The duo walked deeper inside the cave carefully. They held their swords and were ready to attack any beast lingering inside the cave. Bo Qingtan sighed and said, "When I was fighting earlier, I did not think that Ace would fight so many people on his own."
Yun Xue nodded and said, "He is indeed stronger than us."
When she spoke, there was a scent of reverence in her voice. Bo Qingtan gazed at her and said, "You know he has a wife already, right?"
Yun Xue glared at him and said, "Once his wife ascended, I will have a heart-to-heart with her."
The young man was shocked and said, "Are you serious about this? Feiry Yun, people might chase after him with bloody swords if they got a whiff of this."
Yun Xue rolled her eyes and said, "Daost Bo, it would be nice if you could keep things to yourself because neither I nor Ace is a loose-lipped person. If the people found him, I will find you, and then I will beat the shit out of you."
Bo Qingtan could not help but shiver at this. He did not understand why Yun Xue favored Shi Lang so much, but he did not have the right to dig deeper. The young man sighed and nodded and said, "If only I can find someone to love me like this too."
Yun Xue chuckled and said, "I heard from the master of the Dragon Sword Sect that if anyone is to marry before they reach the Immortal King realm, he will castrate them. Are you sure you wish to find a girl and not increase your realm quickly?"
Bo Qingtan shivered and said, "Yes, I understand, Fairy Yun."
The lady chuckled as she led the way. After walking for a few thousand meters, they reached the cave's depths, and Bo Qingtan asked, "Do you also feel this?"
Yun Xue nodded solemnly and said, "I do not understand where this energy comes from?"
Bo Qingtan covered the stone wall before him with his spirit sense and said, "I cannot find anything."
Yun Xue cast the same method and shrugged as well. The two of them were confused when Raksha appeared beside them, and they were shocked. They knew this senior was strong but could not even sense her movement. The sword spirit remarked, "Oh, you kids found something nice."
Bo Qingtan asked, "Senior, what is it?"
The lady smiled and said, "You have stumbled upon a dragon vine."
The two heard these words and were shocked. They wanted to ask Raksha more when the sword spirit muttered, "Hmm, no wonder that demonic beast was staying here. IT was converting the spirit energy slowly into demonic energy to heal itself."
She did not realize the shock her words caused the two people. The next moment, she vanished from her spot, and when she reappeared again, she had Shi Lang standing beside her. She said, "Xiao Lang, go break this wall, and you will find a dragon vein."
Bo Qingtan and Yun Xue looked at him with sparkly eyes, and Shi Lang spoke with disdain, "Have you lost your mind, dumbass? What about the spirit energy that will leak from the vein? It will attract more trouble for us."
Raksha said, "Are you afraid of a few losers? Just kill them and take this."
Shi Lang said, "Do you want to go back inside?"
Raksha was shocked and quickly shook her head. Shi Lang said, "Then put a fucking leash on your battle urges. I swear I will hand you over to that old foggy, and he will walk around with you on his waist and make you a trophy."
The sword spirit clenched her fist and said, "You dare to say that? I will beat you up along with that old saggy bag of bones."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Focus on him. Let me deal with this dragon vein."
Raksha stood behind him with her hands crossed before her chest. Shi Lang walked forward and reached out his hand to caress the stone wall before he began to contemplate. After thinking briefly, he said, "In one of the books, it said that if a person can refine the dragon vein, they will be able to manipulate it?"
Yun Xue nodded and said, "But for that, you must contact the dragon vein first."
Shi Lang nodded, placed his hand over the wall surface, and said, "Raksha, watch and learn."
The lady snorted, and his hands began to tremble. The speed of Shi Lang's vibration from his hands was so high that his palms turned into a blur. The young man did not say much, and suddenly, lightning was issued from his fingers. The sparks of lightning lingered over the wall surface.
Bo Qingtan asked, "What are you doing?"
Shi Lang did not say anything but kept on doing what he was, and the lightning discharge increased even more. Yun Xue exclaimed, "Look at the ground."
They looked down and found dust had accumulated on the floor, and Shi Lang's ankles were covered. The two people realized what Shi Lang was doing. Raksha exclaimed, "Oh, I did not expect that General Lang was an Ace miner also. If the people in the federation got to know, they might go crazy."
Shi Lang chuckled lightly as he continued his work, and more dust accumulated at his feet. Suddenly, he stopped and knocked on the wall with his knuckle, and the wall crumbled at his feet, revealing a dragon vein.
The terran said, "This thing looks like an overgrown worm to me from the outside."
Dragon veins are formed when the cavities in a structure like a mountain accumulate spirit energy and get trapped inside. Gradually, over millions of years, these cavities' stone walls become a substance similar to flesh skin. So, when discovered, they did look like oversized worms.
Shi Lang said, "Brother Wood, you should refine this vein."
This shocked both the youngsters, and Shi Lang said, "What are you thinking about, I am not sacrificing anything. I will tell you later. Just do as I ask you, please."
