Sea Fire Patrol Array
Zhao Chai'er had only recently learned the art of horsemanship, and he was extremely bad at it, causing the carriage and horses to lurch about.
Yan Huanyue rarely needed to drive herself, so her horsemanship was only so-so, though she was a little better than Zhao Chai'er.
She took the reins from Zhao Chai'er and drove the carriage toward the nearby town.
Zhao Chai'er rubbed her hands, which were sore from the reins, and smiled somewhat embarrassedly. "Madam Yan, I heard them say that it's your sect's turn to patrol the Tianqian starting this year?"
Yan Huanyue nodded and said, "That's right."
Zhao Chai'er asked, "If we go to the old Tengzhou, what kind of medicine will we need? My mother-in-law's family started out by trading medicinal herbs, and they are all righteous people. They give away medicine to the local area three times a year. Recently, they have been talking about sending medicine to the north. However, we don't have much knowledge about medicine, and we are afraid that sending some useless medicine will only cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Yan Huanyue made a hand seal and bowed towards the distance, saying, "I truly admire your father's kind and righteous act."
He then put away the imperial horse and said, "The sect's medicines are still sufficient. If needed, we will issue procurement notices to various places. You should focus on your own work now. When the world is at peace, the granaries are full of medicines and food, and all the work continues without interruption, the sect will have no worries. This will be a great achievement."
Zhao Chai'er smiled and said, "That sounds familiar. Most of the people in the sect that my mother-in-law asked said the same thing."
He was a sojourner in Yongfeng and had never seen a familiar face. Now, gazing up at the lonely moon, with his savior beside him, he felt a surge of emotion.
"Madam, you should know, when I was a child, I especially looked forward to those 'immortals' from the sect coming to help with farming every spring and autumn. Our Mingyu City is located in the jurisdiction of Shendumen."
"By the way, do you know a girl in Shen Du Men whose name contains the character 'Feng'? She's the one who uses a bow and arrow, the one who's a bit straightforward, much older than me, but she gets along really well with us."
Yan Huanyue said, "Fellow Daoist Lin Xiaofeng of the Divine Capital Sect?"
Zhao Chai'er looked up at the moon and thought for a while. "It seems to be that name. Although it has 'maple' in its name, when it first came to our area, it mistook a soapberry tree for a maple tree. Later, it even flew up to the tree to help us pick bodhi fruits to make beads. There was also a girl surnamed Tan. Do you know her?"
Yan Huanyue asked, "Fellow Daoist Tan Guiyi?"
Zhao Chai'er first shook her head, then suddenly realized and said, "I don't know her exact name, but it could be her. One year, when the young lady Feng came to do spring plowing, she rescued a girl from a pool of water in our area. It was said that the girl was abandoned by her parents and thrown into the pool to drown. It was said that she had spiritual roots, so she was later taken away by the people of Shendumen."
Yan Huanyue knew about this, and continued to ask, "Is she from your area? Is her surname Tan, or is 'Tan' a surname?"
Zhao Chai'er shook her head. "I don't know about that. I only heard the immortals from Shendu who came to do spring plowing that year talk about that 'Junior Sister Tan.' I heard that she was brought from another place and abandoned. She was young and frightened. She couldn't say where she was from. She sounded pitiful."
Yan Huanyue nodded. She wasn't strong enough to overpower the horse, and driving the carriage was more tiring than practicing swordsmanship. So she threw another pill at the horse and said calmly, "I see."
Looking at the lights in the distance, Zhao Chai'er cupped her hands and said, "I am truly grateful for Madam Yan's help today, and for escorting me all the way."
Yan Huanyue shook her head. "It's nothing. You don't need to call me that anymore. Just call me Yan Huanyue. I happen to be looking for lodging here, so I can ride in your carriage."
Seeing that she was also struggling to drive the carriage, Zhao Chai'er knew that she could have used a sword. She was only struggling with the horse in order to help him drive the carriage to the small town in the middle of the night so that he could drive home the next day.
She wouldn't admit it, and Zhao Chai'er didn't press the matter further, only saying, "That's perfect. Let's go to that small town. I'll treat you to a meal. Please don't refuse, or I'll really feel bad."
The night breeze ruffled her hair. Yan Huanyue replied calmly and politely, "Thank you, but I need to meditate and rest. Let's have a simple meal."
Zhao Chai'er laughed and said, "Why do you need to save money for me? I'm not the penniless playboy I used to be. I've married into a good family, and everyone treats me well. My wife was recently diagnosed with pregnancy."
