Chapter 1464: Chapter 1464: Is This the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool? (Fourth Update)
Sending Langfan and Ke Yan back to the hotel, the hotel became truly lively.
Guan Ling, Liu Sheng, Su Zehao, and Fan Qingyin, along with the later-arrived Hu Zhong, plus Langfan and Ke Yan, made up a group of seven or eight people.
Looking at this gradually expanding team, Ye Haochuan was still very happy. They were all above the Core Formation Stage, with the highest cultivation being Hu Zhong, who was in the Core Formation Late Stage.
He had just arrived in the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, and having such a team made him feel less lonely.
Guan Ling, Liu Sheng, Langfan, and Ke Yan knew each other and were members of the Seven Geniuses. They exchanged a few words about their past experiences, feeling somewhat nostalgic.
Especially when Langfan saw Liu Sheng’s empty sleeves, tears were nearly overflowing from his eyes. Liu Sheng and Langfan had known each other since the mines in the Sub-Fire Dimension Realm and later came to the Imperial Capital together, forming a deep bond.
Now, suddenly witnessing Liu Sheng’s plight, he felt heartache and a deep hatred for the Bai Family.
Speaking of the Bai Family, they haven’t come to cause trouble recently, presumably they are caught up in the lawsuit of “persecuting fellow disciples,” busy with other matters.
As for Fan Qingyin, she knew Langfan and Liu Sheng from the mines as well. After a long time apart, she couldn’t help but ask a few questions.
However, Fan Qingyin had too many secrets, making it difficult to say much, so she simply described a few things briefly.
Among them, the most awkward was Hu Zhong. After Ye Haochuan brought him here, he went out to fix his phone, unexpectedly staying out for so long.
Of these people, the only one who knew him was Fan Qingyin. But Fan Qingyin didn’t want to reveal her Shape-shifting Technique, so she didn’t mention the identity of “Fan Qingqing” to Hu Zhong.
Now, seeing others calling out familiarly, he could only watch from the side, appearing quite unnatural.
Ye Haochuan noticed him and introduced Hu Zhong to the others again. The group quickly warmed up, especially Langfan, who soon called Hu Zhong brother.
Hu Zhong had been somewhat arrogant, but after being rescued by Ye Haochuan last time, his arrogance was tempered. Plus, the Hu family incident made him more mature.
“So noisy, you’ve all woken me up!” A clear voice suddenly came from Ye Haochuan’s pants pocket.
A slender and dry branch emerged from Ye Haochuan’s pocket. Thankfully, those present were worldly-wise, otherwise, they would have been startled by the scene.
“Are you… Yige?” Fan Qingyin asked with surprise.
Fan Qingyin had seen Yige in the mines earlier, and recognized it by its voice.
“Qingyin? It really has been a long time!” Yige’s voice was joyful, but also somewhat weary.
Fan Qingyin was also very happy, but when she saw Yige’s dry branch, she couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
“It’s a long story…” Yige replied with a bitter smile.
Since failing to successfully breakthrough Core Formation last time, Yige’s body hadn’t recovered. Not only that, but it frequently fell into slumber.
Like this time, it hadn’t woken since entering the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, to the point where Ye Haochuan nearly forgot about it.
Fan Qingyin heard that Yige needed the “Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool” to recover and immediately glared at Ye Haochuan, protesting, “You heartless guy, Yige is like this, why haven’t you gone to the pool earlier to help it recover?”
“I wanted to hurry, but I’ve been busy!” Ye Haochuan replied with a wry smile.
Speaking of which, he suddenly realized he didn’t even know the location of the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool, and quickly turned to ask Hu Zhong.
Among them, only Hu Zhong was considered a “native” of the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm and was most familiar with it.
Hu Zhong didn’t disappoint Ye Haochuan, answering, “The Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool is one of the seven major cultivation holy lands of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, located near Xuantian City…”
“Cultivation holy land? Is it the ultimate version of the cultivation treasure land?”
Ye Haochuan suddenly remembered the cultivation treasure lands he had encountered before. At the mines, a low-level cultivation treasure pond had allowed his cultivation to quickly improve.
Later, in the Golden Tiger’s cave, it was also a good cultivation treasure land.
With these two experiences, Ye Haochuan’s interest in cultivation treasure lands was greatly piqued.
“Cultivation treasure lands and holy lands have similar functions but are also different.”
Hu Zhong explained, “Cultivation treasure lands are generally nurtured for a long time, leading to a high level of spiritual energy saturation. However, this spiritual energy, despite being abundant, cannot last long, and the effectiveness of the land will gradually diminish.”
Ye Haochuan nodded in agreement, having experienced this deeply.
Just like the treasure pond in the mines, the first use had the best effect, but later it got worse. By the time Huo Mengyao came to the Imperial Capital, the pool’s spiritual energy had thinned to the extreme.
“Compared to cultivation treasure lands, the spiritual energy of holy lands might not be as abundant, but it is exceptionally stable. This is because beneath every holy land, there are several rich spirit veins!” Hu Zhong continued explaining.
Ye Haochuan felt he had learned a lot again, having come from outside to the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, he really felt like a country bumpkin entering the big city, seeing nothing before.
Hu Zhong then darkened his expression and said, “This holy land is greatly valued by the Ancient Martial Arts Sect, entering is not easy!”
“It is indeed not easy, but Brother Long gave me a token that can allow entry once.” Ye Haochuan said, smiling as he took out a jade token.
Long Xiaotian said this jade token was one of his special privileges in the Heavenly Gate, with one opportunity each year to enter. Now he had given it to Ye Haochuan without hesitation, sacrificing his own chance.
Hu Zhong saw the jade token and couldn’t help feeling envious, saying, “Brother Ye surely has great fortune; do you know how many young talents fight fiercely for a chance to enter the holy land?”
“It’s that incredible?” Ye Haochuan chuckled, inspecting the jade token again.
After Hu Zhong’s introduction, Ye Haochuan had gained a preliminary understanding of the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool. With no other matters pending, it was a good time to visit and resolve Yige’s issue.
The Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool was located in the western suburbs of Xuantian City; it was easy to find, and Ye Haochuan swiftly controlled his sword and flew there.
Fan Qingyin, Hu Zhong, and the others wanted to see this so-called cultivation holy land, but unfortunately, the token only allowed one person to enter, leaving them no choice but to give up.
Xuantian City was indeed vast; Ye Haochuan flew for a full half-hour before reaching the western suburbs. Although referred to as the western suburbs, it was actually within the city’s massive walls. This area had sparse visitors.
Ye Haochuan looked around and discovered a massive sphere-like barrier, covering an area of several hundred kilometers, quietly resting on the ground. It was impossible to see the situation inside the barrier clearly.
“Is this the Five Elements Holy Marrow Pool?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.
“Halt right there!”
Ye Haochuan hadn’t approached the barrier when a stern voice suddenly sounded.
