The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

82: Chapter 82 Establishing a Connection with the Spirit of the Spirit VeinWith a decision made, Jiang Chen took Lu Xin to the Spiritual Vein. As for the others, they did not follow.

Not long after, Jiang Chen brought Lu Xin to the secret chamber. Looking at the Spiritual Qi continuously gushing out from the center, Jiang Chen pulled Lu Xin down through the passage.

With the Third-Rank Spirit Guiding Array, a Spiritual Qi channel had already been established with the Spiritual Vein. It might be difficult for an ordinary person like Lu Xin to enter, but with Jiang Chen’s protection, the two descended rapidly.

Before long, their feet touched solid ground. What greeted their eyes was the dazzling starlight of Spiritual Power.

“So beautiful.”

Looking at the soft glow of Spiritual Power around them, she was mesmerized and momentarily lost in its beauty.

“Buzz.”

The moment they landed, the entire underground Spiritual Vein trembled slightly, as if sensing an intrusion.

Just then, a Spiritual Power Phantom appeared before them.

“Who are you?”

A childlike voice entered their ears. Jiang Chen looked and saw a small, elf-like child. The palm-sized child floated in the air, a pair of Spiritual Power wings behind him making him appear nimble and playful.

“You are?”

Jiang Chen looked at the elf-like child before him, already having a guess in his heart. Lu Xin looked at the palm-sized child, saliva almost drooling out; she really wanted to hold and knead him in her hands.

“I am the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein. You came to my home and still ask me? Hmph, how did you get here?”

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein said fiercely to Jiang Chen and Lu Xin, but his words clearly lacked any menace, only adding to his cuteness.

“Spirit of the Spiritual Vein, hello. We came here specifically to find you.”

Jiang Chen directly stated their purpose.

“Find me? Why find me?”

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein was also very curious to hear that Jiang Chen was looking for him.

“Look at this person beside me.”

Jiang Chen did not directly explain the reason but instead gestured for the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein to look at Lu Xin.

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein’s small face froze, then he flew towards Lu Xin, circling her from top to bottom, his tiny body constantly shifting and spinning in the air.

“You make me feel very comfortable, why is that?”

Finally, the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein stopped in front of Lu Xin, his small face filled with confusion, doubt, and bewilderment.

Lu Xin’s heart itched from the soft, sweet voice. Her fingertips twitched, reaching out towards the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein, then quickly retracting as if afraid of startling him, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

“Perhaps it’s because we have a connection.”

Lu Xin whispered softly to the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein, afraid that a loud noise would scare him away.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, standing nearby, spoke at the opportune time, his voice calm:

“Spirit of the Spiritual Vein, she possesses the Ethereal Sacred Body, naturally able to resonate with the Spiritual Veins of heaven and earth. For you, this is also a good thing.”

As soon as these words were uttered, the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein’s small eyes instantly widened. He circled Lu Xin even faster, his tiny wings fanning ripples in the Spiritual Power.

“Ethereal Sacred Body? No wonder! No wonder I feel warm and comfortable all over!”

He suddenly stopped on Lu Xin’s shoulder, his small head rubbing against her cheek. The soft touch almost made Lu Xin scream on the spot, but she bit her lip tightly, afraid of disturbing the little guy.

The Ethereal Sacred Body, as the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein, his inherited memories mentioned it as a top-tier Physique of the Human Race. If it were just that, it would be fine, but every Ethereal Sacred Body could bind with their Spiritual Vein, and it would be even better if it was a Spiritual Vein that gave birth to a Spirit of the Spiritual Vein.

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein was not averse to this; it was merely binding and linking with the other party, sharing the Spiritual Vein’s grade, which would not lower his own grade.

Moreover, as long as he was bound and linked to the other party, he wouldn’t have to stay in this Spiritual Vein, never seeing the light of day. He could explore the vast world with the other party. Furthermore, upgrading the Spiritual Vein’s grade was difficult on his own, taking countless years each time. If the other party could help find some Spirit Crystals that could improve the Spiritual Vein’s grade, it would be even better.

Thinking of this, the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein no longer hesitated and spoke directly to Lu Xin.

“Then let’s begin.”

“Begin what?”

Lu Xin was startled by this sudden question. Her fingertips were still suspended in mid-air, wanting to touch but not daring to touch the soft, fuzzy Spiritual Power Phantom.

Jiang Chen, however, smiled knowingly, stepped forward, and said, “Naturally, it’s the binding contract between the Spiritual Vein and you. Now, don’t be nervous, relax.”

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he stroked Lu Xin’s hair to reassure her.

“Mm.”

Feeling Jiang Chen’s gentle comfort, Lu Xin took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and relaxed her entire body.

The moment these words fell, the entire underground Spiritual Vein suddenly erupted with dazzling spiritual light. Countless threads of Spiritual Power surged from all directions, coiling around Lu Xin and the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein.

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein spread his tiny wings, a faint golden halo appearing around him. He extended his chubby little hand and gently tapped Lu Xin’s glabella.

“Mmm…”

Lu Xin felt a warm current flow from her glabella into her limbs and bones. Her originally sluggish body seemed to be instantly unblocked, and the surrounding Spiritual Power rushed into her body as if it had found its home.

The Spirit of the Spiritual Vein’s voice carried a hint of childishness, yet also a touch of solemnity:

“From this day forth, I shall share the Origin of the Spiritual Vein with you, living and prospering together. This contract—heaven and earth bear witness!”

As his voice fell, a star-shaped mark quietly appeared on Lu Xin’s wrist, and the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein’s small body transformed into a streak of light, merging into that mark.

Jiang Chen watched this scene, his worried heart finally settling, a faint smile gracing his lips.

The moment the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein merged into the mark, the Spiritual Power around Lu Xin suddenly exploded, turning into countless firefly-like specks of light that dissipated into nothingness.

The warm current previously coursing through her body now surged ceaselessly, cleansing everything in its path like a clear spring, making her sigh in comfort.

She could clearly feel an unprecedentedly close connection between herself, the Spiritual Vein beneath her feet, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth.

However, at this moment, there was still no trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuation within her body. But as long as she wished, the Spiritual Qi from the Spiritual Vein would instantly surge into her Dantian.

“Is this… the feeling of the Ethereal Sacred Body Awakening?”

Lu Xin slowly opened her eyes, starlight seeming to flow within them. The star-shaped mark on her wrist was faintly warm, and a soft, sweet voice echoed in her mind:

“From now on, I’m your Spiritual Vein partner! You have to take me to see many, many fun things!”

“Don’t worry, I definitely will.”

Lu Xin promised the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein.

At this moment, Jiang Chen walked forward, looking at the brilliance in her eyes, his smile deepening:

“Congratulations, but what’s going on with you?”

Seeing this, Jiang Chen knew the matter was over, but seeing Lu Xin still appearing like an ordinary person, and unable to detect any Spiritual Qi within her, he couldn’t help but ask.

“Big Brother, is it like this?”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s question, Lu Xin’s Aura immediately changed. A pressure that Jiang Chen found difficult to resist swept over him. Jiang Chen’s expression instantly changed drastically; it was too strong.

Seeming to sense Jiang Chen’s abnormal state, Lu Xin’s Aura immediately vanished.

“Actually, I’m not sure either, but as long as I want to, I can instantly draw upon the Spiritual Qi here, right?”

Lu Xin said, actually just as confused herself.

“Idiot, although we’ve established a connection, Master only shares, she doesn’t possess it. You don’t even know this.”

Just then, the Spirit of the Spiritual Vein on Lu Xin’s body suddenly flew out, circling Lu Xin, looking at Jiang Chen with disdain.
