Chapter 950 Tanggu Sea Beast
The Chinese people's love for real estate is deeply engraved in their bones like a brand.
After Yu Wen Zhangyu completed the courtyard complex, Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng immediately chose a small courtyard each.
They finally had their own home in the East China Sea.
so good!
After finishing all this, Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng and Yu Wen Zhangyu finally felt relieved and had a chance to catch their breath.
Su Xiaoya and Wu Chong looked at the picturesque courtyard, and they relaxed as if bathed in the spring breeze. Who could have imagined that she not only owned a sea-facing villa, but also a small island in the East China Sea that was like a paradise on earth?
Facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming, this feeling of happiness is like being in heaven.
Mmm! Another hearty BBQ, perfect!
Su Xiaoya took out a plump second-level spiritual sheep, and then, like a magic trick, took out a grill and spiritual charcoal...
Lao Bai and Jin Long were like cats that smelled blood, and instantly floated above the barbecue grill - who on Blue Star could resist the temptation of barbecue!
Even though they have become residual souls, the gluttonous attributes engraved in their bones have not changed at all.
Yu Shuheng and Yu Wenxuan also followed the scent.
"Oh! If I could have a glass of cold draft beer, it would be perfect!" Yu Shuheng couldn't help but sigh while eating the sizzling lamb skewers.
"Oh!" Su Xiaoya also craved the ice beer. Before she traveled through time, she was still a high school student. The only time she could drink a little ice-cold beer was during summer barbecues with her classmates. That feeling was so refreshing!
As for family gatherings during festivals like the Spring Festival, she could only drink juice and milk. Her parents would never let her drink alcohol, not even rice wine!
However, no one would stop you from having sticky rice chicken with eggnog for breakfast.
It was the first time for Yu Wen Zhangyu to taste barbecue. It felt as if all the pores in his body were opened up, and it was extremely comfortable!
Su Xiaoya is still the best at eating!
Su Xiaoya and the other two relaxed for two days, and then walked together towards the top of Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain, ready to climb up and see the distant view, and relax their nerves that had been tense for two months.
The three people and five pets climbed up the stone steps in the mountains. The scenery along the way was completely different from that at the foot of the mountain - the trees in the mountains were getting taller and straighter, and there was a faint spiritual energy on the leaves. Occasionally, a few colorful spiritual birds flew over their heads, making pleasant calls.
When you reach the top of the mountain, a breeze blows on your face, bringing with it the fragrance of mountain grass and trees, making you feel instantly refreshed.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain - the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, as ethereal as a fairyland; the Tang Valley is faintly visible in the distance, and the golden sea water is sparkling dazzlingly in the sun; the Wenyuan Minghai at the foot of the mountain is golden red, like a huge mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky.
"I will climb to the summit and look down upon all the other mountains. Mount Xi stands majestically, and all the other peaks stand in a row like their children and grandchildren. I wish I could obtain the immortal's nine-section staff so I could reach the Jade Maiden's hair-washing basin..." Su Xiaoya couldn't help but recite. The beauty of ancient poetry and lyrics truly transcends time and space...
Yuwen Zhangyu opened his arms, took a deep breath, and his face was full of satisfaction. As expected, the vastness of the Heavenly Dao was definitely not something that could be felt while trapped in a tomb.
Yu Shuheng took out his compass and once again explored the distribution of spiritual energy on the mountaintop. He said thoughtfully, "The spiritual energy of this Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain is indeed very special. I've always found it strange, but now that I'm standing on the top, I realize that the spiritual energy here is rich in the 'sun's true fire'."
Su Xiaoya nodded and added, "I also discovered this when I used my spiritual sense to explore before. This aura of the Sun's True Fire should be related to the nearby Tang Valley."
"Tanggu is where the sun rises, and it contains infinite masculine energy. This energy spreads to Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain and merges into the spiritual energy of the mountain."
After a pause, Su Xiaoya continued, "However, this has a huge impact on cultivators of different attributes. For cultivators of Yin attributes, this place is simply a den of dragons and tigers."
"Once entering, the Yin attribute spiritual energy within the body of a Yin attribute cultivator will be restrained by the aura of the Sun's True Fire, becoming chaotic like a wild horse running loose. At best, their cultivation will regress, and at worst, they will go astray."
"If that's the case," Yu Shuheng responded quite quickly. "For Yang-attributed cultivators, especially those of the Fire element, this place is a treasured place for cultivation. By absorbing the spiritual energy containing the true fire of the sun, it's not an exaggeration to say that their cultivation speed will increase by a thousand miles per day."
