Chapter 533: Dragon Vein

"Big Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Tiger, why have you returned?"

"Mr. Li."

Huyuan Ku, the fifth son of Yuan Dingting, looked at the group standing at the door and widened his eyes.

They had not seen each other for nearly ten years.

How could they not be excited?

"Fifth Brother, if you want to cry, just cry; it's not shameful."

Yuan An said with a grin.

"Get lost."

Huyuan Ku scolded with a smile.

Then he pulled his eldest brother Meng Chong and Li Rui toward the backyard.

Before long.

The group saw Yuan Dingting practicing his spear in the courtyard, and his wife, Cui Chuxue, on the side.

"Father, Mother."

Yuan An called out first.

Cui Chuxue looked at the group, especially Yuan An, who had grown into an adult, and her eyes were full of joy: "Little Tiger, you are all back."

Li Rui smiled and cupped his hands:

"Marquis, Madam."

Yuan Dingting also put down the long spear in his hand at this time, showing a rare smile: "You are back."

Finally.

The others went to the side courtyard, leaving only Li Rui and Meng Chong in the courtyard.

Meng Chong: "Foster Father, a dragon vein has appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains; the Holy Emperor specifically ordered the Imperial Preceptor, Brother Li, and me to come and investigate."

He did not hide anything from Yuan Dingting.

Or rather.

The Holy Emperor chose to let him go south together, so he did not intend to hide it from Yuan Dingting; in fact, Yuan Dingting was originally a backup move arranged by the Holy Emperor regarding the dragon vein.

Only after Li Rui went to the capital did he discover.

The relationship between the Holy Emperor and this Martial Saint before him did not seem as tense as outsiders speculated, and even the Holy Emperor's trust in Yuan Dingting was still above others.

Yuan Dingting was not surprised in the slightest.

As a First-Rank expert, that dragon vein was actually discovered by him first.

It was just giving the Provincial Governor a favor.

Yuan Dingting said lightly: "According to the records from the time of the Taizu Emperor, places with dragon veins are often accompanied by dragon-kin. Taiheng Mountain once had a great dragon coiled there, which was slain by the Taizu Emperor. The Ten Thousand Mountains hide an old dragon about to enter the First Rank, and two Third-Rank dragons; the dragon *qi* is prosperous, so it is reasonable for a dragon vein to appear."

Li Rui blinked his eyes.

He couldn't help but associate this with the dragon-slaying matter from back then.

It was possible that Yuan Dingting was already planning the dragon vein matter back then.

Seeming to see what Li Rui was thinking.

Yuan Dingting gave the answer directly: "It's not as mysterious as you think. In fact, when I slew that great dragon back then, I was just guessing; I didn't expect it to be true."

"In the matter of dragon veins, I am indeed not as good as the Imperial Preceptor."

Yuan Dingting said frankly.

As the saying goes, there is a specialty in every trade.

In the matter of leading troops and fighting, he dared to say he was unparalleled under heaven, but in the matter of seeking dragons and pointing out acupoints, the Imperial Preceptor was the first-class in the world.

Everyone knew.

The Imperial Preceptor was the leader of the dragon-seekers of the world, and even the position of Imperial Preceptor was born for dragon-seeking during the Taizu Emperor's time.

Li Rui: "Marquis, what do you think of this matter?"

This time returning to Yunzhou.

The first person he sought out was Yuan Dingting.

Not only to let Yuan An come back to see and connect feelings, but also because he wanted to get Yuan Dingting's guidance.

As a First-Ranker, and having stayed in Yunzhou for decades.

The news Yuan Dingting could get was definitely more than his.

Sometimes, one piece of news can save a life.

Yuan Dingting pondered: "In the matter of the dragon vein, I am also looking at flowers in the fog. You two just need to assist the Imperial Preceptor in his actions; if the Imperial Preceptor uses you two as stones to test the path... you can refuse, and I will write a letter to explain to the Holy Emperor."

Hearing this.

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He had long heard that Yuan Dingting was protective of his own people when leading troops, and now seeing it, it was indeed so.

