Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 124 Hidden Vein Branches
Deep in the Liuquan Valley, the brilliance of the spiritual spring has completely dimmed. Even with the moonlight shining on it, it still does not show any extraordinaryness. It is no different from an ordinary clear spring. Instead, there is a spiritual peach tree with twisted branches and emerald leaves. It is surrounded by spiritual light and is extremely extraordinary.

"What a domineering spell! This first-level spiritual spring has been completely destroyed. It no longer has any spiritual charm."

Reaching out and scooping up a handful of spring water, Jiang Chen carefully felt its changes and confirmed that it had completely transformed from a spiritual spring into ordinary water, no longer having any magical properties.

"With the spiritual spring gone, the hundred acres of spiritual fields nourished by it will soon return to normal. The foundation of this Flowing Spring Valley has been completely destroyed."

A thought came to his mind, and Jiang Chen activated the secret technique.

The next moment, the spiritual peach tree swayed, the spiritual light converged, and turned into a peach branch again and fell into his hand.

"With the spiritual energy provided by this spiritual spring, the construction of the weapon pool and the secret place for cultivation can be put on the agenda."

Feeling the rich spiritual charm in the peach wood branches, Jiang Chen felt quite satisfied.

"The power of the peach wood branch is too overbearing, so we have to cover it up."

The corpse fire rose, and Jiang Chen destroyed all traces, creating the illusion of venting his anger to prevent anyone from noticing the extraordinary nature of the peach wood branch.

After a while, Jiang Chen took away the last grain of spiritual rice in Liuquan Valley and left without staying for long.

On the next day, someone finally discovered that something was wrong with the Lingquan Formation. Although the Liuzhu Formation protected the Liuquan Valley, it also turned it into a tomb. After the death of Gao Siling, the Qi-cultivating cultivator, no one could control the formation. It blocked everyone's way of life, and even news could not be passed on.

"Leaving no one alive, what a cruel and ruthless method."

Arriving by flying boat and looking at the scene in Liuquan Valley, all the Gao family cultivators felt a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, the morning sun was shining, and the Liuquan Valley was very quiet, without a single sound. At this moment, Gao Siyuan walked out of the flying boat. He had originally planned to go to Qinghe County, but the news of the accident in Liuquan Valley suddenly came, which made him change his itinerary.

When they saw Gao Siyuan appear, the Gao family members who were originally talking a lot suddenly quieted down.

Soon, the flying boat landed, and the Gao family cultivators walked into the Liuquan Valley. Without the spiritual spring as support, the Liuzhu Formation had completely lost its function.

"Such pure and rich corpse energy."

Arriving at the depths of Lingquan Valley, Gao Siyuan used his magic and captured a wisp of residual corpse energy.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong? That corpse Taoist really exists and is not someone else pretending to be him?"

Holding the corpse qi in his hand and feeling the essence of this corpse qi, Gao Siyuan felt some doubts in his heart.

In Qingyuan County, no, in the four southern counties, there is no force that is good at refining corpses. Such pure corpse energy cannot be easily simulated by outsiders. The person who took action must be extremely proficient in the method of refining corpses.

In Qingyuan County, the Corpse Taoist is openly the most proficient cultivator in this field.

Seeing Gao Siyuan lost in thought, the other Gao family cultivators did not dare to disturb him, but they were not at peace in their hearts. First it was Gao Sihui and Gao Sixing, and now it was Gao Siling. In a short period of time, the Gao family had lost two Qi-cultivating cultivators. It was really chilling. You know, the Gao family's Qi-cultivating cultivators only knew two skills in total.

"Master, there is a secret door in the Liuzhu formation. The other party used this secret door to easily sneak into the Liuquan Valley, causing the current tragedy." After a while, a Qi-cultivating cultivator from the Gao family came to Gao Siyuan.

After careful inspection, he discovered the secret door on the Liuzhu Array and determined the reason why Jiang Chen could easily sneak into the Liuquan Valley.

Hearing this, Gao Siyuan was not too surprised. If there was no problem with the Liuzhu Formation, Gao Siling would definitely not have died before being rescued. The only thing that he couldn't understand was how the other party, or the corpse Taoist, found this secret door.

"The secret door in the Liuzhu formation should have been left by the An family, but how did the corpse Taoist know about it? Did he capture the remnants of the An family and get it from them? Or is he related to the An family himself?"

As his thoughts turned, at this moment, Gao Siyuan began to doubt the identity of the corpse Taoist.

"If we say that the Corpse Taoist is a remnant of the An family, then many things can be explained clearly. It is normal for him to know about the secret door. Killing Si Xing was not simply for money, but more for revenge. This also explains why he was so ruthless."

Connecting the previous details together, Gao Siyuan suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Many immortal cultivation families, especially those with a long history, have the tradition of differentiating hidden veins. Although the An family is not strong, the inheritance time is relatively long, so it is possible that hidden veins have been differentiated, and the corpse Taoist may belong to a hidden vein.

"If Corpse Taoist is the hidden branch of the An family, after the An family's main branch was suddenly destroyed, he would naturally want to enter Liuquan Valley and revive the An family. It makes sense that he discovered that the Gao family occupied Liuquan Valley and completely hated the Gao family."

"The only unreasonable thing is that the corpse Taoist is too strong."

Gao Siyuan frowned as his thoughts wandered.

"Immediately summon the cultivators in your household who are skilled in tracking techniques. They should carefully survey the traces within the Flowing Spring Valley, then capture the aura and begin the pursuit from here."

"The aura of a refined corpse is very unique and can easily leave traces. In addition, we must strictly order our family cultivators not to act alone. Each team must have two Qi training cultivators."

After a brief hesitation, Gao Siyuan gave the order.

Upon hearing this, all the monks of the Gao family bowed in response.

As the news of the destruction of Liuquan Valley spread, the cultivation world in Qingyuan County was immediately in an uproar. This was even more sensational than the news of the destruction of the An family and the breaching of Liuquan Valley. After all, it was the Gao family, one of the top families in Qingyuan County, that occupied Liuquan Valley.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were cast on the Gao family, and the name of the Corpse Taoist became truly known to everyone.

First, he killed Gao Siyuan's younger brother, Gao Sihui, a Qi-cultivating cultivator of the Gao family, and now he has even massacred people in Liuquan Valley. He is truly a notorious murderer.

"Corpse Taoist, hey, from now on, he will undoubtedly be the leader of the evil cultivators in Qingyuan County."

"The Gao family is unlucky this time. It's good that they can find the Corpse Taoist, but if they can't, they will probably have trouble sleeping. With the combat power displayed by the Corpse Taoist, ordinary cultivators in the early stages of Qi training are no match for him. Only cultivators who have achieved a minor level of Qi training can confidently fight him."

There was a lot of discussion, some were shocked, some were gloating. The Gao family had been developing very rapidly in recent years, but it was also because of this that they had offended many people. However, because the Gao family had the support of the County Magistrate's Office and the Gao family itself was quite powerful, these people could not do anything to them.

But seeing that the Gao family was in trouble one after another, they were naturally happy to watch the show. Some people even had the idea of ​​contacting the Corpse Taoist. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
