However, Lin Jin didn't see Qin Yunshang or Chen Xuankong.
He guessed they were still in their respective sects.
At this moment, Huang Shi whispered, "That's strange. I heard that there was a powerful celestial beast blocking the entrance of the Xuan Dao Sect. The Xuan Dao Sect's celestials can't come out. I haven't heard of any celestials from the Xuan Dao Sect in many years. Why did they come out today? Could they have gotten rid of that immortal beast blocking the entrance? "
These words were spoken in hushed tones as if it was a private discussion. Giant Spirit Sect's disciple shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything. Lin Jin didn't say a word. He knew that Xuan Dao Sect must have used his method to chase away the Rank 7 black mountain honey badger.
From the looks of it, his method must have worked.
But there was no need to tell anyone else about this.
Most of the itinerant immortals followed the rules and no one wanted to be enemies with the immortals from the sects. They had already said that when the spirit pool appeared, everyone would try their best to obtain it.
It all depended on who had a higher cultivation level and who was more capable.
"Brother Lin, do you have a suitable container for the spirit pool's water later?" Yellowstone suddenly asked. Lin Jin thought about it and patted the Four Seas Freedom Gourd at his waist.
"I'll just use this gourd to obtain some spirit water." Lin Jin was confident in his Four Seas Freedom Gourd.
However, Giant Spirit Sect's disciple quickly said, "Brother Lin, it's not easy to obtain the spirit pool's water. I've been here three times and I've only managed to obtain a ladle of water once. That was already a stroke of luck and the ladle I use is a powerful artifact."
"That's right. Obtaining the spirit pool's water requires both luck and strength. I've been here four times and I've failed three times." As Yellowstone spoke, he took out a cowhide water pouch from his waist. It was obvious that this was a powerful artifact.
Lin Jin only realized how difficult it was to obtain water after hearing this.
Simply put, the spirit pool's water was ethereal water that was extremely difficult to obtain. Sometimes, it was as light as a feather and sometimes as heavy as a mountain rock. Because the water was sentient, it would even resist.
Also, the spirit pool's water only appeared for a short period of time. Hence, in the past few times, the better ones only managed to obtain a large vat of water.
A large vat?
Just then, Lin Jin noticed a Buddha.
This Buddha was rather plump and dressed in plain clothes. His chest was exposed and he wore large prayer beads. His eyebrows were so long that they reached Lin Jin's chest. He had a benevolent look on his face and most importantly, there was a large vat in front of him.
It was half a person tall and made of bronze. There was a trace of celestial spiritual energy on it; it was clearly a powerful magic treasure.
"Fellow Daoist Lin has good eyesight. That's Buddhist Immortal Ferry, an extremely famous individual among the loose immortals. His cultivation is rather high, and the person who drew the most water from the Immortal Queen Spirit Pool was him. That water jar in front of him is called the Aqua Water Treasure Jar, and it's very mysterious. Every time, it can fill up a jar of spirit pool water."
There was a hint of envy in Huang Shi's voice.
It was also said that the water of the Spirit Pool had endless uses for cultivation, alchemy, artifact forging, and nourishing immortal beasts.
It was at this moment that the extremely dense water vapor began to condense into liquid. The immortals all perked up upon seeing this.
It was about to begin.
They immediately took out their magic treasures to collect water. Some of them were small bottles, some were bowls, some looked like the water ladle in Zuo Men's hands, and the large water vat used by Buddhist Immortal Ferry.
In short, they unleashed their supernatural powers.
Seeing this, Lin Jin quickly took out his Four Seas Freedom Gourd. Once the water vapor condensed into a large, floating ring of water, the immortals made their move. Lin Jin quickly invoked a spell to activate the Four Seas Freedom Gourd to absorb the spirit pool's water.
At this moment, the struggle between the various parties began.
Through various means, the spirit pool's water began to transform into various forms of fish and prawns. They dodged here and there, trying their best to evade the immortals' attempts to absorb the water.
This was already difficult enough. Trying to grab hold of this slippery spirit pool's water wasn't an easy task.
Even if they managed to obtain it, they would still need to wrestle with others. For example, there was a huge carp formed from the water of a spiritual pool. An Immortal used a jade bottle to lure it over, but halfway through, another Immortal intercepted it with magic power. The former was naturally unwilling, so the two of them wrestled.
They were competing in spells and magical treasures.
Whoever couldn't hold on would have to give up. When that happened, the winner would be able to absorb the carp transformed from the spirit pool's water.
From a certain perspective, although there wasn't any killing going on here, the competition wasn't weak at all. In fact, it was even more intense. However, there was one thing to be aware of. If one lost in a duel, they mustn't resort to violence. After all, the rules had been set. If one couldn't obtain the water, they could only blame themselves for being inferior.
Zuo Men and Huang Shi worked together, trying their best to absorb the spirit pool's water. However, although there was a lot of spirit pool's water, it was divided into different grades.
Some could transform into flying cranes and flood dragons, so it was obviously premium spirit water. This was extremely difficult to obtain and even some of the experts here couldn't do anything about it.
Hence, they could only turn their attention to the intermediate and inferior-grade spirit water. Even so, it was still difficult.
Lin Jin invoked a spell and the Four Seas Freedom Gourd by his waist floated up, hovering in front of him. The gourd's mouth opened wide and a powerful suction force gushed out.
At that moment, the spiritual creatures that were formed by the spirit pool water around the white jade piece trembled in unison. Then, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded happened.
These spirit creatures that had transformed from the spirit pond water actually changed directions and flew toward the Four Seas Freedom Gourd's suction force. The situation was difficult to deal with.
Even the Spirit Pond water that was about to be sucked into the Dharma treasures by the other immortals seemed to be attracted by something. It struggled to break free from the suction force of the Dharma treasures and began to fly toward the Four Seas Freedom Gourd. It looked as if it were eager to give it a try, unwilling to fall behind.
This scene made many immortals' jaws drop. They rubbed their eyes carefully as if what they just saw was an illusion.
But it wasn't an illusion.
Almost all of the spirit pool's water was flying toward the Four Seas Freedom Gourd. Some immortals tried to stop them midway and absorb the water but failed.
Among them was Buddha Water Ferry.
The fat on this Buddha's face was jiggling as he slapped the water jar, creating a buzzing sound. At the same time, he gathered his mana in an attempt to turn the situation around.
But it was no use.
The spirit pool's water that was about to be absorbed by him turned around and flew away from him. Buddha Water Ferry was anxious and angry but there was nothing he could do.
The entire process happened very quickly. In just a few breaths' time, almost all of the spirit pool's water was sucked into the Four Seas Freedom Gourd, vanishing without a trace.
After absorbing the spirit pool's water, the Four Seas Freedom Gourd's lid closed automatically and floated back to Lin Jin's waist.
Silence filled the place.
Everyone turned to Lin Jin, including Zuo Men and Huang Shi.
It was as if they had just seen a ghost.
Lin Jin was shocked too. He looked around and realized that if he didn't say something, things might get out of hand. His mind raced as he shrugged helplessly. "Everyone, to be honest, I didn't expect things to turn out this way either!"