Yan Huanyue turned her head to look at his smiling face and said with a light smile, "If that's the case, it seems that the person with malicious intentions wants to harm more than just you. I will give you the Tianyan Sect's token to explain the cause of this person's death. After you go back, you should discuss with your family how to deal with a group of people."
Zhao Chai'er's expression became much more serious. "In the past, I only envied the rich, but I didn't know that there were so many shady dealings and troubles involved. My family is only considered a moderately well-off family, yet I was able to bring such a deadly disaster upon myself. I really don't know how those great families manage to live peacefully."
Yan Huanyue sat on the wooden shaft, leaning against the carriage, looking up at the small town that was getting closer and closer. A wisp of night breeze touched her lips as she said softly, "I'm not familiar with it either."
In the private room of the restaurant, Yu Yi pulled out a high chair and invited Yu Nian to sit down.
This is a lacquered wooden table, only about an arm's length wide for an adult, with bowls and plates on it that are half the size of commonly used ones.
On either side of Yu Nian were two rows of short tables for set meals, the same size as the one she was sitting on.
Yu Nian raised her hand, and Yu Yi sat down to her right.
Yu Nian raised her teacup, first offering a toast to the instructor to her lower left, then to everyone else, and said:
"These past few days have been filled with hard work and we have been fortunate to receive your help in everything. This trip to deliver goods to the old Tengzhou is not only a matter for the Yu family, but also a great service to you all. However, I am currently preoccupied with important matters and cannot drink alcohol. I will use tea instead of wine. When we successfully escort the goods back to Yunjing, we will hold a banquet to celebrate with you all."
Someone took the lead in retorting, "This is what we members of the Yu family should do. We are so honored by your high regard and kindness, young lady, we will certainly serve you with utmost loyalty."
Yu Nian waved her hand and laughed, "Brother Liu, don't be so polite with me. We're all family, why are you being so formal? We still have to travel tomorrow, so let's not keep being so polite. Everyone, let's start eating and get some rest."
Someone else said, "I just heard that the patriarch's new concubine is several months pregnant. This matter was kept very secret in the past, but the news has only recently come out. I wonder what our Fifth Master's plans are..."
Yu Nian frowned slightly. Seeing this, the instructor put down his chopsticks and said, "Wen Xing, is it our place to pry into the family head's private affairs?"
Upon hearing this, the woman named Wen Xing stood up, made a hand seal, and bowed, saying, "Master, I, Wen Xing, am not afraid of being punished. The twelfth young master was ruined at a young age, and it is only reasonable for the patriarch to want another son to inherit the family business. I just don't understand, since all the branches of the family are loyal to the patriarch, who is the patriarch guarding against by acting like this? The Yu family of Yun Jing is one family. Even I, an outsider, cannot stand the eldest branch treating the other branches like thieves."
Yu Yi smiled bitterly and said, "What can we do? I don't understand either. We are loyal and devoted to our duties. If the head of the family has any more children, we will swear to serve him to the death. Why make it seem like someone has rebellious intentions? I'm not afraid to tell you all that I've been having nightmares lately."
Yu Nian said, "Alright, Twelfth Brother has been bedridden for a long time. The fact that the Patriarch can turn his sorrow into joy and have another son is good news for Yunjing in the long run."
Although she spoke sincerely, everyone present had subtle expressions, and several almost couldn't help but laugh.
“We will just do our own job and the head of the family will make the right decision.”
Another member of the Yu clan muttered, "What if the patriarch doesn't understand?"
Yu Nian was slender and short, with small limbs, but she exuded a restrained, humble, and profound aura. Upon hearing this, she slightly raised her eyes, carrying a sense of pressure, "The eldest son's branch has always been the most respected. What right do we have to question whether things are right or wrong?"
Wen Xing said, "Respecting the eldest son is the way to avoid chaos. If the eldest son understands this, he will naturally be respected. However, if the eldest son does not understand this, should we just let him bully and tyrannize, ruining the family, just for the sake of so-called respect for elders and sons, and watch our own family fall into chaos? Is a heroine like Tenth Miss really just acting like a slave, deceiving herself, without any fighting spirit, and still thinking that she is clear-headed and indifferent to the world?"
Instructor Zhang shouted sternly, "Wen Xing!"
