The Way of The Dao

Chapter 306 Is There Something In The Lake?

?"But before we start training so that you can understand how much strength you have gained now, I need to check what is in the lake."

Ling Tian approached the lakeside while frowning at whether to enter or not.

The water of the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake> had decreased considerably after the women had cultivated inside. This was because they had consumed the mysterious force and all the spiritual energy of the water to increase their strength and above all to improve their physiques for cultivation.

But even though it had been greatly reduced, the bottom of the lake could still not be seen. Although the surface of the water was transparent and it seemed that one could see the bottom of the lake, it was only an illusion in the end, so one could not see the bottom of the lake.

'It will most likely allow about 7 more women to cultivate inside and get its benefits...' He thought to himself as he observed and calculated the reduced size of the lake: 'But who could I bring in to cultivate in it? Aunt Zhi and Aunt Ruoyan could cultivate in the lake and get great benefits as well while increasing their levels of cultivation, that's for sure, but then it would take five more people for the water in the lake to be totally consumed and allow me to get what's at the bottom...' Ling Tian put a hand to his chin as he continued to observe the lake.

If it were something wonderful that resided at the bottom, he would not hesitate to go in by himself even though he would be seriously injured in the process. If that could increase his strength then it would be worth it.

"Is there something in the lake?" Tang Wanying asked as she watched Ling Tian stand on the edge of the lake and observe it.

"There seems to be some natural resource that can help us increase our cultivations, and he wants to know what's inside." Yun Mengxin responded for Ling Tian.

Mu Shuiruo became worried and asked her, "Is he not going to want to go into the lake again?" She remembered what had happened to Ling Tian's arm and didn't want it to happen again.

Yun Mengxin smiled softly at her, "Don't worry, he should be thinking of a way to get in and not get hurt."

"But the lake has reduced quite a bit, don't you think?" Zhang Xinya was surprised when she realized that the lake itself seemed smaller than before.

It definitely seemed to have dried up tremendously.

"I think it should be because we cultivate within it and absorb its energy." Long Yuyin also said at once as they looked at the lake's shores.

"Yinyin, don't use your spirit sense!"

Yun Mengxin rushed to stop Lan Yin, who seemed to want to use her spirit sense to scan the bottom of the lake. It would be bad if Lan Yin were injured even if there was no chance.

"Ehm!" Lan Yin nodded and hurriedly withdrew her spirit sense. Yun Mengxin smiled at her and patted her head.

The other women were also about to scan the bottom of the lake before they heard Yun Mengxin's voice, stopping instantly.

"Mengxin, could you try again? But this time go slower and retreat at the slightest discomfort."

Ling Tian came out of his thoughts and asked Yun Mengxin again to scan the bottom of the lake.

Although he had thought about it for a long time by waiting for the water level to be reduced greatly when other women could cultivate in it, he needed to know what was at the bottom of the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake>.

That Natural Treasure could even help him remove a layer of his Heavenly Seal and thus increase his strength in another league!

Ling Tian urgently needed to become stronger because the premonition of that strange night was becoming slightly more alarming, so he would have to look for all possible routes to increase his cultivation again.

Now he was racing against the clock...

Yun Mengxin nodded and stood next to Ling Tian, approaching the shore of the lake.

"Do not use your spirit senses to see at the bottom of the lake." Ling Tian warned the other girls who seemed to want to use their spirit senses as well.

Yun Mengxin slowly directed her spirit sense to the bottom of the lake, softly descending to the unknown bottom.

Swoosh!

It wasn't long before the lake once again expelled Yun Mengxin's spirit sense.

Ling Tian hugged her gently at the waist and asked her worried, "Did it expel you again? Did you hurt yourself this time?"

"Mhn, it just expelled me without hurting me again." Yun Mengxin shook her head and gave him a reassuring smile: "I'll see if I can go right in." She added at once.

"You don't have to, I don't want you to get hurt or anything to happen to you." Ling Tian shook his head and preferred that she not get hurt, although this might not be the case.

Yun Mengxin smiled carefree and said, "Don't worry, I don't think anything will happen to me, trust me." She kissed him sweetly before fleeing to the center of the lake.

Yun Mengxin's clothes were instantly destroyed shortly before she sank safely into the water.

Indeed, the <Celestial Spring Yin Lake> allowed women to even enter the bottom of the lake.

Even as he was on the shore, Ling Tian was feeling a rejection of the Lake itself, expressing that he could not get into it.

"Master, is there something inside the lake? Will the big sister be all right?" Lan Yin asked when she saw Yun Mengxin enter the lake again. She worried about her big sister despite knowing that the lake could not hurt them except for Ling Tian.

"Most likely there must be a natural treasure that will be very beneficial to all of you." He responded and patted Lan Yin's head so she wouldn't worry, as he focused his eyes and felt his connection to Yun Mengxin.

Feeling his connection to her, Ling Tian was sure that Yun Mengxin was safe as he did not feel any distress from her.

Swoosh!

Again after a few seconds, the surface of the water moved in fierce waves as Yun Mengxin's body was instantly ejected from the lake.

Ling Tian quickly pulled out clothes and wrapped her delicately around her entire body as he gently caught her in his hands. He sighed with relief when he saw that her body was unharmed.

Yun Mengxin smiled lovingly at his gesture before wearing the clothes he had offered her.

"There's definitely something down there, it's like something shiny, but it seemed strange to me because it was a small concentrated substance, like a shimmering, almost white liquid, and it was on top of something." Yun Mengxin explained what she had seen at the bottom of the lake. She frowned because she could not see how there could be 'water' inside the lake. That even at first glance looked like a small group of bubbles that would start floating to the surface at any moment to come out.

Ling Tian also couldn't help but frown at this.

Something that is like a glowing liquid at the bottom of the water?

If it were somewhere else, he would think it was an illusion or something that would automatically alter the minds of the people who would see it, but this was the legendary <Celestial Spring Yin Lake>, something that is born naturally and most likely there could not be that kind of trap inside it.

Ling Tian thought of all the things related to that strange liquid that Yun Mengxin explained to him and took a few seconds before he could relate it to anything.

It could only be something he remembers...

A big smile formed on Ling Tian's face when he thought about what it probably could be.

"If that's it, then it could be very, very helpful to me and also to you." Ling Tian spoke soon after: "But that needs a special container to store it..." He grimaced as he remembered this.

Huh?

Ling Tian raised his eyebrows when he noticed the look of the four beautiful women in Yun Mengxin, specifically in the beautiful robe that she was wearing at this time.
