Chapter 461: Root of the Spiritual Spring

An hour later, Xiao Lin looked at a pond several feet in size filled with white mist in front of him, with a puzzled expression on his face.

In the center of the pond, stood a white and transparent pillar about a foot thick. The pillar was only about four or five feet high. The top of the white pillar emitted a faint white mist and sank into the pond.

"Could this be the root of the legendary spiritual vein?" The doubt on Xiao Lin's face turned into surprise, and then he showed an expression of surprise.

The root of the spiritual vein is the outlet of the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein. Usually, as long as there is a spiritual vein, there must be a root of the spiritual spring, but 99% of the spiritual spring roots of the spiritual vein are above the spiritual vein, located thousands of feet underground. For cultivators, it is already deep in the lava deep underground. Even if the spiritual energy is rich, it is not suitable for cultivation.

Moreover, once the spiritual vein is opened to the body, the speed of spiritual energy dissipation will be accelerated by dozens or even hundreds of times. Even if it can be used for cultivation, it will not last long. In this way, the damage to the spiritual vein will be permanent, which is tantamount to killing the chicken to get the eggs.

In the world of immortal cultivation, no sect will do such a thing to cut off its own inheritance. If it does such a thing to other sects, it will be like destroying the inheritance of others, which will bring endless hatred.

However, there are also a small number of spiritual veins that will extend to a position close to the surface of the earth, forming a spiritual energy outlet in a small area. Such a place is called the root of the spiritual spring, which will continuously dissipate spiritual energy through the root of the spiritual spring, forming a holy place for immortal cultivation.

As long as the root of the spiritual spring is not too large, the dissipated spiritual energy is within the tolerance range of the spiritual vein, and it can exist for a long time. For immortal cultivators, if they can have the root of the spiritual spring in their cave, the cultivation speed is definitely more than twice that of other immortal cultivators.

Xiao Lin really didn't expect that an unintentional act of opening a cave residence would actually open up a cave residence with the root of the spiritual spring. This was simply a stroke of luck.

Xiao Lin came to the spiritual pool and felt the liquefied spiritual energy in the pool. He couldn't help but take a deep breath. This breath of almost pure spiritual energy entered his body and instantly made him energetic.

"Huh?" Xiao Lin's face suddenly changed. He gently patted the spiritual beast bag on his waist. With a flash of spiritual light, a stone egg with a mottled surface appeared in Xiao Lin's palm.

At this moment, the surface of the stone egg was emitting a faint white spiritual light. Although it was not obvious, Xiao Lin could easily capture that the mottled spots on the stone egg were slowly falling off under the cover of the white light.

In the blink of an eye, the mottled spots on the surface of the stone egg fell off, revealing a snow-white beast egg inside.

"Is it really a fairy egg?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin's face showed an excited expression. Huang Shang once told him that this was a fairy egg, but after seeing this stone egg, Xiao Lin always thought that Huang Shang was exaggerating.

Now seeing the changes in this stone egg, Xiao Lin is a little more expectant.

The excitement on Xiao Lin's face turned into surprise again, and then showed a horrified expression. The white spiritual energy in the spirit pool seemed to be pulled by the stone egg, forming long strips, and rushed towards the stone egg.

"Could it be that the fairy Yeyue has been unable to hatch this stone egg because of the lack of spiritual energy in the Silent Spirit Palace?" Xiao Lin thought of a possibility. Thinking of this, he hesitated slightly, took a step lightly, and had already arrived above the spirit pool, next to the root of the spiritual spring.

Xiao Lin gently placed the stone egg on the root of the spiritual spring. The root of the spiritual spring exuded white mist, which directly wrapped the stone egg, and the stone egg began to absorb the spiritual energy.

After Xiao Lin pondered for a moment, he stretched out his right hand, opened his mouth slightly, and a cold light flashed from the Qingluan Ice Sword. Xiao Lin's fingers were immediately covered with blood, and a drop of crystal red blood fell on the white shell of the stone egg.

The blood immediately spread out, like a tree root, crawling all over the stone egg, and then slowly merged into the stone egg under Xiao Lin's gaze.

After getting this stone egg, although Xiao Lin had thought about finding a place to hatch it, he had been homeless and had never really settled down, and he had never found a suitable place.

Now he accidentally found the root of this spiritual spring, and the stone egg was obviously very satisfied with this place, and could absorb spiritual energy unscrupulously. I think this place is also the most suitable place for the stone egg to hatch.

Regardless of whether the stone egg is really a fairy egg, Xiao Lin decided to fuse a drop of his own blood with the stone egg through the blood prohibition technique. In this way, even if the stone egg hatches, it will be the closest to him. Moreover, if it is really a fairy egg, he is really blessed by God. Xiao Lin has never thought of having a fairy pet.

Compared with the forbidden god technique, the blood prohibition technique is less harmful to spirit beasts. Of course, the blood prohibition technique also loses the strong control of the forbidden god technique. However, if the blood prohibition technique does not work, he can always switch to the forbidden god technique, and vice versa.

After doing all this, the star ring in Xiao Lin's hand flashed with spiritual light, and a five-color spiritual bead appeared in the void in front of Xiao Lin, spinning.

