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

Chapter 300 The Beautiful Mermaid

She bought a lot of high-quality water-repellent beads in advance, enough for her to stay in the sea for several months.

With the water-repellent beads activated, she can move freely underwater.

She didn't even look at the note the other person gave her; she just threw it away and even used a cleansing spell.

It's not about ignoring well-intentioned advice, but rather about always being cautious when traveling.

What if there's poison on the paper? Wouldn't she be poisoned if she opened it?

The underwater world was beautiful, very different from what she had imagined.

Before she came to this world, she had tried scuba diving and was attracted by the underwater world, thinking that it was the most extreme scenery she could ever see.

Therefore, she imagined the sea area to be similar to the underwater world she had seen.

The sea area feels much more magnificent. As you enter the sea area from the entrance, you can see huge sea trees, crystal clear corals, and colorful reefs...

She had no interest in appreciating the scenery because a giant sea turtle was swimming towards her. Its shell was thick and covered with crystal-like spikes.

The sea turtle swam over, blew bubbles at her, which she dodged, then drew her sword and chopped it down. The turtle didn't even have time to retract before it died.

This scene was witnessed by other cultivators who had entered the sea area, causing them to shrink back in fear.

Someone came over and reminded him: "Fellow Daoist, this is a guiding tortoise. Give it some spirit stones and it will be able to guide you."

It leads cultivators to the city in the sea, where they pay spirit stones at the city gate to obtain a pass, and then they can freely enter the city and find protection.

"..."

Some cultivators have come to the sea many times, but still can't remember the way and have to rely on the guide turtle to find the city.

Upon her arrival, she killed the guiding turtle, and afterwards, no turtle was willing to lead the way for her when entering the sea.

Seeing her speechless expression, the man kindly said, "I'm the guide on the shore. For a high-grade spirit stone, I can take you to the city."

Those guiding turtles actually cooperate with the guiding cultivators. They are responsible for leading people down, and the guiding turtles get half of the spirit stones.

She descended alone, without a monk to guide her. The sea turtle tried to drive her away, but was instead killed.

Lin Yan was unaware of these things. She had originally intended to find the city herself, but now that someone was leading the way, it saved her the trouble. So she took out a high-grade spirit stone and tossed it over.

The spirit stone flowed down the water to the hand of the guiding cultivator, who smiled broadly and said gently, "Please follow me~"

With a wave of his hand, the corpse of the guiding tortoise was taken away. Seeing this, she didn't say anything and followed the others to the city.

The other party also brought two teams of people. When they saw her alone, they openly stared at her, their lewd and malicious gazes undisguised.

Her expression turned cold, and she unleashed a burst of spiritual energy towards the cultivator who was observing her.

The monk who was guiding the way immediately stepped in to smooth things over, and their gazes on her became less blatant.

The guide monk explained that to reach the more distant sea cities, they would need the guidance of the tortoise, otherwise they would easily get lost in the turbulent currents of the ocean.

This is tantamount to helping the tortoise attract business.

Lin Yan silently memorized it, and when she arrived at the city gate, she paid the spirit stones to obtain the pass and entered the city directly.

The underwater cities are actually quite similar to those on land, except that the races living in them are no longer just humans.

Besides cultivators, the stalls also featured people with human bodies and snake tails, fish tails, and even beings with the upper body of an alien and the lower body of a human.

Upon entering the sea for the first time, I couldn't help but take a second look at all these strange creatures.

Suddenly, a burly man with an octopus-like head walked over with a large knife: "What are you doing spying on my kid? Are you up to something?"

"Huh?" Lin Yan looked puzzled and followed the direction he came from, only to see a boy with a human body and a fish tail lowering his head shyly.

Embarrassed, the fin on his buttocks twitched nervously. The boy lowered his head and timidly began, "Father... let... let it go..."

She fell into deep thought: How did the octopus man give birth to the mermaid?
Seeing that she did not respond, the octopus man assumed that she had no way to refute him and was about to slash at her with his large knife.

Lin Yan raised her hand, and her spiritual energy instantly transformed into a barrier to block it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't have any ulterior motives towards him, I just accidentally glanced at him a couple of times."

She wasn't lying; she was simply curious about new creatures.

The commotion attracted the attention of the city's law enforcement team, and several armored, headless men approached.

"What's all the noise about? Don't cause trouble in the city!"

The octopus man immediately accused, "This monk has ill intentions towards my child."

Lin Yan said helplessly, "No, it's my first time in the sea area. I just took a few extra glances out of curiosity. If your child felt offended, I'm willing to apologize."

Thinking it best to avoid trouble, she gave the boy a polite smile and apologized.

Seeing that she apologized sincerely, they didn't say anything more, just told her to be careful and left.

The boy stepped forward and tugged at his father's sleeve: "Father..."

The octopus man snorted and continued to set up his stall with his cub.

Passing by a pearl stall, she saw that the pearls were bright and beautiful, and each one was round and full, and she liked them very much.

The vendor enthusiastically introduced the pearls, saying they were absolutely genuine, formed from mermaid tears, and would make a very prestigious decoration.

Lin Yan glanced at the stall owner and, seeing that he also had a fish tail, remained silent for a moment.

"How to sell it?"

"One high-grade spirit stone with color, and ten mid-grade spirit stones with white color."

She looked at them and saw that the pearls were the same size and of similar quality, but the colored ones were so much more expensive!

The stall owner, thinking she thought it was too expensive, continued enthusiastically, "These pearls are good for your complexion, and they're great for making jewelry or accessories."

She nodded, picked one of each color, paid with spirit stones, and put them into her storage bag.

When other vendors saw that she didn't haggle over prices when buying things, they all started hawking their products to her.

Most of them are parts of monsters, as well as special products from the seabed.

Land-based cultivators can't find any underwater specialties, so when they come down to the sea, they'll buy them to take home for the novelty.

Although the sea has no distinction between day and night, fish living in the city can still distinguish between day and night.

Above the city walls is a magical artifact that simulates the rising and setting of the sun and moon. When night falls, everyone returns to their lodgings to rest, with only a few shops remaining open.

As she wandered around, she unknowingly walked to a less crowded area. She intended to turn back, but then she encountered someone carrying a sack containing a mermaid, who was about to be tied up and taken away.

The mermaid struggled and whimpered, only to be brutally beaten by the cultivator.

Lin Yan was standing behind the wall at that moment, unsure whether to save him or not.

How come she always runs into these kinds of things?
She also understood why the octopus man reacted so strongly when he learned that she had glanced at the mermaid child a few times; it turned out that a human cultivator was kidnapping the mermaid child.

The beautiful blue fish tail was thrashing about fiercely at first, but it gradually stopped thrashing after being hit.

She gathered her spiritual power and swung it at the group.

Two of them were hit in the arm and became wary in pain.

"Who? Get out!"
