"How?" Wuyue asked Chishui curiously.

Chi Shui withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip, thought for a few breaths, and then shook his head and said: "The nine styles of pearl diving, although it is said to be nine styles, but whether it is really useful or not, you have to try it to know." ”

She said as she handed the jade slip to Gotsuki. This is the jade slip she bought from the monk of the pearl field, saying that it is a unique trick of pearl diving, and it cost a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.

After reading it, Wu Yue said: "This jade slip only remembers some ordinary things, but you and I have never picked pearls, this jade slip can allow us to take fewer detours, and when we actually explore for a while, it should not be difficult to pick up thirty medium-grade ink beads." ”

Chishui smiled, "That's enough, others won't be willing to take out the true essence of things." ”

"That's right." Wu Yue's head nodded slightly, and the two disappeared in place with a tacit understanding.

Looking at the shore of Blackwater Lake from the prohibition, the feeling is not quite the same.

I saw that the smoke on the entire lake was vast, condensed into a thick fog, and in it, the range that could be seen clearly by the naked eye was no more than fifty zhang, which was because her five senses were extraordinary, and if it was an ordinary person, she could only see about twenty zhang clearly. And the divine consciousness ......

Chi Shui frowned, it was mentioned in the jade slip that in order to cultivate the Condensation Ink Bead, the bottom of the Black Water Lake was full of refined Illusory Heart Sand, and the most special thing about this Illusory Heart Sand was that it could influence the monk's divine sense.

In other words, the images that the divine consciousness perceives are not necessarily real, and in this special place, it is better to rely on the reality of one's own physical eyes with the divine sense.

She shook her head, at the bottom of the black water lake, there is a black water barrier, and the naked eye is actually not very helpful, which shows the difficulty of pearl diving.

Luckily, pearl diving is a little harder here. As long as you pay attention, the danger is not too great, otherwise Su and Xiang Zi will not let her and Wuyue come.

She and Gozuki looked at each other for a moment, and both ran in the direction of the middle of the lake. No more than 100 meters from each other.

"That's it!" Wuyue Dao.

Chi Shui stopped and looked around, this place was on the edge, and there were no monks staying, she understood that Wu Yue wanted to practice here first, and she had no objection.

"Little junior sister, this black water is dangerous as mentioned in the jade slip, so let the senior sister go down and try it first."

Chishui nodded, watching Wuyue's body spin. Under his head and feet, he plunged straight into the black water, and only a small black splash rippled, and the sound was extremely small, obviously using skill.

She sighed secretly in her heart, Senior Sister Wuyue has a resolute and resolute personality and is good at forbearance, and her mind is not inferior to her.

She was thinking that Gozuki had already rushed out of the water. Standing across from Chishui, he shook his head at her.

Chishui was about to ask, but Wuyue took the lead and said, "Little junior sister will find out if you go down." ”

Seeing this, Chishui did not shirk it, and his whole body flashed with a flash of inspiration, covering the surface of his skin. As she plunged into the water, she remembered the waterfowl that were hunting in the sea, how similar they were to her current state.

She smiled slightly wryly and looked at it intently. However, it was found that the naked eye could not see the bottom of the lake at all. She had no choice but to shoot at her nearest big mussel according to her senses.

As far as the divine consciousness could see, the big mussel was completely black. It was half a zhang in size, and the mussel shell was half-open at 90 degrees, and there was a marble-sized ink bead lying quietly inside. A gesture of letting you pick up.

Chishui knew that the ink beads were as round as ink, with a layer of hazy halo, which was undoubtedly the medium-grade ink beads.

When he got closer, Chishui was startled again, the edge of the mussel shell was as thin as a blade, revealing bursts of cold light. She could have imagined that if the monk had moved a little slower and the mussel shell had closed, the force generated would most likely have cut off the monk's arm directly.

As soon as she stretched out her hand, a stream of spiritual power rolled out, and probed towards the condensing ink bead, that spiritual power was like a shuttle, the speed was not slow, and it reached the clam in an instant.

I saw that spiritual power pass directly through the ink bead......

It's a phantom.

Although Chi Shui had expected it, she still couldn't help but smile bitterly, her divine sense and naked eyes were unreliable, it seemed that this pearl diving was even more difficult than she expected.

