"Clan Leader, a Spirit Vein has suddenly appeared on the island!" a clansman burst into the main hall, his face full of excitement.
Li Shilian stood up abruptly, asking eagerly, "Where?"
Li Zhirui looked thoughtfully at this clansman; if he remembered correctly, this should be one of the only two clansmen who had contracted with a Spirit Seeking Beast.
Although Spirit Seeking Beasts were considered second-tier, they specialized only in locating things with exposed spiritual energy and lacked combat abilities. Consequently, very few clan members were willing to contract with Spirit Seeking Beasts. The Li family thus bred a few, merely ensuring their lineage would not be lost.
"It's beneath a small hill about ten miles east of Spirit Lake," said the clansman, somewhat uncertainly. "The spiritual energy there is denser than that of the two Spirit Veins in Spirit Lake and East Mountain, but it's not as rich as the spiritual energy within the clan's lands."
