After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 85 Nine Nether Springs

Just as everyone had agreed, Chen Lan and Liu Feng staggered their dates, so that they were one after the other, exactly four consecutive days apart.

This was the day Liu Feng went to the Nine Nether Spring to cultivate.

Mo Jiuwei has released the Immortal Abode from its master-servant relationship; today, Liu Feng is the master of the Immortal Abode.

When it came to breaking the bond, Mo Jiuwei was nervous at the time, wondering if she was being too defiant and fearing that they would mistake her for some kind of monster.

Fortunately, everyone was only taken aback for a moment, and then they praised her lavishly, saying that she was a precocious genius who did exactly what she was told without anyone having to tell her.

Mo Jiuwei was embarrassed and could only force a dry laugh to cover up her awkwardness.

"Halt! Show me the order."

When Liu Feng reached the outside of the Nine Nether Spring, a cold-faced disciple stopped him.

The guards here are very strict, with disciples surrounding the area. They work in two shifts every day to ensure that no one can sneak in under their noses.

Liu Feng took out a token with the golden character "泉" on it and the character "陆" in the lower right corner.

The person took it, checked it, and then returned it.

"You are in Spring Area Six. Enter from the small path on the left. Each bump under your feet represents a new area you have passed through. Stop when you reach the sixth bump and cultivate there. Be careful not to wander around or switch areas. Each person can stay here for a maximum of eight hours per day. After eight hours, you can leave on your own and come back tomorrow morning for the remaining day."

"it is good."

Liu Feng noted it down, put away the token, and followed the man's instructions, heading towards the small path on the left.

When we were still some distance from the Nine Nether Spring, we couldn't see anything. But once we turned a corner and got closer, we could clearly see a white mist in front of us, and the air felt moist and crisp.

Liu Feng took a deep breath and felt as if every pore on his body was about to open up—

Even before we reached the spring, there was already such strong spiritual energy!

At this moment, Liu Feng finally understood why major sects were major sects. Putting aside everything else, the good things in a sect were something that smaller sects could not have.

Just this one Nine Nether Spring is worth millions, even tens of millions of crystals!

He suddenly felt a bump under his feet, which almost tripped him. He quickly stopped, regained his composure, and continued walking.

We had now reached the central area around the spring, where the humidity was even higher. However, the area used for cultivation was only slightly damp on the ground, not inside the spring.

This is natural; disciples are not allowed to enter the Nine Nether Spring, and it is protected, so no one can trespass. All the cultivation areas here are simply divided around it.

As Liu Feng walked across the area, he deliberately released his divine sense to sense it, but he didn't hear any noise, as if there was no one around.

But he knew it wasn't that no one was there; rather, the fog here had its own protective barrier that could prevent others from detecting it.

This put Liu Feng at ease.

It's good to have restrictions, so that I can lead everyone in cultivation without being discovered.

Liu Feng stopped after counting to six and turned left.

He sat down and quietly cultivated for a while, both to sense the concentration of spiritual energy here and to test whether anyone would come to investigate.

After a short while, once he confirmed it was safe, he released the immortal abode.

The members of the Immortal Sect appeared silently in the sixth area. Although there were many people, no one made a sound, and the silence was somewhat eerie.

The fog obscured their view of each other, but they held hands and kept their distance until they were standing properly before sitting down on the ground. Mo Jiuwei was placed on Chen Lan's crossed legs, while the Spirit Gathering Pearl was worn around Mo Jiuwei's neck and hidden in her clothes.

Wow, the spiritual energy here is so strong! Even breathing feels easier here.

Compared to this place, the Immortal Sect is truly a barren land... But so what? This is no reason for a major sect to look down on a minor sect!

[It's a bit of a pity that the capacity of the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pearl is simply too large; even after staying here for four days, it still won't be full.]

[Forget it, let's just take as much as we can fit. What's there to complain about when it's free?]

Mo Jiuwei was lost in thought, but after a while, she started to feel sleepy.

Her spiritual roots were not yet fully formed, so she couldn't start cultivating actively right now. And the place was too quiet, making her want to sleep.

Seeing that she had quieted down, the members of the Immortal Sect guessed that she was probably asleep, which made them smile indulgently, and then they settled down to cultivate.

Unbeknownst to them, their arrival had created some minor unrest here.

The cultivation areas of the Nine Nether Spring were originally very balanced, with each area being the same size. Normally, each person would have their own area, and even if a disciple with high cultivation came, the resulting fluctuations in spiritual energy would be limited, since there was only one "entrance".

However, now, eight people are sitting in Area Six. After they started cultivating at the same time, the Nine Nether Spring changed.

At this moment, in the Nine Nether Springs Management Hall.

Manager Hu was cultivating with his eyes closed, and every now and then he would habitually glance at the spirit mirror.

The Spirit Mirror is more like a miniature version of the entire Nine Nether Spring. You can clearly see the center, which is where the Nine Nether Spring is, as well as the thirty-two areas that are divided around it.

The mirror was a vast expanse of white, obscuring the disciples within it. However, upon closer inspection, one could discern the fluctuations of spiritual energy hidden within the mist.

It's like a wisp of wind, carrying the mist around; the strength of the wind varies depending on the disciple's cultivation level.

Just like the nineteenth area on the right-hand path, there is a Nascent Soul stage disciple cultivating there, and the wind he brings when he cultivates is noticeably stronger.

But at this moment, Manager Hu exclaimed "Eh!" and fixed his gaze on the sixth area on the left.

The mist there was also moving, but it was clearly not a single wisp, but rather... several wisps!

"Zhao Shen, what's going on?"

Manager Hu frowned, noticing something was amiss, and immediately summoned his deputy.

When Zhao Shen arrived, he didn't notice anything at first glance, but his expression changed upon closer inspection. "How could this be?"

"Go and find out which disciple is cultivating here," Steward Hu instructed.

"Yes."

Zhao Shen left in a hurry and returned after a while. "Reporting to the steward, I asked around and found out that this is the cultivation place of a disciple surnamed Liu from the Xianlai Sect. He is said to be a disciple of the Wheel School."

Wheel of Learning, Immortal Sect.

Manager Hu understood.

The incident at the mountain gate that day was so significant that everyone in the Qingyue Sect knew about it, and disciples had been discussing it for the past few days, so he naturally heard about it as well.

This disciple surnamed Liu was granted a spot by the sect leader as a special favor!
