Chapter 200 – Somebody is pretending


The Wan Hua Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles.

The spiritual energy is dense, with spiritual trees and medicinal herbs everywhere.

The highest peak reaches into the clouds, shrouded in mist, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

A few days ago, a sealed barrier automatically opened, revealing the Wan Hua Mountain Range to everyone. Upon investigation, this area was found to be rich in resources, with possibly no less than ten top-grade spirit veins, along with various rare high-quality spiritual herbs and minerals.

“It seems quite a few people have already gotten a head start.”

Chen Qingyuan arrived at the Wan Hua Mountain Range and saw some footprints left by others, frowning slightly.

This mountain range has special laws, making it difficult for divine sense to explore far distances. One needs to observe closely at a short range to capture traces of resources.

“Let’s split up and cover more ground.”

Chen Qingyuan suggested.

Traveling together would make it hard to divide any fortunes they might find. Besides, many Heaven’s Pride had already arrived at the Wan Hua Mountain Range, and resources were gradually decreasing. Time was pressing, and they needed to act quickly.

“Senior Brother, I’ll follow you!” Song Ningyan wasn’t familiar with the others.

“Alright.” Chen Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

“I’m used to being alone.”

Seemingly afraid of being entangled by Zhangsun Qian, Wu Junyan left a sentence and ventured deeper into the mountains without hesitation.

Thus, the group split into four small teams.

Chen Qingyuan and Song Ningyan, Zhangsun Fengye and Zhangsun Qian, Wu Junyan, and Daochen Buddha’s child.

Presumably, this mountain range wouldn’t be too dangerous, so Daochen Buddha’s child didn’t follow Chen Qingyuan closely. Besides, if trouble did arise, they could quickly support each other over the distance of tens of thousands of miles.

“Senior Brother, which direction should we go?”

Most of the Wan Hua Mountain Range was covered in thick fog, making the range of divine sense exploration very small, and even the naked eye couldn’t see far.

Even with eye techniques, it was impossible to see through the eerie mist.

“North.”

Chen Qingyuan picked up a tree branch and casually threw it. Seeing the direction the end of the branch pointed, he started walking.

“Senior Brother, isn’t this a bit too hasty?”

Seeing this, Song Ningyan felt slightly uneasy.

“When did you become so timid? If you’re scared, you can stay here and wait.”

Chen Qingyuan deliberately provoked her.

“Who’s scared? I’m just being cautious.”

Song Ningyan glared at him.

“Stop wasting time, let’s get moving!”

In a trance, Chen Qingyuan saw numerous resources beckoning to him and quickened his pace.

The thick white fog added a touch of mystery to the Wan Hua Mountain Range.

Although Chen Qingyuan loved wealth, he was cautious and didn’t dare to be careless.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Qingyuan discovered a high-quality Blue Saliva Grass under a large tree tens of meters high.

Swish!

Reaching out, he grabbed the Blue Saliva Grass and stored it in his Xumi Ring.

After a few more steps, he found a fist-sized Golden Flame Stone and quickly put it away. This was an extremely precious mineral, an excellent material for crafting sacred artifacts, and could be exchanged for a large number of spirit stones at various trading houses.

“The market price is at least three thousand high-quality spirit stones!”

Chen Qingyuan was overjoyed and continued searching.

“What a large patch of Spirit Nourishing Grass.”

Spirit Nourishing Grass was a relatively common spiritual item, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to develop a trace of spirituality. This thing was very common and not very useful for cultivators who had reached the Golden Elixir Realm.

“Better than nothing, I’ll take it all.”

Chen Qingyuan didn’t care about these things; even a small mosquito is still meat.

Song Ningyan followed Chen Qingyuan all the way, but her eyesight and speed were not as good as Chen Qingyuan’s, and she had found nothing so far.

However, Song Ningyan didn’t care much about these resources. Watching Chen Qingyuan’s busy figure was quite amusing.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Song Family of the Ancient Clan, pampered and well-fed since childhood. A single word from her could bring countless resources, unlike Chen Qingyuan, who came from the Mystic Azure Sect and had to obtain everything himself.

“Senior Brother, there are some more over there.”

Song Ningyan directed, standing still.

“Alright.” Chen Qingyuan turned his head and saw hundreds of Spirit Nourishing Grass in the corner, quickly heading over.

After half an hour of busy work, Chen Qingyuan had scoured the resources within a radius of tens of miles.

“It looks like there’s a fight over there.”

Just as he finished, a rather intense battle fluctuation came from the northwest.

“Let’s go join the fun.”

With that, Chen Qingyuan cautiously approached the direction of the residual energy.

A fight between cultivators was bound to involve extraordinary treasures or resources.

In such a situation, Chen Qingyuan naturally wanted to find an opportunity to get involved.

Heavenly spiritual items are obtained by those with fortune.

“I am that fortunate one.”

Chen Qingyuan thought, looking forward to a fruitful journey in the Wan Hua Mountain Range.

A valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Due to the special nature of this place, there was only one entrance.

There seemed to be a strange prohibition above the valley. Chen Qingyuan didn’t want to touch the unknown prohibition laws to avoid trouble. Therefore, he and Song Ningyan found the entrance.

“Junior Sister Song, you stay outside and wait. I’ll go in alone to take a look. If there’s trouble, I can retreat easily.”

Chen Qingyuan said.

“Alright, be careful.”

Song Ningyan nodded solemnly.

Thus, Chen Qingyuan used a concealment technique from the Academy to hide his aura and sneaked in.

“Boom——”

The sound of battle was intense, shattering many large rocks in the valley, with dust and smoke flying everywhere.

There were more than twenty people on both sides, fighting fiercely for resources.

Fortunately, the ground of the Wan Hua Mountain Range was quite hard; otherwise, the valley would not have been able to withstand the pressure of the battle and would have collapsed long ago.

“The fluctuation of a spirit vein.”

Chen Qingyuan hid in a corner of the valley, not revealing his presence.

Upon careful investigation, he found a crack in the center of the valley, with dense spiritual energy emanating from it.

Using some small techniques, Chen Qingyuan confirmed that there was a spirit vein at the bottom of the valley, no wonder it caused a dispute.

“Wait a bit longer.”

Chen Qingyuan wasn’t in a hurry and continued to hide in the dark, waiting for the right moment.

The cultivators on both sides were fighting fiercely, and the location was too close to the valley’s crack, making it difficult to act.

After a stick of incense, the battle moved to the sky above the valley, and many people were already seriously injured.

“The opportunity has come.”

Chen Qingyuan was ready, seizing the moment, mobilizing all his spiritual energy, and quickly rushing into the crack.

Entering the crack, he indeed found a top-grade spirit vein coiled like a dragon, emitting white and blue light, with pure spiritual energy rushing towards him.

His eyes lit up, filled with excitement.

Then, Chen Qingyuan took out the Yulan Sword and slashed with all his might at the head and tail of the spirit vein.

“Boom!”

The ground crackled, immediately attracting the attention of the Heaven’s Pride who were fighting.

“Not good, someone is scheming in the dark!”

They stopped fighting and focused on the spirit vein, their faces growing uglier by the second.
