C1235 Spiritual Spring Pool
2This sturdy man looked like he had circled Lin Long twice, and the onlookers thought that he would definitely be able to defeat Lin Long in an instant.
But who would have thought that when he came to Lin Long's side, he would directly be grabbed by the arm by Lin Long and flipped onto the ground.
This kind of situation caused the people around to be stunned, because when Lin Long truly used his brute force, he did not have the slightest bit of skill.
The sturdy man stood up after falling to the ground in confusion. However, when he was prepared to rush towards Lin Long, Kong Yi immediately shook his head and said, "It's enough, there's no need to compete anymore."
In other words, Kong Yi had already recognized that Lin Long was an innate expert.
In the process just now, Kong Yi was naturally staring intently at Lin Long, but he realized that Lin Long's force exertion had nothing to do with Profound Spirit Qi.
Seeing this result, the disciple surnamed Gu was naturally unwilling, but what could he do? He could only watch as Kong Yi arranged for the rest to lead Lin Long and the rest towards Spirit Spring Mountain.
After another hour, they arrived at the top of Spirit Spring Mountain. At the center of the mountain, there was a pool about three hundred feet wide and long. The pool was covered with a dense mist, making the entire mountain appear like it was surrounded by clouds.
Beside the pool was a stone tablet with the words "Spirit Spring Pool" written on it. The three words were vigorous and powerful; it was obvious that it was written by a powerful expert.
Previously, when Lin Long was at the foot of the mountain, he could feel that the Spirit Spring Mountain was filled with spirit energy.
Along the way, Lin Long discovered that Spirit Spring Mountain was heavily guarded, and there were even Martial King Realm warriors walking amongst them.
But at the top of the Spirit Spring Mountain, Lin Long did not find any strong experts, which made him surprised.
However, Lin Long didn't know who to ask, so he could only conceal this question at the bottom of his heart.
"Alright, let's all make our wishes by the Spirit Spring Water. I'm sure everyone knows the rules." The Archaeopterygium disciple who brought them here said, "But I would like to reiterate one more thing, that is, you all cannot enter the spirit spring pool. If anyone enters the spirit spring pool, our Archaeopterygium will not be responsible for the consequences."
As he said that, the Archaeopterygium disciple walked to the side.
At this time, the mist above the spirit spring seemed to have thinned out a bit. Lin Long could see that in the middle of the pool, there was a stone crane that looked like it was searching for food.
In its mouth, there was a beaded milky substance. Water flowed out of its mouth, passed through the milky substance, and then fell into the pool.
"Young Master, that stone crane is at the spring." Young Master, that stone crane is at the spring.
"That milky thing is the essence of this spirit spring, called the milk of the spirit spring. I heard that if we mortals eat it, we will immediately change from normal people to Martial Master Realm warriors."
Lu Cai whispered at Lin Long's side.
"Is that so?" Lin Long nodded.
Even if Elder Lu didn't say it, Lin Long could tell that the milk was the essence of the spirit spring water. Every single drop of water that flowed out from the mouth of the stone crane would leave behind a bit of essence.
Of course, the Spirit Spring Water was not as exaggerated as Lu Cai had said. Ordinary people could become Martial Master Realm Warriors if they took it.
However, after an ordinary person consumed it, they would gain an incredible benefit. It was possible that they would be able to cultivate a cultivation technique and become a martial artist without any natural aptitudes.
As for martial artists, after taking the Spirit Spring Water, their strength would definitely increase a lot, with the lightest being the increase in their profound energy, and the most important being the direct breakthrough in their cultivation.
It could even be said that using this kind of Spirit Spring Water would allow one to achieve twice the results with just half the effort.
However, the Spirit Spring Water was definitely an incomparably precious item. It was likely that very few people in the entire Spirit Spring Sect would be able to consume the Spirit Spring Water.
Seeing the Spirit Spring Water, Lin Long was moved, he wanted to immediately activate his Spirit Spring and go take it down, but, he quickly restrained himself from thinking that, because if he moved, it would cause trouble, and would definitely attract Archaeopterygium's experts.
Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Long was naturally curious, that was why the disciples of the Archaeopterygium did not pay much attention to them, was he not afraid of them taking the Spirit Spring Water?
Before Lin Long could ask, Lu Cai already said from the side, "Young master, you must be curious why those people don't care about us, right?"
"Exactly, Elder Lu, can you tell me why?" Lin Long said.
