Chapter 1200 - 539: Venturing to the Outer Sea for Foundation Establishment
"Little trouble?"
"Blind bandit cultivators, only knowing about eating Water Demons, and so on."
In just an hour, they saw the dock at Lake Sound Square.
They dispersed the Escape Skill and switched to ordinary Spell.
Upon entering the market, they sold Talismans and gained Spirit Stones.
They sold the Storage Bag, along with their own piece, and added 200 Spirit Stones to exchange for one five-sided.
They bought Elixir Pills for replenishing Spiritual Energy, healing injuries, detoxification, etc.;
The Water King Lotus was with Xu Ni, and they also bought a canoe Magic Artifact, which could utilize Water Qi for Flying over the lake surface;
They bought Talisman Paper, Talismanic Ink, thinking they could perhaps reach the Foundation Establishment Stage in the Outer Lake, thus they purchased Talisman Paper and Talismanic Ink needed for Second Rank Talismans.
They bought books, a pile of them, including Talismans, insights on Foundation Establishment, travel experiences, and tales;
They received a piece of news—a previous cultivation of the "Ghost Escape Technique" had only gone to a mortal town; a Golden Core Stage cultivator was dispatched by the Green Moon Sect to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a Foundation Establishment female cultivator.
Unusual.
Just a single Foundation Establishment disappearance in a place like Lake Sound Square, living by hunting demons, would normally not get any attention from the Green Moon Sect.
Such news seems a waste to know, even wasting the sect's archive Jade Scroll.
But this time, they not only investigated but also dispatched a Golden Core Great Cultivator, which was unusual for anyone to see.
Not daring to linger, the two spent more Spirit Stones and boarded a demon hunting ship named 'Canglang' on the same day.
The demon hunting ship wasn't large, not more than a hundred meters long, with three layers of Formation, capable of cutting through waves and briefly resisting Golden Core Stage Water Demons.
Most crew members were at the Qi Refinement Realm.
The Captain was at the late Foundation Establishment Stage, with three deputy captains, one at the mid Foundation Establishment Stage, and two at the early stage.
Among the one main and three deputies, only one early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was male.
In the Moon Lake, in a realm dominated by Water Qi and Moonlight Spiritual Energy, females held overwhelming advantages.
The ship speed was very fast, without encountering any bandit cultivators or Water Demon attacks, continuously sailing for half a day.
"We're about to reach the emerald green coral reef, everyone stay alert!" shouted a female deputy captain standing on the mast.
"Yes!" Qi Refinement Realm cultivators roared like sailors.
On the deck.
"Emerald green coral reef?" Xian'er wondered aloud.
"You don't know this?" said a girl about the same age as Xian'er beside her, "Emerald green coral reef is the boundary line between the Green Moon Sect and Moon Lake. Passed the reef, it's outside the sect's protection array, beyond the array is the Outer Lake."
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl glanced at Xian'er.
Seeing her beautiful face and clad in a top-grade Magic Robe, she felt a little jealous and couldn't help but mock: "Don't even know this, and still going to the Outer Lake, sooner or later you'll feed the Water Demons."
"Yiyi!" A middle-aged man exchanging with three others heard this and couldn't help but shout.
He pulled the girl behind him and cupped his hands to the two, "I'm sorry, my daughter is unruly, has offended you, I will surely discipline her!"
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xian'er shook her hands repeatedly.
The middle-aged man smiled apologetically and turned to pull away the disgruntled girl.
A gentle breeze came, Xian'er "heard" him quietly say to the girl: "Yiyi, this trip to sea to meet your mother, not a single mistake can be made, don't cause trouble."
"How did I cause trouble, I was kindly reminding her." Yiyi argued.
"Really kind reminder?"
"Really!"
The middle-aged man sighed, not willing to lose his temper with his daughter.
Helplessly said: "Alright, let's say it was a kind reminder, then stop doing kind reminders in the future, best not engage with people, understand?"
"Oh." Yiyi knew when to stop.
Xian'er couldn't help but recall her own parents.
She barely had any memories of Wang Family village, about the village, about the soil, only Green Moon Square's terrace fields.
"Be careful," Shui Zhongyue whispered, "many Water Demons lie in ambush at the boundary between Inner Lake and Outer Lake, Human Race cultivators with tender flesh and abundant Spiritual Power; for going out to sea, Elixir Pills and Magic Artifacts carried in Storage Bags are treasures."
Xian'er withdrew from her thoughts, responded with a hum.
She looked toward the Outer Lake.
It was just dusk.
The evening light pierced the clouds across the horizon, a magnificent gold and red filled the skies;
The lake's waves layered and overlapped, extending to the distant horizon that eyes couldn't reach.
Wave peaks tainted by sunset color, like tossing gold, or like blade tips with a cold sheen.
