After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

I was momentarily stunned by her words, but as she led me by her train of thought, I actually felt that I was being impolite and fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Yan seized the opportunity and said, "Never mind, I don't blame you. Can you let me into that water cave?" She pointed to the water cave at the end of the stream.

"No!" The stone statue was principled. "Only by finding a treasure and offering it as a sacrifice can the passage be opened."

Okay, she knew it wasn't that simple. "What treasure?"

"Please look."

As the stone statue spoke, a vision of a blue lotus appeared before it. The lotus petals were layered, each one shimmering with a crystalline blue light, like a dazzling star. After about ten seconds, the vision vanished.

This plant wasn't in the collection of spiritual plants, and she'd never seen a blue lotus before, though she'd just seen a red one. The statue didn't tell her where to look for it, only provided a video clip, without any other clues.

She tried to touch the stone statue, but the image of the blue lotus still appeared.

It's said that red and blue are kindred spirits since ancient times. Since the red lotus has appeared in the water, I wonder if the blue lotus is here too...

After Lin Yan discovered that her divine sense couldn't penetrate the water, she immediately opened her eyes to try and see what was at the bottom. However, the bottom was shrouded in mist, which acted like a thick curtain, completely obscuring everything below. She couldn't see anything clearly, and opening her eyes was useless.

So many crocodiles had just surfaced underwater that she didn't dare to go into the water rashly.

She can't swim; when she gets into the water, she can only rely on her spiritual power to create a barrier, using the power of the water and her spiritual power to propel herself through the barrier. In this situation, her combat strength will be greatly reduced.

I just regret that I can't swim. When I came out, I thought I had prepared everything, but I forgot to buy water-repellent beads!

Before, I thought they were too expensive to buy; now, I've forgotten to buy them...

Looking at the two little ones again, a bird and a rabbit, neither of them could swim.

Oh, I almost forgot, she can't swim, but can't the inner demon swim? The inner demon can't come out without a physical form, so she can just give it a physical form!
Lin Yan took out a high-grade spirit stone, transformed it into the shape of a fish, and then communicated with her inner demon in her sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, the inner demon is cultivating...

"Hey, I'll let you go out and see the world?"

The inner demon ignored her and remained silent.

“I know this place is making you uncomfortable, but I’m trying to find a way out now. If you don’t help me, we’ll be stuck here, which won’t do you any good either.”

The inner demon stirred. "So you didn't actually want to let me go out and see the world? Bah, you scumbag, you just tried to deceive my feelings!"

"..."

Lin Yan was speechless! The inner demon is a part of oneself; scolding it is the same as scolding oneself, isn't it?
"I need you to enter the body of the fish that the spirit stone has turned into, help me dive to the bottom of the water, and help me see what's there."

Since she shares a common consciousness with her inner demon, she can also see what's happening underwater through the demon's perspective. If there's any danger underwater, she can immediately pull the fish back.

She released the inner demon from her sea of ​​consciousness and infused it into the fish body formed from the spirit stone. The fish's eyes, which had seemed dead, instantly became lively, staring straight at her as if making a silent accusation.

Finally, without saying a word, it jumped into the water.

Oh... fish can't speak human language, so the inner demon can't even curse them!
Lin Yan had long ago established a connection with her inner demon, allowing her to see the underwater world from its perspective.

She imagined an underwater world composed of algae, strange rocks, and colorful magic fish, but the scene she received was one of countless skeletons and a lifeless atmosphere.

There wasn't a single fish in the water; the only living creatures she saw were the dark, inky water plants. The fish swam deeper, and the light gradually dimmed; the word "utterly dark" best described the riverbed. After searching all the way, Lin Yan saw neither red nor blue lotuses.

Strange, the fish was clearly in the spot where the red lotus had retreated, so why couldn't I see it?

Could it be that the flower was disposable, closing and disappearing without a trace after being attacked?
The voice of her inner demon echoed back into her consciousness, filled with impatience!

"Hey, what are you looking for? If you don't tell me, I'm swimming up. I don't want to stay underwater, I hate this place!"

"Blue Lotus".

"Don't I look like a blue lotus?"

As the fish paused to communicate with the people on the shore, a black crocodile emerged from the mud, opening its jaws to devour the fish!
I've never heard of crocodiles hiding in the mud at the bottom of rivers!
The fish struggled to swim and avoid being eaten.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to get eaten or do you want to see me fight a crocodile? Pull me up here!"

Lin Yan quickly pulled the fish out of the water, and under the refraction of light, she could see that the fish was covered with silk threads formed by spiritual power.

The fish thought it had been rescued, but unexpectedly the crocodile caught up with it and, just like when fishing, the crocodile also jumped out of the water.

The situation is becoming increasingly tense!

She extracted the inner demon and put it back into her sea of ​​consciousness. The fish turned into a spirit stone and was bitten by the crocodile.

She had never seen a black crocodile before, but its strength was around the seventh level.

When she was in a fighting position, she chose not to back down and charged forward with her sword.

The crocodile tried to dive back into the water, but the snow eagle grabbed it by the back first. However, the crocodile's weight prevented it from simply throwing the black crocodile onto the shore.

It can only use its innate ability to freeze the place where the black crocodile is located.

After Lin Yan made a few gestures, a force converged on the black crocodile, which was then thrown off and landed on the shore.

She and the two smaller ones worked together, flanking the black crocodile from three sides, leaving it with only land as its escape route.

It would be difficult for him to deal with a single seventh-tier demon beast on his own, but the situation is different when a seventh-tier Red Enchantress and a nearly fifth-tier Snow Frost Eagle are added to the mix.

This move was a case of outnumbering the enemy, and she was on the stronger side!
A seventh-tier demonic beast is considered a high-tier demonic beast no matter where it is placed, and is something that cultivators would avoid at all costs.

Unless it's a specially organized group of cultivators who have made thorough preparations for the hunt, no one would choose to take the risk.

However, at this moment, the seventh-tier black crocodile was being defeated by a cultivator and two demonic beasts working together.

The black crocodile, being a variant of the abyssal crocodile, was now in a sorry state, which damaged its reputation and gave it a suicidal urge.

This process required building up strength, but Lin Yan didn't give it that chance. She drained all the spiritual energy from her body and delivered a fatal blow. Fearing it wouldn't die enough, she added a few more fireballs.

Once she was certain it was dead beyond any doubt, Lin Yan immediately took out pills to heal herself and the two little ones and restore their strength. Then she took out high-grade spirit stones and absorbed spiritual energy together.

Once she had recovered sufficiently, she used her fifth-grade sword to infuse spiritual energy into the location of the beast core, dissolving it and picking it out.

The color of a beast core is related to the power of the beast. For example, if a beast breathes fire and its power is fire-based, then its core will be red. (End of Chapter)