"This is because the water in the Spirit Spring Water is extremely heavy. Walking in it is like walking with a thousand jin boulder on one's body and not being able to move at all. So, they are not worried that we will jump into the water to get the Spirit Spring Milk." Lu Cai explained.
Listening to Lu Cai's words, Lin Long understood why that person said that.
"Then, aren't they afraid of martial artists flying over and taking the spirit spring water milk?" Lin Long could not help but ask.
There were a lot of Archaeopterygium disciples around. If anyone had any ill intentions, they could fly over and take the Spirit Spring Water when no one was looking.
"Young master, I heard that even Martial King Realm experts do not dare to fly over there." Lu Cai shook his head.
"Why is that?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.
"Because I heard that this is the core of the Archaeopterygium's rune array, and this spirit spring is the core of the pool. The moment an unknown object flies over the pool, it would immediately trigger the Symbol Grammar Array hidden above the pool. Lu Cai said.
After pausing for a moment, Lu Cai then added, "Of course, it is impossible for warriors to find a way to get underwater, because the moment they enter the Spirit Spring Water, they will be sensed by the Symbol Grammar Array, whether they are underwater or on the water."
"Is that so?" As he said that, Lin Long used his mind to sense, and indeed, he discovered that the entire spirit spring was enveloped under a certain Symbol Grammar Array.
Just then, a bird suddenly flew towards the pond. A Archaeopterygium disciple near the bird subconsciously reached out her hand, but did not grab the bird, allowing the bird to continue flying towards the Spirit Spring Water.
This Archaeopterygium disciple did not mind, and only lightly said "seek death".
At this moment, the bird also flew into the pond. As soon as it flew in, countless runes immediately appeared above the spring. Then, they directly condensed into several sword Qis that hacked at the bird.
In the blink of an eye, the bird was chopped into pieces.
This situation caused quite a few people to subconsciously retreat. Only after the symbols disappeared did they rush back to the Spirit Spring Water.
As for Lin Long, he secretly frowned, he could see how strong the Symbol Grammar Array was. If it was a martial artist entering, the amount of sword qi released would be even stronger.
"Alright, Young Master, let's cut to the chase. I need to get some Spirit Water before I try to sense and pray for the Spirit Spring Water." As he said this, Lu only took a few steps forward and stood in front of the Spirit Spring Water. He then took out a bamboo tube and put it into the Spirit Spring Water in front of him.
Everyone who entered the Spirit Spring Water had a bamboo tube like this, and it was meant to bring the spring water back.
Although this spring water could not be said to cure all illnesses, it could be immediately removed after some ordinary diseases were treated with this kind of water. Thus, it was only natural to obtain the affection of the common people.
This was one of the reasons why they tried their best to enter this place.
Lin Long also scooped up a bucket of water. Once he picked it up, Lin Long immediately realized that the bamboo in his hand was extremely heavy, as if he was holding onto a huge rock.
Looks like what Elder Lu said earlier wasn't false, Lin Long thought.
After scooping up the water, Lu Cai and the rest sat by the side of the pool, murmuring something that they hoped the Spirit Spring Water would keep them safe.
Lin Long pretended to be the same as them, muttering these words, but in his heart he was thinking if he could get infected by the Spirit Spring Water's scent.
However, his expression quickly became unsightly, because he discovered that he couldn't get infected by the Spirit Spring Water's aura in such a way.
Only by circulating his cultivation technique beside the Spirit Spring Water for a period of time would it be possible.
However, with so many disciples around him, it was impossible for him to start cultivating.
Even if he was lucky and these disciples could not see it, they would immediately trigger a reaction from the Archaeopterygium's rune array.
What should he do? Lin Long could not help but frown.
Since he could not cultivate here, he might as well eat the Spirit Spring Water. Lin Long suddenly had this thought.
The Spirit Spring Water was the essence of the entire Spirit Spring Water, if one ate it, they would not need to cultivate to be infected by the Spirit Spring Water, and at that time it would not be difficult to sneak into the Archaeopterygium.
According to what Lu Cai had said and his reaction, even if he sent out his profound energy, he would most likely not be able to get the Spirit Spring Water because he would be surrounded by the Symbol Grammar Array of the Spirit Spring Water.
Since he couldn't fly over, then he could only go underwater, Lin Long thought.
To others, it would be difficult to take even a single step after entering the water, but to him who possessed the body technique, it might be different for them.
After confirming that he had to do this, Lin Long took advantage of the moment the Archaeopterygium disciples were not paying attention to him to sneak into the pond.
