The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1623: Chapter 1623: Spirit Vein

”Black Thunder Sect!”

Carson Flores gazed at the distant peaks, somewhat surprised: ”They say this Black Thunder Sect is just a small Sect without even an Immortal, but I didn’t expect the Heavenly Alliance to be hiding here...”

Cora Tate asked, ”Are you sure the Golden-Winged Great Roc is here?”

Carson Flores nodded, shaking the magical treasure in his hand, the central needle of the treasure pointing straight at the opposite mountain peak.

”I was worried that the Golden-Winged Great Roc might be captured, so I marked it. As long as it’s not in a place like the Palace of Seven Beauties that can block everything, I can find it using the sensing treasure.”

”We just circled around here, and the needle kept pointing at Black Thunder Sect, so it can be confirmed it’s among them. Of course, we can’t rule out that members of the Heavenly Alliance are temporarily resting here.”

Cora Tate nodded: ”Find a way to catch someone, inquire about the situation inside, and then decide our next step.”

After all, dealing with experts from the Heavenly Alliance, even though Cora Tate is in the Late Celestial Immortal stage, she chose to act cautiously.

To know yourself and your enemy is the key to winning a hundred battles.

”Let’s find a place where we can see their mountain gate and observe, since it’s a Sect, there will always be people coming and going.”

”Okay!”

Carson Flores layered a Death Imprint on everyone, concealing their vital energy, then chose a hidden spot and waited quietly.

This wait lasted three days.

Shadows flickered behind the mountain gate, and two figures left the gate, flying towards the distance.

”Someone’s coming out, let’s follow them.”

The strength of these two was not strong, below an Immortal level, so when Cora Tate appeared, she just extended her hand in a grabbing motion, and the two were immobilized in mid-air, unable to move.

Carson Flores apprehended the two and took them to a secluded place, then separated them for interrogation.

”I’ll ask you both the same questions. If you both answer honestly and the information is accurate, you’ll both live. If anyone refuses to answer or lies, I’ll destroy them completely.”

The man’s eyes were filled with terror, face pale, nodding frantically: ”Elder, I’ll tell you everything without reservation, I won’t hide anything!”

Carson Flores said coldly: ”I ask, you answer. More than three seconds, death!”

”Name?”

”Byron James.”

”What is your strength?”

”Mid-Stage of God Transformation.”

”Is there a Golden-Winged Great Roc on the mountain?”

”Yes!”

”Does Black Thunder Sect belong to the Heavenly Alliance?”

”Yes.”

”Explain the situation on the mountain, be detailed.”

”We at Black Thunder Sect were originally a small Sect of just one or two hundred people, with the strongest Sect Master only at Hollow Void Strength, without even an Immortal, only controlling the three surrounding cities.”

”Five years ago, a person suddenly came to the Sect, a Golden Immortal. He directly took over Black Thunder Sect, ordering us to follow his commands. At the time, we didn’t know his background.”

”Gradually, more people arrived, all with at least True Immortal strength, some even Heavenly Immortals. They all wore masks, never revealing their identities.”

”Later, we learned they chose Black Thunder Sect as a base because they discovered a Spirit Vein four hundred miles north. They used Black Thunder Sect as a base, secretly establishing a Formation at the Spirit Vein to absorb its Spiritual Energy for cultivation.”

Carson Flores asked in surprise: ”Spirit Vein? Gaseous or Liquid?”

A Spirit Vein is a large accumulation of pure Spiritual Energy formed under special conditions, usually located beneath mountain ranges, following the mountain strata, hence the name.

Spirit Veins are generally divided into two types: one where the Spiritual Energy is absorbed into special material Jade Stone, forming endless Spirit Stone Veins; the other where the Spiritual Energy is not absorbed or fixed but is gaseous or liquid.

Spirit Stone Veins can be mined, as the Spiritual Energy doesn’t escape, whereas gaseous or liquid Spirit Veins rapidly evaporate into the air once leaked.

”Gaseous Spirit Vein, its quality is only considered Lower Grade.”

Carson Flores uttered an ”Oh,” his tone slightly regretful.

Gaseous Spirit Veins are far inferior to liquid ones. Just think, how much Spiritual Energy is needed to condense into a drop of Spiritual Liquid?

A Liquid Spirit Vein’s effect is at least ten, even dozens of times that of a Gaseous Spirit Vein!

Of course, Spirit Veins are already incredibly difficult to form, let alone Liquid Spirit Veins.

Lower Grade Spirit Veins represent inferior purity and quantity of Spiritual Energy, comparable to a natural gas field in the world, with insufficient gas purity and low reserves, not of good quality.

Carson Flores finally understood why the Heavenly Alliance chose Black Thunder Sect as their foothold, and began to ponder if he could seize this opportunity to get a share.

No matter how inferior, it’s still a Spirit Vein!

Spirit Veins provide an extreme boost to Cultivators, especially for someone like Carson Flores, whose strength isn’t yet formidable, merely at Earth Immortal level. Cultivating with a Spirit Vein would yield terrifying efficiency.

”How many Heavenly Alliance experts are on the mountain now, and what’s the situation over at the Spirit Vein?”

Byron James replied: ”The Formation at the Spirit Vein can only allow five people to cultivate simultaneously, so after the Formation was built, they take turns, rotating every three months...”

Carson Flores’ eyes suddenly brightened.

Was there an opportunity here?
