The members of the Xianlai Sect suppressed their laughter—
Actually, you really did just "say" it for us to hear.
However, the more Mo Jiuwei thought this way, the less they dared to reveal that they could hear her thoughts.
Saying it wouldn't change the current situation, it would only increase their troubles!
The cave entrance is right here, the location is right above! Suddenly, Mo Jiuwei discovered the traces of the cave entrance.
Almost at the same time, Old Man Liu and the others also discovered the location of the cave entrance.
"Uncle Liu, I will go with you," Chen Lan said immediately. "The others should not enter; otherwise, with too many people, the commotion will be large, and it might ruin things."
Her and Liu Feng's cultivation levels were the highest among these people, and they were more agile, making it easier to both enter and retreat.
The cave entrance is so narrow that if too many people go in, it will be difficult to even retreat.
"Alright, you all wait outside. It is best to hide your figures so you are not discovered by others."
Liu Feng said this and walked into the cave first.
"Yes!"
Chen Lan followed closely behind, and naturally, Mo Jiuwei, who was being held in her arms, went in as well.
This was also the reason why Chen Lan wanted to enter the cave, because only if she went in could Mo Jiuwei naturally go in with her.
If one wants to find a spiritual object quickly, they cannot do without Jiu Wei's help!
And the facts were indeed so.
On the left side!
Choose the path on the right side!
We've arrived, we've arrived!
Earlier, they were still walking according to Mo Jiuwei's guidance, but before they could even hear her last sentence, Liu Feng and Chen Lan fixed their gaze on a spot.
They had already seen where the spiritual object was.
There was a stone shaped like a bamboo shoot, hanging vertically downwards, very long, with a color clearly different from the surrounding rocks, shimmering with a jade-like luster.
And right at the "tip of the shoot," a milky white liquid was dripping down drop by drop, and the intense spiritual energy in the surroundings was coming from there.
"The color of this pool of water on the ground is normal; its 'spiritual transformation' must have just begun," Chen Lan said happily.
Spiritual transformation is the conversion of spiritual energy. Before the spiritual object was born here, the tip of the shoot was also dripping water, but it was just ordinary liquid that did not contain spiritual energy.
But after enough spiritual energy had accumulated, what dripped out was no longer water, but spiritual water.
"This is Spirit Nurturing Water," Old Man Liu's gaze even carried a hint of eagerness.
This was a spiritual object he had only seen in jade slips; he had only seen it in books and heard about it from others in his entire life. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes!
He took a deep breath, feeling that the spiritual energy here was so dense that just one breath felt like it was surging into his limbs and bones. His body felt as comfortable as a person who was extremely thirsty drinking a large gulp of water, so comfortable that he wanted to sigh.
Don't get intoxicated, hurry up and collect the item! Mo Jiuwei was anxious.
Hurry up! Fighting has already broken out outside. Soon, the winner will be the first to break into the cave, and we don't have much time left!
Old Man Liu gave a start and immediately woke up.
He looked over and saw that Chen Lan beside him was also lost in the intoxication.
It was not that they were inexperienced, but rather that a cultivator's thirst for spiritual energy is carved into their bones. Unless one is a Great Power with profound cultivation, few ordinary people can remain calm in front of a spiritual object.
However... Mo Jiuwei was clearly not an ordinary person.
Old Man Liu thought to himself, and his movements were not slow. He first took a few large steps to the front of the spiritual object, then took out an empty bottle and began to collect the Spirit Nurturing Water.
This Spirit Nurturing Water cannot touch other water, so the Spirit Nurturing Water that had already dripped down had lost its effectiveness.
"Drip, drip..."
Drops of Spirit Nurturing Water dripped into the bottle at a slow pace. These few drops were pitifully small, not even filling the bottom of the transparent bottle.
The time for spiritual transformation usually does not exceed the time it takes to brew a cup of tea; let's collect as much as we can.
Not good! The people outside are about to come in!
Mo Jiuwei suddenly moved her head, then reached out and grabbed at the air, wanting to use this to remind them to leave quickly.
To avoid alerting those people, she did not make a single sound from beginning to end.
Old Man Liu and Chen Lan's hearts sank. They had already heard the sounds coming from the distance in the cave; not only were people breaking in, but it was also accompanied by the sound of fighting.
The fights between Great Powers would not end in a short while, and besides, there were so many people outside just now, how could a winner be decided quickly?
But the time for the spiritual object to appear was limited. They could wait, but the spiritual object could not. By the time they finished fighting, the spiritual object might have already disappeared!
So, seeing that the situation was not right, they simply rushed in headlong, fighting as they went.
Old Man Liu and Chen Lan exchanged a glance, and then the two of them left without hesitation, put away the bottle, and turned to retreat along the path they came from.
They had only collected a little bit of Spirit Nurturing Water, so little that the bottle felt light, as if it were empty.
But having some is better than having none, and dragging it out any longer would only lead to a dead end.
Not long after they left, the Golden Core cultivators had already fought their way to this spot.
"It's actually Spirit Nurturing Water!" Someone sharp-eyed saw the situation here and could not help but be overjoyed.
"Not good, the time for the Spirit Nurturing Water to appear is less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. We have already wasted quite a bit of time; we must finish this quickly!"
As they spoke, those people began to wave their weapons again, and talismans flew everywhere. The entire cave was filled with flashes of spiritual energy, which was quite spectacular.
Someone wanted to take the Spirit Nurturing Water in the chaos, but was ambushed from behind and died on the spot without even touching the shadow of the Spirit Nurturing Water.
When the battle ended, the leader struggled with a severely injured body to collect the Spirit Nurturing Water, but only managed to collect three drops.
Because from the fourth drop onwards, the Spirit Nurturing Water disappeared, and the dripping water turned back into ordinary liquid.
"How is it, did you have a harvest?"
At the southern cave entrance, seeing Old Man Liu and the others return, Hu Jiu hurried forward to ask, "I heard the commotion, they have already broken into the cave. You didn't encounter them, did you?"
"No, we left quickly," Chen Lan replied, reaching out to wipe her sweat. "I really used all my strength."
In order to collect one more drop of Spirit Nurturing Water, they had to be a bit faster; otherwise, they would have bumped into that group of people.
"That's good, let's leave this place quickly."
As everyone spoke, they quickly left the vicinity of the cave entrance and found a deserted place to stop and rest.
"How is it, what exactly was that spiritual object?"
"Yes, I haven't seen a spiritual object yet, let us see what it looks like!"
Confirming that there was no one around, everyone excitedly stepped forward to ask.
Except for Old Man Liu, the disciples were all very young and had not seen much of the world, having only followed the Xianlai Sect through poverty and hardship.
How could they have seen a spiritual object!
"Take a look, do you recognize it?"
Old Man Liu smiled, flipped his palm, and a small bottle appeared in his hand.
The mouth of the bottle was plugged, and one could see the milky white liquid inside through the body of the bottle.
Milky white? Liquid?
Meng Ling's eyelids twitched, and she seemed to have a guess in her heart.
She carefully pulled out the stopper, and before she could even lean in to smell it, an intense, clear spiritual energy rushed towards her face, making her unable to help but take a deep breath.
