Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 240: Dragon Vein

"We are." Zhen Yuan chuckled.

"I can’t believe we got a dragon vein." Shen Xu exclaimed, looked at the swimming dragon, laughed, and then hugged his husband.

"I can’t believe it." He said.

"Believe it." Zhen Yuan said with a doting look.

Dragon veins were not like spirit stone veins.

This meant that one could not mine ’dragon stones’ or some other minerals from the dragon veins.

However, dragon veins accumulated luck and practising on or near them could influence a cultivator’s luck.

Whether it’s clearing bad luck or increasing good luck, these benefits were priceless for any cultivator.

"Luck." Shen Xu muttered and nodded.

Luck was the extra factor that differentiated equally gifted cultivators.

This was because a person with better luck would find better resources, advance more easily, and attract generosity compared to the cultivator with the poorer luck.

Thinking that he may now have the capital to challenge Xiao Weimin’s luck, Shen Xu suddenly laughed.

"Ayuan, let’s place the dragon vein on our mountain." He suggested and Zhen Yuan immediately agreed.

After all, he and Shen Xu mostly practised in their bamboo hut.

Since the hut was on the mountain, it was natural to place the dragon vein in the mountain.

Most importantly, the mountain was the centre of the Chaos Flame Space.

When placed there, the dragon vein would be able to affect the entire space and the beings living within.

After that, the two entered the space and directly went to the mountain.

Without wasting time, they placed the dragon vein in the mountain and prepared to leave the space.

However, before they could, the space began to morph.

Generally, fog would appear when the space was about to upgrade but this time was different.

Although there was fog, there was also a strangeness in the fog that was unlike an ordinary upgrade.

However, before the two could figure it out, they were expelled from the space and reappeared in the portable cave.

"What the hell?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but curse.

At the same time, he tried to re-enter the space to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, the space was completely closed and there was no way inside.

"It seems we are on our own for the foreseeable future." He sighed.

"It doesn’t matter." Zhen Yuan said.

Three days later, the two left the area and continued roaming the Endless Sun Desert.

Time passed and in the blink of an eye, it was five years later.

On this day, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu were sitting in their portable cave drinking beauty peach wine.

"I can’t believe the space hasn’t opened in five years. What the hell is going on?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but complain.

"Who knows?!" Zhen Yuan sighed and shrugged.

He was also at a loss.

After all, a space upgrade usually required days, not years.

However, he wasn’t worried.

Although it was a little inconvenient to live without the Chaos Flame Space, Zhen Yuan expected that the upgrade outcome would not disappoint them.

"I think we are almost out of the Endless Sun Desert." Shen Xu suddenly stated.

Zhen Yuan smiled when he heard that.

"We have gotten many things from the desert. It’s indeed time to leave." He said.

"It’s too bad we didn’t find gravity sand." The double said, his brows creased in a frown.

"Don’t dwell on it." Zhen Yuan advised, looking at the double with solemn eyes.

"Gravity sand is a priceless treasure but we can’t force fate. Since we didn’t find it, it means we have no fate with it."

"I know." Shen Xu sighed.

"Who knows?! Maybe we will find something better."

Another five years passed and the two finally left the Endless Sun Desert.

Unexpectedly, near the exit was a lake and Shen Xu immediately recognised it as the same lake where Xiao Weimin found his water element spirit.

’I don’t know if the spirit is still there.’ He wondered, looking at the lake.

However, he soon shook his head and denied the possibility.

’It’s been forty years since the Yunshan secret realm opened and the main protagonist has probably been here. It’s highly unlikely that he didn’t find the spirit.’ He thought.

That said, Shen Xu wasn’t too interested in the water element spirit.

After all, his physique and spiritual root were based on fire.

Even if he found the water element spirit, he wouldn’t contract it because it was neither beneficial to him nor the spirit.

"Ayuan, this is the crystal fish lake." Shen Xu said, pointing at the lake.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded while looking at the secret realm map.

Other than the water element spirit, the lake contained a kind of fish called blue crystal fish.

An adult blue crystal fish was the length of an index finger and the width of three fingers.

However, such a small fish was a precious body-strengthening treasure.

If prepared simply, the fish meat could not only clean the blood but also strengthen the flesh and bones.

Most importantly, when prepared with special spirit grasses, it could transform the blood, flesh, and bones.

"Ayuan, let’s fish here for a time." Shen Xu suggested and Zhen Yuan agreed.

If the space was useable, they wouldn’t need to sit around and fish.

Instead, they would dig a pit, and transfer some lake water and fish into the space.

Unfortunately, the space was still closed so they could only fish while waiting.

"Xiaoxu, do you have the spirit grasses required to prepare the blue crystal fish?" Zhen Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Shen Xu nodded but soon shook his head.

"I have them but..."

Zhen Yuan didn’t need to listen to the rest because he understood that the spirit grasses were still in the space.

"It doesn’t matter." He said and quickly continued.

"We can eat them simply for the time being."

"Good."

After that, the two set up their portable cave and settled near the lake.

When not practising, they would take a boat to the lake and fish while drinking tea or wine.

Two years passed in this way but their leisurely life was always doomed not to last.
