Chapter 109: The Road to the Yellow Spring

  "Whoosh——"

  After entering the green gate, Xia Lin only felt that his eyes were wrapped in a piece of green mist, followed by a faint dizziness that quickly dissipated, and a weak green light appeared, stabilizing.

  Xia Lin opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise.

  This is a boundless river, with countless waters rushing and surging. Two meters above the river is a wooden plank bridge formed by four rusty iron chains that pass through it, two up and two down. These planks are placed on top of the lower two chains, while the upper two serve as handrails, forming this seemingly endless chain bridge.

  The chain bridge and this river are generally invisible from end to end, and can't see where they come from or go.

  And where he stood was the riverbank, a place with a diameter of only two or three meters, blocked by rocks behind, occasionally splashing water, and may even splash to the top of the shore.

  Above his head was an invisible gray fog, and he had no idea how high it was or what was above it, but Xia Lin absolutely had no intention of trying.

  "Is this the Yellow Spring Road?"

  Xia Lin scanned all around and memorized every location.

  "Dongfang Xuan said, Biliu Huangquan is one of the ten great wonders, not one of the ten great forbidden lands. The danger level isn't high, and besides, this Huangquan secret realm is just a branch of Biliu Huangquan..."

  Just as Xia Lin was sharpening his mind, a strong sense of crisis suddenly came from above, and under the alarm, he immediately dodged to one side.

  "Drip!"

  A drop of spring water fell from the top, landed on the ground, and made a rustling sound of corrosion. On the rock underfoot, it left a pit.

  "Hiss——"

  "This is what you call no danger?"

  It seems that the so-called wonderland has no risk. It's just for the strong, and for these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, any place is a fatal crisis.

  Just as he was thinking, two more mysterious water droplets fell, and Xia Lin lightly dodged them. The second layer of the Tempering Realm brought a very strong effect, enhancing his sense of crisis and allowing him to feel some unstable things in advance, so that he could dodge them early.

  "It can't go on like this." Xia Lin furrowed her brow, "Staying in this place, who knows what other dangers there are."

  "In front of me, there is only one river and a chain bridge. Although I can't see the direction, I think it must be going downstream along the river. Since countless people have come in here, there must be countless such rivers that ultimately converge to one place. Therefore, this direction must be the correct direction along the river!"

  "The direction is determined, but there is no way forward at present. The only way out is to jump onto the chain bridge."

  After Xia Lin finished analyzing, she immediately made a decision.

  Jump!

  Not only that, he also found that just now the water here was splashing countless times, but the chain bridge above was intact, otherwise wouldn't those wooden boards have been penetrated long ago?

  Must go up!

  "Whoa!"

  With a burst of strength from his right leg, Xia Lin borrowed force and sprinted forward. In one leap, he landed on the chain bridge.

  "Crack!"

  Xia Lin fell steadily down, but the entire chain bridge suddenly shook violently. Xia Lin subconsciously grabbed the iron chains on both sides and tried to steady his body.

  But at this moment, a loud roar. The river water under the bridge suddenly surged into the sky, as if it had burst from the bottom of the river, and the river water exploded ten meters high!

  The river water fell down, and a large part of it flowed onto the wooden bridge.

  Watching the countless water splashes coming, Xia Lin used his psychic power to resist again. Although his psychic power was poor, it should be no problem to block some water stains.

  "Whoosh!"

  The river water easily penetrates and overcomes the obstacles, continuing to move forward.

  Xia's eyes flashed with a hint of horror as his mental powers were breached, indicating that these river waters possessed extremely strong aggressive properties.

  Thinking of this, Xia Lin didn't dare to be careless, and with a burst of blood and energy, he struck the river water with all his might. He splashed all the surrounding river water away, not daring to let any of it splash onto his body.

  Before long, the river water calmed down and everything returned to its previous state.

  Xia Lin inadvertently turned his head to take a look, and was shocked to find that the small platform where he had been standing earlier had vanished into thin air... It had been submerged by the surging river water earlier, and then never reappeared again.

  "What's going on?"

  Xia frowned as he disliked things that were beyond his control.

  "Whoosh!"

  Xia Lin tore off a piece of fabric from her sleeve and threw it directly into the river.

  "Psst——"

  A whole piece of fabric vanished into thin air...

  Xia was shocked and found out that the river water also had a problem.

  The Yellow Spring Secret Realm is also fraught with danger for these people.

  After figuring it out, Xia Lin walked cautiously along the direction of the river water.

  The river water galloping under the bridge, occasionally dropping some unknown things on top of my head. This section of the Yellow Spring Road seems not as easy as I imagined.

  Holding onto the iron chain, after walking for a while, a faint green glow appeared and disappeared in the dimness.

  "There is something in front."

  Summer approached, and his spirit stirred. He quickened his pace, and upon closer inspection, on a rocky outcropping not far away, where the river water crashed against it, a lush green grass grew upright, unwavering amidst the rushing waters. This spiritual grass was something he was most familiar with.

  "Two spiritual grasses, Mysterious Spiritual Grass!"

