In the days after returning from Yunyang Marketplace, Li Yuan mined once a day.
Sometimes I just go and sit cross-legged in the cavity for half an hour, sometimes I walk slowly along several branch roads and look at Backflow and the nodes in more detail.
Mineral Vein Dao The more stable it is, the more obvious the spiritual energy veins hidden deeper will be.
It is no longer just an outline of something that seems to exist.
But it is indeed there.
It was buried very deep, and it was blocked by something, so I couldn't see it completely, but I could already feel its size and heaviness. Compared with the Spirit Vein Branch previously found in the underground Dissolution Layer, this vein hidden deeper was much larger and more complete.
After another three days, Fiend Vein gradually expanded, and the perception was finally clear enough.
This time Li Yuan no longer relied solely on maps and intuition, but went through all the previously noted Earth Vein Backflow, branch fracture locations, Ruins directions, and the location of the remaining spiritual vein Dissolution Layer underground last time.
A line slowly formed in my mind.
Li Yuan chose a night to set out.
Pulse-Probing Technique, spiritual consciousness, and Fiend Vein perception are used in turn. When encountering a suspected hole, stop and confirm again and again.
Finally, Li Yuan stopped at the entrance of a cave.
Combining the abnormal Backflow and Pulse-Probing Technique results reported by Fiend Vein, he finally determined that the entrance was here.
The first half of the route is similar to the last time we went underground Dissolution Layer. Once we actually cross the collapsed stone layer and go deeper, the road changes.
Li Yuan groped all the way in and walked for most of the night before finally stopping behind a low rock formation.
There is no road ahead.
At least not on the surface.
But in Fiend Vein's perception, the outline of Spiritual Power Main Meridian was behind it, and it was much clearer than before.
Li Yuan squatted down, pressed his fingertips on the edge of the rock formation, and Pulse-Probing Technique moved it in little by little. After a moment, he raised his hand and rolled it, and Earth Manipulation Art cut in along an inconspicuous loose layer on the side.
The earth and rocks slid apart silently.
A narrow gap is exposed at the back, allowing only one person to pass sideways.
The spiritual power is faintly revealed from here.
Li Yuan didn't hesitate, collected his breath and got in.
Behind the narrow gap, there is actually a deeper and quieter underground space than the last time Dissolution Layer. It is not very wide, like a flattened stone belly. Occasionally, a faint spiritual light can be seen passing by on the surrounding gray and white stone walls. The further in, the purer and thicker the spiritual power becomes.
After walking a few dozen feet, our eyes finally opened up.
Li Yuan stopped and stared slightly.
He saw the main vein.
Not all of it, just a section of the edge of the main vein that was exposed. But even this section was several times larger than the branch vein that I had seen before. The spiritual energy no longer seeped out like thin threads, but was pressed heavily between the stone layer and the ground, like a huge but silently flowing underground river.
This is part of the main vein of Large Spirit Vein.
Li Yuan did not approach immediately, but looked around first.
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
The area near the main vein is not clean.
The first strange thing is that there are several small branch veins branching off from the edge of the main vein. Those branch veins should have pure spiritual energy, but there are very faint traces of demonic energy remaining on two of the edges.
The demonic aura is not heavy, and the age is not particularly new, but it is definitely not a natural formation.
People from Dark Abyss Society, or Demon Sect, have indeed been here.
The second difference is that I strongly recommend <Cultivation of Immortality: I Can Solidify Equipment Attributes>! Click to go directly to the story world. It is even more troublesome.
There are restrictions hidden at several locations where the branch veins connect with the main vein.
It's not something that is obvious outside, but hidden in the stone layer and spiritual power flow. If it weren't for Li Yuan, now Array Dao has reached Major Accomplishment, and there are Spirit Pattern Analysis and clearer spiritual consciousness, most of these things will just be felt as natural barriers of the strata when they are swept past.
But now if you look carefully, you can see something is wrong.
These restrictions are artificially added, and the number of lines is very similar to the old restrictions deep in Ruins.
Li Yuan squatted down and looked carefully at the edge of one of the branches for a moment, his expression gradually darkened.
This ban is not simply a road closure.
To be more precise, it is one-way.
If people outside find the right path, they can follow certain branch veins to enter. However, once they stand inside the branch veins and try to find the main vein through perception, they will be restricted and cut off the spiritual feedback and perception.
It is possible to enter the branch veins, but it is difficult to infer the main vein from the branch veins.
This explains a lot of things.
Li Yuan was in no hurry to dismantle it.
This is not the kind of place where the outer layer of Ruins can be torn down and slowly repaired. The main vein is right in front of you, and the branch veins, restrictions, faults and deeper areas are all intertwined. No one can tell what chain reactions will occur if you move a little.
He continued to move slowly along the edge.
When we walked deeper, Li Yuan saw the third layer of anomalies.
Above the main vein, there are also restrictions.
This layer is more hidden and larger. It is not sealed on the mouth of a certain branch vein, but is like a net pressing on the entire main vein. It is not usually visible, and only when the consciousness and Spirit Pattern Analysis are pressed together, a little pattern will be revealed.
It is not used to block people, but more like it is blocking, isolating, or even cutting off the outside world from exploring the true flow and scale of the main vein.
Li Yuan stood there and watched for a long time without making any rash move.
At this point, the situation is completely clear.
Large Spirit Vein main vein is here.
People at Dark Abyss Society and Demon Sect have at least touched the edge, and even entered and exited along the branch veins several times, but obviously they haven't really understood it yet. Otherwise, they would not have bought equipment to detect spiritual energy, nor would they still be testing Earth Vein and Ruins Deep Layer.
The reason why this main vein has been hidden is not only because of the complex terrain and faults, but also because it has been sealed layer by layer by old restrictions.
Li Yuan also noted down the surrounding branches and restricted locations.
Combining the previously found branch fractures, Mineral Vein Dao anomalies Backflow, Ruins directions, and the exposed position of the main vein in front of him, the entire underground spiritual vein finally closed into a complete outline in his perception.
[The spiritual veins have reached the complete detection conditions]
[Equipable object detected: Large Spirit Vein (complete)]
[Special Equipment Affix preview: Spirit Vein Spirit Accumulation (purple)]
[Effect: Increase the quality of spiritual power by 50%; spiritual power can be automatically restored at a recovery speed of 30% of active recovery, which can be superimposed with active recovery; it can be practiced automatically, with a cultivation speed of 50% of normal, and can be superimposed with normal training]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Break through Large Spirit Vein to the Golden Core Realm, or cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm]
[Tip: Need to equip to Special Equipment Slot]
Li Yuan's eyes narrowed.
This shows that in this circle just now, I not only saw the main vein, but also figured out a critical part of the entire spiritual vein in terms of special equipment judgment. At least for Panel, this is considered a complete discovery.
