find anything that captures your fancy, gentlemen?” Hong Ling walked over to them and asked with a smile.

“Miss Hong Ling, we came here today for those few things you mentioned. Don’t sharpen our appetites,” A fat middle-aged man said and kept moving his gaze on Hong Ling’s perfect figure.

“As I think, the most precious thing in House of Treasure is you, Miss Hong Ling! I wonder if I have an opportunity to buy this big treasure back for collection?” said a man in his thirties who was elegant and handsome.

“If it is really possible, then I will definitely bid for it. I’ll take this baby home even if it costs me everything.”

“...”

The seven people joked in a half-real tone.

Hong Ling just covered her mouth and smiled but didn’t reply to them. Of course, she knew the purpose of these men.

As soon as Chu Xun entered the room, he stared at one of the safes in the corner of the room, where the spiritual energy came from.

“Alright! Every minute of you bosses worth tens of millions. I couldn’t afford to waste your time, so, let’s start now!”

After she finished speaking, Hong Ling walked to a safe twisting her slender waist. She then opened the safe, took out a rectangular wooden box, placed it on the exhibition table in the center of the room, and opened it gently.

A simple ancient dagger caught everyone’s sight.

The dagger was only forty centimeters long, with weird patterns engraved on it. The dagger had no edge and was black overall, but it gave people a chilling feeling.
