I Collect Skill Fragments in the Demon World

Chapter 237: Beneath the Yellow Springs


"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing Xie Lingyun's words.

"Since you know about the mysterious, you should have heard of the word qi." Xie Lingyun said.

Zhang Chen nodded, "Of course."

Xie Lingyun looked into Zhang Chen's eyes, "Then do you know that the birth of the Earth Dragon Vein is also related to qi?"

"The Earth Dragon Vein is related to qi?" Zhang Chen was stunned by the words; it was the first time he had heard of it.

Xie Lingyun did not conceal anything, "In every dynasty in the world, if it desires to rise and prosper, it must first find a Dragon Vein, bury the ancestors' bodies within, and then undergo nourishment through Feng Shui Technique. In the unseen realm, the Earth Dragon Vein will transform into a mysterious qi, sheltering the human dynasty."

"The establishment of a human dynasty and its duration are closely related to the Dragon Vein. If the governance is clear and the people live in peace and contentment, the collective strength of the masses will nourish the Dragon Vein, strengthening it. But if the dynasty is corrupt, governance is in chaos, and the people suffer from hunger, their resentment will deplete the power of the Dragon Vein. Once the Dragon Vein Qi is exhausted by the people's grievances, the dynasty will have no qi support and will perish." Xie Lingyun's voice was full of seriousness:

"Every Great Victory Dynasty official is surely protected by the Dragon Vein Qi. Even a Yin God Strong Person cannot possess or harm them; otherwise, they would be counterattacked by the Dragon Vein Qi. So the power of the Dragon Vein Qi is strongly linked to the unseen fate of the nation."

"Of course, nothing is absolute in the world. There are countless strange Secret Techniques that can break the dynasty's fortunes. But as the rank of the official increases, the price for attempting harm increases. When it comes to the Emperor's level, he's almost an embodiment of the Earth Dragon Vein. To harm the Emperor is to harm the immense land itself, which is akin to going against heaven, and the price is unimaginable." Xie Lingyun said.

"This mountain range is the Ancestral Vein of the Northern Land Dragon Vein. In the past, the Prince Pingbian's Mansion was merely a Landlord's House, and the ancestral burial site was just an ordinary Seventh Grade official's Dragon Vein. Later, through good fortune and with guidance from a highly skilled person, it began to rise, using qi to nourish the Dragon Vein, enlarging it, and it started to devour other Dragon Veins. Later, as the Prince Pingbian's Mansion rectified governance, the Northern Land's governance became clear, winning people's hearts. After centuries of accumulated qi, the initial Seventh Grade Dragon Vein now has the foundation to evolve into the Emperor's Dragon Vein. You are now refining a Magical Treasure, directly drawing Earth Dragon Vein Qi, which is literally destroying Prince Pingbian's lifeblood. If Prince Pingbian's Mansion finds out, how could they tolerate you?" Xie Lingyun's voice was full of shock.

Every Dragon Vein in the world is of nine grades, corresponding to the nine-grade official system. Above the Ninth Grade is the Ancestral Dragon Vein, capable of nurturing emperors.

What truly shocked her was that Zhang Chen could actually draw the power of the Earth Dragon Vein; this is the Power of Heaven and Earth, something even a Yang God True Man absolutely can't do.

Were the methods of a Qi Cultivator truly so mysterious and incredible?

Xie Lingyun marveled at the unfathomable abilities of a Qi Cultivator.

Zhang Chen, upon hearing this news, first showed a look of shock in his eyes, surprised that he had unknowingly put the Eight Trigrams Furnace on the Dragon Vein of Prince Pingbian's Mansion. Then he smiled proudly, not fearing the power of Prince Pingbian's Mansion at all, "So what? I've already forged a deadly enmity with Prince Pingbian's Mansion; even if I don't draw from the Dragon Vein, they certainly won't spare me."

"That's not what I'm worried about. This Dragon Vein is a creation of Heaven and Earth. I'm afraid drawing power from it will offend Heaven and Earth, bringing cause and effect force upon you, leading to ominous signs." Xie Lingyun's voice was full of concern.

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then said, "Cultivating Immortality and Qi truly involves seizing Creation from Heaven and Earth; it's inherently defying the heavens. How could I be afraid of calamity?"

"However, what you just said does make me a bit worried. Will Prince Pingbian's Mansion sense my drawing from the Dragon Vein and come for me?" Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun with some anxiety, as this was what he was concerned about.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingyun chuckled, "What are you thinking? Although Prince Pingbian's Mansion knows the importance of Dragon Veins, they can't find this Reverse Scale's location. Otherwise, they would have long since deployed heavy guards to prevent anyone from cutting the Dragon Vein. To be honest, if I hadn't helped you find the geomantic position of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, discovering the key to the Northern Land Dragon Vein, I wouldn't have found this place either."

"Although Feng Shui Technique can locate Dragon Veins, it's not omnipotent. A place like a Reverse Scale is virtually untraceable. The mysterious nature of Heaven's Creation is naturally protected by Heaven, shielding it from our exploration and discovery." Xie Lingyun said, "So as long as you don't cause any phenomena to alarm the outside world, no one from Prince Pingbian's Mansion will come to investigate. As for whether Prince Pingbian's Mansion will sense you drawing Dragon Vein Qi, you're overthinking it. The Dragon Vein is incredibly mysterious; even Qi Observation Technique doesn't dare to look at it directly, only seeing a vague outline."

Zhang Chen seemed thoughtful upon hearing this, "Feng Shui Technique, huh? I didn't expect it to have such miraculous methods."

"The Dragon Vein carries the word 'dragon' not by chance," Xie Lingyun said, "But since you don't fear bearing the cause and effect, nor the Karmic Force of Heaven, it shouldn't be an issue."

"In fact, I hope you can massively extract power from the Dragon Vein. The more you extract, the more unfortunate Prince Pingbian's Mansion will be, until their qi is exhausted and they crumble." Xie Lingyun's eyes were on Zhang Chen.
