Chapter 141

Cold Water Marsh

"We're here, we're here, the Cold Rain Marsh is here."

"If you want to go to Lone Boat Anchorage, you can fly south for three days! I have a wish-power guide here, only twenty spirit jades!"

"Where is the Yaoshan Market? Is the geomagnetism here a bit chaotic?"

"Is this the Cold Rain Marsh?"

I saw a vast marsh, filling everything in sight on the horizon. Looking around, there were no mountains, as if I had come to the vast ocean. But the water area was unusually calm, reflecting the sky, as if there were two blue skies, connected up and down. What's more, the sky seemed to bend sharply in the north. Looking north, it was a bright mirror, reflecting the scenery of where they came from. Looking closely, I realized that the water surface was actually flowing to the horizon here, straight into the clouds. The water surface was calm and waveless. If it weren't for the fact that Foundation Establishment cultivators already have a certain level of eyesight, it would be difficult to distinguish where this water mirror that connects the sky and the earth starts and where it goes. Only the crystal blue sky and cloud-like clouds were spread out in all directions. Between this water and sky, the only strange objects were the boats in mid-air, and the floating docks where the boats were moored. It was like sesame seeds gathered next to rice grains, and the people at the bow of the boat were like dust on the sesame seeds.

The people of the Shangqing Sect were waiting for mooring near the dock, and were also enjoying the scenery of the desperate situation. Since half a month ago, the magic boat had already flown into the water area. This trip was almost all along the river. Although the river was surging and there was no lack of wide places, because the flying boat flew very high, they could still see the scenery on both sides. Half a month ago, it could be considered to have sailed into the lake, and they could no longer see the shore on either side. Ruan Ci had curiously asked Qi Yueying how to find the way like this, and learned that the flying boat could identify the direction according to the geomagnetism. At this time, when they arrived at the floating dock outside the Cold Rain Marsh, they realized that every desperate place had its own mysteries.

Qi Yueying brought a large number of people on this trip. The servant driving the boat beside her also took the opportunity to say, "Although there is no production here, it naturally became a floating market dock because when you arrive at this place, because it is close to the far north of the Central Continent, the geomagnetism is already a bit chaotic, and there are no references around, only a mirror-like water area. Over time, it naturally generates lost miasma. If a cultivator flies alone, in the water and sky, there is only himself and his reflection, it is very easy to lose his direction, and even be confused by the reflection, falling into a natural illusion, and even unable to cast spells, falling into the water."

This dock floated high in the sky, far away from the marsh. Qi Yueying flew forward and summoned a stream from the mirror-like water wall. Hearing the creaking sound, it was endless. The water column that probed out was immediately frozen into an ice stick. Everyone couldn't help but marvel. The old servant smiled, "This Cold Rain Marsh, also called Cold Water Marsh, is just because there is a lot of cold water in the far north, and there are many Cold Water Marshes, so cultivators gradually changed the name later. However, this marsh is still the largest cold water lake in the far north, and the quality of the cold water essence here is also top-notch. Even this ordinary cold water, if you can fill a pot and take it to those fire-element places, you can also sell it at a high price. Many merchant teams specialize in trading between the two places, selling cold water in fire-element places and coal essence stones in the far north."

Although cultivators are not afraid of cold and heat, the weather here is indeed very cold. Ruan Ci had a childish whim, conjured fur on the collar and cuffs of her magic robe, and also put two white velvet earmuffs on her ears. She exhaled a white breath and smiled, "This cold water is water in the lake, and becomes ice when it leaves the water. Question: is the water colder or the air colder?"

Ruan Rong said, "If you fall into the lake, won't you understand?"

She took off the ice stick, used her spiritual power to turn it into cold water again, and saw a clear spring, glowing in her palm, rippling slightly, seeming to be a little thicker than ordinary clear water, faintly revealing cold air. Ruan Ci reached out to take it, tasted it for a moment, and smiled, "So the water is colder. It's so cold that the water is not too cold yet, and it can't freeze."

Qi Yueying is a Golden Core cultivator, her spiritual sense is naturally stronger than theirs. After a sweep, she smiled and nodded, "In this Cold Water Marsh, I'm afraid there is a trace of freezing law, so the freezing point in the water is lower, which is the truth that Little Martial Aunt said."

