Chapter 15: Guardian of the Sacred Spring

"Sister, what did you find?" Lin Ruo asked, turning his head to look at Xufei Yu.

"A sign has appeared in front of you, it's a giant stone tablet!" Void Feiyu told Lin Ruo what he had discovered.

"The aura here is much higher than in other places, and it should be on the ground. Lin Ruo's emotions were a little excited.

Under the leadership of Xufeiyu, the two of them took a few breaths to reach their destination.

The two of them were at the entrance to a valley shrouded in white mist.

At the entrance of the valley, there is a boulder more than ten zhang high, and the boulder is engraved with the words "Holy Spring Forbidden Land, Death to Trespassers!"

The eight characters exude a compelling atmosphere, and you can feel the earth-shattering momentum of the lettering person when you see the words.

Lin Ruo and Xufei Yu looked at each other, knowing that the location of the Holy Spring Spirit Vein was in front of them.

"Brother, it's likely that we're under the watchful eye right now!" said Void Feather as he propped up the talisman enchantment.

"Probably not, I just investigated, that formation blocks the exploration of divine power, since the formation can block the detection of divine power, then this is a rule, if there are people in the formation, even if their cultivation is high, they can't detect us. Lin Ruo lit a tobacco stick and thought calmly.

"Brother, what you said makes sense, so what should we do now, break the formation?" Xu Feiyu looked at Lin Ruo and asked.

"The formation is a very complicated Earth Shatter Mist Array, and it can be broken if it is broken, but if there is a master inside, then all the previous efforts will be lost. Lin Ruo thought for a moment and said.

"My sister feels that the spiritual energy near this holy spring spiritual vein is strong, and it needs to be guarded, so it is very likely that there is a master inside, maybe that Ling Wuchen is cultivating inside. Xu Feiyu analyzed it and said his own judgment.

"There will be movement in the broken formation, and then it will be discovered, or we will dig a hole in the ground!" Lin Ruo gritted his teeth and said.

"Brother, do you mean to enter from underground? That's not good, there must be energy fluctuations when you dig a hole in the ground, can that master not feel it?"

"Dig here, it will be discovered, but I feel that this holy spring spirit vein will be underground, and there will be branches underground, we will dig outside the formation, dig to the branches, and then control the Xuan Spirit Realm to slowly enter, and the rest is to look for opportunities. Lin Ruo threw away the tobacco stick and said.

"My brother said that, I think it's feasible, but where to dig from?" Xu Feiyu felt that Lin Ruo's method was the only feasible way.

"Where the terrain is low and the aura is strong, we dig from there. Lin Ruo knew that digging a hole in the ground might be a very difficult siege, but it was the only way.

Lin Ruo thought about flying in just now, but in fact it didn't work, because he had explored just now, the Earth Demon Mist Array was a semi-circular cover, enveloping the valley, and flying into it still fell into the big array, and it was also necessary to break the formation.

Lin Ruo and Xufei Yu, who had made a decision, began to wander around the big array, looking for a place to start.

The two of them were not in a hurry, because knowing a good digging point would save a lot of effort, and if they didn't dig accurately, the hard work would be in vain.

Most of the day passed, and the two of them did not find a place with low terrain and strong aura.

"Brother, there's no suitable place here?" After turning for most of the day, the two came to a small mountain col more than a hundred miles away from the forbidden land, and Xu Feiyu said as he crossed his waist with one hand and tidied up his hair here with the other.

"Sister, what do you think of this black iron pine?" Lin Ruo said, pointing to a tall pine tree more than ten feet in front of the two of them.

"The black iron pine is hard, and because of this, it grows slowly, and it is very difficult to see such a black iron pine. Void Feather looked at Black Iron Pine and said.

"There are a lot of black iron pines around, but they can't be compared to this one, what does that mean?" Lin Ruo walked towards the black iron pine.

"Brother, do you mean that this Black Iron Pine is likely to be closer to the branch of the Holy Spring Spirit Vein?"

"Yes, maybe its roots are closer to the branches of the Holy Spring Spirit Vein, so its growth rate is far faster than that of other black iron pines. Lin Ruo circled around the black iron pine.

"It makes sense, the situation of this black iron pine is different from other black iron pines. "The Void Flying Feather burst out of divine power and began to investigate.

After probing for a while, the two found a relatively empty spot at the root of the black iron pine.

"Sister, you rest first, I'll start digging!" Lin Ruo took out the long sword that he found in the mink cave and was a divine weapon in the eyes of others, and cast a fist with his left hand, and the sword qi in his right hand began to dig.

Xu Feiyu was not idle, he took out the tea set in the storage ring and began to make tea.

Normally, digging a hole requires getting the waste soil out, but if Lin is not, he uses his fist to squeeze the excess soil to both sides of the cave, which avoids the trouble of dumping the waste soil and strengthens the solidity of the cave.

