Ye Xiruo controlled her body to slowly descend, and one vortex after another was rapidly churning.
That biggest vortex must be the senior brother, and the one not far away should be Yingxun.
I'm so sorry, Senior Brother! I'm so sorry, Senior Brother Yingxun! Once her spring is upgraded, I will definitely come here to repair the medicinal spring and make it a true medicinal spring.
The deeper she went, the greater the pressure in the water became. Ye Xiruo felt as if her whole body was enveloped in mercury, making it difficult to breathe, and her blood vessels, tendons, and bones were screaming wildly.
"Bear with it, consider it a form of body training." These were the system's exact words.
Since the medicinal spring had been open for several days, Ye Xiruo frantically absorbed its medicinal properties despite the pressure. If she were to look inward, she would definitely be able to see her meridians gradually transforming and evolving towards a perfect state. However, it's also possible that her meridians were originally this perfect, and she was simply recovering with the help of the medicinal power.
If you reach your limit, take out the best water-repelling pearl and hide in a vacuum zone to recover.
Time passed slowly, and all twenty people were immersed in cultivation, unaware of what year it was. If it weren't for the system's reminder, Ye Xiruo would have long forgotten that she had to do her job.
"Copy the medicinal spring first, but remember to be careful, don't forget that Senior Brother Yingxun has noticed."
"Fool, I'm replicating the medicinal spring, not stealing it. All it takes is a tiny drop of the spring water to break down its components and then perfectly replicate it."
"It's my fault for being stupid. Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
In the past few days, Ye Xiruo has thoroughly consolidated her late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. She believes that if she continues cultivating for another half month, she will definitely reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. As for Core Formation, it's still highly unlikely! For every genius stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage, there's another stuck at Core Formation, their souls scattered by heavenly tribulations.
However, isn't she the legendary illegitimate daughter of the Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Dao should at least go easy on her.
Clutching the water-repelling pearl tightly in his bosom, Ye Xiruo swam downstream like a fish.
This is already hundreds of meters below the surface. If it weren't for the water-repelling pearl, she would probably be crushed into a pile of minced meat by now.
The deeper you go, the stronger the medicinal properties become in the water. Even absorbing spiritual energy and medicinal power through the water-repelling bead is much more effective than absorbing them from above.
"How much longer?"
A person in deep water feels a chill run through their heart.
"It's just a few hundred meters down from here."
The system spoke so casually, yet Ye Xiruo nearly coughed up blood. A few hundred meters—what a tragic piece of news!
However, as she continued downwards, Ye Xiruo had no energy left to worry about anything else. The concentration of spiritual energy in the water was simply too high. She had to focus all her energy on circulating her cultivation technique to absorb and digest this spiritual energy in order to ensure that she would not be overwhelmed by the massive amount of spiritual energy.
Her cultivation level was also slowly improving, and she was about to reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Ye Xiruo was a little dumbfounded; it was so fast.
Actually, the reason it was so fast was twofold: firstly, the spiritual energy in the medicinal spring was abundant and pure, and secondly, her physique was naturally very suitable for cultivation.
"Strange, why do I feel that the spiritual energy in the spring water has decreased?"
"What's so strange about that? We've been absorbing it for days now. It would be absurd if the quality of the medicinal spring didn't decline, okay?"
"If you're lucky, you might even be able to break through directly with the help of the medicinal spring. But if that happens, everyone else will be out of luck."
"Yes, the rate at which the spiritual energy is decreasing is a bit abnormal. Perhaps someone has broken through?"
"How enviable! I've only barely broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. My master is definitely not satisfied."
At the edge of the medicinal spring, six or seven people sat chatting and relaxing. Yes, just chatting, talking about life.
The spiritual energy in the medicinal spring is virtually inexhaustible; if one cannot digest and absorb all the spiritual energy, they will surely burst. These are people who climbed out to relax in order to avoid being overwhelmed and die.
Not everyone has the physique of Ye Xiruo and Zishu, where spiritual energy, once absorbed, will definitely be transformed into strength.
The vortex surrounding the packaged book grew larger and larger, forcing several people nearby to stop their cultivation and stare at him in terror. "Mom! There's a monster!"
Zishu's innate spiritual body is like a fish in water here. Although he is still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his true energy has been condensed three times. After leaving, with just a little more cultivation, he will definitely be able to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
In this way, even if Xiu Qiyu also breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can still crush him!
Like Jingli, Zishu also harbored deep malice towards Xiu Qiyu.
"Nascent Soul." The unintentional aura emanating from Zishu left the surrounding disciples speechless. First, they were filled with disbelief, then with utter despair. Such a monstrous talent was actually bathing with them! Damn it, the medicinal spring water he absorbed alone was equivalent to that of five ordinary disciples.
Why would the senior brother give such a precious spot to this prodigy? It's a deliberate attempt to undermine them.
However, Zishu did not stay in the medicinal spring any longer, but broke out of the water amidst the heartbroken onlookers.
He has already received enough benefits; there is no need for him to continue cultivating and interfere with others' cultivation. Although, if he wished, he could even absorb fifty percent of the spiritual energy in the medicinal spring.
After Zishu arrived, he landed lightly on the ground, some distance from the group of disciples. He glanced around and saw that his junior sister was still cultivating down below.
They never considered that their junior sister might have come up and gone again. They also didn't find Yingxun; she was probably trying to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core stage to prepare for Nascent Soul formation.
This stage is practically the first death hurdle for cultivators. If they fail to form their Nascent Soul, their chances of ever achieving it in this lifetime become almost nonexistent. They can only watch helplessly as they grow old and die. While the Nascent Soul stage is equally difficult, the nascent soul will be preserved, and at worst, the cultivator can transform into a spirit body and start cultivating again.
However, given Yingxun's talent, he should succeed in forming his Nascent Soul as long as his luck isn't too bad. The real concern now is his junior sister's Core Formation.
When a cultivator forms their core, a heavenly tribulation will descend, and Junior Sister's combat resilience is almost nonexistent. Upon returning, we must prepare ample magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, and elixirs to help her withstand the tribulation.
When Ye Xiruo's cultivation was completely consolidated at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and she could no longer absorb spiritual energy except for Core Formation, she finally dived into the depths of the medicinal spring.
The spring water here has turned dark green, and you can't see anything at all.
"A luminous pearl."
Under the light of the luminous pearl, they finally saw a small opening beneath the spring. Ye Xiruo carefully jumped down.
"What do we do now?"
"dig!"
"Idiot, this soil grows around the chalcedony and has some use, it's barely usable, hurry up and put it away."
Ye Xiruo dug while transferring soil into space.
"Little Green, time to get to work." (To be continued.)
