第三千零九十三章 灵眼之泉与灵眼之湖

Soon enough, they arrived.

The grand hall was a place where the Cloud Conceal Sect's elders would convene to discuss important matters. Ordinary cultivators couldn't enter; apart from Lin Xuan, only the Dragon-named youth and the silver-eyed maiden followed him in.

As for the other disciples, they stopped collectively, including Red Silk, Stone Fairy, and others who had returned with him. Although Lin Xuan hadn’t asked about what trouble Cloud Conceal Sect encountered on his journey back, the activation of the protective array indicated significant changes. Under these circumstances, it was only natural that Red Silk and the others wouldn't disturb Lin Xuan.

As a cultivator who accompanied the Supreme Elder in returning, he naturally wasn’t ignored here. Disciples responsible for reception greeted them and arranged temporary accommodations for them.

The Guest Tower was an excellent choice.

As to how to proceed next, they were unclear and had to wait for further instructions from Elder Lin.

...

"Let's not talk about it now." After entering the grand hall, attendants served fine wine and fruits. However, Lin Xuan didn’t have time to sit down; he immediately began asking questions: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, what’s going on? I was attacked by my sect’s disciples upon returning. Although they seemed to have mistaken me for someone else, such a hasty and unreasoned attack is excessive. What trouble has the sect encountered that made its disciples react so violently?"

"And why did we even activate the protective array? Knowing this defense mechanism is formidable, but it consumes a lot of crystal stones..."

"Junior Brother, you don’t know..."

The Dragon-named youth and silver-eyed maiden exchanged embarrassed glances upon hearing Lin Xuan’s questions. Their faces showed a hint of unease.

It was understandable why they felt this way. Since Lin Junior Brother's return, Cloud Conceal Sect had prospered immensely, even becoming one of the top forces in the Nael Dragon Realm. However, just a few hundred years after his departure, the sect faced such a crisis; indeed, they felt their abilities were inadequate.

Seeing their expressions, Lin Xuan sighed and realized he had spoken too harshly. But he didn’t mean any malice; he was simply impatient.

Lin Xuan took a sip of spirit wine to calm himself: "Senior Sister, what’s the situation?"

"Junior Brother, it's like this."

The silver-eyed maiden combed her hair and spoke in a gentle voice: "Our sect is facing significant trouble. The root cause began with an unexpected discovery at our main hall—a precious artifact known as a Spirit Eye Spring."

"A Spirit Eye Spring?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback; the expression on his face showed surprise. Although this was one of the three major Spirit Eyes in cultivation, it wasn’t particularly rare for high-ranking cultivators.

Essentially, it just made the surrounding qi more dense. Other than that, there were no other uses.

For a sect like Cloud Conceal, it hardly counted as a treasure. Why would such a minor Spirit Eye Spring bring disaster to our sect?

Curiosity aside, Lin Xuan didn’t ask further; his senior sister would explain everything.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, the silver-eyed maiden continued: "Currently, it’s just one Spirit Eye Spring, which isn’t significant. Initially, we paid no attention to it, only delighting several junior disciples who had established their cave dwellings nearby. With this artifact, the density of qi around their caves increased significantly, greatly benefiting their cultivation."

"However, over time, something unbelievable happened. The Spirit Eye Spring gradually grew larger and within a few years turned into a Spirit Eye Lake."

"A Spirit Eye Lake?"

Lin Xuan’s face showed a strange expression; indeed, it was coincidental. He had similarly obtained a Spirit Eye Lake in the lost realm.

This artifact was far more advanced than a Spirit Eye Spring because of its vast area and denser emitted qi. From certain angles, it could be considered akin to a minor top-grade spirit vein.

Its value was considerable.

But it depended on who you were. For smaller sects or families, this might have been highly sought after, but for Cloud Conceal Sect, a Spirit Eye Lake would bring disaster? That seemed too absurd.

Lin Xuan shook his head and dismissed the thought. Could there be another reason behind all of this?

Seeing Lin Xuan’s confusion, the two didn’t hesitate to explain: "This is hard to describe in one sentence; you should see it for yourself."

"Oh?"

Lin Xuan was surprised but then smiled. "If Senior Brother Dragon suggests we go and see, I’ll gladly follow your lead."

"Good, let me take the lead."

The silver-eyed maiden had no objections either. Together with the Dragon-named youth, they each displayed their abilities and flew out of the hall.

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows but didn’t make any extra movements; he followed closely behind, surrounded by a faint green glow.

The journey was brief, taking less than a cup of tea’s time before the trio arrived at Cloud Conceal Sect's rear mountain. The scenery here differed from earlier, yet it was still lush with greenery and fragrant flowers.

Although Lin Xuan had rarely ventured out in Cloud Conceal Sect, he had been to the rear mountain several thousand years ago. However, what he saw now felt different.禁制阵法几乎一个接一个,到处都可以看见巡逻jing戒的修仙者,而且以高阶存在居多。

这种情景,在以前的后山,那是绝不可能见到的。“这灵眼之湖,师兄师姐还真是重视无比,它有什么与众不同之处。”林轩心中好奇,不由嘀咕道。一路上虽然防范森严,但三位太上长老驾临此处,自然是畅通无阻。过了一会儿,终于来到了目的地。
