Chapter 59: The Water of the Earth Spring

  Lin Fan was also extremely annoyed by Xiao Bai's bold teasing, thinking to himself that his charm was truly so great? He had actually provoked a woman to the point of being unable to help herself.

  It seemed that Lin Fan had already gotten used to Xiao Bai's actions, and this time he didn't dodge or evade at all. He sat obediently in his original position and said, "Thanks for your trouble, Xiao Bai."

  A sly smile spread across her face, and Xiao Bai twisted her waist a few times before saying: "Legend has it that the thousand-year-old snow lotus of Tian Shan is a sacred product. After more than a thousand years, it can become a spirit and move freely at any time. Ordinary people are basically unable to obtain the thousand-year-old snow lotus, but there is a legend that says it can be obtained."

  "What legend?"

  "It is said that only those with the most sincere and pure hearts can obtain the Millennium Snow Lotus, but it's unclear whether this is true or false."

  Deep feelings and deep nature? Lin Fan didn't quite believe in this legend either, and he said to Da Bai, "A'Tu big brother, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't it you who encountered the nine-tailed demon fox on Mount Tian a year ago and got poisoned?"

  He nodded, and when he mentioned the matter from a year ago, Ya Tu's face turned somewhat unsightly. As the national teacher of the Beastman Empire, it could be said that he was second only to one person, and even the Emperor of the Beastman Empire would have to show him courtesy. Yet, he had been defeated by another Spirit Beast, which was truly the greatest shame in his life.

  It's worth noting that beastmen and spiritual beasts are fundamentally two different concepts. Beastmen are half-human, half-beast, possessing human thought patterns, so in the eyes of beastmen, they discriminate against spiritual beasts, thinking themselves superior to spiritual beasts. This is basically no different from how humans on the mainland discriminate against beastmen.

  In general, spirit beasts are not capable of transforming into humans, especially fifth-grade spirit beasts. However, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is an exception. Despite only being a high-ranking fifth-grade spirit beast, it can transform into a human and its strength far surpasses that of other strong beings at the same level.

  "The northern part of the Tian Shan Mountains is the territory of the nine-tailed demon fox. When the Beast Emperor was seriously ill, he urgently needed the water from the underground spring to cure him, but the underground spring happened to be located on the nine-tailed demon fox's territory. With no other choice, I had to engage in a fierce battle with the nine-tailed demon fox to obtain the water to save the emperor. Unfortunately, I was defeated and suffered severe poisoning. If it weren't for the Lin brothers' Qingling Dan, I would probably have died soon."

  "Yatu's hospitality", although the Qingling Dan is priceless, but for Lin Fan, being able to make friends with a powerful warrior like Yatu is far more valuable than a single Qingling Dan.

  "Yatu big brother, you've been poisoned, what about the Emperor of the Beastman Empire now?"

  "I heard that the Emperor of the Beastman Empire passed away a year ago, and now his young son is on the throne. However, this emperor has great ambitions, and under his leadership, I believe the Beastman Empire will soon have a brand new look."

  For his ancestral hometown, Artur has a strong sense of nostalgia. The location of the Tian Shan mountains is at the intersection of the Empire of the Sun and the Beastman Empire. As long as you head north from the Tian Shan mountains, it won't take long to reach the territory of the Beastman Empire.

  Yatu never returned to his own country, instead choosing to stay in the Empire of the Setting Sun. In fact, everyone was very clear that Yatu did not return to his own country because he had been poisoned and thought that he could no longer serve as the national teacher of the Beastman Empire, and going back would only lead to him being looked down upon by others.

  "Yatu big brother, can you describe to me the appearance of the underground spring water?" For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly became interested in the underground spring water. This time, he obtained five kinds of elixirs from the black small tower, and the medicinal materials needed for each kind of elixir added up to about thirty kinds, with six herbs for each elixir.

  "The water of the underground spring is the essence of the entire Tian Shan, and there isn't much of it. Every drop is a rare treasure, the water of the underground spring is sky blue in color and has a sticky consistency, just like a pile of paste."

  Upon hearing Yatu's description of the underground spring water, Lin Fan's expression changed in an instant, seeming somewhat uncertain. He continued to ask: "Brother Yatu, apart from being sky blue and having a sticky consistency, does the underground spring water also emit hot air, with a temperature high enough to roast a wild boar?"

  "Really, how did Lin brother know?" Ya Tu was also somewhat surprised. After all, the Spring of Heaven's water is only produced in the Heavenly Mountains and there are no other places on the entire Eastern Xuan Continent that have it.

  As expected, after confirming, Lin Fan felt a wave of joy in his heart. This time, he had obtained five kinds of elixirs from the Black Tower, among which two were the most against the heavens, named Zhu Yuan Dan and Xian Tian Dan.

  From the literal meaning, we can see that the two kinds of Dan medicine have different effects. Zhu Yuan Dan is prepared for breaking through the Great War Master, while Xian Tian Dan is even more against heaven, it is a reverse heavenly Dan medicine prepared for breaking through the War King after the Great War Master.

  Refining the two kinds of elixirs requires a total of twelve medicinal materials. Whether refining the Zhongyuan Elixir or the Xiantian Elixir, six of the medicinal materials include Di Quan's water. However, the information in the black small tower does not call it Di Quan's water, but rather Tian Yuan Water.