She found nothing, her body had been pulled up by the buoyancy of the black water itself, she knew that this time it was in vain, she no longer fell in love, and reflexively returned.

Back on the lake, it's a few breaths.

She checked it, but in just a few breaths, the spiritual power in her body had consumed nearly one-tenth, and if it was an ordinary monk, she might not be able to enter the water more than three times with all the spiritual power. However, it is difficult to recover spiritual power, even if you use high-grade spirit stones, it will take more than half a day's effort, which means that the monks can go into the water no more than six times a day. No wonder the bead field has such low requirements for monks, as long as you pick a medium-grade ink bead a day.

Chi Shui also shook his head at Wuyue and said with a wry smile: "Senior sister, why don't you say they drain this black water?" "Although this blackwater lake is large, it is not impossible for a cultivator to drain it all.

"It's not that you don't smoke it, but you can't." Wu Yue said with a smile: "Although this ink clam is suppressed and cannot be transformed, its strength is not inferior to that of our monks, if the black water here does not meet their requirements, they will be tightly closed, and then we will have the strength of a thousand catties, and we will not want to break it." ”

Chi Shui thought of the ordinary mussel shell he played with when he was a child, and it was not easy to warp it, let alone these 10,000-year-old mussel essences? She looked at the surface of the lake and said, "Senior sister, this black water is too spiritually draining, we have to think of a proper way to deal with it." ”

Wuyue said: "Well, the spiritual power can't be replenished, and the method I thought of before won't work, and now I still have to think about how to determine the location of the ink clam." ”

"The Phantom Heart Sand mentioned in the jade slip will distort the divine sense, but it will not come out of nothing, that is to say, the mussel that the divine consciousness sees must be not far away, the key is ......" Chi Shui remembered that the buoyancy she received in the water was by no means ordinary, almost pulling her upward, and it was the first time she had encountered such a large floating water.

In this way, they sink to the bottom of the lake with the force of entering the lake, and they must be hit with one blow, otherwise they will miss.

Chishui tried his best to think about it, but he couldn't find a way to deal with it.

Wuyue said: "There are too few mussels here, let's go some further." ”

Chishui also understood, a few mussels here and there, it was really not enough.

Because it's a special situation. Pearl diving must be divided into two steps, the first step is to determine the location of the mussels, and the second step is pearl diving. In other words, it takes two times to pick a pearl.

It was not difficult for them to guess that the experienced monks must have already determined the location and goal of the next launch when they entered the water this time, if the conditions permitted. It's not impossible to pick two at a time.

Of course, they can't do that right now.

They marched more than a hundred feet, and met a few monks during the process, but because the lake was large enough, there was no dispute.

She and Wuyue chose a place where no one was around, and Wuyue went down first.

After a while, Wuyue went ashore, and her fingers pointed to several positions very quickly.

Chi Shui chose the place she pointed to to go into the water, counted her breaths, and then came ashore. The location referred to is very different from Gozuki.

The two frowned at the same time, and after discussing for a while, Wuyue finally chose a position that neither side pointed out, but there was still no gain.

Soon, their three chances were gone.

Although Chi Shui still has spiritual power, she also needs to guard against others, although ordinary people are not stupid enough to do it now, but it doesn't mean that it's impossible.

They cooperated in the same place to restore their spiritual power.

Chi Shui saw that most of the disciples of the family were accompanied by people, and most of the casual cultivators were alone. Most of them don't dare to use their best and keep a considerable distance from others.

Chishui shook his head. At this time, the strength of the team is much more important than the individual. After all, the time is only one month, and the spiritual power is limited, so if you want to get the most benefits within these limited conditions, you must rely on the strength of the team.

She could already anticipate that the single monks would end up with limited gains.

Of course, there are also many monks who are active, and after seeing the movements of the disciples of the family, they also find other people to form a team to take turns to enter the water to share information and experience. It didn't take long for them to get acquainted. As for whether they really trust each other, Chishui doesn't know.

Anyway, she and Senior Sister Wuyue don't have any problems in this regard.

Five days later, Wuyue was the first to pick a medium-grade ink bead. The two of them calculated again, and when Chishui went into the water again, the chance of success had increased to sixty percent.

