"That’s right. It should be here."
A young man with the surname Wan held a drawing with an ink-colored design.
The drawing depicted three towering peaks, with the central peak being the highest, forming a mountain-shaped image.
In front of them were three peaks almost identical to those on the ink drawing.
The accompanying disciples excitedly said, "It looks like Elder Zeng and the others didn’t make a mistake. The Double Cavern Secret Realm is indeed one of the blessed lands of the Eastern Continent. With this map, we can find the spiritual vein."
"Don’t be happy too early," the young man with the surname Wan said calmly.
"So many years have passed, and many maps of the Eastern Continent have long been lost. The map we have may not be very detailed. Moreover, the Double Cavern Secret Realm has been isolated for many years, and many of the terrain features have likely changed. That the three peaks have been preserved is already quite fortunate." Hearing this, the two disciples’ excitement cooled slightly.
"Senior Brother Wan, if what you say is true, how should we find the spiritual vein?"
The young man with the surname Wan pondered for a moment, "The previous records did not mention a spiritual vein in the Double Cavern Secret Realm. This vein is probably relatively new and not very strong. We should start by dealing with the demonic beasts that guarding it."
"Then why did Senior Brother Wan have us gather so many spiritual herbs? Shouldn’t one spiritual herb be enough to deal with the demonic beasts?"
The two of them were somewhat confused.
They had picked the Dragon’s Breath Fern because Senior Brother Wan had asked them to, and they thought it might have other uses, so they didn’t question it.
The young man with the surname Wan seemed to think of something and sneered, "It’s enough for us to know about the spiritual vein; there’s no need to share it with others."
The two disciples’ breathing became fervent.
The term "others" clearly referred to other sects and forces.
Indeed, if other forces discovered those spiritual herbs, they would likely deduce the existence of a spiritual vein.
The more people who knew about it, the more competition there would be.
"Senior Brother Wan, you truly have foresight."
The two disciples continued to flatter him.
Amalia had picked the Dragon’s Breath Fern and, based on her guess, there should be other Dragon’s Breath Fern nearby.
Dragon’s Breath Fern doesn’t grow randomly.
Although it doesn’t grow in large patches, it doesn’t spread too widely either.
She searched for a while but didn’t find a second Dragon’s Breath Fern.
Kenny Lin jumped down from the sky, "Stop searching. The nearby Dragon’s Breath Fern has already been taken by someone else."
After Dragon’s Breath Fern is dug up, a small pit is left in the ground.
The other party hadn’t covered it up, and in this situation, there was no need to cover it up.
The pit only revealed that something had been there, not what it originally was.
Amalia held the Dragon’s Breath Fern, "This herb isn’t the main ingredient to lure the Crystal-Eyed Mink. It might be hard to lure it out with this."
"So, this thing is pretty much useless?" Kenny Lin raised an eyebrow, "If you’re holding onto it and the demonic beasts won’t come. You might as well just throw it away."
With that, he took the Dragon’s Breath Fern from her hands and threw it behind him.
Amalia raised her hand as if to hit him, but walked over to pick up the Dragon’s Breath Fern, "How do you know it’s useless? What if..."
"What if what?" Kenny Lin asked as she left her sentence unfinished.
"What if we got lucky?" Amalia stepped aside.
A crystal-clear demonic beast with only twice the size of Wealth, grabbed the discarded Dragon’s Breath Fern with its two claws and took a bite.
"This really is a stroke of luck," Kenny Lin said, dumbfounded.
He hadn’t expected that casually throwing the Dragon’s Breath Fern would actually attract the Crystal-Eyed Mink.
Seeing that humans had discovered it, the Crystal-Eyed Mink was so frightened that it tried to flee.
However, despite its Golden Core cultivation, it couldn’t truly display Golden Core combat power and was soon captured by the two of them.
It then looking pitifully at the humans in front of it.
It was just starving and had come out looking for food.
How unlucky for it to running into two human cultivators.
Having been caught, the Crystal-Eyed Mink decided to fill its stomach first and quickly devoured the Dragon’s Breath Fern.
"Looks like it’s not entirely just luck."
Amalia who is observing the Crystal-Eyed Mink, began to understand why good fortune had come their way.
Kenny Lin looked at her.
"This Crystal-Eyed Mink must have come out looking for food, and now that the nearby Dragon’s Breath Fern has been picked clean, it’s here to find more."
One could only wonder what the person who picked all the Dragon’s Breath Fern would think upon learning that their actions led the precious Crystal-Eyed Mink to seek them out.
"Since we’ve already found the Crystal-Eyed Mink, there’s no need to search for that kind of spiritual herb anymore."
Kenny Lin stared at the Crystal-Eyed Mink, "It looks like a total fool. Do you think it can lead us to the spiritual vein?"
"Let’s give it a try."
Amalia pulled a spiritual stone from the Soltice Ring and offered it to the Crystal-Eyed Mink.
"If you lead us to the spiritual vein, this spiritual stone is yours."
The Crystal-Eyed Mink’s eyes lit up when it saw the spiritual stone but quickly tried to appear composed.
"Why do I feel like this little creature reminds me of our son?" Kenny Lin said, looking at Amalia.
Amalia who is very experienced in dealing with Wealth, calmly took out two high-quality spiritual stones and said, "At most three stones. Any more and I’ll roast you for dinner."
The Crystal-Eyed Mink immediately showed a look of grievance.
Just three small stones and it was being threatened with death.
These humans were really stingy.
