As for honor... isn't it a coincidence? The Weapon Refining Competition is coming soon. This is a grand event attended by many sects. Getting a good ranking in this competition must be regarded as an honor!
It seems that we should take it more seriously.
Ning Zhishui didn't think any more. She found a raised spring wall and sat down, closed her eyes and started practicing.
Probably because the opportunity to come to Lingquan is indeed precious, even Qian Hong and Ji Yin cannot come whenever they want. The two of them have been practicing quietly since entering Lingquan, without even opening their eyes or noticing. When did Ning Zhishui disappear?
Ning Zhishui was awakened by a strange sound.
"Dong...dong..."
The sound was dull and deep, like the sound of drums coming from far away, sounding regularly and slowly.
I don't know where it came from. When Ning Zhishui first heard it, he thought it was something happening in the sect.
But there was another sound. Unless it was a shocking sound, it couldn't have reached here, right?
Ning Zhishui opened her eyes, listened attentively, and found that the voice disappeared suddenly.
Was it an illusion that I had misheard?
She quietly surfaced and found that Qian Hong and Ji Yin were still practicing quietly without making any sound.
Strange.
If they heard this, they would definitely stop practicing and look around now, just like me.
So, is it really an illusion?
Ning Zhishui thought and sank into the water again.
I returned to the original place and continued practicing. This time, I heard the voice again not long after.
The sound was distant and long, a little dull, and the thump... thump... sound seemed to be hitting the ears. The sound was not clear, but it could not be ignored at all.
Ning Zhishui suddenly opened his eyes.
"...let's go."
At this time, she vaguely heard the sound coming from above.
Ning Zhishui's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly exited the invisibility state, put away the jade silk and water-proof beads, and floated up carefully.
As soon as I swam out, I saw two people approaching here.
Qian Hong spoke to Ji Yin through the mist, but did not hear Ning Zhishui's voice, so the two of them swam towards Ning Zhishui's location in unison, intending to ask her to leave.
Unknowingly, six hours had passed. Their time in Lingquan was up and they had to leave quickly.
But Qian Hong felt a little strange when he came over, because as he got closer, his vision became clearer, and he found that Ning Zhishui was missing!
"Junior sister Ning..."
Just as he was about to ask Ji Yin, he felt fluctuations in the water, and then someone poked his head out from below, with a pink and moist face emerging from the water.
Ning Zhishui was soaked all over, even her bun was wet, and a few disobedient strands of hair escaped. Some were close to her cheeks, while others snaked to her slender neck, and continued to spread downward, disappearing under the water.
As soon as Ning Zhishui came out of the water, he was face to face with Qian Hong. Although he knew that they were close, seeing Ning Zhishui head-on still made him feel guilty and suffocated.
The girl's smart eyes turned around, they were clear and moist, as if they had been soaked in water.
Qian Hong saw her stunned and then grinned, "This spiritual spring is so big. I just went down to take a look, but I didn't see the end."
Ji Yin smiled, "I guess you disappeared, you must have gone down to play. It was the same as you when I came here for the first time, but this spiritual spring is bigger than you think."
Qian Hong also came to his senses, "Senior Sister Ji said that the time is up, let's go out."
He came out of the spiritual spring first, and with a wave of his hand, his body was clean and fresh, without any moisture left.
Ning Zhishui chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go then."
As she said this, she was about to hold on to the edge and go up, but she found a white hand stretched out in front of her. When she looked up, she saw Qian Hong nodding slightly towards her.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qian!"
She stretched out her hand, and with the help of her strength, she was standing on the ground in the next moment.
Ji Yin also came out at the same time, but her movements were very handsome. She almost flew out of the spring with a whoosh, causing countless splashes.
As soon as Ning Zhishui came out of the water, he quickly gave himself a trick. Only then did he lose the tight feeling of clothes clinging to his body and regained his dryness.
"How does it feel when you come to Lingquan for the first time?" Qian Hong turned around and looked at her.
"It's very good. My cultivation speed is much faster. This is really a good place." Ning Zhishui sighed.
She has also been to Lingquan, but it was from an outside training place. It was the first time she came to something like Xianlai Sect Lingquan where she belonged.
Probably because the site chosen by this sect is a spiritual place, and a spirit gathering array has been installed within the sect, the spiritual spring here is higher than the spiritual energy outside.
This is why the disciples of big sects and big families are far better than others. Under this kind of hard training, geniuses will go further, and mediocre people will have a much better life than elsewhere.
"There are five spiritual springs in the three continents, and our Xianlai Sect's spiritual spring ranks third." Ji Yin said, "It is indeed a good place."
While they were chatting, Ning Zhishui pretended to ask them unintentionally, "Brother and sister, did you hear any strange noises just now?"
"Odd noise?"
The two of them shouted in unison and looked over in confusion.
Can't they hear it?
"Yes, it was a thump. It rang several times. I don't know where it came from." Ning Zhishui described the sound he heard.
Both of them shook their heads, "I didn't hear any noise."
"Maybe I heard something wrong." Ning Zhishui also smiled.
After leaving the Immortal Forest, Ning Zhishui asked them how often they could visit the spiritual spring.
"I do it about five times a month." Qian Hong explained to Ning Zhishui, "One time is exclusive to elite disciples, three times is for points redemption, and the other time is for previous contributions."
In this way, his contribution is really quite a lot.
Ji Yin said: "I have earned points four times, one elite three times. Junior sister Ning, you have a great elder here, so you can come at least once a month. As for other things, it depends on whether you have a lot of points. If you have more points, everyone can use it." As for the number of times you can redeem Lingquan, the maximum is three times a month. If you exceed three times, you cannot continue to redeem it no matter how many points you have."
“How many points do I need to redeem at one time?”
"500." Ji Yin replied.
Ning Zhishui hissed.
In other words, her current points are only enough for one exchange?
Think about all the disciples, the average disciple only has hundreds or even thousands of points, which means that most people can only change their minds once.
But these 500 points have been exchanged for weapons and elixirs and herbs. Compared with practicing here for 6 hours, it seems to be more valuable to exchange for something real.
Qian Hong couldn't help but smile when he saw Ning Zhishui's expression, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Ning has just arrived, and her points will definitely be less than ours in the future."
Ning Zhishui nodded, "I hope so."
