Chapter 376: The Spring of Inspiration

Fang Wuqian, who was standing at the front, took the lead and strode into the stone door. Gao Yuyao and Duan Xueyi followed him immediately. They didn't find what they wanted in the alchemy room, so they could only put their only hope behind this last stone door.

"Hey! Why is there nothing in here?"

When Song Qingming was the last to enter the stone door, he soon heard a curse from Fang Wuqian, who was at the front. After looking around, he found that this stone room was really as he said, an empty room.

The size of this stone room was similar to that of the alchemy room next door, but there was nothing else except some dust on the ground and a stone bed against the wall. There was not even a table, chair or stone bench.

After looking around in the stone room, the few people still didn't find anything else in the room, so they had to give up the search and gathered together, with a hint of disappointment on their faces.

"Ah! This senior is so stingy. How come there is not even a meditation cushion in this bedroom for practicing and meditating? He really doesn't care about us, the younger generation!" Fang Wuqian sighed, sat down on the empty stone bed, patted the hard stone with his hand, and complained indignantly.

"Fang Daoyou, wait a minute, don't move!"

At this moment, Duan Xueyi, who was closest to Fang Wuqian, suddenly shouted and closed her eyes.

Her shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Even Song Qingming, who had already relaxed after entering the stone gate, suddenly became nervous and quietly took the Bishui Bell in his hand.

Not only Song Qingming, Gao Yuyao, who was standing next to him, also took out a flying sword and began to scan the stone room with great vigilance. After all, this was once a cave of a Jindan cultivator. If there was any danger hidden, it would not be a strange thing.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened after Duan Xueyi finished speaking, and Fang Wuqian, who was sitting on the stone bed, did not encounter any danger. Song Qingming and the others gradually put their minds at ease.

"Sister Duan, what's wrong? What did you find?" Gao Yuyao asked Duan Xueyi directly, but found that after she shouted loudly, she had walked forward a few steps and came to a place not far from Fang Wuqian. She was closing her eyes and meditating to feel the changes in the surrounding spiritual energy.

Fang Wuqian, who was sitting on the stone bed, was frightened by her. At this moment, he was sitting on the stone bed and did not dare to move at all, for fear of touching something dangerous. He did not even dare to speak, and could only look at the three people with his eyes as if asking for help.

However, what puzzled the three of them was that Duan Xueyi did not immediately answer Gao Yuyao's words, but said to Fang Wuqian again: "Fang Daoyou, please pat the stone bed with your hand as before. Remember not to be too strong or too weak, just do it the same as before."

"Fairy Duan, what are you doing?" Fang Wuqian asked casually, without much hesitation, and immediately followed Duan Xueyi's instructions, raised his right hand and did it exactly the same.

Song Qingming and Gao Yuyao, who were also somewhat confused, saw Duan Xueyi's strange behavior and immediately approached her position.

When Song Qingming approached Duan Xueyi, he suddenly felt a distinctly different spiritual energy fluctuation in his body. This spiritual energy was far higher than the spiritual energy concentration in this cave, and it didn't feel like it was emitted by the spiritual veins in this cave.

After Song Qingming entered the pool, he had already felt that the concentration of the surrounding spiritual energy increased as he went deeper into the water. After they broke through the magic array outside and entered the cave, the spiritual energy inside was close to the second-level upper-grade spiritual vein.

Originally, Song Qingming thought that this Jindan senior built the cave here because of the second-level water vein at the bottom of the pond. Unexpectedly, after approaching Duan Xueyi, Song Qingming felt that the spiritual energy was several times more concentrated than before. It seems that this senior's cave is not as simple as they saw before.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, come here first. The spiritual energy at the location of this stone bed is a little wrong. There may be something hidden inside." This time, before Song Qingming could speak, Duan Xueyi had already told him what she had found and walked slowly towards the stone bed that looked very ordinary.

Seeing that she discovered the clues of the stone bed so quickly, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. Duan Xueyi had already discovered something wrong before him when those monster crocodiles attacked them yesterday. Now she can detect the secret hidden in the stone bed so quickly. It can be seen that her spiritual awareness is not worse than Song Qingming, and it may even be better.

After hearing Duan Xueyi's words, Fang Wuqian finally put his mind at ease. He quickly stood up and walked to the side with a smile, making room for Duan Xueyi.

Duan Xueyi came to the stone bed, first walked around it, and then carefully looked at the positions close to the stone walls on both sides.

"How is it, is there anything else underneath?" Seeing that Duan Xueyi seemed to have found some clues, Fang Wuqian, who was standing aside, asked again anxiously.

Duan Xueyi stood up and smiled, shaking her head and said, "It's hard to say. I'm not sure if there is anything hidden underneath. Fellow Daoist Fang, I'd like to trouble you and Fellow Daoist Song to help move the stone bed away and we'll know!"

This stone bed is very large. It is cut directly from a natural boulder and weighs two or three thousand pounds. If it were Fang Wuqian's temper, he would definitely want to split it directly with a sword, saving time and effort. But now he also knows what treasures may be hidden underneath, so he naturally doesn't dare to use this method.

Like this kind of boulder weighing thousands of pounds, even ordinary foundation-building cultivators can't move it so easily. Fortunately, it's not difficult to cast a spell to move it with the combined efforts of many people.

After a while, with the hard work of Song Qingming and Fang Wuqian, the two finally pushed the stone bed that blocked the way aside, and then they could see clearly what was hidden underneath. It turned out to be a small puddle less than three feet in radius.

There is also a spring in the puddle that is constantly bubbling, but it seems to have been imprisoned by someone. Although water is constantly bubbling inside, not a drop of water can flow out.

After seeing the spring under the stone bed, everyone showed a trace of doubt, but only Duan Xueyi, who first discovered the abnormality, said with surprise: "This seems to be a spiritual spring."

"Spiritual spring? Fairy Duan, please tell me what this spiritual spring is." Hearing that Duan Xueyi seemed to recognize this thing, Fang Wuqian hurriedly asked with an anxious look on his face.
