"However, this Immortal Pool water was transformed by the Holy Lord's activation of the earth's spiritual marrow. It contains majestic life essence and pure spiritual power.
If you can soak in Immortal Pool, and use its power to warm and nourish the meridians, cleanse the chronic diseases, and restore Zhi'er's vitality, it will be of great benefit! Its effect is far better than any external panacea! It can even greatly shorten her recovery time!"
"Enter Immortal Pool?"
Gu Sheng looked towards the seemingly calm water.
He could feel the amazing energy contained in the water, but he also vaguely noticed that there seemed to be some invisible restriction around the water.
"Not bad."
Bai Yu nodded with a positive tone.
"Immortal Pool water is the essence of this place. As long as you don't get close to the core area of the seal on the other side and soak by the pool, there is no serious problem. This is also the most important reason why I insist on bringing Zhi'er in. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know how long it will take."
Gu Sheng It's clear. That's it. It's not easy to open the secret realm, and Immortal Pool is a holy place for healing.
Bai Yu is willing to take risks to bring his sister here for her injury. This brother-sister relationship is touching.
"It won't be too late."
Xia Furong said.
"Let's go to the manor to rest for a while. Miss Mengling needs time to recover from the consumption of activating the teleportation array. After that, we can split up. Elder Bai Yu can take Miss Bai Zhi to Immortal Pool to heal her injuries.
Pavilion Master Gu, Fu Rui, and Miss Meng Ling, we are responsible for cleaning up the spiritual bodies growing in the periphery and checking the reinforcement of the defensive formation."
No one had any objection.
The group of people walked towards the quaint manor.
The door of the manor opened silently, and the interior decoration was simple and elegant, spotless, as if the owner had just left temporarily. The air was filled with a touch of sandalwood, which made people feel peaceful.
Xiao Mengling hugged the bamboo slips, silently walked to a corner and sat down, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, recovering from the consumption of just activating the teleportation array.
Bai Yu carefully supported Bai Zhi, asked her to sit down on a cushioned chair, took out the elixir and spiritual liquid, and took care of her carefully.
Gu Sheng stood by the window, looking again at the sleeping figure on the other side of Immortal Pool.
Situ Qingfeng... and this mysterious secret realm, and the legendary Immortal Pool... I'm afraid this trip will not be that simple.
In the quaint manor, everyone took a short rest.
Xiao Mengling closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, recovering the consumption of activating the teleportation array.
Bai Yu was taking careful care of Bai Zhi who was breathing weakly.
Gu Sheng stood by the window, looking across the courtyard and landing on the foggy Immortal Pool, thoughtfully.
After a while, Xiao Mengling slowly opened his eyes and his breathing became stable.
Bai Yu also fed Bai Zhi a pill that warmed and nourished vitality, and the latter's pale complexion seemed to have improved again.
"It's time to go."
Xia Furong stood up and said.
Everyone left the manor and walked along a path paved with warm jade stones.
On both sides of the path, exotic flowers and plants exude a refreshing fragrance. The rich spiritual energy is almost condensed into substance, and there is a sweet smell in every breath.
Soon, an open body of water appeared in front of everyone.
This is Immortal Pool.
The surface of the pool is vast, covering hundreds of feet in size. The water in the pool is not still, but is surging slightly.
Every surge brings with it a rich aura, turning into milky white mist that rises up and spreads over the surface of the pool, shrouding the other shore in the distance in haze.
The water in the pool is crystal clear, and it can be vaguely seen that the bottom of the pool is not mud, but some kind of jade with a warm luster. Deeper, there seems to be strands of blue Spirit Light flowing, emitting extremely pure energy fluctuations.
"What a rich spiritual energy!"
Bai Yu Standing on the edge of this Immortal Pool, I felt that the pores all over my body were stretched, greedily absorbing this pure energy.
Xia Furong looked at the surging water, with memories and emotions in his eyes.
"This is Immortal Pool. Deep in the bottom of the pool, there is a rare seabed spiritual marrow connected to it. It has been warmed and nourished by the core spiritual veins of ancient Boundless Sacred Land for thousands of years. The aura and life essence contained in the water are far beyond comparison with ordinary spiritual springs.
Soaking here can not only greatly increase the speed of cultivation and cleanse the physical impurities, but also have a certain chance of entering a special 'enlightenment' state, which is incredibly helpful for breaking through bottlenecks and understanding the secrets of the technique."
She paused, looked at Gu Sheng, and spoke sincerely.
