After Becoming an Immortal, It Makes Sense to Have a Universal Treasure Pot

36: Sneak AttackThe Kan Water Profound Spirit Pool was located deep within the Mystic Realm. The pool water was as dark and deep as ink, surrounded by towering cliffs. On the cliffs grew Spirit Medicine emitting a faint blue light.

Water Lingmiao stood by the pool, holding the Profound Water Spirit Sword in her hand. The sword body glowed with a faint blue light, reflecting the pool water.

“Another batch of Profound Spirit Grass has grown in this pool water. It will be very beneficial for Ling’er’s cultivation.”

“It’s a pity that the Spirit Medicine for breaking through to the late Foundation Establishment stage grows deep within the spirit pool. I can’t retrieve it by myself.”

Water Lingmiao murmured softly to herself.

Just as she was about to gather the Spirit Medicine, she suddenly felt a strong killing intent approaching from behind her.

“Who!”

Water Lingmiao spun around abruptly, the Profound Water Spirit Sword drawing a blue sword light that pointed directly behind her.

“Boom!” The sword light collided with a black spiritual energy, stirring up a wave of air.

Water Lingmiao focused her gaze and saw a Cultivator dressed in animal hides with a black mask covering his face standing not far away. He held a dagger that gleamed with cold light in his hand.

“Late Foundation Establishment!”

Water Lingmiao’s heart tightened, but her expression remained calm. She said coldly, “Who is Fellow Daoist, and why are you ambushing me?”

This person resembled the native inhabitants Water Lingmiao had encountered when she first entered the Mystic Realm, but his cultivation was much higher.

He was the first time she had encountered a native inhabitant in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

The Masked Cultivator did not reply. His figure flickered, and he attacked Water Lingmiao again.

Water Lingmiao did not dare to be careless. With a wave of her Profound Water Spirit Sword, the sword light surged towards the opponent like a tide.

At the same time, she flipped her left hand, and the Hanhai Wheel appeared in her hand. The wheel body spun, creating a surge like a tsunami.

This was precisely her High Grade Foundation Establishment spirit artifact, the Hanhai Wheel, which was both offensive and defensive. Like the Hanhai Talisman she gave Xu Qi’an, it was quite impressive.

There was naturally a reason why Water Lingmiao’s Lingmiao Market could rank among the top three markets in Yue Country.

With her own Talisman experience and spirit artifacts, she could contend with a late Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The sword light and the dagger collided, producing crisp sounds.

Water Lingmiao and the Masked Cultivator were locked in a fierce battle, going back and forth, and for a time, neither gained the upper hand.

However, just as Water Lingmiao was fully focused on dealing with the Masked Cultivator, a green sword light suddenly attacked from the side.

Water Lingmiao was caught off guard and was hit in the back by the sword light. Her protective spiritual light shattered instantly, and she immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Lu Guangtian!”

Water Lingmiao turned to look and saw Lu Guangtian standing not far away, holding a top-grade spirit artifact, the Yi Wood Green Spirit Sword, in his hand, with a cold smile on his face.

“Daoist Shui, how was that strike?”

Lu Guangtian said indifferently, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

Water Lingmiao clutched her wound, her eyes filled with shock and anger: “Lu Guangtian, why did you ambush me?”

Lu Guangtian sneered: “Why? Naturally, for the treasures in this Mystic Realm.”

“Treasures? What other treasures are in this Mystic Realm? Could it be treasures for breaking through to Dan Formation!” Water Lingmiao’s heart trembled, and she suddenly thought of this possibility.

“But isn’t this a Foundation Establishment Mystic Realm! And according to my investigation, there’s nothing else here at all!”

“If there were Dan Formation treasures, why wouldn’t the Floating Cloud Sect intervene!”

“Heh heh, you don’t need to worry about that, Daoist Shui!”

After he finished speaking, he familiarly stood together with the Masked Cultivator. Their eyes were cold, as if they had already colluded.

“You actually colluded with the native inhabitants!”

“Lu Guangtian, aren’t you afraid your actions will be exposed!”

