"Follow me. Don't use any energy, and don't let go of my hand."
Wen Xinzhao led Chen Lin by the hand across the grass.
"I want to recreate what happened when Goddess Xitina came here, changing as little as possible to avoid any unpredictable dangers."
"You've thought this through carefully, Senior."
Chen Lin wholeheartedly agreed.
"We'll follow this stretch of grass straight ahead and drink the spring water at the Spring Eye first."
Wen Xinzhao explained as they walked.
"After drinking the spring water, we'll go to the Triangular Building to retrieve a treasure. Once we have it, I'll take you to try collecting the formation-type treasures outside. That was the sequence I followed back then."
"I'll follow your lead, Senior."
Chen Lin offered no opinions.
Whatever she told him to do, he would do.
Her reasoning made sense, too.
Despite the peaceful surroundings, one wrong step might turn everything into a raging storm.
The safest approach was to follow the previous route.
Like a couple, the two strolled hand in hand across the verdant grass.
Neither harbored any romantic feelings, however. Both concentrated fully on observing their surroundings.
Even a passing breeze made them stop warily.
This space was vast, considerably larger than the Mysterious Domain in the Inner World. They had walked for nearly an hour, yet the Spring Eye remained far away.
They had, however, reached the first building.
Chen Lin studied it closely.
It was an ancient-style small building with three stories, constructed entirely from a golden substance.
It was dazzling.
A golden fence enclosed a small courtyard around the building, filled with golden flowers and grass.
There was also a golden well in the courtyard.
The entire area gleamed gold, as though fashioned from solid gold.
"This represents the metal element among the five elements."