  Lin Fan was well aware that among the five elixirs, Zhu Yuan Dan and Xian Tian Dan were the most difficult to refine. The twelve medicinal materials required for their preparation were all rare treasures of the world, each one extremely hard to find.

  So when Lin Fan heard that there was a terrestrial spring water in the Tianshan Mountains, he had already made up his mind. No matter what price he paid, he must get the terrestrial spring water, because whether it was Yuanyuan Dan or Xiantian Dan, it would be of great help to his future cultivation.

  It seems that Artur has seen through Lin Fan's mind, and he asks: "Brother Lin, do you know about the water of this underground spring?"

  He nodded slightly, and Lin Fan didn't hide anything either, saying: "I'm preparing to refine a kind of elixir recently, and I urgently need the water from the underground spring. If the refinement is successful, breaking through to Great War Master from War Master, or even breaking through to War Emperor, won't be a problem."

  Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, everyone's face changed color. The little white sitting next to Lin Fan said uncertainly: "Lin brother, is what you're saying true?"

  A burst of laughter in his heart, Lin Fan knew that his two kinds of elixirs were very against the sky, just by looking at the Tong Ling Dan, he could imagine the effects of the two elixirs, saying: "Of course it's true, how can I deceive you".

  "Little White, don't interrupt, just take a look at Lin Brother's Qingling Dan and you'll understand everything." Big White's face was already excited to the extreme. Since his cultivation reached the high-level Great War Master, his cultivation had been stagnant and he couldn't make another breakthrough to reach the War King realm. Now that he finally had an opportunity, how could he let it slip away easily?

  "Lin brothers, does that mean that as long as you get the spring water, you can refine the elixir and make a great warrior's cultivation breakthrough to war king?"

  "The two kinds of elixirs I refined, the water from the underground spring is just one of the things needed, but without the water from the underground spring, I simply can't start the furnace to refine the elixir."

  After finishing speaking, Lin Fan thought for a moment and finally decided to head to the northern part of Tian Shan to find the Earth Spring Water. He said to Ya Tu: "Ya Tu big brother, I'm preparing to rush to the northern part of Tian Shan to find the Earth Spring Water. Can you draw me a map and mark the exact location of the Earth Spring Water?"

  "Lin brothers, I must remind you that the water of the earth spring is guarded by the nine-tailed demon fox, a fifth-level spiritual beast with strength enough to surpass even the strongest War King. Even if you can obtain the water of the earth spring, it's likely that you won't be able to leave safely afterwards."

  What Yatu said, Lin Fan would not know, a fifth-level spiritual beast completely surpasses a battle king powerhouse, even as a high-level battle king, Yatu is no match for the nine-tailed demon fox, let alone being only a mid-level battle master himself.

  Does Ke Lin have a choice? After all, the spring water is an essential medicine for refining two kinds of elixirs. Without the spring water, it's impossible to start the furnace and refine the elixirs.

  "Yatu big brother, I have a plan in mind. The water of the underground spring is something that I must obtain. Please draw out the exact location of the underground spring for me," seeing the determination in the young man's eyes, Yatu let out a soft sigh and said: "In that case, I'll accompany you on this trip."

  "I'm going too."

  "I'm going too."

  Apart from Lin Fan, the remaining five people did not hesitate at all and chose to follow Lin Fan together. However, Lin Fan's face was firm as he said: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but this time I have decided to go to Di Quan Zhi Shui alone."

  "Lin brothers", before Da Bai could speak, Lin Fan said again: "Da Bai brother, I have made up my mind, but I want to ask you for one thing."

  "Lin brothers, please say, what can big brother do for you?" With a faint sigh in his heart, Da Bai was very clear that the young man's mind was already made up, and saying more would be pointless.

  "This time I'm going to get the Spring of Earth, I have a 90% guarantee that I can get it. During this period, please help me take care of Meng Er, White Brother."

  "Brother Lin can rest assured, I swear to heaven that if Miss Meng has even a slight mishap, I will take responsibility with my own death."

  Just as Da Bai was speaking, Ya Tu had already drawn the location of the underground spring on a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Fan. At this moment, Ling Meng'er, who had not spoken until now, suddenly said: "Lin Fan, I won't go with you, but you must remember that you promised me two things, and before you fulfill them, you are not allowed to die, got it?"

  Listening to Ling Meng'er's somewhat unpleasant tone, Lin Fan was very clear that Ling Meng'er was actually concerned about him. He nodded and picked up the little meatball from his arms, saying: "Meng'er, can you help me take care of Little Meatball for a few days?"

  This time rushing to the Spring of Waters, Lin Fan didn't have any confidence at all, so not only couldn't he go with the five people together, but even Little Meatball couldn't be brought along, otherwise if something happened to him, wouldn't Little Meatball be affected as well?

  But before Ling Meng'er could react, the small meatball in Lin Fan's hand suddenly let out a loud roar, causing the entire cave to shake violently. Everyone's faces turned pale with shock, no one had expected that a small pig's roar would be so powerful, and without any hesitation, they all rushed towards the exit of the cave.
