Spirit Spring

Long Chen and Bei Youer caused a massive splash in the river, holding onto each other they floated away.

"Brat what the fuck are you ?, some kind of social justice warrior, what the hell was that ?".

"Geezer what are you talking about, I, Long Chen, am all about righteousness"

Long Chen spoke in indignation and put on an expression of being a lonely hero.

"Bleurgh don't make me threw up"

The Yama emperor's face convulsed in disgust.

Looking at Long Chen's Conduct, the Yama emperor wondered If some devil cultivator like himself occupied Long Chen's body.

'The air has gotten a lot denser maybe the spirit spring is located is in this valley' Paying no heed to Yama emperor Long Chen inspected the surroundings.

Seeing the varying density of the fog, he seemed to have realized something.

Trying to confirm his conjecture, Long Chen swam towards the direction where he felt the fog to be densest.

"Ey that way It will be foggier there might be a spirit spring"

Long Chen noticed that his injuries were being healed by the spirit fog, he felt a soothing sensation all over his body.

Seeing the fog getting denser Bei Youer who had been quiet all this while, tightened her grip onto Long Chen's hands, who reciprocated by light squeeze of her small delicate hand.

At one point even Bei Youer was barely visible to Long Chen when he took a step forward and all the fog vanished.

What they saw, was something both of them never forget in their lives.

The Sight was so beautiful that it made them forget about everything else for a moment.

…

Fang Qian and Fang Qingmei were running towards the point where they had parted ways with. They were followed by 3 middle-aged men who had dignified expressions on their faces, which contained both worry and excitement.

They were Long Chen, Bei Youer, and Fang sibling's fathers respectively.

They were experienced cultivators and had the same idea as Long Chen, and started moving closer to the fog.

Soon they noticed traces of fighting.

Fang Qian picked up a dagger "this belonged to youer"

Bei Song had a gloomy expression seeing this.

He clenched his fists hard, it was rare to see the mild-tempered Bei Song in such a frenzied state of thinking.

Long Aotian was aware of what they were thinking so he ushered everyone to hurry up.

Very soon they caught sight of the group.

Long Aotian suddenly cautioned the group by waving his hand.

"Fang Qian you go ask them about chener and youer, the rest of us will be hiding as it will make them put their guard down"

'Sly fox'

Thought the other 2 men and hurriedly nodded.

Fang Qian wanted someone else to take the lead, but seeing the stern eye given by his father, he could only helplessly comply.

Slowly walking he made his way towards the bandits, to put their guard down.

"Greetings Senior have you seen 2 juniors, a boy and a girl".

The bandits were trying to locate treasures, but an outta nowhere a fatty bumped into them.

"Who is this fatso"

"Is he with that boy and girl earlier"

"Enough" Mountain Ax interrupted.

"Let's take him, hostage, it may help us locate that boy and girl".

Listening to these threats, the 2 middle-aged men confirmed their conjectures.

"Is that so" Long Aotian casual voice sounded from afar, after which an essence gathering cultivators pressure descended onto the bandits.

The other 2 also started applying pressure on the bandits.

The bandits started losing their marbles, how the hell did they provoke these 3 malefic existences.

"Seniors h-how can this junior be of assistance".

"Seniors we haven't seen anyone".

"Please spare us, we will lead you to a treasure".

The previously fierce and domineering Mountain Ax was now like a timid mouse, judging by their conversation the bandits had already realized that these people were related to the young couple, so they tried talking their way out.

'Damn it why did those brats not announce their backgrounds, shit I can't die yet, I haven't avenged my comrades yet'

"This Fang will deal with the interrogation don't worry".

Fang Yuan said with a baleful expression which gave Fang Qian some PTSD.

…

In the spirit spring, Long Chen and Bei Youer were standing facing their backs to each other.

They had undressed and most of their injuries were healed due to the spirit spring.

The fog blocked the majority of the sunlight, so the spring looked like a magical pond in the night.

It was as if the lake had been reflecting the sight of the dazzling moon, which was hidden by the clouds due to its sheer beauty.

The sight was so mesmerizing, that Long Chen and Bei Youer forgot about its effect and just appreciated its beauty for a while.

Since there was nothing to make a partition, Long Chen could only 'helplessly get in the pool together with Youer.

Long Chen felt his body invigorated, his body got free of all hidden impurities accumulated over his lifetime, giving nirvana to his physical body, along with reinforcing all his internal organs and viscera.

All the parts of his body were getting rejuvenated, including his veins and meridians.

After that Long Chen began cultivating the Primordial Dragon Transformation art.

He began tempering his viscera.

All his skin, muscles tissues were effortlessly being tempered by the spring.

