Chapter 17: Exploring Pearl Lake
Lu Yiting didn't believe it and asked for details, Ye Sangyu also answered one by one, which made Lu Yiting very disappointed, and then she was not interested in talking at all, and she got up to say goodbye after half a cup of tea, Ye Sangyu didn't pay attention to her sudden coldness, she still sent her to the door with a smile, and went back to the inn herself.

Ye Sangyu got the information of the pearl fluorite from Lu Yiting, and in the early morning of the second day, she rode her horse and left Yongcheng, and she had enough time to play all the way to Star City.
Star City is located in the embrace of the mountains, on the edge of a vast water, with only a curved official road around the mountain connecting to the outside world. It is famous for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.
One of the most outstanding is the night view of Pearl Lake, where the stars in the sky and the moon shadow in the water reflect each other, and the stars in the sky are like jewels, as if they can be plucked by your hand. Reflected in the water, it is like pearls scattered all over the lake, and you can bend down to pick it up. The name of Star City and the name of Pearl Lake also come from this.
Ye Sangyu found an inn in Star City, put his horse and baggage in the inn, and bought rope torches to explore the lake.
When she met a few fishermen who were about to go into the water to fish, she went up to ask if she had ever seen a sturgeon.
After thanking her, she searched for a secluded place along the lake. I was just about to enter the water, but I was fascinated by the scenery of this pearl lake.
The blue waves of the lake are vast like thousands of acres of glass, and the ancients said that the water is exhausted and the south sky does not see the clouds. It's a portrayal of this time that is breathtaking.
The wind stops and the waves are flat, and the lake at this time is like a mirror, the sky and water are the same color, and the vastness is boundless. Stepping into the water causes a slight ripple, like a pool of tempting old wine, clear and intoxicating.
After entering the water, Ye Sangyu found that Pearl Lake is not only wide, but also has a complex topography at the bottom of the lake, with canyons, reefs and mountains rising and falling, and there are many kinds of creatures in the water. She searched the lake for a long time, and only then did she find a few sturgeon gathered in the deep grass, this fish was about ten centimeters long, with a pointed head like a mouse's mouth, a white body, and a fast swimmer.
After Ye Sangyu entered the water, she no longer used her spiritual power to maintain her breathing and body temperature, and when she swam in the water, these sturgeons did not panic and fled, and some of them even swam over curiously to peck at her exposed skin.
Ye Sangyu followed behind these sturgeons, and saw that they were gnawing on some green aquatic plants from time to time, and they had to swim quickly when they encountered stones with water moss, but they did not stop to eat.
It wasn't until they swam to a canyon-like crevice at the bottom of the lake that they found a large number of sturgeon coming and going in and out of the canyon from time to time, mixed with a few slow-swimming, green bodies and faint fluorescence.
Ye Sangyu swam over quickly, and easily caught one, she pinched the fish body with her hand, and sure enough, her belly was as hard as a stone. She was very pleased, and caught two more, at this time the sturgeon school found the danger and began to dodge in the canyon, Ye Sangyu couldn't let go, chased after him, and got a few more to recover the space halfway.
She suddenly found herself chasing a school of sturgeon into the depths of the canyon, where the rock walls were covered with a large amount of green moss, and the long passages were curved and changeable.
Ye Sangyu felt that there must be something different here, so she swam inward along the passage, the passage was like a maze, she got into a dead end several times, and finally she swam into a deep hole that could only allow one person to pass through.
After swimming dozens of meters, the deep hole became more and more wide, and the water became shallower and shallower after swimming for a few hundred meters, and finally reached a shoal, she surfaced and found herself in a cave at the bottom of the lake.
A torch was taken out of the space, and the entire cave was instantly illuminated, and when you looked up, it was as if you had entered another world, this was a huge crystal ore cave, and the walls were full of crystal ores of different colors that reflected faint light in the firelight.
Densely scattered in the cave like stars, this beautiful wonder like the universe deeply shocked Ye Sangyu, and she was almost immersed in this beauty and couldn't extricate herself.
After a long time, she took an uncarved crystal rough from the nearest place around her, held it in her hand and looked closely, the light refracted by different edges and corners shimmered charmingly, and some people had praised it before, "flawless is better than jade, and it is cleaner than ice", this crystal clear crystal is really beautiful and dazzling.
Suddenly, Ye Sangyu sensed that a dialog box popped up, and the pastoral world that hadn't taken the initiative to contact her for a long time suddenly gave her a task, 'If the realm lord can bring this lake bottom ore vein into the pastoral world, he can directly raise the world to level ten.' ā
"I alone don't have enough strength to mine such a huge crystal mine." Ye Sangyu replied directly, she no longer regards the pastoral world as a mechanical system, and the pastoral world is more like an artificial intelligence.
āā¦ā¦ The Realm Lord can exchange experience points for a copy of the Earth Spirit Technique, and after learning it, the Realm Lord can collect this vein in the pastoral world within three days. ā
"First, I can't use spiritual power in the plane, and I will be repelled by this plane. Second, I can mine as much as I can, and I can also exchange it for experience to upgrade the pastoral world, and it is only a matter of time before I reach level ten. I don't need to exchange any "Earth Spirit Technique"" Ye Sangyu said coldly, the pastoral world really treats her as a slave, do whatever you want her to do?
"Realm Lord, you coexist with the pastoral world, and if the pastoral world develops, you can also get a better survival." The system suddenly issued a warning, it was the cold mechanical female voice that Ye Sangyu heard when she didn't meet Ruihong.
"I'm fine now, I'm not in a hurry to develop, just take my time." Ye Sangyu completely ignored the system's warnings, she wanted to see how much the pastoral world could bind her.
āā¦ā¦ Realm Lord, the system can provide you with a free "Earth Spirit Technique" and a pill of Bigu Pill, and it can also help the Realm Lord temporarily block the will of this plane, and even if the Realm Lord mines the veins and retracts the pastoral world, he can still make the world rise to level ten. "All of a sudden, the system started to lure in.
"I refuse." It seems that the system really has an independent mind, Ruihong is just a microphone of the system, and is completely controlled by the system, and if she is a little out of it, the system will imprison her in a punishing way.
"Realm Lord, if you have any requirements, the system will help within a reasonable range." The sound coming from the system softened.
"In addition to the conditions just given, I will release Ruihong and attribute her ownership to me, and the system will not be able to dispose of her at will in the future." As if the pastoral world could not force her to do something, Ye Sangyu opened her mouth, she wanted to see the bottom line of the system.
"Realm Lord, the pastoral world is not necessary for this vein, your requirements are too much." The system's voice became harsh.
"In this case, it won't be able to be discussed, I like this crystal very much, I want to keep it for my own use, as for upgrading the pastoral world, I will replace it with other resources." Ye Sangyu said as she took out the stone pickaxe she had made before from the pastoral world and planned to mine it.
āā¦ā¦ Okay, Realm Lord, I agreed to your request. The sound of the system's cold machinery rang out again.
"Deal." Ye Sangyu replied with a smile.
"Earth Spirit Art is now for you, and the will of this plane has also been shielded. As for Ruihong, you can't re-contract until you return to the pastoral world. The system threw out a book to Ye Sangyu.
"Yes, but you need to make a contract, otherwise I can't believe it." Ye Sangyu is not stupid, what if he returns to the pastoral world and the system does not admit it.