Wen Xing sneered, "Master, although the Yu family is powerful, they are not the kind of people my Wen family can respect. You personally went to Wen to persuade my father to form an alliance with the Yu family. Now, if you want to drag me into this pretense of being clear-headed and actually being a coward, I might as well take my leave now."
"you!"
Instructor Zhang was so angry that he almost fainted from the rage of his sharp-tongued disciple.
Yu Nian personally rose, used a magic spell to help Instructor Zhang up, then stepped down from the main seat and personally poured Wen Xing a cup of tea, saying:
"If the demon race is not eliminated now, any family that dares to cause trouble will be dealt with by the Sky Patrol Division and various sects. Sect Leader Pei can even entrust the Pei family to the Su family for temporary management. If the Yu family dares to cause internal strife at this time, do you think he will let the Yu family off?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her short arms again, "My appearance has caused my parents a lot of worry. Back then, the patriarch gave the Bone-Strengthening Pill to my twelfth brother, and I've lived like this for so many years, haven't I? I know that when you go to receive missions, the eldest son's family will cover up many of the lucrative missions and only leave the difficult and low-profit ones. You've long been dissatisfied with that."
"Our Yu clan is based in Yunjing, a thousand miles away. It boasts sacred mountains and vast waters, abundant spiritual veins, and countless reserves of spirit stones and cinnabar. If you are truly the strongest, then put aside your grudges for now and help the sect to slay the demon. If the demon slaying fails, the world will be destroyed sooner or later. How long can you hold onto what you are fighting for now? If the demon slaying is successful, everything will be settled."
Wen Xing took the tea from her, lowered his eyes and said, "It's just a pity that we are powerless and instead make Fifth Master and Miss swallow their anger."
The group laughed and said, "Xing'er, when that time comes, kill more demons and pacify the northern lands. Then, the sect will have no reason to restrain us, and we will be able to roam freely amidst the great changes."
Everyone was in high spirits. Yu Yi looked at the crowd, and although they were all smiling, she looked a little embarrassed.
After dinner, he leaned against the window of his room to enjoy the breeze and saw Yan Huanyue and Zhao Chai'er eating at a street stall.
He leaned against the window, lost in thought for a while, when he vaguely saw out of the corner of his eye that Yan Huanyue had noticed him and glanced up in his direction.
Yu Yi immediately gave a nonchalant smile, scoffed, and closed the window.
Yan Huanyue withdrew her gaze. Yu Yi was not a good person to begin with, and she did not take his behavior to heart, continuing to eat.
Unable to contain her true nature, Zhao Chai'er chattered on about her experiences, finally asking, "How is Young Master Pei? Why haven't I seen him?"
Yan Huanyue put down her chopsticks and smiled slightly, "He's been doing well lately, recuperating in the sect. The north is bitterly cold, so it's not suitable for him to go there."
As she spoke, she got up and went to a secluded spot ahead to fetch her horse. When she reached the vicinity of the carriage, she slowly stopped.
Then, he used a magic spell to create a barrier around the carriage, trapping the carriage inside. The barrier spell passed through the carriage and tightly bound the people inside.
Yan Huanyue said to Zhao Chai'er, who followed behind her, "I will drive the carriage to the city gate later. After I leave, drive the carriage back and find an inn to rest early. Go home early tomorrow morning. Don't worry about me."
Zhao Chai'er was puzzled. "Is something urgent?"
Yan Huanyue nodded. "Yes, someone came looking for me. They're in the carriage. We'll be leaving soon, so you don't need to wait. Thank you for the meal earlier; it was very good."
Zhao Chai'er said, "Don't mention it."
Yan Huanyue jumped onto the carriage shaft, and after Zhao Chai'er sat on the shaft, she immediately drove the carriage to the high wall by the city gate.
Yan Huanyue climbed into the carriage, pulled out a person wrapped in white paper, and leaped over the city wall, disappearing into the night.
Zhao Chai'er didn't know why this person had made her so strange, but she followed Yan Huanyue's instructions and drove the carriage back to the small town.
Yan Huanyue dragged the body wrapped in white paper against the wind into the countryside, her natal sword transforming into several blades of wind as she charged forward.
Under the lonely moon, a paper crane gracefully flew from beside the moon, effortlessly snatching the blade from her.
As the paper crane drew closer, a woman in red could be seen sitting cross-legged on its back.
The paper crane hovered in the air not far from Yan Huanyue. The woman in red simply stretched out her hand at her and said, "My fishing rod, give it back to me."
