Since making the decision to go find the cold jade in the water on his own.

Hou Jiuming did his best to prepare.

While practicing hard, he uses his free time to draw talismans.

I also took time out to familiarize myself with my rituals.

Time passed quietly in such a hectic manner.

It wasn't until this day that the aura in the sky above Hou Jiuming's residence was chaotic for a while, and then quickly disappeared, and this kind of day was over.

Coming out of the cultivation room, he had a smile on his face.

After a month of hard work, coupled with the assistance of a large number of blue water elixirs, today I finally broke through the eighth layer of qi training.

Unlike the calm in the later stage of the breakthrough, the eighth layer of Qi cultivation was only a breakthrough in the small realm, and it did not make much noise.

"It's time to go!"

After such a long time of preparation, I not only became familiar with the magic weapon, but also had a sufficient reserve of talismans.

With his current talisman reserves, he would not be stunned at all even if he encountered the foundation building period.

Just do it when you think of it, on the same day, Hou Jiuming left Linjiang City and set off towards Qianyu Country.

Qianyu Country, as you can tell just by the name, is a country with very rich water resources.

This is indeed the case, and within the Qianyu country, there are countless large and small lakes and rivers, turning the entire country into islands.

Thus, there is the name of Qianyu Country.

Because this time it's a aimless search,

Therefore, Hou Jiuming did not choose to fly, but took a flat boat and went against the Huajiang River to Qianyu Country.

Downstream of Linjiang City, is the country of Mingfeng,

Along the Huajiang River, there is the country of Shaoyue on the left and the country of Qianyu on the right.

To get to the country of Shaoyue, you have to take the land route.

And to go to Qianyu country, you only need to find a waterway branch to reach, which is very convenient.

A flat boat, on which is placed a small square table, a few side dishes, plus a pot of turbid wine.

Hou Jiuming held a wine glass and enjoyed the scenery along the way while tasting.

And this small boat has no oars and is not going with the water, but it is strangely going against the current.

And the speed is not generally fast.

Fortunately, there was no boat branch on the river passing by to see it, otherwise, you would have to shout immortals.

After traveling against the current for about dozens of miles, and when he saw a fork in a river, Hou Jiuming didn't even hesitate, so he steered the boat and turned directly into it.

At this point, it has become a downstream.

There is no need for him to push with all his mana, he just needs to keep the balance of the boat in the water.

All the way down the river, the green shadows of the green hills along the coast are reflected, and the birds are constantly circling.

The rushing river rolled up white waves, pushing the boat forward quickly.

In this case, in less than half a day's journey, the boat came to a large lake.

After the boat was pushed down to the center of the lake by inertia, Hou Jiuming stood up.

"According to the news, the most likely place for the cold jade in the water is in the deep water area, which is so big that the divine sense can't probe to the end, it should be considered deep!"

With this in mind, he took out a water amulet from the storage space.

Knowing that he was going to the water to look for it, it was naturally impossible for him to be unprepared.

The primary high-grade water amulet can form a light curtain in the water to envelop the user.

Let it move and breathe freely in the water.

It is a very practical talisman.

But because the starting point is a high-grade talisman, its price is very high.

Unless there is an urgent need, no one wants to stock up on such a useless and expensive talisman.

Mana poured into the talisman, and after a flash of spiritual light, the talisman seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and it was only attached to Hou Jiuming's body, and after that, a layer of light began to emerge with the talisman as the center.

When his whole body was shrouded, Hou Jiuming jumped lightly and jumped into the water from the boat.

"Normal~"

Between the splashes, the whole person sank rapidly.

After the initial bubble tumbling, the vision in front of me quickly recovered.

There are all kinds of fish that are scared to run away because of his entry into the water,

Below, it's pitch black.

I don't know how deep this lake is.

Anyway, his fifteen-meter range of divine consciousness didn't find the edge.

"Is this water really clean?"

After getting used to the situation in the water a little, Hou Jiuming immediately took action.

With a wave of his hand, a force hit the water above his head, and a reaction force appeared, taking him slowly down.

Every once in a while, a burst of force is struck.

In this case, just a dozen breaths, and then came to the bottom of the lake.

According to his estimates, the depth of the water here is about thirty meters.

Unlike looking down from above, when you actually stand at the bottom of the lake, it is not completely dark, but because of the light refracted into the water, you can see everything in full view.

The bottom of the lake is full of life, with swaying aquatic plants, schools of fish, and some shipwrecks that have rotted in their eyes.

Seeing such a situation for the first time, Hou Jiuming couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"It's beautiful, it's quiet!"

At the bottom of the lake, although a large number of fish are moving, there is not a single sound, as if two worlds have been formed above the water.

One is singing birds and flowers, the other is quiet but full of life.

Standing quietly at the bottom of the lake and admiring it for a while, Hou Jiuming remembered the purpose of his trip.

So, I quickly adjusted my mentality and began to wander around the bottom of the lake.

The biggest feature of cold jade in water is that it can affect the environment of a small area of water.

This makes the temperature of the water area very different from that of the same water.

As long as there is the existence of cold jade in the water, that small piece must be a forbidden area for living beings.

There are no fish or aquatic plants that survive.

Of course, because it's in the soil, this common sense doesn't work a lot of the time.

Therefore, Hou Jiuming worked tirelessly to search carefully at the bottom of the lake.

Just the top-grade water avoidance talisman, he used up three, if it wasn't for the talisman he made himself, I'm afraid it would have hurt at this time.

It is not for nothing that the cold jade in the water will be so precious.

The three talismans ran out of energy, and they didn't find the target, and Hou Jiuming didn't stay, he returned directly to the boat and continued to look for the next place.

Before coming, he had already been mentally prepared for this.

So, the first time I didn't find it, there was nothing to be frustrated about.

If this thing were so easy to find, it wouldn't be so precious.

…………

Time is in a hurry, more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Hou Jiuming drove a small boat, circling around the various lakes and rivers in Qianyu Country, and almost all the places with deep water went down to look for it.

However, even so, there was not the slightest shadow of cold jade in the water.

This kind of aimless search, if it weren't for his determination, I'm afraid he would have given up a long time ago.

One sunny morning, Hou Jiuming was struggling to move around at the bottom of the lake.

This lake is not big, the surface area is about 1,000 square meters, and the bottom of the lake is even smaller, six or seven hundred square meters.

Originally, he didn't hold out any hope, after all, he didn't find anything more than this lake, so it was strange that such a small lake could exist.
