I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?

Jiang Shiqing changed her finger technique and casually launched a wave of emerald green.

The water bullet traced a shimmering arc under the moonlight, landing precisely in the densest patch of reeds in the distance.

boom!!

Water splashed everywhere, and broken reeds flew in all directions.

hiss……

A series of serpentine hisses followed from the depths of the reeds, sharp and piercing, filled with the fury of those disturbed.

The reeds swayed violently, and the next moment, three dark figures broke through the water, rushing straight towards Jiang Shiqing with a fishy smell.

Those were three emerald-scaled snakes whose bodies were covered with fine, bluish-green scales.

The snake scales gleamed faintly in the cool moonlight, and from a distance, they possessed a strange and beautiful, mottled appearance.

Of the three snakes, the longest was nearly ten meters long, with a body as thick as a tree trunk and an exceptionally powerful aura; the shortest was still five or six meters long.

On their triangular snake heads, pairs of cold, yellow, vertical pupils gleamed with an eerie light, fixed intently on Jiang Shiqing.

When its gaping maw opened, its fangs gleamed with a chilling white light under the moonlight, and its roars echoed far and wide across the empty lake.

As the three emerald-scaled snakes approached, a sweet, amber scent wafted over them.

That was the smell of snake venom rising in the air; just smelling it made one dizzy.

Wang Li's expression changed drastically, and she quickly lowered her voice, urgently saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang! Hold your breath! This snake venom is extremely potent!"

Jiang Shiqing nodded slightly: "Okay."

Actually, she wasn't too worried about the snake venom.

She also has some top-grade herbal pills refined by Yingying in her storage bag.

This elixir is enough to neutralize the venom of the Jade Scale Snake at the Qi Refining stage.

Her gaze swept quickly over the three green-scaled snakes.

One is at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, one is at the late-stage of Qi Refining, and one is at the perfect stage of Qi Refining.

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shiqing's eyes.

I found a fully-trained Azure Scale Serpent in one go!

At least I don't have to keep wandering around this godforsaken place anymore!

Compared to Jiang Shiqing's surprise, Wang Li's heart sank lower and lower.

She was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Moreover, as a rogue cultivator, she knew her own limitations; the cultivation techniques and spells she practiced were all commonplace, and her combat abilities were extremely limited.

This fellow Daoist Jiang is also at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

The two of them combined weren't even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of these three green-scaled snakes.

Her hand quietly brushed against the storage bag, and a wind-controlling talisman slipped silently into her palm.

If the situation turns against her, she will leave immediately and will never stay behind to perish with them.

I have already done more than enough to remind this fellow Daoist Jiang.

The two were just employees; there was no need for me to risk my life here!

Just then, Wang Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and her body tensed up abruptly.

The three green-scaled snakes were surrounded by surging demonic energy, and three extremely sharp water arrows suddenly condensed in front of them.

The water arrow was entirely emerald green, its tip gleaming with a cold light, as it shot through the air with a sharp whistling sound.

However, Jiang Shiqing did not choose to avoid it!

She made a hand seal with one hand, and a faint blue light emanated from her slender white fingertips. Layers of water rippled out from between her fingers, transforming into an overlapping water shield that enveloped her entire body.

Upon seeing this, Wang Li almost turned and ran away on the spot.

Who fights like this?

Will they get into a fight?!

She had initially thought that this Fellow Daoist Jiang might be a hidden powerhouse or a genius.

And this is how you handled it...

Putting aside everything else, the water arrow technique released by that fully-formed Azure Scale Serpent alone was quite powerful, and not something a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator could easily withstand.

Not to mention the water arrows released by the other two Azure Scale Serpents!

This fellow Daoist Jiang, are you just going to stubbornly endure it like this?!

Isn't this just courting death??

However, the next moment, Wang Li's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared in them.

Because when the three water arrows crashed into the water shield, they only caused the water shield to fluctuate violently for a moment, with ripples spreading rapidly.

However, the water quickly calmed down.

The water shield was intact, without even a single crack.

Moreover... this water shield seems to have an extremely powerful self-repairing ability. After being bombarded by three such fierce spells, it looks exactly the same as before?!

Wang Li was utterly horrified.

With such a powerful repair capability, doesn't that mean that unless the water shield is broken in one go, the defense will never be breached?

Wouldn't that put us in an invincible position?

What grade of defensive spell is this?

And this was just the beginning. What Wang Li saw next was something that would completely shatter her worldview.

Jiang Shiqing gently swiped her pale hand across the storage pouch at her waist, and a palm-sized, silver-white wheel appeared in her hand.

The edge of this wheel is as thin as a cicada's wing, and its entire body shimmers with a pale blue light, exuding a cool and serene aura under the moonlight.

It is indeed a top-grade magical artifact, the White Frost-Covered Water Wheel.

She was shielded by the defensive water barrier of the [Thousand Layers of Azure Waves Shield], and the hand seals in her hands had already changed.

The white frost-covered water wheel hummed as it shot out, drawing a bright silver arc in the darkness, its speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Before the mid-stage Qi Refining Azure Scale Serpent could even react, the silver wheel had already swept across its neck.

Its snake head was severed on the spot, and a thin layer of frost covered the cut.

Frost spread along the broken edge at a visible speed, and the two halves of the Azure Scale Serpent's body, which had been twisting and struggling, froze completely in an instant, becoming motionless.

Even after shooting out the white frost-covered water wheel, Jiang Shiqing did not stop.

The white frost-covered water wheel continued its relentless advance, while Jiang Shiqing simultaneously changed the hand seals in her hands.