Yu Wen Zhangyu listened to what the two said, thoughtfully.
The three chatted for a long time on the top of the mountain, and gradually discovered that the day and night on Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain were simply two completely different worlds.
During the day, the "Nine Yang Gale" will blow on the top of the mountain. That gale is not an ordinary strong wind, but a strong wind that contains the breath of the sun's true fire. The wind is extremely strong, roaring and raging like a tidal wave.
Su Xiaoya once saw with her own eyes that a passing Jindan stage bird demon was accidentally caught in the Nine Yang罡风. The protective spiritual power was instantly torn apart by the罡风, and the body was scratched all over. Finally, it fell into the sea in a mess.
Only at noon, when the sun is at the center, will the power of the Nine Yang Gale be slightly weakened like a spent bow. This is also the best time for Yang-attributed cultivators to absorb spiritual energy.
At night, "lunar fog" will rise from the warm sea of the underworld at the bottom of the mountain.
The "Lunar Fog" is light black in color, with a hint of chill, slowly spreading from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, and the entire mountain is shrouded in a haze.
What's even more dangerous is that there is a kind of tiny insect called "fog midge" hidden in the Taiyin fog. This insect is invisible and intangible, but it can penetrate the monk's protective spiritual power, drill into the monk's body and devour the monk's spiritual power.
Lao Bai was still unwilling to give in and tried to enter the Taiyin Mist. However, after a few moments, Xiao Bai's soul power was lost by nearly 30%, and it was so scared that it retreated immediately.
If Su Xiaoya had not exchanged a piece of ten thousand year old soul nourishing wood in the system, Lao Bai would not know how long it would take to recover.
Of course, the lunar fog is not all harmful. Every morning when the fog dissipates, a layer of "Yin dew" like nectar will be left on the ground.
"Taiyin Lu" contains pure Yin-attribute spiritual energy and is an excellent main material for refining Yin-attribute pills. It can even be used to assist Yin-attribute cultivators in breaking through the realm.
"This Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain is really peculiar. It is masculine during the day and feminine at night. It is just like a natural Tai Chi diagram." Yu Wenjianyu sighed, his eyes full of curiosity.
Yu Wenwenyu was also an adventurous person. Curious, he couldn't help but want to explore. "Since there's a Wenyuan Minghai at the bottom of the mountain, why don't we go explore it tonight and see what the Taiyin Mist and Taiyin Dew look like, and also study the waters of the Wenyuan Minghai."
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng both thought this was a good suggestion, so they decided to go to the bottom of the mountain that night to find out what was going on.
As night fell, the three of them took Xiaoqing, Xiaojiu and Jinlong and walked along the mountain path towards the bottom of the mountain.
As for Lao Bai, he has returned to the space to recuperate.
As the group reached the mountainside, they felt a chill blowing in their faces, and the scene before them became hazy - the lunar fog had begun to rise, and the light black fog surged like a tide, covering the surrounding trees and rocks, leaving only vague outlines visible.
Su Xiaoya immediately asked everyone to release their protective spiritual power. At the same time, she took out a few pieces of "fog-avoiding jade" and distributed them to everyone: "This fog-avoiding jade can block the invasion of fog midges. Everyone be careful and follow me closely."
Su Xiaoya had redeemed this "fog-avoiding jade" in the system store after Lao Bai's soul was damaged. Since Jin Long and Lao Bai had no souls, they couldn't afford to get hurt again.
Ugh!
With two lively and adventurous fellow "Piao" people, what could Su Xiaoya do? She just spoiled them! After all, there were only four Blue Star people in the entire Qingyuan Star.
The group donned their "fog-avoiding jades" and carefully made their way through the Taiyin fog. After about half an hour, the three finally reached the bottom of the mountain.
The scene before them amazed Su Xiaoya and the other two - the bottom of the mountain was indeed connected to a vast ocean.
"Is this the Wenyuan Minghai?" Su Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh.
The waters of Wenyuan Nether Sea are a strange golden-red color. The surface is calm, but it contains an indescribable pressure.
What’s even more peculiar is that the sea water emits a faint heat, which forms a sharp contrast with the cold air of the surrounding lunar fog.
Su Xiaoya stretched out her hand and touched the sea water, and immediately felt a burning force coming through her fingertips. If she were an ordinary cultivator, her skin would probably be burned instantly.
"The aura of this seawater is completely different from the golden waters of Tanggu." Yu Shuheng squatted down and used a compass to explore the properties of the seawater. "Tanggu's waters contain pure solar fire, while the waters of Wenyuan Minghai seem to be a fusion of solar essence fire and earth vein spiritual springs. It has both masculine energy and feminine charm."