Sure enough, Chi Shui soon picked a medium-grade ink bead and brought it up.

The two saw that their guess was confirmed. They were all overjoyed, and then the two of them made a series of moves, and they collected all the six condensation beads around them.

Wu Yue flipped the storage bag and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, with our speed, there should be no problem with the task of thirty pieces." ”

Chi Shui nodded in agreement, although they only got three after six days of busy work, this is already excellent compared to those monks who have not gained anything so far.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it took them only five days to take this most important step, and the future harvest is expected.

She also understood now that because of the poison of the black water, the monk had to wrap his whole body with spiritual power; The buoyancy of the black water is extremely high, and the monk has to increase the output of spiritual power in order to rush to the bottom of the lake to collect pearls.

The rapid loss of spiritual power, the poison of the black water, the obstruction of the phantom sand, and the keen sense and movement speed of the ink clam all added a lot of difficulty to the monk's pearl diving.

Yes, those mussels don't sit there and let people pick them, if they find something wrong, they will leave the place in an instant.

Chi Shui was sure that without the help of Senior Sister Wuyue, she would have to grope for at least half a month alone to have such results.

She thought about it, and saw the same sigh in Wuyue's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Next, they went to several places one after another, some of which had already been picked by others, and because the ink clams were unevenly distributed, they were busy for several days, and although the harvest was not abundant, it was a lot.

Wuyue looked at the box in the storage bag, and said with a smile: "Senior sister already has fifteen. ”

Chi Shui also replied: "Thanks to Senior Sister's care, Wuxing has two more than Senior Sister. She said very sincerely, because every time she went to a new place, it was Wuyue who went into the water first, and she really took care of her.

Wuyue didn't take credit, but said: "There is no more here, let's change places!" ”

Chi Shui nodded, and the afterglow swept over several monks with twinkling eyes not far away, and left with Wuyue silently.

Even after these monks found out that they had successfully harvested pearls one after another, they all lingered not far away, without any scruples about the two of them.

She snorted coldly in her heart, they had better not have superfluous thoughts......

After throwing those monks away, Wu Yue said: "Regardless of what they do, there is a family mark of peace and discipline." They did not dare to come up. ”

Chi Shui's gaze swept over a red plum pinned to the placket of Wuyue's clothes, and did not refute. This family symbol can only ensure that she will not be bullied in the sun, but in the shadows, the only thing that can protect herself is her own strength.

She was thinking about it. Suddenly, he sensed something strange around him, and quickly looked at Gozuki.

"They're coming?" Gotsuki's voice was a little uncertain.

"Seems so." Chishui sneered. There is still half a month to go, can't they wait?

As she spoke, the four men from before had appeared in their field of vision from four directions, surrounding them in the center.

"Everyone has to pay for their stupidity." Wuyue Dao.

Chi Shui's eyes moved slightly, and Wu Yue was obviously in a very ordinary tone, but she heard a hint of coldness from it. I saw that Wuyue's Cuihua bell had been undulating around her, and the lines on the bells suddenly appeared, emitting bells with different high and low charms. It seems to fit a certain rhythm and spreads around, with Wuyue's graceful and hazy posture, like a fairy painting.

"Little junior sister, the remaining two will be handed over to you." As she spoke, Wuyue rushed towards one of the monks like a streamer.

"Okay." Chi Shui agreed, Wu Yue's movements were more in line with her temperament, and she turned around and fled to the other two.

I saw two people, one green and one black, two lights and shadows flowing, as fast as lightning, after a few breaths. At the same time, it was back in the middle.

In their hands, they held two storage bags at the same time, and as for the four of them, their eyes were bulging, and their faces were full of disbelief and fell into the lake.

"You used poison?" Wuyue Dao.

Chi Shui didn't deny it, and in order to make a quick decision, she used the withered leaf magic weapon she had obtained from the Blood Demon Alliance's envoy. She shook the two storage bags and praised, "This is really a good place to kill people and grab treasures." ”

"Yes, they didn't figure out what the Phantom Sand was doing here. I just want to come and die. Naturally, we want to perfect them. Wuyue's voice was a little disdainful.

Yes, the reason why Chishui can fight one against two. The two of them were quickly cut off, in addition to their own strength, the most important reason was the role played by the Phantom Heart Sand.

