《Overlord in Cultivation》37. The Treasure Cave
Advertisement
“Remember my communicator and don’t forget to give me your address after you choose your residence. I will visit you a few days later.”
After saying that, Yi Yuan, who had bronzed skin, left with his hair in a mess, and his rough face indicated he must have experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Su Yan was astonished because Yi Yuan seemed so irresponsible!
Su Yan felt strange because people around him all looked at him oddly.
Finally, Jing Yanghui could not help laughing loudly, and Tao Tianhua nearly laughed his head off!
“Su Yan is insane!”
Fan Hong, who always wanted Su Yan to be his student, shook his head with helplessness in his eyes. But Su Yan had chosen his mentor and he could not shamelessly force Su Yan to accept him!
“Unexpectedly, Su Yan chose Yi Yuan, who has no teacher title, to be his mentor. It was said that Yi Yuan did not have any disciples since he entered the college.” Many senior students were shocked.
“Yi Yuan is one of the senior teachers in the college. I wonder that how he became a teacher without breaking through to the Destiny Spring Realm, but luckily, he got a body-refining manual.”
“Didn’t Su Yan learn more about Yi Yuan in advance? It’s so irresponsible for him to choose his mentor rashly!”
It was difficult for students in Huaxia College to believe that Yi Yuan could be so unimpressive in the college.
And no one had expected that Su Yan would choose Yi Yuan as his mentor, and Yi Yuan accepted him!
The discussions around Su Yan made him frown. Yi Yuan could create Form-Intention Boxing, so how could he be good for nothing? He was definitely a great master of martial arts!
But what made Su Yan surprised was that Yi Yuan was still one of the Awoken who had not stepped into the Destiny Spring Realm. He wondered whether Yi Yuan also mastered a powerful body-refining manual.
According to the Incipient Scripture, one was able to become powerful by this manual even though he failed to break through to Destiny Spring Realm.
The Incipient Scripture aimed at physical body, but it didn’t involve the method of opening Destiny Spring. Su planned to find out the method in the Scripture Pavilion of the college.
“Come on. Just live with me.”
Bai Xingyuan drew Bai Mengying away in a hurry. Although perfect came from individual cultivation, how far could Su Yan reach without a professional mentor? Also, he was bound by lots of troubles. Originally, he had thought highly of Su Yan, but now he didn’t.
“Is my mentor really so incompetent?”
Su Yan frowned and shook his head, “Given that Mr. Yi could create Form-Intention Boxing, he must be a real master of martial arts. How many mentors in the college can do that?”
Ignoring the gossip around him, Su Yan walked to the summit of Dragon-hidden Mountain.

Core disciples were accommodated well on the mountain. The remaining large accommodations were scarce.
Many newcome core disciples had rushed upward. After all, they had three months to enjoy. No one could avoid expecting a dwelling with abundant essence.
“It’s Dragon Totem!”
As Su Yan chose his dwelling, his eyelids twitched slightly and the Dragon Totem suddenly emitted heat, starting to guide him.
Su Yan felt pleasantly surprised. Until now it occurred to him that Dragon Totem might be able to react to the places with abundant essence.
He walked into the mountain with silence. The mountain was large, where clouds and fog were surging and sunlight was radiating, and courtyards, one after another, were permeated by natural essence.
He had already rushed to the innermost place, where houses were relatively fewer and even the natural essence was insufficient.
“What’s wrong with Su Yan? He has chosen a less qualified mentor. Now he even plans to give up a cozy dwelling?”
“He knows himself well enough. Anyway, he can challenge those students who live in a preferable place to change his residence after three months. These senior students all pay close attention to us, so it is better to choose a small house.”
The spirit power of Su Yan was formidable. Hearing that, Su Yan laughed, “You guys know nothing. Is there any good place with abundant essence which cannot be discovered by Dragon Totem? I guess I can use it to find a Dragon Vein!”
“Here it is!”
Su Yan reached the destination where grew a grove of bamboos. It was a quiet place. There was a courtyard on the edge of the bamboo grove.
Although the dwelling was not big, the building materials were hard ores, which made the house much firmer than the jerry-built constructions centuries ago.
Su Yan removed the sign which said “uninhabited”, then he pushed the door open and stepped into the yard.
The house was about 60 square meters which was big enough for him, including a living room, a dining room and a bathroom.
“The natural essence is not as much as that in other places.”
Su Yan looked around and focused on the living room. He walked into the room and closed the door!
“This is the place where the Dragon Totem was guiding me!”
Su Yan took a deep breath to refrain from being too excited. He began to search feverishly and carefully, “Even if there was no Dragon Vein, could it be possible to find a mineral vein and mine millions of the Essence Stones?”
It would be horrible if people knew his words since there were no more than thousands of Essence Stones on the earth now.
Su Yan searched for a while. Then he squatted seriously and looked at the clean floor, muttering, “Is it under the floor?”
