Chapter 1930 Hot Springs Of The Shuijing Clan
Chapter 1930 Hot Springs Of The Shuijing Clan
Seeing that Lin Mu was in front of them, the Shuijing Clan members were a bit flustered.
This was the first time these particular members were directly talking to him, and as such were a bit overwhelmed. But much to their surprise, Lin Mu was easy goings and didn't seem as overbearing and pressuring as many other young experts.
"O-of course!" The Shuijing Clan members replied.
"Do I just go in?" Lin Mu asked, looking at the signboard just in front of them.
"Ah! Please wait!" One of the members said and quickly rushed into the hot spring section.
"You are our honored guest, as such we can't just let you use the common area, Daoist Mu Lin." One of the other members replied. "Please let us prepare the private area for you."
"You don't have to take extra effort for me." Lin Mu replied.
"Please, it'll be our honor." The Shuijing Clan members insisted.
"Alright." Lin Mu decided to accept.
He didn't have to wait that long either, as just two minutes later, the clan member who had left returned.
"Please, come with me Daoist Mu Lin. We've prepared it for you." The clan member spoke.
"Very well." Lin Mu said and went along.
The two first entered the corridor that led to the actual hot spring area.
And as soon as they stepped into it, Lin Mu felt the change in the atmosphere. He knew they had passed through a barrier of a kind. But this kind of barrier wasn't meant to keep things out, but rather in.
'An energy reflective isolating formation… guess they want to keep the energy of the Hot Springs inside.' Lin Mu thought to himself.
In the air, he could sense several types of energies. Not only was there normal Immortal Qi, but there were five types of elemental immortal Qis spread within, too.
'Have they set up multiple elemental formations, or is it just a spring that has all the elements?' Lin Mu wondered.
~shua~
And a few seconds later, Lin Mu finally got to see the actual hot springs.
"This is… more of a large lake." Lin Mu muttered.
"You are right, Daoist Mu Lin." The Shuijing Clan Member replied. "It is indeed a lake."
"Huh… interesting… And it is all natural?" Lin Mu asked.
"Well… not exactly." The Shuijing Clan Member replied. "The lake's structure and size itself are natural. But originally it was just a normal lake." He added.
"Then did the Shuijing clan use formations to turn it into a hot spring?" Lin Mu asked next.
"No, rather we connected the lake with an underground vein of hot spring. The two weren't linked before, as there was solid rock blocking them. But with a little digging, we managed to connect the two and the lake fully transformed into a hot spring.
Of course, all this was done long ago and since then it has been improved several times." The Shuijing Clan member explained.
"Oh? What kind of improvements are they?" Lin Mu asked.
"You can sense the elemental Qi in the air right?" The clan member asked instead.
"I do yes." Lin Mu nodded his head.
"Well, each component of the Hot Springs is carefully selected and provides Immortal Qi of various elements through them." The Shuijing Clan member said before pointing to the hot spring.
Lin Mu followed his finger and saw that he was pointing at a rock hill.
The hot spring had tens of such large rock hills, placed in the lake, which also provided a way to separate it out into different sections. These sections were then connected with red wooden bridges that looked rather quaint in the steaming spring water.
Then there were multiple plants that were planted along the edges of the lake as well as at the base of the rocky hills. In addition to this, there were even some flowers that were gently floating in the hot spring, completely unbothered by the heat.
Most plants would not like such heat and would either die or stop growing from conditions like this. But the flowers and plants here were thriving with no issues.
"The rocky hills provide the Earth elemental Qi, the plants provide the Wood Elemental Qi, while the water of the hot spring provides the water elemental Qi. The fire elemental Qi is infused due to the heat from the veins, and the metal elemental Qi comes from the natural minerals that are dissolved in the hot spring water." The Shuijing Clan member explained. "There are also Qi channeling formations underground, that link up with the rest of the clan's Qi channeling array and release immortal Qi here.
This Immortal Qi is then taken up by the components of the hot spring and converted into the respective elemental Immortal Qi. This not only makes the hot springs a good place to relax and rejuvenate, it also allows you to cultivate at the same time."
"Oh, and it is only the Shuijing Clan that has a hot spring like this in the entire Serene Glass Valley." The Shuijing Clan member said with pride. "We even offer the other clans, spots to come to use it from time to time. The demand is never low and many want to come visit."
Hearing the explanation, Lin Mu was impressed. He knew that doing something like this was only possible for a clan with a long existence like the Shuijing clan.
"The unique location of the Shuijing clan is certainly blessed to have this hot spring." Lin Mu gave a little praise as he looked at the hot springs.
There were many people who were soaking in the water and busy absorbing the immortal Qi. These were the clan members who had come to cultivate and mostly had low cultivation bases. On the other hand, there were a few that were simply there to relax.
Lin Mu saw a handful of them that were floating on the surface of the water as if they were on their beds. They had their eyes closed and their arms under their head.
'They sure are relaxing.' Lin Mu saw the other side of the coin.
