Chapter 294 Are You Blessing Me?
After another day had passed, Lachlan’s injuries had finally healed by thirty percent under the nourishment of dragon energy!
Although his strength had not yet returned to its peak state, he could at least use the Dragon Soul Immortal Technique again. So, aside from picking up Nora and Miranda, he began to practice tirelessly day and night.
He wanted to improve his strength before Hawkeye Ghost came looking for him again. During this time, he absorbed all of the hundred-year medicinal herbs that were given to him by the Graham family and some medicinal materials that Emerson found when selling Nourishing Essence Pills.
However, the results were minimal!
As time passed day by day, Lachlan’s heart sank lower and lower. He knew that without enough resources for cultivation, it was almost impossible to reach a level where he could compete with Hawkeye Ghost within seven days!
One morning after dropping off Miranda at work, Lachlan took a bus alone to an old house in the countryside. There were only three days left until their seven-day agreement was up.
Despite practicing frantically these past few days, his strength did not improve much. Even now he still hadn’t fully recovered from his previous injuries!
“The seven-day deadline is almost here; am I doomed this time?” Lachlan muttered helplessly as he looked at the old house in front of him.
Lachlan knew very well that he didn’t have any powerful background or anyone else on whom he could rely on. Perhaps it was because of his attachment and nostalgia in his heart that made him want to go back and visit this old house once more before facing what seemed like certain death.
To feel once again the breath left behind by his parents or look at their belongings they left behind…
In his heart, Lachlan had already worked out a plan. On the last day of the seven-day agreement, if he hadn’t found a breakthrough, he would call Emerson back. He planned to transfer all his current assets to Emerson and entrust Nora to him, asking him to take his daughter away from Edoland.
Lachlan still found Emerson a trustworthy person at the moment. As for Miranda, he was determined to forcefully dissolve the marriage, hoping that Hawkeye Ghost wouldn’t get involved with her.
Taking a deep breath, Lachlan pushed open the door of the old house. As he looked at the familiar courtyard and breathed in the much fresher air compared to the city, it seemed like Lachlan had returned to his childhood.
“Hmm? What is this…”
“Such a strong spiritual energy!”
In the next moment, Lachlan’s eyes widened and his face showed a strong sense of surprise.
His gaze was fixed on the old well in the courtyard!
He turned around and locked the door behind him, then walked quickly towards the old well with a hint of excitement.
Last time when he came to clean up the old house with Mason and others, Lachlan did not find anything unusual about this old well.
However, at this moment, he felt that there was a surge of rich spiritual energy below through the thick green stone covering the well.
“Why didn’t I notice it last time?” Lachlan muttered to himself inwardly!
What he didn’t know was that when he fought against Butch Ghost and was attacked by his soul, after Dragon Ancestor’s soul devoured that evil spirit, it not only restored its own trace of elemental power but also replenished Lachlan’s mental strength.
Because his mental strength had become much stronger than before, he discovered this abnormality in this old well!
It must be said that everything seemed predetermined in some way!
Boom boom boom!
After Lachlan arrived here, he directly lifted up the heavy green stone covering over the mouth of the well.
This stone weighed almost 500 kg, which seemed like no ordinary rock. This thing pressed down on top of the mouth of the well; an average person could never move it.
As far as Lachlan could remember since childhood memories until now, this old well had always been covered up.
Because this piece of stone was too heavy and there was tap water at home, nobody ever thought about moving such a huge rock away from here.
Unexpectedly though underneath such huge boulder lay another world!
Hoo…
When Lachlan lifted off this huge boulder for an instant, he felt a refreshing cool breeze blowing towards him. After taking in one breath, his whole body suddenly felt refreshed! Spiritual Energy! Such dense Spiritual Energy!
Lying down on top looking downwards into 20 meters deep bottomless pit; Lachlan saw something like “well water”.
However, Lachlan could tell right away that what appeared to be “well water” wasn’t actually water but rather formed by accumulated spiritual energy, a “Spirit Spring” ah!
In an instant, Lachlan greedily took another deep breath, and then reached out his hand towards that piece of stone.
The whole person jumped into this ancient Well while once again covering back over with heavy green stone.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Plop!
Lachlan landed at bottom inside Spirit Spring making only light sound.
This bit Spirit Spring didn’t look like much; even standing there Lachlan’s knees were still above surface level.
However, this was completely condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transformed into liquid form.
Even if it was just a drop, the spiritual energy contained within was comparable to the Heavenly Spirit Jade that was previously the size of a palm.
“There’s always a way out! There’s always a way out! Hahaha…” Lachlan sat cross-legged in the spirit spring, his face filled with excitement and joy.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but think to himself: Mom and Dad, are you watching over me from beyond?
If Lachlan wasn’t so sentimental and didn’t want to visit his old house one last time before “dying”, he wouldn’t have dreamed that there would be such a spirit spring in his old home.
Everything in this world seemed to have its own cause and effect!
“With this spirit spring, can I break through to Core Formation Realm with one fell swoop?” Lachlan was full of expectations inside.
The next second, he took a deep breath and calmed down. He began practicing Dragon Soul Immortal Technique.
The pure spiritual energy contained within the spirit spring flowed into his body like rivers as he breathed. Then it merged with the dragon energy surging from his left kidney area and transformed into true dragon energy which circulated rapidly within him!
Lachlan could feel that all injuries lingering inside him were healing at an observable speed. After they were completely healed up, his strength finally began steadily increasing!
Lachlan sat cross-legged at the bottom of the well like someone who was starving for food or thirsty for water while practicing without feeling any sense of time passing outside.
In just an instant, a whole day plus night had passed by but Lachlan hadn’t even realized it!
Early on day two…
Nora sat in the living room. She saw Lina preparing breakfast while Miranda accompanied her eating together instead.
Yesterday evening, Lachlan didn’t pick up Nora from kindergarten. The teacher sent her back home at Emerald Green Estates instead.
Nora was clever enough to call Miranda after she got home last night.
Last night, Miranda spent all night accompanying Nora.
“Miranda, where’s my dad? Why hasn’t my dad come back since yesterday?” At mealtime, Nora looked anxious!
