Supreme Dragon Martial Soul

Chapter 679: Chapter 355: Spiritual Spring, a Full Ten Years!

Luo Cheng followed Yin Li to an ancient building.

Yin Li introduced, "The spring water in Yunquan City not only aids in cultivation, but also dispels fatigue, replenishes the spirit, and helps to restore Essence Energy. This Li Shui Garden is built over the largest spring in Yunquan City and has the best effect. You can rest well here and recharge your energy."

"Agreed!"

Luo Cheng had been rushing around fighting and wanted to rest a bit.

It was obvious that Yin Li was not here for the first time. He smoothly booked two top-tier courtyards.

"How many days do you plan to stay?" the maid inquired.

Yin Li said, "Let’s start with three days."

Luo Cheng felt a stir in his heart; there were only four days left until his duel with Yun Tianyan.

It seemed that Yin Li would also be staying in Yunquan City during this time.

The maid smiled and said, "The top-tier courtyard costs three hundred Essence Energy Pills per day, two courtyards for three days will be a total of 1,800 Essence Energy Pills."

Three hundred Essence Energy Pills per day!

This price startled Luo Cheng a bit.

Three hundred Essence Energy Pills equal three million, which an ordinary Awakening Vein expert would probably not afford!

Of course, this amount of Essence Energy Pills meant nothing to the current Luo Cheng.

Although he hadn’t had time to sort through it all, his harvest during this period was truly astonishing.

Just the wealth on that Heavenly-level Great Power from the Blood Nether Sect was beyond imagination!

"Count these!"

With a swipe of his finger, Luo Cheng directly took out 1,800 Essence Energy Pills and handed them to the maid.

Although coerced by Yin Li to work hard on this journey, his gains far exceeded his efforts. Not only did he acquire vast wealth, but his strength also improved by several levels, all thanks to him.

Yin Li glanced at Luo Cheng and said nothing more.

After paying the Essence Energy Pills, the two followed the maid to the two adjacent courtyards.

The gates of the courtyards had wooden plaques labeled A5 and A6 hanging on them.

After tipping the maid with a Gold Note, Luo Cheng greeted Yin Li and entered Courtyard A6.

The courtyard was not large, with row houses ahead and a small Practice Field about ten meters in diameter to the left. In the center stood two metal Training Posts, which bore many marks like knife cuts and sword slashes. The depth of these marks showcased the strength of the people who made them.

To the right of the courtyard was a hot spring, its waters milky white with occasional bubbling and rising mist!

This mist did not disperse but instead gathered within the spring, flowing like a tangible substance, making everything appear hazy. It was evident that an array had been set up.

"What a Spiritual Spring. Let’s see if it’s as miraculous as Yin Li said!"

Luo Cheng directly undressed and jumped in.

Splash!

The spring water was not warm; instead, it was slightly cool.

Upon entering, Luo Cheng immediately felt a refreshing coolness sweep over his body, relaxing his tense state of mind from the past ten days completely. He felt invigorated, and the Essence Energy within him, which was originally flowing slowly, became lively and vigorous like a surging river.

"This truly is extraordinary..."

Surprised, Luo Cheng released his Soul Power, wanting to see what was mystical about the spring water.

The spring water continuously surged up from underground, and Luo Cheng’s Soul Power extended downwards along with the spring water, radiating over a hundred meters deep without reaching the bottom until he finally gave up.

However, he discovered that besides the rich Essence Energy, the spring water had a faint jade-like quality.

"This should be the wondrous aspect of the spring," he murmured, retracting his Soul Power, ready to rest when he suddenly remembered something, thinking:

"I killed Qi Yu and Zhou Yunqing, among four top ten Inner Sect Disciples, which is no small matter. I wonder what turmoil it has caused within the sect, and if there are any consequences..."

"Judging from the attitudes of those junior brothers and sisters today, it seems like nothing major has happened. After all, living Inner Sect top ten disciples have great potential, but dead top ten disciples have no value. Besides, they were the ones who initiated the trouble with me..."

With this thought, Luo Cheng decided to inquire with his master.

The distance between Yunquan City and the Xuanyuan Sect was less than a hundred thousand miles, still within the communication range of the Identity Token.

Taking out the Disciple Token personally granted by the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect, Luo Cheng channeled his Soul Power into it.

Buzz!

The token gave a slight tremor, releasing intangible waves.

Soon after, the dominant voice of the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect resonated.

"Oh! Luo Cheng!"

"Luo Cheng greets Master!"

"Humph! You’re quite the troublemaker. As soon as you were taken under my wing, you gave me such a big surprise! Not only did you kill Qi Yu, Wu Taiyue, Zhou Yunqing, and Liu Kang, four top ten Inner Sect Disciples, but you also crippled Lia Jue, the number two disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect’s Inner Sect!"

The voice of the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect echoed in the hot spring.

Luo Cheng was uncertain if the elder was pleased or angry and said, "Master, I was forced to kill Qi Yu and the others too..."

"Enough! You don’t need to explain. I’ve already investigated the circumstances. You’re not at fault, and I will handle it. However, the fact that you killed four top ten Inner Sect Disciples is significant, and some minor punishments are inevitable."

The elder’s tone shifted as he continued, "By the way, I heard you’ll be dueling to the death with Yun Tianyan in Yunquan City?"

"Yes. I’m already in Yunquan City."

The Supreme Elder of Ming Sect fell silent for a long time before speaking, "Luo Cheng, answer me honestly. How confident are you in this battle? If you’re not sure, don’t act rashly. I don’t want you to follow in your Senior Brother’s footsteps."

"Rest assured, Master. I’m fully confident Yun Tianyan will die in this battle!!"

"What!"

The Supreme Elder of Ming Sect was obviously startled, speaking in an unusually serious tone: "This is a matter of life and death; don’t take it lightly! Yun Tianyan has awakened a Ten-star Spiritual Martial Soul and is a Quasi-Sword Intent Swordsman, not someone like Liu Jue can compare to..."

Luo Cheng had no intention of hiding his strength further, nor could he, and directly said:

"Master, I’ve already broken through to the Ninth Layer Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm. My Sword Dao Realm has reached Nine Percent Sword Intent Perfection, just half a step from comprehending true Sword Intent! A few days ago, I personally killed a Pseudo Earth-level Great Power! Even against an Earth-level Great Power, I’m confident I can contend. Within the Great Yue Dynasty, beneath Earth-level Great Powers, no one can threaten me now."

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound came from the token, as if something had shattered.

The Supreme Elder of Ming Sect was evidently shocked by Luo Cheng’s words, his breath heavy: "Half a step to comprehending true Sword Intent, slaying a Pseudo Earth-level Great Power..."

"Good! Good! Very Good!"

The Supreme Elder of Ming Sect laughed heartily, saying ’good’ thrice, with his voice suddenly turning ice-cold:

"Back then, that Fiery Fire Old Thief plotted to have his direct disciple Xu Daoyan kill your Senior Brother, and I’ve been holding in this anger for ten years! A full ten years!!"

"Luo Cheng, this time, you must kill Yun Tianyan to avenge your Senior Brother and let that Fiery Fire Old Thief taste the pain of losing a cherished disciple!"

"If you can kill Yun Tianyan, it will be a great achievement, making you a significant contributor to our Xuanyuan Sect! When you return to the sect, not only will you not be punished, but I will also reward you abundantly!"

The dominating and ice-cold voice of the Supreme Elder of Ming Sect echoed in the hot spring, imbued with extreme excitement!
