"What does treasure hunting mean?" Xu Weichen asked puzzledly.

Liu Yishu waved at Xu Weichen, motioning him to come over.

The master didn't think there was anything wrong with the disciple's waving gesture. Instead, he felt sorry for the burden that the dense spiritual energy put on his body. He walked to the side of the disciple, leaned over and listened to what he said.

Liu Yishu leaned over, covered half of his mouth with one hand, and whispered into Xu Weichen's ear in a whispering posture: "I felt it when I entered Baiyujing. The spiritual energy under this area is particularly rich, even richer than the spiritual energy in this attic. Maybe there are treasures!"

As he spoke, warm air flowed straight into Xu Weichen's ears.

Xu Weichen's ears were very sensitive and he had never been so close to anyone before. His earlobes turned red instantly and he moved his head away a little bit uncomfortably.

Liu Yishu found his reaction at this moment very interesting and wanted to tease him, but then he remembered that they had only known each other for a few days after all, so he resisted the urge to play a prank.

Xu Weichen tried hard to focus all his mind on what his young disciple said. He did not suspect that his young disciple was deceiving him. After all, from the very beginning, his young disciple behaved differently from ordinary people. With his talent of building a foundation in three days, it was not surprising that he could sense spiritual energy that even he could not sense.

"It is rumored that there is a spiritual vein in Xirang City. Perhaps what you sensed is the location of the spiritual vein."

"Are there any treasures in that spiritual vein?" Liu Yishu asked.

"Spiritual stones are nurtured by spiritual veins."

Liu Yishu's eyes lit up, "There must be a lot of spiritual stones in the spiritual vein. Getting rich overnight is not a dream. Master, let's go find it!"

The spiritual veins were born and nurtured by heaven and earth. The spiritual veins came into being first, and then the bustling city was built because of them. Therefore, the people in the bustling city with spiritual veins can use it, and all the cultivators in the world can use it, but it depends on whether you have the ability.

Xu Weichen didn't think there was anything wrong with his disciple's desire to go to the spirit vein to get spirit stones. He also liked the sparkling look in his disciple's eyes and didn't have the heart to say anything to spoil his mood, but there were some things he had to say: "The spirit vein is the foundation of Xirang City. It will definitely be strictly guarded and heavily protected by barriers. We can't get in!"

Liu Yishu was not discouraged and continued, "I can feel that there is a very special place, which seems to be very close to the spiritual vein. Master, do you want to go with me to take a look?"

Now that things have come to this, Xu Weichen feels that he should be a good master who trusts his disciple. Besides, he is just going to take a look, so if there is any danger, he should just not go in.

So after Xu Weichen scanned the area within a kilometer radius outside the Qionglou with his spiritual sense and found that there were no cultivators, the master and disciple left the Qionglou, avoided the barrier outside, and came to a rockery.

"This is where I feel the sensation." Liu Yishu said, pointing at the rockery.

In the novel, Chaoyang was assassinated by a cultivator from the Ye family in Baiyujing. When his life was in danger, he fled into a rockery in a panic, only to find that someone had set up an illusion inside the rockery. After removing the illusion, a passage appeared, which was directly connected to the underground spiritual vein.

The novel didn’t specifically say which rockery it was, but Liu Yishu’s spiritual sense was so strong that he could figure out the clues at a glance.

Xu Weichen observed carefully for a while and found that there was something seriously wrong with the rockery, just as his young disciple had said.

Staying in Baiyujing's superior guest room for one day will earn you a top-grade spirit stone. The cultivators who come here are all here for the rich spiritual energy in the guest rooms. They wish they could be welded to death in the guest rooms, absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation every minute. Who would have the leisure to wander outside?

The person who set up the magic array to deceive people was probably aware of this. The array was set up very casually, with almost no fluctuations in spiritual power. As long as one did not use spiritual awareness nearby, no clues would be discovered.

It is easy to break the magic array, but the difficult part is not to alert the person who set it up.

