"Your soul is taking longer to heal than I expected. At this rate, even if I play you a song every day it will take you at least a few months for your soul to be completely healed."
Nodding his head because Jian Shen had already sensed this due to how hard it was for a near shattered Nascent Soul to be completely healed, he asked, "What should I do then?"
"Inside the Black Forest, other than life-threatening dangers for even the strongest cultivators in the Divine Realm, there are also heavenly treasures which can completely change your fate."
"And the Spring of Immortality is one of these treasures."
Looking confused because he didn't know much about such things, Jian Shen caused Lifen to feel surprised because he knew about the more less known Heavenly Creations but not this one which was known by almost everyone who was interested in the Black Forest.
After all, it was this Spring of Immortality which made cultivators risk their lives and enter the Black Forest.
The Spring of Immortality. Though no one knew who created it, or how it came into existence, almost every cultivator knew what its use was.
To immortalize the soul.
Entering the Nascent Soul Formation Realm did grant the cultivator a soul which would last for all eternity unless destroyed.
But, if that was enough for a cultivator, there would be the next stages, would there?
This Spring of Immortality in simple terms was like giving steroids to the already Immortal soul.
Taking a bath in the Spring of Immortality was enough to give a mortal a Nascent Soul. So, what would happen to the who possessed a Nascent Soul already?
With the Soul Essence from the Spring of Immortality entering their body every second they spent soaking their body inside it, the cultivator would be able to greatly increase their cultivation in a very short span without having to worry about any possible side effects.
"Where is this Spring of Immortality?"
Chuckling a little, Lifen said, "If such a great treasure was so easy to find, wouldn't everyone be inside the Black Forest instead?"
"What are you saying? Does the Spring of Immortality not exist all the time or does its location keep on changing? Are either of these options even possible?"
"Your second option is actually correct. No one still knows how, but the location of the Spring of Immortality keeps on changing once every day."
"Every day?!"
"Yes."
"Ho..."
Almost asking how, Jian Shen stopped himself since he remembered Lifen saying that no one knew how.
"Smart. I would've been so disappointed if you had asked how. Not just me, no one actually knows the mystery hidden behind the Spring of Immortality."
"Fine, neither you nor anyone knows why the Spring of Immortality keeps changing its location. So how do you plan on finding where it is right now?"
"By searching."
"How?"
"Did you forget that I'm a Snow Tailed Fox? The only thing I love more than ice is treasures."
"Don't tell me. You plan on sniffing out its location?"
Growling like a cute fox, Lifen angrily said, "I'm not a dog, Jian Shen."
"Then?"
"We foxes have so many tails not to show off how cute they look. They help us sense through the ground as long as they remain in contact with them."
Nodding his head in understanding, Jian Shen figured out what it was that he and Lifen were going to do next.
Go on a wild goose chase.
The only difference was that if they compared this situation to trying to find a needle in a haystack, they had a small rock which destroyed all the hay it came in contact with.
Though they had to remove and place the rock again and again to eliminate the unneeded hay, the chances of finding the needle was quite high in comparison to just using their hands.
The problem, however, was that the hay destroyed by the rock would be regenerated at the end of the day forcing them to start from the beginning once again.
"I've got one last question, Lifen."
"What now?"
"How far can your tails sense through the ground?"
"They... "
Stopping and not finishing her sentence, Lifen awkwardly looked towards the sun and said, "We don't have much time, let's get started before we lose the sunlight."
Unable to chuckle even though he wanted to, Jian Shen prepared himself for a very very long trip because Lifen's words made him lose quite a lot of confidence in her special treasure-seeking tails.
"Don't look like that, Jian Shen. Have more faith in me. I saved your life, didn't I?"
Groaning loudly since Lifen seemed to be using that line quite a lot the past few days Jian Shen could only follow behind her as she started flying away.
I saved your life so can't you hint a Winged Fire Tiger for me?
There's a special fruit which makes women look more beautiful? Find one for me, Jian Shen. I saved your life, didn't I?
Whatever it was that she wanted, she seemed to be spamming the same line to make him do it.
And even this Spring of Immortality, Jian Shen was sure that there was something about it that benefited Lifen more than it benefited him.
He was most likely just someone she wanted to take along with her so that the trip wouldn't be too boring.
Unfortunately, even though he knew that Jian Shen couldn't say anything because of how cute and gentle she looked even when making such petty manipulations.
