Lin Yan led the way, following the instructions of the beads, and finally saw the edge of the oasis. Fortunately, the prayer beads were very reliable this time, and they didn't lead him to find any weird people, such as Cangjia.
The two of them walked a few steps quickly and arrived at the edge of the oasis. They found that many people had gathered here. Because the place is not big, there is no need to bother looking for anything. At a glance, most of the scenery on the oasis can be seen.
Lin Yan discovered that the disciples of various sects gathered here were gathered on one side of the lake, while on the other side were some strange-looking beasts.
The lake water is sparkling, but the visibility is not high. Naturally, it cannot be called crystal clear, and it is impossible to judge how deep it is.
It doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but seeing so many people surrounding it, that lake should be the one in the rumors.
"Holy spring"! It's just that these people and animals are just surrounding the holy spring, but have no intention of stepping into it, as if they are waiting for something.
Lin Yan made a quick identification and found Tu Tian, Yuan Hao and others in the crowd. He spoke to Cang Jia behind him and said:
"I have classmates here, so I will go find them first. See you later!" After saying that, he turned and left. However, after walking a certain distance, Lin Yan found that Cang Jia was still following him, so he stopped and said:
"Is there anything else?" In his opinion, the two of them joined together just to find the location of the holy spring. Now that they have reached their destination, it is time to say goodbye. Why are they still following?
Cangjia hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let's go together for a while longer!" Lin Yan said doubtfully:
"Aren't you a disciple of the Buddhist sect? You should be with your fellow sects!" He had seen the disciples of the Buddhist sect just now, but they were scattered around. Presumably they belonged to different sects.
Cangjia said slightly embarrassed when he heard this:
"Well... I'm not very familiar with them, so..." Lin Yan looked at him thoughtfully, thinking:
"Is it possible that other Buddhist disciples also find him verbose?" Under Lin Yan's gaze, Cang Jia was obviously blushing. After all, this was not something worth showing off.
Lin Yan couldn't stop him anyway, so he stopped caring and let him follow!
"Senior Tu Tian, Senior Yuan Hao!" The two of them turned around and saw Lin Yan, and they were very happy. Yuan Hao reached out and patted Lin Yan's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Good boy, why are you here so slowly? I thought something had happened to you!" Lin Yan scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Something happened on the way and I was delayed." Then Yuan Hao turned to Cang Jia, who was following Lin Yan, and asked:
"This...master is..." Although Cangjia's dress was strange, it was not difficult to recognize him as a monk.
What's more, Yuan Hao and others entered the inner courtyard much earlier than Lin Yan, so they also have a certain understanding of the costumes of various factions.
Lin Yan replied:
"We met by chance on the road, so we came together." After hearing this, Yuan Hao was curious, but he did not continue to ask further.
Lin Yan was relieved when he saw this. In front of so many people, he couldn't say that Cang Jia was just a beggar and insisted on following him. It would make everyone look bad.
Yuan Hao didn't ask, so he naturally got rid of this layer of trouble. Lin Yan looked at the holy spring in front of him and asked:
"Senior, what are you waiting for? Also, what's going on with those beasts?" This time it was Tu Tian who answered:
"Junior Lin Yan, both humans and beasts here are waiting for an opportunity. By then, the concentration of the mysterious substance in the water of the holy spring will reach its peak, and that will be the best time to temper the body!"
"And those beasts are the indigenous people of this place. We are not willing to give up half of our position to them. These beasts should not be underestimated!"
"Their individual strength may not be very strong, but there are a lot of them in this 'sand tomb', and most of them are highly poisonous. At the beginning, there were a few people from small sects who did not believe in evil and took action. I killed several sand lizards with the intention of driving them out, but I was bitten and died of poisoning!" Yuan Hao on the side also said solemnly:
"Yes, that kind of toxin is extremely rare. Not to mention in this 'sand tomb' where there is nothing, even outside, it is impossible to prepare an antidote in a short time, so I can only compromise! "
"But fortunately, these beasts did not push too far. After all, the disciples of the various sects present were not cowards, and they were also afraid. Therefore, a pattern was formed in which the sect disciples and the local beasts divided the holy spring into two!" Lin Yan suddenly said:
"That's it!" In fact, this is normal. This environment is harsh.
There is such an oasis in the "Sand Tomb", and there is also a holy spring that can strengthen the body. Of course, what should be discovered most are the beasts that have lived here from the beginning, not outsiders like them.
To put it to the extreme, this place should have been theirs, but after disciples from various sects rushed in, they snatched half of the holy spring from their mouths!
