Shi Xuan easily led them to the location of the spiritual spring in the back mountain, and then skillfully led them into the formation, arriving at another world.
The interior suddenly opened up, revealing a secluded spiritual spring!
The spring water was crystal clear, shimmering with a luminous glow, and its surface teemed with spiritual energy.
The team members were utterly astonished.
"Captain is amazing! He even found such a hidden place!"
"That's amazing! Could it be related to that fleeting figure from just now?"
"Is it a human figure? It doesn't look like a human figure to me, it looks more like a monster."
"Where is your attention? Shouldn't you be taking a good look at this sacred spring!"
"What is this? It looks like a Dream Flower!"
...
As everyone chatted amongst themselves, Shi Xuan, not wanting to dwell on Qiu Chang'an's disappearance, didn't respond to their conversation.
Looking at the pool of water brimming with spiritual energy, she said, "Let's fill some containers and store it, then soak in it. It's said that spiritual spring water can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body, so let's give it a try."
When Shi Xuan first entered the Lianfeng Sword Sect, he had soaked in the sect's Spirit Tempering Pool and gained many benefits. Naturally, he felt that soaking in this spiritual spring would have a good effect.
The eighteen team members rushed forward and took out all the containers that could hold liquid, filling them all with the spiritual spring water.
After everyone finished dressing, they all looked at Shi Xuan, waiting for her next instructions.
Shi Xuan said, "Let's all enter this spiritual spring together, and let each of us receive whatever benefits we can."
The team members were very cooperative. After the captain led them in, they left the most spacious area for the captain after they entered the spiritual spring.
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Shi Xuan followed them into the spiritual spring.
This pool of spiritual spring covers a considerable area, and even with nineteen people sitting in a circle around it, it doesn't feel crowded.
But as soon as Shi Xuanfu entered the water, he sensed something was wrong. It seemed that Wanwusheng had sensed the abundant spiritual energy in the spring and started to circulate it powerfully without any regard for the situation.
For a moment, Shi Xuan felt that the color of the spiritual spring water around her had become paler.
If this continues, she will absorb all the spiritual energy in the spring, and it may not be of much use to her.
The team members had already begun to meditate with their eyes closed. Shi Xuan emerged from the spiritual spring and walked around the area sealed off by the formation.
Dream-seeking flowers grow everywhere here, seemingly preserved because they have been protected by an array and no one has come here for a long time.
Shi Xuan dug up a few flowers and transplanted them into the Silver Frost to enrich the variety of spiritual plants in her medicinal garden. She left the rest untouched, waiting for the team members to distribute them themselves after they came out of the spiritual spring.
Everyone was immersed in cultivating in the spiritual spring, but Shi Xuan was quite bored on the shore, so he walked deeper into the spiritual spring.
At the edge of this area, there's a cliff below. The bottom is shrouded in thick fog, impossible to see even with divine sense.
There is no mention of this cliff in the miscellaneous information section.
Shi Xuan stood on the edge of the cliff for a while, deciding to wait until all the team members came out of the spiritual spring before going down to explore together.
Just then, a gust of evil wind blew by, and Shi Xuan felt something push him, causing him to fall off the cliff.
Shi Xuan was startled. She hadn't felt anything approaching at all, but she was pushed down without warning!
In mid-air, Shi Xuan took out the puppet sword, tried to maintain his balance, stepped onto the flying sword, and floated in mid-air.
But as soon as the puppet sword appeared, a bird flew out from behind Shi Xuan and pecked at the sword with its beak, knocking the puppet sword off and causing it to fall to the bottom of the cliff.
The puppet sword has no sword spirit, so it won't float back up on its own after falling. Shi Xuan had no choice but to take out the Concealed Edge Sword again.
The Lianfeng Sword is a spirit sword that can move on its own, but the bird circling Shi Xuan attacked the Lianfeng Sword again, seemingly trying to prevent Shi Xuan from controlling the sword.
Shi Xuan plummeted rapidly through the air, and as the bird battled the spirit sword, she finally saw the culprit who had pushed her.
It was a bird that was entirely red, with a golden crown on its head, three legs on its belly, and its body faintly radiating the color of flames.
This is… Shi Xuan suddenly thought of a mythical beast: the three-legged golden crow!
It's a three-legged golden crow! There's actually something like that here!
But at this moment, the bird not only pushed her off the cliff, but also stopped her from flying on her sword. If she fell straight down like this, even if she had cultivated the Sacred Bone Technique, she would definitely suffer internal injuries if she didn't die.
The three-legged golden crow was still locked in combat with the Concealing Edge Sword, constantly preventing Shi Xuan from making contact with it.
Shi Xuan was a little angry; jokes shouldn't be taken this far.
She suddenly exerted force, adjusted her direction, condensed her spiritual energy into a gust of wind in mid-air, used it to prop herself up, and leaped towards the three-legged golden crow, getting close to the big red bird. Then she reached out and grabbed one of the three-legged golden crow's legs.
The three-legged golden crow seemed startled, its entire body trembling. But when it looked down at Shi Xuan, it did not stop Shi Xuan from pulling on its leg.
Shi Xuan, holding onto the three-legged golden crow, was being pulled down at a controlled and rapid pace.
At this moment, Shi Xuan finally realized that the bird's purpose was simply to prevent him from flying back on his sword.
From initially pushing her off unexpectedly, to preventing her from using her flying sword for fear she would return once she had one, and even grabbing its leg while it didn't react, the three-legged golden crow's purpose was clear: to get Shi Xuan off the cliff!
Shi Xuan originally intended to attack it after capturing it, and then take the opportunity to step onto her flying sword and return. However, seeing that the three-legged golden crow seemed to have no ill intentions and only wanted her to go down to the bottom of the cliff, she withdrew her attack, recalled her Concealed Edge Sword, and followed it as it plummeted downwards.
The cliff was very deep, and the three-legged golden crow carried Shi Xuan down for a while before finally landing on the ground.
Contrary to Shi Xuan's imagination of desolation and chaos, there were actually two rows of small stone paths built at the bottom of the cliff, which looked quite neat and orderly.
There are people down here!
Shi Xuan immediately thought of Qiu Chang'an. Could it be that these people were the ones who did his dirty work?
But in places where there are people, one must still be careful. Shi Xuan took out an invisibility talisman and affixed it to himself, concealing his figure behind the trees in front of the mountain wall.
She unleashed her divine sense to observe the situation in detail.
I circled the entire valley from the outermost edge, and the path I saw when I came down led to a grove of trees in the middle. I didn't see anyone on the ground.
But since a path was built, it means that this path connects two frequently used locations.
Shi Xuan thought for a moment, then first followed the path toward the other side of the mountain wall.
She expanded the range of her divine sense and moved forward, concealing her figure.
Suddenly, the three-legged golden crow following behind her stirred violently, revealing extremely excited emotions.
Shi Xuan reached out and pressed it, signaling it not to move.
At that moment, a person emerged from the other end of the path.
He was a short male cultivator dressed in black, with a large eye totem embroidered on the front of his clothes!
