Chapter 297: Spring of Eternal Youth



Chapter 297: Spring of Eternal Youth

At first, Jian Shen might have just had some suspicion of Lifen having some other goal to achieve behind searching for the Spring of Immortality, but the more days passed by, the more sure he became of it.

Spending the entire day flying around the Black Forest and touching the ground with her tails, Lifen kept on repeating the same routine until they had finally come up with the best route which covered most of the Black Forest before the sun set.

If it was just for him, even if Lifen didn't give up on the plan midway, she would've at least showed signs of being bored or working reluctantly just for him.

Instead, whenever they found signs of the Spring of Immortality existing in a certain place, or came up with a new and better route, she looked more excited than Jian Shen.

Luckily though, due to Lifen's strength and special abilities, no beast bothered them while they roamed around the Black Forest.

"Hey Lifen, what are you hiding from me?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm doing all of this for you."

Acting oblivious like always, Lifen who never once revealed any signs of lying made Jian Shen feel more and more that she wasn't just a cute little fox.

"Are you sure you're not taking me along because you need a sacrifice to enter the Spring of Immortality?"

"Of course not. Even if I did need to do such a thing, there's no way I'd sacrifice someone as handsome as you."

"Haaaaa..... Is that so?."

Ignoring Jian Shen's exaggerated sigh, Lifen confidently said, "Just you wait, after I lead you to the Spring of Immortality today, you'll find out yourself how kind-hearted I am to take you with me."

Not saying anything else, Jian Shen stood up to follow behind Lifen who began their journey much sooner than the other days

At the same time he felt that if the two of them kept this up, he could become a guide to lead people around the Black Forest in the future.

...

It might be that Lifen's words triggered something special in the air, because unlike the past days and even against her expectations, not only did they find the Spring of Immortality, they did it even before the sun set.

In fact, the two of them arrived near the Spring of Immortality even before the sun had risen halfway up in the sky causing both of them to be shocked.

The shock however didn't last long as Lifen almost ram and jumped inside the mystical Spring of Immortality which couldn't have appeared in a better place.

Flowing down from a small rock mountain, the Spring of Immortality created a waterfall which filled with the ground while being surrounded by many beautiful trees filled with flowers.

"Whats the hurry, Lifen? Didn't we come here for me?"

Grabbing Lifen by the collar near her neck and pulling her back, Jian Shen despite smiling like usual looked determined to not let her go unless she explained herself.

Pouting and trying her best to try and escape Jian Shen's hands which were holding the collar of her dress as if they were made of metal, Lifen stomped her foot and finally admitted the truth.

"The Spring of Immortality is also known as the Spring of Eternal Youth. Every individual who takes a bath in this Spring of Immortality will forever look the same and their physical body would never age. Since the moment they take a dip inside this, they'll forever look the same."

No wonder she almost jumped inside it despite having all of her clothes on.

At the same time, Jian Shen found out another one of the reasons due to which cultivators despite knowing that they were just going to their deaths kept on entering the Black Forest.

After all, who wouldn't want to both grow strong as well as look the same way their entire life?

Similarly, even though he didn't expect this revelation, Jian Shen did feel a little better after knowing that he was brought here with her to help her fight against the beasts which managed to ignore her hypnosis and not as a sacrifice or any other thing.

The beasts in the Divine Realm instead of focusing on their soul like the cultivators, instead strengthened their bodies just like the beasts in the Mortal Realm.

Due to this, the cultivators always faced a hard time when hunting the beasts down.

Therefore, the cultivators always had to outnumber the beast they wanted to hint by a large number if they wanted to win without any casualties.

But, since Jian Shen was an ascender, even though his soul hadn't completely recovered yet, Lifen had enough faith in the strength he obtained from withstanding the Heavenly Tribulations due to which she brought him here with her.

This was also why she didn't do such a thing until now and only did so after finding someone like Jian Shen whose strength she could trust.

This went to show that even she wasn't confident in hypnotizing every beast inside the Black Forest despite her strength standing at the apex inside the Divine Realm at the Eternal Palace Realm.
