753. Chapter 751 Water Demons and Those Sea Beasts May Be One of the Causes

As the external conflict intensified, the members of the South Chen Profound Heaven Sect decided to withdraw from this place.

After organization and arrangement, they boarded a huge flying vessel, preparing to set off for the new target—the Southern Continent.

The flying vessel slowly rose into the sky, gradually leaving the original location of the South Chen Profound Heaven Sect.

Everyone looked down at the land gradually receding below, and couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Although they had developed deep feelings for this land, for survival and development they had to advance toward the unknown Southern Continent.

However, as the flying vessel had just embarked on its journey, it encountered an attack by a group of sea beasts.

Huge sea beasts leapt up from the water, roaring as they launched a fierce attack on the flying vessel.

The cultivators aboard the flying vessel all rose to the challenge, controlling Fobao and immortal arts as they engaged in battle with the sea beasts.

In the fierce battle, blood spattered everywhere, the cultivators' robes were torn and they suffered many wounds.

Zi Xi'er and Lu Yuan stood side by side, coordinating closely in the aerial battle, using their respective immortal arts to restrain a huge beast.

Lu Yuan formed hand seals, and a bolt of lightning like a long dragon surged toward the giant beast, striking it with a boom.

The beast screamed as it fell to the ground, but quickly got back up.

Su Liyan stood at the prow of the flying vessel, waving her Ice Crystal Long Whip; ice shards flew, freezing the charging sea beasts into ice sculptures.

However, the sea beasts were always cunning and deceitful; just as it seemed she had gained the upper hand, a huge sea beast suddenly rose from the depths and dragged her down into the abyss.

At the critical moment, Lu Yuan unleashed the Five Elements Escape Armor Art, transforming his body into a meteor-like form.

He quickly made contact with Su Liyan, and with the aid of her cold jade ice shards, he also gained a boost.

He lunged at the ferocious sea beast again and unleashed a Thunderfire Sword attack.

A tail as hard as steel swept toward Lu Yuan; he blocked it with his sword posture and counterattacked.

The Thunderfire streaked across the sky, struck the sea beast and burst into dazzling light, blasting it into fragments.

Su Liyan broke free from the abyss, Lu Yuan helped her up, their gazes met, and they felt gratitude.

After enduring numerous twists and turns, the flying vessel finally reached the Southern Continent.

Everyone set foot on solid ground, looking up at the towering mountains and vast, boundless sea of the Southern Continent.

This unknown land, full of opportunity and challenge, awaited their exploration.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, sensing that the spiritual energy density on this land was far lower than expected.

Zi Xi'er walked to his side and lightly patted his shoulder: 'Water demons and those sea beasts may be one of the causes.'

'We should quickly explore the surrounding environment to find where spiritual energy is most concentrated.'

With the corpses of sea beasts floating on the sea surface, the cultivators aboard the flying vessel gasped, looking at each other with solemn expressions.

Although they had successfully defeated the sea beasts in this sea area, it also made them realize that the danger of the Southern Continent far exceeded their imagination.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, gradually feeling the strangeness and unease of this land.

As a cultivator, he had an extremely high demand for environments rich in spiritual energy, yet the Southern Continent before him did not give him the feeling he expected.

Su Liyan walked to Lu Yuan's side and lightly patted his shoulder: 'Perhaps the water demons and those sea beasts have caused the spiritual energy here to be thin.'

Lu Yuan nodded, inwardly agreeing with her explanation.

'We must quickly explore the surroundings to find areas where spiritual energy concentrates.'

Everyone's gaze gathered on Lu Yuan, full of expectation and trust.

As the person among them with the deepest cultivation and strongest strength, Lu Yuan naturally became everyone's leader.

He steadied his inner doubts and resolutely said: 'Let's first find a safe place to set up a temporary settlement, then act together.'

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lu Yuan led them in beginning the exploration of the Southern Continent.

The environment of the Southern Continent was vastly different from the South Chen Profound Heaven Sect they were familiar with; on this unknown land, they had to readapt and develop.

Along the way, Lu Yuan felt the reliance and trust of the cultivators around him, which made him feel a great sense of responsibility.

He understood that he could not disappoint everyone's expectations; in this unfamiliar and dangerous Southern Continent, only through unity and cooperation could they survive.

At sunset that day, everyone arrived at a valley where they could temporarily set up camp.

Although the spiritual energy here was thin, the flying vessel was so damaged that they could not leave.

Everyone busied themselves, building simple shelters in the valley and driving away some of the fierce beast tribes nearby.

At night, everyone gathered around the campfire to share experiences and feelings.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, meanwhile, stood aside and communicated quietly.

'Lu Yuan, your performance today was truly excellent.'

Su Liyan praised him with a pleased expression.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, humbly saying: 'I merely did my best; it is not solely my achievement.'

Su Liyan gave him a mild reproachful look: 'You're stubborn; you know your standing in everyone's hearts.'

'In the future we will face more difficulties and challenges; we need you to lead us in charging forward.'

Lu Yuan nodded, firmly saying: 'Rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect everyone.'

After months of effort and exploration, everyone gradually adapted to the environment of the Southern Continent and established a relatively safe habitat.

Lu Yuan cultivated daily to increase his strength, and never forgot to search for places with abundant spiritual energy.

During his cultivation, Lu Yuan met an optimistic, enthusiastic, and hospitable middle-aged man—the boss of the Feng Family Shop, Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian approached Lu Yuan in a friendly manner; upon learning that he was skilled at alchemy and searching for spiritual herbs, and noticing that he carried some pills, he especially promoted the pills from his own shop.

Lu Yuan looked at the dazzling array of various pills in the shop, and his heart stirred.

He thought that by selling pills he could accumulate spirit stones to prepare for future cultivation.

Feng Xiaotian enthusiastically introduced Lu Yuan to the efficacy and rarity of various pills.

Under his guidance, Lu Yuan realized that the Star Radiance Pill he had carefully refined had a high market value here.

After detailed discussion and transaction, Lu Yuan sold dozens of Star Radiance Pills to the Feng Family Shop and obtained a certain amount of spirit stones.

After completing the transaction, Lu Yuan felt satisfied.

He knew that accumulating enough spirit stones was crucial for him, not only to support his future cultivation but also to help team members progress together.

Thereafter, Lu Yuan frequently patronized the Feng Family Shop and established a good cooperative relationship with Feng Xiaotian.

He used his expertise in alchemy technique to provide the shop with more high-quality pills, and received generous remuneration.

At the same time, in the shop Lu Yuan personally witnessed cultivators' strength leaping forward thanks to the pills he provided.

Days passed in trivial yet fulfilling matters.

Lu Yuan not only accumulated enough spirit stones, but also preliminarily completed his set goal. (End of chapter)