Yan Huanyue stood on her longsword, one hand forming a hand seal, the other holding a person wrapped in white paper. She threw the person she was holding directly at Liao Yunu opposite her.
The human figure slowly stopped in front of the paper crane. The white paper on its body slipped off like a piece of silk, revealing a corpse that had been reduced to broken bones and covered in pus and blood.
Logically speaking, those scattered bones should hardly be able to support the outline of a human body on the white paper. The reason there is an outline is because those scattered bones are being held in the arms of the unconscious Yu Yi.
Yan Huanyue frowned slightly. Didn't Yu Yi just close the window?
Liao Yunu chuckled, "Little kid, playing hide-and-seek, you ran onto the carriage and bumped into my shroud. I guess I'll just have to send him on his way too. What are you afraid of? Afraid that when you peel back the white paper, there's a cloud of poisonous fog? Don't worry, what could be more poisonous than the fog in your house?"
The paper crane gently flapped its wings, and the long sword beneath Yan Huanyue's feet suddenly shook, causing the yin-yang ring in her sleeve to be revealed.
In the blink of an eye, the Yin-Yang Rings had reached Liao Yunu. Liao Yunu quickly flipped over, and even though she dodged extremely fast, she was still struck on the face by two almost overlapping rings.
One ring of burns, one ring of frostbite.
Liao Yunu pulled out a piece of paper to cover half of her face in the wind. "The Pei family's Yin-Yang Ring. Pei Hanzhou is quite generous, giving away such an old item."
Yan Huanyue flew over on her sword, picked up the Yin-Yang Rings, and threw them at Liao Yunu. The two rings overlapped, seemingly possessing an endless power of mutual generation and growth. Liao Yunu was directly blasted far away, and the paper crane beneath her instantly turned to ashes.
Yan Huanyue immediately followed the direction in which Liao Yunu had been blasted away, but only found half a piece of white paper floating in the air like a flying catkin.
She caught the falling white paper and saw a small portrait of Liao Yunu drawn on it, with a scar on the face of the person in the portrait.
Was that Liao Yunu just now a fake?
No wonder they were defeated so easily.
Yan Huanyue grabbed the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it aside. Xuan Jiang really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Sending a paper figure to steal the fishing rod, whether he succeeds or not, Liao Yunu won't suffer any loss.
When Yan Huanyue returned, she saw Yu Yi, who was unconscious and holding a pile of flesh and bones covered in blood, and glanced at her indifferently.
The siblings still needed to deliver supplies to the north, and it would be bad if something happened to him. Thinking of this, Yan Huanyue made a spell and threw him into the city wall before turning and leaving.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the further north you go, the more desolate the atmosphere becomes.
While resting in the countryside, Yan Huanyue saw a golden osmanthus tree growing at an angle among the broken walls and ruins. After setting off again, she saw only cold mist rolling in the sky and countless howling winds.
A vast snowfield stretched to the horizon, utterly silent except for the sound of the wind.
Yan Huanyue flew on her sword for several days before finally reaching the foot of the snow-covered peaks near the natural barrier. These peaks were originally pulled from the seabed and locked here as a barrier when the natural barrier formation was set up after the great battle.
The mountains are towering and majestic, vast and expansive, and constantly battered by wind and snow. Standing at the foot of the mountains, facing these countless peaks, it's hard not to feel as insignificant as an ant.
Beyond the mountains lies a vast, cold-weather chasm.
Amidst the cold wind and snow, a cluster of low-lying houses and a patrol fortress stand against the mountain.
This is the Misty Sect, which has not yet been replaced by the Heavenly Evolution Sect. Yan Huanyue came alone from the snowfield and entered the formation here, where countless arrows and weapons were already pointed at her.
Yan Huanyue tossed out her token from a distance and used telepathy to identify herself. Only then did the patrol team lead her to a secluded house to rest.
More than half a day later, Xue Jingnian, covered in snow, ran into the house.
He stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw her, sat down on a high chair nearby, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Huanyue said, "It's the sect's turn to patrol this year, so I have to come sooner or later."
Xue Jingnian said, "The official handover will not take place until next summer. The tokens will not be fully replaced yet. Without the tokens, you will not be able to go up the mountain."
Yan Huanyue said, "It's nothing. Since I'm here, I can do my part. I came here to catch up with the patrol formation. Please ask the elder to include me in the team that is taking over the patrol formation of the Heavenly Barrier."
