Chapter 762: Chapter 541: Golden Branches_3

The spirit vein suddenly trembled!

Lu Qian had already prepared himself, his Divine Sense surging like a tide to carefully probe and perceive. At this moment, he astonishingly realized that these Golden Branches had truly entered the spirit vein!

How could this be possible?!

The spirit vein was originally non-physical, its external appearance merely an illusion. No matter how a cultivator attacks or touches it, the image of the spirit vein disperses and then coalesces, completely unaffected.

But now, the Golden Branches not only "touched" the spirit vein but also "connected" with it!

Lu Qian stood up in shock, using all his Divine Sense to carefully fathom and feel.

His face showed uncertainty, and an unparalleled excitement slowly surged in his heart. To touch the spirit vein meant he had already touched the essence of it, something that only Void Refining True Monarchs could glimpse as a secret!

Golden Branches began to directly absorb powers from the spirit vein, causing the Spiritual Qi on Lanshan Island to plummet instantaneously, and the Pearl Spirit opened its eyes in surprise.

What kind of mischief is Lu Qian up to again?

Just see these Golden Branches with three forks and nine leaves fully stretching out, the branches shimmering with golden light, dazzling far more than before. In Lu Qian’s perception, the manifestation of Golden Branches was—

They are growing!

Although such growth was nearly imperceptible, difficult to determine, Lu Qian had such insights and speculations that now, as Golden Branches linked with the spirit vein, it’s akin to plants rooting in the soil, given enough time, they would surely grow slowly and sprout new buds!

Lu Qian was almost about to jump up. He circled around the Golden Branches several times, gazing intently at the marvelous changes here, with numerous conjectures and questions rising in his heart.

Why could Golden Branches link with the spirit vein and begin to grow?

What Golden Branches absorbed from the spirit vein was certainly not Spiritual Qi! Because to absorb Spiritual Qi, it could be absorbed directly from outside the spirit vein, completely unnecessary to penetrate into the spirit vein.

So what is it absorbing, relying on to grow?

Since Lu Qian hadn’t contacted the spirit vein of Minglong Mountain these days, he was unable to determine whether it was the spirit vein on Lanshan Island that was special or whether this kind of change could occur with all spirit veins.

What is the essence of the spirit vein? How does it produce an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Qi? Why are there changes such as promotion, demotion, and destruction?

...

Lu Qian felt he was continually approaching the truth, yet everything remained out of reach. He was so excited that his whole body trembled; this should belong to the grand secrets above Void Refining True Monarchs!

Ah! If only the Life and Death Celestial Monarch could explain, how great it would be!

Riddles are so damnable!

Having observed for over an hour, no other changes transpired. The Golden Branches simply stretched silently within the spirit vein, unknown what nutrients they were absorbing.

Time was pressing, Lu Qian couldn’t afford to linger here any longer, having to record all questions before gritting his teeth and probing toward Golden Branches.

These secrets would only slowly be explored within future investigations. If merely the spirit vein on Lanshan Island was peculiar, then it would have to be acquired through the Danxia Sect later.

Lu Qian was especially mindful, before reclaiming the Golden Branches, he attempted to touch the spirit vein, but alas, the spirit vein was still like a dream bubble, untouchable.

It seemed only the Golden Branches could touch the spirit vein.

With a regretful sigh, Lu Qian had to retrieve the Golden Branches.

Just at the moment when Golden Branches separated from the spirit vein, the spirit vein trembled once more.

Lu Qian abruptly widened his eyes.

In his perception, the Spiritual Energy amount of this spirit vein unexpectedly increased imperceptibly by a fraction!

But this spirit vein also added a trace of decay.
