Chapter 40: Spiritual Pulse

  First update is out, new book rushes up the charts, members click... thank you!

  ……

  "Who would have thought that under this lotus pond, there is actually another world." Chen Qingdi stood up, and the spiritual energy inside his body was released, drying the water on his clothes. However, his body was covered with mud.

  At this time, Chen Qingdi appeared in a cave. As for the specific location of this cave, Chen Qingdi was not very clear either, anyway, it was already far away from He Tang.

  At first, Chen Qingdi found the lotus flowers in the pond that emitted spiritual energy. In order to find the source of the spiritual energy, he directly jumped into the pond. However, when he arrived at the bottom of the pond, he discovered that the spiritual energy was not coming from the lotus flowers themselves, but rather from the muddy roots beneath them.

  In order to obtain the spiritual energy, Chen Qingdi quickly removed the stagnant mud. Who would have thought that under the stagnant mud, there was a large pit. After entering the large pit, he still couldn't find the source of the spiritual energy, but Chen Qingdi discovered a passageway.

  Chen Qingdi had just entered the passage when the mud he had dug open rushed in quickly, completely sealing off the large pit behind him.

  Then, Chen Qingdi heard about a student jumping into the water to rescue someone, but he didn't pay attention to it.

  The aura, this is what Chen Da Shao wants most.

  Along the passage, following the spiritual energy all the way crawling, crawled for about five or six minutes, Chen Qingdi came to a cave.

  The cave is not very large, about two meters high and four meters wide, with a depth of around five or six meters. Inside the cave, it's not as humid as I imagined, but rather quite dry.

  The source of spiritual energy is right in this cave.

  "At such a distance, the spiritual energy can still be transmitted to the lotus pond. It seems that this should be a treasure." Chen Qingdi took a deep breath, and his heart was extremely excited.

  Lingqi, what Chen Da Xiaojie has been yearning for most.

  Chen Qingdi is now at the peak of his cultivation in the second layer of Qi Refining, only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the third layer. As soon as he breaks through to the third layer, he can set up some arrays on his clothes and draw some low-level talismans.

  Chen Da thought it through, with the weather being so hot, once he cultivates to the third layer of Qi Refining, he would set up a Refreshing Array on his clothes. With the Refreshing Array present, it was as if he had brought along a portable air conditioner, and no matter how hot the weather got, he wouldn't be afraid.

  Draw some defensive and offensive talismans, give them to Chen Xiangxiang, and while setting up the Qing Shuang formation on Chen Xiangxiang's clothes, also set up some defensive formations.

  In this way, Chen Dashao is no longer afraid that Chen Fengyan will harm Chen Xiangxiang in order to frame him.

  In short, as long as one breaks through to the third layer of Qi Refining, Chen Qingdi's proud skills will have a place to be used.

  However... wanting to break through to the third layer of Qi Refining, what's lacking is precisely Spiritual Energy. Now that it's been discovered here, and there seems to be quite a bit of it, how can Chen Qing not get excited?

  Taking a deep breath, Chen Qingdi's gaze swept across the cave and finally landed on a corner of the deepest part of the cave. "The spiritual energy is indeed coming from there, but apart from the mud, there's nothing else visible."

  The entire cave was empty and the space was just that big. Although the cave was dimly lit and visibility was poor, with Chen Qingdi's eyesight, there were no obstacles at all, everything was clear at a glance, without any omissions.

  "Can't there be another hole or pit somewhere?" Chen Qingdi looked around, but saw nothing, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn it, brother, I just want to get some spiritual energy, is it that hard? Jumping into the river, digging holes, what haven't I done?"

  Arriving at the corner, Chen Qingdi bent down and began carefully digging away the mud with his hands.

  "Boom!"

  As Chen Qingdi continued to dig through the soil, after more than ten minutes, a thick spiritual energy rushed towards him, causing Chen Da's heart to shake violently, and his movements became even faster.

  "Wow, wow... this... this... damn it's actually... actually a spiritual vein, spiritual vein, wow..." After a few more minutes, Chen Qing Emperor shouted loudly and excitedly.

  A spiritual vein appeared in front of Chen Da Shaoye.

  "The spiritual energy in the spiritual vein, after an unknown period of slow leakage, has weakened a lot." Thinking of the leaked spiritual energy, Chen Qingdi felt unbearable pain, "No way, must break through to the third layer of Qi refining as soon as possible, and then use the Array Method to seal the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein to prevent leakage."

  "It's okay, I'm now at the peak of the second layer of Qi training. With this spiritual vein, it will take at most half an hour to break through." Thinking of this, Chen Qingdi didn't care about anything else. He completely ignored that today was the first day of school and sat down next to the spiritual vein, starting his cultivation.

  It's not easy to find a spiritual vein, so Chen Qingdi certainly doesn't want the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein to leak out, that would be such a waste. Before, he didn't know about it, but now that he has discovered the leakage of spiritual energy, he absolutely won't allow it.

  There's a saying that goes, "Food doesn't hurt when eaten, but waste hurts." It's the same with spiritual energy; cultivating and absorbing it doesn't hurt, but wasting it would be a tragedy, or else Chen Da Shaoye's heart wouldn't be bleeding.

  Chen Dashi, who discovered the spiritual pulse, closed his door to cultivate and impact the three layers of Qi. At the same time, Chen Xiangxiang, who was caught, was also taken by three men and one woman to a abandoned factory more than 40 miles away from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy.

