I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

28 percent.

Thirty-three percent.

Thirty-nine percent.

The technician stared at the screen, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"It's still rising."

Cheng Fang frowned.

"What's still going up?"

"Instantaneous load capacity of meridians".

"It has already exceeded 40% of the previous level before entering the spring in the forest."

In the Spring of Washing Scriptures.

Lin Ye didn't hear any of this.

All he feels right now is pain.

It's not a physical pain.

It extends outward from within the meridians.

The milky white spring water didn't reach my waist or abdomen, but the spiritual energy didn't seep into my skin at all.

It's more like someone is pouring it into your body through every pore.

Each time the microcosmic orbit completes one revolution...

The meridians are stretched open a little.

Just fixed.

Another surge of spiritual energy entered.

Hang in there.

Repair it again.

This process was repeated over and over.

Lin Ye's forehead was already damp with sweat.

The wounds on his shoulders and neck that had been cut by the sword energy were visibly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the surface, it's a good thing.

But inside, it felt like it was about to explode.

Suddenly Wanling shouted:

"Stop inhaling intentionally!"

Lin Ye did not open his eyes.

"I didn't smoke."

"Then let's suppress the Small Heavenly Circuit!"

"It's spinning by itself."

"Then let it slow down!"

This was the first time Wanling's voice had been so serious.

"The Scripture Cleansing Spring is not for replenishing your spiritual energy."

"It's a ritual washing."

"If you keep turning around like this, your meridians will rupture before the medicine even finishes its effects!"

Lin Ye immediately changed.

Press down with the breath-concealing technique.

It's not about driving away the spiritual energy.

Instead, it forcibly stops the cycle speed.

The microcosmic orbit gradually slows down from its high-speed operation.

The pain finally subsided a bit.

ashore.

The technician saw the curve drop.

"It's stable."

Xie Hongyi also released her hand that had been gripping the sword hilt.

She had just been preparing to drag Lin Ye directly out of the spring.

"First time entering the Scripture-Cleansing Spring, are you all this reckless?"

Wanling sneered.

This isn't the first time he's been reckless.

Lin Ye opened his eyes.

"I can hear you."

"That's good to hear."

Wanling showed no mercy.

"Five minutes are up."

"come out."

Lin Ye glanced at his arm.

Faint, ethereal lines flashed beneath her skin.

The meridians were noticeably more relaxed than before I entered.

This feeling is strange.

It's like a road that was originally only wide enough for two cars to pass side by side, but it was widened by force.

He tried to muster his strength once.

fast.

And it's smooth.

The astringent feeling that I had after the previous battles was at least mostly gone.

"One more minute."

Wanling cursed directly.

"You think this is like taking a bath?"

"The medicinal properties are strongest in springs that have just been revived."

"An extra minute doesn't necessarily mean an extra penny."

"It might split into an extra meridian."

Xie Hongyi also spoke up.

"come out."

Lin Ye looked up.

"You say that too?"

"Because your face has turned pale."

"I wasn't dark-skinned to begin with."

Xie Hongyi looked at him.

I didn't answer.

Just one step forward.

The meaning is obvious.

If they didn't come out soon, she was really prepared to rescue them.

Lin Ye stopped trying to hold on.

Press your hand against the edge of the spring.

Get up.

The milky white line of water slides down from the waist and abdomen.

The technician was just about to hand over the towel.

Xie Hongyi grabbed it first and tossed it onto his shoulder.

Lin Ye caught it.

Thanks.

Don't misunderstand.

"I'm afraid you'll die in the spring and pollute the water."

Lin Ye smiled.

"Do you ancient cultivators always sound so awful when you try to show concern?"

Xie Hongyi ignored him.

But her gaze lingered on his shoulder and back for a moment.

Most of those wounds have already closed up.

The muscle lines became more defined due to the spiritual energy.

She quickly looked away.

Lin Ye didn't expose him.