Xue Jingnian said, "There's nothing fun here. Inspecting the formations is tedious and boring. Nearly six or seven hours out of twelve are spent on it every day. It won't be until next year before you can finish looking at it in detail. Since there's no order to transfer you here, you might as well go back first."
Yan Huanyue said, "Since we're already here, if you don't pass on a message, I'll ask the people from the Misty Sect here to do so. They would naturally prefer more people from the Heavenly Evolution Sect to come and inspect the formation as soon as possible so that the handover can be completed."
Xue Jingnian drank a cup of tea and said, "Since you insist on going, why should I stop you?"
After saying that, he put down his teacup and went out the door.
It gets dark very early and dawn very late here. Since Yan Huanyue had just arrived, she couldn't wander around freely and stayed quietly in her room until the next day.
When it was still dark, a disciple of the Misty Sect came and gave her a set of snow-blue robes with a red silk sash around her waist.
Besides the clothes, there was also a glass mirror and a box of talismans.
“This is the robe for traversing this area. This mirror can detect even more subtle cracks in the array. If there are indeed cracks, patch them with talisman paper first, and an elder will soon come to make corrections. Inspecting the array is not an urgent matter. Fellow Daoist has come from afar, why not rest for a few more days?”
Yan Huanyue packed her things and said, "No need. We've rested here for quite a while now. I'll go with you today."
Once outside, they found a group of Tianyan Sect disciples and a group of Piaomiao Sect disciples already waiting in the snow outside.
Yan Huanyue glanced at the Misty Sect disciple who had just delivered the items to her, realizing that she had never seen this person before. Since everyone was already waiting here, she wondered why he had advised her to rest for a few more days.
If she had actually followed his advice and rested for another day, then Yan Huanyue would have become famous here right from the start.
The sect has not yet officially transferred any personnel; the Tianyan Sect's team of disciples consists of a few inner disciples brought by the elders when they set off.
Yan Huanyue, dressed in blue with a red waistband, joined the ranks of the Tianyan Sect disciples and followed them as they rode their swords westward to the Northwest Tongming Seashore.
No one explained anything to her, but she understood that the plan was to go from the western underwater formation through the chasm to the eastern underwater formation.
On the open sea, the waves roll and surge, carrying thin pieces of ice, like countless shattered pieces of glass being stirred up.
Looking further north, as far as the eye can see, there is a pristine, crystal-clear glacier.
Yan Huanyue performed a water-avoidance incantation and jumped into the water with the others. A chill ran through her bones, but it was gradually shielded by her magic robes. She swam a little further and saw countless golden magic seals floating up from the deep trench.
She sank deeper and deeper into the sea, where the ocean floor grew darker, quieter, and more profound, with only the vast and magnificent golden seal scripture, as clear as the sky, gleaming faintly.
Under such an astonishing array, Yan Huanyue felt like a tiny mayfly.
Although the formation here is vast and boundless, it is actually very easy to spot any flaws because light shines through the darkness. Even the smallest cracks can be seen at a glance.
Each of the Tianyan Sect disciples on patrol was responsible for a hundred-mile stretch of sea, and each was also assigned a Misty Sect disciple.
As Yan Huanyue examined the formation from top to bottom with the glass mirror, she vaguely glimpsed a blue fish flashing across the opposite side of the formation.
Just as they were about to take a closer look, a strikingly beautiful and flamboyant face suddenly appeared on the opposite side. It was a young man in blue robes carrying a sea lantern, his thick black hair floating in the seawater behind him.
The boy waved to her, then pointed to the golden magic seal in front of her, and suddenly picked up the sea lantern, signaling her to activate the formation.
When Yan Huanyue was illuminated by the sea lantern, the bright light made her dizzy for a moment, and a memory appeared in her mind.
Their race is the reflection of the gods, and she bears the responsibility of cleansing the world of its filth. She entered the human world to kill those who should not enjoy the world.
He endured humiliation and hardship, even sacrificing himself for Pei Hanzhou's son, all for this day.
Now that she has finally made contact with the magic circle and is about to succeed, her lover is already waiting on the other side to celebrate the first moment she breaks through the magic circle.
Once the magic circle is broken, the other side will reveal boundless beauty...
In the vast, tranquil deep sea, in the sunless trenches, separated by a golden canopy, two figures, as small as mayflies, float in the dark waters, gazing at each other across the screen.
Yan Huanyue blinked and threw a spell through the talisman. Although most of the magic power was neutralized by the formation, it still knocked down the sea lantern on the other side.
