Sheng Rao noticed something strange. She calmly checked Lin Yu's physical condition, but found that there was nothing unusual except for the slight sweat on his forehead and a slightly tired look.

Lin Yu himself did not seem to notice anything wrong. He just breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master, we succeeded."

Although Sheng Rao had some doubts in her heart, now was not the time to delve into them. She nodded and signaled everyone to move forward and explore this newly discovered area.

As the restrictions were lifted, a more intense spiritual energy came over, refreshing people's spirits. It seemed that the most precious treasure in the secret realm was hidden here.

When everyone stepped into this mysterious land, they saw all kinds of unheard-of exotic flowers and plants growing all around. The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. It was obvious that this was a natural medicinal garden.

What is even more amazing is that in the center of the medicine garden, there is a magical spring. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom, and there is a magical light flashing on the surface from time to time, as if it contains endless vitality and power.

"This is the Eye of the Spiritual Spring." Sheng Rao's eyes were bright. She knew very well the significance of the spiritual spring to practitioners. It could not only speed up the practice, but also purify impurities in the body and improve cultivation. It was a good thing.

Sheng Rao immediately ordered his disciples to carefully collect the spiritual herbs around them, while he himself walked towards the spiritual spring to get some spiritual spring water for later use.

Just as Sheng Rao was about to reach out and touch the spiritual spring, Lin Yu suddenly grabbed her sleeve and whispered, "Master, be careful, there may be unknown mechanisms or guardian beasts around this spiritual spring."

Sheng Rao felt warm at heart when she heard that, and the look she gave Lin Yu became even softer.

This young man always stayed sober and cautious at critical moments, which made her heart tremble.

Sheng Rao smiled slightly, patted the back of Lin Yu's hand to comfort him, then released her spiritual power and slowly explored the situation around the spiritual spring.

Sure enough, as Lin Yu said, there seemed to be a powerful spiritual power fluctuation hidden under the spiritual spring, but no signs of life were found.

Sheng Rao had an idea in mind. She stretched out her hand, released spiritual power from her fingertips, and carefully guided the flow of water in the spiritual spring to avoid triggering possible mechanisms.

After some effort, Sheng Rao successfully took out clear spiritual spring water from the spiritual spring and brought it into her own space.

Lin Yu stood guard silently by the side, always alert to the movements around him.

Everyone has gotten what they wanted.

Just as they were about to leave the area, a low humming sound suddenly sounded, and then the ground began to shake slightly, as if some huge monster was waking up.

Sheng Rao and Lin Yu looked at each other. This should be because the spiritual beast guarding the spiritual spring was alarmed.

"Prepare for battle!" Sheng Rao responded quickly. She released powerful spiritual power to protect the disciples behind her, while vigilantly observing the surroundings. Lin Yu followed closely behind, clenching his fists, with a determined light in his eyes, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

As the vibrations intensified, a huge spiritual beast slowly rose from the spiritual spring. Its body was covered with scales that gleamed with metallic luster, its eyes were like torches, and it had an imposing aura.

This spiritual beast looks like a dragon or snake, but has four legs. A strange pattern on its forehead seems to contain ancient power. It roars towards the sky, and the sound waves make the air around it tremble.

Sheng Rao frowned, this was trouble, this thing was not easy to deal with.

"This is the 'Spiritual Dragon', a magical beast that is said to guard the spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. It is extremely powerful and intelligent." Sheng Rao explained to her disciples in a low voice. At the same time, she was secretly alert in her heart. Such an opponent should not be underestimated.

The spirit dragon circled in the air, and the shadow cast by its huge body covered everyone. It did not seem to launch an attack immediately, but instead examined the group of uninvited guests with its deep eyes.

Sheng Rao knew that the spirit beast was evaluating its opponent and deciding whether it was worth fighting.

"We have no intention of offending you, we just need some spiritual spring water for our cultivation." Sheng Rao tried her best to make her voice sound calm and sincere. She attempted to communicate with the spiritual dragon, hoping to avoid unnecessary conflict.

There are many disciples in the sect, but most of them have low cultivation bases. If a fight breaks out, she won't be able to free up her hands to protect them.

However, the spirit dragon did not seem to appreciate it. It let out a deafening roar, and then its body flashed, turning into a silver lightning and swooped straight towards Sheng Rao. Its speed was so fast that it was astonishing.

Sheng Rao stretched out her body and dodged the spirit dragon's first attack like a light swallow. At the same time, she formed seals with her hands, and her spiritual energy surged, preparing to cast a powerful defensive spell. The disciples also took out their magic weapons and were ready for battle.

"Lin Yu, lead the others to retreat, and leave this to me." Sheng Rao gave orders to Lin Yu while dealing with the attack of the spiritual dragon.

They would only be a burden to her here.

Although Lin Yu was worried, he also understood that it was most important to obey his master's arrangements at the moment. He quickly organized his disciples to retreat to a safe area. At the same time, he kept a close eye on the battlefield, ready to provide support at any time.

Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu also sensed the power of the spiritual dragon. They had already hidden aside. Facing the powerful spiritual dragon, they could not defeat it and they also cherished their lives.

Therefore, they would rather let Sheng Rao fight alone than help. After all, Qin Yi and Ning Suqiu both hoped that Sheng Rao would die at the feet of the spiritual dragon.

The battle between Sheng Rao and the spirit dragon was extremely fierce. Every attack of the spirit dragon contained the power to destroy the world, but Sheng Rao resolved them one by one with her exquisite body skills and powerful spiritual power.

Sheng Rao and Ling Jiao fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to resolve.

As time went by, Sheng Rao gradually discovered that although the spiritual dragon was powerful, it did not seem to be good at protracted battles.

Every attack of the spiritual dragon consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, so Sheng Rao wanted to delay it to death.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, Sheng Rao seized the opportunity, slapped out with one palm, and the powerful spiritual power turned into a sharp water sword, directly hitting the vital point of the spirit dragon.

The spirit dragon suddenly let out a shrill scream, and its huge body rolled several times in the air before falling heavily to the ground.

The defeat of the spiritual dragon did not immediately calm the turmoil. Although its huge body was no longer moving, the spiritual power fluctuations in the surrounding air still did not dissipate, as if telling of its former glory and indomitable spirit.

Sheng Rao did not go forward to check immediately, but kept a cautious distance. At the same time, she released her spiritual power and carefully explored the surroundings in case the spiritual dragon had any backup plans or other unknown dangers were lurking.

“Senior Sister, is it… is it dead?” a disciple asked timidly, with fear and curiosity in his eyes.

"No, everyone hurry up and evacuate!" Sheng Rao said in a serious voice.

The spiritual dragon has only temporarily lost its combat effectiveness. Once it recovers, everyone will still be in danger, so it is not advisable to stay here for long.