Phantom sand has its own laws of refraction. It's just that this rule is a bit complicated. She and Wuyue studied for more than half a month before they could master it, but it was ridiculous that those monks didn't support themselves, but they wanted to sit back and enjoy their success, this is the price.

If you make a mistake, it will be an abyss.

Chishui once again reminded himself that no matter how high his cultivation is, he must abandon all distracting thoughts, be upright, know himself, and follow the right path to avoid going astray.

Wuyue put away the storage bag without looking, and so did Chishui.

Because the movements were almost the same, the two laughed again.

Chi Shui's face changed suddenly, and he turned his eyes to look around, "Who?" Hearing this, Wuyue also looked around defensively.

Two figures, one black and one white, emerged in the mist.

"Void Monk?" Wuyue exclaimed, and quickly looked at Chishui with questions in her eyes.

Chishui was also shocked, it was not surprising that there were Void Cultivators in it, but they were all in the most central area of Heishui Lake, and they were still a long distance away from the center, if the other party didn't come specifically against them, they wouldn't believe it.

Chi Shui knew what Wuyue meant, but she had a lot of enemies, and she couldn't figure out where the other party came from for a while, isn't it the Blood Demon Alliance? Her heart sank, but her face asked, "Who are you?" ”

Although she didn't expect the other party to give her an answer, when she saw the two of them coming directly at them without saying a word, she still changed her face and separated from Wuyue at the same time.

The emerald bell on Wuyue's body rang sharply, and the sound was extremely sharp, piercing people's eardrums.

Because Chi Shui was the closest apart and her ear power was outstanding, she was the first to be hit by the seedlings, and before she could react, she saw the two monks, one black and one white, stunned in the air at the same time.

"Let's go." Wuyue pushed Chishui to wake up with all her might, and at the same time fled outside.

Chishui was not stupid, his figure flashed, and he wanted to chase Wuyue, but he thought of something again, and fled in another direction. Sensing that the two monks had given up on Gotsuki at the same time, the Divine Sense chased after her, glad that his decision had not affected Gotsuki, and at the same time smiled bitterly at the confirmation of his suspicions.

I don't know which way the monk is so powerful that he actually knew his whereabouts in advance. The first thing that came to her mind was the Blood Demon Alliance, after all, she had killed one of the other party's emissaries and was her most threatening enemy at the moment.

However, the envoy had clearly said that the next time he would come would be a strong man in the first stage, and these were two Void Stage cultivators, maybe they were not from the Blood Demon Alliance.

She was distracted, she shouldn't think about this now, it was important to think about retreating. She didn't think she could escape the pursuit of the two Void Monks alone.

How to get out?

Out of Blackwater Lake now? No, there is a prohibition barrier, even if she tries her best, she can't get out, and if she wants to go out, she must be approved by the seniors who are in Zhuchang.

But is the bead field safe? Who knows if it's a trap there?

Her mind was racing, and she immediately realized that she had no way out, and that she could either fight to the death with the other party, or she could only hide until the bead field closed and go out with the rest of the monks.

But now that there is still half a month before the closure of the bead field, can she hold on until that time?

Even if she didn't need to be reminded, she knew it was hard, almost impossible.

She suddenly regretted that she had decided to separate from Wuyue before, if she had Wuyue's help, she might be able to earn a glimmer of life, but she immediately thought that Wuyue didn't leave her, and when the other party left, she also reminded her that she had chosen another path.

Chi Shui smiled bitterly, seeing that the distance between the two Void Cultivators behind her and her was getting closer and closer, and seeing that they were about to catch up with her, the other monks around saw this and retreated to the side, afraid of being touched.

Chi Shui didn't pin her hopes on these strangers, their movements were just what she wanted, and a figure in white stood still in the fog in the middle of nowhere, as if he didn't sense everything behind her.

The speed of Chishui was too fast, and he didn't have time to identify it, and when he saw it, he couldn't avoid it, and he quickly silently recited in his heart that he was about to urge it.

Suddenly, the figure in white turned around.

The familiar face made Chi Shui stop sharply, staring at the other party's face changed a few times, and after a few breaths, he saw that the two Void Cultivators behind him did not step forward, so he relaxed his body and said, "It's Brother Qilian." ”