Water Lingmiao roared angrily, her heart sinking, knowing that her situation today was precarious.

Lu Guangtian did not give Water Lingmiao time to react. He did not answer, and instead attacked together with the Black-faced Cultivators.

As soon as they attacked, it was with the force of thunder!

Two pressures of late Foundation Establishment spiritual energy instantly swept over!

She gritted her teeth, took out several second-tier High Grade Hanhai Talismans from her storage bag, and threw them violently at the two of them.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Hanhai Talismans exploded in the air, transforming into monstrous waves that temporarily forced Lu Guangtian and the Masked Cultivator back.

“Daoist Shui, is this your trump card! It’s too clumsy!”

Lu Guangtian sneered. With a slash of the sword light in his hand, he cut the giant waves in front of him in half.

Water Lingmiao, however, seized the opportunity to leap into the Kan Water Profound Spirit Pool.

The pool water was bone-chillingly cold, but she couldn’t care less. She quickly dived to the bottom of the pool along the undercurrent.

“Want to run?”

Lu Guangtian snorted coldly. Just as he was about to pursue, he suddenly felt a powerful Formation force surge from the pool water, firmly restricting him in place.

“Second-tier High Grade Profound Water Formation!”

“When did Water Lingmiao set this up!”

Lu Guangtian’s expression changed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that Water Lingmiao had set up such a powerful Formation in the pool water.

“Damn it!”

“Can’t waste time here, the opening time there is limited!”

Lu Guangtian cursed angrily, then turned and left.

“Go find the others first, then kill her later!”

On the other side, Xu Qi’an was locked in a fierce battle with a mid-Foundation Establishment stage demon tree.

The demon tree’s branches were like whips, stirring up dust on the ground. Xu Qi’an held the Ting He Sword, and the sword light was like lightning, cutting off the demon tree’s branches one by one.

“Chu Senior, be careful!”

Shui Ling’er’s voice came from behind.

Xu Qi’an looked back and saw that Shui Ling’er was entangled by the demon tree’s branches and couldn’t move.

“Seeking death!”

Xu Qi’an snorted coldly. With a flash of sword light, he cut off the demon tree’s branches.

Shui Ling’er fell to the ground, her face pale, clearly having suffered a serious injury.

“Thank you, Xu Senior, for saving me.”

Shui Ling’er struggled to stand up, her eyes filled with gratitude.

Xu Qi’an nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the jade pendant on Shui Ling’er’s waist emit a faint light.

Shui Ling’er looked down, and her face instantly changed dramatically.

“Revered Master’s jade pendant... it’s going to break!” Shui Ling’er’s voice trembled slightly, “Revered Master is in trouble!”

Xu Qi’an frowned and said in a deep voice, “Calm down. Let’s go to the Kan Water Profound Spirit Pool first to see.”

“Daoist Shui is not a reckless person. Perhaps something unexpected happened!”

Shui Ling’er took a deep breath, managed to suppress the panic in her heart, and nodded.

However, just as the two were about to leave, a black figure suddenly darted out from the forest. It was the Masked Cultivator who had previously chased Xu Qi’an.

“It’s you again!”

A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Qi’an’s eyes. With a wave of the Ting He Sword in his hand, the sword light was like lightning, pointing directly at the Masked Cultivator.

The Masked Cultivator didn’t waste words. His figure flickered, and he attacked Shui Ling’er directly.

Xu Qi’an didn’t dare to be careless and quickly blocked in front of Shui Ling’er. The sword light and the dagger collided, creating a shower of sparks.

“Shui Ling’er, step back!”

Xu Qi’an shouted in a low voice, fully activating the Ting He Sword, and fought with the Masked Cultivator.

Shui Ling’er retreated to the side, her eyes filled with worry.

She knew that although Xu Qi’an’s strength was considerable, facing a seventh-layer Foundation Establishment Masked Cultivator, his chances of winning were not great.

“Chu Senior, be careful!”

Shui Ling’er reminded softly, holding a Talisman in her hand, ready to help at any time.
