There were five people in front of them, three women and two men. The leader was a woman in her thirties with an elegant appearance. She was also the only cultivator wearing a Dharma robe.

The other four were clearly in a worse state; one man and one woman didn't even have any magical artifacts.

The one who demanded that the three hand over their fish baskets was the man without any magical artifacts.

Jiang Xiaoyue's expression was solemn;

Shenxian'er's chest heaved violently, and her breathing became rapid;

As for Xu Ni, she was struggling alone in the market. She could act cute and innocent, but she also had a fierce and ruthless side. At this moment, she glared at the five people without backing down.

The leader bowed and said, "I am Wang Yun from Shuijinfang. I greet you three fellow Daoists."

Shuijinfang is one of the markets under the jurisdiction of Qingyue Sect. It is located near a Shuijin mine, and magical artifacts are much cheaper there than in other markets.

In Xu Ni's future plans, once she has a storage bag, she will sell Qingyuefang spirit rice in Shuijinfang and Shuijinfang magic items in Qingyuefang, working hard to earn a little profit from the price difference.

"Qingyuefang, Jiang Xiaoyue." Jiang Xiaoyue gripped the carrying pole tightly. "Please move aside."

Wang Yun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, as long as there is a fish basket, we will immediately make way."

She had a delicate appearance and a gentle voice, making it impossible to tell that she was a robber.

Xu Ni retorted, "The anchovies are right there, there are plenty of them, take as many as you want, why are you robbing us!"

"Hahaha!" Four of the five people burst into laughter.

Wang Yun's smile deepened.

The man with the ritual implements spread his hands and said, "Do you see we have a fish basket?"

"Let me tell you," the woman with a fierce expression said, "we brought nothing but magical artifacts and talismans; we're just waiting to rob you!"

The fairy suddenly remembered the teachings of the deity—

Lesson 1: If you don't keep the spirit stones for yourself, they will belong to someone else sooner or later.

Lesson Two: While others hoard spirit stones, I hoard magical artifacts; their spirit stones are my spirit stones.

"Hand over the fish basket!" The man with the magical artifact stepped forward, his flying sword buzzing above his head like a bloodthirsty serpent.

The three of them were completely tense.

"What should we do?" Xu Ni asked in a low voice.

Although she is fierce, she has never actually fought to the death and is afraid in critical moments.

Jiang Xiaoyue frowned in thought.

“My Lord God…” Shenxian’er gripped the branch at her waist tightly.

Have you noticed that they can talk underwater? These people have gone to great lengths to facilitate their raids; I, the divine being, acknowledge them as qualified raiders!

"...Lord God!"

"Gods?" The ruthless woman scoffed. "Begging anyone won't help."

[That makes sense. The other party is only at the Qi Refining stage; there's no use in begging me anymore.]

Wang Yun said softly, "Let's not delay, let's get started."

The three of them felt a jolt of fear; they hadn't expected their opponent to attack so suddenly.

Whoosh!

The magic sword shot out;

A simple water-gold brick was struck;

The water arrow talisman was wet, and three sharp, light blue arrows appeared in a triangular shape.

The Water Shark Symbol expanded, and a shark made entirely of water lunged fiercely.

Shenxian'er subconsciously raised her hand.

The shield spell was activated, and a transparent, light blue shield resembling a city gate descended.

boom!

Unable to maintain their balance in the water, their shields were blasted far away, pushing the three of them along with them.

"Xian'er!" Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni helped Shen Xian'er up.

"I'm fine!" Shen Xian'er's heart was pounding.

She glanced at it and saw several inconspicuous cracks on the light blue transparent shield.

The expressions of the five people opposite them changed simultaneously.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"Hold on tight!!" Jiang Xiaoyue raised her arm and urged the carrying pole, which turned into a rocket, pulling her away at high speed.

Shenxian'er and Xu Ni desperately grabbed onto her hem, which swayed behind them like a long fish tail.

Wang Yun reached into her bosom, took something out, and threw it out.

A large, golden net descended, trapping the carrying pole and the three men.

Wang Yun then made a hand seal and whispered, "Match!"

The golden netting was closed and sealed.

Shenxian'er released Jiang Xiaoyue, took out the last four water bullet talismans from her sleeve, and threw them out without caring about accuracy.

The water bullets generated by the hastily activated water bullet talisman varied in number, with the fewest being only one.

Four sheets, a total of eight water bombs, were fired at the golden net.

The net was swollen, but that was all; the water bullet passed through and disappeared into the lake.

"Hahaha!" The four of them burst into laughter.

"These three are indeed novices!" The man without the magical artifact laughed as he made hand seals.

The water shark suddenly lunged forward, its water-based body propelling it directly into the golden net, where it began to tear at the three of them with ferocious bites.

Jiang Xiaoyue raised her hand and swung the carrying pole.

The man with the no-tool pointed upwards, and the water shark that had been pouncing on him suddenly surged upwards, following the hand seal, thus avoiding the carrying pole.

The man without the weapon pointed downwards again, and a water shark circled above the three of them before swooping down.

Jiang Xiaoyue swung the carrying pole again, but the shark dodged it once more.

"Hold on!" Xu Ni bit down on the fish basket, took out a jade bottle, uncorked it, and pulled out a cuttlefish from inside.

She squeezed the squid with both hands, like a small cannon salute to the earth, and the squid suddenly sprayed ink.

call!

The black ink spread rapidly, filling the entire golden net, with a small amount seeping out from the gaps in the net.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang," Wang Yun said softly, "hand over the fish basket, or I'll have to close the net."

The unarmored man frequently changed his hand seals, and the water shark rampaged through the black ink, leaving trails of black lines.

In the darkness, the three hid in a corner.

"What should we do?" Shenxian asked, panting heavily.

She has five types of talismans: water-repelling talisman, water bullet talisman, hemostatic talisman, detection talisman, and lightness talisman. The only one with offensive power is the water bullet talisman, because she used most of them to catch the silver ring snake, and she just used the last four.
