Between Ten Feet Square

Compared to the iron-like trees, the spiritual spring is clearly more alluring.

With Li Shaojun leading the way, the group, carrying the disabled Gongsun Hong, finally arrived at the location of the spiritual spring after an hour.

"I was thirsty at the time, and you know we scattered a lot of soul-summoning and soul-stealing powder in that hall, so we were covered in filth. I thought I'd drink and wash myself off, and that's how I discovered this place!"

The spring only has a small area, which is a pool about three meters wide, and water flows out and carves a small ditch that flows away.

Li Shaojun knew his limits; he washed himself in the ditch but drank from the pool, which remained unpolluted despite the washing.

"Lofty mountains conceal the heavens, secluded forests and deep valleys abound; treasures of land and sea are all contained within this clear spring!"

Gongsun Hong stumbled and lay down by the pool, then drank heavily.

His body, because it was possessed by 'Yao', was also defiled by substances such as the Soul-Guiding Powder.

Shen Daoren's four sword strikes caused him unbearable pain.

Zhang Xuezhou's forceful treatment using the Supreme Purity True Technique almost completely drained his body.

At this moment, after drinking a mouthful of spiritual spring water, Gongsun Hong felt boundless vitality bloom within his body once again.

Many of the hidden health problems in his body are gradually fading or even disappearing.

In that instant, a rosy hue even appeared on his face.

"This spring water is so wonderful, can't it all be used to break through to higher realms?" Zhang Xuezhou said with equal delight.

"That's only if we can drink it all," Li Shaojun said sullenly. "One sip at a time only has an effect; we need to keep drinking it!"

"It seems suitable for Ao Sheng!"

Zhang Xuezhou sighed and also took a sip of water.

After taking a sip of water, he felt refreshed and his body relaxed.

As Li Shaojun and others have stated, this spiritual spring water possesses Spiritual Qi and is absorbed extremely quickly, resulting in the healing of the body and the restoration of Law Power.

This inevitably made Zhang Xuezhou scratch his head.

I kept drinking water until my stomach was so full, but I didn't feel anything special in my head or brain.

This left him with no choice but to give up in despair.

"If he rests here for three to five days, Mr. Gongsun should be fully Wuyang!"

He glanced at Gongsun Hong, who was also full of water, and noticed that the other man seemed to have gained more strength and his complexion had become rosy. He then clasped his hands in congratulations to him.

"Since this secret place is unoccupied, I'll have to trouble you two to accompany me for a few days to recuperate," Gongsun Hong nodded.

Zhang Xuezhou's estimate was correct; it was indeed not something that could be done in a short time if he were to recover.

The reason is simple: the spiritual spring has brought wonderful benefits, but their stomachs can only hold so much water; even if they wanted to drink more, they couldn't.

"I don't care. I still need to see the tree. Besides, we need to find the exit of this secret place and use treasure-hunting magic to explore it. There are many things that will take time!"

Li Shaojun waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"If you two sail back while I am in a coma, I hope the voyage will be safe and you will not abandon me!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

"Of course we can't leave you behind. We still need your gourd to hold water," Li Shaojun replied quickly.

"Then I'll just fill it with some spiritual spring water!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He made a spell, then threw the gourd into the spiritual spring, letting it soak in the water.

Time stood still, and Zhang Xuezhou didn't waste any time.

This place is indeed excellent. Although his cultivation level cannot improve, the presence of this spiritual spring that restores Law Power allows him to advance many cultivation Technique Method.

"Gentlemen, are there no wild animals in this secret place?"

After drinking a lot of water, Gongsun Hong felt even hungrier.

Thinking about the next few days, he felt that drinking water would not be enough to satisfy his hunger.

"I didn't see it," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head.

"I didn't see any either," Li Shaojun nodded in agreement. "It's strange, this secret realm has no birds or beasts, I haven't even seen an insect!"

"It's all trees!"

The two replied in unison, looked at each other, and then looked at Gongsun Hong.

The complete silence might be something unusual!

It's normal to find no wild animals in the woods, but if you haven't even seen any insects, then something is probably unusual.

This secret place is full of life, but it also exudes an eeriness.

Gongsun Hong pondered his many experiences and observations, but felt that his own experience was insufficient to give a definitive answer, which prompted him to remind everyone to be careful.

"I'm not really interested in trees," Zhang Xuezhou shrugged.

"I took you to find the spring, you can't not take me to find the tree," Li Shaojun said. "I have plenty of Law Power now, I want to fly back and forth until my Law Power is exhausted!"

"I get the feeling you want to practice the Cloud Leap technique, and you want to see how I use it!"

Zhang Xuezhou asked in doubt, and Li Shaojun had no choice but to forcefully defend himself.

"You've even learned my Shangqing True Technique!"

Li Shaojun muttered something in frustration, which prompted Zhang Xuezhou to try and trick him with his Jade Purity True Technique.

"Let me learn all the techniques. Just in case you need them someday, you might even need me to use magic to save you!"

The Jade Purity True Technique can balance the different forces within the body. Dong Zhongshu was once deeply troubled by this, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could also learn it, since the forces within his body were very chaotic.

While his experience of reaching the Divine Ability Realm in reality is somewhat useful, it cannot be completely replicated. After all, his body is different from that in reality, filled with Demon Power, Law Power, and the Yang Soul condensed by the Venerable One. If the Law Power of Yin and Yang is added, it is undoubtedly possible that different situations will arise from reality.

Zhang Xuezhou went on and on, trying to persuade Li Shaojun.

"I'll give you half of the spiritual spring water in that gourd," Li Shaojun grumbled.

"No problem," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Even if we don't find the Pill Cauldron, you'll still look very impressive using this gourd filled with spiritual spring water to refine pills!"

You understand me so well!

Li Shaojun nodded repeatedly, indicating that this was his plan.

If Zhang Xuezhou cooperates, his trip can be considered a minor success, giving him some confidence to take advantage of the Great Han Dynasty in the future.

It doesn't matter if we didn't find the Pill Cauldron; the Great Han Dynasty should have had quite a few. But this Pill Cauldron that can spew out spiritual spring water might be the only one of its kind.

As for Zhang Xuezhou, he learned one Shangqing True Technique and is now seeking instruction in another Yuqing True Technique. Acquiring two Technique Method on this trip is not a bad deal.

After careful consideration, Li Shaojun realized that the trip seemed to have been quite successful, and not so tragic as to be unbearable.

Basically, everyone contributed their own efforts, encountered the opportunity of the spiritual spring, exchanged ideas with each other, and then found that everyone benefited.

"This is merely the abbot's spring water..."

"But the abbot?"

Li Shaojun sighed, and only realized what was going on when Zhang Xuezhou asked a question.

"Is this really the Abbot's Secret Realm?" Li Shaojun asked, regaining his senses. "Could the secret of Abbot Island be the clear spring within this Abbot's Abode?"

While chatting idly, the group realized the origin of the secret realm's name and understood that someone must have been to this area, and it even had a real name.

Without a water hyacinth like Zhang Xuezhou, even if someone discovers the secrets, they can't take it away and it's difficult for them to return to this mysterious watery area.

Thinking of the mark he Lower Vehicle Technique at Zixiao Palace, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he should also leave a mark after fully exploring the Abbot's Secret Realm.

If a water palace, which isn't even considered a secret realm within water, can be considered a favored place, then a secret realm within water is clearly even more deserving.

Having escaped numerous risks and entered the Abbot's Secret Realm, Zhang Xuezhou had to admit that the waters were indeed his home turf.
