The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

What Lin Du said sounded fake, but the crew actually found it to be effective, and the turtle quickly went silent.

Soon, Lin Du received another thank-you gift from the Chamber of Commerce: a pair of high-quality sharkskin gloves, a top-grade magic artifact. Wearing them would not cause any restriction or foreign body sensation, making movement very convenient, while also blocking out external objects.

Lin Du thought this thing was good, at least much better than the crudely made things that his group of people painstakingly sewed from animal hides.

It made her involuntarily reminisce about the time when she wore laboratory gloves.

Lin Du lowered his eyes and tried on the gloves. His slender hands pushed out the distinct knuckles inch by inch under the dark sharkskin, and then fully opened them.

The open doors let in the soft glow of the luminous pearls. The man in blue lowered his eyes and tugged at his gloves, exuding an eerie and gloomy aura.

"Give me five of these, how many spirit stones?"

She looked up and suddenly noticed the two bird demons. "Excuse me, would you like some claw covers for your claws?"

Huang Xuan subconsciously replied, "We don't need to."

The next instant, he met the smile spreading across Lin Du's face, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although the young master was outspoken, he always felt that this person was too dangerous.

Despite being only at the Great Perfection of the Cloud Soaring Realm, having the youngest bone age among this group, and still smelling of herbs from a long illness, he was far more dangerous than Lin Er, who had a higher cultivation level and was already at the Radiant Sun Realm.

The crew member said he would be back shortly, and soon returned with five identical pairs of gloves on a plate, explaining that they were a thank-you gift and no payment was required.

Lin Du didn't say anything upon hearing this, and went back into the room.

Of the six rooms, only Lin Du's room was dark.

The azure figure quickly disappeared into the air, and the last sentence floated down into the sky: "The winter solstice is the day after tomorrow, and the sea monsters will probably be even more restless tomorrow."

They'll also be more brainless.

Today I just forgot to cover my eyes while eating, but tomorrow it might be a physical fight.

"The sea is rough, so get some rest and don't get up too early."

The door to Lin Du was completely closed.

Ni Jinxuan keenly sensed that her junior uncle seemed to be in a bad mood, but not in a bad way.

It was like... a gloomy, rainy day.

Lin Du was indeed in a bad mood; she was affected by the spatial collision.

She is now a half-spirit, and spirits born of heaven and earth are more susceptible to the effects of distortions in the rules of heaven and earth.

Wei Zhi was right. If she hadn't used a cultivation technique to completely devour that bead, she would have become a snow spirit.

Lin Du would not allow her personal will to be swallowed up by the rules of heaven and earth.

With a blank expression, she used her divine sense to look at the chess pieces in front of her, which were just one move away from winning. Then she raised her hand, placed the white piece, and won the game.

Why would someone keep the Snow Essence Pill for themselves without giving any warning?

The library also contains almost no records of techniques for suppressing the inner core of such spiritual beings.

There's only one possibility: this thing is rare to begin with, and the cultivation method is even more unorthodox. The only one who suffered greatly from it is Wei Zhi. It's likely that all those unorthodox cultivation methods were looted clean by Wei Zhi's dragon.

The day before the winter solstice, the sea was raging with stormy waves, dark clouds rolled in, obscuring the sun and moon. The ship was constantly being bumped and rocked. Now Lin Du understood why the ticket was so expensive; the top-grade defensive formation on the ship alone was worth the price. Although the ship was lifted high by the wind and waves several times, almost vertical to the sea surface, it always escaped unharmed thanks to the boatmen's concerted efforts.

Seemingly inspired by Lin Du, the crew kept throwing calming pills into the sea outside the ship, so at least the ship wasn't damaged too badly.

Lin Du struggled to suppress his inner turmoil and anticipation. Watching the various sea creatures, fish, and shrimp leaping across the sea, he couldn't help but emanate icy power, becoming a walking refrigeration machine once again.

When Yue Han saw that she was far away, he felt cold.

Lin Du glanced at him indifferently, and Yue Han became even more frightened, inexplicably having the feeling that she would freeze the bird.