"Pavilion Master Gu, you have helped the Holy Court a lot, and you are the key to entering the secret realm this time. As a disciple of the Holy Court, I have the authority to take one person into the edge of Immortal Pool and soak for an hour once a year. If you are willing, I can give you the quota this time."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yu's body stiffened slightly, almost imperceptibly. He subconsciously looked at the weak sister beside him, his lips moved, but in the end he did not speak.
There was a complex look in his eyes, including concern for his sister and an unnoticeable... nervousness.
Gu Sheng's eyes swept over Bai Yu and the dying Bai Zhi beside him, and then looked at the Immortal Pool that was filled with alluring aura.
He was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"Miss Fuu's good intention, Mr. Gu understands it. However, the purpose of this trip is clear, it is for Senior Situ. Besides, Mr. Gu's cultivation path has its own way. Although this Immortal Pool opportunity is good, it is not necessary. The quota is precious, Miss Fuuo, so let's leave it to him."
Upon hearing Gu Sheng's rejection, Bai Yu's tense body relaxed almost imperceptibly. Although his face remained calm, the tension deep in his eyes had dissipated, replaced by relief and gratitude.
The look he looked at Gu Sheng was a little more sincere.
Xia Furong seemed a little surprised, but seeing Gu Sheng's firm attitude, he stopped forcing it and just smiled.
"Pavilion Master Gu Gaoyi. In that case, let's bypass Immortal Pool and go directly to the sealed place."
Everyone walked along the edge of Immortal Pool towards the other side. The water in the pool was turbulent and the mist was lingering, making the sight somewhat obstructed.
Gu Sheng walked in the team, his eyes sweeping over Bai Yu and Xia Furong seemingly casually.
Bai Yu's moment of relaxation and gratitude, as well as Bai Yu's subconscious nervous reaction when Xia Furong proposed the quota, were clearly captured in his eyes.
A thought emerged in Gu Sheng's mind: It seems that there may have been a tacit understanding between Bai Yu and Xia Furong.
The quota for Xia Furong was originally intended to be reserved for Bai Zhi.
If he agrees, it will make things difficult for Bai Yu. Xia Furong took the initiative, probably just to test and go along with the flow.
After all, bringing Bai Zhi in and letting her use Immortal Pool to recover is one of the most important purposes of Bai Yu's trip.
Gu Sheng knew it in his heart, but he didn't point it out.
He withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.
Although Immortal Pool is good, he is more concerned about the sealed Situ Qingfeng and other secrets that may exist in this secret realm.
At the same time, far away Central Continent, Myriad Elephant Imperial City.
As one of the most prosperous giant cities in the Central Continent, the streets of Myriad Elephant Imperial City are wide enough to accommodate ten carriages running in parallel.
There are many shops on both sides, towering buildings, cornices and brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, all showing a majestic atmosphere.
The streets are crowded with people, traffic, and bustle. The air is filled with the complex smell of various elixirs, delicacies, and spices, as well as a vibrant atmosphere unique to the big city.
Shen Qingtian, Gu Ningshuang, and Qin Yurou were walking on the bustling street.
They still maintained their ordinary appearance after the disguise, wearing ordinary coarse clothes, and blended in the crowd inconspicuously.
The shadow was like a real shadow, silently following them a few feet away, its aura condensing to almost nothingness.
"Wow! This is Central Continent! It is indeed much more prosperous than our Eastern Wasteland!"
Qin Yurou opened his eyes wide, looked at everything around him curiously, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Look at that building, it's so high! And the clothes of those people, the materials are so beautiful! And the cars pulled by those spiritual animals..."
Before she could finish her words, a voice with obvious ridicule and disdain came from the side.
"Haha, where did this country bumpkin come from? He looks like he has never seen the world. He really stains my eyes!"
I saw several well-dressed and arrogant young men standing at the door of a luxuriously decorated restaurant nearby.
The leader was wearing brocade attire and holding a jade fan. His face was quite handsome, but his brows and eyes were full of frivolity and arrogance.
He was covering his mouth and nose with a fan, looking at Qin Yurou and the others with disgust, as if they were dirty things.
Qin Yurou was stunned by the sudden ridicule, then his face turned red and he glared at the brocade-robed young man.
"Who are you calling a bumpkin?!"
"That's you!"
The Jinpao Master sneered, pointed his folding fan at Qin Yurou, and then swept over Shen Qingtian and Gu Ningshuang.
"And you! Three country girls, dressed in rags, shouting and yelling on the streets of this imperial city, it's really embarrassing!"
Several of the followers around him also laughed and agreed.
"That's right! Don't even look at where this place is!"
"Go back to your remote country!"
"Don't get in my young master's eyes here!"
Qin Yurou was so angry that he was shaking all over. He was about to refute, but his arm was gently pulled by Shen Qingtian.