This is a relatively patient job, and after half a day, Lin Ruo dug in obliquely for five or six zhang.

"Brother, take a sip of tea first!" said Xu Feiyu as he poured Lin Ruo a cup of tea.

"It seems that we are looking for the right place, I have carefully investigated, and the aura underground is indeed much richer than that on the ground. Lin Ruo took a sip of tea and said.

After drinking tea and smoking a tobacco stick, Lin Ruo entered the hole in the ground and continued to dig.

Two days passed, Lin Ruo dug down more than 20 zhang, mainly because the further down the more difficult it became, in fact, Lin Ruo was full of energy, because the further down the aura, the stronger the aura.

With a punch from Prajna, Lin Ruo's heart opened up, because the divine power detected that there was a space under six or seven zhang.

The space is like a karst cave, and there is a small river flowing slowly underground, and the river water is full of rich aura.

This situation made Lin Ruo very happy, and he flashed out of the hole in the ground and came to the Black Iron Panasonic, "Sister, I'm almost digging through, and I will dig a space in six or seven zhang." ”

"It's going to be dug through, great!" Void Feiyu was very excited in his heart.

Lin Ruo arranged a formation near the entrance of the cave, and then pulled the Void Flying Feather down the hole together.

"Brother, be careful, don't make too much noise. Void Feather reminded in a whisper.

Lin Ruo didn't speak, nodded and waved his long sword and continued to dig.

Because he was about to reach the ground, Lin Ruo was worried about causing energy fluctuations, so he didn't dare to use the Panruo Fist again.

When he was still three feet away from digging through, Lin Ruo stabbed out with a sword, stabbing a small hole in the cave wall, and then made a gesture at the Void Flying Feather, and with a turn of divine power, he brought it into the Xuan Spirit Realm.

"Brother, what should I do next?" asked Xufeiyu.

"The two of us can't go underground, we can only control the slow movement of the Xuan Spirit Realm, and then act when the opportunity arises. Lin Ruo took out two jars of jade liquor, threw one to Xufeiyu, and opened one by himself.

After resting for half an hour and recovering his strength, Lin Ruo controlled the entire Xuan Ling Realm from the small hole pierced by the long sword and floated out.

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruo lowered the Xuan Spirit Realm into the water, and then controlled it slowly against the current, while the divine power spread out in all directions.

With the investigation, Lin Ruo found that the current situation was almost the same as the place where the Netherworld Spring was located, the energy was emitted by the river, the difference was that in terms of energy, the aura energy here was much weaker than the Netherworld energy.

Lin Ruo knew that it was normal, after all, the Nine Shadows Land was dominated by Netherworld energy, if the energy of this Holy Spring Spirit Vein was too strong, it would be a two-way world.

There is pressure to control the Xuanling Realm against the current, but Lin Ruo, who is still an emperor-level cultivator, can bear it, but the speed of progress is very slow.

In half an hour, Lin Ruo controlled the Xuan Spirit Realm and advanced for more than forty miles.

"It's getting closer, brother, you have to be careful. Xu Feiyu said with some concern.

"It's a very winding river, and now we're only less than a third of the way through. Lin Ruo measured the distance on the ground and said.

"It's a good thing that there are a lot of twists and turns, after all, no one's divine power can turn around, maybe then we will be much safer. Void Feiyu felt a little more at ease.

After talking to Xufei Yu, Lin Ruo continued to control the Xuanling Realm and continued to move forward, and as he got closer and closer to the forbidden land, Lin Ruo also became more and more cautious.

When the river made a sharp turn, a strong energy pierced Lin Ruo's spirit, and he knew that he had reached the ground, and his divine power swept away, and he found a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man closed his eyes and meditated, there was no energy fluctuation on his body, just like a scholar, but Lin Ruo knew that this person was the guardian of the Holy Spring Spirit Vein, and he instantly withdrew his divine power, tightly wrapped the Xuan Spirit Realm and sank to the bottom of the water and did not dare to move.

It's not that Lin Ruo is making a fuss, because the middle-aged man feels the same as the heavens when he gives Lin Ruo, and he is back to basics.

When Lin Ruo's divine power swept away, the middle-aged man opened his eyes, and his eyes were shooting in all directions.

"Since you're here, come out!" I admire Your Excellency's methods. The middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands and spoke.

Lin Ruo's divine power only wrapped around the Xuan Spirit Realm, but the middle-aged man's voice still came into his ears clearly.

knew that it had been discovered, but Lin Ruo didn't move, he planned to wait and see what the middle-aged man had.

"Don't come out, this seat is old, but not to the extent of ignorance, you are here just for the holy spring, but with this seat you don't have a chance. With a wave of his arm, a pale cyan shroud shrouded the source of the river.

"Sister, we were discovered by a horrible guy. Lin Ruo said to Xufei Yu.