  "When is your young master coming?" Chen Xiangxang, who was holding Xiao Hei, said angrily. At this time, Chen Xiangxang was not afraid at all, because she could be sure that the one who caught her was her own brother, Chen Qingdi.

  It's not that Chen Xiangxiang was too rash, but rather because she had already caught wind of something from the conversation between the three men and two women.

  For example, after Chen Xiangxiang was caught in the car, these people inadvertently said words like "he's sister", and the second elder sitting in the co-pilot seat made a phone call and inadvertently said "your sister"…

  Moreover, he is also a young master.

  The one who got caught was Chen Xiangxiang, and it's "your sister", which means it's Chen Xiangxiang's brother. And it's that young master or whatever, besides Chen Qingdi, who else could it be?

  She knew that the person behind the scenes was Chen Da Shao, so Chen Xiangxiang wasn't afraid. Chen Xiangxiang knew that her big brother wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

  However, what made Chen Xiang feel puzzled was that in the nine days before coming to school, Chen Qingdi, who had treated Xiao Hei, did not have any malice towards her, but instead was very friendly.

  Why did Chen Qingdi find someone to catch her as soon as school started?

  Chen Xiangxiang was very puzzled by this.

  She may not understand but she was caught is a fact.

  Few people knew that Lin Jingrou had won money in the racing, and Chen Qingdi happened to be the mastermind. Through the conversation between the three men and one woman, it was indeed Chen Qingdi's doing.

  Chen Xiang had never been like that before, it was someone who intentionally wanted to frame Chen Qingdi.

  "What's the hurry? You want to see our young master so badly?" The second elder, who was originally sitting in the passenger seat, licked his tongue and gazed at Chen Xiang with a sly look, saying: "Heh heh, I'm afraid that once our young master arrives, you'll regret it and be scared."

  "Second Brother, Young Master's orders, don't harm his sister... don't harm Chen Xiangxiang." The young man who was originally driving glared at Second Brother and said coldly, "If Young Master blames us, we'll all be finished."

  "Older brother, you're wrong to say that. Such a beautiful woman is in front of us and there's no one else around..." The yellow-haired youth stared at Chen Xiang with a lustful gaze, sizing her up from head to toe, rubbing his hands together as he said: "Tsk tsk, if we don't do something, it would be a waste."

  "It's all right, as long as we have Young Master to back us up, even if we do something wrong, nothing will happen. At worst, I'll just run away with the money, and Young Master will still give us a lot of money." Second Brother said, moving closer to Chen Xiangxiang.

  "Am I invisible to you? You dare to do that kind of thing with another woman in front of me?" Liu Na furiously stepped forward, grabbing the second child's ear and said angrily.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you? I was just joking. Anyway, I let this little girl get a whole body of evil fire." The second child hugged Liu Na in his arms and smiled, saying: "Come on, follow me inside, to relieve the fire."

  "Ugh." Liu Na suddenly went limp all over and fell into Er Ge's arms, following him as he walked towards the abandoned factory.

  Very soon...

  From the abandoned factory came the sound of mournful sighs and various "ah"s and "pa"s...

  Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang's face turned deathly pale, losing the calmness she had at first. She hugged Xiao Hei and shrank into a corner, her entire body trembling nonstop.

  "Big brother, I...I can't take it anymore. It's all because of Second Brother, he's really too much of a troublemaker." The yellow-haired youth, with dry mouth and tongue, stared fixedly at Chen Xiangxiang and said: "Big brother, let's do it, you go first?"

  "If you don't want to die, then bear with it." The boss took a deep breath and suppressed the desire in his heart, saying: "After completing this task and getting the money, you can play however you want. There are many women, why lose your life for just one?"

  "The boss is right, but looking at her pitiful appearance, it's really too tempting." The yellow-haired youth swallowed his saliva and said: "Boss, I couldn't help but want to protect her, not doing anything else, just touching her would be fine."

  The blond-haired youth, speaking as he approached Chen Xiang, his eyes filled with lustful flames, a lewd smile on his face, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, just touch you a bit, don't worry."

  "You... don't come any closer, don't come any closer." Chen Xiangxiang's face was deathly pale, terrified to the extreme, constantly backing away until her entire body was pressed against the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

  "Don't come over..." With no way out, Chen Xiang leaned against the wall and shifted to one side.

  "Rip..."

  With a sound, Chen Xiang's snow-white skirt accidentally got caught on a protruding iron nail, and in an instant, her skirt was torn apart, revealing a patch of snow-white skin exposed to the air.

  "Ah!"

  Chen Xiangxang let out a cry of surprise and quickly covered her skirt with her hands.

  "Bang... Bang... Bang... Ah... Ah... Ah..."

  At this moment, a soul-stirring sound kept getting louder from deep within the abandoned factory.

  "Whatever, I've had enough, let's do this." Seeing Chen Xiang's exposed snowy skin and the various slapping sounds, Huang Mao was deeply stimulated and let out a low growl.

  Not only was the young man with yellow hair shocked, but even the big brother who had been watching all this had his heart skip a beat, and his mind began to become less determined.

  "Wang Wang......"

  At this time, as a half-spirit beast, Xiao Hei had already sensed deep hostility. Originally, it thought it was about to see Chen Qingdi, so it didn't resist, but now someone wanted to harm Chen Xiangxiang, and Xiao Hei was no longer calm.

  "Whoosh!"

  Xiao Hei broke free from Chen Xiangxiang's arms and transformed into a black shadow, quickly pouncing towards Huang Mao Xiaozi.
