Outside the cave, the mountain forest was calm under a vast, clear sky. The dense fog that had once filled the woods had completely vanished.
Yi Beidou, Fang Xiuyuan, and Tao Zihong gathered in the forest.
"Although the great Dragon Vein has been slain and its pulse has been pacified, I still need to make some preparations upon its 'reverse scale' to consolidate the earth's Qi and facilitate future development," Fang Xiuyuan said.
Even though the great Dragon Vein had been slain, the aftermath involved many more steps; it was far from over. He wouldn't be leaving Cloud Prison Mountain anytime soon.
"I'll stay behind with my disciples to lend a hand and collect some relevant data while I'm at it," Tao Zihong added. He had no intention of leaving immediately either. An opportunity like this was rare, and he wanted to seize it to gather data and advance his research on the Qi of Dragon Veins.
"In that case, I'll be on my way," Yi Beidou said with a nod.
