Chapter 57 - Origin Spring Water

"What a beautiful lake!" Lu Sulan exclaimed as she glanced at the huge lake in front of them with her glittering eyes.

Jiu Shen’s expression remained calm on the surface but he was actually surveying the surroundings with his spiritual power. And when his spiritual power reached a certain part of the Green Mountain Lake, he felt a strong presence trying to intimidate him.

"A 9th-rank Saint realm savage beast? Interesting." Jiu Shen muttered with an unchanging countenance.

Although he felt that the aura of the savage beast lurking below the lake was that of a 9th-rank Saint, Jiu Shen still remained peacefully calm. After living for countless eons, only a few things could move his heart...

Lu Sulan’s heart turned cold when she heard her master’s muttering voice. She then glanced at her master with a slightly anxious look and ask in a quivering voice. "Master, did you just say that a 9th-rank Saint realm savage beast is lurking below the lake’s surface?"

Although Lu Sulan was already an expert at the 8th-rank Divine realm, she was still quite fearful at the thought of facing a 9th-rank Saint realm savage beast.

There was a significant gap between the 8th-rank Divine realm and the 9th-rank Saint realm. Although there was only a difference of one realm, it was like an unbridgeable separation that divided the two.

In Jiu Shen’s eyes though, it was only a slightly bigger ant. He might have regressed by many realms after his death, but the pride of a Heavenly God realm expert that once stood at the very peak of the Primordial God Realm was deeply etched in his bones.

"It’s indeed a 9th-rank Saint realm savage beast. Follow closely behind me and heighten your senses. Although it refuses to show itself, it does not mean that it won’t launch a sneak attack." Jiu Shen gently reminded his disciple before he streaked through the skies.

Lu Sulan followed behind her master with a wary expression on her face as she kept her defenses at maximum. She didn’t want to become the savage beast’s meal...

Although Jiu Shen didn’t place the aquatic savage beast in his eyes, he still used his spiritual power to check the most minute changes in the lake below them. The moment the savage beast makes its move, Jiu Shen would immediately sense it.

’It’s quite careful. It must have felt the difference in our strength. What a sensitive beast it is.’ Jiu Shen thought to himself as he led Lu Sulan to the heart of the Green Mountain Lake.

The last ingredient for the brewing process of the Frozen Origin was the Origin Spring Water. In the world of Nuar, it was a pretty valuable liquid that could only be found in the heart of the Green Mountain Lake.

The Origin Spring Water was also treated as a rare material by the Alchemy Hall. Aside from its delicious taste, the Origin Spring Water was also capable of enhancing the flow of one’s spiritual energy and true essence. With its great effects, it was a good ingredient in increasing a medicinal pill’s grade.

As Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan passed by the habitat of the hidden 9th-rank Saint realm aquatic savage beast, a huge pair of reddish pupils showed up below the lake’s surface. The pair of reddish pupils turned to look in the direction of Jiu Shen before it vanished.

"I can’t feel that human’s strength at all. Who is he?" A beastly voice echoed silently within the deepest part of the lake. Its tone sounded brutal and was filled with overwhelming strength, but there was also a hint of wariness to it.

Jiu Shen who was already far from where the beast lurked didn’t hear anything at all. But even if he did hear it speak, he still wouldn’t be surprised since he already knew that once a savage beast broke through the 9th-rank Saint realm, they would be capable of speaking the language of humans. And when a savage beast reaches the 10th-rank God realm, it would be capable of taking the form of humans.

As the master and disciple pair streaked through the skies, they saw that a certain part of the Green Mountain Lake had a different shade. The water of the Green Mountain Lake was blue with a slightly greenish hue, but the one that the master and disciple pair saw had a dull golden brilliance.

At the sigh of it, the pair immediately knew that they had reached the heart of the Green Mountain Lake.

The reason for its golden radiance was because of the Origin Spring Water that had merged together with the lake’s water.

The Origin Spring Water was formed because of the extremely dense amount of true essence in the heart of Green Mountain Lake. Some of the lake’s water molecules mutated causing the formation of the Origin Spring Water.

Jiu Shen took out an ordinary-looking bottle from his spatial sword earring. This bottle might look plain in appearance, but it was far from ordinary. It was actually a bottle that had an internal space in it! It can hold tens of gallons of liquids in total!

Jiu Shen threw the bottle towards the heart of the Green Mountain Lake.

Lu Sulan glanced at it and felt that it wasn’t as ordinary as it seemed to be. Not long later, her conjectures were proven right.

She saw the plain-looking bottle sucking the golden liquid around it as if it was a mini black hole.

In less than a minute, the bottle hovered towards Jiu Shen who immediately grabbed it with an indifferent look. He then kept it inside his storage earring and turned to glance at his disciple with the same unchanging expression.

"Let’s go back to the wine store." Jiu Shen said before he looked into the approximate direction of his wine store. He had to admit it, he kinda missed his idle life inside the store.
