Zheng Yiran didn't understand why Meng Huai wanted to go to that place, but Meng Huai generally didn't fuss about routes. Her suggesting it must have had a reason.
So Zheng Yiran agreed. Seeing that Rong Feiven's mecha was also almost repaired, they prepared to set off again. The direction was indeed westward as Meng Huai had said.
They didn't encounter any more spirit beasts along the way, but at Yun Sheng's request, they still helped him collect many flowers and plants. When they reached their destination, Meng Wu exclaimed upon seeing the scene before him, "A spirit spring!"
Then Meng Wen excitedly said, "This Fenglin Secret Realm actually has a spirit spring?"
After all, it wasn't a high-level secret realm, so they didn't expect to find something like this. Even Meng Huai was very surprised when she discovered it.
However, considering Meng Wen and Meng Wu's injuries, and the spiritual energy from the spirit beast meat Zheng Yiran and the others had consumed earlier still lingering in their bodies and unable to be absorbed, Meng Huai was thrilled to see this spirit spring.
These two troublesome issues for Meng Huai could both be resolved by the spirit spring. It was as if heaven favored them, and their luck was truly good.
Meng Wu and Meng Wen's reactions confused everyone. The viewers also commented: [What kind of spring is a spirit spring?]
[It looks like a bathing pool.]
[Aren't they just a few bathing pools?]
[Exactly, these pools in the wilderness are quite dirty!]
[They aren't going to have them soak in it, are they? I feel like there are a lot of bacteria!]
As if to spite the viewers, Meng Huai pointed at these pools and said to them, "All of you should go soak in them! The men over there, and the women here."
After speaking, Meng Huai directly took out several pieces of fabric from her spatial ring and threw them onto the camera lens.
Even though they would be bathing clothed, it was still better to avert one's gaze from impropriety.
With these arrangements made, Meng Huai then said, "What are you waiting for? Go soak!"
The moment Meng Wen and Meng Wu heard Meng Huai's first instruction, they had already followed her direction and gone to the leftmost pool to soak. They had already closed their eyes and begun to regulate their breathing.
Their poison had been somewhat resolved, and their bodies had improved significantly after taking some pills. However, taking too many pills would inevitably lead to pill toxins. Their luck was so good that they encountered a spirit spring. They absolutely had to take advantage of this opportunity, as it was the best thing for nourishing the body!
But the others, they didn't know how precious a spirit spring was. Therefore, they looked at Meng Huai with an expression and gaze that seemed to ask, "Are you kidding me?" as if waiting for Meng Huai to say next, "Oh, I was just joking." However, they never heard that.
Instead, they received Meng Huai's renewed urging: "Hurry up and soak. Spirit springs are very precious and rarely encountered. This thing can nourish the body."
Hearing Meng Huai say this, everyone understood her meaning. So it was a very precious thing that could also nourish the body, which made sense.
Zheng Yiran walked to the furthest pool and sat down, also closing his eyes and meditating like Meng Wen and Meng Wu.
At this moment, Zheng Yiran heard a message transmitted through Meng Huai's senses, which was similar to the cultivation technique Meng Huai had mentioned last time they ate spirit beast meat. It was a jumble of words, but Zheng Yiran's memory instantly retained it all.
Zheng Yiran began to try doing as Meng Huai had said, but it wasn't simple.
However, soaking in the spirit spring was indeed very comfortable.
On the other side, the others also entered the spirit spring, and now all of them began to meditate and regulate their breathing. The spiritual energy that had accumulated in their bodies was also nourishing them under the effect of the spirit spring.
Meanwhile, Yun Sheng, who had already begun his journey, was holding the books Meng Huai had given him, clumsily learning how to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit spring for cultivation.
At this moment, Meng Wen, who was nearby, opened his eyes and saw Yun Sheng frowning. He also saw him holding those ancient books and shook his head, thinking: The sect leader's method of training disciples, "The master leads the way, but cultivation is a personal endeavor," was starting again...
So Meng Wen skillfully moved closer to Yun Sheng to help him.
There was no other way. The sect leader herself had learned by studying books and figuring things out back then. Therefore, she felt that everyone could get started this way. However, Meng Wen and Meng Wu had helped her disciples a lot behind the scenes... Otherwise, some people might have collapsed under such a teaching method!
With Meng Wen's help and explanations, Yun Sheng found it much easier to understand. Thus, he soon joined the ranks of meditators, closing his eyes.
As for Meng Huai, she stood outside, guarding this spirit spring area for them. She wanted to prevent any spirit beasts from being reckless and, more importantly, to guard against those with malicious intentions.
If someone were to come looking for trouble at this moment and launch a surprise attack while these people were unguarded, it would be a sure hit! Therefore, Meng Huai stood guard outside, protecting their safety.
A day or two passed. Meng Huai sensed something and looked towards the spirit spring.
It turned out that someone else had begun their cultivation journey. After these two days, under the effect of the spirit spring, everyone had entered the Qi-refining stage.
This was truly excellent!
Although these people fought using mechas, cultivation was always beneficial. Strengthening the body—no one would refuse that, right?
