Shenxian'er bought many books, some of which were naturally about Waihu.

Whether it's what the girl named Yiyi said or the reminder from Shui Zhongyue, you can learn something from the book.

Unfortunately, in order to avoid the Golden Core cultivators of the Qingyue Sect stationed at Humingfang, and in his haste to get on the road, he didn't read a single book.

The demon-hunting ship named 'Canglang' continued its journey at full speed toward the Sapphire Coral Reef.

The coral reefs were indeed like sapphires, showing no trace of aquatic life, appearing dreamlike and ethereal in the lake.

Shenxian'er had seen many corals at the bottom of the lake, all of them colorful and varied in shape, but this was the first time she had ever seen one so regular—regular in both shape and color—like a sapphire.

“Coral is actually a kind of animal,” Shui Zhongyue suddenly said.

The fairy was a little incredulous: "It's not a plant, it's an animal?"

Shui Zhongyue nodded: "This coral reef has become a demon and is used by the Qingyue Sect as a node in their protective formation. The spiritual power within it is also used to maintain the formation."

On the mast, the first mate, who was in the early stages of building the ship, held up a token.

The token emitted a blue light, enveloping the 'Canglang Ship'.

The ship approached the boundary without encountering any obstruction and passed directly through the array's light barrier.

Standing on the ship, separated by a blue protective shield, the group looked up at the thick array of light above them and felt a sense of insignificance, as if they were ants standing beneath a human city wall.

The fairy was shocked.

This is only a corner of the Azure Moon Sect's protective formation; how powerful and unshakeable is the complete protective formation?

"No wonder the seven major sects have stood for ten thousand years, sharing Moon Gazing Lake with the water demons despite their human bodies," someone on the boat couldn't help but exclaim.

"They just left like that? This is the sect's protective formation, isn't it guarded?"

"Don't worry, getting out is easy, getting in is difficult."

There were clearly also cultivators on the ship, like immortals, who were venturing into the open sea for the first time.

A female sailor approached and clasped her hands in greeting to the two, saying, "Fellow Daoists, the ship is about to enter the open sea, where dangers lurk everywhere. Please be careful at all times."

"Thank you." Shui Zhongyue nodded.

The fairy stood to the side, clasping her hands in thanks.

The female sailor nodded to the two of them and turned to leave.

On deck, each group of passengers received a reminder from a sailor monk.

Many people directly brought out their magical artifacts.

The sword light swirled, and Yiyi held a level 6 magic sword of the first tier in her hand, carrying it behind her back in the elegant way a woman wields a sword.

She looked at Shenxian'er defiantly.

The first-tier, sixth-level magic sword was specially bought for her by her father for this trip. Even a rogue cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining might not have a magic weapon of this caliber.

Shenxian'er has a very good temper, but she is a little competitive.

When Jiang Xiaoyue dared to provoke her, she simply held six spirit stones in her hand and stood in front of Jiang Xiaoyue's stall until Jiang Xiaoyue wanted to pack up before leaving.

At this moment, she flicked the sleeve of her robe, and a stream of light shot up, swirling rapidly around her before slowly hovering beside her like a swimming fish.

As the sky gradually darkened, sharp and heavy spiritual light rippled outwards from the magical artifact in concentric circles.

A Tier 1, Level 9 magical artifact, the Moonlight Peach Pit.

Shenxian'er looked at Yiyi.

Yi Yi's face turned ugly. She snorted and turned her head away.

"Hehe~" the fairy chuckled to herself.

The last section of the stern also left the protective array, and the array's light barrier, which resembled a wall, disappeared as if it had never existed.

The Canglang boat sails alone on the vast lake.

As darkness fell completely, the bright moonlight illuminated the entire Wangyue Lake, making it shine like a giant mirror.

The concentration of moonlight spiritual energy has increased significantly.

The water vapor was also surging and turbulent.

Even without using the Spirit Gathering Array, its effect is already comparable to that of the Three Sisters Market when the Spirit Gathering Array is used.

The fairy remembered a book she had read, which said: Great demons are born in the mountains, and only deep lakes can nurture water demons of enormous size.

The spiritual energy here is far more abundant than in Lake Echoing Village, which is why so many high-level water demons can reside here.

"careful!"

In the darkness of night, the captain, who had been giving orders, suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Those in the Qi Refining stage lack divine sense, and without the Spiritual Eye Technique, their vision at night is no different from that of ordinary people.

Anxiety permeated the monks.

A gentle breeze blew out from Shenxian'er.

She "saw" a huge bubble rising on the lake surface ahead of the boat.

The bubbles rushed toward them at an astonishing speed, and in the next instant, the mountain-sized bubbles split apart in the middle, turning into two giant waves.

In the center of the giant wave, a black mountain ridge was revealed.

Water sprite!

The water demon was still far away when it opened its mouth and spewed out a giant wave that rushed forward like soldiers charging into battle, attacking the ship's hull.

The waves crashed against the hull, creating a deafening roar.

"ah!!"

Caught off guard, everyone was thrown out of the deck.

Shenxian'er was prepared, and with her Qi Refining Level 9 cultivation of 182 meridians, she only swayed slightly.

The moon reflected in the water beside him remained completely still.

"Yiyi!"

Shenxian turned her head and saw Yiyi being thrown into the air. The middle-aged male cultivator wanted to save her, but he was too busy to help himself.

She flicked her sleeves behind her back, tilted her head back, and instantly turned into a cloud of gray mist.

call!

The gray fog swirled in the air like a dragon before enveloping Yiyi as she landed.

"Yiyi!" At this moment, the middle-aged male cultivator steadied himself and rushed over.

It wasn't until her father held her in his arms that Yiyi came to her senses, her shoulders trembling.

Screams erupted as many Qi Refining stage cultivators were thrown out.

In the darkness, the flying fish swooped down and snatched the cultivator away.

"Thank you!" The middle-aged male cultivator was extremely grateful to the fairy.
