The Days of Being Forced to Become the Savior of a Cultivation Civilization

Honglan didn't pay attention and continued:

"Alright. Excluding the outer springs, there are a total of seven outer and eighty-five inner springs in this Ward Spring, each with different effects."

It can relax muscles and tendons, calm the mind and concentrate the spirit, and even temper the body and strengthen the soul. For example, the "Dui" position is a private hot spring, which is highly private, convenient for communication, and various other aspects.

It has everything imaginable; it's said that soaking in all eight inner pools completes the entire process, which is said to be extremely beneficial for those who are against the natural order.

He shrugged:

"However, I haven't tried it. I'm usually too busy with work to have that much time."

Qian Xintong exclaimed:

"Wow, that's powerful. This place must be quite something. By the way, who created this Ward Spring?"

Honglan: "This spring water has existed since ancient times, but the hot spring town we see today is a relatively recent development, only appearing in the last few decades."

Zhiyue: "Then where are these springs located...?"

Honglan: "Yes, it's a naturally formed Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation. Isn't it amazing? A masterpiece of nature."

Yingzi scoffed and complained:

"Hmph, I'm even secretly doing construction work in the middle of the night."

Honglan: "Senior, you're really interesting, but that's just how it is."

The Ward Spring actually has only nine springheads; the eight outer springheads are actually secondary artificial springs that were expanded.

Leaving aside the outer layer, the nine springs in the inner layer not only have their relative positions and orientations precisely correspond to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram, but even the effects of the springs strictly correspond to the five major roads.

It is said to have been carved by hand, yet no trace of construction can be found; it is said to have been formed naturally, yet its coincidence is so unsettling that it makes one's heart ache.

With its eight trigrams and central source, the Word Spring seems to have never been extinguished, boiling continuously from the untold ancient times to the present day.

Honglan suddenly laughed:

"Let me tell you a secret, this inscription is said to be a reflection made by some senior figure after visiting this place, but it was later expanded to make it more elegant."

The original phrase is... "Wo, Zheng De Liu," hahahahahahaha!

Zhiyue and Qianxintong couldn't help but laugh, and Yingzi couldn't help but smile too:

"At least the person who expanded this is a talented individual."

The group arrived at the locker room door while talking.

"Alright everyone, this is the changing area. Please explore the rest of the area on your own."

Whether you stroll around the perimeter or indulge in the inner sanctum, no one can stop you with your top-tier privileges. I'll take my leave now and won't accompany you any longer.

Honglan bowed in farewell, and the three of them went to change into bathrobes.

-

"Oh, isn't this Manager Li? Business is booming today. What brings you to accept my invitation to soak in the Neidui Spring?"

The woman with burgundy hair, wrapped only in a bath towel, sat cross-legged on a lounge chair by the pool. The mist obscured the view, and even the vaguely visible curves of her figure were enough to stir an uncontrollable excitement in the visitor.

"What are you saying? No matter how busy I am, I have to give Miss Shaoqing face when she invites me."

It was a bloated man with a fat head and big ears. His eyes were small but quick to dart around. As soon as he entered the room, he circled around Shao Qing three times.

To put it bluntly, he embodies the classic image of a cunning businessman. He's wearing the largest size bathrobe, but the fabric around his belly is still almost at its mechanical limit.

He walked heavily to the recliner opposite Shao Qing, and sat down abruptly. The bamboo chair creaked sharply, almost breaking under his weight.

"I wonder what instructions Miss Shaoqing has given us this time?"

He rubbed his hands together, panting heavily.

Shao Qing smiled slightly:

"Of course, the same old rule, do me a favor, and I'll..."

As she spoke, she slowly spread her legs apart, then switched to raising the other leg.

The man's gaze was fixed greedily on Shao Qing's legs. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed, making no attempt to conceal his lewdness.

"No problem, no problem. As long as it's within my capabilities, I guarantee I'll do my best to get it done."

Shao Qing nodded and slowly pulled out an iron chain from between her breasts, revealing its full appearance. It turned out to be a pendant with a dark red crystal hanging from it.

