Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Inside Jiang Shi's dantian, there was a phantom of a Dao Lotus, and beneath the phantom of the Dao Lotus were phantoms of scarlet blood bats and crimson blood Kui oxen.

Now there's this big clam too.

The giant clam remained quietly inside Jiang Shi's body, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.

Apart from occasionally emitting a trace of Gui water essence, there was no other movement.

Jiang Shi observed for a while but couldn't find anything wrong with the giant clam.

Jiang Shi's spiritual perception told him that this spiritual object posed no danger to him.

This put Jiang Shi at ease, as he had complete faith in his own mind.

Jiang Shi leaped out of the water, having already obtained the true essence of Gui water, so there was naturally no need for him to stay here any longer.

Jiang Shi quickly returned and found Jiang Yu and Old Man Jiang.

This time, he acted very quickly. The two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators did not waste much of his time and were killed almost instantly.

This treasure hunt and the journey were so long that we didn't even have time for a cup of tea.

"Master, you're back!" Jiang Yu ran over quickly and grabbed Jiang Shi's arm.

"Hurry up and start cultivating." Jiang Shi glanced at Jiang Yu and then said.

"Oh dear, you just got back and you're already going to cultivate?" Jiang Yu muttered softly.

But Jiang Shi ignored her and quickly sent her aside to cultivate.

Jiang Shigang has just obtained the Gui Water True Essence, and he still needs to study it carefully in order to create a suitable cultivation method as soon as possible.

However, this place is too close to the spot where the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were killed, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

Although Jiang Shi had already had the three-headed demonic wolf destroy the bodies of the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, there was no guarantee that the three major sects might have some kind of detection techniques or secret skills.

We still need to be careful.

"Let's leave here first," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

He didn't hesitate at all; having made the decision, he was determined to execute it quickly.

Jiang Shi took out the superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, and began to activate it to control the river and travel quickly.

Soon, under the influence of the superior magical artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, the small fishing boat at Jiang Shi's feet moved at an extremely fast speed, far away from this place.

They didn't encounter any fools along the way who came to provoke them.

Those who passed by, whether they were cultivators or scions of noble families, all kept their distance and dared not obstruct Jiang Shi in the slightest.

In the Canglin region, no one dares to provoke a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator in the wild, not even those of the same Foundation Establishment stage.

The aura emanating from Jiang Shi was enough to scare away the others.

Soon, Jiang Shi saw that he had gone far enough, so he steered the fishing boat to a stop.

"Master, where are we going now?" Jiang Yu came closer and asked in confusion.

As they traveled, Old Man Jiang and Jiang Yu lost all sense of direction and had no idea where they were.

Old Jiang, sitting at the stern, would occasionally glance this way.

He also wanted to ask this question, but he didn't dare to ask it out loud for fear of angering Jiang Shi. After all, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining, and the most he had ever seen in the past was a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. Jiang Shi had never seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator before.

I've only ever heard of it in legends and stories.

Therefore, when facing Jiang Shi, Old Man Jiang couldn't help but feel afraid and was always very cautious.

Jiang Yu, however, did not share this idea. Jiang Shi had saved her life and taken her as his apprentice.

In this world, Jiang Shi was the best person to her besides her grandfather.

Therefore, Jiang Yu was very dependent on Jiang Shi.

"Where to? We're entering the river." Jiang Shi gazed at the river.

His words stunned Jiang Yu.

"what!"

Ignoring Jiang Yu's reaction, Jiang Shi finished speaking, and the water-stabilizing bead in his hand floated up, emitting a bright blue light.

"Go!" Under Jiang Shi's control, the superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, flew out and plunged into the river.

Just then, a huge bubble expanded from the bottom of the water, swallowing up the small fishing boat where Jiang Shi was and enveloping it inside the bubble.

Then, the small fishing boat began to slowly sink.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu quickly stayed by Jiang Shi's side and didn't dare to leave him for even a moment.

Although this wasn't the first time Jiang Yu had sunk to the bottom of the water, she was still very scared to go in again.

A thin layer of foam, wrapped around the outside of the boat, sinks to the bottom of the water, which is still very frightening, especially for the people on the fishing boat.

No ordinary person could imagine how such a thin layer of foam could stop rivers and floods.

"This is simply divine intervention," Old Man Jiang thought to himself.

To ordinary people, a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is like an immortal.

A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is someone that many Qi Refining stage cultivators cannot match.

Because cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can fly.

Jiang Shi was an outstanding cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, having killed quite a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Jiang Shi's behavior along the way made Old Man Jiang sigh inwardly.

Jiang Shi used a superior magical artifact to stabilize the water droplets, manipulated the river, and slowly submerged underwater.

The underwater area was pitch black, with no light source, making it impossible to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Jiang Yu, somewhat frightened, grabbed Jiang Shi's sleeve.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Shi took out something that instantly illuminated the surroundings, and a warm feeling, like spring sunshine, spread out.

This item is none other than the Xihe Stone, a third-grade spiritual object.

The Xihe Stone is a spiritual treasure of Yangyan. It contains a very gentle Yangyan purple aura. Even when exposed to Yangyan aura, it will not harm the small fishing boat or the old man Jiang and the fisherman on the boat.

This is the Xihe Stone. If it were any other spiritual treasure possessing Yang Flame Qi, even a Qi Refining cultivator would likely be unable to get close to it and would be burned alive by the Yang Flame Qi.

"Wow, it's so warm." Jiang Yu circled around the Xihe Stone, curiously examining this third-grade spiritual treasure.

"This is a supreme treasure of the fire element. Although cultivating the water element will be greatly affected by it, cultivating the metal element will be unimpeded."

"During this time, you should focus on cultivating the Golden Spirit Technique and not be lazy."

Jiang Shi first imparted some insights into the cultivation of the "Golden Spirit Technique".

Jiang Shi, who had already mastered the Golden Spirit Technique, could easily guide a junior cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jiang Shi imparted all his insights on the fourth level of Qi Refining cultivation to Jiang Yu.

How she cultivates from now on is up to her.

Fortunately, although Jiang Yu usually seems silly, her comprehension in cultivation is quite good.

Jiang Shi did not feel any difficulty in teaching.

Even without Jiang Shi's instruction, this woman's cultivation speed would probably not be slow.

Given time, this woman may have the potential to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Of course, for ordinary cultivators, comprehension alone is not enough to reach the Foundation Establishment stage; Foundation Establishment Pills are also indispensable.
