12: Chapter 12: Escaping to the Seabed, Slaying a Demon and Receiving a Surprise

The cultivation world is like this; as long as one has Spirit Stones, cultivation speed is not slow. After all, there are plenty of various Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Two years later, Li Luochen would only be fifty years old, with thirty years remaining. With the System, reaching Qi Refining 10th Layer from Qi Refining Stage 7 isn't hard; he might even have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage by then.

Therefore, after obtaining Spirit Stones, Li Luochen naturally aimed to increase his cultivation as much as possible.

As long as their cultivation is strong enough, they can obtain more benefits.

For example, Spiritual Veins—currently he only dares to nurture a Low Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein. If he Breakthroughs, he can nurture a Medium Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein.

At that time, the annual harvest of the Qianlong Li Family will increase significantly.

After purchasing the earth pulse stalactite milk, Li Luochen didn't linger and quickly headed out of the Qingsha Market.

With his two previous experiences, he left Qingsha Island with ease.

However, it wasn't as safe this time. Not long after leaving Qingsha Island, he felt a certain sense of danger coming from behind.

Li Luochen was startled and couldn't help but speed up. It seemed he had been targeted when he bought the earth pulse stalactite milk. This was a bit troublesome.

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Li Luochen, and he instantly dove into the sea.

This was only the outer sea area, not far from the mainland cultivation world, and within the territory of the Qingsha Sect. The Yao Beasts in the sea had mostly been cleared out.

Under these circumstances, entering the sea significantly increased his safety.

After all, he didn't know the cultivation level of those behind him. If they were Qi Refining 8th or 9th layer Cultivators, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Even if he had a High Grade Rank 1 spiritual talisman on him, he didn't dare to fight them head-on.

It was better to submerge directly into the sea. The situation underwater was unknown, and the opponents might not have tracking methods.

Sure enough, as he entered the sea and headed toward the depths, five figures quickly flew toward the area.

"He disappeared from here; he probably entered the sea. Big Brother, what should we do?"

The leader frowned and asked, "Can you sense his scent in the sea?"

The one who spoke earlier shook his head. "Big Brother, my Spell is only at Minor Achievement; I can't track him in the sea."

If it were a freshwater lake, he might have some confidence, but it wouldn't work in seawater.

Hearing this, a look of frustration flashed in the eyes of the others.

"Are we just going to let it go? That was ten drops of earth pulse stalactite milk."

The leader looked back at him and asked coldly, "If we don't let it go, what then? Are you going into the sea to find him?"

After speaking, he flew off into the distance, his voice reaching their ears.

"He isn't our only target. Let's go check out other fat sheep."

The group then realized that it didn't matter if they missed Li Luochen; they had their eyes on several fat sheep.

Li Luochen didn't know they had left. After entering the sea, he kept diving deeper, then cast the Water Repelling Art and quickly flew in a certain direction.

The seabed wasn't very safe. Li Luochen flew slowly and carefully, yet his path was still blocked by a Yao Beast.

Li Luochen didn't hesitate. Casting the Water Repelling Art and flying on his Flying Sword, he moved at high speed back the way he came.

This was the seabed; if a big battle broke out here, he might not be a match for the opponent.

The Yao Beast was stunned, not expecting Li Luochen to flee immediately, and it gave chase.

This was a fish-type Yao Beast, only a Middle Stage Rank 1 Yao Beast, but its mouth full of fangs was terrifying to behold.

Seeing Li Luochen flee, the fish Yao Beast chased him at high speed.

After all, in the water, Li Luochen's speed couldn't match the opponent's.

Feeling the danger from behind, Li Luochen stopped instantly, and his High Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword shot directly toward the opponent.

The fish Yao saw him stop and opened its large mouth to bite him.

It didn't expect the Flying Sword to suddenly fly in, entering its mouth and bursting out from its body.

Blood quickly stained the area red. The fish Yao Beast let out an unwilling roar and finally lost its breath.

Li Luochen was delighted. He hadn't expected to solve this Yao Beast so easily. He quickly gathered the items from the Yao Beast and flew toward where the Yao Beast had come from.

This wasn't a place to linger. Although he had just taken advantage and killed the fish Yao, the smell of blood could easily attract other Yao Beasts.

The battle just now was a bit too surreal; Li Luochen still hadn't fully processed it.

Mainly because killing this Yao Beast was too simple. If those Cultivators who made a living hunting Yao Beasts knew, they would definitely be extremely envious and jealous.

Traveling forward, he soon reached the place where he encountered the fish Yao, and Li Luochen quickly began searching.

Since a Yao Beast appeared here, its lair must be nearby. He wanted to see what good things were in its lair.

However, finding things in the sea wasn't easy. After searching for a long time, Li Luochen finally saw a small cave entrance emitting Spiritual Qi.

Li Luochen's eyes lit up, and he quickly headed toward the cave. The fish Yao looked large, but the lair didn't look like much.

But as Li Luochen approached the cave, a feeling of dread washed over him.

"Not good, danger!"

Without any hesitation, Li Luochen immediately moved backward at high speed.

Swish!

A long, slender fish Yao rushed toward his position, its bloody maw filled with sharp teeth.

Seeing the aura on the opponent, Li Luochen breathed a sigh of relief. The Flying Sword cut through the seawater, heading for the opponent's large mouth.

With his previous experience, dealing with this fish Yao was even easier.

Sure enough, this Middle Stage Rank 1 Yao Beast was directly dealt with from the inside by the Flying Sword.

Quickly collecting the fish Yao's corpse, Li Luochen appeared at the cave entrance at high speed.

Although the entrance wasn't large, he could enter by stooping.

After entering, he found a hidden world within—a vast space.

The space was about six mu in size, and the Spiritual Qi was very dense. Unfortunately, there was nothing but bones.

"No, that's not right. I shouldn't say there's nothing. The Spiritual Qi here is so dense; there must be a Spiritual Vein."

Li Luochen quickly investigated and soon found a spring eye the size of a bowl in a small cave, with Spiritual Qi constantly bubbling out.

"A Spirit Eye! It's actually a Spirit Eye! Hahahaha!"

He never expected to find a Spirit Eye in a Middle Stage Rank 1 Yao Beast's lair. This was an essential component for a High Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein.

Although the High Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein was on the seabed, it didn't mean it couldn't be used. Whether for secluded cultivation or opening spirit fields, it was possible.

However, keeping this place wouldn't be easy, as this High Grade Rank 1 Spiritual Vein was on the seabed.

Li Luochen quickly took out a set of Low Grade Rank 1 Spirit Locking Formation Plates and set them up at the cave entrance to isolate the leaking Spiritual Qi, lest it attract other Yao Beasts.

After doing this, he quickly went back to the pile of bones and began rummaging through them.

Besides the Spiritual Vein and the Spirit Eye, there was only this pile of bones; he didn't even see any Spiritual Materials.
