Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 160: Ch160: Nether Water Herb

Time passed slowly and night descended.

The peace of the forest at night was occasionally broken by the roars of beasts.

The abyssal was extremely vigilant. Whenever a beast came close, he would dodge it. He had wasted too much energy during the day, so he didn’t want to fight at night.

Just like that, the night passed and sunlight pierced through the densely packed pale leaves of trees.

The abyssal never stopped walking even for ten minutes. He killed many beasts along the way and finally reached a lake deep in the forest half a day later.

Emrys’s pupils constricted when he saw the location from afar. His eyes lit up as he gasped in astonishment. He could see thick fog enveloping a huge lake in the depths of the forest. The fog wasn’t simple, it appeared to be the result of the high density of energy present in the lake.

As for whether it was Cosmic Energy or some other energy, Emrys was unable to tell.

But he was sure about one thing. This wasn’t a simple lake, there was something very unusual about it.

Emrys didn’t want to alert the abyssal, so he didn’t act to reveal himself immediately. Instead, he waited to see what the abyssal planned to do here.

The abyssal ignored the dense fog and started sizing up the lake from the side. He seemed to be thinking and searching for something.

Emrys thought for a while and started getting closer. In the next ten minutes, he was already within five hundred meters of the lake and the abyssal.

Arriving at this point, Emrys jumped onto a tree and activated his three-dimensional world. This ability allowed him to perceive everything within a 500-meter radius, seeing and hearing everything from a god-like perspective.

"This is it. It’s definitely here. That rare Nether Water Herb must be somewhere at the bottom of this lake. That kind of herb can only grow in an environment like this."

Ecstasy emerged on the abyssal’s face. He continued, "I have been collecting all kinds of herbs and fruits over the years but still failed to break through. This Nether Water Herb can definitely help me become a High-tier Abyssal. However, before that, I’ll have to take care of the Soul Beast guarding that herb."

"Those damn Soul Beasts, they are truly hard to deal with."

Soul Beast?

Emrys’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing these two words. The herb that this Abyssal wanted was protected by a Soul Beast. Doesn’t it mean he can obtain a Soul Orb right here as long as he can deal with that Soul Beast?

As Emrys thought, his breath started to quicken.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, Emrys seemed to have recalled something.

Nether Water Herb?

It seems that he had heard of this herb before, but he could not remember. He pressed on his memories and tried hard to recall, only to remember that it was the predecessor who had seen this herb back in the Infinite Soul Star.

Emrys immediately checked the predecessor’s memories and realized how marvelous this herb actually was. This herb can be used to not only break through to the realm that comes after Purple Crystal Soul Master, but it can also strengthen a Soul Master’s soul to a certain degree. Moreover, a Soul Master could awaken another Origin Skill if their Soul Mark is water-attributed!

But this is not the most important use of the Nether Water Herb. After refining the Nether Water Herb, one or two drops of Nether Water. When consumed or applied, Nether Water can revitalize the body and soul, rapidly healing wounds and restoring energy. If used in an emergency situation, Nether Water can temporarily enhance a Soul Master’s power, aiding in the quick advancement of cultivation realms.

Of course, the advancement of cultivation realms will be temporary. After some time, not only will the cultivation be restored to its original state, it might become weaker.

The most lethal side effect of the Nether Water is that it may cause a Soul Cultivator’s soul to become tainted with dark energies, transforming it into a Soul Demon from Soul Master. But of course, something like this is very rare to occur.

Anyway, the presence of this lethal side effect doesn’t decrease the value of Nether Water.

Even one drop of Nether Water can be sold for an astronomical amount of credits back in the Infinite Soul Star.

Realizing everything, Emrys’s eyes started shining. He immediately decided to obtain the Nether Water Herb no matter what and refine the Nether Water out of the Nether Herb. Even if he can only obtain one or two drops of Nether Water, it’ll be more than worth his efforts.

The abyssal covered up his aura and took out weird-looking materials exuding bizarre aura. He then stuffed those things into a small cloth bag. After that, he sat beside the lake and started to wait silently.

Emrys’s expression turned strange. He was not sure what the abyssal had stuffed into the cloth bag. But he was sure this Abyssal wanted to use some sort of underhanded method to deal with the Soul Beast in the lake.

The abyssal was very patient. He did not move from his spot until the night fell. Only then did the abyssal finally start moving.

Emrys looked with the perspective of a God as the abyssal stood up and opened the cloth bag, only to cause a dark smoke to rise. The abyssal’s expression remained calm. He immediately tossed the bag into the lake.

"Was he waiting for the chemical reaction to occur inside the bag?"

Emrys could not understand what exactly the Abyssal wanted to do, but he could only come up with this answer after observing the entire thing.

Gulp~

After a few minutes, bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake. Under the moonlight, a gigantic black shadow could be seen slowly rising from the lake.

"It’s here!" The abyssal was elated when he saw this scene.

He waited for another ten minutes. During these ten minutes, hundreds of corpses of some fish-type weak beasts gradually floated onto the surface of the lake. The abyssal disregarded these fishes that were implicated and stared intently at the lake.

However, Emrys was not the one to disregard them. Because these fishes were all actually Soul Beasts, and they were all either Silver Soul Beasts, Secret Silver or above Soul Beasts.

To Emrys, it was truly a fortune falling from the sky.
