The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 72 - Uncle Mo Shi are you very free

“Woosh woosh—”

Suddenly, the water surface not far away started to churn violently.

The previously calm surface began to heave with towering waves, fiercely sweeping towards everyone. At the heart of these waves was a Water Beast as large as a mountain.

Xie Jiuniang looked down and was horrified, exclaiming, “What a huge fish!!”

Escape!

There was no way they could fight!

In front of the Water Beast, people were no different from tiny ants.

How could they fight?

Xie Jiuniang immediately drove the Little Flying Boat at the first chance, zipping far away in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Mo Chuan didn’t bother with Xie Jiuniang anymore. He flew to the deck of the larger ship with his Broken Sword and quickly formed several hand seals.

The big ship took to the sky and advanced at full speed, desperately trying to outrun the oncoming massive waves.

The other Foundation Establishment Disciples came to their senses and began to flee for their lives on their swords.

Such a thrilling start to their journey.

It finally made everyone understand that the Secret Realm was extremely dangerous, nothing like what the seniors had described as peaceful.

Once they had finally escaped the danger, Tianxu Sect disciples thanked Mo Chuan one after another. Mo Chuan accepted their thanks gracefully and advised them to temper themselves well, be cautious, and avoid provoking Water Beasts.

“Uncle, didn’t the seniors say that Tianshui Secret Realm is the safest place in the Sect?” A Disciple asked, still shaken.

“Ahem!”

Mo Chuan coughed lightly, explaining in a tactful manner, “Compared to other Secret Realms of the Sect, Tianshui Secret Realm is indeed the safest, with a mortality rate of only about ten percent or so.”

The Disciples fell silent.

Xie Jiuniang, who had fled far away, also wanted to curse.

She had just escaped the territory of that huge Water Beast and wanted to take a break when she was targeted by another Water Beast that could shoot water arrows, following her closely and occasionally spraying water at the Little Flying Boat.

Xie Jiuniang, now drenched like a soaked chicken, wiped the water stains off her little face and couldn’t help complaining to Jian Lingyan, “Which guy said that Tianshui Secret Realm was the safest? That Spiritual Beasts are gentle in nature and won’t attack people unprovoked?”

Heh!

This is gentle?

To hell with gentleness!

She was almost unable to recognize what gentle meant anymore.

Jian Lingyan was inwardly overjoyed, but said to Xie Jiuniang, “Master, that Water Beast mistook you for a little insect. It’s wondering, ‘hey, how come this little bug is so fast…'”

“Why do I feel like you’re having fun?” Xie Jiuniang asked, sensing danger.

Jian Lingyan immediately cried out in denial, “No, no, that’s not the case.”

Xie Jiuniang had not been to Tianshui Secret Realm in her past life, so what she knew was all hearsay.

Hearing is one thing, but once inside, she found…

Oh, come on!

It was all glorified descriptions.

Xie Jiuniang was chased all along the way until, two days later, she escaped to a desolate island and finally shook off the Water Beast.

Exhausted, she lay on the Flying Boat panting, thankful for her father’s wisdom in giving her a new type of Flying Boat, whose speed was exceptional for escaping, although it consumed a lot of Spirit Stones and could only be activated with mid-grade Spirit Stones. The faster she went, the more Spiritual Energy was used up, and this time it had cost her twenty-seven mid-grade Spirit Stones.

Her father had prepared only a hundred pieces for her, and now a third were gone.

She still had to stay in Tianshui Secret Realm for a year.

Xie Jiuniang looked up at the sky, speechless.

Tianshui Secret Realm was indeed magical, with day and night changes like the outside world, complete with the sun, the moon, and the stars.

She tapped the Contract Totem on the back of her hand and asked, “Is there any danger on this desolate island?”

Jian Lingyan fell silent for a moment before responding heavily, “There are no living creatures, not even a blade of grass. Master, this place is devoid of life.”

“Goodness, then let’s get out of here quickly.”

Xie Jiuniang stuffed another mid-grade Spirit Stone into the Flying Boat’s slot.

The Little Flying Boat soared up, rushing towards the outskirts of the island.

As Xie Jiuniang escaped some distance and found herself high in the air, she turned to look back at the entire Wilderness Island.

