"Don't say that there's a dragon in the high mountains, but it's lost on the flat ground."
These two lines were from the Tang Dynasty's Fengshui master, Yang Yunsong's' Shocking Dragon Scripture '. It meant that a true dragon didn't necessarily live in the high mountains. It could appear on the flat ground.
Originally, it was meant to explain the Fengshui of the plain. However, it was suitable for this small hill in front of us.
After Director Song Xing entered the cave, we hurried to follow him into the cave.
At first, I thought that the Metaphysics Society would send a lot of people to guard the true dragon's vein. However, no one came out of the cave.
It was strange. From the moment we had arrived until now, only Director Song Xing had been leading the team. The true dragon's vein, which was very important to the Metaphysics Society, didn't look like anyone was guarding it.
Was it because they were worried that people would suspect something? That's why they had set up such a strict guard method?
I thought about it. I didn't think it was like that. After all, there was a big manor not far from here. Even if they wanted to hide it, they wouldn't be able to do so. Most likely, there were some hidden mechanisms nearby that I couldn't see. The people in charge of guarding the true dragon's vein should be hiding in those places.
At first, there was nothing strange about the cave. It was dark and narrow. After we entered the cave, Director Song Xing held two torches in his hands. He gave one to me and led the way.
I held the torch and followed Director Song Xing. At the same time, I carefully observed the mountain walls around us.
Although I could feel the thick aura of the dragon's vein, the mountain walls around us were bare. I didn't see anything strange.
After walking for almost half an hour, the mountain walls twisted and turned. Under the interference of the thick aura of the dragon's vein, I had lost my sense of direction.
However, right at this moment, a light moved in front of us. Even under the light of the torches, it still shone brightly in front of us.
Director Song Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks.
We've arrived?
The crowd, who had been silent all along the way, suddenly raised their heads and looked at Director Song Xing, who was walking at the front with burning eyes.
Everyone's heart was beating like a drum. I opened my mouth and wanted to ask, but I couldn't make a sound.
All of a sudden, Director Song Xing threw the torch in his hand to the ground. He gently stepped on the torch to extinguish it. Then, he turned to me and asked me to extinguish the torch as well.
After I extinguished the torch, the surroundings didn't turn dark. Instead, there was a faint layer of light.
This kind of light was like fluorescent light. It could barely illuminate the path ahead. However, when I lifted my head to look ahead, I saw a stone wall that looked like a full moon.
Director Song Xing didn't say anything. He just led us to walk in that direction.
As we got closer, the brilliance of the stone wall became even brighter, illuminating our surroundings. When we were only a few meters away from the stone wall, I discovered that there was a small crack in the rock beside the stone wall.
The light on the stone wall did not come from the stone wall itself. Instead, it came from the crack in the rock. Moreover, every once in a while, an unusually bright brilliance would burst out from that crack, and then slowly dim.
Earlier, when we were holding the torches, the bright light came from here.
After taking a few more steps forward, Director Song Xing walked to the crack and stopped. He turned to me and said, "Zhou Yi, take them in from here. Inside is the True Dragon Vein. You have a whole day. At midnight, I will call you out here."
I was stunned. "Director Song Xing, you're not going in?"
Song Xing looked at me with envy in his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he shook his head and smiled wryly. "The people of the Metaphysics Society only have one chance to enter. I can't go in. I can only stay here to protect you."
The true dragon vein's biggest function was to replenish one's Dao energy. In fact, even after reaching the Acupuncture Point Realm, the true dragon vein was still very useful to Feng Shui masters. Even Feng Shui masters at the Heaven Master Realm desired the true dragon vein.
That was why Song Xing looked envious. However, the entire Metaphysics Society relied on the true dragon vein. After all these years, the true dragon vein's burden must have been very heavy. Otherwise, the Metaphysics Society wouldn't only open it once every three years.
It was probably because of this reason that the Metaphysics Society strictly restricted others from absorbing the dragon vein's Qi. Only Feng Shui masters at the Dragon Seeking Realm were allowed to use it.
