"Found it."
Xiang Mantang suddenly opened his eyes and then strode toward the room on the second floor.
He moved swiftly, with the people behind him worrying about a possible accident; they all followed him.
The old man was naturally being carried by the "snake," following behind Xiang Mantang.
Being carried, and feeling an extrely uncomfortable swaying after moving ten ters with each step, the old man realized that the room containing the Spring of Life, which he had sealed away, had been opened by Xiang Mantang.
"How is this possible?!"
The old man felt extrely shocked.
If Xiang Mantang had searched room by room and finally found the Spring of Life, he would have nothing to say and would admit defeat.
But Xiang Mantang hadn't searched room by room; he had purposefully gone straight to this room.
As if he was able to foresee the future.
Or perhaps, there was a traitor among his subordinates who sold him out to Xiang Mantang?
Xiang Mantang didn't care about the old man's thoughts. After opening the door, he stared at a cultivation vessel in the room, containing a full volu of pale green liquid.
It was this liquid that gave off an extrely intense aura of life.
"I wonder if these Springs of Life can awaken my senior fellow disciple?"
Xiang Mantang muttered in his heart.
Mu Jinyu had shown Xiang Mantang the Ten Thousand Year Wood Core and over ten bottles of the Spring of Life when he obtained them.
Therefore, Xiang Mantang, after a quick comparison, realized that the Spring of Life before him was a bit more potent than the ones Mu Jinyu had previously obtained.
"If these Springs of Life don't work, maybe finding out where the old man got his Spring of Life will lead us to treasures similar to the Ten Thousand Year Wood Core?"
Xiang Mantang speculated.
Then, he said to San Liu, "Take this vessel down and bring it back with us later."
"Yes."
San Liu had been sowhat rebellious, but as Xiang Mantang's power soared, reaching the God Realm, he began to submit to him, obeying his commands.
Then, San Liu went over and took the cultivation vessel, causing the Spring of Life inside to shake a bit.
Luckily, San Liu was also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, proficient in controlling his strength; otherwise, if it were an ordinary strongman who clumsily removed it, the vessel might have been crushed entirely.
San Liu carried the vessel and was about to walk outside to place it on the helicopter for transport back.
Watching San Liu take away the Spring of Life, Xiang Mantang turned back to the old man and said,
"Now, tell all the information about the mbers of your Withered Tree Quest for Spring, as well as where this Spring of Life ca from."
Xiang Mantang's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable force.
It was as if those who heard it, if they did not obey, would face severe consequences!
The old man's face was ashen, knowing that the Spring of Life allocated to him within the organization had been completely taken by Xiang Mantang, completely losing his chance to extend his life.
When he heard Xiang Mantang's words, he humphed disdainfully, choosing not to answer very stubbornly.
After all, in his view, he would not live many more years anyway, so why obey Xiang Mantang?
And by not betraying the Withered Tree Quest for Spring, there was a chance he could still obtain more Spring of Life if he survived.
However, that was what he thought, but his body did not cooperate. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelFɪre
Ten minutes later.
After the "Snake" ticulously "cared" for the old man, the old man obediently told everything to Xiang Mantang.
"Snap!"
Having obtained the necessary information and confirming that the old man had not lied, Xiang Mantang personally took action and snapped the old man's throat.
The old man's eyes widened, not with resentnt, fear, or despair, but with relief and joy.
This showed how frightened he had been by the "Snake's" care, to the point that death had beco a release.
"Let's go."
After Xiang Mantang had Naless and the others take away all the money they could from the old man, he set the entire magnificent manor ablaze with a single fire!
Amidst the soaring black smoke, they boarded a helicopter and flew towards Huaxia.
Half a day later, they returned to the Sanatorium at Capital City's Dragon King Hall, where Xiang Mantang personally carried a jar of the Spring of Life to where Mu Jinyu was in deep slumber.
As they opened the door, the room was now empty.
Whether it was Su Zijin or Gu Xiyan, the three won, knowing that Mu Jinyu would awaken, had not given up hope completely, so they rallied. Gu Xiyan and Wen Rou continued to manage the Jinyu Group, while i Yinxue followed the mbers of the Dragon King Hall in participating in special training to beco stronger, so that one day, she could protect Mu Jinyu.
As for Su Zijin, she would co over every day since she had nothing else to do.
However, Xiang Mantang specifically chose a ti when she had gone back to visit Mu Jinyu.
Seeing Su Zijin stirred feelings of guilt in him, making him unsure of how to speak to her.
Xiang Mantang, through the Mysterious Ice Coffin Lid, looked at the peacefully sleeping Mu Jinyu inside, holding the jar of the Spring of Life, his eyes filled with guilt, "Senior brother, I will soon find the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to save you!"
Xiang Mantang whispered to himself, a promise to Mu Jinyu, and also a vow for his lifelong pursuit.
Then, he pushed open the coffin lid, and a terrifying chill spread out. Xiang Mantang, undeterred by the cold, gently poured the Spring of Life into the coffin, allowing Mu Jinyu's body to soak in it.
When about half of it was used, and just as the Spring of Life was about to subrge Mu Jinyu's mouth and nose, Xiang Mantang stopped.
Then, he opened Mu Jinyu's mouth and fed him a bit of the Spring of Life as well.
"Thud!"
Having completely used up the Spring of Life, he placed the glass container aside and watched Mu Jinyu's complexion.
His originally pale face, after having taken the Spring of Life and being soaked in it, receiving a vast amount of Life Source Energy, looked much rosier.
Now, he truly seed like he was rely asleep.
"It really works!"
Xiang Mantang murmured to himself, then with a determined look, he turned and walked away.
The room was quickly locked, not allowing outsiders to enter.
Not long after Xiang Mantang left, a jade pendant hanging around Mu Jinyu's neck suddenly flickered with a brilliant light under the soak of the Spring of Life, then quickly subdued.
If Xiang Mantang were still here, he would have recognized that this jade pendant was the very one given to Mu Jinyu by their master, Mu Shao'ai, when he left Yinlong Mountain.
...
After leaving the sanatorium,
he imdiately got into a red flag sedan and drove to a courtyard house.
That place was the residence of the forr Big Dipper Tianshu of the Dragon King Hall.
The old man had also been eligible to compete for the position of Tiance True Dragon of the Dragon King Hall but ultimately lost to the Old Dragon King. Had he remained in the Dragon King Hall until the Old Dragon King passed away, he could have had the chance to beco the New Dragon King. However, a few years ago, he was severely injured in a battle and early passed the position of Big Dipper Tianshu to Xiang Mantang.
Afterward, he had been living in this courtyard house, enjoying his years peacefully.
According to the old man's story, this forr Tianshu had joined Withered Tree Quest for Spring very early on, and the Spring of Life was also provided by him.
