Chapter 131: Are you willing to let go of those and become Taoist couples with me?
Although there was no battle, this was Wang Mu's first time wearing the Three God's Equipment, and he felt it could be described in a single word: Awesome.
The difference between having equipment and not having it was enormous.
The special effects from the three pieces of equipment were particularly noticeable. In the water, he was simply unimpeded. For a moment, Wang Mu even felt as if he had transformed into a Water Clan Spirit, experiencing no resistance at all, as if he had returned to his own home.
Simultaneously, the enhancements to his Divine Sense and Spiritual Power from the three items, especially the Sword Control + effect from the Cloud Stepping Shoes, stacked significantly. This allowed his Sword Control Technique to operate without any hindrance in the water, reaching an even greater speed.
Everything was smooth as silk.
If I wore these three pieces of Divine Equipment, I could probably defeat the Evil Flood Dragon Young Master with just one move of the Sword Control Technique, Wang Mu suspected. Just these three pieces of equipment... many Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators probably couldn't even gather one. And they're all top-grade. This is even without using the Splitting Stone for enhancement. Previously, when repairing the Green Frost Sword, the Splitting Stone felt like it was about to crack. I was afraid that using it one more time would destroy it, so it's completely unenhanced. Hmm... using Divine Equipment to perform the Sword Control Technique might be overkill, but enjoying this thrill for a bit... I'm satisfied.
"Hold this..." Wang Mu tapped Little Jiao Huo's head, placing the fruit on it.
"Boost your brain."
Little Jiao Huo was silent for a moment.
Little Jiao Huo, who had just been daydreaming, chuckled a few times. She picked up the fruit from her head, held it in her hands, and giggled foolishly.
The numerous Water Clan members could only watch, dumbfounded. The Water Clan had failed to secure the Wisdom Marrow Fruit, a rare product of the Glazed Fairy Root; instead, a human had snatched it away.
The Water Clan Spirits stared at each other blankly, but ultimately, they had to accept it. It couldn't be helped. They revered strength, and strength dictated the terms. If someone else could snatch it, there wasn't much to say.
Besides, the fruit was given to the Merfolk Clan.
Wang Mu kept one for himself to eat. Consuming this fruit can enhance Comprehension and intelligence; it's extremely rare. Even if I don't eat it myself, keeping it for later use is also very good. It's a treasure obtained effortlessly.
"I'm not dumb," the little one declared, hiding the fruit away.
Below them, the Glazed Fairy Root still emitted a soft glow, occasionally producing a few more fruits.
After a long time, it slowly sank back down.
Many Water Clan Spirits guarded the Glazed Lake, preventing the Glazed Fairy Root from being picked. They diligently cleaned the bottom of the Glazed Lake daily, protecting the area. This provided a favorable growing environment for the Glazed Fairy Root, and in return, it would produce a certain amount of fruit at regular intervals over the years. As the saying goes, "the moon wanes after being full, and water overflows when filled to the brim." Perhaps this was also a method of Cultivation for the Glazed Fairy Root. Otherwise, producing too many fruits might adversely affect its own Cultivation.
「Two days after the Fasting Festival」
Wang Mu had stayed at the bottom of the Glazed Lake for two more days when Shen Yuanzi arrived.
During the Fasting Festival, the great vortex, along with the Glazed Fairy Root, would also produce other Lake Bottom Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Grasses. These included some mid and upper-grade Spiritual Medicines, some of which were cultivated underwater by the Water Clan Spirits. All these would be harvested and collected during the festival and stored for later use.
There were some Spirits in the Glazed Lake proficient in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, but their skills were not very high.
This place had some uniquely produced Spiritual Medicines, hard to find in the outside world. Naturally, Human Clan cultivators seeking convenience would come here to exchange for Spiritual Medicine. The prerequisite was a certain level of friendliness; they wouldn't trade with just any random cultivator.
「In a spacious stone house」
Wang Mu, after a year, saw Shen Yuanzi again.
He still had a ruddy complexion and the air of an immortal. His pure white, long beard reminded Wang Mu of ginseng roots.
"Sea Granny has already discussed it with me." Shen Yuanzi, wearing a long-sleeved green robe, looked vibrant and graceful, offering a warm smile. "She is willing to offer an equivalent compensation to help you, young friend, in exchange for my Immortal Transformation Burial. That is acceptable..."
"However…"
"However what?" Wang Mu asked.
Shen Yuanzi glanced at Wang Mu and smiled, "Actually, I'm quite curious about you, young friend. After we parted at the Elixir Dao Festival, I had intended to visit the Sword Sect, but I was entangled in various matters. I never expected to encounter you here."
"You two know each other?" Sea Granny asked.
"Naturally," Shen Yuanzi smiled. "Sea Granny, you reside in the Glazed Lake of Huangtian Continent, quite remote, so you might not be aware of certain matters in Qianzhou. The Elixir Dao Festival is primarily known among Pill Masters, and this young friend is no ordinary individual."
He's truly no ordinary individual, Sea Granny thought. He defeated the Evil Flood Dragon Young Master, who was close to the Golden Core Realm, with just two moves despite being only in the Qi Cultivation Realm. In the great vortex, he outmaneuvered numerous Water Clan members in mere moments to seize the Spirit Fruit. And that silly girl Little Xi has been overjoyed for two days, even gazing at the fruit while she eats...
"My Immortal Transformation Burial is indeed a rare treasure..." Shen Yuanzi pondered. "Generally, I would not trade it. However, since Sea Granny has spoken, there's no need for compensation; I have a good relationship with the Glazed Lake...
"Well, to be frank, I would like to ask you, young friend, for a favor."
"Senior, you are an Elixir Dao Master. What could I possibly help you with?" Wang Mu asked.
Shen Yuanzi's Cultivation was also at the Nascent Soul Stage. He was originally a nature spirit who had cultivated a human form, possessing extremely high aptitude in all aspects. Even though he focused on the Alchemy Dao and adopted a relaxed approach to his general Cultivation, his Cultivation level was not low.
"There is something," Shen Yuanzi said after a moment's thought. "The Abnormality Spirit Pill you concocted during the Elixir Dao Festival..."
"Senior, you want it?" Wang Mu paused.
That imitation of Immortal Sorrow... after the Elixir Dao Festival, people had actually visited Dan Sword Peak wanting to buy that miraculous Abnormality Spirit Pill for a high price.