The old servant driving the boat also cast an appreciative look at Ruan Ci, saying, "Not bad. So after the two young ladies enter the marsh, you must be careful about the cold water invading your body. When you come up from the water to find the way back to the dock, you must also be careful not to be confused by this miasma. Foundation Establishment cultivators' bodies are not strong enough. If you fall into the water, you may be frostbitten."

Although Ruan Ci grew up in the Song Kingdom since she was a child, she traveled with Wang Panpan to the South Zhuzhou when she was young, and had many dreams. Although it was just a glimpse, she had traveled through the customs of various countries. Among Foundation Establishment cultivators, she could be considered well-informed. The North Huzhou, South Chongzhou, and South Zhuzhou, although they also have many dangerous situations and many places where few people go, do not have as many miasma places as the Central Continent. It is simply that where there is no great array, there are different miasmas everywhere, and the methods of avoiding miasma are different. Miasma-avoiding charms cannot be used universally, which makes people feel very inconvenient. Hearing that this reflection of water and sky can breed lost miasma, she couldn't help but sigh, "Do I have to learn that miasma-avoiding spell again? And what is that wish-power guide?"

The old servant said, "There is no spell to avoid this miasma. Just keep your spiritual platform clear. Even if the miasma enters your body, it's nothing more than falling into the water. It's no big deal in this Zhou Tian."

Qi Yueying smiled, "So to speak, what happens in other great heavens?"

The old servant smiled without saying a word. Ruan Ci said, "I guess if it's those great heavens that are not well-guarded, this kind of virtual shadow relative, if a cultivator loses his mind, he may be possessed by a heavenly demon, and use this to rely on, turning the cultivator into a shadow, and the heavenly demon becomes the cultivator's body."

Qi Yueying and Ruan Rong had not thought of this point, and were surprised when they heard it. The old servant cheered loudly, "Miss Ci is really intelligent. Not bad. I heard that in the outside great heavens, you really have to guard against heavenly demons hiding in virtual numbers and taking advantage of the situation. It's just that our Langhuan Zhou Tian doesn't know how many years no outsiders have entered, so there are no such things passed down. Unexpectedly, Miss Ci can deduce it, which shows her talent."

Qi Yueying gave the old servant a wink. The old servant was slightly startled, obviously unable to understand, and still praised Ruan Ci loudly. Ruan Rong smiled slightly. Ruan Ci saw it in her eyes, and knew that this old man was probably a monster, and was not yet proficient in human affairs. She said, "I have traveled a lot outside, and I also know some magic sect disciples, so I naturally know more. If I think about it myself, I will understand."

She asked again, "Old man is..."

The old servant puffed out his chest and smiled, "I am the spirit of the magic bead that my master carried with him in the past. My master took me all over the world, and I have gained some knowledge because of it."

Although spirit tools are rare, they are not unpopular in this universe. Qingjun is a divine tool spirit who attained the Dao, but she was originally a universe-level spirit treasure, held by the Dao Ancestor. Ordinary spirit tools do not have such a starting point, and whether a magic tool is a spirit has nothing to do with its rank. It depends on the master's refining layers, as well as the hard work poured into it and the number of times it is used. The higher the rank of the spirit treasure, the harder it is to give birth to a spirit. Generally, if a magic tool or magic treasure gives birth to a spirit, its value will increase a hundredfold or thousandfold, because the spirit's cultivation is equivalent to refining the magic treasure itself, which can help the body improve its rank. However, even so, few people trade spirit tools, because they are often loyal to their masters, and once abandoned, they are very likely to die of depression. Ruan Ci did not expect that this old servant was actually a magic bead spirit, so she couldn't help but look at him highly, and smiled, "So it is the beloved treasure carried by the Martial Uncle. Disrespect, no wonder you are so knowledgeable and so familiar with geography."

The old servant smiled, "I also feel very close to Miss Ci—"

He wanted to continue, but Ruan Rong frowned and said, "Uncle Tu, you haven't answered Miss Ci's question yet. What is this wish-power guide?"

