Yushou boundary, southeast of Zhenzhou, there is a spiritual lake.

Because there is a cold spring at the bottom of the lake to communicate with the underground dark lake, and because the lake is like a half moon, it is called Hanyue Lake.

The surface of Hanyue Lake is not large, but the underground dark lake is thousands of miles long. The cold in the water of the dark lake is pressing, even if a cultivator does not have a special means to protect against the cold, he will easily dive to the bottom of the lake, and he will be invaded by the cold, and he will either die or be injured.

In the dark lake below this lake, there is a kind of mussel specialty, which can give birth to a kind of pearl, called "Cold Spirit Pearl", which is a very famous spiritual object in the cultivation world, and can refine several precious pills.

On the shore of Hanyue Lake, there is a Xiuzhen family surnamed Zhao who has settled here, and it has been inherited for thousands of years.

The Zhao family of Cold Moon Lake has benefited from the output of this lake, and it is growing day by day, and now there are four foundation building monks in the family, which is one of the best families in Zhenzhou.

Although the cold spirit bead is precious, it can only be collected by going deep into the dark lake, and there are many demon beasts in the dark lake, and it is extremely cold, and if one is not good, it will die in it.

Hundreds of years ago, every time the Zhao family entered the lake to collect spirit beads, they would lose many of their children.

But hundreds of years ago, the patriarch of the Zhao family at that time was ingenious, no longer collecting spirit beads by himself, but sealing the lake with a jiazi, and then recruiting the Quartet to cultivate into the lake to collect pearls during the Qi cultivation period.

The Zhao family didn't want the cold spirit beads harvested by casual cultivation, but when they entered the dark lake, they needed to pay a sum of spirit stones as a toll fee.

In this way, no matter how many people are killed or injured in the lake, they will not be able to damage the strength of the Zhao family, and because the fee for entering the lake is charged, no matter whether everyone has gained it or not, the Zhao family can be regarded as a drought and flood to ensure the harvest!

More importantly, the Zhao family's move can be regarded as giving up part of the interests of Cold Moon Lake, and no longer monopolizing it, making the surrounding red-eyed forces give up their plans to fight for control of Cold Moon Lake, eliminating a lot of covetous eyes.

This move by the patriarch of the Zhao family at that time made the Zhao family's strength grow rapidly in hundreds of years.

Now, the day of opening the lake every other Jiazi has arrived. The Quartet began to gather, and other surrounding families and sects also sent people to participate, preparing to go to the dark lake to make a profit.

The Zhao family set up a registration point by the Cold Moon Lake, and those who want to enter the lake can receive a token as long as they pay a spirit stone here, and enter the underground dark lake with the token three days later.

There was a long queue in front of the registration point, and thousands of people came to participate.

An inconspicuous young man in white is also hidden in the team.

This person is Zhu Youdao, who came across the border.

In terms of appearance, he can be regarded as a beautiful man, plus he has cultivated pure yang skills, and has a yang and elegant temperament, especially for the opposite sex, there is an inexplicable attraction.

If you don't hide it, he will stand out like a chicken at this time, dazzling, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

But Zhu Youdao didn't want to be eye-catching, so he changed his appearance in advance, and used the phantom mirror to hide his breath, so it looked mediocre.

After Zhu Youdao came to the Yushou Realm, he first mixed in the mortal world for a month, learned about the customs of this world, and disguised himself as a qi cultivator, and got acquainted with several loose cultivators.

Then he traveled all the way to the southeast of Jinju.

After hearing that Cold Moon Lake was about to open, he rushed over.

The Cold Spirit Bead can refine several elixirs in this realm, and although the value is high, it is not irreplaceable.

But this thing is extremely important to Zhu Youdao.

The secret method of "Qing Ming Eye" that he cultivated needed to be assisted by refining the Qing Ming Pill in order to practice, and the Cold Spirit Bead was one of the main spiritual materials for refining the second-order Qing Ming Pill.

In the Vermilion Bird Realm, the output of the Cold Spirit Bead is very small, Zhu Youdao has run to many markets and cannot find it, and he can't imagine that there is an output in the Cold Moon Lake in the Yushou Realm.

The secret technique of the Qing Ming Eye is extremely important, and Zhu Youdao naturally will not miss this opportunity.