Shen Qingtian looked calmly and shook his head slightly at her, signaling her not to be impulsive.
The brocade-robed young man saw that Shen Qingtian had a calm temperament. Although he looked ordinary after the disguise, his eyes were as calm as water, exuding an extraordinary bearing.
There was an evil light in his eyes, he closed his folding fan, put on a false smile on his face, took a step forward and said.
"Tsk, tsk, I am really blind. Although this girl is plainly dressed, her temperament... is really extraordinary!"
His eyes glanced back and forth between Shen Qingtian and Gu Ningshuang with unabashed possessiveness.
"Meeting each other means we are destined to meet each other. Seeing that you have just arrived here, I guess you have nowhere to stay. How about this? I have several other courtyards in the city with a quiet environment, which is most suitable for girls to rest.
As long as you nod your head and follow me from now on, I will ensure that you are popular and drink hot food here Myriad Elephant Imperial City, and you will never have to wear these rags again!"
As soon as he said these words, his meaning was very obvious, he actually wanted to take the three women as his concubines!
Shen Qingtian's eyes instantly turned cold! An invisible chill emanated from her body.
Gu Ningshuang also frowned, with disgust in his eyes.
"Presumptuous!"
Shen Qingtian The voice is as cold as a cold spring.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Oh? You still have a bad temper?"
Not only was the Jinpao Master not angry, but he became more interested, and the smile on his face became more and more frivolous.
"I like people with a good temper! Enough! Come here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two middle-aged guards with calm auras and sharp eyes walked out from behind him.
The temples of these two people are bulging high, and their whole bodies are True Essence restrained. They are both at the peak of the sect realm!
One on the left and one on the right, they vaguely blocked the escape route of Shen Qingtian and the three of them, pressing in with a powerful momentum.
"Please 'invite' these three girls back to my house!"
The brocade-robed young man waved his folding fan proudly.
The two guards had expressionless faces and took a step forward at the same time, pressing towards the three women with their powerful aura!
The pressure at the pinnacle of the sect realm is beyond what the three of them can currently contend with!
Shen Qingtian's eyes were sharp, and True Essence was instantly lifted from his body!
Gu Ningshuang and Qin Yurou are also ready to fight to the death!
At this critical moment--
A black shadow appeared in front of the young master in brocade robes without any warning!
Fast! Fast to the extreme!
The two guards at the top of the sect realm didn't even have time to react!
Bang!
A dull loud noise!
The frivolous smile on Mr. Jinpao's face instantly solidified, replaced by extreme fear and pain!
His whole body felt as if he was hit hard by a high-speed moving mountain peak, and his body flew away from the ground uncontrollably!
When the person was in mid-air, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, drawing a dazzling line of blood in the air!
His body hit the doorpost of the luxurious restaurant ten feet away!
The hard jade door pillar was hit and cracked into cracks!
The brocade-robed young man fell to the ground, with countless bones broken in his body. Blood kept pouring out of his mouth, his eyes were blurred, and only painful moans remained.
The whole street was instantly silent!
Everyone was shocked by this sudden change!
The two guards at the top of the sect were even more horrified, turning their heads suddenly to look at the black figure that suddenly appeared - a figure shrouded in black robes with an unfathomable aura!
Ying slowly retracted the fist he just punched. Under the black robe, his cold eyes swept over the two guards who looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, as if they were looking at two ants.
He didn't speak, but his silent killing intent made the two strong men at the peak of the sect feel numb on the scalp and cold all over!
"Mr... Mr.!"
Only then did the two guards react. They screamed and rushed towards the Jin-robed young man who fell to the ground. They hurriedly took out the elixir and tried to treat him.
Ying didn't look at them again. His figure flickered and disappeared again, as if he had never appeared before.
Only the deathly silence on the street was left, as well as the painful groans of the young master in brocade robes and the panicked shouts of the guards.
Shen Qingtian, Gu Ningshuang, and Qin Yurou looked at the scene in front of them and were shocked in their hearts.
They knew that Ying was very strong, but they didn't expect him to be so strong! The guards at the top of the Zong Realm were like paper in front of him!
"Let's go."
Shen Qingtian was the first to recover and whispered, pulling Qin Yurou and Gu Ningshuang, who were still a little dazed, quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared at the end of the street.
The shadow's breath followed quietly again.
The streets were dead silent.
The brocade-robed young man collapsed under the broken doorpost, with blood pouring out of his mouth and moaning in pain.
His two sect-level peak guards turned pale, and hurriedly took out the elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, but their eyes were full of fear, staring at the black-robed figure that disappeared in the shadows again - Ying.
