Chapter 140 Lin Chuan: Yuan Yao, won't you come in and soak for a bit?
Lin Chuan's side.
After entering the inner palace passage, he did not rush forward, but stopped at a fork in the road.
A moment later, a streak of light arrived from behind—it was Yuan Yao.
Her face was slightly pale, and her breathing was somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating that the attack from the bearded man had taken a toll on her.
But to escape alive is already a stroke of luck.
"Yuan Yao".
Lin Chuan spoke, his tone calm yet authoritative: "Since you dared to come to the Void Heaven Palace, you must know a safe place. Take me there."
Yuan Yao was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
"Um."
She is a grateful person.
Lin Chuan had saved her life. Without him, she might have perished in the first trial, the Land of Ghostly Injustice, and the second trial, the Path of Ice and Fire. Now that Lin Chuan had spoken, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
"Senior Lin, please come with me."
"You're too slow. Get on my Sky Shuttle."
Lin Chuan waved.
Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
She flashed and landed on the Sky Shuttle.
The Sky Shuttle was not large to begin with, only about a foot long, and now that it was carrying two people, the space seemed a bit cramped.
The two stood on it, their bodies close together, and Lin Chuan could even smell the faint fragrance of a young girl emanating from Yuan Yao.
The fragrance was delicate and subtle, neither strong nor overpowering, yet it was refreshing and delightful.
Yuan Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, and her gaze darted away, avoiding Lin Chuan's eyes.
Lin Chuan noticed her unusual behavior but didn't think much of it.
This was a critical moment for his escape. He cast aside any lingering romantic thoughts and said in a deep voice:
"Give directions."
"Left...right..."
Yuan Yao composed herself and began to give directions.
Lin Chuan maneuvered the Void Shuttle, traversing the maze-like passage at high speed.
A network of crisscrossing bluestone passages, tall and solid thick stone walls, and stone gates carved with strange runes that you'll see at every intersection.
These stone gates are all the same size and shape, about ten feet long and wide, forming a square.
Some faced south, some faced north, and some were oriented east-west, seemingly without any discernible pattern. However, they all shimmered with a faint white light, clearly indicating that powerful restrictions had been placed upon them.
Lin Chuan knew that these stone gates could all be opened using the fragmented map of the Void Heaven.
But once inside, regardless of whether you obtain any treasures, you will be immediately teleported away from the Void Heaven Palace.
If he wanted to leave, he could now escape this dangerous place completely by entering one of the stone doors.
But he didn't do that.
He wanted to wait and see if he could become the biggest winner in this trip to the Void Heaven Palace.
……
Soon after, the two arrived at an extremely secluded passage.
There were very few forks in the road here, and the surroundings were deathly silent; it was clearly not the main path to the fifth level of the inner sanctum. Generally speaking, no one would come here.
At the end of the passage was a stone wall.
There are no restrictions on the stone wall!
Lin Chuan was overjoyed and immediately summoned his flying sword, breaking through the stone wall in just a few strikes.
Behind the stone wall was a separate room.
The room was small, about ten feet square, and empty except for a teleportation array carved on the ground.
This teleportation array was quite old, with rough runes, and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. But when Lin Chuan scanned it with his divine sense, he found that it was still usable.
He took the initiative, restoring the broken stone wall and sealing it with rubble and mud, so that no trace could be seen from the outside.
He then took out four mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and embedded them into the grooves of the teleportation array.
"Buzz—"
The teleportation array trembled slightly, emitting a soft white light.
Lin Chuan and Yuan Yao stepped into the formation, and with a flash of white light, the two disappeared.
……
When visibility improved again, Lin Chuan and Yuan Yao appeared in a light mist.
The mist was milky white, carrying a refreshing and invigorating fragrance that invigorated the spirit.
About ten feet ahead, a milky white pool, more than ten feet in size, appeared! The white mist and fragrance emanated from this pool.
"Such a large spring of spiritual light..."
Yuan Yao's mouth gaped open, her eyes filled with shock.
