Chapter 19: A Lucky Guy?

What Isaiah Thomas said was very simple, yet it sounded like a legend…

To put it simply, not long ago—somewhere between two and three months ago—Isaiah Thomas went hunting in the mountains. During his trip, he happened to save a Sumedli Eye Monkey that had been caught in a hunter’s net. To be honest, these little creatures were usually very clever, so it was hard to imagine how it ever got caught, but regardless, Isaiah Thomas saved the monkey.

As it happened in typical novels, the little monkey seemed to want to return the favor and led Isaiah Thomas to a certain place…

“Ha~~ I get it! You must have found some kind of thousand-year spiritual fruit in a cave or a hidden valley!” hearing this, Snow shouted with jealousy. He was convinced he was right, because wasn’t that how it always happened in knight novels?

However, Isaiah Thomas shook his head in surprise. “No, it wasn’t a cave or a hidden valley, and I didn’t find any spiritual fruit. The place the little monkey led me to was… it was a hot spring.”

“A hot spring?!” Everyone gasped in surprise. Who could have expected such an answer? This was ridiculous! What kind of legendary encounter was a hot spring? In knight novels, shouldn’t the encounter be with heavenly treasures or ten-thousand-year rarities?

“The water in that spring was very warm, but it wasn’t scalding hot. It was a very comfortable warmth…” Isaiah Thomas seemed not to notice the dismissive expressions of the others. He looked as if he had fallen into a memory, and his gaze became somewhat dreamy. “…Well, how should I put it? It felt as if my entire body was being nourished by a warm current. Even the depths of my blood and bone marrow felt the warm current flowing back and forth. It was truly wonderful. I eventually fell asleep while soaking in it.”

He fell asleep?! The people around him were speechless. To fall asleep while soaking in a hot spring—wasn’t he afraid of drowning? But then they thought about it and felt dissatisfied. What kind of legendary encounter was this? Soaking in a hot spring counted as a miracle? This didn’t even seem like a strange event!!

But just then, Isaiah Thomas continued, “But the strange thing was… when I woke up, that hot spring and the warm currents were all gone. I was lying under a big tree. If I hadn’t been naked, I would have really thought I was dreaming!!”

When they heard Isaiah Thomas say “the strange thing was,” everyone pricked up their ears. But after he finished, they only looked at each other in confusion. The hot spring had just vanished into thin air? There was no proof left?

This… wasn’t he just lying to them?!

Immediately, Snow spoke up sourly, “Isaiah, is this for real? In the end, everything just vanished? Just like that? You aren’t just trying to trick us because you’re worried we’ll try to steal your benefits, are you!” Snow had performed the worst today, so his reaction was the most intense. The envy and jealousy in his voice could be felt from far away.

Hearing this, Isaiah Thomas’s expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, Old Strom, who had been standing aside as if thinking about something, suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. He snapped his head up and asked urgently, “Wait, Isaiah… you just said the temperature of the spring wasn’t too hot, but you felt warm currents flowing through your blood and the depths of your bone marrow, and it was very comfortable?”

Isaiah Thomas nodded, not quite understanding why, and said, “Yes, Old Strom. The feeling at the time was truly wonderful. Why? Do you have some clue…”

But this time, Old Strom seemed not to hear Isaiah Thomas’s question. He lowered his head and muttered to himself, “Warm currents, temperature, blood, bone marrow… Could it be… could it be…”

Seeing Old Strom like this, Luo Pei, who had also been confused, suddenly seemed to think of something. He shuddered violently and looked at the two people opposite him with a face full of surprise, blurting out, “Could it be that?!”

As he spoke, he and Old Strom locked eyes. Both of them said at the same time with disbelief, “Could it really be… could it really be…”

[Stop saying “could it be”! With such obvious characteristics, it must be an Elemental Spring!!]

The two of them still looked as if they couldn’t believe it, failing to notice that Luo Yan was rolling his eyes in annoyance over there. Unlike the overreactions of Luo Pei and Old Strom, the moment Luo Yan heard Isaiah Thomas mention the hot spring, he immediately realized that he must have encountered an Elemental Spring.

Ahhh~~ this incredibly lucky side character!!

…

The Elemental Spring was the most miraculous creation of nature on the Amelia Continent, without a doubt…

…

According to the research of the Mages Guild, various Magic Elements generally existed in space in an ionic state, but they would instinctively aggregate and eventually appear in a solid form. These were the various magic crystals and the Magic Cores of Magic Beasts. The ionic state and solid state were the two most common forms of Magic Elements.

However, in some special circumstances, the process of Magic Elements aggregating into a solid would be interrupted, resulting in a liquid state. People still had not figured out exactly what the conditions were for Magic Elements to form a liquid. As for the gaseous structure of Magic Elements, it was generally believed not to exist, though some believed it did but was simply difficult to preserve. This point had been debated for thousands of years and looked as if it would continue to be debated.

[Magic Elements that appear in a liquid state are the legendary “Elemental Springs”…]

After listening to Isaiah Thomas’s story, Luo Yan suddenly felt that he was like a protagonist from a legendary novel, possessing an absurd level of luck that could make others break down. Never mind the other hunting team members, even as a reincarnator, Luo Yan couldn’t help but feel a surge of envy and jealousy in his heart.

Unlike other heavenly treasures with many functions and wide uses, the Elemental Spring, hailed as the most miraculous creation on the Amelia Continent, had only one effect: improving the physical constitution!

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person only needed to drink three to five cups of water from an Elemental Spring to completely change their constitution, or even directly trigger a Battle Aura constitution. But Isaiah Thomas had not only drunk his fill but had actually taken a comfortable nap soaking in the Elemental Spring. No wonder he directly triggered the Moonlight Battle Aura… Thinking of this, Luo Pei felt like he was going crazy.

That was the Elemental Spring that could remake a person’s entire body!! That incredibly lucky bastard!!