The surface of the crystal was not smooth, as if it had been soaked for many years, giving it an indescribable sense of stagnation.

Shao Qing tossed the pendant to Li Guandai, who quickly stood up to catch it, brought it to his nose and took a deep sniff, revealing an intoxicated expression.

"Be a little more reserved in front of girls, Yu Huan. You're making me very shy."

Li Guandai smiled obsequiously:

"Hehe, I've lost my composure, I've lost my composure. So, Shaoqing, what do you need?"

Shao Qing's gentle tone made Li Guandai's heart itch.

"It's very simple. Just throw this pendant into the source of the spring."

Li Guandai was taken aback and tentatively asked:

"Uh, which spring is it?"

Shao Qing smiled charmingly as always:

"Haven't I made myself clear enough? Source, I want you to throw it into Yangquan."

Li Guandai's expression froze, his greed instantly turning into embarrassment:

"Hiss, Miss Shaoqing, I'm afraid I can't do this."

Shao Qing stood up, slowly walked behind Li Guandai, gently pressed him back into the recliner, and placed her two delicate hands on his shoulders:

"Yu Huan, do you think I don't know your rights? Of course you're capable of it. The restrictions on the basement of Ward Spring are practically useless to you."

Feeling Shao Qing's breath on his back, Li Guandai's rational defenses were once again severely damaged:

"Yes, I can go in, and no one dares to stop me."

However, if the owner of Hongquan or other shareholders find out afterward and blame me, I'm afraid I'll... lose my position.

Shao Qing lowered her head and whispered intimately in Li Guandai's ear, constantly stimulating Li Guandai's sensitive ear nerves:

"Don't worry, this is really important to me, and it's also good for Wardquan." She took the hand that Li Guandai was holding the pendant in:

"This pendant was obtained with great difficulty from a reclusive expert in the Upper Five Realms. It is said to enhance the efficacy of the spring water."

Of course, you know I'm a businessman; I don't get up early for nothing.

Just like the previous times I planted iron trees and repaired sculptures, while helping Wardwell Spring, I will also collect a small amount of "interest" myself.

She smiled, feigning nonchalance:

"Hehe, actually it's very little. You can think of it as drawing more benefits from the spring water, that's all."

Li Guandai thought for a moment, opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shao Qing reaching out his hand:

"Don't rush to refuse Manager Li. If this deal goes through, I can not only make you feel good, but also do something even more exciting. I guarantee you'll be sweating profusely, breathing heavily, and your pupils will shrink to pinpoints."

In addition, I will personally transfer five million to your account.

"Five million..."

Li Guandai's breath hitched; five million was no small sum.

"Primordial stone."

He suddenly stood up:

"Five million... yuan stones!"

His lips trembled.

Five million standard raw stones would require a cultivator at the Reversal of the Yuan Realm to sleep day and night and absorb them from nature for 100,000 years! And that's assuming there's an environment where they can absorb them.

After this job, I'll have nothing to worry about. Hongquan, shareholders—to hell with them, what do they have to do with me!

Under the dual temptations of sex and money, Li Guandai finally succumbed:

"Are you sure this thing won't ruin the spring, right?"

Shao Qing smiled; he knew that the other party's psychological defenses had been completely breached.

"Of course. Our Shao Group's investment in this hot spring town is less than that of the owner of Hongquan, but not less than that of most shareholders. Why would I want to burn my own cash cow?"

He bowed solemnly:

"Sister Shaoqing, no, Boss Shaoqing, don't worry, I'll do this job even if I have to pack my bags and leave right after it's done!"

Shao Qing still smiled:

"That's right, Manager Li. They've already thought it through for you. If anything happens, you can simply take this huge sum of money and leave the Kun family to live a carefree life."

She shook her finger:

"Well then, take care and don't bother seeing me off?"

"Okay, sure, I'll get right on it."

Li Guandai left Siquan with great joy.

As soon as he turned to leave, Shao Qing's expression suddenly turned cold.

She silently walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, gently scooped up a handful of water, and slowly poured it over her fingers.