For ordinary Core Formation cultivators, having a spiritual eye spring about a foot in size is already a cause for celebration.
The one before us is over ten zhang long! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be envious of a Spirit Eye Spring of this size!
"It really is a great place."
Lin Chuan also sighed.
If one could cultivate here, a cultivator's cultivation speed would likely be several times faster.
He carefully looked around.
This is a huge stone chamber, about thirty or forty feet in size, with an ordinary stone door on each side.
In the center of the stone chamber was the Spirit Eye Spring, which stretched for tens of feet, with milky white water gushing forth and filled with spiritual energy.
On the opposite side of the pool, several meters away on the stone wall, there is a dragon head relief made of white jade.
The dragon head was lifelike and majestic, as if it were alive.
Three or four feet below the dragon head, there was a greenish-green groove from which some kind of liquid was dripping drop by drop.
"That must be the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk..."
Lin Chuan's heart stirred, and he quickly walked around the pool to the faucet.
Yuan Yao followed as well.
When she saw the liquid in the jade pool, she was completely stunned.
"This...this is ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk?!"
She exclaimed in disbelief.
Millennium Spirit Milk, a legendary treasure!
A single drop can instantly restore a Nascent Soul cultivator's mana to its full capacity!
It's a true life-saving miracle!
And here, there are so many!
Without hesitation, Lin Chuan took out a jade bottle and began to carefully collect the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk.
"Oh, right!"
Lin Chuan put away the jade bottle and looked at Yuan Yao.
"Is the treasure you're looking for inside?"
"Um."
Yuan Yao nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes. "I came here to find the Soul-Nourishing Wood."
Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the three divine woods, can be worn on the body to nourish the soul and spirit, gradually strengthening the divine consciousness. It is a rare and precious wood.
Lin Chuan turned his gaze to the two stone doors.
"Behind which door?"
"The one on the left." Yuan Yao pointed to the stone door on the left.
Lin Chuan walked over and placed his hand on the stone door.
There was a powerful barrier on the door, with flowing light and an aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Yuan Yao also tried to make a move, but found that her magic power hit the restriction without any effect, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
"This restriction... I can't break it." Her expression darkened slightly.
"I'll do it."
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and began to break the restriction.
Over the years, he has studied formations and restrictions, accumulating a great deal of knowledge.
Although the restriction was extremely powerful, it was gradually dismantled through his patient deduction.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
Finally, after several hours, most of the restriction was broken.
Through the thinning light barrier, one could vaguely see what lay behind the stone door.
It was a dead tree about ten feet long, its surface charred, rough, and pitted, making it extremely ugly.
But beneath this ugly exterior, it subtly exudes a unique, gentle aura that nourishes the soul.
It is indeed a ten-thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood.
Moreover, the base of this Soul-Nourishing Wood still has several tiny roots! This means that it can be replanted and cultivated!
"Once the restriction is completely broken, I want to take the bottom section with roots."
Lin Chuan spoke up.
Yuan Yao was slightly taken aback, then nodded.
"it is good."
Although she was reluctant to leave, she knew that she was able to get here entirely thanks to Lin Chuan.
Without Lin Chuan, she wouldn't even have been able to get through this stone gate. It's perfectly reasonable for Lin Chuan to take a portion.
……
With most of the restrictions broken, Lin Chuan was also a bit tired.
He turned and walked towards the milky white spring of spiritual light. When he arrived at the edge of the pool, he took off his outer clothes, revealing his strong and muscular physique.
Then, he stepped into the spring, immersed himself in the warm water, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"call……"
so comfortable.
This Spirit Eye Spring can not only quickly restore magical power, but also relax the mind and eliminate fatigue.
He leaned against the edge of the pool, closing his eyes to rest.
Yuan Yao, on the other side, blushed instantly upon seeing this scene.
She quickly turned away, not daring to look any longer, her heart pounding.
A moment later, Lin Chuan's voice, tinged with laughter, came through:
"Aren't you going to come down and take a dip?"
Yuan Yao trembled, and her face turned even redder.
