# Chapter 1057: Saint Source Spiritual Spring
Xiao Hei's exclamation surprised everyone, and they wondered why he was so astonished.
Sun Dadi finally couldn't stand it anymore. He pounced forward, grabbed the cat, and said, "Fat cat, what are you yelling about?"
Xiao Hei was quite displeased and said coldly, "Let go."
"No."
Sun Dadi wasn't afraid of Xiao Hei at all. He had long found the cat annoying and was ready to give him a beating.
With a *shua* sound, Xiao Hei's body rapidly shrank, becoming only the size of a mosquito. He slipped out of Sun Dadi's grasp and instead climbed onto Sun Dadi's head.
Sun Dadi cried out in pain. Two bloody cat claw marks appeared on his hands. He became somewhat enraged and said, "A mere fat cat dares to injure your Uncle Sun?"
Man and cat began to fight.
Xiao Hei was extremely fast and could grow larger or smaller, sometimes becoming as tiny as a grain of light, other times as huge as a house.
Sun Dadi, despite his profound cultivation, couldn't catch him. Instead, dozens more cat claw marks appeared on his body.
"Stop messing around!"
Zhang Ruochen separated the man and cat, then asked Xiao Hei, "That seven-grade Saint Source Spiritual Spring you mentioned—is it related to Saint Source Spiritual Liquid?"
Saint Source Spiritual Liquid was the main ingredient for refining Saint Yuan Pills, so Zhang Ruochen naturally took it very seriously.
Xiao Hei shot a glare in Sun Dadi's direction, giving him a warning look, then sat down on Zhang Ruochen's shoe and said, "The so-called Saint Source Spiritual Spring is water formed by the convergence of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid."
"Fat cat, are you bragging again? Saint Source Spiritual Liquid is extremely rare. Just a small cup can refine a Saint Yuan Pill. How could such a precious treasure form a spring?"
Sun Dadi continued, "As far as I know, when a Ruins Realm dries up, Saint Source Spiritual Qi only condenses into dewdrops on the leaves of certain spiritual herbs."
"Moreover, only the leaves of spiritual herbs can hold Saint Source Spiritual Liquid. If you use ordinary stone, wood, or jade vessels, the Saint Source Spiritual Liquid instantly loses its activity and turns into ordinary water droplets."
"When a lower-grade Ruins Realm dries up, it can produce about eight hundred to a thousand cups of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid. And that's only if you collect it very promptly. Generally, being able to collect five hundred cups is already quite good."
"With just those five hundred cups, the imperial court, ancient teachings, medieval aristocratic clans, ancient tribes, and first-rate sects all fight openly and secretly for them. It's a case of too many monks and too little porridge. If a single force can grab ten cups, that's already impressive."
Before coming to the Azure Dragon Ruins Realm, Sun Dadi had looked up some information about Saint Source Spiritual Liquid, so he naturally had some understanding of it.
Xiao Hei snorted dismissively and said, "Kid, your understanding of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid is still at a very superficial level."
Sun Dadi clenched his fists, producing cracking sounds. He always felt that fat cat was deliberately looking for trouble. If he got the chance, he would knock out its teeth.
Xiao Hei continued, "What you just said isn't wrong. But those phenomena only occur when a lower-grade Ruins Realm dries up."
"In a lower-grade Ruins Realm, at most only a small amount of third-grade Saint Source Spiritual Liquid can be produced, which can only be used to refine third-grade and below Saint Yuan Pills."
"The Azure Dragon Ruins Realm is a high-grade Ruins Realm, more than a hundred thousand times vaster than a lower-grade one. The Saint Source Spiritual Liquid it produces is naturally in massive quantities."
"Different Saint Source Spiritual Liquids have different colors. First-grade is white, second-grade is green, third-grade is blue, fourth-grade is green, fifth-grade is red, sixth-grade is purple, and seventh-grade is black."
Xiao Hei extended a claw, pointing toward the direction of the earth fissure, and said, "Look at those multicolored light mists—they are actually Saint Source Spiritual Qi."
"Collecting white light mist can condense into first-grade Saint Source Spiritual Liquid."
"Collecting green light mist can condense into second-grade Saint Source Spiritual Liquid."
"And so on. Collecting black light mist can condense into seventh-grade Saint Source Spiritual Liquid."
At this moment, none of the cultivators present could remain calm. They all showed fervent expressions, staring at the multicolored light mists floating in midair.
Even Sun Dadi and Murong Chengfeng, whose cultivation had reached the ninth-level Half-Saint realm, were no exception. Although they no longer needed to take Saint Yuan Pills to improve their cultivation, collecting some Saint Source Spiritual Liquid to bring back to the Kunlun Realm could fetch a sky-high price.
At that point, they could sell it completely and use the proceeds to buy sacred pills that could help them break through to the Saint realm.
"What are we waiting for? Hurry up and collect it. Once the Saint Source Spiritual Qi falls to the ground, it loses its activity."
Sun Dadi was extremely excited. He immediately took out dozens of spiritual herb leaves he had prepared long ago and spread them on the ground to catch the Saint Source Spiritual Qi.
The Grand Minister of Works licked his lips. He was also tempted, but after searching through his monk's robe, he couldn't find a single spiritual herb leaf.
The Grand Minister of Works had dug up a large number of spiritual herbs in the Sikong Meditation Courtyard, but those herbs had long been sold and exchanged for spirit crystals.
"A miscalculation!"
At this moment, the Grand Minister of Works was full of regret, constantly sighing.
The others were also very tempted. They immediately took out all the spiritual herbs they had, plucked the leaves, and placed them on the ground to start collecting Saint Source Spiritual Liquid.
Before long, Sun Dadi let out a wild laugh: "The first drop of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid has condensed!"
