Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

"That's not the case."

Lu Chen Yuan shook his head: "The decrease in Water Spirit Qi is not caused by a single factor, but the result of multiple causes overlapping.

Besides the Tu Soil God corrupting the Spiritual Veins, it is also related to the Dragon Vein being slain.

Furthermore, over these years, the major powers have over-mined the Spiritual Veins, and over time, this will lead to the current situation."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

It was not that they had realized their mistake, but that the problem had shifted from the Tu Soil God to themselves.

After all, everyone in the Tianyuan Realm is mining resources, and no one can say anything about anyone else.

"Then, Lu Grandmaster, is there a solution?"

Xu Zhangqing finally spoke: "If the decrease in Water Spirit Qi is not resolved as soon as possible, in not too long, the Five Elements Spiritual Qi of the Tianyuan Realm will become unbalanced.

By then, not only will Water Spiritual Root cultivators suffer, but cultivators of the other Five Elements Spiritual Roots will also be affected."

Lu Chen Yuan looked at Xu Zhangqing, a flash of praise in his eyes: "Sect Master Xu's words are extremely correct; it's just a pity that this old man currently has no way to completely solve it.

But it can be confirmed that to make the Water Spirit Qi rise again, we must start from three aspects.

First, suppress the Tu Soil God and prevent it from continuing to pollute the Spiritual Veins.

Second, unlock the Yin River Shackles and let the Xuan River reappear in the world.

Third, control resource mining and let the Water Spirit Qi slowly regenerate."

Hearing these words, the people around all had expressions of sudden realization.

Only Xu Zhangqing not only did not nod, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

Those who know about the Yin River Shackles are not many in the entire Tianyuan Realm.

Either they are existences like the Wu Sheng Chong Mu.

Or they are people from the Yellow Spring Alliance.

Even he himself only had a guess through collecting the Xuan Tie Tokens and the casual chats when he was with Eldest Senior Sister back then.

Yet this Xunlong Grandmaster before him actually said it out loud.

From this, it can be seen that Lu Chen Yuan is not only a grandmaster of the Xunlong Lineage.

He might also be...

Lu Chen Yuan did not delve into Xu Zhangqing's strangeness, explaining: "Ten thousand years ago, the reason the Xuan River dried up was first to curb the then invincible Xuanhe Spirit Clan.

Second, it was to let the Water Spirit Qi of the Tianyuan Realm return to normal.

Back then, the seniors of the Xunlong Lineage also participated in it.

Now, to unlock the Yin River Shackles, one must gather nine Xuan Tie Tokens, unlock the shackles of the Nine Entrances, before the Xuan River can reappear in the world.

It's just that these nine Xuan Tie Tokens are scattered all over the Tianyuan Realm; some are hidden deep in the Spiritual Veins, and some have been taken by Evil Cultivators.

Wanting to gather them is not an easy task."

Although the other party explained the reason in time.

But after Xu Zhangqing finished listening, he became even more alert in his heart.

The Xunlong Lineage did not expand its influence early or late.

Why did they choose to relax the rules and accept outsiders at this time, or at this stage?

"Lu Grandmaster, do you know the approximate location of the tokens?"

"Or are there any clues that can help us find the tokens and unlock the Yin River Shackles?"

"As long as you say a word, we will take action immediately!"

Indeed, the people around all became excited.

Actually, many people have heard of the Xuan Tie Tokens, but very few possess them.

Among everyone, Xu Zhangqing obtained four, but since it was of great importance, he dared not reveal it.

Lu Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then said: "The Xuan Tie Tokens are hard to trace; this old man only knows the approximate location of two of them.

One is hidden deep in the mountains of Xiyu, and one is suspected to have been obtained by Evil Cultivators of the Northern Domain."

Wei Shanyue raised his voice: "It seems that gathering nine tokens is as difficult as climbing to heaven!"

Luo Sha sat not far away, her gaze flickering slightly beneath the black gauze.

Lu Chen Yuan said seriously: "Finding the Xuan Tie Tokens requires the cooperation of all parties.

This old man will mobilize the power of the Xunlong Lineage to investigate the traces of the tokens.

If everyone is willing to help, we have hope of gathering the tokens and unlocking the Yin River Shackles."

At this time, Shi Bu Yu spoke; he, who usually says no more than three sentences a day, had a rather solemn tone now: "The Spiritual Veins will hurt... Tu Soil God pollution... if this continues... the Spiritual Veins will be destroyed... the Five Elements Spiritual Qi will all disappear..."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

Although Shi Bu Yu is a taciturn person, his perception of the Spiritual Veins is the sharpest, and his words are certainly not alarmist.