Every inch of his muscle fiber was being rejuvenated. All of his old tissues and skin felt as if it was being replaced.

After about an hour Long Chen stopped, he had made tremendous progress in this aspect.

His muscles seemed a lot more compact but they carried a lot more power.

His skin had rejuvenated almost looking baby-like.

After a while, Long Chen started to cultivate his essence, the energy from the spring was very gentle and not at all forceful.

His cultivating speed was almost 10 times more than normal, making him ecstatic.

After a short while, crackling sounds came from Long Chen's body.

'3rd layer'

Without stopping Long Chen continued cultivating until his second breakthrough.

'I guess I should stop for now '

While taking in the spiritual energy cultivators comprehend heaven and earth's spiritual essence, if they level up on cultivation by repeatedly consuming high energy consumables, then their foundation would be unstable.

Long Chen once again started cultivating, but this time he suppressed his breakthrough and focused on comprehension.

Long Chen turned around to see Bei Youer was also done with her cultivation.

Seeing her, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat.

With her red lips and jade-like skin contrasting the lake created a picturesque.

Her Phoniex Like eyes seemed to be reflecting the entire moon.

Seeing this Long Chen out of nowhere hugged her.

"Ahhh" Bei Youer shouted in a panic a blush crept up on her pretty face.

"Youer from now on never say things like leave me behind.

As your fiance, I will always be there for you"

Listening to Long Chen's confession Bei Youer heart started beating faster and a tomato red blush crept up her face.

She lowered her head to avoid Long Chen seeing her like this, but she nodded.

"You have to always think of me and are not allowed to forget about me," Bei Youer said in a mosquito-like voice.

"Of course you have my word"

"Blockhead you can't go seducing other women from now on"

The Shyness lasted for a moment before she went back to her normal mode.

Due to the awkwardness, she was sounding a lot more unnatural.

"Hahaha not happening ever," Long Chen noticed this and started wheezing through his lungs.

The 2 of them started bickering like this when they heard some voices from afar.

"Long Chen" "Bei youer where are you"

"Quickly wear your clothes the reinforcements are here"

Both of them quickly changed and started shouting to draw them to their side.

Long Aotian and the gang quickly made their way to the spirit spring and upon entering, they were similarly stumped.

"How did you find us, daddy ?" Bei Youer tugged on Bei Song's Sleeve in a pitful manner.

Bei Song narrated what happened with the bandits, and how they spilled the beans.

Knowing that they were dead Long Chen and Bei Youer felt very satisfied.

"This is a spirit spring, everyone just soaking here will improve your talent and get rid of any hidden injuries. It's very helpful to cultivate the body, as it will be a lot faster and it is also used to cultivate the essence. "

Long Chen slowly went over the benefits of this spring, and the people listening couldn't help but have their mouths water, as this place seemed almost too good to be true.

Afterward, everyone made a partition in the spirit spring. One for men and one for women.

Seeing how crowded the men's section was Long Chen requested the ladies to let him join their side, the ladies refused at first but after a bit of sweet talk, they relented.

Seeing this Fang Qian was really going green with jealousy, but he didn't dare say anything.

Everyone agreed, that every day after training they would come here to train, and uncle Bei Song will bring a flying type demonic beast as a ride, to make it very convenient for everyone.

Reaching Home Long Chen immediately got pounced on by Xiao Bai.

"Big brother Xiao Bai made food for you today," Said Xiao bai while her face was beaming with a proud smile.

Seeing this Long Chen picked her up and kissed her on the forehead "Alright we will eat Xiao Bai's food"

"Young master little Bai worked really hard today"

Said Linger while leading them to a dinner table.

Long Chen saw that Xiao Bai's tiny little hands were full of cuts and there were some burns on her skin.

Seeing How much effort she put in, Long Chen ruffled her hair and made her sit on his lap.

Sitting around Long Chen noticed all sorts of delicacies, prepared by Xiao Bai.

There was fried shrimp noodles, Coleslaw wolf salad, One-eyed bat soup, Grilled water buffalo with grilled Serpent meat.

Everyone was impressed with Xiao Bai's work, so they didn't stint out on the compliments. She must have worked really hard to learn so much so quickly, so everyone felt very warm in their hearts, and feasted to their heart's content.

Time Passed….

It became a schedule for Long Chen to cultivate the body with Bei Youer and their dads in the morning along with training his battle arts.

After which they would go hunting in the forest for demonic beasts, before making their way to spirit spring.

Speaking of spirit spring, the one who benefitted the most out of it was Long Aotian, not only did he clear all the hidden injuries, poison, and impurities, even his cultivation made a breakthrough at the 7th layer of essence gather. The highest in the entire city, equal to Cheng Hao the branch leader of the black market.
