Chapter 345: Very Idealistic As soon as she entered the market, Xu Hui saw...
As soon as she stepped into the market, Xu Hui saw an unprecedented fantastic and magnificent scene: fish were swimming in the sky, and under the blue sky and white clouds was the clear sea water, rhythmically moving in a wonderful way.
The ground beneath your feet is normal, made of corals and shells, forming a long and wide corridor. On both sides are suspended various pavilions and towers of different heights, arranged in an orderly manner.
Small fish emitting colorful light shuttle through the building. In the sunlight, they are like beautiful ribbons, illuminating the buildings that are either connected or staggered, forming a layered and spacious beauty.
This is an underwater world, yet it also resembles the normal world.
Although they were in the sea, they could not feel the buoyancy brought by the sea water. What's more, wherever they went, it seemed as if the sea water was flowing around them, leaving a vacuum zone just for them.
Looking at the huge and bizarre sea fish overhead, Xu Hui truly gained new insights. "How did they do that?"
There is no clear boundary between humans and the sea, as if they are marine creatures and can breathe normally in water.
"You can think of this as the mirage world of the Mirage Clan," Venerable Jiang Li said, leisurely stepping on a seashell. A jug of wine had appeared in his hand, and he drank it leisurely. "The Mirage Clan excels at creating illusions of all kinds. This is the city they created. It's a blend of reality and illusion. What you see may not be real, and what you don't see may not exist."
"So the mirage marrow you mentioned is something that cannot be seen but exists?" Xu Hui murmured.
It turns out that the world of cultivation is like this. It is so beautiful and dreamy.
It seemed... that traveling through time was not a loss, even if she was still cannon fodder. But being able to experience such a world, she suddenly felt that she was luckier than Fang Tiantian, and the depression caused by her death suddenly dissipated.
"Indeed, the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow is the crystallization of the Mirage Clan's power. It has a restrictive effect on them, so a living Mirage Clan member cannot give the Mirage Light Condensed Marrow to others. However, after they die, this thing will disappear and exist in the realm of illusion, making it unattainable."
"Then how can I find it?" Xu Hui saw a small red fish the size of a palm circling around her, always trying to get close to her. She couldn't help but reach out and touch its crystal-like head.
Suddenly, the crystal turned into foam and disappeared. Xu Hui was shocked. "Is it fake?"
"It's real," Venerable Jiangli glanced at it casually, "A fake one wouldn't take the initiative to get close to humans."
The fake ones were created by the Mirage Clan. They can’t say they hate humans, but they definitely don’t like humans.
"Then it..." How come it just vanished after a touch? Is it that fragile?
Venerable Jiangli said, "It likes you, which is rare."
Venerable Jiang Li looked her up and down, quite surprised. "Even if you have an affinity for plants, it's impossible for you to be liked by the Ren Water Essence, unless you have another constitution."
"Ah? Does it count as cannon fodder?" Xu Hui muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing?" Xu Hui smiled. She was no longer cannon fodder. She knew that her fate was in her own hands from beginning to end, and she would not be affected by the fate of so-called cannon fodder at all. "What is Renshui Essence? Is it related to Renshui Essence?"
"Yes and no. The essence of Renshui is the purest spiritual fluid in the deep sea, and the essence of Renshui is a deep-sea spirit. One is dead, the other is living. We can use the former to make elixirs, but as for the latter, it's best not to touch them, as it will offend all marine life."
"What if I just killed one?"
"Follow it, it will lead you to what you want," Wei Mubai said suddenly.
"Ah?" Who is he following? Isn't the essence of Renshui dead?
Xu Hui was puzzled and looked around, but she didn't see the little red fish!
"It may not be a small fish. It is somewhere between reality and illusion, and can change into various forms. It can be anything you see. Follow your heart. The Ren Water Essence likes you and will guide you."
Xu Hui didn’t understand, but was shocked. Is it so idealistic?
She was at a loss, yet eager to try. She glanced around and suddenly saw a beautiful kite in front of her. It seemed to have some beautiful paintings on it, and it looked very lively.
She wanted to see it more clearly, so she took a few steps forward. When she got closer, she found that the painting was of a large shell, all pink, opening and closing, as if there was a large pink pearl.
I immediately looked around and saw a stall in a large attic on the left, which was filled with these shells.
With a light leap, she floated up and stood in front of the stall. Looking down, she saw dozens of pink shells of all sizes. She immediately took a fancy to a medium-sized one at the edge. "How much is this?"
"Three bottles of third-level pills," the girl who had originally lowered her head in front of the stall suddenly raised her head. She had snake-like eyes, a face full of scales, and her ears were like flashing fish fins.
It's a sea monster!
They evolved from sea beasts, but are different from ordinary sea beasts. They are intelligent and can practice cultivation. Their strength is divided according to their species. Like the Mirage Clan, they are considered an intelligent race in the ocean, but their natural strength is not as strong as that of the Mirage Clan, and they are their vassals.
This sea monster girl is not ugly, it’s just that she hasn’t practiced enough and hasn’t been able to completely hide her fish-like features.
She spoke slowly, with bubbles coming out of her mouth from time to time, and it was obvious that she was not used to speaking like that.