The current level of ambiguity is just right.

Adding more will only prolong the process.

Cheng Fang has already retrieved the latest data.

See for yourself.

on the screen.

The spiritual energy capacity of the meridians increased by 41% compared to before entering the spring.

Continuous operation stability is improved by 26%.

The efficiency of the microcosmic orbit circulation is increased by 17%.

The most important one is at the end.

[High-intensity spiritual energy impact tolerance: Significantly improved.]

Lin Ye finished reading.

"How many times can the pulse-breaking technique be used?"

The technician said:

"This cannot be directly converted."

"It needs to be measured."

Wanling is quite direct.

"You used to experience menstrual cramps after three consecutive times."

"Currently in a normal state."

"We should be able to handle the fourth one."

Lin Ye's eyes lit up immediately.

This is what he wanted.

It's not some empty "increase in cultivation level".

This addresses the most significant weakness of the Wanlai Killing Method.

One more time can be taken to break the pulse.

This means that there is one more opportunity to seize the initiative in high-intensity close combat.

If you add a broken sound.

The difference is not small.

Xie Hongyi clearly understood.

"Can you use that qi-blocking technique continuously?"

"It didn't work very well before."

"And now?"

Lin Ye flexed his wrists.

"I want to give it a try."

"Who should I look for?"

Xie Hongyi glanced at him.

Lin Ye also looked at her.

The air was briefly still.

Cheng Fang interrupted him directly.

"Don't look at her."

"Let's look outside first."

A single sentence brought Lin Ye back to reality.

Although the group from the Candle Shadow Society has been suppressed.

However, another spatial rift in the mountain's interior has not yet completely closed.

Seven second-tier sites are currently under lockdown.

Further away.

There was another new fluctuation of spiritual energy.

It was not the Candlelight Gathering.

From behind the Sword Tomb.

Lin Ye put on his shirt.

I was just about to go over.

The technician suddenly shouted:

"The spring water level has dropped!"

Everyone turned their heads at the same time.

The water level of Xijing Spring is indeed lower than before.

It wasn't Lin Ye who inhaled it.

His consumption couldn't possibly have caused the entire spring to drop so significantly.

Wanling immediately said:

"Look at the spring."

Several people approached.

The forest opened its spiritual hearing.

Below the spring.

The previously stable upward flow of spiritual energy weakened.

It's not withered.

Instead, it was intercepted.

He listened down into the ground, following the change in sound.

soon.

A new tributary has been discovered.

It is flowing eastward from the bottom of the spring.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

Xie Hongyi's expression changed.

"The Scripture Washing Spring was previously only for inner disciples."

There shouldn't be any tributaries to the east.

Lin Ye looked up.

"Now we have it."

Cheng Fang immediately asked:

"Where to?"

Lin Ye closed his eyes.

Keep following up.

Ten seconds later.

His expression suddenly changed.

"It's not a natural flow."

"Someone is smoking."

We just arrested a group of members of the Candlelight Society.

Is someone drawing water from the spring again?

Cheng Fang turned and left.

"past."

Lin Ye, however, did not move.

He stared at the increasingly rapid flow of spiritual energy at the bottom of the spring.

wrong.

There was no sign of human presence.

No spells were activated.

Only formations.

Moreover, it's even more profound than the Sword Tomb set.

Older.

Xie Hongyi seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

"East..."

She suddenly looked up.

"That's the direction of Uchiyama."

next second.

The ground inside the mountain trembled slightly.

The surface of the Xijing Spring suddenly collapsed in a circle.

Behind the mountain wall in the distance.

A very low chime was heard.

thump—

It's not the Sword Tomb.

It's deeper.

The Bible suddenly tensed.

"Stop chasing."

Lin Ye lowered his head.

Why?

Wanling's voice was extremely deep.

"It's not that someone is dredging the spring."

"It's the entire Cangfeng Mountain."

"I've started to truly absorb spiritual energy."
