Qi Zhiheng's attention returned to the source: "Can we take this Soul Purification Water with us?"

Yuehua stopped Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian, who were itching to get the bottles to fill with water: "Don't move for now. The Soul Purification Water here was placed here by someone."

Qi Zhiheng thought to himself, "Isn't it obvious? How can something born of nature spew out from the mouth of a stone sculpture?"

Yuehua continued, "Since it was done by humans, there must be something here that makes the spring water that gushes out from here become the Soul Purification Water."

"What do you mean, senior?" Qi Zhiheng asked.

The Moon Beast said, "I suspect that the source can produce Soul Purification Water because of the existence of the Soul Purification Pearl. You should go to the source and take a look."

After hearing Li Xi go out to investigate, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian learned that if they had the Soul Purification Pearl, it could generate Soul Purification Water on its own! The two were very interested in investigating the Soul Purification Pearl.

At this moment, Qi Zhiheng did not dare to rashly extend his soul power and could only observe with his naked eyes.

Yang Yitian took out talisman paper and talisman brush and drew a Thousand-Mile Eye Talisman: "Use this to see." After he finished speaking, he pasted the talisman on Qi Zhiheng's body.

The moment Qi Zhiheng affixed the talisman to his body, his eyes flashed with blue light, and his vision broadened considerably. He could also see things he normally couldn't. When he looked at the stone carving, his gaze pierced through it, revealing its internal structure. The source of the spring was actually underground. Following the original diagram, he observed further inwards. Below was a pool of flowing water, and on the stone wall of the flowing water, there was a white halo. Qi Zhiheng focused intently; presumably, what was enveloped in this white light was the Soul Purification Pearl.

The water source below is not close to the ground. To get the Soul Purification Pearl, you have to go underground. This is not difficult. You can use an earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows you to escape into the ground).

Qi Zhiheng originally wanted Yang Yitian to wait upstairs while he retrieved the Soul-Purifying Pearl from the ground, but after Yang Yitian affixed an Earth Escape Talisman, he followed Yang Yitian and used Earth Escape.

Qi Zhiheng originally thought that this was a tomb, so there should be some danger here, but after Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian took out all the things from below, they didn't see any reaction from the surroundings.

After the two reached the ground, they immediately entered the space. Qi Zhiheng placed the white bead on his face and examined it carefully. Yuehua interrupted, "Don't look at it! Observing it so closely, be careful not to be bewitched!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiheng immediately snapped out of his daze; he didn't want to become an idiot!

Qi Zhiheng asked awkwardly, "Senior Yuehua, how do I use this?"

Yuehua said, "Find a clean pool of water, fix this bead in one place, and after a period of time, the water inside will become soul-purifying water."

"Is the Soul Purification Water so easy to obtain? I rarely hear about such things outside." Yang Yitian glanced at the Soul Purification Pearl and quickly looked away. His willpower was no match for Qi Zhiheng's.

"Water that has been soaked can naturally become Soul Purification Water, but its quality is very poor. To make Soul Purification Water of good quality, it must be soaked for a long time. People generally do not sell Soul Purification Water, but let it continue to soak to become Soul Purification Water of better quality." The Moon Beast explained, "It is very difficult to produce Soul Purification Water without Soul Purification Pearls."

Qi Zhiheng immediately found a place some distance away in the space and used his earth-type ability to dig a large pit in the ground. This place could then be used as the territory for the Soul Purification Water.

After digging the pit, Qi Qi Zhiheng originally planned to use his water-washing ability to pour clean water into it, but he changed his plans afterward! There was so much soul-purifying water outside, why should he make it himself? The clean water he made wouldn't be as good as the soul-purifying water.

So, Qi Zhiheng left the space again and came to the stone sculpture. He used the earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape into the underground water and collect the water stored inside into the pit he had just dug.)

The Soul-Purifying Water in this groundwater had been soaking for countless years, accumulating a considerable reserves. Qi Zhiheng didn't stand on ceremony, directly taking two-thirds of it. Then, he entered his spatial dimension and placed the Soul-Purifying Pearl into the already full pool of water. After that, he simply let it develop freely.

He didn't touch the remaining Soul Purification Water. He had already received enough benefits. This was the territory of the God Slaughtering Sect. If he went too far, he would inevitably give people the impression of being greedy.

Before leaving, he filled a large bottle with water from the stream outside. These were not for his own use, but to be delivered to the sect as a token of his mission.

Now that we've collected everything, it's time to think about leaving the sect.

Qi Zhiheng had some ideas, but he wasn't sure if things would turn out the way he thought, so he said, "Let's go downstream along the stream."

Yang Yitian walked beside him: "You think the exit is downstream?"

"It's just a guess." Qi Zhiheng recounted what he had seen outside about the purified souls. He suspected that there was some connection between the streams in Liuxi Town and the streams here. Since those souls could leave through the streams, they should also be able to leave in the same way.

