Super Invincible Immortal Doctor-Chapter 371: Underwater Barrier_1

After driving off Little White, Su Chengyu began preparing for alchemy. The difficulty of refining Xuanling Pills was higher than that of Heavenly Spirit Pills. He was meticulously careful with each step, completely focused, and dared not make the slightest error.

After all, he only had this one Red Jade Lotus. If the refining failed, all his efforts would go to waste.

After a night of hard work, Su Chengyu successfully refined a Xuanling Pill. The pill, about the size of a longan, was entirely red. When the pill was accomplished, a fragrance lingered in the pill-refining room for quite a while.

Su Chengyu carefully stored the Xuanling Pill, wiped his sweat, and drew a long sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it was successful. It’s up to you for the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm," he said.

When Su Chengyu returned to his room after leaving the pill-refining room, Xu Nanzhi was still asleep. He lay beside her. Xu Nanzhi’s body was cold, but her forehead was drenched in sweat. She had clearly fallen into another nightmare.

Su Chengyu wiped the sweat from Xu Nanzhi’s forehead, gently holding her in his arms. At this point, Xu Nanzhi awoke, and finding Su Chengyu by her side brought her some peace of mind.

"Did you have that strange dream again?" Su Chengyu softly asked.

"Mm."

Xu Nanzhi nestled into Su Chengyu’s arms.

"Nan Zhi, is there any place you’d like to go? Let me accompany you on a small trip, maybe we can unwind," Su Chengyu suggested.

"Okay, let’s go to the prairie," Xu Nanzhi agreed, knowing that Su Chengyu was under a great deal of pressure. It seemed good to go out and unwind.

"Alright, I’ll buy the plane tickets in a while, and we can set off today."

Although Su Chengyu had successfully refined the Xuanling Pill, he decided not to immediately make his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Instead, he decided to accompany Xu Nanzhi before going all out to face the heavenly tribulation in his attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

After dinner, Su Chengyu bought two tickets to Jincheng, the provincial capital of Shu Zhou. Jincheng, being a major city in the southwestern part of Xia Country, was incredibly bustling. Both Su Chengyu and Xu Nanzhi visited this place for the first time.

After the two checked into the hotel, they went out for a stroll along the streets of Jincheng.

"I’ve heard that people in Jincheng lead carefree and comfortable lives, with a very high happiness index. It is a city where those who come do not wish to leave. And indeed it is! Look, there are so many teahouses and mahjong parlors along the way. Don’t these people have to work?" Xu Nanzhi exclaimed, seeing many mahjong parlors and people sitting on chairs by the road, drinking covered-bowl tea and playing cards.

"It’s their tradition, I guess. Tonight, let’s have hot pot..." Su Chengyu said.

"I’m a little bit afraid of spiciness... but I really want to try. I’ve had hot pot a few times in Lin Jiang, but it just didn’t taste good," Xu Nanzhi responded.

"The hot pot in Jincheng will definitely taste better than in Lin Jiang."

The two strolled outside until the evening, then found a popular hot pot restaurant. They ordered a divided hot pot, and even though Xu Nanzhi wasn’t good with spicy food, she insisted on eating it and commented that the hot pot in Jincheng lived up to its reputation.

The next day, Su Chengyu rented a camper van and set off from Jincheng to the Shu western plateau region, with their first stop being the nationally renowned scenic spot: Shizhaigou.

That night, they stayed in a hotel at the entrance to Shizhaigou, planning to tour the area the next day.

Shizhaigou, located in the towering mountains of the northwest Shu plateau, offered a unique landscape, as beautiful as a painting. Such a view was rare in coastal cities like Lin Jiang.

In this incredibly beautiful and sacred land, breathing the fresh mountain air was refreshing and made one feel carefree. Su Chengyu also felt the spiritual energy of nature in Shizhaigou was very rich, making it a suitable place for cultivating energy.

That night, Su Chengyu inhaled a substantial amount of nature’s spiritual energy, which solidified his level at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. However, to accomplish a breakthrough with just nature’s spiritual energy was far from sufficient.

Early the next morning, both of them joined the other tourists in entering Shizhaigou. A beautiful landscape unfolded before their eyes gradually!

Here, both Su Chengyu and Xu Nanzhi temporarily put down all the burdens on their hearts, and Xu Nanzhi seemed to be particularly joyful.

"ChengYu, Shizhaigou truly lives up to its reputation! Look at these mountains, these waters, they’re so beautiful." Xu Nanzhi spread her arms wide, embracing the nature with her radiant vigor. Su Chengyu took up his camera and snapped a picture.

With the beauties of nature combined with a mesmerising beauty, it was nothing short of the most beautiful scene on earth.

The two of them then visited the Twin Dragon Sea Scenic Spot within Shizhaigou. There were many tourists, and the handsome guy and the beautiful girl were quite the head-turners.

"The water here is truly beautiful, just like a painting." Xu Nanzhi took pictures with her camera, and at that moment, Su Chengyu suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

"Save me... save me..." it said.

Immediately, Su Chengyu looked around, but he didn’t see anyone falling into water and calling for help.

"Am I hearing things?" Su Chengyu shook his head, but then the call for help came again.

"Nan Zhi, did you hear someone calling for help?" Su Chengyu asked.

"No, did someone fall into the water?" Xu Nanzhi curiously asked. freēnovelkiss.com

"Never mind, I must be hearing things." As soon as Su Chengyu finished speaking, the plea for help was heard again. However, Xu Nanzhi and the other tourists didn’t hear anything.

This time, Su Chengyu was sure he hadn’t misheard. It wasn’t a hallucination. He immediately released his Divine Sense. His eyes flickered bright, and he could see the colorful spiritual energy of nature fluttering in the air.

However, even when Su Chengyu spread his Divine Sense to its limit, he didn’t detect anything unusual. His gaze then landed on the lake surface of the Twin Dragon Sea.

"Could it be underwater?"

Su Chengyu sent his Divine Sense to explore underwater, discovering a cave hiding underneath, concealed by a sealed boundary at the entrance. His Divine Sense was blocked by the barrier and was unable to extend further.

"There indeed is a secret underwater..."

Just when Su Chengyu was planning to bypass the sealed entrance with his Divine Sense and explore the stone wall from the side, Xu Nanzhi called him to go to another scenic spot. Su Chengyu had no choice but to drop the matter.

In Shizhaigou, the two spent a whole day exploring, only returning to the hotel in the evening.

In this charming land of mountains and rivers, they cleansed their hearts and let go of their burdens. Their spirits were lifted, and of course, they wouldn’t miss some nice things to do in such scenic surroundings.

In the mutual embrace on their shared mandarin duck pillow, her shyness was drowned in laziness, and their mingled sweat smelt fragrant.

After Xu Nanzhi had fallen asleep, Su Chengyu got dressed and left the room. On his way out, he casually placed a protective boundary around their room to guard Xu Nanzhi.

In broad daylight at Shizhaigou, he heard the cry for help and discovered the underwater boundary, which made Su Chengyu incredibly curious. He planned to discover the truth to see what secrets were hidden in Shizhaigou.

Briefly like a flash of lightning, running at a high speed in the middle of the night, Su Chengyu quickly arrived at the Twin Dragon Sea Scenic Spot. The scenic area was all quiet without anyone around except the steady flow of the trickling water.

Su Chengyu took out the Water Resistance Talisman from his storage bag. The Talisman glowed and formed a protective shield around his body. He dove into the water and swam towards the cave he had previously sensed with his Divine Sense.
