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

Chapter 89 Spring Spirit
In places where spiritual energy is too abundant, "spirits" may be born.

Spirits are intelligent, just as people have different temperaments, some good and some bad. Spirits also have different temperaments, and each spirit has different preferences and dispositions.

If the spirit is gentle and affectionate, it will obediently serve people and will not cause any harm.

However, if the spirit is mischievous or even violent, the damage it causes can be devastating.

Mo Jiuwei has been in the Nine Nether Spring for three days and hasn't found any signs of spirits. That's because she doesn't care much about this place and only wants to finish her cultivation and run away, so she hasn't paid much attention.

It wasn't until they noticed something unusual about the area where the alchemist was that they became more attentive and discovered the presence of the spring spirit there.

Judging from its appearance, this spring spirit is quite intelligent. It must have been born recently, but it has been very careful to keep it a secret from the people here, which is why it has not been discovered yet.

And what it wants to do is interesting—

It wanted to escape.

It didn't want to be just an object of plunder by a few people, bound to Qingyue Gate without any freedom. Instead, it wanted to secretly escape and regain its freedom.

But Mo Jiuwei knew that this was nothing short of wishful thinking; the Qingyue Sect was no match for the Xianlai Sect!

The protective array of Qingyue Sect is always open. Ordinary disciples have to be watched by the gatekeepers if they want to go out, let alone a dignified spring spirit.

Judging from the manager who suddenly arrived on the first day, it's clear that someone has been keeping an eye on this place all along, and if anything seems amiss, someone will come to investigate.

Not to mention something as serious as the spring spirit escaping. It's estimated that as soon as it leaves this area, the guarding disciples will immediately report it, and then the mountain-protecting formation will be activated, locking down the surrounding area. At that point, it will have nowhere to go!
Realizing it cannot escape and will be trapped for countless years, it will surely fly into a rage, and who knows how many disciples will suffer as a result.

The members of the Immortal Sect were greatly shocked.

If it weren't for the white mist obscuring their vision, they really wanted to exchange a glance privately so they could see each other's shocked expressions—

Seriously? They actually encountered something as extraordinary as a spring spirit giving birth to a spring spirit?
If what Mo Jiuwei said is true... no, not if, but it must be true!
"Hey, how do we dig?" Hu Jiu asked immediately. "But this will cause quite a stir, won't it? If we alert the people here, we might not be able to explain ourselves."

This question may seem to be directed at fellow disciples, but everyone knows who it's actually aimed at.

Of course, it's not about digging by force.

[I remember those four Foundation Establishment cultivators who died had a few Earth Escape Talismans, right? Using them would be perfect; they could directly enter the Nine Nether Springs!]

Hmm... springs are most likely protected by restrictions, so we'll need a concealment talisman.

[Perfect! We already have both the water-repelling bead and the invisibility talisman. This is perfect.]

The four Foundation Establishment cultivators were the four villains who tried to rob them but were killed by them. They had earth-遁符 (earth-遁符) in their Qiankun bags, and they were even mid-grade earth-遁符.

Not only that, but there are also invisibility talismans and water-repelling beads. With these, one can easily enter the Nine Nether Spring, and this action is more subtle and will not cause the ground to tremble, thus avoiding being noticed by others.

“We have a talisman for escaping into the earth.” Liu Feng flipped his wrist and took out the talisman, as well as the water-repelling pearl that Mo Jiuwei had mentioned. “The water-repelling pearl is also with me.”

“I have a magic talisman for invisibility,” Hu Jiu said.

The Concealment Talisman is a very rare talisman, and its effects are incredibly powerful.

It can ignore the restrictions and move freely, although the time is short, only lasting for a quarter of an hour.

It was precisely because this kind of talisman was so rare that Hu Jiu wanted to learn how to use it. Unfortunately, this kind of talisman was not something he could learn at his current level, and he hadn't figured out anything about it after all this time.

“Jiuwei has always been very sensitive to good things. Since she has this expression, it means there are good things down there, which we shouldn’t miss,” Liu Feng said. “How about I take her down there?” After thinking it over, it seemed that there was no other explanation for her sudden desire to enter the spring, so he might as well just use Mo Jiuwei’s name.

Anyway... no one except Mo Jiuwei would care about excuses, and Jiuwei is quite easygoing about these things and never scrutinizes them.

“I’ll take Jiuwei with me,” Chen Lan said.

She was used to having Jiuwei with her; whenever she was around, it was almost always someone else holding Mo Jiuwei.

However, Yi Xingyun's words successfully stopped her, "No, Senior Sister Chen, you must stay here, in case that manager comes looking for you again."

Two days ago they came here using Liu Feng's name, but yesterday and today they used Chen Lan's.

So everyone else can be absent, but she must be present; otherwise, if that manager comes knocking again, things will get complicated.

Chen Lan also thought of this, frowned slightly, and ultimately remained silent.

"I'll go. I have the highest cultivation level among everyone here." Liu Feng smiled. "Don't worry, even if I can't come back, I'll do my best to bring Jiuwei back safely."

"Uncle Master!"

Everyone tensed up and shouted in disapproval.

Don't worry, we'll come back the same way we went; we'll be safe.

We need to hurry; we only have one day.

Today is their last day in the Nine Nether Springs. By evening, they will have to leave with the others and hand over their tokens.

And this departure may mean he will never be able to come back again in his lifetime.

This was just an accident; Qingyue Sect will absolutely never give them a second chance.

"Alright, I'll take her to try it out. I'll come back as soon as I find anything wrong," Liu Feng said.

No one objected. "Okay, in that case, let's be careful."

"Send a message via a sound transmission talisman if anything happens."

The Earth Escape Talismans were fine, as there were extras, but there were only two Divine Concealment Talismans, so only two people could go down.

Even if Mo Jiuwei is very small, she is still a person. Just because someone is holding her doesn't mean we can save a ticket.

Among those present, Liu Feng was the most experienced and accomplished; no one was more suitable than him.

As they were leaving, Chen Lan wrapped Mo Jiuwei around Liu Feng's body with clothes and cloth, and placed a water-repelling bead on her.

This way, Liu Feng can free his hands and doesn't have to hold her with one hand all the time, so as not to hinder her movement.

"We're leaving. You all continue your cultivation and don't arouse suspicion." Liu Feng said, then used the Earth Escape Talisman to silently disappear into the sixth area.

The members of the Immortal Sect were anxious, wishing they could follow and protect him. But there was nothing they could do to help, so they could only cultivate as instructed, ensuring the spiritual energy in the sixth area remained constant without revealing anything unusual.

Mo Jiuwei felt a blur before her eyes, and then her body became light, with the sound of water all around her.
