The entire Frostfeather Whale Clan was overjoyed at Jingyi's emergence from seclusion, as if they had found a spiritual vein. They circled around it happily several times before stopping.

Immediately afterwards, the stopped Frost Whales began to tell it everything that had happened during this time.

Upon learning that almost every whale among its subjects possessed a pill, it was not angry at all; instead, it earnestly thanked Lu Li once again.

After all, as the first Cold Feather Whale to consume the pill, it was well aware of its effects, and it became even more enthusiastic about Lu Li, the person who brought about this change.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, there is indeed a reason why the world of human cultivation values ​​these professional masters.

Yes, in Jingyi's mind now, Lu Li is a professional master; otherwise, how could she explain having so many pills on him?

Of course, its guess was not wrong; Lu Li was indeed skilled in alchemy.

After trading with the Frost Whale Clan for more than half a month, he discovered that most of the pills he and Shushu had stockpiled—pills specially made for spirit beasts by the Flowing Moon Sect—had disappeared.

Just like feeling insecure when your phone battery is below 90%, Lu Li was alright looking at the remaining pills, which were less than 30% full, but Shushu was quite anxious.

Then, noticing her anxiety, Lu Li pulled out a large pile of spiritual plants, preparing to find a place to refine pills.

He possessed these pill formulas and had refined many pills to complete sect missions in the past, so he was naturally not afraid.

Alchemy requires the use of fire, and precise control of the fire element is also necessary. Controlling the fire element in this underwater world is clearly impossible, and even if it were possible, the intensity would be extremely high.

To avoid wasting time and effort, Lu Li finally thought about it and found Jing Tong to ask if there were any relatively safe islands nearby, as he needed to refine pills.

Upon hearing about alchemy, Jing Tong roughly estimated the number of pills his clan had recently exchanged with Lu Li and guessed that Lu Li probably didn't have many left.

Thinking back to the efficacy of the pills that have been recently verified, they naturally hope that everyone can exchange for as many pills as possible, so that they can have more assurance.

Moreover, they might not encounter such an easy-going alchemist who could even come to the deep sea again, so they couldn't miss this good opportunity.

So, without the slightest hesitation, Whale Tong agreed and had already thought of a very suitable island, not far from their territory.

That area also belongs to the territory of the Frostfeather Whale Clan, and no other large sea beasts dare to approach it.

Although some spirit beasts also live on the island, they are all of low level and are on good terms with the Frostfeather Whale Clan, so there is no need to worry about accidents. It is the perfect place to go.

Thinking of this, Jing Tong briefly explained the situation to Lu Li and asked them to wait a moment before hurrying off to find Jing Yi.

Before Lu Li and Shushu could wait long, Jing Tong returned, bringing back not only several spiritual plants from storage rings, but also a guard team composed of Frost Feather Whales.

This guard team was specially assigned to protect Lu Li's safety while he was refining pills on the island.

Seeing that Jing Tong had arranged everything, Lu Li and Shu Shu exchanged a glance, not wanting to refuse their kindness, and nodded in agreement.

Just as they were about to leave, a group of whale cubs who had become familiar with Shushu also came running, clamoring to go and see how humans refined pills.

After being rejected by Whale Tong, the group of baby Frost Whales began to howl at the gate of their clan's territory. They made a lot of noise but didn't actually bring any rain, and their voices were extremely loud. They not only attracted their parents but also Whale Yi.

Just as the parents were about to give them another beating, Whale Yi spoke up in time, giving the little guys some things to protect themselves, and then let them go with them.

However, the accompanying team also gained two more members: the fuyu whale, who usually teaches the cubs, and is equivalent to a teacher in a human school.

Now, the little ones dared not cause any more trouble. The two winged whales would tell them to go east and they would never go west. They would line up and swim in the middle and they would never deviate from the line. They were so well-behaved that even Shushu was dumbfounded.

Soon, led by Whale Tong, the group left the tribe's territory in a grand procession and headed towards the island.

The island was not far from their territory. They had only swum for half a day when they saw a large pile of tree roots rooted in the seabed.

There are many tree roots, I counted them carefully and there are definitely no fewer than twenty. The roots are also very thick. The width of one root is about the size of two yams that would take to hug it.

They plunged into the seabed, and their upward extension was also extremely long. The length was impossible for the naked eye to calculate, but it was clear that looking up along the tree roots, there was a huge black shadow floating overhead.

Seeing this, Shushu had a general idea of ​​the island that Jingtong had mentioned.

If she wasn't mistaken, this island must have been formed from a giant ancient tree.

Sure enough, as they followed the roots upwards, the dark shape gradually became clearer, confirming that it truly was an island formed by clinging to this giant tree.

Moreover, it was an extremely large one, its area no less than that of the border town outside the Bert Desert on the Rainy Continent.

Underwater, the root system is home to various small marine mammals that build their nests and live freely.

Upon seeing a group of tundra whales approaching, they did not approach but were not alarmed either, continuing to swim and forage as usual, clearly very familiar with the tundra whales.

Seeing this, the Whale of the same type, the Frostfeather Whale, had no intention of driving away or teasing these low-level sea beasts. Instead, it led Lu Li and Shushu through the winding and turning roots of the giant tree, swimming higher and higher, where the roots became more and more numerous.

They swam for another quarter of an hour, and the tree roots became denser and denser, making the area around them smaller and smaller. In the end, even the takin whales had to shrink their bodies to swim.

Just as Shushu was thinking that if the space continued to shrink, she would have to shrink her size to pass through.

The width of the outlet has stabilized and no longer changes. Looking up, you can still see the clear blue sky and floating white clouds. The sweet potato can even feel the warmth of the sun.

Having spent nearly a month underwater, the land-dwelling creature, Shushu, was incredibly excited to suddenly feel the sunlight.

It couldn't wait to jump off the whale's back and excitedly swim upwards.

Upon seeing this, Lu Li immediately came to Shushu's side and walked alongside her at the same pace.

Because the distance here is already very, very short, they swam to the top in just a few breaths.

With a "splash," the brother and sister leaped out of the water almost simultaneously and landed on the island.
