The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go down and take a look."

Jiang Yun recalled that two years ago, Wangcai had dug out the spirit stones from the spirit-gathering array.

This is enough to show that it is quite capable.

There might really be treasure at the bottom of the lake.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to go down and take a look.

"Walk!"

Wangcai couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately jumped into the lake and swam underwater toward the center.

Jiang Yun followed behind it.

The closer you get to the center of the lake, the colder the water becomes.

If you dive deeper, it will be even colder.

"Over here!"

In the water, Wangcai transmitted his thoughts.

Jiang Yun immediately followed.

Once Wangcai reached the center of the lake, it quickly dived down.

In an instant, it had already sunk more than ten feet.

The deeper you dive, the deeper you go.

It has already descended more than 30 zhang.

Jiang Yun's blood stopped flowing, and her whole body became frozen stiff.

Fortunately, he possessed the bones of an immortal.

They managed to get through it.

"Have we arrived yet?"

He transmitted his voice to Wangcai.

"Soon!"

Wangcai continued to dive.

It has nine levels of Qi refinement, and it claims to be an ancient divine beast, capable of withstanding the harsh cold here.

Jiang Yun followed Wangcai as they continued to descend.

I have lost all feeling in my body.

"No, we can't go any deeper."

Jiang Yun gritted her teeth, preparing to stop herself.

All that could be heard was Wangcai's voice transmission: "We've arrived. What treasure was I talking about? It's the Mysterious Water Pearl."

"Mysterious Water Pearl?"

Jiang Yun was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.

The Illustrated Compendium of Heaven and Earth states...

The Mysterious Water Pearl is a water-based treasure.

The bead contains a large amount of pure water elemental power.

Jiang Yun cultivates the Five Elements Foundation Building Method.

When attempting to establish a foundation in the future, relying solely on the Five Elements Foundation Establishment Method to gather the power of the Five Elements will be far too slow.

With the assistance of the Five Elements Treasures, the foundation-building process can be accelerated.

This Mystic Water Pearl can be used during the Foundation Establishment stage.

Jiang Yun, braving the bitter cold, looked at Wangcai.

In front of Wangcai, eight mysterious water beads were floating.

These mysterious water beads emitted a faint blue light from the bottom of the water.

The closer you get to it, the colder you feel.

Wangcai didn't approach rashly.

Above the Mysterious Water Pearl.

There are also two spirit fish.

These two spirit fish also dared not get too close to the Xuan Shui Pearl.

They are using the Xuan Shui Pearl to cultivate.

Jiang Yun saw the two spirit fish.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Ice-scaled carp, silver snow trout!"

The ice-scaled carp and the silver snow trout were both over ten feet long.

"The art of observing qi!"

Jiang Yunshi used the Qi-gazing technique.

He instantly discerned the cultivation levels of the two spirit fish.

—Sixth level of Qi Refining.

"The scales of the Icescale Carp can be used to refine water-based healing pills."

"The Silver Snow Trout lives in cold pools and icy lakes, and the Xuanhuang Illustrated Guide says its flesh is extremely delicious!"

Jiang Yun was tempted.

He transmitted his voice to Wangcai, "Wangcai, you deal with that Ice Scale Carp. If you don't kill them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get this Mysterious Water Pearl."

But Wangcai remained unmoved.

It stood upright in the water, looking down at the bottomless lake.

Judging from its appearance, Jiang Yun felt that he couldn't rely on it and prepared to deal with the two spirit fish himself.

It secretly condensed the Xuanming Ice Soul Needle, preparing to catch the spirit fish off guard.

At this moment, Wangcai transmitted his voice, "My darling!"

"What great treasure?" Jiang Yun hurriedly asked, "Kill these two spirit fish, take the Xuan Shui Pearl, and leave this place as soon as possible. I can't hold on much longer."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, she ignored Wangcai.

He unleashed the full power of the Xuanming Ice Soul Needle.

The Xuanming Ice Soul Needle kills without leaving a trace, making it an excellent spell for surprise attacks.

He saw that the two spirit fish were cultivating, which was a good opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

So, after condensing the Xuanming Ice Soul Needle, he shot it towards the ice-scaled carp.

