Chapter 29 Spiritual Spring
After confirming that he wasn't mistaken, Lin Que pointed to a spot and said to the dejected Li Yao, "Look! Doesn't that look like a door?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yao immediately looked in the direction Lin Que pointed, and after a moment she exclaimed in surprise, "It really is a stone gate."
"Let's go! Let's hurry over and take a look."
When Lin Que arrived at the stone gate, he found that if he did not look very closely, he could not tell that it was a gate at all. It was almost integrated into the cliff wall. Fortunately, there was an arched pattern to identify it.
After a brief moment of surprise, the two were left with only doubt: why was there a stone gate here? This was at the bottom of a cliff deep in the mountains, extremely eerie.
But unfortunately, there is no other way out at the moment, so we can only take a gamble.
Lin Que and Li Yao exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then used their hands to push against the stone door. Under their combined effort, the stone door slowly flipped over.
"Boom!"
Finally, after their efforts, the stone door made a sound and was successfully flipped open, revealing a deep, pitch-black passage.
Where does this passage lead, and who opened it up? Everything is so strange and mysterious.
Lin Que looked at Li Yao and joked, "Let's go, maybe we'll find our way out at the end of the passage. Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise."
"What's meant to happen can't be avoided."
After Lin Que finished speaking, he took the lead and went inside, with Li Yao following closely behind.
The moment the two stepped into the tunnel, the stone door behind them suddenly slammed shut behind them.
The tunnel instantly became pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, but in the next moment, two rows of lights lit up on both sides of the tunnel walls, extending all the way in.
Li Yao leaned closer to the lamplight and took a closer look, and she seemed quite surprised!
"It's an ever-burning lamp! What a grand gesture!"
"What is an ever-burning lamp?" Lin Que asked, puzzled.
Li Yao was not impatient and explained to Lin Que in detail: "The Everlasting Lamp, as the name suggests, is a lamp that can burn forever. Its wick is not made of ordinary materials, but is made of the hair of a certain high-level ferocious beast from the far north."
"That's not the hardest part. The hardest part is the lamp oil, which is made from the oil of a mermaid from the Nether Sea."
"Not to mention that the Nether Sea is far from the land of the Sealed Heaven Continent, the Nether Mermaids in the Nether Sea are extremely rare."
"A lamp made from these two materials will automatically ignite when it comes into contact with flowing air."
"I've heard that it can continue to burn even after ten thousand years."
Lin Que's eyes lit up upon hearing this! What excellent cultivation resources!
"Hey...hehe! So...does that mean all these ever-burning lamps are very valuable?"
Looking at Lin Que's greedy expression, Li Yao knew what he was up to.
“It is very valuable, but!” Lin Que was just about to get excited when he heard Li Yao change the subject: “Only unlit eternal lamps are valuable. Once lit, they can only be used at the location where they burned due to environmental factors.”
Lin Que looked dejected after hearing this, his idea failing, while Li Yao secretly laughed to herself.
The two then walked along the lit tunnel for an unknown amount of time before Lin Que suddenly felt a jolt of energy!
"What a rich spiritual energy!"
"Indeed, the spiritual energy is so abundant this time."
Li Yao also sensed it, and the two quickly headed towards the source of the spiritual energy, as the increasingly dense spiritual energy rushed towards them.
The two emerged from the tunnel and arrived at a spacious cave.
"It's a spiritual spring! There's actually a spiritual spring here!" Li Yao exclaimed in shock.
What appeared before the two of them was a pool of water emitting white mist, with the spring water in the pool still churning continuously.
"How...how can there be a spiritual spring here! This place is definitely not simple!" Li Yao was still in shock.
Looking at Li Yao, Lin Que asked curiously, "Is this spiritual spring very rare?"
After calming down, Li Yao said, "It's not just rare, it's practically something you can only dream of."
"The effects of the spiritual spring are self-evident. It contains abundant spiritual energy, and cultivators can accelerate their cultivation speed by being in the spring."
"If this spiritual spring in front of us were exposed, it would definitely cause a bloodbath and become the target of various sects."
"As far as I know, only the four holy lands and a few families among them currently possess spiritual springs."
"Moreover, and most importantly, a place that possesses a spiritual spring must also contain a spiritual vein that is even more precious than the spring itself!"
“Every spiritual vein is the lifeblood of every sect, but spiritual veins that can produce spiritual springs are extremely rare. It can be said that as long as the spiritual veins do not dry up, spiritual springs will be produced continuously, enabling the sect to cultivate more powerful individuals.”
After Li Yao's explanation, Lin Que finally understood the preciousness of the spiritual spring.
"The benefits of the Spirit Spring are not limited to this; it's also the best way to break through cultivation levels... Ah!!! What are you doing?!"
Before Li Yao could finish speaking, she saw Lin Que strip down to his underwear and jump directly into the spiritual spring.
“Ah~! So comfortable!”
The moment Lin Que entered the spiritual spring, he felt all the pores on his body open up, absorbing the spiritual energy within, which made him feel refreshed and invigorated!
Turning her head, she saw Li Yao blushing beside her and said in a cheeky tone, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come down and take a bath with me?"
Li Yao was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him. How could someone behave like this, be so... vulgar in front of a woman!
However, Lin Que, who was born on Blue Star, didn't care about any of that. In their swimming pools or by the sea, everyone did the same thing, as long as they weren't showing anything they shouldn't have.
Lin Que hummed a tune as he comfortably soaked in the spiritual spring, which annoyed Li Yao!
"Come down. If you miss this spiritual spring, you won't be able to soak in it again. You can come down with your clothes on; I'm not looking at you anyway," Lin Que advised again.
Hearing Lin Que's words, Li Yao became conflicted. From birth to the present, she had never bathed in a spiritual spring with a man. In the sect, there was not even a male disciple, let alone a man.
Under Lin Que's repeated persuasion, Li Yao's heart began to waver.
Forget it! I don't care anymore. We're just cultivating together in the spiritual spring. I won't lose a single piece of my flesh. Besides, I'm wearing clothes. I definitely won't let this bastard take advantage of me in the slightest.
Having made up her mind, Li Yao took out a jade box from her bosom and slowly opened it.
"Huh? The Resurrection Grass, you haven't used it yet?" Lin Que asked in surprise, looking at the jade box that Li Yao had opened.
When Li Yao saw that Lin Que recognized the Resurrection Grass, she asked in surprise, "Hmm? You also recognize the Resurrection Grass?"
Lin Que said, "Of course, I was the one who put this Soul-Returning Grass up for auction, how could I not know? Besides, I was also at the venue that day."
Li Yao never expected it to be such a coincidence. It turned out that the owner of this Resurrection Grass was Lin Que. It seems that this bastard is not simple either, being able to obtain such a rare item as the Resurrection Grass.
"By the way, if I may ask, what do you need the Resurrection Grass for?"
"Also, before the auction started, I was walking and got distracted for a moment and bumped into you without noticing. Logically speaking, with your strength, you shouldn't have been unable to dodge me, right?" Lin Que asked curiously.
Hearing Lin Que say this, Li Yao realized that the person who bumped into her on the road that day was also this bastard. She had thought he was a hooligan and almost wanted to hit him.
But then he thought again, something's not right. He was clearly wearing all black and hadn't even shown his face, so he gave up.
It seems I really do have a connection with this bastard.