  "Mystic Spirit Grass... It seems that this Yellow Spring Secret Realm is abundant with Mystic Spirit Grass, it's probably the most suitable place for it to grow." Xia Lin thought to himself, then looked at the Mystic Spirit Grass and wondered whether to pick it or not.

  With his current strength, although the Xuanling Grass is valuable, it basically has no effect on him.

  It's a pity to abandon it, and it's useless to keep it.

  Xia Lin's heart suddenly moved, the Xuanling grass indeed had little effect on him, but he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming here - Ling Cao, secret techniques, and Xuan Bao! All valuable treasures!

  Let's not discuss whether we can encounter those things or not, since we've encountered them now, it's just right that we give it a try.

  If even Lingxuan Grass can't be obtained, let alone other treasures?

  Take it!

  Estimated the position of the reef and bridge, about three meters away, seems quite far, but for a martial artist, it's just an instant. Just one step.

  "Hop over, pull out the weeds, hop back, and you'll have a pair of Ling Grass in hand. It's that simple."

  This was for ordinary warriors, but Xia Lin, he stared at the Xuanling grass in the reef, his eyes fixed on it, muttering to himself.

  "Get up!"

  "Get up!"

  "Get up!"

  "Whoosh!"

  The Xuanling grass actually floated up into the air. It rushed over and was caught by Xia Lin in one grasp.

  After losing the spiritual grass, the reef seemed to have lost all its power, and after being washed away by the river water, it could no longer stand upright and was directly eroded and submerged.

  "Telekinesis, is it still somewhat useful?" Xia Lin smiled slightly, after all, his telekinesis had reached the third stage, although he was no good at fighting. Taking something was not a problem.

  Harvested a Lingcao, Xia Lin's mood was great, the originally thought to be gloomy and terrifying Huang Quan Road didn't seem scary anymore. Along the way, walked with excitement, occasionally saw some first-class Lingcao and some Xuanlingcao, all of which were picked up. With the help of Nianli, swept away without any obstacles.

  "Five pieces of Xuanling grass, thirty pieces of Yipinling grass." Xia Lin looked at his harvest with some surprise. How long had it been? An hour? And he had already harvested so many things!

  No wonder everyone wants to seize the opportunity when they see the secret realm, especially this legendary existence, it's simply a treasure trove! Although there are some dangers, after all, fortune and disaster are interdependent, the greater the danger, the more treasures there will be.

  "Huh?"

  He continued walking for several steps, and Xia Lin looked ahead in surprise.

  Along this road, he had seen countless first-class and second-class spiritual herbs, so much that they were nothing out of the ordinary to him. But at this moment... what he saw was actually a Blood Congealing Herb!

  Bleeding stopper!

  I knew it!

  Three Treasures of Lingcao!

  He was relying on this spiritual grass all along, and now he has seen it again after jumping through several levels in the Blood Refining Realm.

  Current progress, stopped at the third layer of Tempering Body. If there's no Spiritual Grass to assist, who knows when I'll be able to advance further? But if I had a strand of that Spiritual Grass...

  Xia Lin stared intently at the Congxuecao, his spiritual energy surging as he shouted, "Rise!"

  The thread does not move.

  Xia took a deep breath, exerted his full spiritual power, and transformed it into thin threads that wrapped around the Congxuecao, "Rise!"

  Still as motionless as silk threads.

  Xia Lin couldn't help but smile wryly. The third-grade spiritual grass was indeed worthy of its name, as even its roots were firmly embedded in the rocky crevices.

  Since nianli is useless, I can only take matters into my own hands now.

  Actually all warriors should also go down themselves, dig out the spiritual grass, and then quickly jump back before the reef is completely eroded, the difficulty is not high.

  Xia took a deep breath and jumped onto the reef in one swift motion.

  Extend your right hand to gently grasp the coagulant grass, then flatten it at the root system and slowly dig out the coagulant grass.

  "Got it."

  The blood clot was pulled out, Xia Lin let out a sigh of relief, and with one swift motion, he jumped back onto the bridge.

  In the air, Xia Lin felt a chill run down her spine, her hair standing on end, and her scalp numb. The feeling was far more intense than all the previous crises, and a strange sensation crept over her heart.

  Before Xia Lin could comprehend the meaning, he felt something in the river water below him, which seemed to be rushing up at an extreme speed, and in one breath, it would absolutely pierce him directly.

  "Damn it!"

  Xia Lin cursed in a low voice, but at this moment, it was too late to dodge, and he could only let his blood energy condense throughout his body, making his physical body even more robust.

  "Boom!"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, just as Xia Lin had adjusted his blood energy, a huge black shadow burst out of the river and collided with Xia Lin's body.

  "Hmmph!"

  Xia Lin felt a surge of monstrous energy coming over him, and in an instant he lost control of his body and was sent flying.

  "Damn it!"

  Xia Lin took a look at the turbulent river water behind her, if she fell into it, she would definitely die!

  Enduring the intense pain, Xia Lin threw a punch that landed on empty air, causing his blood to surge and sending him stumbling backward several meters. This single move allowed Xia Lin to land on the reef instead of falling into the water.

  "What's wrong?"
