Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: Chapter 230: Core Area, Investigating the Cleansing Spirit Pool_2 (2/2)
“This isn’t a volcano vent, logically speaking, it should be far from reaching magma.”
Lin Jing then approached it a bit more and looked carefully, only to discover…
It turns out that this dark red light was actually a group of ants.
Lin Jing had stumbled upon an ant nest.
But it was unknown what kind of ants they were.
Their bodies even emitted a dark red glow.
Thanks to the light from these ants, Lin Jing could vaguely make out some scattered stones.
So this place was still within the rock layers.
Lin Jing was not interested in the ants.
He continued his exploration.
However.
This time, even at the maximum range of Observation Mode, Lin Jing discovered nothing.
Helpless.
Lin Jing had no choice but to exit Observation Mode temporarily.
After coming out of Observation Mode, Lin Jing left the System Space directly.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in his cave dwelling, he pondered.
He tried to think of some other methods.
For a long while.
Lin Jing racked his brains to the point of a splitting headache but still couldn’t come up with a better method.
Unless, he was willing to risk his life.
If it came to risking his life, then there was no need.
Lin Jing indeed wanted to improve the quality of his Spiritual Root.
But it was not to the extent that he had to take such risks.
Moreover.
This risk-taking was right under the eyes of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Lin Jing then shook his head.
Having the System Space, even with a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root,
his cultivation would be much easier than for others.
To take such a risk, which was almost certainly fatal?
Absolutely unnecessary…
“It seems this matter can only be left to fate.”
“If in the future, I get the chance to obtain Cleansing Spirit Liquid, then we will see.”
“Who knows, maybe in the future, I can obtain this Cleansing Spirit Liquid from some other place.”
Thinking thus, Lin Jing slowly let go of his fixations.
Afterward.
Lin Jing temporarily put aside this matter and began cultivating once again.
This round of cultivation lasted another day.
Today marked the sixth day since Lin Jing arrived at this Cleansing Spirit place.
One more day and they would be leaving.
Although the core area was indeed much better than the inner area,
the concentration of Spiritual Energy still could not compare with that inside the System Space.
And the effects produced by the Cleansing Spirit Liquid factors contained within the Spiritual Energy were not very significant.
Perhaps it was because Lin Jing possessed a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root.
His absorption rate of Spiritual Energy was much slower than others.
That could be why.
Despite this.
Lin Jing still did not give up.
Afterward.
Lin Jing continued to sit in meditation and cultivate.
However…
This time, Lin Jing had not been meditating for long,
perhaps not even an hour,
when he was startled awake by a sudden jolt.
Lin Jing frowned and then began to think.
“Why would there be a sudden tremor in this place of Cleansing Spirit?”
“Something’s not right…”
Then.
Lin Jing stopped meditating, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and waited for Senior Han’s arrival.
Because Lin Jing knew…
If something really happened,
Senior Han would definitely inform him at the first opportunity.
However…
This time Lin Jing waited for half an hour, but Senior Han did not come, and the abrupt tremor did not occur again.
Curiosity arose within Lin Jing.
Afterward…
He entered the System Space once again.
Upon entering the System Space, Lin Jing immediately activated Observation Mode.
He then controlled the perspective to continue his exploration.
Soon.
Lin Jing discovered the two disciples of the Qingyuan Sword Sect who had been guarding the entrance to the core area.
The two were walking down the corridor, just past the entrance of a cave dwelling.
The stone door of this cave dwelling was open, and a cultivator stuck his head out, asking them:
“Fellow disciples, what happened with the sudden tremor just now?”
Obviously…
This person too was awakened by the unexpected tremor.
“Greetings, Senior Brother…”
“Just now, at the very back of the caves, some low-level Ant Demon Beasts caused a boulder to dislodge and fall, creating the tremors.”
“An Elder has already gone to handle it, and it’s estimated that it will be resolved in a short while.”
“Senior Brother need not worry, you can continue your cultivation in peace.”
After hearing this, the cultivator nodded.
“So that’s what happened…”
“Thank you both, fellow disciples.”
Having said this,
he then returned to his cave dwelling to continue cultivating.
And Lin Jing, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment.
Afterward.
He continued his exploration going forward.
“Ant Demon Beasts?”
“Could it be the ones I saw earlier?”
