Chapter 17 There is a treasure under the water

The night view of Huangfeng Valley is very beautiful. A bright moon is reflected in Shengquan Lake. There seems to be a layer of light mist on the lake, which looks like a fairyland.

Lin Yun found a place by the lake to meditate, controlling the Qinglong Gu to absorb spiritual energy.

The water spiritual energy here is particularly abundant, and the efficiency of the Qinglong Gu in absorbing spiritual energy has also increased a lot.

While Lin Yun was immersed in cultivation, Wang Wanqiu toured the entire Huangfeng Valley.

With her cultivation level in the Divine Realm, she is already considered a top expert in this small place. As long as she is careful, no one will notice her.

After walking around for a while, Wang Wanqiu had a certain understanding of the Yellow Wind Valley.

This is a closed small town, and the people living here are isolated from the world.

Most people make a living by farming or mining.

In addition to the subordinates of the Red Lotus Sect, there are also other practitioners. Some of these practitioners will be selected by Hongling to become members of the guard.

The guards would patrol around the Yellow Wind Valley once every seven days to investigate the situation nearby.

Wang Wanqiu felt that this might be her chance. As long as she could leave the Huangfeng Valley and reach the outside world, she would have the opportunity to pass on the information.

However, there were no clues to the treasure she was looking for.

The Yellow Wind Valley is not very big, and there is nothing special to see.

If there is any treasure, it can only be found in the mine to the west.

But she can't get close to the mine now. If she can join the guard, maybe she still has a chance.

Wang Wanqiu was somewhat disappointed. If it was just a mine, it wouldn't be worth the fuss.

While she was strolling by the lake, Lin Yun had just finished a round of practice.

The Qinglong Gu is tired, let it rest for a while, it’s a good combination of work and rest!

He is not an unscrupulous boss who exploits Little Green Snake, a child laborer.

When Wang Wanqiu saw Lin Yun, she asked curiously, "Are you investigating here too?"

Lin Yun nodded.

Since he was temporarily pretending to hang out with Wang Wanqiu, he also had to work. It would be bad if Wang Wanqiu knew that he was slacking off the whole time.

Wang Wanqiu shared her findings with Lin Yun, and then asked Lin Yun: "What did you find out?"

Ah, I have been fishing...

Lin Yun rolled his eyes, thinking about how to fool Wang Wanqiu. Suddenly, looking at the hazy water, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said, "I find this Holy Spring Lake very mysterious. Do you think that this is where the Red Lotus Demon Lord hides his treasure?"

Lin Yun was just talking nonsense, but Wang Wanqiu's eyes lit up and she said happily, "Yes, why didn't I think of that? I have checked other places, but not here. This water surface can block spiritual consciousness. There must be something strange about it."

Lin Yun was speechless.

As long as you are happy, I just said that casually.

"You stay on the shore and keep watch for me while I go down into the water to investigate."

Wang Wanqiu used her spiritual sense to observe the surroundings and found that no one was paying special attention to this place. There were some people practicing near the Holy Spring Lake, but none of them could cultivate spiritual sense. She just needed to find a darker place to go into the water and no one would notice her.

Lin Yun nodded, and the two of them went to find a place that was sheltered from the light and surrounded by some short bushes for shelter.

Wang Wanqiu took off her shoes, carefully went into the water, and quickly dived down. The surface of the lake was rippling slightly, but soon returned to calm.

Lin Yun meditated on the shore and waited for about half an hour before Wang Wanqiu emerged from the water and climbed ashore.

At this time, her whole body was wet, her clothes were sticking to her body, and her graceful figure was finally revealed in front of Lin Yun.

However, that was only a brief moment. Wang Wanqiu quickly condensed the water on her body into a water ball and threw it away casually, and her clothes returned to their original state.

At this moment, her face was solemn, and Lin Yun felt that the Qinglong Gu seemed to be a little excited.

The emotion it conveyed to Lin Yun was that it smelled something delicious on Wang Wanqiu.

I didn’t have this feeling before, which means that there is something underwater that attracts the Qinglong Gu.

No, could it be that the place below is really where Dongfang Hongyue hides his treasure?

"How about it?"

Lin Yun asked.

Wang Wanqiu shook her head solemnly and said, "This Holy Spring Lake may not look big, but it is bottomless, and the deeper you go, the denser the spiritual energy of the water becomes. It seems that there must be something hidden underneath. Even if it is not the treasure hiding place of the Red Lotus Demon Lord, it must be some extraordinary spiritual object."

Lin Yun nodded and thought to himself, it turned out that the water spirit energy was so strong, no wonder the Qinglong Gu reacted, it liked water spirits and wood spirits.

"So what should we do?"

"wait."

Wang Wanqiu said calmly, "I'll go down and take a look when there's no one around. I didn't use any magic just now because I was afraid of making too much noise. Let's sneak down when it's late at night."

"Um."

"Go back first. I'll call you at midnight tonight."

Wang Wanqiu put on her shoes and returned to the inn first.

This inn is specially built for people who are new to the valley. When they first arrive, they have no place to stay and can only stay in the inn, which consumes three lotus coins every day.

Lin Yun then returned to his room and took out the whistle that Dongfang Hongyue had given him.

It was said at the beginning that the red moon in the east would appear if you blew it. Lin Yun silently named this thing a dog whistle and then tried it.

He didn't use too much force, just blew gently, and a ball of fire floated out of the whistle. Then, the phantom of the red moon in the east appeared in the fire.

"It's only been one day, and you already have intelligence?"

"Well, there is one thing. I found something strange about the Holy Spring Lake. Is there any treasure underneath?"

"That's why you blew the whistle?"

"Well, not really. I just want to try out the effect of this whistle."

Dongfang Hongyue: “…”

If she were in front of this guy, she would definitely beat him up.

Even with the help of magic weapons, transmitting sound over a thousand miles would consume a lot of energy, not to mention that she was not just transmitting sound.

"Forget it. Since you are curious, I will tell you. There is indeed a treasure in the Holy Spring Lake. It should be a water-attributed spiritual treasure, but even I can't reach the bottom of the lake. It's useless for you to be curious."

"No way, you can't get down even though you're so powerful?"

Lin Yun obviously didn't believe it, but Dongfang Hongyue was quite convinced by it, so she explained, "Water controls fire. The water spirit under the Holy Spring Lake is too dense, which is a kind of suppression to me. Unless I release the restrictions and burn the water dry, a good secret realm may be ruined. Anyway, it is a water-based spiritual treasure, so it is of no use to me.

You can have any idea you want, as long as you can take the treasure away, just consider it as a gift from me.

But let me tell you first, if you want to get this spiritual treasure, you need at least the same level of cultivation as me, and it must be of water attribute. Among the two races of humans and demons, there is only one White Dragon Demon King who meets these two conditions.

But as a demon clan, Bai Jiao can't possibly come to our side, right?"

At this time, in Baihu City, a woman in white clothes sneezed.

"Who is talking about me again? Or is it because you are not used to the climate here?"
