The next day, Song Jiaqi and the other two recovered after a night of healing. Only Song Jiaying was still a little weak. After all, she was the weakest and most seriously injured person here. Luo Qingran decided to continue recuperating here for another day, and the next day he would let Anye take them out of the Broken Soul Mountains.

Luo Qingran placed the lotus in the jar in the cave, and the air in the cave was purified by the lotus over time. At this time, An Ye and Xiao Yuwan also surfaced from the deep pool in the cave.

"Master, I'll take you to see some good stuff!" An Ye said to Luo Qingran through his spiritual sense.

Luo Qingran knew that An Ye had been able to practice in this deep pool for a thousand years. Even the appearance of the water demon frog that made him extremely disgusted could not stop him from leaving. It must be because there was something in this deep pool that made him unwilling to leave.

At this time, Xiao Yuwan told Mei Zi the same thing.

Luo Qingran and Mei Zi looked at each other, then looked at Xiao Jichen and the other two who were still practicing and healing, and then jumped into the deep pool. As the two entered the water, Xiao Yuwan spit out a big bubble that wrapped them up, allowing Xiao Yuwan to take them to the depths of the pool.

What they didn't know was that as Luo Qingran and Mei Zi jumped into the pool, Xiao Jichen opened his eyes and stared at the constantly rippling water surface. He was unable to take his eyes away for a long time, and the image of Luo Qingran jumping into the water kept appearing in his mind.

Even when Song Jiaying, who had stopped practicing because of the sound of water, called him twice, he did not respond.

In fact, Song Jiaying had already discovered that Xiao Jichen often secretly watched Qingran. As a friend who grew up together, she naturally knew what Xiao Jichen's reaction meant. Song Jiaying lowered her eyes, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little.

The Song family and the Xiao family are both top families in the imperial capital. The two families have been friends for thousands of years. The younger generations of the two families grew up together and went out to gain experience together. She and Xiao Jichen were engaged since they were young by their elders. Now she sees that her fiancé's eyes are on other girls for a long time, and she feels indescribable sadness and loss in her heart.

Although her engagement with Xiao Jichen ensures that the relationship between the two great families can continue to be stable, which girl doesn't want to marry an outstanding man who is devoted to her?

Xiao Jichen is handsome and his ability is also outstanding among the younger generation. Song Jiaying often feels lucky to have such a fiancé. But what she saw today made her a little worried.

Luo Qingran was young, but she looked elegant and graceful, and had a sense of nobility and transcendence. People felt that she was unattainable, and she was definitely not comparable to those women with heavy makeup.

At this time, she was still young and didn't have these thoughts, but she always felt a panic that couldn't be stopped by Xiao Jichen.

"Brother Chen, what are you looking at?" Song Jiaying said.

"Ah? I was just watching what Sister Qingran and Sister Meizi were doing when they jumped into the pool?" Xiao Jichen replied quickly, with a hint of concealed panic in his tone.

Song Jiaqi knew Xiao Jichen very well. If he was honest in his heart, why would he be so eager to reply to him?

"Brother Chen, do you...like Sister Qingran very much?"

Song Jiaying is a straightforward person. She will ask any questions directly and will not leave any regrets in her heart. Xiao Jichen also doesn't like his friends to be hypocritical with him.

Xiao Jichen knew that since Jiaying had brought it up, she must have discovered something, but he did not answer directly: "They are both very young and powerful, but they don't have any family background. This can only mean that they are very talented, probably better than anyone in our imperial capital."

Song Jiaying nodded. She did not deny this. She was nearly four years older than her sisters Qingran and Meizi, but her strength was not as good as theirs, especially Qingran, which made her feel ashamed.

Considering that they were born into top families, they had never lacked resources for cultivation and had been living a life of luxury since childhood. Even though the elders in their family were very strict with their cultivation, they still grew up in praise.

"Yes, they have achieved their current strength entirely by themselves, which is really admirable."

"At such a young age, without any elders around to protect them, and with such strong strength, I'm afraid they must have suffered a lot along the way. I'm just feeling emotional, Jiaying, don't worry too much."

After saying this, Xiao Jichen gave Song Jiaying a gentle smile.

