184: Chapter 3: Superior Spiritual Vein

"Is this the boundary of the Formation?" Chen Jiancang touched the invisible wall with his hand. Although the stagnant resistance had no killing power, it prevented Chen Jiancang from moving forward.

Chen Jiancang was very puzzled. Since there was a Formation here, how did Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan pass through?

"Never mind, I'll just wait outside." Chen Jiancang tried many times but couldn't break through the Formation's restriction. He could only return the way he came and quietly waited by the small stone pool for Old Ancestor Chen Qing Yuan to appear.

"There is a Formation set up here, and it's so well hidden. It must be that the ultra-long-distance teleportation array is in Qixia Mountain." Chen Jiancang pondered slightly, becoming more certain of his thoughts.

After all, no one would set up such a hidden Formation in an irrelevant place.

"Splash!"

After about half an hour, the sound of water breaking rang out, and Chen Qingyuan finally leaped out from the stone pool.

"Jiancang, you've made a great contribution this time." As soon as Chen Qingyuan's feet landed, he excitedly said to Chen Jiancang.

"Old Ancestor, is the ultra-long-distance teleportation array inside the Formation?" Chen Jiancang also quickly stepped forward to ask and confirm.

Chen Qingyuan just nodded.

"Jiancang, there's not just one teleportation array in here. You might not have thought that beneath Qixia Mountain, there's actually a hidden Grade Three High Grade spirit vein." Chen Qingyuan's tone became increasingly excited.

You should know that there are only two known Grade Three spirit veins in the entire Southern Corner Region. The one occupied by the Hanhai Li Family is merely a Grade Three Low Grade spirit vein. And the Grade Three spirit vein in Liyang Volcano is only Grade Three Mid-Grade.

Who could have imagined that there was actually a Grade Three High Grade spirit vein in the Qingya Mountain Range?

"A Grade Three High Grade spirit vein? How is that possible?" Hearing this, Chen Jiancang also showed a look of astonishment, finding it a bit hard to believe.

According to his knowledge, the spiritual energy dispersed by a Grade Three High Grade spirit vein is an unimaginable amount. However, no one on Qixia Mountain had ever sensed dense spiritual energy.

If there really was a Grade Three spirit vein inside, then the grade of the grand Formation hiding the spirit vein's aura would definitely be unimaginable.

At the very least, it must be a Grade Four Formation, right? Chen Jiancang guessed in his heart.

Chen Qingyuan said with a smile, "No need to doubt, I have confirmed it. What is sealed within the Formation is indeed a Grade Three High Grade spirit vein. Haha, our Chen Family has been established in the Qingya Mountain Range for over three hundred years, and we never discovered such a big secret hidden in Qixia Mountain."

"Jiancang, come with me and explore the Formation again." Chen Qingyuan pulled Chen Jiancang's sleeve and jumped into the small stone pool.

Following the water cave, they arrived at the edge of the Formation that had just obstructed Chen Jiancang. They saw Chen Qingyuan take out the Great Shift Token and shake it at the edge of the Formation.

That incredibly tough, flawless Formation actually voluntarily revealed a doorway just wide enough for a person to pass through, and a wave of spiritual energy so dense it was suffocating rushed out.

Just by staying at the edge of the Formation for an instant, the spiritual energy, which was almost liquefied, hung like dew drops on the tips of Jiancang's hair.

"Jiancang, hurry and come in with me." At this moment, Chen Qingyuan urged.

Jiancang quickly followed. Following the water flow, they walked several hundred more steps, and the scene before them suddenly opened up.

Outside the water pool was a huge cave space covering over a thousand mu. In the center of the cave was a regular high platform, densely covered with Formation patterns, constantly emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.

Around the high platform, close to the mountain wall, were several wooden pavilions that had long since decayed, some already having rotted and collapsed.

It was clear that this place had been glorious for a period, but due to some reason, it declined, causing this teleportation array to completely disappear from the sight of the Southern Corner Region cultivation world.

"Chen Jiancang, explore the surroundings and see if there are any remnants. I will first study this teleportation array."

Chen Qingyuan instructed Chen Jiancang.

Although this place had the best spirit vein in the Southern Corner Region, a Grade Three High Grade spirit vein, compared to the spirit vein, the ultra-long-distance teleportation array located above the spirit vein was the top priority.

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Chen Jiancang glanced around the high platform and walked towards the ruined pavilion closest to him.

He hoped to find a clue about the origin of the teleportation array from these abandoned pavilions. However, these buildings had been weathered by endless years, and any trace of the former inhabitants had long been erased.

"XX Hall?"

Chen Jiancang looked at the already mottled and decayed plaque and shook his head helplessly.

He walked around but found nothing in these ruins. It was clear that even if there were any remnants, He Xiao, who was the first to enter this place, and the Revered Master he mentioned, had probably already plundered everything here.

"Crunch~"

Just at this moment, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from under Chen Jiancang's feet.

Chen Jiancang quickly looked down and saw that under his feet was a decayed skeleton covered in dust.

There were still some tattered fragments on the skeleton. The storage bag hanging at the skeleton's waist had already turned into dust.

"So decayed, how many years has this place been in decline?" Chen Jiancang was filled with doubts.

After all, according to the historical records of the Qingya Mountain Range he had read, there had never been any mention of the existence of a transcendent force here.

When the Chen Family was first established in the Qingya Mountain Range, it was seized from a Family whose Golden Core Cultivator had just perished. And before that, it was the same.

The cycle of Family rise and fall, after all, cannot escape a loop, repeating endlessly. You seize mine, I seize his. Those texts that might have recorded the distant history of the Qingya Mountain Range have probably long since been lost amidst the rise and fall of families.

"Eh, what's this?"

Just as Chen Jiancang was about to turn and leave, he suddenly saw a grayish-brown circular ring among the skeleton he had stepped on and broken.

Chen Jiancang quickly picked up the ring and examined it carefully, finding nothing unusual.

Chen Jiancang frowned slightly. After thinking carefully, he cut his finger and dripped blood onto the grayish-brown ring.

The blood was instantly absorbed by the ring.

"This... This is actually a storage artifact!!!"

Chen Jiancang's eyes instantly widened. He had only wanted to test it with blood, but he hadn't expected that this item's function was the same as a storage bag; it was actually a Sumeru Mustard Seed storage artifact.

You should know that in the cultivation world, the most common storage artifact is the storage bag. As for other shapes of storage artifacts, Chen Jiancang had never seen them. This ring was the first time he had seen one.

"Old Ancestor, there's a discovery here!"

Chen Jiancang would not keep this ring for himself and quickly shouted to Chen Qingyuan, who was studying the teleportation array.

"What did you find?" Chen Qingyuan instantly arrived beside Chen Jiancang.

After all, when he first came in just now, he had already carefully explored this place and hadn't found anything useful.

But at this moment, Chen Jiancang said he had a new discovery, which made him incredibly curious.