Li Rui had a very good relationship with Gu Changsheng.

But Gu Changsheng and the Imperial Preceptor were leaders of two different factions.

It was possible that he would find trouble for Li Rui in the matter of dragon-seeking.

Although the Imperial Preceptor's heart might not be so narrow, with Yuan Dingting's words, Li Rui and Meng Chong could act more freely.

"Thank you, Marquis."

Li Rui smiled and cupped his hands.

Yuan Dingting waved his hand: "We are all family; no need to say these things."

Chatting and chatting.

Yuan Dingting suddenly sighed: "Speaking of which, the person I admire most in my life is your Master's Master. We martial artists should be like this, and now he has broken through to the First Rank, ranking among the Heavenly Humans."

Mentioning Gao Tianxia, even a talented and brilliant figure like Yuan Dingting could not help but be envious.

Li Rui murmured:

"Heavenly Human..."

The number one person in ten thousand years, how could one not be envious?

This *jianghu* could still have some brilliance, wasn't it because the East Sea City was still number one under heaven?

The next day.

Li Rui and his group left Yunzhou and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Soon.

The group appeared in the Qinghe Enclosure under the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Seeking dragons and pointing out acupoints could not be completed in a day or two.

Living in Qinghe.

It was inevitable that people would gossip, so Li Rui chose the Qinghe Enclosure as the place for everyone to stay.

This was built for the Annan Marquis Yuan Dingting's autumn hunt back then.

Although the location of the autumn hunt had changed several times over the years, the Qinghe Enclosure had always been preserved.

Even the mountain scenery was right in front of his eyes, even more comfortable than the big mansion in Qinghe.

According to Li Rui's words.

On a business trip, one cannot treat the brothers badly.

Everyone had a place to stay.

Li Rui then led the three dragon-seeking scholars into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Looking at the compass engraved with the twenty-eight constellations in Fu Wei's hand.

"Technical work."

Ever since entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, Fu Wei and the three had been using secret methods to urge the magic treasure compass; according to them, they were fixing the dragon's head.

There is an ancient book that says, "Seeking the dragon's head is important for the ancestral mountain."

Seeking a dragon vein is not just as simple as seeking.

In fact, the most important thing is fixing.

A dragon vein is formless, wandering everywhere; if you want the dragon vein to truly exert its effect, you must have a dragon-seeking scholar fix the dragon vein.

And fixing the dragon's head is the first step.

Fu Wei and the three were just determining the dragon's head first, and then they would need the Imperial Preceptor to make a move personally to truly fix the dragon's head.

Once the dragon's head is fixed, the dragon vein is mostly fixed.

Fu Wei pointed to a giant peak five *li* away.

That giant peak abruptly gave birth to a branch, and nine symmetrical branches grew on both sides.

"Lord Li, the dragon walks and opens a tent, there must be noble *qi*. The scene before us is exactly the trend of the True Dragon passing the gorge mentioned in the dragon-seeking book. It is worthy of being a place with a dragon vein; it is truly extraordinary."

Li Rui understood only half of what he heard.

However, he could indeed feel that the spiritual energy of that giant peak was more abundant than elsewhere.

Meng Chong, Nie Siming, and the others were also listening with novelty.

Once in the mountain, Fu Wei became exceptionally excited, and his words increased a lot; he continued: "This is the place where the True Dragon passes through; just follow the dragon's traces, and you will definitely find the dragon's head."

He only felt that he was incomparably lucky.

Originally, these dragon-seekers were in a situation where they almost had the art of dragon-slaying but nowhere to use it, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a major event as pointing out a dragon vein while he was alive.

Compared to those predecessors who practiced hard for a lifetime but had nowhere to display it, they were undoubtedly lucky.

By comparison.

The others were much calmer.

Li Rui was originally looking in the direction Fu Wei pointed.

Suddenly, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Just see.

In a very secret corner of that mountain peak, a slightly chubby Daoist was walking flexibly between the mountains.

It was precisely Wu De, who called himself the Daoist of Many Treasures.
