Xiao Chen wandered around the bottom of the pool, trying to crack the eighth-level formation, but he never succeeded.
Although he could see the layout principle of this formation based on his level of formation, there was a special force in the Spirit Cleansing Pond that kept blocking him, preventing him from successfully breaking through the formation.
If the formation is broken by force, it may be possible, but it will take a lot of time.
"It's better to wait and try again after absorbing the White Fairy Rose. There's no rush now!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen returned to the water again.
Ye Yufei and Xiao Yingxue have already entered the water and are running their exercises, using the Spirit Cleansing Pond to wash away their turbid energy while absorbing the rich spiritual energy in the Spirit Cleansing Pond.
In the Spirit Washing Pool, although both women were wearing clothes, the water wet them and stuck to their bodies, highlighting their respective figures.
Fortunately, Xiao Yingxue has been with Xiao Chen for more than a year, but she doesn't seem to have grown much and has always maintained her petite appearance.
Ye Yufei is different. She is twenty-two years old, has a slim and plump figure, and her appearance is very attractive.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't pay much attention to this, and he didn't shy away from it at all. He just kept staring at the two women with pure eyes.
Ye Yufei was a little shy at first, but when she thought about her clothes, it didn't matter.
What's more, Xiao Chen is the person closest to her, so she doesn't mind.
Xiao Yingxue, on the other hand, didn't think much about it at all. She floated happily in the water and said with a smile: "It's so comfortable here!"
Xiao Chen smiled when he heard this. This was the first time he saw Xiao Yingxue looking so innocent and romantic. She seemed to be gradually regaining her girlish nature.
"If you like it, stay here for a few more days. But don't just play around, focus on cultivation!"
"Oh!" Xiao Yingxue nodded obediently.
Ye Yufei swam to Xiao Chen and asked, "What did you find under the pool?"
"There is a huge secret hidden here, it's very shocking!" Xiao Chen told the truth, "But it can't be opened for the time being, so practice in the Spirit Cleansing Pond first. This water will do you no harm at all."
"Okay, I understand!" Ye Yufei also nodded.
In this way, Ye Yufei and Xiao Yingxue began to take a bath in the Spirit Cleansing Pond, while running their exercises and absorbing the aura of the pond water for practice.
As for Xiao Chen, he also soaked in the Spirit Cleansing Pond, but the Spirit Cleansing Pond had little effect on him, so he just stayed with them.
…
Time flies by half a month.
On this day, outside the Spirit Cleansing Pool, more than ten disciples arrived under the leadership of two inner sect elders, but they were intercepted by the guard elders.
"Elder Zhang, why don't you let us in?" an inner sect elder asked.
"Yes, this group of disciples has the best results in the recent assessment, and according to the rules, they are qualified to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pond!" Another inner sect elder agreed.
The two of them have always been responsible for disciple assessment and reward matters. Although they have no friendship with Elder Zhang, they have met each other several times and got to know each other. In the past few times, they were polite.
But this time for some unknown reason, when they arrived with their disciples, Elder Zhang was completely disrespectful and refused to let them in.
"If you can't enter, you can't enter. The Spirit-washing Pool is not open to the public during this period. You should go back!" Elder Zhang said impatiently.
In the Butterfly Immortal Valley, hierarchy is based on strength. He originally proposed to guard the Spirit Cleansing Pond as a casual job.
In terms of strength, he is among the best among the elders of Diexian Valley, and few can compare with him.
"What about these disciples? According to the regulations, they are qualified to enter the spiritual pool!" asked two inner sect elders.
Elder Zhang glanced at the dozen or so disciples and said calmly: "Reschedule or cancel!"
"Cancel?"
Not only the two inner sect elders, but also the dozen or so disciples became panicked.
The Spirit Cleansing Pond only opens once every six months, and they have been preparing for this opportunity for half a year.
After finally working hard to obtain the quota, how can they be willing to be cancelled?
"Elder Zhang, this is against the rules. We are here under the orders of the Valley Master, you can't do this!"
"You are just a gatekeeper. What right do you have to decide whether to let us in?" A square-faced disciple was so excited that he forgot his sense of proportion.
And these words undoubtedly angered Elder Zhang.
"Yes, I am indeed just a gatekeeper, and I don't have much influence in the valley. But I am still qualified to treat you, a young disciple. Do you believe what I say, you will never even think about entering the Spirit Cleansing Pool in your life?"
Elder Zhang stared at the square-faced disciple with a cold snort.
When the square-faced disciple heard this, he was immediately frightened and turned pale.
If he cannot enter the Spirit Cleansing Pond in his lifetime, the gap between him and the top disciples will become wider and wider, and he will never have the chance to enter the core ranks of the Butterfly Immortal Valley, which means his future will be ruined.
"Xiuyuan, help me!" He did not choose to apologize, but turned around and asked a young man in purple behind him.
"Zhiqing, you don't know the rules, how can you talk to the elder like this?" Die Xiuyuan gave the square-faced disciple a lesson, then stepped forward and said to Elder Zhang, "Elder Zhang, my grandfather often mentions you in front of him, saying
How brave you were back then, defeating all the geniuses from Xuanyu Palace, Tongtian Island, and Shushan!"
The surname Die has an extraordinary status in Diexian Valley, because Diexian Valley was founded by the ancestors of Diexian.
However, not all people in the Die Immortal Valley have the surname Die. Many of them are adopted disciples with foreign surnames. Disciples with foreign surnames can stay in Die Immortal Valley and become elders after they become famous.
For example, Elder Zhang.
Elder Zhang was once an orphan whose parents died. He was later adopted by a senior in the Die Immortal Valley and became a disciple of the Die Immortal Valley.
When he was young, he was one of the most famous geniuses in the Butterfly Immortal Valley. He once defeated three geniuses in the exchange competition between the four major forces and won the championship.
Now that he is older, he stayed in Diexian Valley and became an elder. His strength is still outstanding, but he doesn't like to be in the limelight.
"Are you the great elder's grandson?" Elder Zhang recognized Die Xiuyuan.
The only grandson of the great elder of Diexian Valley and now the leader among the younger generation of Diexian Valley, this is not the first time he has entered the Spirit Cleansing Pond.
"That's right, junior!" Die Xiuyuan's demeanor seemed to be respectful, but his tone contained a hint of superiority.
He is a member of the main lineage of Diexian Valley and one of the top geniuses among the younger generation. His grandfather is the great elder of Diexian Valley.
No matter your identity, background or talent, you are impeccable, and you will inevitably feel that you are superior to others.
"Elder Zhang, for the sake of the Valley Master and my grandfather, please let us in. This will be good for everyone, right?" Die Xiuyuan said.
"Hmph, you are quite nice when you talk, but I said no one can go in today, and it will be the same if your grandpa comes in person!" Elder Zhang still refused to give face, and refused coldly.
"Elder Zhang, you..."
Die Xiuyuan's expression immediately darkened. He did not expect that this little gatekeeper elder would have such a bad temper that he would not even give him the respect of his grandfather.