Summer, lacking a strange fire, wasn't afraid, but for some reason, she was also a little hesitant to provoke him, and could only look at Lin Du with worry.

"Don't you think..." Mo Lin glanced at his junior sister beside him, "Junior Uncle looks like a fluffy snowball right now."

Summer: Hmm?

She took a closer look and it made perfect sense.

The reason why snow dumplings puff up is that they continuously supply cold air, which makes perfect sense.

Mo Lin occasionally said something quite apt.

Just after midnight, the immense spatial distortion caused the already disoriented cultivators on the ship to vomit.

Lin Du crunched on a mint, his face perfectly calm. Yue Han, whose head was already spinning, vaguely thought Lin Du was gnawing on a bone.

"The Cold Moon Secret Realm! It's the Cold Moon Secret Realm!" someone exclaimed.

In the darkness, Yue Han struggled to reach the window and saw a patch of snow and moonlight breaking through the barrier.

It was undoubtedly an enormous, cold moon, perfectly round, full, and radiating a soft glow.

But unlike the moon that ordinary people see, this moon has no gentleness or warmth, only endless coldness. Yue Han even felt that Lin Du was much warmer than this secret realm.

The surrounding space rippled and twisted, creating arc-shaped ripples that served as a testament to the existence of this secret realm.

Some people have already leaped into the air, heading straight for the cold moon that occupies most of the sea surface, like a stream of light being sucked in, and are quickly swallowed by the cold moon.

Lin Du didn't cover his eyes, but just squinted slightly. "Let's go."

Yue Han's hair stood on end. "This moon eats people!"

"You can eat it too." Lin Du smiled casually. "We are ants in the face of this small world, but ants can still devour big trees."

Yue Han thought about it and, although she didn't understand, felt that Zhen Liu's aura was very convincing.

One after another, glimmers of light rose from the sea, heading straight for the cold moon.

The eight people exchanged glances, and Lin Du, as if struck by a sudden thought, laughed. "Have you ever heard of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea?"

Yuan Ye and Ni Jinxuan had indeed heard of it.

"Let's go! I'm ready!"

Yue Han straightened her chest and turned her head to find that the six people had already put on masks and gloves to cover their mouths and noses, and were dressed in tight-fitting clothes and boots. Only their eyes and foreheads were exposed. Their height decreased in a very regular step-like manner. They looked... like some kind of professional team, but not like good people.

Just as the young master was about to say something, a thin mask appeared on his face. This mask was obviously more delicate and smooth than the ones Lin Du and the others had seen, and it fit the face perfectly. The array on it was covered by embroidery.

To protect Lin Du's eyesight, Yue Han wore what she considered to be her simplest outfit, one with the fewest gemstones and the least luminous. She also reduced the number of small ornaments on her head, waist, ears, and hands. With a face mask on, her aura became even more restrained.

Lin Du approved of his attire, and Yue Han's eyebrows curved into a smile, revealing his silliness even through the mask.

Lin Du looked away; it was hopeless.

Huang Xuan put it on himself as well, then glanced at Lin Du and nodded.

One by one, the eight people channeled their spiritual energy and leaped up, keeping up with the steps of the person in front of them.

The closer they got, the more they felt that the cold moon before them was nothing but an illusion. The eerie, icy magnetic field swallowed the first person who approached, then the second, the third…

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a period of spatial chaos, before their feet landed firmly on solid ground.

This is a monotonous space. The sky is a hazy blur, and the ground is not much better, consisting of continuous mountains and depressions. As you walk around, fine dust floats in the air.

The young master sneezed loudly.

Lin Du used his divine sense to confirm that all eight people were present before making a judgment: "We are very lucky; we are near the mining area."

"Is this luck... good? What's the point of these drab stones? They're not fun at all," Yue Han said, puzzled.

He met six pairs of eyes filled with inexplicable excitement and pleasure.

Animals are very sensitive to human emotions, and Huang Xuan saw two obvious words in the eyes of these people: troublemakers.

"You'll find it really fun soon," Yuan Ye chuckled.
