Tianzi Jin smiled and said, "Then, Fellow Daoist, you've come to the right place. This Yellow Springs Holy Land indeed has many treasures. If you're lucky, you might even find fragments of immortal artifacts."
"Immortal artifacts?"
Lu Xin was surprised and immediately asked, "May I ask, what are these immortal artifacts?"
Tianzi Jin was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was a 'three-nothing' cultivator with no powerful sect inheritance, so it was normal not to know. Thus, he casually explained:
"Immortal artifacts are treasures used by immortals in the upper realm. Their specific names are unknown, but even fragments of them possess power that far exceeds the spiritual treasures we use."
"I see. Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for clearing my doubts."
Lu Xin cupped his hands in thanks, but he was thinking that the Yellow Springs Holy Land, which even had items used by immortals, was definitely not simple and that this trip was well worth it.
So he wanted to ask more questions.
But at this moment, there was a sudden disturbance in the sky. A cloud of black mist suddenly appeared above the mountain range, then rotated, forming a black hole.
"Fellow Daoist Yellow Dragon, the Holy Land is open. We'll go ahead first."
After the black hole formed, everyone rushed in without waiting, turning into streams of light. Tianzi Jin and his companion didn't delay either, leaving a sentence before following.
Lu Xin was determined to follow closely behind them, so he quickly caught up.
"Fellow Daoists, wait for me."
After passing through the black hole, Lu Xin arrived at a space where the sky was gloomy, the surroundings were desolate and cold, and a chilling aura permeated the air.
Even at his level, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Yellow Springs, could it be the Netherworld?"
He muttered to himself, glanced around, and found that the people who had entered earlier had not been teleported away. Moreover, they seemed to be very familiar with this place and went straight ahead.
Lu Xin naturally didn't want to fall behind, so he quickly followed, using his clone's vision.
Soon, he followed the crowd to a river flowing with yellow water.
Looking ahead, he couldn't see the other bank at a glance.
However, with their cultivation levels, flying across shouldn't be too difficult, but no one moved, apparently waiting for something.
Lu Xin understood that there was something strange about this river.
So he brazenly walked to Tianzi Jin's side and rudely pushed away the person standing next to him. "Excuse me, Fellow Daoist, please make way."
He wore a simple and honest smile on his face.
The person he pushed away was about to get angry, but seeing this smiling face, he finally snorted coldly and didn't pursue the matter.
"Fellow Daoists, we meet again."
Lu Xin cupped his hands.
Tianzi Jin and Nalan Zizhu both wore strange expressions. "Does Fellow Daoist want to ask why we don't fly across the river?"
"Fellow Daoist is indeed insightful," Lu Xin complimented.
Tianzi Jin didn't hide anything. "This river is called the Yellow Springs River. There is a huge suction force above it, and no one can fly across."
"Then what happens if you fall into the river?"
"Inanimate objects will immediately dissolve into nothing, while living beings will have their essence and blood eroded and their primordial spirit corroded."
"So powerful?"
Although Lu Xin had already guessed, he didn't expect to underestimate the river's harmfulness. "I wonder if my golden body can withstand it."
He muttered to himself and asked again:
"I wonder what we are waiting for?"
"A ferryman."
Tianzi Jin pointed forward. "In a moment, an old man will come rowing a ferry to pick us up."
"Oh?"
Lu Xin was surprised again. He didn't expect there to be someone here. He wanted to ask what kind of being the ferryman was, but he heard Tianzi Jin continue:
"Fellow Daoist Yellow Dragon, don't blame me for not reminding you, only by crossing this Yellow Springs River can you truly enter the Holy Land. Moreover, the ferry can only carry ten people each time, and the next trip will be a long time away. First come, first served, so it will depend on your own abilities later."
His meaning was clear: don't expect them to help him compete for a position later.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for telling me," Lu Xin cupped his hands again and glanced around. Excluding his three clones, there were a total of thirty-seven people.
That meant they would have to cross the river in four batches.
Seeing the subtle competition among the crowd, it seemed that getting across first had its advantages.
So he had to fight for this first batch no matter what.
Soon, as Tianzi Jin said, an old man wearing a straw raincoat, holding a thin bamboo pole, slowly rowed a ferry over.
Lu Xin looked at the old man, unable to sense any aura from him. He had no cultivation, no vitality, like a dead man.
However, seeing that the people around him were not impatient at all and did not urge him to speed up, but waited quietly.
He knew it definitely wasn't that simple.
"I wonder what materials that bamboo pole and that boat are made of that they are not affected by the Yellow Springs water," Lu Xin wondered in his heart.
Soon, the ferry docked, and then the old man stood on the bow of the boat without moving.
"I'll go first."
Someone spoke up, taking the lead and causing a chain reaction. Everyone began to compete for a seat on the ferry.
"Bang!" "Boom!"
"Ah!"
Due to the special nature of the Yellow Springs River, only the area where the bow of the ferry touched the riverbank could be boarded.
And the bow was only a little over half a zhang wide, very narrow, and could only allow one person to pass first.
So most people crowded together, unwilling to give way, fighting fiercely.
Everywhere was the sound of collisions and screams.
Lu Xin wasn't in a hurry to act. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get on for a while.
"Haha, I, Lei An, am destined to be the first one!"
At this moment, a strong man shone with lightning, appearing in front of the bow and rudely knocking away the two people fighting there, then took the opportunity to step onto the ferry, becoming the first person to board.
This inspired many people, and they all began to use their own methods.
Tianzi Jin summoned a compass-like device, instantly isolating a space in front of the bow, blocking everyone else out.
Then he pulled Nalan Zizhu onto the boat quickly.
"Damn it!"
A man who was about to board the boat was suddenly pushed away by the compass, unable to contain his anger. When he reacted, another person appeared in front of him.
It was a woman wearing a veil. Lu Xin had heard the black-robed man introduce her as Li Mulin, the Holy Maiden of the Yuanze Holy Land, with natural heterochromatic eyes.
"I wonder what her relationship with Li Youlan is," Lu Xin muttered to himself.
At this time, the man who had been suddenly pushed away by the compass, seeing that someone else was taking his place, instantly became furious. "Get out of my way!"
He reached out to grab Li Mulin, but even though he clearly grabbed her, it was as if he grabbed nothing.
Looking again, the other party had already boarded the boat.
"Illusion?" Lu Xin was a little surprised, but he didn't see through it.
After being surprised, the man didn't think much and quickly wanted to step onto the ferry, but at this moment, a blade of light slashed over from behind.
The sharp blade energy caused everyone to change color and retreat quickly.
The man also felt a chill down his spine and quickly dodged.
Tss tss chh.
The blade energy stopped just as it reached the bow, and then a figure appeared there and stepped up.
"It's him." Lu Xin had also heard the black-robed man introduce this person as Quan Lingyun, the Holy Son of the Miluo Holy Land.
"Interesting."
At this time, there were already five people on the ferry, which meant that there were only five spots left in the first batch.
The struggle instantly became more intense.
Then, the black-robed man and the palace-dressed woman, whom Lu Xin had wanted to communicate with earlier, worked together, holding hands and stirring up a whirlwind, appearing in front of the bow in an instant, as if by teleportation, and stepped up.
Having lost three more places in a row, there were now only two spots left.
"I can't wait any longer."
Seeing this, Lu Xin decided to take action.