Aside from the Soul Purifying Water he had obtained earlier, he rarely saw any other spiritual objects along the way, and Qi Zhiheng paid no more attention to these odds and ends.

Qi Zhiheng quickly discovered something special about this place: the stream branched off in the middle section.

Seeing the two diverging paths, Qi Zhiheng didn't hesitate and chose the narrower fork. If he guessed wrong, he could always turn back.

The two traveled on a flying magical artifact, but they didn't actually go very fast. Qi Zhiheng was worried that any unusual occurrences along the way would be overlooked, so he didn't choose to travel too quickly. Instead, he observed the road and looked for a way out.

"Stop!" Yang Yitian called out to Qi Zhiheng.

Qi Zhiheng stopped the spirit boat: "What's wrong?"

Yang Yitian said, "There's a formation here. Let's go down and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhiheng stopped, and the two disembarked from the spirit boat.

Yang Yitian fiddled around for a bit, then said, "There should be an exit here. Let's get ready to leave."

Qi Zhiheng said, "Let's make a mark here first, so that when the sect sends someone over, they can find a way out."

Yang Yitian nodded and pointed to an ordinary tree, saying, "The exit should be related to this tree. Let's mark it by sitting on this tree."

Yang Yitian tied a sturdy red cloth strip to the tree, then placed his hand on the tree trunk and channeled his spiritual energy into it.

A black spatial vortex appeared above the branching stream. Yang Yitian shouted excitedly, "It really is the exit!"

He grabbed Qi Zhiheng's hand, and the two jumped out together.

In the blink of an eye, the two were back on solid ground.

Looking around, they saw that they were already standing by the stream.

"Have we come out yet?" Yang Yitian asked, somewhat puzzled, seeing that they were still standing by the stream.

Qi Zhiheng extended his soul power, and the feeling of being summoned by his soul was gone: "It should be one that has come out. If we go downstream, we should be able to reach Liuxi Town."

After navigating the route, Qi Zhiheng saw the place where he had fought the jellyfish before. After finding the way, they turned back to the original tomb entrance. The entrance was open, and two disciples of the Slaughtering God Sect were guarding it to prevent anyone from entering.

Upon arriving, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian immediately bowed and greeted, "Disciple greets Uncle Qi and Uncle Yang!"

Qi Zhiheng asked, "Why aren't you coming down the mountain?"

One of the disciples said, "Uncle-Master, we will stay here to prevent people from other sects from entering."

Qi Zhiheng nodded: "You don't need to guard it anymore. With so many things that happened in the mountains before, no one will dare to come up here in a short time. Now, not many people know about this place, except for the force that Sun Zhong belongs to. That force can send out so many Golden Core cultivators, so it won't do you any good to guard it."

"But, with the entrance wide open, isn't it unsafe?" the disciple asked hesitantly.

Qi Zhiheng said, "Yi Tian, ​​go and help build an array to hide this place."

"Alright!" Yang Yitian responded and went to set up an array. Afterwards, the four of them went down the mountain together.

The two disciples recounted what happened next. They released the victims back into the town, so that everyone there would know that something unusual had happened on the mountain.

After Wu Yinyin led her people down the mountain, she sent a message to the sect, informing them that other sects had intervened in this mission and that the place might be the tomb of a powerful figure. However, the specific details were still unclear, and the other sect had sent at least five Golden Core cultivators.

To prevent other sects from attacking again, and hoping that the sect could send more people to help guard the mountain, the sect sent one Golden Core cultivator and ten Foundation Establishment disciples to maintain order at two entrances at the foot of the mountain to prevent anyone from coming up.

Qi Zhiheng smiled and said, "That girl is quite thoughtful."

Yang Yitian asked, "Will that sect send anyone again?"

Qi Zhiheng shook his head and said, "The possibility is very small. This is the territory of the Slaughter God Sect. Those people dared to come up here before only because the Slaughter God Sect did not know the situation here. Now that the Slaughter God Sect knows that other sects have intervened here, if they dare to send people here again, they will really anger the Slaughter God Sect. However, there are exceptions."

"What accident?" Yang Yitian asked.

Qi Zhiheng glanced at the two Foundation Establishment cultivators: "Unless that sect's power is no less than our Slaughter God Sect, and they are completely unafraid of the Slaughter God Sect's attack, if that's the case, you two mere Foundation Establishment cultivators might lose your lives." This was also the reason why Qi Zhiheng had Wu Yinyin leave first. If the people from that sect discovered something was amiss, and they killed the other side's people, when the other side came up the mountain again, they would definitely kill the disciples guarding the gate without hesitation. On the contrary, if the other side was concerned about the power of the Slaughter God Sect, they wouldn't even dare to send out another batch of people.
