342: blue beads

Xu Qing said with a smile, "Now that the Spirit Medicine has been collected, let's sit down and distribute it!"

"There are a few Spirit Medicine plants that we can absorb now, which can immediately boost our combat power."

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly and chuckled, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, could you wait for me a moment? I want to go to the bottom of the lake to take a look."

Hearing this, Xu Qing and Li Changbai were both slightly stunned.

"Is there something at the bottom of this lake?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "Indeed."

Because just now, when Lu Xingchen opened the System panel, he noticed an exclamation mark at the bottom of the lake.

It was exactly the same as when he encountered that sculpture last time.

Needless to say, there must be a treasure at the bottom of this lake.

Li Changbai said in a deep voice, "Since you are the only one among us three who can sense that item, then most likely only you can absorb it. How about it, do you need me to go down with you?"

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly and chuckled, "No need. Senior Brother, Senior Sister, just wait for me on the shore."

Li Changbai handed Lu Xingchen a jade pendant and said in a deep voice, "If you encounter danger, crush this jade pendant, and I will come down immediately to help. It's also a bit inconvenient for me to go down with you, as it might affect your absorption of the treasure."

Lu Xingchen took the jade pendant and chuckled, "Second Senior Brother is thoughtful. Since that's the case, I'll go down now!"

With that, Lu Xingchen no longer hesitated, leaped, and jumped into the lake.

"Word Spirit, Dustless Land!"

A colorless barrier appeared around his body, and even though he was in the lake water, his clothes remained perfectly dry.

This lake was shallow compared to the Dragon Pool back then, but it was still five hundred meters deep.

Lu Xingchen spent some time sinking to the bottom of the lake.

Following the guidance of the system map, he saw a blue glowing pearl.

Although he didn't know what this pearl was for, its value certainly wouldn't be too low.

Just as Lu Xingchen reached out his right hand to touch the pearl, the sound of flowing water suddenly echoed around him.

Three fish-like Yao Beasts swam over, surrounding Lu Xingchen and blocking his retreat.

Lu Xingchen looked at the heads of the three fish-like Yao Beasts, and they were all at the Eighth Order Five Stars (power level) cultivation level.

One must know that even Li Changbai, whose Soul Realm had broken through to the Heavenly Spirit, had only managed to defeat one Eighth Order Five Stars (power level) Yao Beast.

And Lu Xingchen was directly facing three.

These three fish-like Yao Beasts looked like hammerhead sharks. In terms of Bloodline, they were certainly not as good as that Azure Flood Dragon, but they were in the water now, and the strength of fish-like Yao Beasts would greatly increase.

The combat power unleashed by these three fish-like Yao Beasts working together would certainly not be weaker than the Azure Flood Dragon.

Lu Xingchen, as usual, started with some pleasantries.

"Lu Dazhuang of Lingyun Sect greets the three Fellow Daoist of the Yao Race. My goal is only this pearl; we have no grievances or enmities, so there's no need to fight."

The three fish-like Yao Beasts opened their mouths simultaneously, and three water arrows shot out from their mouths, attacking Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen's expression immediately darkened. He activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, instantly teleporting outside the circle.

The three water arrows collided, stirring up a storm at the bottom of the lake and creating huge waves.

These three big-headed creatures clearly had no intention of communicating with him; they went straight for the kill.

Since that was the case, he didn't need to be polite either.

"Word Spirit, Divine Descent Heavenly Spirit!"

"Moon Gazing Art!"

Lu Xingchen clasped his hands together, simultaneously using two secret arts.

His aura instantly soared, and his Realm increased from Eight-Star Martial Ancestor to Three-Star Martial Venerable.

Such a huge change shocked the three fish-like Yao Beasts immensely.

"What terrifying amplification! It seems this kid is not simple; he might have a powerful force backing him."

"So what? This is inside the master's Immortal Cave. No matter how great his background, it won't affect us."

"Let's finish this quickly; I have a bad feeling."

Lu Xingchen grinned and said in a deep voice, "Three Old Scum, have you finally decided to speak?"

The three Yao still ignored Lu Xingchen, merely opening their mouths again, and three water columns rushed towards Lu Xingchen.

Facing the combined attack of three Eighth Order Five Stars (power level) Yao Beasts, Lu Xingchen did not dare to be careless. He quickly activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, instantly teleporting to the other side.

The three fish-like Yao Beasts were not fools either; they immediately understood Lu Xingchen's displacement pattern.

For the next attack, each of them shot out two water arrows. Although the power was somewhat diminished, the attack range was wider, covering five shadow sword scabbards and Lu Xingchen's main body.

Lu Xingchen grinned.

Since he couldn't dodge, he wouldn't dodge!

He raised the shadow sword high, activated "Void-Shattering Slash," and a white Sword Qi split the water arrow flying towards him in two.

Seeing this, the three Yao were all greatly astonished.

"How is this possible? Even if his Realm temporarily increased to Three-Star Martial Venerable, he shouldn't be able to withstand my attack! There's still a gap of two minor Realms between us."

"This Human Race kid is so strange! We must be careful!"

"A mere Eight-Star Martial Ancestor, yet he can survive under the combined attack of the three of us. This Human Race kid has some skill!"

Lu Xingchen grinned again, "What's wrong? Finally willing to talk to me?"

The leading fish-like Yao Beast snorted coldly.

"Just a clown. Although I don't know how you did it, your secret art probably won't last too long. As long as the three of us stall you for a certain amount of time, we can definitely kill you!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "So, I have to take the initiative to attack!"

Although Lu Xingchen's Realm was only Eight-Star Martial Ancestor, he had secret arts and many talents.

Strong Strike increases normal attack damage, Berserk increases critical hits, Blade Edge increases sword-type weapon damage, Devour weakens opponents and strengthens himself, Vanguard increases damage, Blade Breaker increases penetration.

These six talents greatly increased his combat power. Dealing with ordinary Eighth Order Five Stars (power level) Yao Beasts was simply too easy.

"Soul Breaking Art!"

Lu Xingchen let out a low shout, and a black Soul handprint appeared above his head.

These three Yao Beasts had, after all, reached Eighth Order Five Stars (power level). Yao Beasts were known for their strong Physical Body power, and even with many talents, Lu Xingchen was not confident he could kill them quickly.

And once he fell into a war of attrition, with his limited secret art time, he would suffer greatly.

Therefore, it was better to combine Soul attacks and Qi attacks!

The three fish-like Yao Beasts also saw through Lu Xingchen's thoughts and were shocked again.

"Spirit Realm Great Perfection? An Eight-Star Martial Ancestor actually possesses such powerful Soul Power!"

"The Soul Power of the Yao Race is inherently weaker than that of the Human Race, and this kid's Soul Power far exceeds that of ordinary Martial Ancestor Expert. If he really hits us, we will definitely suffer greatly!"

"What are you afraid of? This kid is alone, and we have three. We can wear him down and kill him!"
