Lin Yitang thought about it and realized that in addition to finding resources and replenishing the spiritual energy in the space, she also needed to find a way to compress spiritual energy more quickly.

Although this kind of skill is rare, what if it is passed down somewhere?

At this moment, the water in the spiritual spring had turned into ordinary water, no longer containing spiritual energy. Lin Yitang stood up and saw that in the other spiritual springs, the cultivators of the Tianyin Sect were still focused on their cultivation.

She sat down again, continued to compress her spiritual energy, and waited for them.

In fact, the speed at which a person absorbs spiritual energy can also reveal their talent. Lin Yitang's high aptitude allowed her to absorb spiritual energy quickly, enabling her to finish absorbing it first compared to others. Conversely, those with lower aptitude absorb spiritual energy more slowly and efficiently.

However, since they are already Foundation Establishment cultivators, their talent is generally not low. Lin Yitang believed that the cultivators of the Tianyin Sect would soon be able to absorb all the spiritual energy in the spiritual spring.

Sure enough, not long after, the other cultivators in the spiritual springs also stood up.

The eldest disciple was the first to stand up. She looked around, checked the situation of the sect's disciples and the surrounding formations, and waited for everyone to wake up after confirming that everything was in order.

She glanced at the timekeeping device in her hand and then said to everyone, "Three days have passed, and this spiritual spring is almost depleted. If we want to soak in it again, we need to hurry and find another spiritual spring."

The spiritual spring is a natural product, a natural pool of water that can only be produced in such places where spiritual energy gathers. Every drop used is a drop less, and if it is used up this time, you can only wait several years for the next opening of the secret realm to use it again.

There must be many spiritual springs in the secret realm that have been occupied by other forces. We need to quickly seize another one.

The disciples all agreed with their senior sister's words. So, the group set off in a grand procession towards the next spiritual spring.

Although the secret realm is fraught with danger, with a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert like Senior Sister now in charge, the dangers Lin Yitang had encountered before are no longer a problem.

The group's travel speed increased significantly, and they soon arrived at the location of the next spiritual spring.

A small sect from the north was guarding the spiritual spring. They were few in number and not particularly strong. Led by their senior sister, the disciples of the Tianyin Sect easily drove them away.

The cultivators from those minor sects fled in disarray. Lin Yitang watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of this world.

In this dog-eat-dog world, small sects without sufficient strength are easily manipulated by larger sects. They crave resources but often fail to obtain them. Only those with formidable power can wield authority in this world.

Three more days passed, and everyone had finished absorbing the spiritual spring again. By this time, Lin Yitang's cultivation level had completely stabilized, and the next step was to further compress the spiritual energy and increase her cultivation.

However, seven days after entering the secret realm, her spiritual flower space remained unchanged.

She tried throwing in some worthless spiritual items, but only two or three blue Five-Cauldron Begonias grew.

Now that I've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, increasing my strength has become more difficult, and collecting resources and earning spirit stones has become even harder. When I was in the Qi Refining stage, a few hundred low-grade spirit stones were enough to sustain my daily cultivation, but now it would probably cost over a thousand.

The resources needed to purchase Foundation Establishment stage items are all calculated based on mid-grade spirit stones. Fortunately, I had collected almost all the sect points through the disciple recruitment ceremony when I was an outer disciple, otherwise I would still have to spend time doing sect tasks now.

However, for the next three days, she could no longer travel with the people from the Tianyin Sect.

She needs to find the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring; if she brings so many people with her, she'll definitely expose more information.

So she asked the senior sister of the Tianyin Sect about the upcoming schedule.

The eldest sister replied that they would continue searching for the next spiritual spring. Although most spiritual springs had already been absorbed by people, there might still be some that hadn't been discovered yet.

Even without a spiritual spring, finding some high-level spiritual herbs and flowers, or defeating some demonic beasts, is still a good option. These can be exchanged for spirit stones or other necessary resources at the cultivation market, or for points within the sect.

Lin Yitang asked, "Why don't we explore the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring? I heard it's in the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this, the senior sister seemed to have heard something funny and burst out laughing.

But she was patient and explained to Lin Yitang, "There is no such thing as a Yin-Yang Spirit Spring. It's just a rumor. How can you believe it? Every time the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm opens, countless people lose their lives while searching for the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring, but in the end, no one finds it."

Instead of chasing after this uncertain opportunity, it's better to find more high-grade spiritual herbs. The benefits would be greater that way. Compared to those elusive opportunities, I much prefer tangible things in my hands.

Lin Yitang nodded; she understood her senior sister's thoughts.

In fact, this is what most people think.

For years, no one has been able to prove the existence of the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring. And since the secret realm is only open for ten days, instead of searching for a vague rumor, it is better to take all the resources that can be obtained from the ordinary secret realm.

However, Lin Yitang knew that the Yin-Yang Spiritual Spring was real. In the original story, the female protagonist, Ye Qiuli, had found it.

However, she wouldn't tell the disciples of the Tianyin Sect, since she only had a cooperative relationship with them, and revealing too much information would be overstepping her bounds.

However, the senior sister still saw through Lin Yitang's intention to find the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring. She smiled slightly and asked, "Junior Sister Lin, are you looking for the Yin-Yang Spirit Spring?"

Lin Yitang didn't hide anything and nodded: "Yes, I've also benefited from the spiritual spring, and I want to try my luck."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister praised, "Your thinking is quite in line with the style of disciples from the three major sects. Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead. I hope you can find your own opportunity."

After saying that, the senior sister asked again, "By the way, Junior Sister Lin, I still don't know what your real name is?"

Lin Yitang hesitated for a moment before revealing her real name: "My name is Lin Yitang."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "Then, I hope to meet again with Junior Sister Lin Yitang of the Taique Sect."

After bidding farewell to the disciples of the Tianyin Sect, Lin Yitang headed towards the location of the Yangling Spring as she remembered it.

Fortunately, this place was not far from where they had been before, and she arrived at her destination in just half an hour.

Along the way, she passed through some dangerous places. However, since she could freely use the Void-Splitting Blade, these dangers did not pose a significant problem for her.

On the contrary, her combat skills have improved somewhat.
