NOVEL WEB Chapter 107.1
“I was the one who was abrupt. I’m Huo Xing from the Tianfan Palace,” suddenly seeing the person in the rumors, Huo Xing was so excited that he forgot to introduce himself first. Then he said apologetically.
Huo Xing gained a lot from observing the celestial phenomena of Li Tianyan’s foundation building that day. Now he was only one step away from building the foundation. In order to make sufficient preparations, he decided to spend a day in Lingquan Pool. Unexpectedly, he met someone he had not seen for a long time.
Li Tianyan heard the Tianfan Palace; he knew only the direct disciples of the sect could live in these palaces. He immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him, so he nodded and replied, “Li Tianyan.”
Huo Xing was surprised when he heard the affirmative reply and looked at someone standing next to Li Tianyan. With his face half-covered, he must be his Taoist companion. “Senior Brother Li, are you going to Lingquan Pool? We happen to be on the same road. Why don’t I lead the way for you two?”
Here, due to Shangchi Peak’s restrictions, the cultivators could not fly with their swords, so they could only climb to the spiritual spring on the top of the mountain by themselves. Li Tianyan saw there was only one way up the mountain, so Huo Xing probably meant to show his goodwill by saying this. Although he was acting a bit familiar, but he was straightforward and not a crooked person, so Li Tianyan nodded in agreement.
When Huo Xing saw this, he immediately walked in front of the two of them, but he kept introducing Li Tianyan to suitable places for training in the sect. After telling Li Tianyan about the sect, he also talked about several good trial locations in the southern region. Just after walking half the distance, Li Tianyan had completely understood that this person was not only friendly, but he was also a talkative person.
“If you want to go out for training, you can go to the mission hall first. If there are suitable missions, you can also earn contribution points by going out.” Huo Xing explained everything in detail.
The direct disciples were all elites with good qualifications. Most of them were aloof and didn’t like to talk much. Huo Xing was usually relatively restrained, but for some reason, when he saw Li Tianyan, he wanted to talk more with him.
Perhaps it was because the other party had inadvertently given him a glimmer of enlightenment, which made Huo Xing unconsciously feel close to him, or perhaps because he saw Li Tianyan’s tender face and the fact that he had just entered the sect and was unfamiliar with the place, he subconsciously took care of him like a junior brother.
Although this man talked a lot, Li Tianyan did learn a lot about the Southern Territory from him, so he didn’t feel impatient. He just held Cheng Qi’s hand and listened to his details.
It wasn’t until Huo Xing paused that Li Tianyan asked, “Do you know what towns are at the foot of the sect?”
“At the foot of the sect?” When Huo Xing heard Li Tianyan ask, he was naturally happy to answer him, “There is a city at the foot of the sect, which is Chijin City. There are four small towns, about a thousand miles down the mountain from Biyun Gate, they are all affiliated with Chijin City.”
Li Tianyan nodded, but did not continue to ask further. He just thought about whether to go down the mountain first and check out those places.
At this time, they had reached the top of the mountain, and a large spring pool that could accommodate dozens of people appeared in front of them, but there were only a dozen disciples sitting in the pool practicing.
The sect’s Lingquan Pool was a place where contribution points were burned, and twenty contribution points were deducted in an hour. Everyone who came here had to race against time to absorb the spiritual energy. Even if they noticed someone coming, no one opened their eyes to check.
Li Tianyan raised his eyes to observe the spiritual spring and found that there was a layer of restrictions covering the spiritual spring. Standing outside, he could not feel the breath of the spiritual spring at all. It seemed that he could only enter with a disciple’s badge, but he heard Huo Xing say something.
“This is the spiritual spring used by ordinary disciples of the sect. Senior Brother Li is a foundation-establishment cultivator. He can come with me to the inner spring behind the peak. In the sect, foundation-establishment cultivators and direct disciples will have some special treatment,” Huo Xing finished. Then he took the lead and walked up the stone steps aside.
“Can I go too?” Cheng Qi couldn’t help but ask. He was not a foundation-establishment cultivator yet.
“Senio Brother Li can bring one person with him, but you can only share one spiritual pool.” Huo Xing thought that these two were Taoist couples, so Li Tianyan probably wouldn’t mind if they used the same pool.
After hearing this, Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi followed him with peace of mind. When they walked around the peak, they saw that there were more than a dozen small spring pools separated by nature on the back of Shangchi Peak. Huo Xing led people here, took out his disciple’s badge, and activated a restraint in the spiritual spring pool, then said goodbye to Li Tianyan and entered the pool to practice.
Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi also found an empty spiritual pool. After using their disciple badges to unlock the restrictions, the two of them stepped in. The contribution points on their badges immediately lost forty points. Cheng Qi couldn’t help but feel a little sad when he saw this. It was only an hour.
After calculating, the 10,000 contribution points given by Elder Tian Min were only enough for them to practice here for twenty days. No wonder there were so few disciples in Lingquan Pool, and few ordinary disciples could withstand such consumption.