The reason why Chaoyang broke the formation without alarming the person who set up the formation was that the fire he condensed already had a trace of the aura of the Vermillion Bird's natal fire, the Nanming Lihuo. The Nanming Lihuo was uniquely skilled in breaking through obstacles, and once the fire burned, the illusion was gone, and it happened silently.

But Xu Weichen had no way to do this. His current cultivation level was lower than that of the person who set up the formation, and he did not have any protagonist halo or golden fingers. So even if it was just a trick that could be broken with a single poke, he could not easily do it.

He seems gentle, but he is actually a decisive person. Knowing that the situation cannot be achieved, he plans to take his little apprentice back to Qionglou.

But Liu Yishu was unwilling to return empty-handed.

This little sleight of hand could not stop him.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. A ray of lightning force shot out and instantly broke through the illusion.

He attacked without saying a word, and it was too late for Xu Weichen to stop him.

Seeing that the illusion was broken, Xu Weichen grabbed his disciple's hand and wanted to escape, but Liu Yishu refused to cooperate.

"Master, the illusion has been broken. Let's go to the spiritual vein to look for spiritual stones!" Liu Yishu said happily.

Xu Weichen was silent for a moment, then said, "The person who set up the blinding spell has probably sensed that the spell has been broken. He must be at least in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, so he will be here in no time. We can't stay here, and we can't stay in Baiyujing either."

"Master, don't worry. He can't detect it. My lightning power is the nemesis of all illusions!" Liu Yishu said confidently.

In fact, it was not the case. He just used a little bit of his soul power. Anyway, he had already built a foundation and his body had become much stronger. It would not hurt to use a little bit. At most, he could not run and jump, but he could still walk normally.

Is the Thunder Spiritual Root so strong?

Moreover, with the young disciple's level of cultivation, how can he be sure that breaking the barrier will not alert the other party?

Xu Weichen had many questions as his little disciple had too many secrets. However, he was not the kind of person who liked to pry into other people's secrets. If his little disciple didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask.

Things have come to this point. The time they have wasted here has made them miss the best opportunity to escape. If the other party really catches up with them, he will protect his little disciple's safety even at the cost of his entire cultivation.

Having made up his mind, he took the lead and walked into the rockery.

There was a downward passage inside the rockery. It was not wide and could only accommodate two people walking side by side. Xu Weichen was unaware of the danger and quickly walked through the passage with his little apprentice.

The further down they went, the denser the spiritual energy became. Xu Weichen was worried that his little disciple would feel uncomfortable, so he put three layers of barrier on him in succession, to both isolate him from the spiritual energy and to save his life at the critical moment.

In half a cup of tea, the two saw the spiritual vein. The road was smooth and unobstructed, without any barriers, obstacles or traps, and no one was chasing them. It was incredibly smooth.

There is naturally a barrier guarding the spiritual vein, but the barrier connecting the passage is useless and breaks with a single poke. It is even more perfunctory than an illusion.

At this point, Xu Weichen finally let go of his worries. Looking at the spiritual vein in front of him, he, who was always very restrained, couldn't help but smile with joy.

"This passage should have been dug by a cultivator in Xirang City who embezzled the space. Only a person in a high position of power could have done that. I think our little scholar is really blessed to be able to bear the loss of the spirit stones!" After saying that, he couldn't help but reach out and touch Liu Yishu's head.

He touched her casually and withdrew his hand after that, but Liu Yishu's whole body froze.

It's nothing, the touch is just too familiar.

Many years ago, when he was still a little white fox following Xu Weichen as a pet, Xu Weichen liked to hold him in his arms and touch the hair on his head.

It was not known whether he did it on purpose or subconsciously. Liu Yishu looked at him for a long time without leaving any trace, but could not see anything.

The art of mind reading is the Nine-tailed Fox's natural talent, but no matter whether it was the Xu Weichen of the past or the present, he cannot clearly perceive what the other person is thinking.