As for the surrounding commoners, they were all praying. No one would even notice him.
The moment he entered the pool, he immediately sank to the bottom. At the same time, he felt as if there was a thousand jin boulder pressing down on his body.
What made him happy was that the water was heavy and had the effect of isolating his spiritual will, which also meant that when the Martial King Realm warriors came to the side of the pool, if they did not poke their heads into the water, they would not be able to find a person inside.
At that moment, Lin Long quickly stepped forward. It was just that he found it hard to move his feet, as if they were filled with mud.
He had no choice but to stimulate his body technique to the limit, and after that, he finally took a step forward.
However, every step he took was extremely slow. In the end, it took him an entire hour to reach the center of the Spirit Spring Water, which was where the stone crane was.
It was a good thing that the Spirit Spring Sect had given him enough time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the time to stay in the water.
Reaching there, Lin Long raised his head and saw the Spirit Spring Water above him.
Seeing the Spirit Spring Water, Lin Long revealed a smile.
However, he quickly became depressed, because he was still 10 meters away from the Spirit Spring Water. Normally, this distance was not difficult for Lin Long, but he could not directly jump up to obtain the Spirit Spring Milk now.
It was because he couldn't jump up at all.
The only thing he could do was to climb up the rock under the stone crane until it reached a certain height before reaching out to grab the Spirit Spring Milk.
Fortunately, the stone underneath the stone crane was not smooth enough, otherwise Lin Long would not be able to climb up at all.
Climbing like this naturally required time, or at least the time for making a cup of tea. But now, Lin Long could only do this.
Just as Lin Long was thinking of ways to obtain the Spirit Spring Water, the entire Spirit Spring Mountain's Spirit Spring Sect's people were perked up, because they received the news that the Sect Leader would be coming to their Spirit Spring Mountain very soon.
Sure enough, after a short while, a tall and imposing middle-aged man came to the foot of the Spirit Spring Mountain. It was the Sect Leader of Archaeopterygium, Hu Yanming.
Hu Yanming immediately saw Law Enforcement Elder Kong Yi.
"Elder Kong, is it your turn at Spirit Spring Mountain today?" Hu Yanming asked.
"Exactly." Kong Yi nodded his head before asking curiously, "Why has the Sect Master come to the Spirit Spring Mountain today?"
"I'm naturally here to get the Spirit Spring Milk." Hu Yanming said, his face flashed with a trace of displeasure at what he had said.
"But now is not the time to take the Spirit Spring Milk." Kong Yi asked curiously.
Generally speaking, the best time to take the Spirit Spring Water would be in another month, because at that time the Spirit Spring Water would be suspended for ten days.
This way, he wouldn't need to spend too much effort to get the Spirit Spring Milk from Shi He.
"Of course I know." Hu Yanming frowned.
"Could it be that senior suddenly wanted it?" Thinking of something, Kong Yi could not help but ask.
"Of course it's him. If it wasn't for him, why would I come here at this time?" A trace of anger surfaced on Hu Yanming's face.
Seeing Hu Yanming like that, Kong Yi could only force a smile, because he knew that the senior was not someone they could afford to offend.
"Alright, I won't say anymore. Elder Kong, come with me." Hu Yanming said.
"Alright." Kong Yi nodded.
Then, Kong Yi followed Hu Yanming and the few people behind him towards the Spirit Spring Mountain.
Soon, they arrived at the peak of the mountain.
Seeing the ordinary people in front of him, Hu Yanming frowned.
"Sect Leader, should we let them avoid us first?" Kong Yi couldn't help but ask.
"No need." Hu Yanming shook his head, "Let them see the power of our warriors."
As he said that, Hu Yanming took out a black coat from his rune space ring s.
This was a Fu Wenjia, a Fu Wenjia specially made by the Archaeopterygium. Only by wearing this Fu Wenjia would one be able to avoid the Symbol Grammar Array's attack in front of one's eyes and safely arrive at Shi He's place.
Fu Wenjia would lose more than half of it after only using it once, and only the expensive ingredients and the few months worth of effort needed to repair the weapon were able to do so.
If it were not for the fact that senior Hu Yanming could not afford to offend him, he would definitely not have used Fu Wenjia, because that kind of waste was something that even the powerful Archaeopterygium could not withstand.
This old man! After cursing in his heart, he put on the black vest.
Once it was worn, countless runes immediately appeared on its body. After a few breaths, Hu Yanming leaped up and shot towards the stone crane.
