The magical spring of the Lin family was located on a hill on the outskirts of the Tianhuang Woods.
The hill was surrounded by towering trees and winding vines. Thousands of flowers bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance, resulting in a breathtaking view.
"Such a strong life force!"
Lin Buzheng exclaimed. He could vaguely sense that the flowers and trees in this area were growing more vigorously compared to other places. The air and the ground seemed to be filled with vitality.
"Who's there?"
A few wooden huts were built at the edge of the magical spring for the disciples guarding the magical spring to stay in.
Hearing Lin Buzheng's voice, a few figures sprang out from the huts and surrounded Lin Buzheng in the blink of an eye.
"Don't be nervous."
"I'm sent by the clan to guard the magical spring on your behalf. I'm not an enemy."
Lin Buzheng answered calmly. At the same time, he carefully sized up the four people surrounding him.
The one closest to Lin Buzheng was a tall, bald man with a sharp longsword on his back. His eyes were fierce, and there was a long and narrow scar on his exposed right arm. At first glance, one could tell that he was a ruthless person.
Behind the man was a short man with a vicious look. He looked at Lin Buzheng with a gloomy expression, as if he was thinking about something.
The third person was a man with a feminine expression. He frowned immediately after hearing Lin Buzheng's intention.
The last person was a little fatty with a joyful expression. His small eyes rolled around in his eye sockets, looking like he was full of mischief. Among the four of them, he stood the furthest back.
Their cultivations had all reached the eighth-layer Body Dao Realm!
"Humph, do you think I'm the only one?"
"Let me see the proof of your clan."
The bald man harrumphed coldly and spread his huge right hand in front of Lin Buzheng. His expression was dark, and his tone was filled with obvious rejection.
At the same time, the other three also looked at Lin Buzheng with unfriendly expressions.
Lin Buzheng frowned upon seeing this.
The magical spring was located at the outskirts of the Tianhuang Woods, a deserted and remote place.
Therefore, to the disciples of the Lin Clan, guarding the spiritual spring was a difficult task. Almost all the disciples left in a rush as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
But now that he had come to take his shift, these four disciples had no intention of leaving. Instead, they seemed to be rejecting his presence.
There seemed to be something wrong with this matter.
"Here."
Lin Buzheng's expression was calm. He did not say anything as he took out the proof of his clan and handed it to the bald man.
"Humph, so you're the only one."
The bald man held Lin Buzheng's proof in his hand and checked it repeatedly. After a while, he returned it to Lin Buzheng, "However, the clan always sends four people on duty. Why are you the only one this time?"
"The other three were injured on the way here, so they could only return to their clans to recuperate. I came alone to take their place," Lin Buzheng calmly replied, using the principle of not changing anything.
"I see!"
Hearing this, the bald man's face lit up and he smiled meaningfully. At the same time, he reached out and patted Lin Buzheng's shoulder. "If that's the case, why don't you go back with your injured companions?"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Buzheng asked. He had a feeling that the bald man was about to reveal his true intentions.
"Nothing."
"Don't you think that your cultivation level is too low, and you're alone? You're not strong enough to guard the magical spring?"
"On the surface, this place looks calm and peaceful. But in the dark, who knows how many martial experts are coveting the spiritual spring water. With your meager strength, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died here!"
The bald man grinned at Lin Buzheng. The threat in his words was obvious.
"Oh, is that so?"
"Guarding the magical spring is a mission given to me by the clan. It's not up to you whether I can complete it or not."
Unfortunately, Lin Buzheng did not even bat an eyelid after hearing the bald man's threat.
Guarding the magical spring was a mission given to Lin Buzheng by Instructor Lin Yong.
Using this chance, he could maintain a certain distance from Lin Liuliu and Lin Tianze.
Therefore, Lin Buzheng would never give up on this mission.
Besides, the bald man's unusual attitude made Lin Buzheng suspicious. He felt that there must be something fishy going on, thus it was impossible for him to leave.
"Humph, brat, you're asking for it!"
"Since you're not willing to leave, I'll send you off!"
Hearing this, the bald man's expression suddenly changed, becoming incomparably fierce. The hand on Lin Buzheng's shoulder exerted even more force, wanting to give Lin Buzheng a show of strength and push him to the ground.
"How is this possible …"
However, the next moment, something that shocked the bald man happened.
No matter how much force he exerted with his hand on Lin Buzheng's shoulder, Lin Buzheng's figure did not budge at all.
Buzz!
At that moment, a powerful inner force was emitted from Lin Buzheng's shoulder, resisting the force of the bald man's palm.
Even in the end, the bald man clenched his teeth and exerted all his strength, but he was still no match against the force!
This inner strength was simply too powerful.
It was so majestic that it was comparable to a Martial Artist at the peak of the Body Dao Realm!
"Nothing is impossible for me."
"Kneel!"
Lin Buzheng let out a roar and kicked out with his right leg at lightning speed, landing on the bald man's knees. The latter's legs immediately weakened, causing him to drop to his knees in front of Lin Buzheng.
"Big Brother!"
"How dare you attack Big Brother!"
Not far away, the bald man's three companions exclaimed when they saw what happened.
They never expected that the bald man, who was the strongest among the four of them, would be no match for Lin Buzheng!
"And the rest of you, kneel down too!"
Lin Buzheng's figure flashed continuously. His movements were so fast that no one could see him clearly. They only felt a pain in their knees, and then, like the bald man, they knelt down in front of Lin Buzheng one by one.
In an instant, the huge forest was dead silent!
At that moment, the terrifying strength that Lin Buzheng had displayed completely stunned the bald man and the other three!
"Speak."
"Why are the four of you still here?"
"What's the secret of this place?"
Lin Buzheng clasped his hands behind his back and stood in front of the bald man and the other three. His expression was calm, but the aura that he exuded was a hundred times fiercer than the bald man's!
The bald man had no doubt that if he dared to lie and feign civility, Lin Buzheng would really kill him with one punch!
"I'll speak, I'll speak!"
Cold sweat broke out on the bald man's forehead. In the face of life and death, he did not dare to hide any secrets.
It turned out that six months ago, the Spiritual Spring water suddenly increased for some reason.
In one day, at least 20% more spring water could be produced.
The Spiritual Spring water contained a trace of spiritual power and could be used to train the body, temper the body, and refine weapons. It was extremely valuable.
The 20% more spring water was worth at least 100 taels of silver.
