My spiritual eye has three levels. After advancing, it doesn't grant any special abilities but allows me to perceive more. For instance, the "poisonous snake coiling the waist" couldn't be detected with the first level, but the second level reveals it. Currently, I can barely activate the second level, and can't maintain it for long. Moreover, it feels as if needles are constantly piercing my eyes, causing unbearable pain.
Upon locating the approximate position of the black dragon's tail, I quickly closed my spiritual eye. At some point, Huang Jiu had perched on Su Dazhuang's shoulder, guiding him to follow me while vividly explaining the "poisonous snake coiling the waist":
"Old man, the so-called 'poisonous snake coiling the waist' involves burying a venomous snake at the three critical points of the grave mound. The snake's venom seeps into these points, contaminating the bones and forming toxic energy, which harms future generations."
Su Dazhuang turned pale upon hearing this, his eyes reflecting contemplation, likely pondering who might wish him harm.
Huang Jiu continued, "The three critical points are the Blood Gate, Bone Gate, and Heaven Gate. The Blood Gate represents bloodline, the Bone Gate can be understood as DNA, and the Heaven Gate signifies fortune. Think about it, if your ancestors' bloodline, DNA, and fortune are all tainted with poison, how could things go well?"
Su Dazhuang seemed confused and somewhat skeptical but responded with a noncommittal "hmm." He likely knew that if he didn't respond, Huang Jiu would keep pressing. As for Huang Jiu's motives, it was probably just angling for a free steak.
However, Huang Jiu wasn't entirely wrong. In grave feng shui setups, the core lies in the three critical points. Without locating these points, even burying a nuclear power plant wouldn't have any effect.
I searched for over fifty meters and stopped in front of a depression in the land. Huang Jiu, upon seeing me turn back, exclaimed in surprise, tugging at Su Dazhuang's hair and pointing at me:
"Old man, look! To help you, Little Li's eyes are bleeding!"
I had thought it was just tears, but upon wiping with my hand, it was indeed blood. It seems that forcibly activating the second level of the spiritual eye without sufficient cultivation has taken a toll on me.
I glanced ahead and said, "I've used the Blood Thorn to suppress the toxic energy gathered at the three critical points, but it won't last long. The three of us need to split up and search. In this depression, there should be a patch of crimson soil. Whoever finds it, shout out."
After assigning tasks, Huang Jiu leaped off Su Dazhuang's shoulder, and the three of us spread out in a fan shape, searching deeper into the depression.
About five or six minutes later, Su Dazhuang shouted. I hurried over. The depression had sparse trees but was overgrown with wild grass. However, in the one-square-meter area in front of Su Dazhuang, the grass had withered, revealing soil as red as cinnabar.
"This is it!" I frowned slightly, noticing some unusual aspects. Nonetheless, I took out a shovel, preparing to dig up the toxic soil to disperse the poisonous energy.
Just as I was about to act, a voice from behind said, "Little brother, if you dig here, the poisonous energy will disperse, but the dragon energy underground will surge out, causing earthquakes within a hundred miles. That's not a good thing."
I turned around to see Zhan Ling slowly approaching us. Even though she walked slowly, I was still concerned she might stumble.
Huang Jiu's eyes were fixed. Even Su Dazhuang was stunned; perhaps in all his years, it was his first time seeing such "abundance." But being older and more composed, he quickly regained his composure, his face reddening, and he was too embarrassed to speak.
In recent days, I've been checking Xiaocui's heartbeat every night, feeling that her size was appropriate. Having seen it once before, I was merely curious now, and my gaze quickly shifted away from Zhan Ling.
Pretending to be unaware, I asked, "Are you saying this place is connected to an underground dragon vein?"
Zhan Ling nodded... To be precise, she gave a slight shake, and due to her "abundance," her every movement was accompanied by undulating waves. The sight was dazzling, and I felt a bit disoriented. If that were released, wouldn't it smother someone?
Realizing I was getting distracted, I quickly refocused. The transformation of the poisonous snake into a dragon could only be due to the stirring of earth energy. I had noticed this upon arrival. However, the talk of earthquakes had nothing to do with me.
With my attention back on track, my mind cleared, and I asked Zhan Ling, "Why are you here? Could it be that the 'poisonous snake coiling the waist' is still on your bounty list?"
Zhan Ling walked up to me, stopping two or three steps away. But I was worried she'd push me, so I instinctively took two steps back.
"Hehe!" Zhan Ling couldn't help but laugh, proudly shaking her assets.
Huang Jiu had returned to my shoulder, stretching his body and neck, his eyes nearly popping out as he stared.
Zhan Ling didn't mind and asked me, "Little brother
