Chapter 1137 A Group of Landlubbers
When Shen Xiuyuan arrived, he saw Mu Jingjing standing by the river, with one leg dangling in the water, wondering if he had run in the wrong direction.

"Junior Sister Mu!" he shouted, trying to stop Mu Jingjing, who obviously couldn't swim, "Didn't Junior Brother Yu meet you?"

Mu Jingjing turned around, her face full of annoyance: "He went down to explore the way! If I had known, I would have learned to swim like a duck! Oh no!"

Monks are not proficient in everything, especially those who have just entered the sect and have low cultivation bases, who do not have enough time to improve themselves.

Mu Jingjing is a physical practitioner. Normally, he only focuses on strengthening his muscles and bones, and has the strength to move mountains. He never thinks about using his strength in water.

Masters will not force their disciples to learn how to swim or to learn certain techniques or skills.

There are thousands of things in the world, and masters are only responsible for imparting knowledge and teachings, so they don’t have the time to care about so many trivial matters.

Experience is used to make up for these deficiencies, so that the disciples know where they are lacking and where they need to work hard.

Including the handling of personal incidents, such as in Jintong's case, Chengkong had no intention of intervening. He threw the person out immediately and let Lin Fan and the others figure it out on their own.

So it was not surprising that Mu Jingjing, a foundation-building cultivator, could not use water. It was just because she had never been exposed to such situations before, so she naturally would not suddenly have such an idea.

Changtianmen is a major sect of immortal cultivation, and the separation between men and women is not as strict as in the secular world. But the necessary taboos still exist.

Mu Jingjing's master, Kuishan, is a male, a physical practitioner, and he is not a meticulous person. It is impossible for him to teach his female disciple how to swim.

This simple life skill is not a big deal in the eyes of the boss. It is just like climbing a tree. When the need arises, it will be learned naturally. Why does it need to be specially taken care of like a magic?

It doesn't mean that you can't go into the water if you can't swim. If you practice the Water Avoidance Technique, hold the Water Avoidance Bead, or have other underwater magic tools to protect your body, you don't have to be afraid. Of course, it's best to be able to cultivate to the Golden Core. It is said that at that time, the spiritual power can form a stable shield outside the body, allowing you to walk in the water for a short time...

But Shen Xiuyuan and Mu Jingjing don't have any of these things.

Not only Mu Jingjing, Shen Xiuyuan also can't swim.

He was born in a high family, and after entering Changtian Sect, he has been following Jingchen and concentrating on alchemy. He does not have a fire spirit root. Although wood can produce fire, it is still inferior to fire spirit roots. This difference caused Shen Xiuyuan to focus on alchemy and was not good at almost all trivial matters in life.

Logically speaking, the alchemist is treated as a distinguished guest wherever he goes. Why does he need to get involved?

Shen Xiuyuan has never encountered it anyway.

He had gone out for training a few times before and everything went smoothly and in order. Why did he always run into unexpected and difficult situations this time?

Shen Xiuyuan felt extremely regretful, but he couldn't show it in front of Mu Jingjing.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister." He calmed his mind and asked again. "Did you find anything else unusual along the way? I seem to have gone in the wrong direction. I should have reunited with Junior Brother Du."

"You're not mistaken." Mu Jingjing replied, "This is the direction Senior Brother Du came from. Senior Brother Yu and I went over there and found that the vortex was in the wrong direction, so we came this way."

"Oh~" Shen Xiuyuan felt relieved knowing that he had found the right place, and searched the river with his eyes. "Have you seen Junior Brother Du?"

"No!" Mu Jingjing was very impatient. "It was like this when we came here. Senior Brother Yu said that Senior Brother Du couldn't have gone astray, so he should go down first, or..."

Or maybe he was just like Lin Fan, encountering some force majeure situation.

Shen Xiuyuan didn't know how long it would take to arrive, and Mu Jingjing was extremely anxious. In order to comfort her, Yu Sinian said that he would go down and explore the way first.

Mu Jingjing's head was hot at the time, and she only remembered to ask Yu Sinian to go down quickly to see what was going on so as to save people. When he really went down, she remembered that if there was really a situation down there, wouldn't Yu Sinian be delivering food to the people down there?
Seeing that there was no movement on the water surface, she looked at the swirling water in the distance and became anxious again. She knew that she would sink if she went into the water, but she couldn't just stand on the shore and wait. Fortunately, Senior Brother Shen arrived!
Shen Xiuyuan felt bitter when he saw Junior Sister Mu's expectant look.

