Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 99 What's its background?
The surrounding cliffs were covered with thorns and various poisonous plant fruits.

The further down you go, the denser the mist becomes in the air.

The naked eye can only see through a distance of three meters. Ye Qiumian released her divine sense and found that it was unaffected by the mist.

She avoided the tender buds below and used her spiritual sense to reach the bottom of the cliff.

The bottom of the cliff, shrouded in mist, was a lush, verdant landscape.

A thin stream flows down from the folds of the rock wall, forming a clear pool at the bottom of the valley.

The steam rose and spread in all directions, nourishing every inch of the land, making it lush and green.

The roots of the century-old tree, like writhing dragons, clung to the crevices of the rock, while its branches leaned upwards, casting a dense shade that filtered the sunlight filtering down from the cliff top, turning it into scattered gold that fell onto the thick carpet of moss.

Ferns crowded the cracks in the rocks, dewdrops rolling on their feathery leaves. Stepping in would startle countless flying insects, which would dart about in the light and shadow.

The vines climbed up the tree trunk, adorned with small purple and white flowers. When the wind blew, the fragrance of the flowers mixed with the fresh scent of grass and trees, and even the air was dyed a moist green.

Occasionally, mountain stream water cascades down, splashing onto the surface of the pool and creating ripples. Startled, small animals drinking at the pool's edge dart into the bushes, leaving only the rustling of leaves behind.

The tender shoot fell to the bottom of the cliff and darted into a dense thicket of grass.

The grass was waist-high and so dense that it was impenetrable.

Amidst the withered yellow grass, thorny vines still entwine, and the lingering morning dew clings to the tips of the leaves, shimmering in the dappled sunlight filtering through the forest.

Ye Qiumian followed the grass to the front, put away her flying device, and went forward to observe the grass where the tender shoots had disappeared.

As a pale yellow aura of spiritual energy condensed at her fingertips, the surrounding plants and trees suddenly swayed without any wind.

The spiritual energy in the dantian surged through the five meridians and eight extraordinary vessels to the palm, like a pool of living water breaking through the sluice gate, carrying a slightly tingling warmth that spread over the fingertips.

"laugh--"

Spiritual energy burst forth from his fingertips, like an invisible blade, instantly slicing through waist-high grass.

The withered grass stems snapped with a snap, and the leaves, glistening with morning dew, scattered and revealed the mountain wall that had been completely hidden inside, as well as a dark cave entrance.

The opening was about three feet wide, and its edges were covered with dark green moss.

A few strands of vines hung from the stone wall, swaying gently from the lingering effects of the spiritual energy.

She withdrew her spiritual energy, the blue light at her fingertips slowly fading away, and she frowned slightly as she gazed at the cave entrance.

The cave wasn't very deep; looking inside, you could vaguely see dry rock walls, just big enough for two people to walk in side by side, bending over.

Some blurry claw marks remain on the soil at the entrance of the cave, indicating that some small animal once lived there.

But it's clear that no animals have been here for a long time, otherwise there wouldn't be so many weeds growing in front of the cave entrance.

Ye Qiumian walked into the cave and smelled a damp, earthy scent in the air.

That was the bitter smell of grass and trees mixed with soil after they were split open.

My feet sank into the cave floor, and the soles of my shoes crunched over the gravel.

The sunlight outside the cave was blocked by the rock walls, leaving only a few pale golden rays that slanted in, barely illuminating an area of ​​about ten feet around the cave entrance.

You can't see anything beyond that.

She took out a luminous pearl from her spatial storage, and its shimmering white light immediately spread out, pushing away the surrounding darkness.

The cave walls were very dry, and the rough, granular texture of the surface was visible to the naked eye.

Ye Qiumian looked up and saw that the cave ceiling was not high, and she could see the intersecting stone edges. In some places, there were also small, light red stalactites hanging from it.

She walked along the cave passage, her footsteps echoing heavily in the empty space.

Every few steps I took, I was bounced back by the rock wall, the sound of my own breathing swirling around me. The cave passage was more orderly than I had imagined; although there were some loose stones scattered on the ground, it wasn't too difficult to walk through.

Occasionally, a protruding rock would poke the sole of her foot, and she would slightly turn to avoid it.

After walking for a while, the passage ahead suddenly narrowed, allowing only one person to pass through halfway.

She raised her hand and pressed it against the rock wall on the left, feeling the cool touch of the rock.

"There's actually spiritual energy here!"

Sensing a faint trace of spiritual energy within the rock wall, Ye Qiumian looked somewhat surprised.

Could there be some treasure inside?
She let go of his hand and continued walking forward. The further she went in, the more intense the spiritual energy became.

Ye Qiumian placed her hand on the rock wall, but still only sensed a faint trace of spiritual energy.

She took out a dagger, dug into a rock wall to examine it, and found it to be just an ordinary stone shrouded in a faint spiritual aura.

It seems there must be something she doesn't know at the end of this cave.

Could it be that there are cultivators in this world?
Ye Qiumian dared not release her divine sense casually, for fear of offending someone she shouldn't.

Thinking of this, she immediately became wary.

After walking about two hundred meters, she suddenly stopped when the glow of the luminous pearl shone on the rock wall at the end of the road.

This is the end of the cave.

Within the shimmering white halo, a small piece of spirit stone was clearly embedded.

The stones varied in size, the smallest being the size of a fist, and their surfaces gleamed with a lustrous sheen.

Spiritual energy was gushing out from the cracks in the rocks, condensing into visible mist that slowly diluted and dissipated in mid-air.

She spotted the little sprout immediately, perched on the largest spirit stone in the middle.

Its three small leaves clung tightly to the spirit stone, and its bud stem throbbed like a heart.

At this moment, the tender bud and the entire seedling are doing their best to absorb spiritual energy.

The surrounding spiritual energy and white mist suddenly surged into its leaf buds and stems, forming a small vortex.

The spirit stone that it had grabbed onto was gradually losing its luster, as it had already absorbed the spiritual energy within it.

As soon as she stood still, a surge of powerful spiritual energy rushed towards her.

Unlike the thin, drifting spiritual energy at the cave entrance, the spiritual energy here is as thick as honey that cannot be dissolved. It feels slightly warm to the touch and seeps into the pores.

The spiritual energy in his dantian spontaneously leaped up, as if it had encountered a kindred spirit.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her fingertips twitched slightly—

This concentration was comparable to that of the medium-level spiritual vein she had accidentally entered back in the cultivation world.

The spiritual vein was hidden in a deep valley, where spiritual energy surged like a river, while the spiritual energy here, though more restrained, was astonishingly rich.

Every breath she took carried a rich spiritual energy.

His gaze swept over the spirit stones that continued to gleam, and then fell on the swirling vortex of spiritual energy around the tender sprout.

A slight smile crept onto her lips, her eyes brimming with joy: "No wonder it came here... Could this be a spiritual vein?"

At the same time, she suddenly realized that the little sprout in front of her, which was frantically absorbing spiritual energy, was no ordinary plant!
The fact that it was able to find this place means that it came specifically for this spiritual vein.

What exactly is its origin?
Ye Qiumian stared at the little sprout for a while and found that it had grown a lot.

Not only did it gain an extra leaf, but the seedling also grew a third larger.