He was fully committed to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Ambush a level 6 Ice Scale Carp and easily kill it.

The Ice Scale Carp was pierced by the Xuanming Ice Soul Needle and was severely injured. Unable to withstand the extreme cold of the place, it quickly lost its strength and sank to the bottom of the water.

The silver snow trout sensed the commotion and, upon seeing Jiang Yun and Wangcai, immediately chose to flee.

In just a moment, the silver snow trout had already swum seven or eight zhang away.

"Wangcai, kill it! Don't let it get away!"

Jiang Yun quickly sent a telepathic message to Wangcai.

Wangcai then reluctantly went to deal with the silver snow trout.

Seeing Wangcai chasing after the silver snow trout, Jiang Yun didn't stay idle either.

He swam at lightning speed to the side of the Ice Scale Carp's corpse and put it into his storage bag.

After storing the Ice Scale Carp.

Jiang Yun began collecting the Xuan Shui Pearls.

This mysterious water bead is truly magical.

If you touch it directly like that, the Xuan Shui Pearl will turn into a puddle of water and merge into the lake.

Once it merges into the lake water, it flows with the water and becomes invisible, intangible, and impossible to collect.

Unless we wait a few days until the Mystic Water Pearl reappears.

Wangcai, this dog who loves his pets, probably knew this too, which is why he didn't touch the Xuan Shui Pearl.

"Ouch, it's so cold."

Jiang Yun enveloped his palm with pure water elemental power.

Then slowly approach the Mystic Water Pearl.

Only water-based treasures can collect this Mystic Water Pearl.

However, Jiang Yun cultivates the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique.

The power of the five elements rotates in turn.

As long as you gather the power of water in your palm, it's equivalent to having a water-based treasure.

He painstakingly approached the Xuan Shui Pearls and placed them one by one into his storage bag.

"If it weren't for the immortal bones, this Xuan Shui Pearl would have been really hard to obtain."

The immortal bone was a great help.

Jiang Yun collected eight Xuan Shui beads into his storage bag.

After he finished collecting the fish, he saw Wangcai approaching him with the tail of a silver snow trout in its mouth.

"Where's the Mystic Water Pearl?" Wangcai tossed the Silver Snow Trout to Jiang Yun and transmitted his voice, "Are you planning to keep it all for yourself?"

"The Mystic Water Pearl is of great use to me, so I'll reward you with two spirit stones."

This Mystic Water Pearl will be needed for future Foundation Establishment attempts.

Jiang Yun naturally wouldn't give it to Wangcai.

In high spirits, he also put the silver snow trout into his storage bag.

He then took out two mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Wangcai.

Without saying a word, Wangcai swallowed the two spirit stones and showed a satisfied expression.

"Let's go quickly."

The cold here is truly terrifying.

Jiang Yun has reached her limit.

He immediately swam upwards towards the surface of the lake.

Wangcai followed closely behind.

Before long, the man and the dog returned to the lake shore.

"Well done."

Jiang Yun returned to the lake shore, used his internal energy to dispel the chill that had seeped into his body, and praised Wang Cai.

"You're so pathetic, your precious baby's still down there."

Looking at Jiang Yun's smug expression, Wangcai couldn't help but say disdainfully.

"What kind of amazing treasure is it?" Jiang Yun asked curiously. "Can you bring it up?"

"There's treasure, but I'm not sure what it is." Wangcai said angrily, "I'll take it! This lake is no ordinary place, don't even think about it before you reach Core Formation."

"Core Formation?"

Jiang Yun was taken aback.

Only those at the Golden Core stage can descend to the bottom of the lake to retrieve treasures.

It seems that the bottom of Qingshan Lake is indeed not simple.

According to the editor, it seems to be going on sale tomorrow.

This book didn't do well, but I'll release more chapters after it goes on sale to see if I can turn things around.

That's what everyone in the signed author group is saying anyway:

If a book that isn't doing well gets a lot of updates, there's hope of getting it started.

The author works in a small, third-tier county town with a meager salary, and writing books will provide him with additional income.

Hehe, it's finally available now.

I hope everyone will support me with an initial order.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Also, thank you to all the readers for your continued reading and voting support during the new book period.

that's all.
