Chapter 62 : Spirit Spring Water
The underground godly temple was pitch black, full of humidity, and grim looking; even though, in the far distance, there was a lit Buddhist torch on top of the pagoda, the light couldn’t dissipate this darkness.
No one knew why this godly temple sunk into the ground for the past few thousand years, or why the Buddhist torch still was lit; it radiated a divine light, just like the lotus seat’s light, traveling towards all four directions.
The shape of the lotus seat was the same as a human’s footprint.
The two people standing on the lotus seat were Feng Fei Yun and Dong Fang Jing Yue.
The two were originally like fire and water, refusing to stand beside each other, but at this moment, they were leaning on each other like one’s figure and shadow. Even though Feng Fei Yun was just a young adult, his stature was not small. With a wide chest and standing at seven feet tall, he was seemingly higher than Dong Fang Jing Yue by half of a head.
The lotus seat was truly too small as there was not enough space for one person standing on top, let alone two people squeezing together. Dong Fang Jing Yue was standing in front of Feng Fei Yun, but her orientation was that of leaning close to his chest.
Dong Fang Jing Yue was wearing a white veil. Her emotionless expression seemingly had forgotten about the earlier hatred, but Feng Fei Yun knew that if it wasn’t for his understanding of formations and deduction of the arts, then he would have been a lost ghost by her hand.
“Feng Fei Yun, could it be that all of the Feng young children have the same understanding of formations just like you?”
Dong Fang Jing Yue, in the end, couldn’t restrain her curiosity, and she seriously asked.
Earlier, Feng Fei Yun carved the Corpse Refining Formation to suppress the three ancient monk corpses, and now he created a Crossing Lotus Seat Formation to easily escape the Sea of Blood Formation and the Bewildering Grand Formation.
It was her first time seeing these two methods. Even the formations of contemporary masters wouldn’t be as proficient; however, in the hands of Feng Fei Yun, it was as if every word he wrote became poetic proses.
If all the children of the Feng family were this wonderful, then it would truly be frightening.
Dong Fang Jing Yue was a child of the Yin Gou family, so she naturally had the responsibility to destroy any power that could threaten the clan. If Feng Fei Yun was truly this powerful, then she must kill him without mercy and destroy the grass to its root.
For a family as powerful as the Yin Gou family, wanting to destroy one hundred Feng families was an easy matter.
Feng Fei Yun was very clever, and, with just a glance, he knew what Dong Fang Jing Yue was calculating in her mind; thus, he smiled:
“No, of course not; unless it was a person with an extreme aptitude, the elders of the family absolutely wouldn’t allow us to learn it. In the end, learning these unorthodox methods would slow down our cultivations, ah!”
And he continued:
“It is also clear that I have an extreme aptitude, hahaha!”
“That is why your cultivation is so weak; it seems like the elders of your family didn’t worry without reasons.”
Even though Dong Fang Jing Yue was teasing Feng Fei Yun, the wariness in her heart had lowered by quite a bit.
Of course, out of ten phrases coming out of Feng Fei Yun’s mouth, nine couldn’t be trusted. Dong Fang Jing Yue naturally would still maintain some sort of caution. Once leaving the Mortal Life Cavern, she would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly to achieve a real peace of mind.
Feng Fei Yun ignored her teasing; in the end, his cultivation time was very short and he couldn’t compete with her. If he also cultivated for eight or ten years, then he would definitely disappear right before her eyes.
“Shh! Do you hear a sound?”
Feng Fei Yun focused on listening, and he felt that there was something next to him dripping down. He was ecstatic. He stomped on the lotus seat, flew outside of it, and he reached out his hand to grab a translucent drop of dew.
This drop of dew, from a gap between the brown tree barks, was from an ancient tree that had died many thousand years ago. It was filled with spirit and life energy. It was originally going to fall into the ancient well’s mouth, but it was discovered by Fei Yun and caught in mid air.
“Such a powerful spirit, could this be a drop of spirit spring water?”
Dong Fang Jing Yue was also extremely excited, and she directly gripped Feng Fei Yun’s wrist, forcing him to open his palm, and took away the drop of dew.
“It is indeed a drop of spirit spring water.”
Dong Fang Jing Yue acted like there was no one next to her, and she carefully observed the drop of dew. Inside the spirit spring water was a shadow of a small girl the size of a rice grain; it was as if she was sleeping calmly.
This was naturally not a little girl; it was simply the spirit condensed inside the spirit spring water.
Feng Fei Yun came to the Mortal Life Cavern precisely to find spirit spring water to increase his cultivation. Through arduous hard work, he finally obtained a drop of it in his hand, yet it suddenly changed its owner.
“I can’t imagine that a grand character from the renowned Yin Gou family would commit such a robbery!”
Feng Fei Yun shook his wrist back and forth. This damned grandma Dong Fang Jing Yue’s move was too vicious, and a bloody bruise was left on his wrist by her.
“The ancestor of our Yin Gou family indeed became prosperous from robbery!”
Of course Dong Fang Jing Yue also wanted the spirit spring water to break through to the next realm, so she absolutely wouldn’t give the drop back to Feng Fei Yun. Her eyes slightly raised upward towards the sky, and she carefully stared at the dead and dried ancient tree. Spirit spring water was dropping from its body, but there was something odd going on.
This ancient tree was one hundred and thirty zhang tall, with a radius of four to five zhang. Its exterior was dry like the yellow soil on the ground, and there were many weather parts in the tree trunks, riddled with thousands of holes on its body.
The life of this tree had ended many thousand years ago, so how could it give birth to spirit spring water?
One has to know that spirit spring water was a wonder medicine in this world. When a mortal drank a drop, he could live for two hundred years. When a cultivator consumed a drop, not only could it refine the body and increase one’s innate talent, but it could also help them break through to the next realm.
Obtaining one drop could already be considered a grand immortal fortune!
Feng Fei Yun was also looking for clues. In the end, he would be such a rich man if he could find the originating location of the spirit spring water.