I nodded at Song Xing. Then, I turned to look at the others. I took a deep breath and said, "Follow me … Let's go in!"
Then, I took the lead and stepped into the crack in the rock.
As soon as I entered, a bright light shone at me. I couldn't help but squint my eyes.
After the light disappeared, I saw that the situation in front of me was completely different from the cave outside. It was an extremely spacious mountain belly. It looked like a huge mountain that had been hollowed out.
From the small hill outside, I couldn't tell that there was such a world inside.
And in the middle of this huge mountain, there was a dragon lying on the ground!
That's right, it was a dragon!
Its entire body emitted a bright white light that was much brighter than the moonlight of a full moon. Every once in a while, the two huge eyes on the dragon's head would open and close. The light that shone on our bodies outside the crack was the light of the dragon's eyes!
Seeing this scene, everyone who came in was stunned on the spot, almost unable to believe their eyes.
After a long while, I woke up from my absent-mindedness and walked towards the crouching giant dragon.
When I got closer, I could see that it wasn't a living dragon. It was more like a huge stone dragon sculpture.
However, the stone dragon sculpture was covered with a thick layer of white light. I couldn't see what the dragon's body was. I could only feel that it was made of stone.
As for the thick layer of light outside, it was the endless dragon vein energy.
Dragon vein energy was colorless and formless, just like air. However, the dragon vein energy here actually formed such a bright white light. It showed how thick it was.
Moreover, this was the True Dragon Vein that had already been absorbed by dozens of people from the Metaphysics branch. It was hard to imagine what the True Dragon formed by the pure Dragon Vein Qi looked like when Han Wennan and the others first came in.
As expected of the true dragon vein!
The most mysterious place was the dragon's mouth at the front of the dragon's vein. There was a small ball of milky white liquid floating in the air. It was at least ten meters away from us, but we didn't know what it was.
At this moment, I had calmed down. I wasn't mesmerized by the true dragon vein in front of me anymore. I called for the others and arranged for them to sit down. I told them to quickly absorb the dragon vein energy.
We only had one day, or rather, half a day. It was already noon and the night was about to end.
Everyone's dreams, whether they would come true or wither, would be decided by this half a day.
No one dared to waste time. After sitting down around the true dragon vein, everyone held their breaths and started to absorb the dragon vein energy.
I did the same. After sitting down below the dragon's neck, I slowly adjusted my breathing. After my breathing stabilized, I started to move the Dao Qi in my body to gather at the first pillar of Dao Qi. Then, I started to absorb the extremely thick dragon vein energy around me.
The extremely pure dragon vein energy was quickly absorbed into my body. In an instant, it was turned into extremely thick Dao Qi.
No wonder Han Wennan and the others still wanted to come here even though their Qi of the Way had already reached the Qi Gathering Pillar Realm. The pure Qi of the Dragon Vein here was definitely much richer and purer than the Qi of the Way that I had converted from the Qi of the Dragon Vein on the Stone of Mount Tai. Needless to say, its power was definitely much greater.
They probably wanted to turn the Dao Qi in their bodies into the purest power.
As I absorbed, my body and mind completely calmed down. I was immersed in an extremely mysterious realm. The Dao Qi in my body was rapidly increasing.
However, at this moment, the jade bracelet that was hanging on my chest suddenly broke free from my clothes. After it slowly floated into the air, it suddenly charged towards the true dragon vein like a wild horse. Its strength was so great that it even broke the rope that was hanging on my neck.
Instantly, I woke up from that mysterious state. I looked at the jade bracelet in shock as it charged towards the true dragon vein. Then, it stuck to it and didn't move.
At the same time, the thick dragon vein energy on the true dragon vein crazily surged towards the jade bracelet!
The jade bracelet … was actually absorbing the dragon vein energy!
Instantly, I thought back to when I was at the Shenzhen Metaphysics Association. When I faced the Mount Tai Stone, the jade bracelet also crazily absorbed all the dragon vein energy on it. Looking at its crazed expression, could it be that this time, it wanted to absorb all the dragon vein energy from the true dragon vein?
