After an entire night of cultivation, Lei Yang had completely recovered. Early in the morning, Lei Yang walked out of the cave accompanied by the cry of a bird.
He looked up and saw another sunny day. The warm winter sun shone warmly on his body, making him feel incomparably comfortable. This valley was filled with mountains and verdant waters, making him feel extremely good. Especially when he thought about how he had a great harvest this time and how he felt like a rich man all of a sudden, he smiled shyly.
He made calculations with his fingers, it was still around ten days time to the Family Compet.i.tion, and it was obviously not possible to improve in terms of cultivation. However, he was already very satisfied, at least he no longer had to worry about being demoted to a medicine slave.
"Since cultivation has little effect and preparation is more like it, I might as well take advantage of this situation and go to a place. Perhaps, there might be some unexpected benefits."
Lei Yang transferred the Spirit Qi into the Shen Family plate, and the plate immediately released an intense light. Lei Yang then placed the plate on his forehead, and a map immediately appeared in his mind.
The map was drawn using his Spiritual Sense, even the mountains and rivers were drawn perfectly. In a valley, there was a light dot that was constantly flickering, Lei Yang guessed that it should be the location of the Spirit Spring Water.
Carefully putting away the jade slip, the "Cloud Piercing Steps" under Lei Yang's feet immediately rose up, his speed was so fast that it left an afterimage as he rushed towards the Spirit Spring Water marked on the map.
This was an extremely secretive valley. If not for the map's guidance, it would have been difficult to find. The entrance to the valley was extremely narrow, and the rocks on both sides formed a natural pa.s.sage.
The floor of the pa.s.sageway was not flat and was full of potholes. There were also many piles of rocks. Coupled with the dim light, it gave off a mysterious feeling.
The moment he thought about Blazing Demon Bears, Lei Yang became even more cautious. If he were to encounter an even stronger demon beast, he would have to turn around and escape at the first possible moment.
Lei Yang did not dare to rashly continue forward, and carefully released his spirit sense. Leaning on the rock wall, he slowly walked forward, after roughly three hundred meters, he arrived at the end of the tunnel.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a valley surrounded by mountains on all four sides. Surrounding it were steep rock walls. The entire valley looked like an inverted funnel.
Lei Yang estimated the area of the valley to be around three hundred meters, but the sky itself was less than a hundred and fifty meters. The terrain was extremely peculiar, and even though it was called a valley, it was more like a sky ditch.
Lei Yang stepped out of the tunnel and entered the valley. He couldn't help but sigh. Nature's supernatural works could actually create such a peculiar terrain.
The moment Lei Yang stepped into the valley, he could feel that it was filled with an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of dense heaven and earth spirit energy. The valley was filled with mist, had abundant vegetation, forests formed from ancient trees, and was filled with vitality from the old trees. In this midwinter period, when all living things were desolate, it was actually filled with dense vitality, just that this place was even more lively than the valley in the past.
He unconsciously raised his head to look at the sky, only to discover that he could not see the sky here. Above the valley, there was a thick layer of mist, completely covering the sky.
'Could it be that this fog can cut off the power of heaven and earth? ' Lei Yang thought for a while, and suddenly released his consciousness, he did not expect that after the consciousness pa.s.sed through the mist, it would be rebounded back by an invisible barrier, causing Lei Yang to suck in a cold breath.
He did not dare to rashly try again. He only dared to place his Spiritual Sense at the edge and continuously probed about. In the end, he found some clues. There was an invisible light barrier above the valley.
It was this barrier that cut off the power of Heaven and Earth, preventing even the slightest bit of the astonis.h.i.+ngly dense spiritual energy within the valley from leaking out. Furthermore, this barrier was the so-called spell formation.
His joy was that if it was really the cultivation land of an almighty expert, he might actually be able to pick up some treasures. Thinking of this, he shyly smiled, and the greed in his heart was instantly aroused.
