Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

The Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan departed from the Lock Dragon Abyss.

The dead silent atmosphere vanished in an instant, and the surroundings rapidly became "lively".

Various large fish swam to and fro in the Black Water, looking leisurely and content.

At this moment, they seemed to perceive something, and suddenly fled in panic.

In the blink of an eye, they had all disappeared without a trace.

Xu Changqing keenly perceived the abnormality, therefore he vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

He soon discovered that a turbulent current was rushing toward the left side of the ship.

Because the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan possesses a top-tier "Water Avoidance" effect, it was not affected in the slightest.

But faintly, it seemed some colossal entity was approaching, and at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing immediately became alert, and simultaneously mobilized all three types of Spiritual Power — Wood, Fire, and Earth — in his Qi Sea, his whole person entering a combat state.

Not long after, accompanied by the sound of rushing water "hua la la".

In the Black Water, a massive shadow slowly emerged; it was actually a sunfish a full several zhang in length.

Its flattened body resembled a moving small hill; its dark gray fish skin was rough and covered in lumps, each protrusion growing sharp bone spurs, its surface coated with a layer of green slime.

Especially its eyes, gleaming with a dark green light, like two jumping ghost fires, the pupils strange vertical pupils.

Its gaze was quite complex.

It held both the greed of seeing food, and a trace of cunning.

Facing this scene, Xu Changqing couldn't help but blurt out: "Fish Yao?!"

The first time he ran into a Fish Yao, that fellow had this exact same look in its eyes.

Although the two sides' body types were different, their eyes were cast from the same mold.

From this it could be seen, this was a Fish Yao of massive build.

He had originally thought there were only large fish in this stretch of Black Water, no danger.

Now it appears, it was merely good luck upon entry that he hadn't run into any.

The next second, the sunfish opened its massive mouth, revealing dense, sawtooth-like sharp teeth, each tooth as thick as a child's arm, and spat out a string of black water bubbles from inside.

The massive fins merely swayed slightly, and the surrounding currents instantly formed a surging vortex.

Judging by this posture, it intends to make a move.

Xu Changqing's expression remained normal; facing this massive Fish Yao he did not panic, immediately piloting the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan to align the direction, then infusing his own Fire Spiritual Power into the Ship Bow Dragon Horn.

Inside the spiral groove, green flame light kept jumping, growing ever more intense.

The entire hull began to tremble slightly, as if containing terrifying might.

This Fish Yao acted as if it hadn't perceived it, charging over with its mouth wide open.

Xu Changqing saw this, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly: "Better to come at the right time than just come; let me try this Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan's Dragon Flame Breath.

Fire!"

Boom!

The hull violently trembled, then the Dragon Horn erupted with dazzling green flame light.

Like a Dragon's Breath, wherever it passed the Black Water evaporated, in a blink striking the Fish Yao with its mouth open, directly plunging into it.

The Fish Yao's body, not yet having drawn near, stiffened, its gaze instantly turning dull; the flesh on its back suddenly split, accompanied by a "si la" sound, a massive blood hole appearing.

Flesh, blood, internal organ fragments and such things continuously flowed out from within.

It had originally still wanted to swallow Xu Changqing and the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan, but after this one strike, the greed in its pupils turned to terror.

It hesitated not in the slightest, turning and fleeing toward the other side.

Though injured, its water-commanding ability was still not bad.

With a whoosh, it fled a very far distance, quickly escaping the range of the Dragon Flame Breath.

Xu Changqing certainly did not intend to let this fellow go, immediately activating the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan's second ability, turning semi-transparent in a hidden state.

Moreover, not only the whole ship, but even the people and items on it became so as well.

In the blink of an eye, whether Xu Changqing or the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan, both vanished into thin air, nearly invisible in the Black Water, not a shred of movement.

The Fish Yao thought it had shaken him off, lingering fear in its heart as it swam toward its nest.

Little did it know, Xu Changqing piloted the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan, silently following behind it.

Unknown how long passed, ahead a massive cave entrance suddenly appeared, the surroundings littered with undigested fish remains, dense beyond counting.

Xu Changqing secretly thought: "Looks like they were all eaten by this Fish Yao, just don't know if there are any of its kind inside?"

Doesn't matter either way.

Judging from the current situation, this Fish Yao cannot withstand the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan's Dragon Flame Breath.

Three shots at most can finish it off.

And the Fire Spiritual Power in my Qi Sea can roughly support five shots.

If combined with Wood Spiritual Power, it should increase to seven shots.

Even if there are two Fish Yao, they can still be easily dealt with.

Therefore, Xu Changqing piloted the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan, just like that following this Fish Yao bit by bit into this cave.

Inside it wasn't complex at all, the passage quite straight, almost no twists and turns.

After all, this fish demon was itself a large-bodied ocean sunfish, and if the environment inside the nest was extremely complex, getting in and out would likely be a problem.

Extending all the way, constantly delving deeper.

Finally, a huge space appeared ahead.

The heavily injured fish demon quickly approached a palm-sized seashell.

A weak demonic power was released, and soon a deep blue glimmer bloomed inside.

Instantly, the originally injured parts began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Want to recover?"

"Not a chance!"

About ten meters away, the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan suddenly appeared.

The fish demon that was originally healing its injuries was so scared its body trembled.

Before it could make any move, green flame light erupted violently.

The terrifying might caused the surrounding water currents to surge along with it.

Then they evaporated in an instant.

With a single strike it smashed the fish demon's head to pieces, even blasting a ferocious crack in the stone wall behind it, showing just how terrifying the power was.

Once the fish demon died, with no demonic power to drive it, the deep blue glimmer inside the seashell gradually dimmed.

Xu Zhangqing controlled the Yao Long Shui Shui Chuan to approach, while swallowing it and examining this thing.

Inside was a mass of water.

It looked extremely pure, without a trace of impurity, and one could feel the rich Water Spirit Qi.

Xu Zhangqing soon remembered: "This... seems to be Liquid Water Essence, right?"

Water, when pure to the extreme, becomes Water Essence.

Below Golden Core Stage, drinking it raises one by a Small Realm.

If one has a Water Spiritual Root, it can also reshape the Spiritual Root together.

If used to refine Spirit Tools or Magic Tools, adding it grants the effects of automatically absorbing surrounding Water Spirit Qi and autonomously repairing itself.

Xu Zhangqing was about to put it away when he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye and immediately looked over.

Only to see that in a corner on the Left Side, a small tree was actually growing.

Its shape was like coral, but not quite the same.

On it grew a fist-sized fruit, its skin crystal clear and translucent, faintly revealing pale blue juice flowing inside.

If Xu Zhangqing's memory was not wrong, this should be called "Water Spirit Fruit."

After consuming it, not only can it rapidly recover expended Spiritual Power, but it can also wash away impurities in the Meridians and improve the cultivation speed of Water Attribute Techniques.

Moreover, it is also the main material for refining Water Spiritual Root Foundation Establishment Pills!