"Brother Shi Dao is right."

Shen Tinglan spoke to supplement: "As far as I know, the aura of the Tu Soil God is slowly infiltrating every Spiritual Vein of the Tianyuan Realm; if not suppressed in time, in no more than a hundred years, the Spiritual Veins of the Tianyuan Realm will be polluted.

By then, all Five Elements Spiritual Qi will be damaged, Five Spiritual Root cultivators will decline bit by bit, their cultivation will be difficult to improve, and there may even be cases of regression in realm."

Someone asked eagerly: "What about Mutant Spiritual Root cultivators?"

Liu Yan replied: "Mutant Spiritual Root cultivators are not affected by Five Elements Spiritual Qi; on the contrary, they will gain more opportunities because of the imbalance of Five Elements Spiritual Qi."

Moreover, I recently received intelligence that many Mutant Spirit Root Evil Cultivators are active in the shadows, seemingly preparing to cause chaos across the Entire Tianyuan Realm when the Five Elements Spiritual Qi becomes imbalanced.

Upon hearing this, everyone present was filled with worry.

After all, the vast majority of Xiuxian Zhe possess Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

The Female Earth glanced at the Main Body, thinking the other party would continue speaking, but unexpectedly they said nothing afterward, appearing unusually silent.

Just as everyone was worried and discussing incessantly, Lu Chen Yuan raised his hand, and the surroundings instantly fell silent: "Besides collecting Xuan Tie Tokens, suppressing the Tu Soil God, and controlling Spiritual Vein mining, I have one more matter to inform everyone."

Recently, three long-dust-covered Secret Realms in the Tianyuan Realm will open one after another.

Hearing this, a glint of sharpness flashed in everyone's eyes.

Secret Realms often contain vast resources and Ancient Inheritances.

If one can gain something in a Secret Realm, they can not only improve their Own Cultivation but also accumulate foundations for their own power.

Lu Chen Yuan lightly tapped the Stone Table with his fingertip, and three flashing points appeared on the Spiritual Vein Distribution Map: "The first place is the Hanmai Secret Realm in the Southern Region, opening in Three Days."

The Ice Marrow Earth Vein in the Secret Realm can assist Water and Ice Spirit Root cultivators in stabilizing their cultivation.

The second place is the Jiao River Secret Realm in Dongyu, opening in Half a Month.

Inside, there are not only Strange Beasts like Jiao Dragons, but also various rare Water-type Supreme Treasures.

The third place is the Huangtu Secret Realm in the Central Region, opening in One Month.

Deep in the Secret Realm connects to the Spiritual Vein Hub, and it is rumored that there is a Xuan Tie Token.

However, the Earth Qi in the Secret Realm is chaotic, and it is extremely dangerous."

He paused, emphasizing the reminder: "Although these Secret Realms have Opportunities, they also hide crises, especially the Jiao River Secret Realm and Huangtu Secret Realm, which may have been corrupted by the breath of the Tu Soil God."

When you go there, you must be cautious.

The Xunlong Lineage will send Core Members to go to these Secret Realms with everyone, assisting everyone in investigating clues and avoiding risks."

"Thank you, Sect Master Lu!"

"Thank you, Xunlong Lineage!"

"At critical moments, we still have to rely on you!"

Everyone was extremely excited and expressed their thanks one after another.

They discussed for another half an hour, formulating the details of collecting Xuan Tie Tokens, opening Secret Realms, and the preliminary plan for suppressing the Tu Soil God.

After everyone reached a consensus, Lu Chen Yuan announced the end of this gathering.

The gathering ended, and everyone left one after another.

Some went in groups to discuss the Secret Realm trip, while others thought of countermeasures alone.

Xu Zhangqing gave the Female Earth a look, then walked toward a stone path beside Kun Yu Pavilion.

The Female Earth followed closely behind; she could feel that the Main Body chose silence because there must be some concerns.

Walking deep into the stone path, Xu Zhangqing stopped and transmitted his voice: "You have been in the Xunlong Lineage for so many years; have you discovered anything abnormal?"

The Female Earth was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "Main Body, the Xunlong Lineage has always been harmonious."

"All Core Members perform their respective duties, all devoted to studying Spiritual Veins and guarding Spiritual Veins, never having done anything abnormal."

"Harmonious?"

A glint of coldness flashed in Xu Zhangqing's eyes: "Don't you find it strange?"
