Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

In the afternoon, sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of Hongfeng Valley, casting dappled light and shadow.

After a while, Xu Changqing's Divine Sense perceived someone approaching Hongfeng Valley; this person was carrying a heavy Earth Drilling Spirit Tool on their back, looking like a drill bit.

The visitor had a sturdy build, bronze-colored skin; it was precisely Yang Zhenyue's Disciple, named Wang Shi.

Earth Spirit Root, most skilled at mining and drilling; within the Sect he was responsible for matters related to Spiritual Vein exploration.

Wang Shi saluted respectfully, his voice slightly deep: "Xu Sikong, this junior comes by Master's order to investigate the matter of the Mysterious Yellow Qi leakage."

Xu Changqing nodded: "You've worked hard, begin."

"Yes!"

Wang Shi acknowledged, immediately taking out a Yellow Talisman, injecting Spiritual Power into it and pressing it against the ground.

As the talisman's light flashed, the ground actually slowly split open a crack, from within came the damp scent of earth.

Wang Shi leaped in first, Xu Changqing followed closely behind.

Initially, there was not the slightest obstruction; soil and Earth Qi automatically parted.

But after a while, hard objects like stones began to appear in the surroundings.

At this time, Wang Shi held his Earth Drilling Tool in hand, aimed in a direction, injected Spiritual Power into it; only a "buzzing" sound resounded, the drill bit suddenly spun rapidly.

The originally hard obstacles could no longer block the way, turning into dust one after another.

Like this they went deeper for nearly several hundred meters, then stopped again.

"What's wrong?"

"Reporting to Xu Sikong, the Earth Qi here has thinned."

"Hmm, the Wood Spirit Qi has instead become much richer!"

Although both had Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense respectively, Wang Shi still lit a Spirit Lamp; bright light radiated in all directions.

Xu Changqing looked around, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Up, down, left, right — all were dense, intertwined Maple Tree root systems.

These root systems were thicker than the tree trunks above ground, overall deep brown, their surfaces shimmering with faint green patterns, like a giant net tightly wrapping Hongfeng Valley's underground.

And between the root systems, one could clearly see a patch of crushed traces; wherever they passed was charred black — precisely the destruction caused when the Mysterious Yellow Qi leaked.

At the deepest part, faintly visible was a snake-like twisting gaseous substance.

If one listened carefully, one could still hear a "rumbling" sound echoing.

Wang Shi pointed straight ahead: "Xu Sikong, look, the Mysterious Yellow Qi is right there."

Xu Changqing naturally discovered it, but his attention was drawn to the surrounding root systems.

Countless Maple Tree roots layered and entwined, wrapping into an incomparably huge sphere, its surface covered in fine dense patterns, and tightly connected to the surrounding roots.

Rich Wood Spirit Qi and Earth Qi endlessly emanated from the sphere, even forming a suppressive Domain.

Xu Changqing frowned slightly: "This is……"

To make Hongfeng Valley's root systems wrap it so, the sphere's interior is absolutely no ordinary thing.

Originally just investigating the Mysterious Yellow Qi leak, didn't expect an unexpected discovery.

Wang Shi stepped closer, observed carefully and said: "Xu Sikong, Spirit Plant matters I can't manage.

But according to Sect Classics records, a wisp of Yellow Qi weighs ten thousand catties; this Mysterious Yellow Qi is ten times heavier than Yellow Qi — a single wisp weighs a hundred thousand catties.

The wisp before us is so substantial; ordinary methods likely cannot contain it — a specially made Earth Stabilizing Dharma Tool is needed to take it away."

Xu Changqing glanced at him: "So?"

Wang Shi hurriedly said: "How about I return and consult Master?"

Xu Changqing heard this, thought for a moment, then his fingertip moved slightly; a wisp of mana probed toward that Mysterious Yellow Qi.

Touching it felt heavy and condensed, like substance, yet carrying pure Earth Attribute Origin.

This thing can be used to refine Magic Tools and Magic Treasures, and also to create Spiritual Arrays.