Now that the matter had been said and Xiao Jichen understood her feelings, Song Jiaying was naturally very happy and no longer hesitated. After saying something to Xiao Jichen, she continued to close her eyes and heal her wounds.

Xiao Jichen knew that he could not decide his own marriage, and he had known this since he was a child. As the young master of the family, he naturally could not act recklessly, and the responsibilities he would bear in the future would affect the entire Xiao family.

Since he enjoyed all the power and convenience brought by the title of young master of the family, he naturally had to bear some sacrifices. He was clear that it was impossible for everything to go according to his wishes.

Luo Qingran and Mei Zi stood in the big bubble, and followed the pull of the small fish ball to a passage. When they passed through the passage, Luo Qingran and Mei Zi were so shocked by the scene in front of them that they opened their mouths wide.

"It is said that dragons like to collect shiny treasures. Is it true?" Luo Qingran said.

At this time, they had already jumped out of the water from another exit of the pool. This place should also be underground, but the surroundings were not dark. Instead, a soft white light emanated from the stones on the wall, making the place look like daytime.

In addition to a pond, there is only a passage with no end in sight, and the passage is full of stones that can emit white light. The biggest difference between here and outside is that the spiritual energy here is very rich, which can definitely be compared with the spiritual energy in the space.

Dark Night said: "It should be the dragon race's innate hobby to collect treasures, but I have just been promoted to a black dragon, so I don't have this feeling yet. It's just that this is the only spiritual vein in the entire Broken Soul Mountains, and the spiritual stones on the wall are the byproducts of this spiritual vein."

"You said spirit stones are an additional item, then what is the source of the spirit veins?" Mei Zi grasped the key point of An Ye's words.

"Follow me and we will see the source." Dark Night took the lead.

Luo Qingran and Mei Zi followed An Ye as they walked deeper into the tunnel, occasionally touching the stones that were emitting white light with their hands.

"An Ye, are these stones emitting white light the spiritual stones that people outside are talking about?" Luo Qingran asked.

"Yes, these are low-grade spirit stones. If the source was not wrapped in demonic energy, the light emitted by these low-grade spirit stones would be brighter."

"It's a pity that we don't know how to use spirit stones to practice, but some formations require spirit stones to maintain."

"I heard that people on the Tianxuan Continent all use spirit stones to practice, and most of the spirit stone mines there are of medium and high quality. There are also top-quality spirit stones, but in small quantities."

"You talk as if you've been to Tianxuan Continent!" Mei Zi said.

“Well, I really haven’t been there, but after I was promoted to a divine beast and transformed into a dragon, many more things about the dragon race popped up in my mind, so I know.”

"Didn't you upgrade from a Jiaolong to a dragon? Why did you get the inherited memory of the dragon clan? Is there actually dragon blood in your body?" Luo Qingran asked.

"I'm not too sure either. It's just that I have just been promoted to a one-star divine beast, and not much appears in my mind yet. Maybe it will become more and more detailed in the future." An Ye shook his head in confusion.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Luo Qingran, Mei Zi, Anye and Xiao Yuwan finally arrived at a slightly larger space. This place was completely different from the passage they had just been in. The entire space was filled with black mist.

Through the dense black fog, they saw a large stone emitting a faint blue color on the innermost wall of this space. However, the surface of this stone was wrapped in a more dense black gas, which was attached to the surface of the stone like a substance.

Luo Qingran frowned as she looked at the big stone. At this moment, Xiaofu's excited voice came into her mind: "Sister, this is a very precious spiritual marrow. Only where there is spiritual marrow can spiritual veins be generated. It is extremely rare in this Qianming Continent."

Luo Qingran said with a slightly regretful tone: "It's a pity that the surface of this stone is covered with such a thick layer of demonic energy. It's really a pity. I'm afraid it will no longer produce spiritual energy to give birth to spiritual stones in the future."

"How could that be? As long as sister uses your wood spirit breath to purify it, won't it be restored to its original state?" Xiao Fu said.

"Oh, right. How could I have forgotten about this?" Luo Qingran said as he transferred the wood spirit energy in his dantian to his hands. He slowly placed his hands on the spiritual marrow. The demonic energy that had originally wrapped the spiritual marrow instantly dissipated without a trace. Even the demonic energy that gathered in this space began to gradually decrease until it disappeared.
