Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 326: Life Pool

As soon as he stepped into the room, Li Zhi looked around. What he saw were furnishings that could not be more ordinary. The walls were made of simple bricks and stones, and the floor was paved with ordinary stone slabs. There were a few old tables and chairs in the room. Apart from that, there was nothing special.

Moreover, there was not a single figure in the huge room. It was so quiet that it was a little eerie, as if it was a forgotten corner.

What was even more bizarre was that when he was outside just now, the pale and skinny arm that stretched out from the window, looking back now, seemed as if it had come from another time and space, forming a sharp contrast with the bland scene inside the house, making Li Zhi feel that this place was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Li Zhi was curious and couldn't help looking around the room.

"Let's go."

At this moment, Situ Han greeted Li Zhi and then walked straight to the shelf beside him.

I saw him standing in front of the shelf, fiddling with it with his hands for a few times. I didn't know how he operated it exactly, but the shelf slowly opened, like a door hiding a secret being quietly pushed open, and a passage was revealed on the back of the shelf.

Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought to himself, it seems that the Night Patrol is quite keen on creating this kind of hidden passage. It seems that this is another place with secrets. I don't know what is behind this passage.

With such curiosity and doubt, Li Zhi followed Situ Han closely all the way and walked slowly along the passage.

The light in the passage was dim, with only a few faint luminous pearls inlaid on the wall at intervals, barely illuminating the way under one's feet.

Soon, they passed through the passage and came to a place.

It looked quite dark and cramped here, and the space was not very spacious. However, even in such a limited space, a team of a hundred people was crammed in. The scene was truly spectacular yet somewhat depressing.

I saw that everyone in this team was wearing light armor, which glowed faintly coldly under the dim light.

These people exuded an extremely strong and murderous aura, as if they had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Just standing there, people could feel an invisible sense of oppression.

Li Zhi only took a quick glance and knew what was going on. He knew that these people were all experienced masters. The sharpness in their eyes and the aura they exuded were not comparable to those of ordinary soldiers.

At this moment, a person who looked like the leader of the team quickly walked towards Situ Han.

Situ Han nodded slightly towards the man and said politely, "Sorry to bother you, Captain Yang."

There was no change in the expression on Captain Yang's face, he still looked cold and serious. He just nodded quietly and then waved gently to the people behind him.

The soldiers behind him were well-trained and immediately moved in unison to make way for a path. At the other end of the path, a stone chamber appeared.

Situ Han turned around and said to Li Zhi: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he walked towards the stone chamber.

Li Zhi hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked into the stone chamber together.

As soon as he stepped into the stone chamber, Li Zhi felt a very strong vitality coming towards him. The vitality seemed to be a tangible thing, which instantly enveloped him, making his whole body invigorated and his spirits lifted.

Li Zhi looked carefully and saw that there was a pond like a bathing pool in this stone chamber. The pond was neither big nor small and was rectangular in shape. The stone walls around it looked quite smooth, as if they had been carefully polished.

The water in the entire pond is a strange milky white color and is filled with surging vitality.

Li Zhi stared at Situ Han with eyes wide open, his face full of astonishment, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Situ, where is this?"

Situ Han looked at Li Zhi's surprised expression, smiled slightly, and said calmly: "This is the Life Pool."

When Li Zhi heard the name, his eyes flashed slightly. To be honest, he didn't really know what this vitality pool was. However, he could roughly imagine the function of this vitality pool from the name and the scene he saw before him.

Situ Han lowered his voice, his expression became serious, and whispered: "This was originally built for the emperor, but the emperor can no longer use it. However, there is still a lot of vitality left in this vitality pool. The chief minister felt that it would be a pity to destroy it directly, so he decided to preserve it."

Li Zhi was a smart person. After a little thought, he instantly figured out the reason in his mind.

At that time, the emperor was seriously ill, but he was still able to handle the affairs of state. I think it was because he relied on the tremendous vitality contained in this vitality pool to nourish himself.

However, after the negative energy in the emperor's body was removed and completely cured by the Fu Yang Pill refined by Master Liu, the emperor's body recovered its health. Naturally, this vitality pool that was originally built specifically for him lost its value to the emperor.

But for the Yeyou Division, it would be such a waste if such a place full of vitality was just abandoned or even destroyed.

After all, the vitality in this vitality pool is a rare and precious resource, and it is an excellent resource for healing and cultivation.

Therefore, this vitality pool was preserved.

At this time, Situ Han continued, "The chief minister knows that I have always been weak, so he allowed me to use this vitality pool to restore my vitality and recuperate."

When Li Zhi heard what Situ Han said, he immediately understood the purpose of Situ Han bringing him here.

This made Li Zhi feel deeply confused. He couldn't understand why Situ Han was so nice to him.

He subconsciously opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but for a moment, he felt as if his throat was blocked by something and he couldn't utter anything. He just stood there in a daze with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing Li Zhi's complicated expression, Situ Han reached out his hand, gently patted Li Zhi's shoulder, and said, "This vitality pool has not been replenished with new vitality since the emperor stopped using it. If the existing vitality in it is left idle, it will gradually dissipate over time. Who knows, the next time you come to the capital, the vitality in the vitality pool may have been exhausted and no longer exist. I brought you here this time to avoid wasting it, so don't think too much."

After hearing this, Li Zhi still did not speak, but bowed deeply to Situ Han with a solemn face.

Although Li Zhi's liver wood has begun to recover now, the previously damaged vitality will slowly be replenished after the liver wood fully awakens.

But if we could replenish it with the surging vitality in this vitality pool, the effect would be completely different.

Not only can your previously damaged vitality be repaired to a great extent, but it may also allow your liver wood to fully recover faster.

Moreover, Li Zhi also knew in his heart that places like this had strict usage permissions and it was definitely not something that someone of his level could come in casually.

But for his sake, Situ Han brought him here without hesitation. This favor was truly great.

If we also take into account the incident when Situ Han gave Li Zhi the Fire Stone in the treasury, all in all, Situ Han has done Li Zhi two great favors that affected his survival.

This made Li Zhi's feelings towards Situ Han become somewhat complicated.

Although Li Zhi had always felt that Situ Han had bad intentions, and thought that there might be some ulterior motives behind his seemingly friendly actions.

But now, Situ Han gave him all these good things one after another, making it difficult for Li Zhi to have any negative emotions towards Situ Han.
