Long River Eternity

"What does it mean? Are you still confused?" Lin Ding asked.

"Your Director Tang should have some connection with an old friend of mine. He should know about the spiritual vein and some of your situation. That's why he is protecting you in finding the spiritual vein." Yang An replied.

"An old friend again, isn't it just the seven of you? Who else could it be?" Lin Ding curled his lips and said

"That's right, I'm just guessing which one it is, but I think he will show up soon." Yang An said.

"Lin Ding, we've been walking in the woods for a long time. Where exactly is the spiritual vein you mentioned?" Liu Xianxian's clear voice rang out. Wei Wu also looked at Lin Ding.

The forest where the three of them were now was denser than before, the trees were thicker, and the branches and leaves blocked out the sun. Very little sunlight could penetrate into the forest, making it seem a little dim.

"I can feel the spiritual energy getting thicker and thicker. We should be here soon." Lin Ding said after closing his eyes and sensing the concentration of the spiritual energy around him.

"Let's go quickly, it feels eerie here." Liu Xianxian said as she shrank closer to Lin Ding.

The three of them continued walking deeper into the forest, unaware that a pair of cold eyes were staring at them from a huge tree behind them.

"Lin Ding, I will now teach Liu Xianxian a martial art. Please put your hand on her forehead." Yang An's voice sounded.

"Ah, put...put her forehead?" Lin Ding said nervously.

"Why are you shy? Hurry up." Yang An urged.

Then, Lin Ding stopped and mustered up the courage to say to Liu Xianxian, "Well... Xianxian, I'm going to teach you a technique now. I need... I need to put my hand on your forehead, is that okay?"

Liu Xianxian was stunned for a moment, then she used her hand to push aside her bangs in front of her forehead, and nodded her head towards Lin Ding, saying happily, "Okay, okay, come on."

Lin Ding raised his slightly trembling hand and slowly stretched it towards Liu Xianxian's forehead, finally pressing his entire palm tightly against her forehead.

A technique called "Green Leaf Condensation Technique" appeared in Liu Xianxian's mind.

"Wow! It's so magical. Where did you learn this? This technique is much more powerful than what we teach in school!" Liu Xianxian closed her eyes and felt the technique, and said in surprise.

Seeing that the technique had already been passed on, Lin Ding quickly retracted his hand and replied with a blushing face, "I happened to learn it in the ruins. Don't... don't tell anyone else."

Without Yang An's permission, he couldn't tell Liu Xianxian about Yang An's existence.

"It seems that you have encountered a great opportunity in the ruins. I really envy you. Please tell me in detail when you have the chance." Liu Xianxian said enviously.

"Okay, let's continue." Lin Ding said.

The deeper we went, the darker it became. After walking for a few more minutes, the sunlight above our heads was completely blocked by the leaves, and it was so dark that we couldn't see our hands in front of us.

There was no other way, Wei Wu had to condense an energy ball in his palm for lighting.

"Hey, didn't Lin Ding say that you just reached Class A? How come you can condense energy? Isn't this something that only those in the Dongming Realm can do?" Liu Xianxian asked in surprise.

"Senior Zhan passed on some of his energy to me before he died. Now I have reached the realm of true enlightenment." Wei Wu said proudly.

"You jumped two grades in a row. That's amazing. You are usually too low-key in school." Liu Xianxian praised.

"Hehehe..." Wei Wu scratched his head and smiled foolishly because of the compliment.

"Hey, there seems to be a big hole on the ground ahead!" Lin Ding said as he ran towards the hole, and Wei Wu and the others hurriedly followed.

When the three of them got closer, they found that it was more like a crack in the ground than a hole.

This is a huge crack that is dozens of meters long and up to two meters wide at its widest point.

After carefully feeling it, Lin Ding said in surprise, "The spiritual vein should be right below. I feel an extremely rich spiritual energy gushing out from it!"

"How can we get down in here when it's pitch black?" asked Liu Xianxian.

"Get a torch and throw it down to explore the way." Wei Wu suggested.

Wei Wu acted immediately. He quickly found a wooden stick as thick as his arm from the side, released energy to ignite one end of the stick, and then threw it into the crack.

The wooden stick fell four or five meters before hitting the ground, and then it went out with a "hiss" sound.

"There seems to be an underground river underneath." Lin Ding said.

"It's not high. I'll go down first." Wei Wu said and jumped into the crack without waiting for Lin Ding to stop him.

Because Wei Wu put away the energy ball in his hand when he jumped down, the surroundings suddenly became dark. Liu Xianxian subconsciously grabbed Lin Ding's arm. The sudden intimacy made Lin Ding's breathing stagnate.

Soon, the sound of Wei Wu landing was heard from below, and then the light reappeared in Wei Wu's hands.

"Come down. There is a road here that leads to somewhere." After looking around, Wei Wu waved to Lin Ding and the others.

So the two of them jumped into the crack one after another.

There was a fairly wide river below the ground, the water not deep, just enough to cover the feet. The three of them were standing in the middle of the river.

All I could hear around me was the gurgling sound of water and the sound of wind blowing through the cracks above my head.

"Go upstream." Lin Ding said.

Then the three of them continued to move forward. After they walked away, the remaining faint light illuminated a black shadow that quietly came underground along the crack.

"I can feel the strong spiritual power in the water."

After walking forward for a distance, Lin Ding squatted down, put his hands in the water and said.

"Well, although I can't feel the spiritual power, I can feel that it's very comfortable to soak in this water." Liu Xianxian kicked the water and said.

"It seems that although we cannot directly absorb spiritual energy for cultivation, spiritual power is still beneficial to our physical body." Wei Wu said.

"Look, there seems to be a light ahead." Liu Xianxian suddenly said, pointing ahead.

The two looked ahead, and sure enough, there was a faint light flickering in the distant corner ahead.

The three of them ran quickly towards the light source. After turning the corner, the scene before them made them all freeze in place.

There was still a passage leading forward in front of me, but the difference was that the passage was inlaid with spirit stones of different sizes, emitting a faint white light, from top to bottom and left to right, making the entire passage as gorgeous as the Milky Way in the night sky.

The entire passage extends forward, and the spirit stones are inlaid all over the passage.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. Is this the spiritual vein you are looking for?" Liu Xianxian was already stunned by the sight before her.

Even if one cannot feel the fluctuation of spiritual power, such a shocking scene must be a spiritual vein without a doubt.

"It's just a low-grade spiritual vein, why are you so surprised?" Yang An's voice rang out.

"Is this just a low-grade product?" Lin Ding asked in surprise.

"Of course, you see, the largest one is only the size of a fist, and the light it emits is so dim, it must be of low quality. But fortunately, there are a lot of them, which is enough for your practice this time." Yang An said lightly.

"Be careful!" Wei Wu's shout was heard, and then Lin Ding was pushed away.

With a loud "bang", Wei Wu was hit by a black shadow and fell heavily on the side wall of the passage, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Due to the attack, Wei Wu's energy ball dissipated. Lin Ding could only use the faint light of the spirit stone to barely see that it was a two-headed giant python that was nearly twenty meters long and as thick as a bucket.

"A two-headed python at the peak of the Dongming Realm?!"
