CHAPTER 74: Unmoved
From the characteristics of the Soul Spring, Tan Yun immediately recognized it as a medium-grade Thunder Soul Spring.
There are thirteen types of attribute soul springs; although they differ in appearance and inner composition, the method of identifying their grade is universal.
For low-grade soul springs, one can only see a faint surface sheen.
For medium-grade soul springs, solid particles can be clearly seen within.
For high-grade soul springs, the liquid state of the soul power can be distinctly identified.
For supreme soul springs, a wisp of wandering spring soul is present inside.
Even though Tan Yun knew that the Fetal Soul he condensed in the spirit pool after reaching the fetal soul realm was not any of the thirteen attributes—gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ancient, beast, death, light, time, space—he still wanted to collect more.
First, he could refine it for Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan.
Second, the value of the soul springs is significant. Once he enters the Inner Sect, he could sell them at a high price to exchange for Spirit Stones, which would allow him to buy fire attribute, ice attribute seeds, materials for refining weapons, and so on in the Inner Sect's market.
After putting the medium-grade Thunder Soul Spring into the Qiankun Ring, Tan Yun rode the bloodwing spirit lion and left. Along the way, he practiced while using his spiritual sense to check if there were other soul springs in the Mystic Valley.
In the following two days, the bloodwing spirit lion carried Tan Yun as they flew over the vast Mystic Valleys No. 15 and 16, exiting the Primeval Abyss Valley group.
During this time, Tan Yun also collected two low-grade Gold Soul Springs and one high-grade Water Soul Spring.
Following the map jade tablet, Tan Yun guided the bloodwing spirit lion through the undulating mountains. After two days of flight, suddenly, the spirit lion flapped its wings, suspended in the sky, and let out a low roar towards Tan Yun.
Tan Yun leaned down and looked, discovering five disciples at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm resting in the mountain gorge—three men and two women.
“Big guy, descend!”
Obeying Tan Yun's command, the bloodwing spirit lion flew down towards the five individuals…
“Let’s move, Brother Wang is still waiting for us in the Doomed God’s Tomb.” A beautiful girl leading the group said to the three male disciples.
“Yes, Senior Sister Liang.” The three responded respectfully, facing Liang Qing.
The reason the three obeyed so readily was that they were under Wang Futong, and Liang Qing was not only Wang Futong's partner but also ranked twentieth on the Hidden Dragon Rankings!
“Sister, since we entered the Fallen God Canyon, you’ve only been separated from your husband for eleven days, and you’re already eager to reunite?” Another beautiful girl named Liang Xia teased as she approached Liang Qing.
“Xia, don’t speak so carelessly. I’m not married to him yet, so don’t call him husband in the future.” Liang Qing smiled sweetly, though her words contradicted her heart. “Alright, let’s get moving.”
As the three male disciples prepared to follow Liang Qing, one of them looked up at the descending bloodwing spirit lion and sneered, “A mere first-stage adult demon lion dares to ambush us? Truly seeking death!”
Holding a long sword, the male disciple was about to act when a cold voice echoed down from the bloodwing spirit lion's back, “That’s right, it is seeking death. But the one seeking death is you!”
“Who?” Liang Qing frowned, looking up at the bloodwing spirit lion hovering above her, and coldly commanded, “Show yourself!”
“Who dares to hide? Come out!” The three men and one woman faced the bloodwing spirit lion, swords drawn and tensions high. Due to the massive size of the bloodwing spirit lion, the five could not see Tan Yun on its back!
“Who? Hmph, the one who wants your lives!” As a merciless voice rang out, Liang Qing saw a blurry shadow sweep down from the lion’s back towards the three male disciples!
