Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1642: Chapter 834: Intense Enough

”However, the water of this Immortal Pool was transformed by the Holy Master using the Earth Vein Spirit Marrow back in the days, and it contains abundant Life Essence Qi and pure Spiritual Power.

If one can soak in the Immortal Pool and use its power to warm and nourish the meridians, cleanse the old ailments, it would greatly benefit Zhi’er in restoring her Primordial Energy! Its effect far surpasses any elixir from the outside world! It could even significantly shorten her recovery time!”

”Enter the Immortal Pool?”

Gu Sheng looked at the seemingly tranquil water.

He could feel the astonishing energy contained within the pool water, but he also faintly sensed some kind of invisible restriction surrounding the water.

”That’s right.”

Elder Bai Yu nodded, his tone affirmative.

”The water of the Immortal Pool is the essence of this place. As long as we don’t approach the core sealed area on the opposite shore, soaking by the pool poses no problem. This is also the most important reason I insisted on bringing Zhi’er here. Missing this opportunity, who knows how long we would have to wait.”

Gu Sheng understood. So that’s how it is. Opening the Secret Realm is not easy, and the Immortal Pool is even more a Holy Land for healing.

Bai Yu took a risk bringing his sister here because of her injuries, a familial devotion that is touching.

”There is no time to lose.”

Xia Fuqu spoke.

”Let’s first go to the manor for some rest. Miss Meng Ling needs time to recuperate from the consumption of activating the Transmission Array. After that, we’ll act separately. Elder Bai Yu can take Miss Bai Zhi to the Immortal Pool’s edge to heal.

Master Gu, Fuqu, and Miss Meng Ling, we’ll handle clearing the Spiritual Bodies that have bred on the perimeter and check and reinforce the Defensive Array.”

No one objected.

The group walked towards the ancient and simple manor.

The manor’s doors opened silently, inside was arranged with simplicity and elegance, spotless, as if the owner had only temporarily left. The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, calming the mind.

Xiao Mengling holding a bamboo scroll, quietly walked to a corner and sat down, closing her eyes to adjust her breath, recovering from the consumption of activating the Transmission Array.

Elder Bai Yu carefully helped Bai Zhi sit on a chair lined with cushions, took out elixir pills and Spiritual Liquid, and attended to her with care.

Gu Sheng stood by the window, his gaze once again turned towards the sleeping silhouette on the opposite shore of the Immortal Pool.

Situ Qingfeng... and this mysterious Secret Realm, along with the legendary Immortal Pool... this journey surely won’t be simple.

Inside the ancient manor, the group rested briefly.

Xiao Mengling adjusted her breath with closed eyes, recovering from the consumption of activating the Transmission Array.

Elder Bai Yu was beside her, tending to the weak Bai Zhi.

Gu Sheng stood by the window, his gaze traversing the courtyard, landing on the misty Immortal Pool, pondering silently.

A moment later, Xiao Mengling slowly opened her eyes, her aura already stable.

Elder Bai Yu also fed Bai Zhi a pill that nurtures Primordial Energy, her pale complexion seemed to improve.

”Time to set off.”

Xia Fuqu stood up and said.

The group left the manor and proceeded along a path paved with gentle jade stone.

On both sides of the path, exotic flowers and plants emitted a soothing fragrance, the dense Spiritual Energy almost solidifying, carrying a sweet taste with every breath.

Soon, a wide water expanse appeared before the group.

This was the Immortal Pool.

The pool surface was vast, spanning several hundred feet square. The pool water was not still but gently surging.

Every surge brought dense Spiritual Energy, transforming into a milky-white mist that rose, shrouding the pool and the distant opposite shore in a haze.

The pool water was crystal clear, faintly visible at the bottom were not mud but a kind of jade stone with a gentle sheen, deeper within, there seemed to be thin strands of blue spiritual light flowing, exuding pure energy fluctuations.

”Such dense Spiritual Energy!”

Elder Bai Yu stood at the edge of the Immortal Pool, feeling all his pores expand, greedily absorbing this pure energy.

Xia Fuqu looked at the surging pool water, her eyes filled with reminiscence and emotion.

”This is the Immortal Pool. Deep within the pool is connected to a rare sea-bottom spiritual marrow, nurtured by the Core Spiritual Veins of the Ancient Wuya Holy Land for a thousand years, the spiritual energy and Life Essence Qi its water contains far surpasses common Spiritual Springs.

Soaking here not only drastically increases cultivation speed, purifies the body of impurities, but also has a certain chance to enter a special ’Enlightenment’ state, providing incredible aid in breaking through bottlenecks and comprehending cultivation technique mysteries.”

She paused, her gaze turned to Gu Sheng, her tone sincere.

”Master Gu, you have helped the Holy Academy greatly, and you are a key figure in entering the Secret Realm this time. As a disciple of the Holy Academy, I have the privilege of bringing one person every year to soak at the edge of the Immortal Pool for two hours. If you wish, I can grant you this spot this time.”

At these words, Elder Bai Yu’s body froze almost imperceptibly, he instinctively glanced at his weak sister beside him, his lips moved but he ultimately did not speak.

His eyes carried complexity, both worry for his sister and unnoticeable tension.

Gu Sheng’s gaze swept over Elder Bai Yu and his frail sister Bai Zhi, then looked at the enticingly surging Immortal Pool.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

”Miss Fuqu’s good intention, I understand. However, the goal of this trip is clear, it is for Senior Situ. Besides, I have my own method on my cultivation path, although the opportunity at the Immortal Pool is good, it is not necessary. The spot is precious, Miss Fuqu should keep it for herself.”

Upon hearing Gu Sheng’s refusal, Elder Bai Yu’s tense body relaxed almost imperceptibly, though his face remained calm, the deep tension in his eyes dissipated, replaced by a relieved gratitude.

His gaze towards Gu Sheng also carried a trace of sincerity.