Turn back! He must learn a way to avoid water no matter what!

At this time, there was a movement on the water surface. As Yu Sinian's head rose from the water, Mu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon after, Du Xingyu also stuck his head out. He supported Yu Sinian, but kept muttering in disdain: "You dare to go into the water with your little ability?! I don't know who you are trying to embarrass?" Yu Sinian's face didn't look good, he must have suffered under the water.

Yes, even if you swim for a long time, it is easy to get into trouble.

It just so happened that Du Xingyu ran into this, otherwise...

Shen Xiuyuan's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all trembling, but he didn't care about anything else. He stepped into the water and helped the people.

By the time they helped the man to the shore, Mu Jingjing had already quickly lit a fire. She was worried about Lin Fan, but she didn't ignore her senior brother. If it weren't for her, Yu Sinian wouldn't have had to rush into the water earlier...

Yu Sinian and Du Xingyu sat down dripping with water all over their bodies. Mu Jingjing guiltily presented a small fireball to the two brothers, controlling it to help them ward off the cold.

"Oh, Junior Sister Mu is so thoughtful, thank you!" Du Xingyu smiled at Mu Jingjing, then frowned and threw something to Yu Sinian.

Shen Xiuyuan looked closely and found that it was actually a small jar of wine.

Du Xingyu also opened a jar and drank it. It can be seen that he did not dislike Yu Sinian as he said.

Seeing this, Shen Xiuyuan simply put out the food that had not been eaten before. "You guys eat something first."

The autumn nights in the north are still quite cold. After the two of them came out of the water and were blown by the wind, how could they just drink?

Du Xingyu drank half a jar of wine and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "Junior Sister Lin has entered the secret realm!"

Everyone else immediately looked at him.

"Are you sure?" Shen Xiuyuan asked.

"Sure." Du Xingyu took the roasted sparrow that Mu Jingjing handed to her, "I went down to take a look. I saw the hair ornament on Lin Fan's head from the highest glazed roof of the Crystal Palace. The silver one had many spikes. I joked that it was beautiful, so I got closer to take a look."

"Lin Fan must have known that we would come to find her, so he stayed there specifically to remind us." Mu Jingjing insisted.

As for how Lin Fan got up there, no one thought about it. Anyway, Junior Sister had many tricks, so it wasn't that difficult to get something up to the roof.

"Did you take a closer look?" Shen Xiuyuan asked again, "What's it like inside? Does it look dangerous?"

"It looks like a dead city. There's nothing outside and you can't see inside." Du Xingyu added, "I followed the flow in and watched from the top of the barrier. I didn't dare to try anything because I was afraid of getting separated from you again. But it shouldn't be possible to break through the barrier."

If the barrier of the underwater secret realm was so easy to break through, it would have been filled with water long ago.

"You did the right thing." Shen Xiuyuan nodded. "Among us, you are the only one who can move underwater, besides Junior Sister Lin. If you had gone in quietly, we would have been left staring blankly from the shore."

Du Xingyu can create breathable bubbles underwater, like an oxygen mask, to ensure people can breathe in the water. With him, not knowing how to swim is not a problem.

"If it's a dead city, she probably can't find the exit since she hasn't come out for such a long time." Yu Sinian said, "We have to go in. Otherwise, no matter if there is danger or not, she will be trapped and die in there."

Mu Jingjing immediately looked at Shen Xiuyuan and Du Xingyu, clenched her fists, and dared not speak.

"I have explored the area below," Du Xingyu frowned, "The empty door should be inside the vortex. But the airflow is so intense that the head shield may not be able to withstand it and break..."

The reason they can breathe freely underwater is because of the shield created by the wind power. If it breaks at the bottom of the river, Du Xingyu can still survive with his own power, but the other three have nothing to do with water or wind, so the danger is self-evident...

“I’ll go!” Mu Jingjing was the first to speak up. “I promised my master that I would protect Junior Sister Lin! I’m not afraid…”

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Du Xingyu smiled and waved his hand, asking her to relax. "I'm your senior brother here, so I can't let you go alone! Don't worry, I have a solution!"
