The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 700 - 701: The Seven-Star Tomb Beneath the Dragon Vein
Everyone returned to the main hall to dine together, and then the Elder of the Willow Association took Liu Zixuan and left Willow Manor.
After Liu Zixuan started the car, he asked, "Where exactly is the Seven-Star Tomb?"
"Turn at the next intersection, then take a left. I remember there’s a rather secluded path there. We’ll get off and walk from there. You’ll see when we get there," the Elder of the Willow Association said, leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, this is all so mysterious. What kind of place could it be?
As he murmured to himself, he directly pressed the pedal and drove towards the place the Elder of the Willow Association had mentioned.
About fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a narrow path.
It was a winding, twisting path, overgrown with weeds on the sides, and the car simply couldn’t pass through.
The Elder of the Willow Association got out of the car and waved his hand, "Let’s go, it’s right up ahead."
"This place is indeed remote, not far from the manor, almost like we’re heading into the mountains," Liu Zixuan muttered.
"That place indeed lies at the foot of the mountain."
The Elder of the Willow Association asked meaningfully, "Young friend Zixuan, have you ever heard of the Dragon Vein?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Dragon Vein?
Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes and said, "Of course I’ve heard of it. It seems people mention it daily, but such things are too mystical. I doubt anyone’s truly seen the real place of a Dragon Vein."
"That’s not quite right," the Elder of the Willow Association laughed, "Dragon Veins are the essence of the earth and indeed exist. Some foreign geologists once observed our Star Sea map through various satellites and concluded that the largest pattern is a crouching dragon, which is why they say Star Sea has just one Dragon Vein."
"I read related reports saying that the dragon’s head of that Dragon Vein is near Yudu," Liu Zixuan said.
"What you say is true, but the Dragon Veins in Star Sea are not limited to just one," the Elder of the Willow Association said with pride in his voice.
"How many do we have then?"
"Putting aside what people in the Mortal Realm say, from our martial artists’ perspective, Star Sea has twenty-six Dragon Veins. There is one Bright Dragon Vein, the one you mentioned in Yudu, and one Hidden Dragon Vein, opposite to the Bright one. Yudu serves as both the dragon’s head and the tail, making that place wrapped in legend and mystery!"
Listening to the Elder, Liu Zixuan asked, "What about the remaining twenty-four?"
"There are twenty-four Ancestral Dragon Veins," the Elder of the Willow Association said, pausing deliberately, "The so-called Ancestral Dragon Veins are actually the predecessors of the Bright and Hidden Dragon Veins. With crustal shifts, the locations of the Dragon Veins move slowly. Since ancient times, from the birth of the first Dragon Vein to now, they have changed and overlapped twenty-four times."
"The currently existing two Dragon Veins have evolved over thousands or even tens of thousands of years, forming the current overlapping state of the Bright and Hidden Dragon Veins. This is why Star Sea is becoming increasingly powerful and rising at an impressive speed!"
"Besides determining a country’s geomancy, the Dragon Veins must have other uses, right?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.
The Elder of the Willow Association gave a look of appreciation, "Young friend Zixuan is indeed smart, catching on quickly. Dragon Veins may not be useful to others, but to our martial artists, they hold immense value."
"A complete Dragon Vein has three top places: the dragon’s head, tail, and the dantian of the Dragon Vein. The dragon’s head, dantian, and tail often have some peculiar landscapes or where unnatural events frequently occur."
Liu Zixuan furrowed his brow in thought, "I have heard of some unnatural phenomena, mostly in remote mountain areas or in rivers and seas."
"Exactly, that’s due to the Dragon Vein," the Elder of the Willow Association chuckled, "Apart from the three special spots of the current two true Dragon Veins, the dragon’s head, dantian, and tail locations of those twenty-four Ancestral Dragon Veins are perfect for cultivation. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is exceptionally abundant there."
At this point, the Elder of the Willow Association had a mysterious expression, looking at Liu Zixuan, "If you think carefully, you might know which places are the dragon’s head, dantian, and tail of those twenty-four Ancestral Dragon Veins."
Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "If it’s an excellent place for cultivation, then it must be where those hidden families, hidden sects, and the largest sects of Star Sea now reside."
"Truly clever!" the Elder of the Willow Association praised, "So don’t believe there’s any particularly extraordinary genius in those sects; it’s all due to these spiritual lands between Heaven and Earth, plus the countless resources pooled together for that one person that creates such a genius."
Liu Zixuan chuckled, "You are quite knowledgeable, Elder."
"Living long naturally grants you such insights," the Elder of the Willow Association laughed, glancing at the open area in front and said, "Chatting as we go, we’ve reached here without noticing."
"This... This is too beautiful!"
Liu Zixuan, having focused solely on Elder’s narration, hadn’t noticed the surrounding scenery, and now he stopped and looked ahead, suddenly stunned in place.
Before him lay mountains, yet the stones on them were dazzlingly colorful, and ordinarily, in sunlight, such brilliance would blind the eyes.
However, now the sunlight shone on the colorful stones without any glare. From afar, it looked as if a rainbow spanned across the mountains, radiating mystery and a beauty beyond words.
The trees and plants in this area weren’t tall, one could touch the treetops with a raised hand. They were perfectly uniform as if deliberately crafted.
"Is this all natural?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Yes, when I discovered this place, it was like this, unchanged over the years," the Elder of the Willow Association brushed his fingers over the stones, smiling faintly, "I forgot to tell you, this is the tail of the twenty-fourth Ancestral Dragon Vein. The Seven-Star Tomb lies below."
"What!" Liu Zixuan exclaimed, "The Seven-Star Tomb is in the same place as the Dragon Vein?"
"Correct, though it’s not one of the current true Dragon Veins, the Dragon Qi of the Ancestral Dragon Vein still lingers. Combined with the Seven-Star Tomb’s peculiarities, I believe those Dragon Qis have converged into the tomb."
The Elder of the Willow Association smiled warmly, "That’s why your master didn’t want you to continue searching for the Seven-Star Tomb. This Seven-Star Tomb is already a middle-level one, the Dragon Qi inside would be intimidating not just for you, but even for an Emperor Realm master..."
