Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Ruo Qunshuang mused, "Father said back then that this thing is kept in a Cold Jade Box.

As for the specific location, he didn't mention it clearly, so we can only search slowly."

The two separated, searching everywhere for the clam shells containing the Cold Jade Box.

These clam shells were each huge, arranged neatly in rows.

Moreover, each of them contained a small space, capable of storing more things.

Not only that, clam shells from different areas had different patterns on them.

If one didn't observe carefully, the differences among them simply couldn't be discovered.

Ruo Qunshuang examined them one by one, muttering, "Not this one... not this one either..."

Because she couldn't remember exactly which one it was, she could only check them one by one.

A full quarter of an hour passed before she stopped at the most corner position.

The clam shell before her was slightly smaller, but the patterns on it were distinct from the rest.

It looked even more complex, and there was an additional trigger mechanism.

In the Jiuqu Sect, only special things would be treated this way.

Ruo Qunshuang's face revealed joy as she called out, "Qing Ge, it should be right here!"

Xu Zhangqing rushed over at the sound, his Divine Sense probing and discovering that there was indeed a Cold Jade Box inside.

He then opened them one by one, beginning to search for the Water Flea eggs.

The things inside the Cold Jade Boxes were mostly very small and few, appearing even more precious.

Even for safety's sake, a layer of silver-white velvet was laid inside.

Searching one after another, after who knows how many, they actually found it.

A palm-sized Cold Jade Box, its surface shimmering with a hazy glow, emitting a cold, Yin aura.

And three uniquely shaped Water Flea eggs lay quietly inside just like that.

Faintly, one could even sense a trace of life fluctuation within them.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself, "Although there are only three, it's enough for me to go Yin River Fishing."

After all, the things that can fish out Yin Beasts are not limited to Water Flea eggs.

In fact, anything related to Taiyin can be used as bait.

Next, the two discussed a bit and decided to only take away a portion of the resources.

Since the Treasure Vault is fine, that means the Spiritual Arrays and Restrictions are still more or less normal.

Rather than taking everything away, leaving only an empty shell, and then abandoning it completely.

It's better to have a cunning rabbit's three burrows, keeping a hidden card here.

And the Polluted Spirit Water is the best "bodyguard" right now.

Therefore, they only took away a portion of Spirit Stones, all the Cultivation Methods and spells, as well as the rarer Spiritual Treasures.

Such as the Taiyin Flower, Cold Water Ganoderma, etc.

Also the Shui Po Stone, Ice Silkworm Silk, etc.

The rest, especially things temporarily not needed, they didn't move a single one.

Of course, before leaving they also repaired the Spiritual Arrays and Restrictions a bit.

Xu Zhangqing utilized his understanding of Spiritual Arrays and Feng Shui, deliberately making modifications to a certain degree, making the Wan Shui Gui Liu Array even more solid.

In this way, the probability of an accident becomes even lower.

Then the two flew out of the Polluted Spirit Water and began returning by the original route.

About three double-hours later, the two who were flying suddenly heard a clamor coming from below.

At first they didn't pay much mind, until Magic Tool fluctuations appeared, mixed with the voices of mortals, only then did it attract their attention.

Xu Zhangqing faintly felt it was not ordinary: "Go down and take a look."

Ruo Qunshuang nodded in agreement: "Okay."

The two descended, landing on a mountainside, concealing their auras to look down.

Only to see on the official road below, a vast and mighty procession was parading.

The scene was grand to an extent simply far surpassing imagination.

The procession stretched for several li; at the very front were twelve pure snow-white "Cloud-patterned Immortal Deer", golden bells hanging from their antler forks.

Each one emitted a faint Spiritual Energy, and as they walked the bell sounds were clear and melodious.

They had obviously been meticulously tamed, their steps neat and uniform, their bearing elegant to the extreme.

Behind the Immortal Deer were thirty-six white-robed cultivators.

Each had condensed breath, all possessing Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.

The people on the left all held Judgment Brushes in their hands.

The people on the right all held Books of Life and Death in their hands.

Such a group clustered around a white sedan chair.

And the ones carrying the sedan were neither cultivators nor mortals, but lifelike Paper Men.

Inside the sedan chair sat a person faintly, their specific features and gender indistinguishable.

Judging from the Qi fluctuations emanating from this person, he has absolutely reached the Golden Core Stage.

A flagpole stands atop the sedan chair, embroidered with the two characters "Wu Sheng".

The flag flutters in the wind, flashing a hazy halo of light.

A large number of mortals follow in lockstep, their faces full of reverence.

Any cultivator who approaches is driven away by the white-robed people.

Only mortals are an exception; on the contrary, they are accepted and tolerated.

They advance while chanting slogans:

"Wu Sheng Wu Mie!"

"Fei Zeng Fei Jian!"

"Bu Gou Bu Jing!"

Where the procession passes, a faint white light ripples.

Those covered by it see their suffering dissipate, each and every one revitalized in spirit.

Xu Changqing sees this and frowns: "Wu Sheng... could it be the Wu Sheng Chong Mu?"

Ruo Qunshuang's eyes reveal a vigilant look: "These people are not simple at first glance."

Xu Changqing's eyes flash: "It doesn't matter; anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

The two do not linger; moreover, Ruo Qunshuang is pregnant, so it is unwise to invite trouble.

After the procession moves far away, they immediately soar into the air, accelerating toward the Dongting Immortal Sect.

……

……

Upon returning to Hongfeng Valley, everything remains as before.

Xu Changqing handles Spirit Field affairs, while Ruo Qunshuang peacefully nurtures the fetus.

Unknowingly, a month passes, finally welcoming the night of the full moon.

Night falls, the moonlight clear and bright.

Silver radiance sprinkles the earth, as if a layer of white frost has been laid.

Xu Changqing left Hongfeng Valley during the day and appeared at Silver Light Cave in the evening.

Among the three avatars, only the female avatar is absent; Zhu Rong and Tai Bai are both present.

Especially Zhu Rong, who even brings a surprise.

It is actually a second piece of the Xuan Iron Token.

Xu Changqing takes it in hand to examine, asking curiously: "Where did this come from?"

Zhu Rong smiles: "I specially got it from Wan Niang."

When he first saw the first Xuan Iron Token, he found it familiar.

After returning and checking, it was indeed exactly the same.

The only difference is the location recorded on it.

It is not the Silver Light Cave they are in, but another place.

It is not even in the Eastern Region or Central Region, but in the distant Northern Domain.

Xu Changqing asks in puzzlement: "Did you go look for it?"

Zhu Rong shakes his head: "I didn't go; Wan Niang sent people to investigate."

Xu Changqing puts away the Xuan Iron Token and smiles: "Coincidentally, I have a surprise here too."

Finishing speaking, he immediately produces the Underground Water Map.

The two avatars glance at it and instantly discover the critical point within.

"You Ming Han Yuan?"

"Isn't this just Silver Light Cave and the Yin River?"

"And it's even more detailed than what Taiyin Jushi gave!"

As the main body, Xu Changqing can perceive the avatars' thoughts and emotions.

But the avatars cannot.

Therefore, they can only honestly examine the content on the map.

As a result, they are all shocked beyond measure.

Xu Changqing nods: "Memorize the map; later find a chance to scout it out. If it's true, we'll strike it rich."

After all, besides this Underground Water Map, there is also an Dongyu Water Map.

You must know, that one records in detail the locations and treasures of numerous Underwater Secret Realms.

Subsequently, they begin operating the Iron Ship, preparing to head to the first Cold Abyss Node to fish!
