Chapter 1576: Chapter 1576: Obtaining Spring Water

As Fang Bai approached the Yin Yang Spring, he noticed that the piece of dark deadwood lying quietly inside his Space Ring seemed to be influenced by the pure and concentrated Water Element Qi within the Yin Yang Spring, quietly releasing a wisp of Wood Spirit Qi, emitting a trace of vitality, as if showing signs of magical rebirth.

This discovery made Fang Bai overjoyed.

“Fang Bai, you should give it a try too!”

Lu Liyu, seeing Fang Bai’s gaze fixed on the Yin Yang Spring Water with a look of joy, reached out and tugged his sleeve, whispering softly.

Fang Bai nodded, enveloped himself in Water Element Qi, and walked step by step towards the Yin Yang Spring.

“That young man… actually passed through the Water Spirit Qi Defense Qi Shield formed around the Yin Yang Spring!”

“He must have an Innate Water Spirit Root!”

“It seems he has the potential to obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water!”

“Not necessarily! For hundreds and thousands of years, it’s not unheard of for martial artists with Innate Water Spirit Roots to pass through that Water Spirit Qi Defense Qi Shield, but they have ultimately failed to obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water as they wished!”

“Why is that?”

“Because Innate Spiritual Roots also have levels. The purer the Innate Water Spirit Root, the greater the hope of obtaining the Yin Yang Spring Water, and the more spring water they can obtain!”

“Oh, I see. It’s just like water; some are murky, while others are clear. The clearer the water, the purer the Innate Water Spirit Root, and the more likely it is to obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water. Is that what you mean?”

“Yes, exactly. So passing through that Water Spirit Qi Defense Qi Shield is just the beginning, as to whether he can obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water, it depends on the young man’s fortune.”

…

Under the envious gazes of the onlookers, Fang Bai effortlessly passed through the Water Spirit Qi Defense Qi Shield surrounding the Yin Yang Spring and stood at its edge.

At this moment, Fang Bai was less than a zhang away from the surface of the Yin Yang Spring.

“Huh? The Yin Yang Spring Water is moving, what’s going on?”

Suddenly, someone among the martial artists exclaimed.

The other martial artists heard this and focused their gaze, indeed noticing that the Yin Yang Spring, originally smooth as a mirror, began to ripple without any wind.

It’s said that ever since the existence of the Yin Yang Spring, such fluctuations have rarely occurred, and the approach of that young man actually caused the surface of the Yin Yang Spring to ripple gently, no wonder the onlookers marveled.

At this time, everyone knew that the young man had something extraordinary, and in their hearts, there was more anticipation about whether he could obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water.

Fang Bai lowered his head and gazed into the distinct black-and-white Yin Yang Spring Water, took a deep breath, then gradually squatted down and extended his palms towards the surface of the water.

The breath of the surrounding martial artists seemed to hold, every gaze following Fang Bai’s hands, thinking that as long as the young man’s hands touched the surface of the Yin Yang Spring Water, he would be able to take the spring water away.

However, it’s said that trying to touch the Yin Yang Spring Water isn’t easy; there’s a possibility of encountering a more intense repulsive force the moment the fingertips touch the water surface, potentially resulting in severe injuries.

At this time, most of the surrounding martial artists felt worried for Fang Bai, hoping he could successfully obtain the Yin Yang Spring Water and create a legendary story.

Of course, there were also some narrow-minded martial artists with the mentality of “if I can’t have it, then neither should you,” hoping to see Fang Bai fail and suffer severe injuries.

“Fang Bai, be careful!”

Seeing the facial expressions of the surrounding martial artists, Lu Liyu also became nervous as if affected, clenching her fists tightly, with her heart hanging high.

“Splash!”

A soft sound of water echoed as Fang Bai’s fingertips touched the Yin Yang Spring Water, creating a slight ripple sound.

“Phew…”

Many of the surrounding martial artists sighed in relief, and Lu Liyu’s hanging heart also relaxed.

A small part of the martial artists had their expressions turn a bit grim.

They didn’t expect Fang Bai to touch the Yin Yang Spring Water so easily, meaning the spring water was now at his disposal.

Fang Bai first dipped his fingers, then his entire palm into the Yin Yang Spring Water.

A surging and magnificent life essence emerged from the Yin Yang Spring Water and enveloped Fang Bai’s entire body. He suddenly felt the vigorous vitality of all things growing, filling him with power.

It was as if the black-and-white spring water, with the Yin Yang Fish embracing, rapidly accelerated its rotation as Fang Bai’s hands immersed in it, and the released Water Spirit Qi seemed even more concentrated.

Past experience told Fang Bai that he only had mere tens of breaths to collect the water; after those few moments, even if his cultivation level were several times stronger, he would still be mercilessly thrown out by the Yin Yang Spring Water.

Moreover, the Yin Yang Spring seemed to have a memory; once touched by a martial artist, it would take a hundred years before they could approach it again.

Fang Bai took out a jade bottle with a relatively large capacity from the Space Ring and swiftly filled it with Yin Yang Spring Water.

The bottle he filled held Yin Yang Spring Water that wasn’t enough for an adult to drink a hundred mouthfuls, yet it accounted for a tenth or so of the total Yin Yang Spring Water, highlighting its rarity.

With the Yin Yang Spring Water losing a tenth or so, the water level noticeably lowered, leaving some onlookers envious, while others felt jealous.

Some more powerful martial artists, seeing that Fang Bai was only at the high rank of the Golden Core Realm, and his three companions were just at the low rank of the Golden Core, had a gleam of malice flickering in their eyes.

The Yin Yang Spring Water, rumored to ‘bring the dead back to life and regrow bones,’ was regarded as a treasure among martial artists, leading many to risk their lives and spare no expense to seize it.

After filling one bottle with Yin Yang Spring Water, as he watched the black-and-white spring water’s swirling speed gradually slow down, Fang Bai rapidly retreated more than ten zhang.

Just as he withdrew, the Water Spirit Qi Defense Qi Shield within several zhang around the Yin Yang Spring reformed, preventing other martial artists from entering again.

“Brother Fang, you’ve obtained this divine spring, it’s best not to linger here; let’s leave quickly!”

Lu Dong, always observant, saw many martial artists around with malign intentions, knowing that they coveted the Yin Yang Spring Water Fang Bai had collected, hurriedly urged.

Thus, Fang Bai, Lu Liyu, Lu Dong, and Shui Mo, using their Spiritual Artifacts, took to the sky, flying toward the Flower Pavilion.

After flying several hundred Baili, more than a dozen divine rainbows closed in from behind at high speed, revealing more than a dozen Golden Core Realm experts.

“Leave the Divine Spring Water and we’ll let you go!”

After catching up with Fang Bai’s group of four, those more than a dozen Golden Core Experts hovered in the air, surrounding them. One of them, brandishing a Spiritual Artifact, pointed at Fang Bai, saying with a sinister expression.

The rest of the powerful experts also shouted, with tones full of threat.

Among these dozen or so Golden Core Experts, two had reached Golden Pill Perfection, while the others ranged from mid- to high-rank Golden Core, gathering together forming a force not to be underestimated.

However, such a formation might only intimidate Lu Dong and Shui Mo.

Lu Liyu already knew that Fang Bai had two Nascent Soul Realm puppets in his Space Ring, let alone these dozen Golden Core Experts; even if their number doubled, they would not be feared.

As for Fang Bai himself, he didn’t even bother to glance at them, casually saying, “If you don’t want to die, get lost!”