Human beings consider themselves to be the primates of all things. If they do this kind of thing a lot, they will naturally not feel anything. In addition, they also have a nice name, that is - fighting for opportunities!
Lin Yan is not disgusted with this kind of behavior. After all, he is also one of these people vying for opportunities, and no one is nobler than the other.
However, from this incident, he realized more: only with absolute strength can he not suffer unfair treatment!
It was almost dusk when Lin Yan came. After waiting for a while, it was getting dark. And as a bright moon rose into the night sky, little ripples of light appeared in the holy spring.
"This is the moment!" Someone shouted loudly and plunged into the lake. The others seemed to be stimulated and rushed towards the lake one after another, for fear that they would be killed by others if they were too late. The opportunity was snatched away.
However, the area of this holy spring is only so large, and the number of humans and beasts here is really large. No matter how magical it is, it cannot withstand the absorption of so many people!
Previously, someone proposed to select some people to enter the holy spring, so that resources can be pooled, and the effect will be better for those who can enter the holy spring!
However, this proposal was stillborn before it was actually implemented, because people are selfish, and no one is willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve others!
What's more, even the three religions that are flourishing outside do not dare to say that they want to monopolize the holy spring at this moment. After all, public anger cannot be offended!
Moreover, it's okay for humans, but the key is how do you persuade those beasts? You know, they haven't fully opened up their intelligence yet, and if you communicate with them, the other party won't be able to understand you, unless you master an animal language.
In the end, everyone decided based on their ability, whoever can grab it will get it! After all, if you are not strong enough, you can no longer blame others!
As humans and beasts all entered the holy spring like dumplings, the originally small lake was filled to the brim in an instant, making it look quite crowded.
But there is nothing that can be done, no one wants to give up the opportunity that is so easy to come by. At this moment, humans are no different from these beasts!
However, although the previous proposal was not actually implemented, in order to prevent large-scale bloodshed, various sects still formulated some rules.
One of the most important things is that the opportunities in the holy spring can only be fought for by each other through techniques and other means, and direct attacks on others are strictly prohibited.
Anyone who violates this rule will be attacked by a group of people! This made these people feel much more at ease. After all, everyone is here for the opportunity, and there is no need to be the target of public criticism.
As for the beasts, they have not fought since they entered this water source. You can even see venomous snakes and jerboas living in harmony. It seems that there is a subtle rule that restricts their behavior.
However, the method of preventing fights is still more beneficial to the disciples of the three religions and major sects, because the skills they practice are of a higher level.
At this time, Lin Yan also knew that the key to this holy spring's ability to improve physical fitness was that the sparkling waves he saw on the lake surface were actually tiny golden particles.
As the exercise proceeds, those golden particles will immediately enter the body, and after running in the human body for a week, they will bring out the impurities in the body.
After repeating it several times, these golden particles will dissipate and be replaced by an improvement in the absorber's physique.
According to Qiu Lao's guidance, Lin Yan knew that the golden particles should be some kind of crystal, which contained a mysterious substance.
Moreover, these particles should have fallen off from elsewhere, and their concentration increased on full moon nights, thus forming this spectacle.
It's just that while absorbing these golden particles, the body will also suffer tremendous pain. After all, no power can be obtained out of thin air!
But most of the people who can come here are tough-minded people, so no one is giving up at this time, they are all gritting their teeth and persisting.
After Lin Yan absorbed it for a while, he felt that the amount of golden particles was no longer enough to satisfy him. He gradually got used to the pain, so he quietly operated the technique and increased the intensity of absorption.
Under his operation, a vortex suddenly formed within three feet in front of him, and all the golden particles poured into his body, like a river flowing into the sea.
The people around were also startled and stared angrily, because if Lin Yan sucked them all away, wouldn't they be gone?
But these people still did not choose to take action after all, partly because of the previous agreement. Of course, what's more important is that Tu Tian and Yuan Hao are still around!
From the previous conversation, these people also knew that Lin Yan was a student of the academy. They did not have the guts to deal with Lin Yan under the noses of these two people. They could only turn around and leave angrily, and then find a suitable place to absorb it. .
Tu Tian and Yuan Hao were equally surprised by the movement made by Lin Yan. They looked at each other and thought:
"This guy is still so amazing!" The skills they practiced were not bad, but there was no need to fight with Lin Yan, so they turned and left.
As for Cang Jia, he looked at Lin Yan with interest and said:
"There are more than one, interesting!" Then, he also left. After all, there are other places in the lake. It doesn't make much sense to compete with Lin Yan here, and he may not be able to win!
Lin Yan seemed unaware, just immersed in his own world of cultivation...
