Shenxian'er didn't mind, and instead comforted her, "Senior Shui, you taught me before that when you encounter a situation where there is really no other way, you should use all the means you have. Staying alive is the most important thing."
The moon in the water nodded, and then smiled for the first time.
"Heaven rewards those who persevere. This time, we both completed the mission and are one step closer to advancing."
The thought of advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage filled Shen Xian'er with excitement.
They can live to be 200!
It can fly without any external aids!
The moon reflected in the water revealed their identities, and the two dared not linger, fleeing quickly into the distance.
As for the mother water, it's all in the dragon-whisker carp's storage bag, and it's currently inside the moon's belly in the water.
It took them four days to find the sunken airship, and there were still three days until the Canglang ship was to be assembled.
For three days, they hid in a cliff at the bottom of the lake where spiritual energy was scarce, not cultivating, but simply adjusting their state.
Shenxian reflected on her experience.
First, defenses based on the spirit or soul are essentially nonexistent;
Second, spiritual energy recovery is too slow;
Third, there are too few types of talismans.
The first thing to do is to find a way to buy them. As long as you have spirit stones, you can buy most cultivation techniques.
Secondly... Generally speaking, elixirs are absorbed the slowest, but have the longest shelf life and the best effects;
Spiritual food is digested the fastest, but most of its spiritual energy will evaporate within half an hour, and its refining effect on spiritual vegetables is also average.
There is also spirit wine, which has the advantages of long-lasting effects like pills and rapid absorption like spirit food, but its disadvantage is that it is expensive.
Solution: Consider buying spirit wine to carry with you, drinking it to replenish your magic power while casting talismans.
Third, it's easy to solve: just buy a bunch of talisman books and learn them one by one.
On the third day, the meeting point appeared on the map.
The two rushed over.
I wasn't in a hurry to board the ship, and I didn't get on even when the ship started its return journey.
The fairy saw that of the five people in Yiyi's group, only she returned, her face full of sorrow and grief.
In fact, few people returned, and even the Canglang ship was badly damaged, with its masts broken in the middle.
It wasn't until the Canglang ship arrived in front of the Qingyue Sect's protective formation that the two pretended to be in a hurry to catch up and chased after it.
This gave Yiyi hope.
Even after the Canglang ship had completely passed through the array's light barrier, she still looked towards the outer lake, hoping to see the figures of people chasing after her.
But that's just wishful thinking.
Li Changzhou said: "[A side quest has arrived. This Yiyi definitely has a treasure that will lead to a series of developments. This is your Foundation Establishment stage challenge.]"
"A copy? What is a copy?" Shenxian'er asked, puzzled.
You'll understand once you recruit Yiyi into the Three Sisters Market.
Will she agree?
[Or perhaps that flower in the water is a duplicate,] Li Changzhou pondered.
"...My lord, what are you saying? I don't understand."
If you understood that, wouldn't you be a god?
"Oh." Although the fairy was scolded, she was very happy.
Chatting idly, the Canglang boat returned to the dock at Humingfang.
As soon as I arrived at the dock, I saw people selling goods right there.
Returning ships can sell their goods at the dock, saving on taxes paid to Humingfang. Of course, this requires giving the dock enforcement officers some benefits.
Between the two, it's more worthwhile to give benefits to law enforcement officers.
"Look, a mermaid! A mermaid with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish!"
"A clam-man! He can do anything you can imagine! Female cultivators, don't miss out!"
"The gull eel, with its delicious meat, is said to be equivalent to three days of arduous training. Only seven gull eels are available, so buy them while supplies last!"
"Phoenix Coil! The Phoenix Coil is essential for crafting water-based flying magical artifacts!"
The scene was quite interesting; each boat was a shop, and boarding the boat meant entering the shop.
Sure enough, as soon as the fairy and her companions came down, the Canglang boat became a shop selling 'precious knife fish'.
The Treasure Knife Fish, which is on par with the Demon Sword Fish, can reach the Foundation Establishment stage at its strongest. The fact that the Canglang Ship was able to make such a gain this time is undoubtedly due to the Golden Core stage puppet.
Therefore, the largest flow of people came from the merchant ships of Yaotai Pavilion that had traveled from afar.
"Shall we go and take a look?" Shui Zhongyue asked Shenxian'er.
"Great!" Shenxian'er was also itching to go, even though she definitely didn't have enough money.
As I followed the crowd inside, I learned that Yaotai Pavilion was having a promotion, with all puppets 50% off.
Now, both of them were tempted.
Upon entering, you'll see rows of round spheres.
The sphere sometimes unfolds, transforming into puppets such as humans and demons, and sometimes closes back into a single sphere.
The cultivators gasped in astonishment, impressed by the abundance and power of the puppets.
"Even the stingy Fellow Daoist Huang is planning to buy it?"
"I heard the Outland is in complete chaos. I'll take advantage of the discount now and buy one for self-defense."
"It is said that extraterrestrial beings descended and used our cultivation world as a chessboard. These celestial beings are all powerful, and even those in the Nascent Soul stage are no match for them."
"However, there seems to be an agreement between the celestial beings that if the cultivator they have chosen perishes, they must return to the celestial realm."
The shopping mall not only brought goods, but also news from outside the region.
Some people are inevitably worried.
How far away is war from us?
"Wangyue Lake just finished fighting Zhuri Mountain, it can't be that soon, can it?"
"I'm afraid someone will instigate things. Wangyue Lake and Zhuri Mountain are inherently mortal enemies, and the war has never stopped. What's wrong with another one?"
Shenxian'er listened, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
'Your Majesty, how strong are these celestial beings? Are they your match?'
[Like a clay chicken or a clay dog, it falls apart at the slightest touch.]
The fairy was skeptical.
She didn't want to doubt the god's strength, but she also knew that those who could "play chess" together had to be of similar strength, otherwise one side would have overturned the chessboard long ago.