On the ground, a palm-sized spiritual herb leaf was emitting multicolored mist.
The leaf gradually became moist, and a full dewdrop appeared, emitting a crystal-clear luster.
Sun Dadi immediately took out a gourd and carefully poured the first drop of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid into it.
Then he placed the spiritual herb leaf back on the ground to continue collecting Saint Source Spiritual Qi.
Sun Dadi's gourd was also picked from a spiritual herb and could be used to store Saint Source Spiritual Liquid.
The area where Zhang Ruochen and the others were located was very close to the earth fissure, only about a dozen miles away, so the Saint Source Spiritual Qi in the air was very dense.
In just half an hour, Sun Dadi had already collected dozens of drops of Saint Source Spiritual Liquid, nearly enough for a small cup.
The Grand Minister of Works stared at Sun Dadi's gourd, rubbing his fingers together again and again. His eyes were burning with desire, and he very much wanted to snatch it away.
Those savage beasts also sensed the value of the Saint Source Spiritual Qi and immediately rushed toward the earth fissure, also taking out spiritual herb leaves to collect it with all their might.
Some savage beasts stood at the edge of the earth fissure, opening their mouths and noses to directly absorb the Saint Source Spiritual Qi into their stomachs.
Human cultivators couldn't directly digest Saint Source Spiritual Qi, but some powerful divine beast descendants or ancient relics could refine it with their strong physiques.
For them, absorbing Saint Source Spiritual Qi not only improved their cultivation but also promoted the transformation of their physical bodies.
Lower-level savage beasts could transform into higher-level ones.
The more Saint Source Spiritual Qi they absorbed, the greater the transformation.
Some fourth-level savage beasts could even advance to seventh-level, becoming kings among savage beasts.
The cultivators in Yingsha City were in an uproar. None of them could remain calm. They wanted to rush out of the base and compete for the Saint Source Spiritual Qi.
However, Yingsha City was very far from the earth fissure. Even if some Saint Source Spiritual Qi drifted over, it became very thin and couldn't condense into liquid.
But the Devouring Demon Dragon revealed its true form, turning into a dragon dozens of miles long and coiling outside Yingsha City, not giving them any chance to leave the city.
"A seventh-grade Saint Source Spiritual Spring is about to appear. Once the twelve savage beast tribes get it, fourth-level savage beasts can transform into fifth-level, and fifth-level into sixth-level. Their strength will increase many times over. Then we'll have even less chance of breaking out."
"Even if we rush out of the city now, it's still a dead end."
"Even fighting within the city, we've suffered heavy losses. Going out to fight is like throwing an egg against a rock."
The Devouring Demon Dragon's combat power was terrifying. It had left a shadow in the hearts of all human cultivators. No one wasn't afraid to fight it.
Now, only a large amount of Saint Source Spiritual Qi was surging out of the earth fissure. It could be imagined that soon, a large amount of Saint Source Spiritual Spring would gush out. That was true heavenly material and earthly treasure, something even Saints would fight over crazily.
Thinking that those Saint Source Spiritual Springs would be consumed by savage beasts, all the human cultivators felt heartache but were helpless.
Inside the concealment formation, Sun Dadi was happily collecting Saint Source Spiritual Qi, completely in a state of excitement.
The Grand Minister of Works was red-eyed with anxiety. He finally couldn't hold back anymore. He walked over and reached out a big hand, trying to take Sun Dadi's gourd.
Sun Dadi was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He immediately hid the gourd behind his back and shouted, "Monk, what are you doing?"
The Grand Minister of Works felt a bit embarrassed inside, but he still said righteously, "What are you nervous about? This poor monk just wants to take a look."
But Sun Dadi didn't believe the Grand Minister of Works at all. He was worried inside. If that big monk really tried to snatch it, he probably couldn't win.
Sun Dadi looked at Zhang Ruochen, wanting him to keep the gourd safe.
Zhang Ruochen saw Sun Dadi's concern. He just smiled and said, "Everyone, don't harm our harmony over a little Saint Source Spiritual Liquid. From now on, I'll do the collecting, and everyone will get a share."
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Ruochen, wondering what method he would use to collect the Saint Source Spiritual Liquid.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Ruochen took out the Cosmic Divine Wood Map. Then, the scroll unfolded, and around it, space emitted subtle fluctuations.
"Whoosh—"
Immediately after, a huge branch rushed out, hovering above everyone's heads, emitting a sacred power.
That was a branch of the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree. Each leaf was as big as a winnowing basket, completely covering the space within the concealment formation.
"My goodness..."
Sun Dadi swallowed hard, staring at the divine tree above, and said, "Just how huge a spiritual herb is this? Boss Gu, you don't have a sacred herb, do you?"
Everyone present who had entered the Scroll World stared at the leaves above, all showing reverence.
Because they had all received tremendous benefits from the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree.
The life aura emitted by the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree had enhanced their life physiques by who knows how many times. Moreover, without the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree, their cultivation speed in the Scroll World wouldn't have been so fast.
Cultivating beneath the divine tree, even just breathing in once was like swallowing a spirit pill.
Soon, a large amount of multicolored Saint Source Spiritual Liquid condensed on the leaves of the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree, sliding down from the edges of the leaves.
"Help me refine a sixth-grade Saint Yuan Pill. Before the Saint Source Spiritual Spring appears, I must break through to the sixth-level Half-Saint realm."
Zhang Ruochen clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Hei, his expression very serious.
Zhang Ruochen was also very interested in the Saint Source Spiritual Spring that was about to appear. However, at his current realm, competing with those beast kings was clearly still somewhat beyond his ability.
But once he broke through to the sixth-level Half-Saint realm, Zhang Ruochen would surely greatly increase his strength, and his combat power would reach a new height.