After lining up in the queue for more than an hour, Zhu Youdao finally arrived at the front.

According to the rules of the Zhao family, the monks of the foundation building period are not allowed to participate in this matter, otherwise the spirit mussels in the underground dark lake will only be over-collected, which will have a great impact on the future interests of the Zhao family.

Therefore, the Zhao family sent two foundation building monks to sit here to screen whether there were foundation building monks mixed in.

Zhu Youdao has a secret method of suppressing cultivation, coupled with the disguise effect of the magic weapon "Phantom Mirror", unless it is a Jindan monk who has crossed a large realm, or has cultivated the secret technique of spiritual eye like him, it is difficult to be seen through the cultivation.

The two foundation building monks were also too confident, and they just swept away with their divine sense casually and stopped caring about him.

Zhu Youdao handed over the spirit stone and successfully received the pass token.

The entrance to the underground lake is at the bottom of Cold Moon Lake, and is channeled by a cold spring.

This passage was guarded by a magic circle arranged by the Zhao family, and if you want to go down to the dark lake, there is only this one way to go.

Three days later, Zhu Youdao followed the crowd into the underground dark lake under the guidance of the people of the Zhao family.

As soon as I entered the dark lake, there was a biting chill.

The pure yang mana cultivated by Zhu Youdao is the most cold nemesis of this kind, and he uses his mana a little to dispel the cold.

But the others were not as easy as him, some people took the specially prepared cold pills, some people took out the cold protection magic weapons, everyone showed their means, and went in all directions, they wanted to collect the cold spirit beads before the others.

Zhu Youdao used his divine sense to check, the underground dark lake is a huge underground space, I don't know how big it is, but according to the Zhao family, there are at least thousands of miles long.

Moreover, the dark lake space is not full of water, and there are islands of different sizes.

Just below the entrance is the largest of these islands.

Zhu Youdao was not in a hurry to leave, he found a place to meditate in place, and after a while, no one from above came down, and the people below also scattered. Only then did he get up leisurely, took out a pole array flag from the storage bag, and set up a magic circle on the spot.

An hour later, the great array was formed.

Zhu Youdao walked out of the magic circle, looked around, and then found a direction to step on the waves.

According to the Zhao family and the monks who had participated in the collection of cold spirit beads in the past, there were many demon beasts in the underground dark lake of Cold Moon Lake, but most of them were first-order, and occasionally a few second-order demon beasts appeared, all of which were killed by the foundation building monks of the Zhao family.

Therefore, the biggest danger in the underground dark lake is not the demon beast, but the cold.

If it weren't for Zhu Youdao, who practiced the practice of not being afraid of the cold, he could only think of another way to keep out the cold, otherwise it would be difficult for even a foundation building monk to stay in the dark lake for three days, and the monk during the Qi cultivation period would not be able to stay here for a long time.

Zhu Youdao tread the waves all the way and came to a small island to stop. His consciousness swept around, and then he used his mana to condense into a big hand and fished out a lake mussel the size of a basin.

He flicked his fingers on the shell of the mussel, the body of the mussel trembled slightly, and the two hard shells involuntarily separated.

Zhu Youdao took out an ice crystal-like pearl with two fingers and put it in front of his eyes to see, this was exactly the cold spirit pearl he was looking for.

He nodded in satisfaction and threw the mussels into the water.

Putting away the cold spirit beads, Zhu Youdao took out a few more array flags and set up a magic circle on the island.

Then he took off the phantom mirror and put it away, and then collected the secret method of concealing the aura, revealing the pure yang aura, and waited in place.

In just a moment's effort, a demon beast was attracted by his pure yang breath, broke through the waves, and went straight to Zhu Youdao's door.

This demon beast was only a first-order mid-grade, and Zhu Youdao released a flying sword and killed it casually.

After a while, another demon beast was attracted to it.

This time there were a bit too many, and there were four demon beasts roaring on the island, and the strongest was a first-order high-grade crocodile demon beast.

Zhu Youdao's flying knife came out in a row, and he quickly solved the four-headed demon beast.

He used himself as bait to catch demon beasts like fishing.

It's a pity that the level of these demon beasts is too low, and the value is not great, and after fishing a few waves of demon beasts, Zhu Youdao lost his interest in fishing, collected the magic circle used to prevent accidents, and continued to move forward.