Xiao Lin pointed from a distance, and the five-color spiritual bead immediately flew above the stone egg, and then a thumb-thick five-color spiritual light shot onto the white stone egg, and then turned into a ball of five-color spiritual fire the size of a human head, wrapping the stone egg inside.

Only then did Xiao Lin breathe a sigh of relief, with a satisfied expression on his face.

This stone egg is nourished by the rich spiritual energy of the root of the spiritual spring, and with the help of the five elements of spiritual fire, it can be hatched faster.

At this time, Xiao Lin thought again that if he went to the outer sea of ​​​​Wan Yao to train, wouldn’t this place be defenseless? Thinking of this, Xiao Lin gently patted the storage bag on his waist, and a large piece of red fire cloud flew out with a buzzing sound.

This group of fire clouds is exactly the real-level soul-devouring fire Gu that Xiao Lin has re-cultivated in the past few decades, and there are thousands of them.

But in these twenty years, he has only cultivated one batch, and there are more than 100,000 ordinary soul-devouring fire Gu in his other soul beast bag, and he is still continuously catalyzing more real-level soul-devouring fire Gu for him.

After giving the thousands of soul-devouring fire Gu the order to guard this place, Xiao Lin turned around and left here and returned to the soul beast room.

Xiao Lin looked at the dark hole on the wall of the soul beast room, thought for a moment, and then rang out an obscure spell, and groups of spiritual light emerged from his body.

After a while, Xiao Lin pointed at the dark cave entrance from a distance, and a spiritual light shot onto the rock next to the cave entrance, and the rock at the entrance began to slowly wriggle.

The rocks around the dark cave entrance grew out little by little. After half an hour, the original dark cave entrance had disappeared without a trace, and a dark rock wall reappeared.

Xiao Lin exhaled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered to himself: "It takes so much mana to perform this low-level rock control technique."

Looking at the disappeared cave entrance, Xiao Lin showed a satisfied expression on his face. In this way, as long as no one deliberately uses spiritual consciousness to penetrate the rock wall here, they will not be able to find the passage inside.

In this way, the stone eggs can be quietly hatched inside, and as long as they are hatched, he will be able to know it instantly because he is connected to it by blood.

Xiao Lin thought for a moment, and after confirming that there were no loopholes, he left the cave and returned to the small valley. At this time, Xiao Lin thought for a moment and gently patted the spirit beast bag on his waist.

Accompanied by a harsh "buzzing" sound, a fire cloud of ten feet in size appeared in the small valley. Xiao Lin gave them the task of guarding the valley through his divine thoughts, and then this group of soul-eating fire insects of about an acre in size began to disperse and disappeared into every corner of the valley in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Xiao Lin looked at the sky above his head, and there was a group of fire clouds of about ten feet in size. He gave them the order to guard the mortals in the island town. After receiving Xiao Lin's order, this group of fire clouds floated out of the mountain and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After doing everything, Xiao Lin released his divine thoughts, and instantly took everything within ten miles around into his mind. Jiang Yingxue was naturally no exception. After feeling that Jiang Yingxue was sitting cross-legged in the cave, using the soul-enriching pill he gave her, she was practicing hard.

Xiao Lin nodded in satisfaction, and then a rich dark green spiritual light emerged from his body, followed by a dark green long rainbow rising into the sky. After flying up to a thousand feet high, it slightly folded and then shot towards the direction of Lei Shi Xiancheng, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

......

In the market at the foot of the mountain in Lei Shi Xiancheng, a black-faced young man at the eighth level of Qi Refining was strolling leisurely, with an excited expression on his face.

This person was Xiao Lin, who had changed his appearance by performing the Yi Ling Bian secret technique. The market in every fairy city basically became a place that Xiao Lin must go to. This may be a habit he has developed since he started cultivating immortals.

In fact, many high-level immortal cultivators occasionally patronize such low-level trading places. The main reason is that in such a market, the higher the level of the immortal cultivator, the easier it is to find a leak.

Xiao Lin is one of these people. Just now, he bought six Jade Dew Grasses from a middle-aged cultivator in his forties. These Jade Dew Grasses are genuine third-level spiritual herbs, and they are also spiritual herbs that grow with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. They can only grow in some uninhabited places with abundant spiritual energy.

Since these six Jade Dew Grasses are only seedlings of thirty or forty years old, they cannot be used to downgrade and refine second-level spiritual pills for alchemists. In addition, the middle-aged cultivator wants to sell each of them for at least eight hundred low-grade spiritual stones. This price alone has scared away many immortal cultivators who have ideas about this Jade Dew Grass.

For some cultivators of some sects, the cost of cultivating Jade Dew Grasses of thirty or forty years old is too high. If you want to use them to refine third-level spiritual pills, you need to cultivate them for at least three hundred years. The cost of cultivation alone is a huge amount of spiritual stones.

Therefore, the middle-aged cultivator has been selling for a long time, but has not made a deal. Later, almost no one is interested in them. When Xiao Lin saw these Jade Dew Grasses, he was really surprised.
