Ji Mingyue began to investigate the location where Zhou Yan had previously purchased those Origin Stones.
According to Ji Mingyue, the family's Origin Stone sources primarily came from several mines, with some also acquired from other individuals. It would take time to get a detailed understanding of the source of those Origin Stones.
Ji Mingyue mainly discussed the origin of Origin Stones with the two of them, which piqued their curiosity about where they came from.
"Does most of the Origin Stones in the Great Wilderness come from the few places you mentioned before?" Zhou Yan asked.
"They basically appear in these few large Origin Stone mining areas, but to know exactly where, we need to investigate further," Ji Mingyue replied.
Zhou Yan heard one of them called the Myriad Dragon Cave and then said to Ye Xun, "There aren't that many places. If we search them one by one, we might find something."
"Where do you plan to go first?" Ye Xun asked.
"Myriad Dragon Cave. I've heard there are true dragons there, and I also need something from that place."
As for the spiritual veins Zhou Yan needed, Ji Mingyue said with a wry smile, "Low-level spiritual veins can still be bought, but high-level spiritual veins are indeed not easy to obtain. Do you intend to go to the Myriad Dragon Cave to capture them yourself?"
"Exactly. Dragon Qi surrounds that place, and areas where Origin Stone veins can appear inherently possess many spiritual veins," Zhou Yan replied.
Ji Mingyue thought for a moment and still said, "That is a very mysterious place. I don't recommend you capture spiritual veins there."
"I've heard that many people have tried to move the spiritual veins there to their own sects, but none have succeeded, and that includes powerful cultivators at the Half-God level."
"The spiritual veins there are extremely bizarre, like true dragons. Those who dare to attack them are bound to suffer a gruesome end."
Ji Mingyue genuinely did not want the two of them to take risks, as many strange incidents had indeed occurred there.
The Myriad Dragon Cave, also known as Myriad Dragon Mountain, was the burial ground for countless emperors and powerful figures. This was because it housed ten thousand spiritual veins underground, each as formidable as a flood dragon.
Some even said that the spiritual veins there were formed from the souls of tens of thousands of true dragons.
Those who excavated Origin Stones dared not venture deep into the Myriad Dragon Mountain range, only mining in the outer areas, as the Myriad Dragon Cave was not a good place to be.
Whenever it was rainy, one could often see Yin corpses walking on Myriad Dragon Mountain. Each Yin corpse was extremely powerful, not something ordinary people could contend with.
After Ji Mingyue explained the situation of the Myriad Dragon Cave to Zhou Yan, it only intensified Zhou Yan's curiosity. He said, "Hearing you say that makes me even more eager to visit."
Ji Mingyue was speechless. She had described it as dangerous precisely to stop them, but they had become even more interested.
However, Ji Mingyue could not stop them, so she continued, "There are many tomb-robbing cultivators there, and countless caves, many of which were left by those tomb robbers."
"Many royalty and nobles hoped to ascend to heaven after death and bless their descendants. Although the Myriad Dragon Cave is dangerous, it is a place where dragon energy converges."
"However, the Yin energy there is also extremely dense. I advise you to make thorough preparations before going, do not rashly go there, to avoid encountering difficult-to-deal-with evil corpses."
"Evil corpses?" Zhou Yan asked upon hearing this, "Are these evil corpses very strong?"
"It depends. Some evil beings like to refine the corpses of all sorts of powerful individuals into evil corpses. Many are even backlashed by the evil corpses."
"There was once a Half-God level evil corpse that massacred hundreds of cities, causing the deaths of tens of millions of beings. In the end, it was destroyed by the combined efforts of over a hundred Half-God level experts, but dozens of Half-Gods still perished."
Ji Mingyue shivered slightly when she recalled this incident.
The Myriad Dragon Cave had too many nicknames, such as Myriad Dragon Mountain, Myriad Corpse Mountain, Devil Mountain Range, Land of Death, Myriad Tomb Mountain, and other unfavorable appellations.
Even knowing the perils within, people flocked there daily to search for treasures, and countless others wished to bury their deceased loved ones there.
Ji Mingyue spoke for a full two hours. Diao Chan and Zhen Mi listened with great interest, as if listening to a story. Zhou Yan and Ye Xun did not interrupt, gaining a deeper understanding of the Myriad Dragon Cave.
They also learned a lot about the surrounding area. However, Ji Mingyue also mentioned that she had never been there herself, and all these things were things she had heard. The specifics would still require them to explore themselves.
"Thank you very much. If nothing unexpected happens, we will meet again in ten days," Zhou Yan said.
"Leaving so soon? Why not rest for a day first, so I can fulfill my duties as a host!" Ji Mingyue said.
"Let's leave tomorrow then," Diao Chan said, looking at Zhou Yan.
"Then we'll talk about it tomorrow," Zhou Yan agreed.
They had no urgent business, so leaving tomorrow was the same.
"I'll go make arrangements. Wait for me a moment," Ji Mingyue quickly said.
Zhou Yan had purchased so many items from the Void Shop that he was a VIP of the entire shop and a distinguished guest of the Ji family, so he had to be treated with utmost hospitality.
Shortly after, Ji Mingyue said to the group, "I'll take you out for a stroll and also help you purchase some items that might be useful in the Myriad Dragon Cave."
"That would be good," they agreed.
Ji Mingyue led Zhou Yan and the others through Arrogant Heaven City, introducing them to various things and the powers behind each shop.
Furthermore, every time Zhou Yan entered a shop, it was a spree of buying, much to Ji Mingyue's exasperation.
The people in those shops recognized Ji Mingyue and specifically thanked her, leaving her feeling helpless. She was merely accompanying Zhou Yan on a shopping trip, who knew he would buy so many things.
The entire Arrogant Heaven City had gathered numerous super forces. Only very strong forces could establish a shop in Arrogant Heaven City.
"Isn't this Sister Ji Mingyue? Our Jiang family has recently received a batch of Origin Stones. Would you like to come and see?"
A woman, possessing equally striking beauty, outstanding demeanor, and a voluptuous figure, spoke to Ji Mingyue.
She was from the Jiang family and knew Ji Mingyue. Although they weren't very close, they had met many times and were considered acquaintances.
"Then we'll trouble you, Junior Sister Jiang Yu. These esteemed guests of mine will surely purchase many items from you if they find them suitable."
Ji Mingyue was well aware of Zhou Yan's financial resources and believed he would definitely purchase another batch of items.
After all, Zhou Yan had been buying things all along.
"Then I must entertain you properly." Jiang Yu understood that anyone treated as a VIP by the Ji family must have an extraordinary identity.
Jiang Yu also sensed the uncommon demeanor and aura emanating from the group and proactively led them into the Jiang family's shop.