The servants heard this, and their expressions were different. Qi Yueying also seemed to have some understanding in her heart. Uncle Tu was startled, but did not refute Ruan Rong. He changed the subject and said, "Because the geomagnetism here is chaotic, and there are no objects for reference, the Yaoshan Sect near this Cold Rain Marsh ordered disciples to spread wish-power seeds at this dock. This wish is to guide those who get the seeds to the Yaoshan Market. It is specially issued by the market clerks. Because the wish is very strong, and there is no other spiritual sense to disturb the wish-power here, cultivators who get the guide will be led to the Yaoshan Market unknowingly if they carefully capture the causal connection between the guide and the wish owner. At that time, half of the spirit jade will be returned. Therefore, the guide is sold for twenty spirit jades here, which is actually the price of ten spirit jades."

Everyone heard this and was stunned, but after thinking about it, it made sense. Ruan Ci smiled, "What if a cultivator buys a guide and runs into the Cold Water Marsh and dies inside? After the wish cultivator makes a great wish, if the wish is not fulfilled, his cultivation will not be able to advance an inch for the rest of his life. Doesn't that clerk not practice anymore?"

Uncle Tu smiled, "So most of these guides are made by cultivators who have given up on the Dao. This is also one of the ways for them to improve their cultivation. If such an unlucky thing really happens, then just admit it."

Customs vary from place to place, and even a small guide has such fresh stories. Ruan Rong heard it and found it interesting. She beckoned the peddler to come over, bought a guide, and smiled, "After we come out of the Cold Water Marsh, let's go to the Yaoshan Market to see and ask them to do our business."

Ruan Ci felt it was inappropriate, frowned slightly, but didn't speak. She happened to look to one side and saw a group of people on the magic boat beside her, surrounding a tall girl with a sick look, also listening to them. Seeing Ruan Ci looking over, she smiled slightly at her, arched her hands and saluted, and turned to walk to the dock. Ruan Ci couldn't help but make a face at her back and hummed, "Is it so blatant to eavesdrop on people talking?"

Everyone was talking and laughing without involving secrets, so they didn't set up a sound-insulation array. However, when cultivators talk, their voices are naturally restrained, and it is difficult to drift into other people's ears unless they listen carefully. Only Ruan Ci said this deliberately loudly. The girl turned her head and looked over, her face still carrying a mysterious smile. The two looked at each other for a while. The girl suddenly pulled down her eyelids, spat out her long tongue, and in an instant, her eyeballs burst out, her face was covered with bloodstains, she made a face at her, and her long tongue trembled, making many strange noises!

Ruan Ci was startled and said "uh", and Qi Yueying couldn't help but frown in surprise, stepped forward to cover Ruan Ci and Ruan Rong behind her. The girl then returned to her original form, smiled at Ruan Ci with mockery, and turned away. Uncle Tu looked at the magic boat that was still staying in place, turned to everyone and said, "That is a person from the Taiwei Gate."

The Taiwei disciples were so naughty and mischievous, which was also unexpected. Ruan Rong was startled first, and after coming back to her senses, she couldn't stop laughing. She returned to the boat and said to Ruan Ci, "You have been compared."

Ruan Ci also asked herself that although she was lawless, she was not so childish. She shook her head and sighed, "Each generation has its own talents."

She added, "This is also good. She probably thinks that our sisters are not in harmony. If she has the intention to target us, she will use this to make a fuss."

A look of relief appeared on Ruan Rong's face, and she smiled, "Between our sisters, the tacit understanding is still not reduced."

She didn't let Uncle Tu continue, naturally not because she didn't want to see Uncle Tu praise Ruan Ci, but because there was another reason. In fact, Qi Yueying had worried before that Uncle Tu's praise of Ruan Ci would make Ruan Rong unhappy, which was a bit too much worry. Rong and Ci had been compared by their family since they were young, and this matter had become a knot in Ruan Rong's mother's heart, so she was very familiar with these things. For Ruan Ci, she was just naughty and not competitive. Ruan Rong was also clever since she was young and felt that many things were much more important than competing for everything. Qi Yueying looked down on Ruan Rong, and Ruan Ci also knew that her sister must have a reason for not letting Uncle Tu continue, it was just inconvenient to mention it outside.