Therefore, Xu Changqing's heart stirred; he said to Wang Shi: "No need to trouble yourself; this wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi I will personally handle."

These words spoken, Wang Shi froze: "You will handle it?"

Generally speaking, leaked Earth Qi, Yellow Qi, Mysterious Yellow Qi are all reclaimed by the Spiritual Vein.

After all, they are the professionals at this.

Of course, they can also take the opportunity to make a huge profit.

Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed: "What, you have an opinion?"

Wang Shi jumped in fright, hurriedly waved his hands: "No no no, since you want to personally handle it, I'll return and report to Master."

Xu Changqing lightly nodded: "Go."

Although Wang Shi regretted this rare treasure in his heart, Xu Sikong's identity and cultivation were right before his eyes; therefore he dared not have the slightest objection, could only suppress his reluctance, control the drill bit and return the way they came.

Xu Changqing's palm manifested a gentle Spiritual Light, slowly wrapping that wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi.

The Mysterious Yellow Qi struggled violently at first, yet ultimately could not break free of the binding; as it was continuously compressed, its form shrank inch by inch, finally transforming into a soybean-sized ball of Qi.

Xu Changqing directly tossed it into his Personal Space, thinking secretly: "Give it to the Earth Spirit Root."

After that, his gaze once again fell upon that giant tree root sphere.

Divine Sense, Withering and Flourishing Dao Rhyme, Wood Law — he perceived it in varying ways.

Only to discover the inside was a blur, yet constantly emitting rich Wood Spirit Qi and Earth Qi, as if there was also a trace of Mysterious Yellow Qi.

In short, the feeling was quite complex, and moreover impossible to see through.

You must know, I myself am already at the Nascent Soul Stage, yet I actually cannot see through it.

Xu Zhangqing was startled and doubtful: "Judging by the position, that place is the Red Maple Ancient Tree.

Could it be that the Mysterious Yellow Qi was attracted over by it?"

The Red Maple Ancient Tree is that towering red maple tree.

When the wind blows or something approaches, the maple leaves make a 'pop pop' sound.

At first listen, it is as if they are clapping in welcome.

Seeing that he could not see through it, Xu Zhangqing thought back and forth and gave up the idea of probing.

If it were an Ordinary Spirit Plant, he would do whatever he wanted.

But the Red Maple Ancient Tree is different; it was planted by his Master and has been Dormant all along.

Therefore, it is better to go out and consult his Master or the Great Elder.

……

……

Xu Zhangqing had just flown out from underground when he saw a figure rushing over hurriedly.

It was precisely Ruo Qunshuang returning from going out, but her expression was solemn.

Ruo Qunshuang flew to the front: "Qing Ge, something happened at the Water Control Pavilion."

Xu Zhangqing asked curiously: "What happened?"

Ruo Qunshuang took a deep breath: "A vibration occurred at the Water Control Pavilion."

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "That side vibrated too?"

Ruo Qunshuang was instantly startled and uncertain: "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhangqing pointed at the cracked ground underfoot: "Just now, our side here also vibrated."

Ruo Qunshuang's complexion changed slightly: "Is our home alright?"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "Our home has already been solved; it was a wisp of Mysterious Yellow Qi leaking. What is the situation on your side?"

Ruo Qunshuang continued: "After the vibration, many coffins emerged from the Black Lake, floating densely on the water surface, and even Xuan Wu Du woke up!"

For some reason, Xu Zhangqing felt it sounded familiar: "Water Control Pavilion? Coffins?"

Ruo Qunshuang's description, he seemed to have heard someone say it before.

But the memory is too long ago; he cannot recall it for the moment.

Ruo Qunshuang was very nervous: "Even Lord Mo was alarmed; he is currently handling those coffins, nothing will go wrong, right?"

Xu Zhangqing pulled her into his embrace and comforted her in a tender voice: "No matter how big the matter, the Sect High Levels are bearing it; you can rest assured!"