Su Xiaoya looked thoughtfully at the intersection of the Wenyuan Minghai and the sea water of Tanggu in the distance - although the two seas were connected, they were clearly separated and there was no sign of blending, as if they were separated by an invisible barrier.
"Look," she pointed at the intersection, "the golden waters of Tanggu and the golden-red waters of Wenyuan Minghai don't interfere with each other. It defies common sense. One is purely masculine, the other a blend of yin and yang, yet they can coexist peacefully. There must be some secret hidden in this."
Yu Shuheng and Yu Wenxuan also came closer to observe, their eyes full of confusion. The three of them began to study the boundary between the sea and the water carefully, trying to find out the reason.
Just as the three were arguing, huge ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of Wenyuan Minghai. Circles of ripples spread out in all directions, and the originally calm sea water began to roll violently.
Immediately afterwards, a huge figure slowly emerged from the bottom of the sea. The figure was dozens of feet long, emitting a golden-red light all over its body. It was covered with fine scales, and each scale was like a small mirror, reflecting the scorching light.
Its head is huge, and its two eyes are as big as lanterns, flashing with a faint blue light, revealing a sense of majesty and mystery.
"This is..." Yu Wenjianyu had never seen such a huge sea beast before. He was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, subconsciously releasing his body-protecting spiritual power, his face full of shock.
Yu Shuheng also tightly gripped the magic weapon in his hand, staring at the sea beast vigilantly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
Only Su Xiaoya remained calm. After her experience with the Hidden Spirit Elephant, Su Xiaoya was extremely curious about the mysterious beads given by the divine bird on the Fusang tree.
After thinking about it, she released her spiritual sense and carefully explored the breath of the sea beast. She found that although the sea beast was majestic, it really had no malice at all. Instead, it had an ancient and gentle breath.
"Don't panic," Su Xiaoya said softly, holding the shoulders of the two people beside her. "It doesn't mean to attack us. It seems to just want to communicate with us."
Yu Shuheng blinked and also thought of the hidden spiritual elephant.
At this time, Su Xiaoya frowned. She actually understood the language of sea beasts?
But she didn’t have this function before!
After a moment, Su Xiaoya listened to the sea beast's story and translated it truthfully for Yu Shuheng and the others: "It said it is the guardian of the Wenyuan Nether Sea and has lived there for tens of thousands of years. It sensed that we have been studying the seawater and knew we had no ill intentions, so it showed up to meet us."
After a pause, he continued, "It also said that this is its territory. It allows us to explore here, but we must not disrupt the balance here, otherwise it will be rude to us."
Su Xiaoya quickly bowed to the sea beast and said respectfully, "Thank you for your tolerance, Senior. We live in Nieyao Niu Mi Mountain. We will be neighbors from now on."
When Yu Shuheng heard Su Xiaoya declare her sovereignty over the territory, a smile flashed across his eyes. However, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so it is still necessary to maintain good relations with the neighbors.
"We are simply curious about how the two waters can be so clearly separated. We have no intention of causing any damage. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us."
The sea monster seemed to understand Su Xiaoya's words. Its huge head nodded slightly, then opened its mouth and let out a low roar, as if responding to Su Xiaoya.
Then, it swung its tail, stirring up a golden-red wave, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, disappearing from everyone's sight.
Looking at the direction where the sea monster disappeared, Su Xiaoya, Yu Shuheng and Yu Wen Zhangyu smiled at each other, and the worries in their hearts also dissipated.
Being able to coexist peacefully with sea beasts is naturally the best. Su Xiaoya smiled and said to Yu Shuheng and the others, "It seems that the secrets of this Wenyuan Minghai are more complicated than we imagined."
"Indeed. However, since the sea beasts have allowed us to explore here, let's slowly study and eventually solve this mystery." Yu Shuheng pondered. After all, it was all experience. They now had an East China Sea island for themselves, so naturally they had to explore the surroundings thoroughly. Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe for the Su family to live here.
The three of them no longer hesitated and continued to carefully observe the intersection of the Wenyuan Minghai and Tanggu sea waters, taking out magic tools from time to time to record data.
In the darkness of the night, their figures, shrouded in the lunar fog, appeared exceptionally focused and determined.
Just as they were concentrating on their research, suddenly, a strange wave came from the direction of Tanggu.
At the junction of the sea waters that were originally clearly divided, the golden waters of Tanggu began to surge restlessly, as if being pulled by a powerful force.
