Chapter 540 Ling Shuo, don't you feel that the spiritual energy in the middle of this stream is
Xu Wan looked up and gazed into the depths of the stream.
The spiritual energy emanating from the depths did not dissipate; instead, it became even clearer.
The faint light from the crack in the rock just now was only the tip of the iceberg.
The real opportunity is clearly hidden in a deeper place.
"Ling Shuo, don't you feel that the spiritual energy in the middle of this stream is stronger than elsewhere?"
Xu Wan spoke softly, her eyes sparkling with a searching light.
Ling Shuo slowly approached.
He closed his eyes and focused his mind, letting a wisp of gentle spiritual energy probe into the water.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief:
“Indeed… Miss Xu, your intuition is far beyond that of ordinary people.”
Before the words were even finished!
The blue butterfly that had been perched on Xu Wan's shoulder suddenly fluttered its wings and took flight.
The butterfly's wings traced a light, flowing line in the moonlight, hovering straight above the middle of the stream. The wings trembled violently, emitting a rapid and joyful buzzing sound, as if in ecstasy or as if guiding the way.
Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat.
Youyou is naturally gifted with spiritual insight and is most sensitive to the most precious treasures of heaven and earth. This reaction is enough to show that the underwater object is far from being comparable to ordinary spiritual gold sand.
"Ling Shuo, I'll go take another look."
Without further hesitation, she took a deep breath, lightened her body, and with a slight sway of her skirt, stepped into the stream once more.
The stream water was cool but not icy; instead, it carried a refreshing and invigorating energy that gently seeped into her meridians, making her feel incredibly comfortable all over.
The further you go into the center, the slower the water flows, and the warmer and softer the sand at the bottom becomes.
Lingjinsha spreads out in large patches underwater, and when the moonlight shines on it, it looks like a sky full of stars sinking to the bottom of the stream.
However, Xu Wan's gaze did not linger on the golden light, but instead stared intently at the densest center of the spiritual gold sand.
There, lying quietly, was a dark-patterned black stone the size of a jade plate.
The black stone had a mottled appearance and no luster, looking no different from an ordinary rock.
But the closer she got, the more restless her spiritual energy became.
"This is it."
Xu Wan squatted down and gently brushed away the spirit gold sand from the surface of the black stone with both hands.
The moment my fingertips touched the stone surface.
An ancient and gentle aura instantly flowed into her body through her fingertips. It was not domineering at all, but it made her entire dantian feel slightly warm.
"This is no ordinary stone..."
She murmured softly.
Ling Shuo's expression on the shore slightly hardened:
"Miss Xu, be careful, don't force it."
Xu Wan nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and slowly poured her spiritual power into the black stone.
hum! !
A soft tremor spread from the bottom of the water.
The black stone slowly rose upwards upon contact with spiritual energy!
The next moment,
A dense, almost solidified, milky-white spiritual energy surged forth from beneath the black stone, transforming into ripples of spiritual light on the water's surface before soaring into the sky!
Ling Shuo's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stepped into the water:
"This is... a spiritual spring!"
Beneath the black rock, there is not sand or soil, but a spring the size of a palm.
Strands of milky white spiritual liquid slowly seeped from the spring, falling into the stream and instantly dissolving into pure spiritual energy that filled the sky.
The spiritual liquid neither sank nor floated, and it had its own halo. Just a wisp of it made the surrounding spiritual energy several times more concentrated.
"This is... Spirit Essence Liquid?"
Xu Wan murmured in a low voice.
She had seen records of it in the sect's ancient books.
Spiritual Marrow Liquid is formed from the origin of spiritual veins. A single drop can be equivalent to several days of arduous cultivation. It can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the meridians, and solidify the foundation of one's cultivation. It is a treasure that countless cultivators dream of.
Before them lay a living spring of spiritual essence.
"No wonder this stream can nurture spirit fish imbued with spiritual energy and cultivate patches of spiritual gold sand..."
Ling Shuo gazed at the spring, his voice filled with amazement!
"So, there is a spiritual essence hidden down there."
Xu Wan carefully extended her fingertip and dipped it in a drop of spiritual essence liquid.
The liquid melted upon entering the mouth, a warm current flowing into the throat and down to the lower abdomen.
She felt her already abundant spiritual energy surge again, her meridians widened little by little, and her soul felt as if it had been cleansed by a clear spring, becoming clearer than ever before.
"Such rich spiritual energy..."