After thinking for a moment, Su Yan pounded the floor heavily with his fists.

This punch broke the floor, and even the mud layer began to crack. How powerful the punch was! He punched three times and the mud layer almost collapsed!
“What’s that?”
Su Yan was astonished and gazed at the scene with his eyes open widely. Meanwhile, like an earthquake, the mud layer began to undulate.
Furthermore, the whole building began to shake. It seemed that the house would fall as something was going to burst out from the ground at any time!
“Buzzing!”
Suddenly, thousands of dazzling lights, like lightning, shoot out from the mud layer one after another and poured out tremendous life essence.
“Shit!!” Su Yan cried out. Once the divine energy leaked out, it would definitely attract all the students in the Dragon-hidden Mountain. He was not strong enough to hold this divine place by himself!
“Boom!”
It was too late for Su Yan to stop it. The floor had collapsed. The vast energy fluctuated, forming a pillar of light like a rising dragon to break through the roof and rush to the sky!
“Ang!”
At that moment, the Dragon Totem revived suddenly. It burst into thousands of golden lights. And the dragon on the Dragon Totem rose and gulped the dragon-shaped essence from the underground entirely in a moment!
The dragon was getting bigger visibly, soaring in the sky. A few moments later, it settled back to Su Yan’s arm.
Su Yan gazed at the scene. He was shocked again that the Dragon Totem burst automatically!
Then, he saw a burrow. It seemed liked a subsidence area. Inside the burrow, the space was filled with the natural essence which looked like sea waving up and down. Moreover, the abundant and thick natural essence was almost liquefied!
Undoubtedly, it was a treasure cave of a Dragon Vein!
This was the most important place for a Dragon Vein, in which, the natural essence converged. There could not be only one treasure cave!
Su Yan opened the treasure cave and the natural essence poured forth.
Fortunately, the Dragon Totem just burst out and absorbed the fierce energy. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
The Dragon Totem changed, too. Absorbing a great deal of energy, the totem seemed to be alive with a sense of immemorial desolation, as if it could tread on clouds.
Su Yan stared at the totem on his arm. He felt the terrible verve of a real dragon. It was really a breath of a beast king, the most sovereign beast!
“The Dragon Totem becomes scarier. It is full of verve!”
Su Yan took a deep breath, “What kind of treasure is the Dragon Totem on earth? And the treasure cave…?”
Su Yan looked at the treasure cave. Surrounded by the natural essence, it seemed like a Dragon-cultivating pool. The abundant natural essence gushed out of the treasure cave with wisps of golden light, and the golden light could be Dragon Vein Qi!
What a cave paradise! Those golden students couldn’t be treated like this, but Su Yan found it by good luck!
“Hah Hah Hah!”
Su Yan laughed. He was so delighted because he saw countless Innate Liquid inside the treasure cave, besides the Dragon Vein!
“Oh my gosh! It really feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck!”
He couldn’t help laughing. There was inexhaustible Innate Liquid inside., since the treasure cave was a place to breed Innate Liquid indeed!
As a drop of Innate Liquid was equal to one hundred thousand Huaxia coins, the wealth in the cave was stupendous. It might cause a great sensation.
Su Yan was happy but anxious. What should he do next? It was impossible to hold such a great deal of treasure. Once the information spread abroad, he had to hand the treasure cave over.
“Rat-tat!”
Su Yan was shocked by the sudden knock on the door. He became quite nervous like a cat on hot bricks, “Damn! Has it been discovered? What should I do? I have to hand it over if Huaxia College knows it!”
He didn’t know what to do for a moment.
“Rat-tat! Rat-tat! Rat-tat!”
Since the knock on the door became more and more urgent, Su Yan had no choice but to answer the door. Because of nervousness, he even forgot to have a look with his spirit. He closed the door of the living room and opened the front door.
“What’s wrong with you? Why does it take you so long to open the door?”
Outside the door stood a young girl with an irritated face. “Do you know how long I’ve been waited?! What were you doing?” She asked tartly.
Su Yan frowned, “Who are you?” He wondered why the girl was so irritable. A gentleman should have good manners, so he didn’t say more.
“Well, I’m the steward of the Dragon-hidden Mountain! This is your chest. There are your clothes and something Elder Liang asked me to give to you,” said the girl.
Then, she turned and went away, as if she was unwilling to talk with Su Yan any more.
Su Yan was surprised to be dumb. Why this factotum was that arrogant?
“That guy offended Tao Tianhua and became a student of Yi Yuan. What can he accomplish in the future? Let me serve him? Daydream! It’s better to serve Teng Yingjie and Zuo Wenyao!” Chang Lengyu murmured.
However, Su Yan’s spirit heard all of her words.
He was stunned for a moment. Scratching his head, he wondered, “What the hell?! How dare she despise me?”
With a shame! Su Yan threw the chest into the room and closed the door as quickly as he could.