The person opposite suddenly lunged forward, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace. Through the array, he opened his mouth and spat out a bloody eyeball.
His eyes darted around in the seawater until they finally found the right direction and stared straight at her.
The boy hovered behind her eyes, staring at her fiercely.
"That's the demon on the other side, designed to lure people into breaking the formation. We call it the Sea Demon. Some say it's the product of a succubus and a demon. Although Wu Zhen has never admitted it, it's common for succubi to take a fancy to demons when they're in a state of lust. Or perhaps, the succubi were captured for pleasure back then, so it's hard for them to admit it."
The Misty Sect disciple following behind her transmitted his voice: "However, because of the formation, the bewitching techniques of those sea demons are greatly reduced, making it difficult to deceive others. However, perhaps it is because their bewitching skills are extremely profound that they have been kept by the formation. You don't need to worry about them."
Yan Huanyue nodded, no longer looking at the young man opposite her. While looking at Fa Zhuan, she replied telepathically, "Who was the one who delivered the things to me today? I want to thank him."
The disciple replied, "You mean Senior Brother Xu Lan? You don't know him?"
Yan Huanyue thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know him."
"That's not right. Senior Brother Xu Lan has some connection with Fellow Daoist Yu Zhao of your sect. Didn't Fellow Daoist Yu bring you to our Misty Sect before?"
Yan Huanyue said, "I have never been to your sect."
The disciple muttered to himself, "Didn't they say they looked very intimate? Maybe it's his fiancée..."
As he was speaking, he realized something and immediately shut up.
Yan Huanyue vaguely guessed why that Fellow Daoist Xu harbored a hint of malice towards her.
What exactly is Yu Zhao? How come even a little bit of him can cause people to feel disgusted even when they're in the North?
However, matters in the North were of great importance, and apart from giving her a hard time the day he delivered the gifts, Xu Lan never tried to trip her up again.
After Yan Huanyue became familiar with the route, she would specifically look for flames in the icy sea during her journeys back and forth on the seabed, hoping to collect some to refine the Cold-Repelling Pearl and send it back to Pei Xuanzhi, but she hadn't seen any yet.
On the seventh day after she arrived in the north, at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM), the sky was still pitch black.
She meditated all night, and before setting off, she dispersed the hand seals at her fingertips.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a winding light swimming towards me through the thin mist of the snowfield.
Xue Jingnian, whom we haven't seen for several days, stood beneath the watchtower, seemingly welcoming the visitors.
Yan Huanyue guessed that it was someone from the Yu family, but the Yu family didn't seem to have as many carriages and horses this time. Xue Jingnian was here to greet them, so it was also possible that someone from the Xue family had come to deliver gifts.
They still had a long way to go, and since Yan Huanyue and her group had a fixed departure time, they didn't stay here to see who was coming.
However, after jumping into the colder seawater than usual today, I saw a tiny flame wandering in the deep trench.
As the weather gets colder, the seawater becomes increasingly cold, and the thin ice on the sea surface gradually merges, causing the ice and fire on the seabed to rise and cool.
She gathered the wisp of ice and fire away and chatted with her Misty Sect disciple via telepathy: "It's not a rare item, but ice and fire are scarce here in the magic array. When we encounter them, we make them into Cold-Repelling Pearls to sell. Because the magic array isolates them, the price of Cold-Repelling Pearls has also risen. No wonder you came to inspect the magic array. You really know what's the most profitable as soon as you arrive."
Yan Huanyue carefully put away the ice and fire, then took out the glass mirror to examine the magic array inch by inch. "I checked the magic array because I was worried... This flame is too small; it won't be able to refine anything."
The disciple said, "The sea has only just cooled down now. When winter comes, there will be some plants that grow well. However, you will also need to use them yourself. Otherwise, it is not worthwhile to consume spiritual energy to maintain your body temperature. If you are not careful, you will freeze and get frostbite. If you are swept away by the abyss, you may not be able to come back."
The sea spirit on the other side of the magic circle watched their mouth movements, casually picked up a cluster of intensely burning ice and fire from beside her, played with it in her hand, and when she got tired of it, threw it into her mouth and swallowed it. She burped, and suddenly two red lights appeared in her eyes like fireworks.
Once the red light in his eyes died down, he tossed over a few more clusters of fire that burned even brighter, looking at her defiantly.
Yan Huanyue found him increasingly displeasing. Did people with some demon blood have a certain arrogance in their bones?