What he was worried about was that if he encountered any living people or traps, he would probably die without a burial ground, making it difficult for him to walk out alive. For a moment, he hesitated on the spot.
However, who is Lei Yang? He looks like a coward, but actually he is shocking and fearless. He seems like an honest man, but he isn't... Seeing the wealth in front of him, he was very calm, but in reality, he was someone who could take away other people's trump cards. In short, he was not someone who was easy to deal with.
"No matter what, since we're here, no matter what the result is, we still have to go in and take a look. Otherwise, if we return without even seeing the spirit spring, it won't be with our own nature." After a moment, Lei Yang struggled internally. He straightened his back, mustered up his courage, and walked forward step by step.
However, along the way, aside from the towering trees and lush vegetation, there wasn't even a shadow of a soul to be seen. There weren't even any birds or beasts. Gradually, his courage grew.
The valley was not very big, so Lei Yang carefully walked for around an hour before arriving at the end of the valley. And right at the end of the valley, at the bottom of the stone wall, a clear pool of water impressively appeared before Lei Yang's eyes.
The water in the pool was clear and dark green. From afar, it looked like a dark green gem. The area was not big. It was only one meter squared, but the bottom could not be seen.
From time to time, countless bubbles would come out from the bottom of the water. After the bubbles were broken open, a white mist would rise up from the bubbles, causing a dense fog to surround the entire pond. This fog was not ordinary water vapor, but rather dense and viscous spiritual energy.
"Oh my G.o.d, this... Is this the Spirit Spring Water? " Lei Yang muttered. He was shocked and lost in thought.
The top of the pool was a steep cliff. Trees couldn't grow there, but under the nourishment of such dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, even the "lichen" on the cliff had mutated. It was extremely thick, and the surrounding trees were filled with vitality.
Lei Yang immediately understood why there was such an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of spirit energy in the valley. It was separated by a formation, and the spirit spring water in the valley was producing spirit energy.
It was said that in areas with dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, many demon beasts would occupy this place. Although the blazing bear had already been killed, Lei Yang was not sure if there were any other powerful demon beasts around, so he had to first probe.
Lei Yang hid himself behind the tree and fiercely threw a rock at the spirit spring. He then quickly hid behind the tree and gathered spirit energy at the spring, ready to escape at any time.
Legend said that the Spirit Spring Water was a G.o.ddess's tears that fell into the mortal world. After thousands of years of absorbing the purest essence of heaven and earth, it was also known as the Pond of the G.o.ddess. It was a rare treasure that could only be encountered by chance and not sought.
Not only could the water of the Spirit Spring Water temper the body, it could also increase one's cultivation. It was especially so for those who were heavily injured or in danger, as well as to remove hidden injuries from their cultivation … Waiting is very useful; it is a good place for cultivators. However, it only exists for a short period of time. At most, a year, or at the very least, a few days.
After jumping into the spring, he realized that the spring water was still warm, causing his entire body to relax. Wisps of spiritual energy entered his body, pa.s.sing through the bridge to the Qi Sea.
This feeling was extremely comfortable, as if his whole body had been baptized by spiritual liquid. Even the hidden injuries that were difficult to notice appeared clearly in his body and were being healed.
Just as Lei Yang was preparing to temper his body and raise his cultivation, a weak suction force suddenly came out from the Spirit Spring Water.
The suction force was like a mysterious summoning, causing the golden word 'seal' on his chest to move a few times, as if the mysterious dragon tattoo was struggling to awaken.
As Lei Yang was pondering, suddenly, another suction force came, causing the seal on his chest to throb even more violently. The mysterious Dragon Mark, gave off a signal that it was eager for Lei Yang to go forward.
If it was an illusion before, Lei Yang was sure that there was something strange underwater. If he guessed correctly, it had something to do with the mysterious Dragon Mark on his chest.
He hesitated for a moment, then he spread out his Spiritual Awareness and dove into the water. He carefully swam towards the bottom of the spirit spring.