What kind do you want?" Xu Hui took out a dozen bottles of different kinds and asked her to choose.
The sea monster girl's eyes lit up, and she quickly rolled all the medicine bottles from her hands. Then she pushed all the shells in front of her, jumped up, passed straight through the attic roof, jumped into the sky, and quickly turned into a big fish and disappeared among the fish.
It actually looks a bit like the legendary Kun!
Xu Hui: ...
Was she being forced into a sale?
Venerable Jiang Li chuckled, "My Wei family's elixir is the favorite of sea creatures, and it is difficult to find a thousand pearls."
Well, in Mirage Island transactions, payment is made with pearls, and they have to be the finest pearls from the seabed.
If you don't have any, you can exchange materials for pearls.
"What about these?" Xu Hui looked at the pile of shells hesitantly.
"Here are Kakabei, a favorite snack of Mirage Clan cubs. They contain a soft, elastic bead that's so tough that even the Mirage Clan's powerful teeth can't break it. It makes a crisp, pleasant sound. Once inside a Mirage Clan member, it stays there for a month before transforming into essence to nourish their bodies."
Xu Hui seemed to be thinking about something, "Are you asking me to use these to please the Mirage Clan cubs?"
"Perhaps, you can try it," Venerable Jiangli said with a smile, and suddenly felt that taking her along was an extremely correct decision.
She was actually able to buy Kakabe, which is not something that anyone can easily pick. In the extremely hidden and dangerous sea area, only the powerful mirage tribe and some sea monsters dare to enter.
The fish scales on the girl's face hadn't completely disappeared, yet she had such strength, and he even gave her all the third-level pills, which were not the most valuable.
Xu Hui nodded, took out a small knife, and tried to pry it open to find the beads inside.
"No need," Venerable Jiang Li reminded, "You knock on it. If the rhythm is right, it will open by itself. The Kakabei is very strong. If it doesn't want to, no one can open it. But the girl sold it to you. According to the rules of the ocean, you can open it."
"What are the rules of the ocean?" Xu Hui was curious.
"The strong prey on the weak. The weak must obey the will of the strong. If they are allowed to be food, they must be food!"
"Uh," Xu Hui was speechless. She stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment. "Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
She didn't know why she knocked like that, she just thought it was fun, unconsciously.
The kind of clam she liked actually opened its shell, revealing the transparent flesh inside.
Yes, it was actually transparent. She reached out and touched it, and it turned into water and spread away, wrapping around her fingers, soft and refreshing.
Her fingers suddenly turned into transparent crystal. Xu Hui was startled and immediately pulled them out, only to find that they had returned to their original state.
"Don't be afraid. After the Kaka shell meat turns into water, it can indeed turn everything into crystal. But it's still alive. It's just an illusion. It is a water spirit without a specific form. It won't die easily." Wei Mubai comforted, "See those pink beads over there? Take them out. It will be grateful to you."
Xu Hui saw that they were distributed in every corner. When she put her fingers into them, they turned into crystals again, but they were flexible and not affected at all.
I pinched a bead between two fingers and found it was indeed very chewy, a bit like the pearls in milk tea.
With a gentle pull, the bead came off with a "pop" sound, and the water transformed from the shellfish meat actually moved and circled around her finger.
Is this happy?
Xu Hui thought uncertainly and followed the same method to pull out the remaining beads.
The shellfish water suddenly shot out high, spread to her entire arm, and turned into crystal.
Xu Hui pulled her hand back suddenly, and returned to normal again, she breathed a sigh of relief. In her hand were eight beads of different sizes, very beautiful, pink and transparent beads, as if water was flowing inside.
"These eight are the ones you chose yourself. They are different from the others, so pack them separately," Wei Mubai reminded.
Xu Hui nodded, cracked open other shells, and pulled out the beads inside. She harvested more than 300 beads of various sizes. There was one largest shell that had more than 50 beads inside, which was incredible.
When she finished cleaning, all the shells flew up, circled around her, and disappeared in a flash.
Xu Hui widened her eyes slightly. Although she knew they were alive, she was still shocked by this scene.
"What to do now?" she inquired.
"Since this is a snack that the Mirage Clan cubs like, then let's go to Yuanze. That's where the cubs gather. But none of us knows where Yuanze is, so you need to find it yourself."
The Mirage Tribe is different from humans. Their cubs will not stay with their parents, but will be placed in the abyss. The Mirage Tribe will regularly put food in there, and they need to fight for it themselves in order to eat and grow up.
It is said that Yuanze is in the virtual realm of the Mirage Clan's treasure. It is difficult for outsiders to find it, and even if they find it, they cannot enter unless they have a special opportunity.
"Another opportunity," Xu Hui always felt that the Mirage Clan gave her the impression that they loved to create some unreal and unreal things, which were not real and very idealistic.
Does this mean that Yuanze is actually everywhere and does not need a specific entrance?
She suddenly looked up at the sky and whispered, "Which one is you? Or why don't you just open the entrance to Yuanze for me?"
Venerable Jiangli looked at her in surprise. Are you so lazy? You don't even bother looking for it?
