Chapter 42: Exploring the Secrets of the East China Sea and Revisiting the Past



Last time, Luo Yan flew eastward on his sword for a long time in search of an island where he could refine the Five Elements True Veins.

Shi Liuli had never been so deep into the East China Sea. She heard from her father that the deeper the East China Sea, the more powerful the various water monsters were. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation and curiosity.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two were attacked again.

The attacker was actually a giant squid, about three meters wide, with a white background and purple lines. He raised his hand and made a few rustling sounds, and water arrows shot out, striking the air with sword light.

Shi Liuli saw the attack from below and just as he was about to use the Jade Emperor Bell to defend himself, he was grabbed by Luo Yan and quickly rolled to the side.

Because the shape of the water arrow is very similar to the second level of Qingping Sword's Taoist magic "Empty Mountain After the Rain", it might have the effect of breaking through defense.

Sure enough, the water arrow treated the Jade Emperor Bell's protective shield as nothing and penetrated directly through it without any hindrance.

Fortunately, Luo Yan urgently pulled Miss Shi, so that the water arrow did not penetrate her skull - but instead shot out the hairpin in her hair, causing her unrestrained black hair to fall down.

Realizing that his favorite hairpin was destroyed, Shi Liuli was so angry that he screamed and took out the divine whip, smashing it down with all his strength!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the giant squid moved its body and tried to sink and escape.

As a result, the Divine Whip was faster and directly broke its two tentacles. It hit its head and created a huge bloody hole.

The giant squid first sank vertically, then slowly floated up sideways, obviously it was dead.

Shi Liuli pressed down the sword light and said to Luo Yan:

"Junior brother, help me find out if there is any inner elixir in its body."

"Senior sister." Luo Yan said helplessly, "Only monsters at the transformation stage have inner elixirs."

The so-called transformation stage is the term used by monsters and beasts, which means the transformation from a beast body to a human body, which corresponds to the golden elixir stage of human cultivators.

If the two of them encountered a transformed monster in the East China Sea, the first thing they would do would be to run for their lives. There would be no other choice.

"Really?" Shi Liuli was still a little skeptical, "But this squid is so powerful that it can even break the defense of my Jade Emperor Bell. I think its cultivation level can't be too far behind."

"Of course." Luo Yan explained patiently. The squid's innate magical power should have the effect of breaking defense, so it can ignore the defense of the Jade Emperor Bell and blew up the hairpin on Miss Shi's head.

If we really talk about strength, it is almost at the lower middle level of the Huafu stage, and is even weaker than cultivators of the same level.

"Is that so?" Shi Liuli was skeptical, but suddenly he had an idea. He asked Luo Yan to help dismember the giant squid, get some fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish, and then find an island nearby for a barbecue.

After hearing Miss Shi's request, Luo Yan was completely impressed.

What kind of bizarre train of thought would require one to plan to explore uninhabited ruins one moment and then change his mind and kill seafood for a feast the next.

But this young lady has always been spoiled. If you go against her in your attempt to persuade her, she will definitely throw a tantrum.

"Okay, then I'll look for the island first." Luo Yan coaxed her.

He pulled out his flying sword, cut the squid into several pieces, and put them into the storage bag.

Then he took Miss Shi and followed the previous route, and finally arrived at the island where he had originally practiced the Five Elements Divine Light.

As soon as he arrived above the island, Shi Liuli immediately became interested.

This is probably because the island has beautiful mountains and rivers, lush jungles, and fine-textured sandy beaches, which meets all the requirements of a seaside resort.

The main reason is that someone repaired the island after his divine light reached perfection, and harmonized the five elements of spiritual energy, which made this place become full of vitality.

She landed, took off her shoes and socks, and played in the water on the beach. Luo Yan flew his sword to the nearby sea and quietly used the Taoist magic of the Qingping Sword to catch many fish and shrimps.

Then we chopped down some more trees, set up a grill on the beach, and got to work.

Miss Shi was born in the East China Sea, so she was naturally accustomed to the ocean and beaches. It was just her first time entering an uninhabited island deep in the East China Sea. The unfamiliar environment was a little novel for her at first.

She soon got bored of the game and came back to guard the grill, using her flying sword to poke the fish and shellfish on it. She ate one as it was cooked, her mouth full of oil, her face beaming with joy, and she was extremely happy.

Seeing her look like a glutton, Luo Yan also tried some grilled fish.

Well, the fish here is indeed more plump, tender and juicy.

I think it may be related to the fact that the deep-sea monsters here are of higher level, but I don’t know what the root cause is.

After eating the seafood barbecue, both of them felt full and satisfied.

Although those who practice Taoism have already practiced fasting and do not need to eat, they can still enjoy the pleasures of the world by satisfying their appetite occasionally.

After refining the turbid air in his stomach, Luo Yan stood up slowly, thinking that he could finally go back now, right?

Then I heard Miss Shi announce:

"This island will belong to me from now on. Junior brother, how about we build a hut here and practice meditation for a few days?"

Luo Yan almost vomited blood when he heard this.

It would be fine if I just left without saying goodbye, but I even stayed outside for a few days. When I go back, Elder Shiding will skin me alive!

"Sister, this is not good, right? If Master knew..."

"You don't understand this." Shi Liuli said earnestly, "If we go back immediately, father will definitely be furious and hold us accountable for leaving the sect without reason and destroying the sect's property."

"If we go back a day later, my father will get worried. He thinks that as long as we can return safely, all the previous mistakes will be forgiven."

"If we go back after two days, father will pray and swear to give us more magic weapons and spiritual tools, just hoping that we can go back alive."

Luo Yan was stunned.

Wow! Is this the legendary "A wealthy woman will be a filial daughter"?

But this also shows one thing, that is, Miss Shi is not low in IQ, at least she has the emotional intelligence to understand human nature.

The reason why he usually behaves foolishly is simply because he has too few social contacts and is ignorant of the ways of the world.

The two of them packed up the barbecue stall. Miss Shi put on her shoes and socks and planned to go for a walk in the woods. Naturally, Luo Yan had to accompany her.

The two of them were walking on the road in the woods, and as they walked, they came to the entrance to the stone chamber where Luo Yan had practiced.

"Brother, look! There's a crack in the rock!" Miss Shi shouted in surprise, "Is there a secret place inside?"

If there really is a secret realm, I will call Miss Shi the God of Creation!

Luo Yan complained in his heart, but said:

"Indeed...Looking at the outline of this rock crack, it doesn't look like it was formed naturally. Maybe there really is another cave underneath."

"Do you think so too?" Shi Liuli had an idea and raised the divine whip and hit it directly on the crevice.

The passage that was originally blocked by the collapse of the rock wall due to Luo Yan's divine light was quickly cleared.

"Sure enough, there are ruins!" Miss Shi finally saw the artificial stone steps at the bottom of the passage. She immediately became excited and clapped her hands and laughed, "If I'm right, there must be immortals living in here!"

Luo Yan: ...

There is no immortal, but there is a powerful person who has died.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to refuse, Shi Liuli grabbed his hand without saying anything and dragged him into the crevice.