As for the guide, Ruan Rong wanted to buy it just because she didn't take the Cold Rain Marsh trip too seriously, with the safety of the three as the first priority. Seeing Ruan Ci didn't like it, she asked at this time, "Tell me honestly, is there anything you must take in the Cold Rain Marsh this time?"

Ruan Ci said, "The Cold Rain Flower King is naturally a must-have. There are also some reasons, but it is not easy to say clearly. I am mostly guessing. This trip may be dangerous, and after coming out, it may not be possible to go to the Yaoshan Market. Although they are cultivators who have given up on the Dao, there is no need to take his cultivation so lightly and get involved in unnecessary cause and effect."

Ruan Rong nodded, "This is my shallow thinking."

She called the servant, handed the guide over, and said, "You take a few people to the Yaoshan Market to see. If there is any rare spirit tea, buy a jar for Miss Ci."

She also raised her eyebrows and looked at Ruan Ci, saying, "Why do you love drinking tea?"

Ruan Ci knew that her buying tea at the Wugou market had attracted Ruan Rong's attention. She said righteously, "This is for my master. It's rare for Sister to go out, don't you buy some souvenirs to please the Sect Master Martial Uncle?"

Ruan Rong was unmoved and said, "Cultivating well is the greatest filial piety to the master. Only disobedient disciples in daily life need to come up with various tricks to please the master."

She sent Ruan Ci away, "Since you want to be filial to your benefactor, it's better to buy it yourself with sincerity. Go to the dock and stroll around, and let me be quiet for a while." As for herself, as a sword envoy, in this Cold Rain Marsh where cultivators gather, she naturally stays behind closed doors and will not step out of the magic boat easily.

Ruan Ci knew that her sister wanted her to relax, so she felt a bit shy. She was driven out of the quiet room by Ruan Rong, and then she greeted Qi Yueying and wanted to go down to the boat to stroll.

Qi Yueying had never dared to point out Ruan Ci's actions, and did not object at this time, but pointed out two taciturn servants to follow her. Ruan Ci said, "No need for this. I have my own spirit pet with me, and I won't be without the power to fight back."

She was thinking that Wang Panpan had been hiding in the spirit beast bag all the way, which was inevitably suffocating. Knowing that it didn't dare to show its face in front of the Sect Master's lineage, she took this opportunity to let it come out to relax. Qi Yueying hesitated, but still followed the order with difficulty. Ruan Ci jumped onto the dock. After walking through a street, she let Wang Panpan out. Wang Panpan ran hundreds of laps on the ground chasing its tail, then jumped onto Ruan Ci's shoulder, and meowed loudly in her ear, "Go! Let's go to the restaurant to eat cold water fish. The colder the water area, the more delicious the spirit fish. If it weren't for me, you would miss how much delicious food!"

Ruan Ci bent down and touched it a few times. Wang Panpan stood on her shoulder, looking at the people coming and going with pride. One person and one cat walked all the way, which was quite eye-catching. Ruan Ci told it about what she saw on the road, and also deliberately talked about the Wugou Sect.

Wang Panpan was also surprised when it heard Ruan Ci talk about it. Its green eyes turned around, saying nothing, just thinking. After a while, when it was about to speak, its expression suddenly moved, and it turned its head and said, "Why did the Taiwei Gate send him out..."

In this field of momentum, there are naturally many Golden Core cultivators' spiritual pressure. Ruan Ci didn't know the spiritual opportunity, so she naturally didn't know who those spiritual pressures represented. Wang Panpan said so, it seems that the Taiwei Gate sent a famous person. She asked urgently, "Who is it, who is it?"

She remembered the ghost-faced girl she met just now, and hurriedly said to Wang Panpan, "I just met a very naughty girl from the Taiwei Gate—"

Before she finished speaking, she bumped into a familiar aura. A beautiful woman smiled and said, "Oh? Is there anyone in the world who can be naughtier than our lady?"

Ruan Ci was happy and smiled, "Husband, why are you here—and you turned into a woman!"
