Drunk Immortal Gourd

So that's how it is. The Nine-Child Ghost Lotus usually grows underwater and is difficult to be discovered. Only when it is about to mature will it release a soaring black gas to attract others to pick it, so as to prevent the pearl from darkening. This Nine-Child Ghost Lotus was planted by the ancestor himself, so he naturally knew when it would mature. It is estimated that the date when this group of people came into the ruins was also calculated in advance.

Although it is a bit troublesome to pick the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus underwater, it is nothing for the Jindan cultivators present. Seeing that the task is about to be completed, everyone is relieved. Ghost Eagle said: "In this case, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus, wait for it to mature, and then refine it into the Lingming Heshou Pill and send the pill back to the Ghost Valley. Our mission will be completed."

After Ghost Eagle said this, the others stepped forward, but at this time Ghost He suddenly stopped them and said: "Wait a minute, everyone, things are not that simple."

Not that simple? What does this mean? Everyone turned their heads at the same time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Master Gui He explained: "How could such a treasure as the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus be easily obtained by us? When the ancestor discovered the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus six hundred years ago, there were two magic beasts living in this black water pond. The ancestor injured the stronger one, and the two magic beasts fled to the lake in the middle. It was too difficult to find them, so he let them go."

The surface of the black water pond is only a few dozen miles, and with the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus attracting it, it is relatively easy to find a magic beast. The surface of the lake in the middle is thousands of miles, and it is unknown how deep it is. How easy is it to search for a magic beast in it? Even for a Jindan cultivator, it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. No wonder Master Hun Li gave up that year.

Ghost Eagle said: "In six hundred years, the ancestor has grown from a late Jindan cultivator to a late Yuanying cultivator. The magic beast that escaped from him back then must be at the Yuanying level now, right? How can we be his opponent?"

Ghost He said: "It's not that serious. The ancestor searched the ruins for a long time and found no existence beyond the late Jindan level. Moreover, the violent aura in the ruins cannot survive even for those above the late Jindan level. Don't worry about that. Besides, it's so difficult for normal cultivators outside to break through the Yuanying level. How could there be a chance to break through the Yuanying level in such a small place in the ruins? If not, why didn't the ancestor come for six hundred years?"

That's right. They tried their best outside but couldn't find a chance to break through the Yuanying level. How could there be a magic beast that could easily break through in this small ruins? The ancestor discovered this ruins a long time ago and came in to explore it. It is estimated that there is nothing too good inside. Otherwise, the ancestor would try his best to come in again to find out in the past six hundred years.

Six hundred years have passed, and my ancestor is almost dead and needs to consider using Lingming Heshou Pill to prolong his life. How could the monsters survive until now? I guess even if there are monsters in there, they are the descendants of the original monsters and their strength will not be too high.

At this point, Master Guihe paused for a moment, and then continued: "Before coming here, the master and I discussed how to deal with this matter. Now there is still a lot of time before the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus matures as calculated by the ancestor. During this time, we can first move around the periphery and understand the surrounding environment. At the same time, we can find the hiding place of the monster in the black water pool. If the monster is not strong, we will kill it directly and wait for the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus to mature. If the monster is too strong, we will find a way to lead it to another place or temporarily trap it, at least it will not affect the alchemy." This is probably the best way to think of at present. Naturally, everyone has no objection. Then a group of people settled down in this place. At the same time, Master Guihe also made a simple division of labor for everyone. Master Guixia and Qingyang don’t need to do anything. They just need to adjust their mentality and make sure there are no problems when refining pills in the future. The other four people take turns to go out to find out the surrounding situation. Considering the situation here, Master Youmu also prepared a treasure for everyone in advance that has a certain effect on concealing whereabouts. It looks like a treasure armor and can be worn directly. Even when walking, it has a certain concealing effect on the whereabouts of the cultivators. As long as you are careful when approaching the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus, you should be able to avoid the detection of nearby monsters.

For a period of time afterwards, everyone lived on a reef outside the Black Water Pond. In order to prevent the monsters from suddenly appearing and discovering their whereabouts, Master Guihe also arranged a concealing formation on the reef. Everyone usually squeezed into the formation to meditate and rest.

Except for Qingyang and Master Guixia, the other four took turns wearing the treasure armor with concealing effects to go out to investigate the situation. Things seemed to be smoother than expected. In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Each of the four people went out several times, and nothing happened.

Of course, the situation nearby was also thoroughly investigated by them. The entire Black Water Pond is about fifty or sixty miles in radius, with hundreds of reefs distributed, and there is no danger above the water surface.

As for the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus, they also found it. It was growing underwater in the middle of the Black Water Pond. One had to dive dozens of feet to see it. The Nine-Child Ghost Lotus had already produced lotus pods, but it was not yet mature. According to Master Guihe's calculations, it would take about two more months to mature. It seemed that Master Youmu was worried about missing the deadline and let them enter the ruins so long in advance.

Finding the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus means half of the mission is done. The rest is to wait for it to mature and refine the elixir. However, what worries everyone is that there is indeed a magic beast in the black water pool. Because he is worried about being discovered by the magic beast, Master Guihe only observes from a distance wearing a hidden armor and can only understand some general situations.

The magic beast is said to be called the Black Water Demon Snake. It is ten feet long and is a ninth-level peak magic beast. It is only one step away from breaking through the tenth level. It usually rests near the Nine-Child Ghost Lotus and will not easily leave. According to Master Hunli's inference, this Black Water Demon Snake is probably the most powerful magic beast in the ruins. No wonder this area is calm and peaceful. Qingyang and his team have not encountered any danger since entering the oasis. It turns out that there is a ninth-level peak Black Water Demon Snake sitting here, and other magic beasts dare not come here.

The ninth-order peak demon beast is actually similar to Master Guihe's ninth-level perfect cultivation of the Golden Core, but the Black Water Demon Snake is hiding at the bottom of the Black Water Pond. He has lived here all his life and has all the advantages of the terrain. It is almost impossible for Master Guihe to defeat the Black Water Demon Snake.