Suddenly, near the island, a part of the water surface started swirling into a huge vortex.

In no time, a gigantic head emerged from the water.

Xie Jiuniang’s heart trembled.

At the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, one could only observe within a five-mile radius, and the Giant Beast’s enormous body far exceeded her range of detection.

It seemed that one might be relatively safe only when situated high in the sky of the Tianshui Secret Realm. Of course, that was provided one did not encounter any Water Beasts that could spout water.

Xie Jiuniang stopped the Little Flying Boat high in the air.

She took out the booklet given by Elder Chaoyan and opened it; the Secret Realm Map inside marked some dangerous areas.

However, without being able to determine her current location, the map was just a decoration and couldn’t serve its purpose.

She had now seen the Giant Beast.

She suspected that in her panic to escape, she had entered one of the perilous zones.

“Little Jianjian.”

For the first time, Xie Jiuniang changed her address and did not call it Little Jianjian.

Jian Lingyan flew out from the Contract Space, circled around Xie Jiuniang, and then said in a babyish voice, “Dog master, I suspect you’re plotting against me.”

“What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?” Xie Jiuniang waved the Secret Realm Map, “I just wanted to ask you, do you understand this? Can you figure out our current position?”

Jian Lingyan had Xie Jiuniang unfold the booklet and scanned the Secret Realm Map, then pointed with the sword hilt to a dangerous place marked on it – Wilderness Island Behemoth.

The meaning was self-evident, they were right there.

Xie Jiuniang’s expression became stiff, damn it, was her luck really so bad?

Just the third day of her arrival and she had already blundered into a danger zone!

Just as Xie Jiuniang thought about leaving the dangerous area, Jian Lingyan suddenly said, “Master, there are many treasures under the water below, aren’t we going to collect them?”

Collect them?

Collect your huge ghost head!

This is the Wilderness Island Behemoth’s territory. Who would dare to try plucking its hairs without several lives to lose?

Jian Lingyan then coaxed, “What are you afraid of, Master? To that big guy, you’re just a little bug, taking away a few items quietly shouldn’t matter.”

Xie Jiuniang felt there was some truth to it.

The problem was that Jian Lingyan was too eager, which raised her guard.

Xie Jiuniang took out a stick, grabbed the hilt of the Broken Sword, and began to question while tapping it, “I’ll give you a chance to come clean; what benefits have made you so crazed as to incite your master to go seek death? Speak up!”

“It’s, it’s Spiritual Marrow, lots of Spirit Crystals, Spiritual Marrow,” Jian Lingyan hurriedly confessed the truth.

Spirit Crystals, a level above Spiritual Liquid, are white crystalline forms of Spiritual Liquid containing extremely dense Spiritual Energy. A piece the size of a fingernail could help a Foundation Establishment Cultivator increase a level of their Cultivation Base.

Spirit Crystals are extremely rare in the Cultivation World and are basically not in circulation on the market.

Spiritual Marrow is even rarer.

It hasn’t been seen for thousands of years.

According to the records, Spiritual Marrow contains an extreme purity of Spiritual Energy, which not only can rapidly enhance a Cultivator’s Cultivation Base and cleanse their bones and marrow but also can slightly improve their aptitude.

Never underestimate the word ‘slightly.’ In the Cultivation World, anything that can change one’s aptitude is in exceptionally short supply.

Xie Jiuniang was tempted.

She had the Contract Space marked with Divine Patterns, which could subtly alter one’s aptitude, but her parents did not.

Her parents’ aptitudes were truly not that great; the fact that they could reach Foundation Establishment was already impressive, and that was after consuming a considerable amount of Elixirs to enhance it.

If they had Spiritual Marrow…

Xie Jiuniang straightened her back, her spirit soaring to the skies, “Little Jianjian is right. Coming to the Secret Realm is about seeking opportunities, and now that we have encountered good stuff, it would be ridiculous not to collect it.”

“Right, right, right…”

Jian Lingyan excitedly spun in circles.

The risk was great.

But, fortune favors the bold.

Eventually, the Master and sword came to an agreement, on a nine-to-one split.

The Master gets nine, the sword one.