She was overjoyed, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
This spring is too precious; forcibly extracting it would cut off the source of spiritual energy, resulting in more harm than good.
“We will return the black stone to its place, take only a small portion, and leave the spring to grow naturally.”
Xu Wan turned to look at Ling Shuo.
Ling Shuo nodded gently:
“Miss Xu is absolutely right. Only by taking it slow and steady can one benefit in the long run.”
The two worked together, using their spiritual power to gently cover the black stone back over the spring, then covered it with spirit gold sand and aquatic plants, leaving no trace.
However, the next moment...
The blue butterfly flew towards the depths of the stream, its wings skimming across the surface, leaving a golden ripple in its wake on the calm water.
The ripples spread out, and the sand and stones at the bottom of the water suddenly trembled.
The golden sand, originally buried in the crevices of the rocks, gathered along the direction of the ripples, forming a thin golden stream that followed the blue butterfly downstream.
"This……"
Xu Wan stared in disbelief, then subconsciously looked at Ling Shuo by the stream.
Ling Shuo was also stunned, forgetting to withdraw the spiritual light of plants from his fingertips:
"Youyou is a spirit creature of the Spirit Plant Garden, and usually only loves to flutter among the flowers, how could she..."
"Youyou, watch out, danger!!"
Before the words were even finished!
The blue butterfly had flown to the center of the stream when it suddenly swooped down and plunged into the water.
A string of bubbles rose to the surface of the water.
Immediately afterwards!
A golden column of water shot into the sky.
A golden carp the size of a palm was found wrapped in the water column.
The fish scales are covered with fine, golden sand patterns, and with a flick of its tail, it draws a golden arc in the air.
"Golden-striped carp!"
Ling Shuo exclaimed in surprise!
"How could the legendary Golden Spirit Messenger, who guards the Spirit Plant Garden, be..."
The golden-striped carp spun in the air and suddenly opened its mouth, spitting out a golden bead.
The bead floated in mid-air, spinning around, and the spiritual energy it emitted was ten times more concentrated than the golden sand that Xu Wan had just obtained.
"This is... the Golden Spirit Pearl?"
Xu Wan felt her spiritual energy surging wildly within her body, as if it were being drawn to the bead.
The golden-striped carp made a gurgling sound!
Its tail pointed at Xu Wan, then at the golden spirit pearl, its eyes sparkling as if gesturing for her to come forward.
Xu Wan subconsciously looked at Ling Shuo, only to see his complicated expression:
"The Golden Spirit Pearl is formed from the essence of the Golden Spirit Grass. Legend has it that only those recognized by Jinsha can approach it."
"Recognized by Sands?"
Xu Wan suddenly remembered the golden mark on her palm and the feeling of the golden sand flowing into her body.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the heart of the stream.
When the golden-veined carp saw her approaching, instead of running away, it affectionately rubbed its head against her palm.
The golden sand on the scales flowed into her body through her fingertips, perfectly merging with her own spiritual power.
"Gurgle!"
The golden-striped carp exhaled another string of bubbles, then suddenly flicked its tail, pushing the golden spirit pearl toward Xu Wan.
Xu Wan subconsciously caught the Golden Spirit Pearl. The moment her palm touched the pearl, a vague memory flooded her mind.
A thousand years ago, this place was an arid land.
A cultivator from the Golden Spirit Clan planted the Golden Spirit Grass here and nourished it with his own essence and blood, which is why it is now filled with spiritual energy.
The golden-striped carp and the blue butterfly were the guardian spirits left behind by that cultivator.
The golden sand is the essence of the golden spirit grass, and only those with pure hearts and a connection with the spiritual energy of the metal element can awaken it.
"So... you wanted me to inherit this Spirit Plant Garden."
Xu Wan looked at the golden-patterned carp, a knowing glint in her eyes.
"Gurgle!"
The golden-striped carp cried out and suddenly transformed into a golden light, entering her palm and merging with the golden spirit pearl.
Immediately afterwards, the golden sand in her storage ring poured out, surrounding her and forming a golden spiritual energy cloak, making her look as holy as a fairy.
"Miss Xu..."
Ling Shuo stood by the stream, his eyes filled with shock!
"You... have become the heir to the Golden Spirit Grass."
Xu Wan looked down at the golden spirit pearl in her palm, then at Ling Shuo, a smile playing on her lips:
"Ling Shuo, how about I help you manage this spirit plant garden when I have time?"
Ling Shuo paused for a moment, then smiled gently:
"Of course it's good."