She slapped her pale hand forward, spiritual energy surging in her palm and transforming into a deep blue hand, which surged and slapped towards the late-stage Qi Refining Azure Scale Serpent.

The hand swelled in the wind, growing to almost the height of a person in the blink of an eye.

The water in his palm was layered upon layered, as if countless waves were surging and colliding within it, and the muffled sound of waves crashing seemed to echo in the air.

【Thousand Layers of Azure Waves Palm】!

The speed of this [Thousand Layer Palm of Azure Waves] was extremely fast. The Azure Scale Snake, which was at the late stage of Qi Refining, sensed the danger and twisted its body to try to dodge, but it was a beat too slow.

However, its lower body was struck solidly by that dark blue hand.

boom!!

The water sparkled and exploded.

Layers of azure spiritual energy erupted from his palm, wave after wave, blasting the tough lower half of the Azure Scale Serpent's body into dust in an instant.

Minced meat and scales flew everywhere, splashing into the lake and creating ripples.

At this moment, only the fully-formed Azure Scale Serpent remained alive.

It had already rushed up to Jiang Shiqing.

As a demonic beast in the Qi Refining stage, the Azure Scale Serpent does not possess high intelligence. However, driven by biological instinct, the sight of two other snakes in the same den being killed naturally aroused the ferocity of this fully-refined Azure Scale Serpent.

It opened its blood-red maw, and a stream of greenish-blue venomous water gushed out from between its fangs, splashing onto the water shield.

This is [Jade Scale Snake Saliva].

It is a deadly snake venom that has been refined and accumulated over many years by the Azure Scale Serpent.

Each Azure Scale Serpent possesses this deadly move, but once it's used up, it needs to accumulate more power.

Many Jade Scale Snakes, after decades of refinement, may only accumulate a single mouthful of snake saliva.

However, snake saliva refined over many years is naturally quite potent.

As soon as the snake saliva landed on the Thousand Layered Shield of the Azure Waves, the surface of the water shield emitted a sizzling, corrosive sound.

The layers of water were eroded and thinned at a visible speed, and the bluish-green venom slowly seeped along the walls of the enclosure.

Jiang Shiqing glanced at it, but her expression didn't change at all.

The ring on her hand, inlaid with azure jade, suddenly lit up, and the watery light within the jade seemed to flow as if it were alive.

The next instant, an even thicker and more solid water shield appeared out of thin air, firmly protecting Jiang Shiqing.

The ultimate magical artifact, the Water Control True Spirit Ring!

With the water shield formed by the Water Control True Spirit Ring, Jiang Shiqing naturally had no need to worry about safety issues.

Her hand seals changed rapidly, and the White Frost-Covered Water Wheel returned in the air, transforming into a silver arc of light, which once again slashed at the Azure Scale Serpent with perfected Qi.

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh echoed continuously in the night.

The body of a fully-refined Azure Scale Serpent is far superior to that of a mid-stage Azure Scale Serpent. Its scales are incredibly tough. Although the White Frost-Covered Water Wheel can break through its defenses, it cannot kill it with a single blow.

The Azure Scaled Serpent hissed in pain, twisting its massive body desperately to evade.

The silver wheel clung to it like a leech, leaving deep, bone-revealing wounds on its body.

Although the wounds on the Azure Scale Serpent were not fatal, the chill carried by the White Frost-Covered Water Wheel seeped into the serpent's body through each wound.

Its body began to emit wisps of white mist, its movements became increasingly sluggish, and the force of its twisting became weaker and weaker.

As its movements become slower, dodging attacks becomes increasingly difficult.

Jiang Shiqing manipulated the White Frost Water Wheel with her hands, striking the Azure Scale Serpent's vital spot with precision time and time again.

After a few flashes of silver light, the nearly ten-meter-long giant snake was finally cut in two.

The blood gushing from the cut had no time to splatter before it was frozen into dark red ice shards by the cold air.

The two sections of the snake's body slammed hard into the shallow water, creating a large splash, and then fell silent.

The entire battle lasted only a dozen or so breaths.

All three Azure Scale Snakes in their Qi Refining stage perished.

Jiang Shiqing, however, didn't even have a dirty hem of her clothes.

Feeling the remaining spiritual energy within her body, she smiled contentedly.

As expected of the top-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique given to her by the young master, the spiritual energy cultivated by "Canglang True Explanation" is rich and long-lasting. In addition, with the talent enhancement that the young master gave her before, her spiritual energy recovery speed is far better than before.

With the White Frost Water Wheel and the Water Control True Spirit Ring, she could easily kill even a few more Azure Scale Serpents!

Such a record was something she wouldn't have dared to even dream of before she met the young master.

Jiang Shiqing looked down at the three stiff snake corpses on the ground, feeling as if she had been transported to another world.

The person I was before I met the young master and the person I am after I met the young master seem like two different people!

At that time, I had mediocre talent, my cultivation had stagnated, and I was full of confusion about the future.

Now, there are top-grade Earth-rank cultivation techniques, top-grade magic weapons, top-grade spiritual artifacts, enhanced talents and spiritual roots, and powerful protectors lurking in the shadows...

Everything the young master gave her completely changed the course of her life.

Son...

Jiang Shiqing bit her lower lip, her eyes glistening with tears. The moonlight fell on her slightly flushed face, making her exceptionally beautiful.

She slightly squeezed her legs together, feeling a bit lewd.

She really wanted the young master to bully her right now...

I wonder when the young master will return?
