Hugging Luo Meiying's voluptuous body, Ling Xiao felt a surge of desire.
What's more, her aura had risen to another level, which made him even more mesmerized.
Although Ling Xiao wanted to have a good time with Luo Meiying, the Dragon Lady was right beside him. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would be too embarrassed to do it.
"Meiying, how did you do it?
You actually broke through to the Mystic Thearch Tier! "Ling Xiao kissed Luo Meiying and asked.
Although he did not break through himself, it was his woman who broke through to the Mystic Thearch Tier. Ling Xiao was still very happy for her.
Ling Xiao sighed in his heart. He had experienced life and death for many years before reaching the strength of a high-stage Heavenly Venerate. However, Luo Meiying had surpassed him in such a short period of time. This made him a little puzzled!
Luo Meiying said excitedly, "I don't know what's going on either. I looked at the waves and suddenly had a realization. When I first grasped the power of the world, I felt as if I had gone to another place. This allowed me to perfect the power of the world. After that, a surge of power suddenly erupted from my heart, and I reached the current realm!"
Luo Meiying's realization and breakthrough came naturally. She did not take a step further to find the reason.
However, Ling Xiao knew that breaking through to the Mystic Thearch Tier required a huge amount of water-attribute spirit energy. Other than her own energy eruption, Luo Meiying also needed to absorb an even larger amount of spirit energy. Without external help, she would not be able to break through in such a short period of time.
Needless to say, the external help that Luo Meiying borrowed was the Silver Spiral Sea Vine. The whirlpool that it created gave Luo Meiying a new realization. At the same time, it gathered the spirit energy of the nearby sea region. This was also one of the reasons why she could break through so quickly.
"Let's go, let's leave this place!" Although Ling Xiao wanted to search for treasures in the sea, he was more anxious to find the whereabouts of the Yin Lotus.
Now that Hou Ming and the others who led the team were all dead, he did not know how to find the Yin Lotus. However, he did not want to sit here and wait for death. Even if he had to travel the entire sea region, he had to find the Yin Lotus.
Ling Xiao felt that it was a pity for that mid-tier eighth rank Silver Spiral Sea Vine. If he could find it, it would definitely be beneficial to Luo Meiying.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to leave with Luo Meiying, Ling Xiao glanced at the protruding black mudstone nearby. He discovered that the spots on the mudstone were flashing with silver light.
Out of curiosity, Ling Xiao squatted down and slapped the black mud and stones with his palm.
Bang!
His palm slapped on the black mudstone, and a lot of black mud began to fly, revealing the true nature of the mudstone.
"Hey, this … This is a 10,000-year-old Mithril Stone!" Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
The black mud around the black mudstone fell off, revealing the silvery, jade-like smooth stone walls.
This was impressively a rare refining material, the 10,000-year-old Mithril Stone. It was a material of the same level as the 10,000-year-old Black Profound Stone that Ling Xiao had obtained before. It was one of the main materials for refining spirit or saint artifacts.
Although Ling Xiao was not a refiner, he naturally would not let go of such a good material.
If he were to bring this back to the palace's chief refiner, Du Tie, he believed that he would be overjoyed.
After all, this kind of material was not easy to find. Even if it was auctioned in an auction, it would be sold for a very high price.
"Xiao, what kind of stone is this?" Luo Meiying asked curiously.
Ling Xiao explained: "This is a 10,000-year-old Mithril Stone, it is a good material for refining. There are so many of them here, hurry up and collect them all. There is no market outside."
"Oh, then I'll help you!"
Luo Meiying was also a little excited. She immediately went to the side and slapped away the spots on the other black mudstone and collected the 10,000-year-old Mithril Stone.
After Luo Meiying had just collected a few pieces, she saw that there was a small silver spirit grass under one of the black mudstone.
This little spiritual herb was constantly swaying in the water, and its stem and vine were constantly shrinking, looking very lifelike.
Luo Meiying wanted to pick it, but after hesitating for a moment, she turned to Ling Xiao and asked: "Xiao, come over and see what kind of spirit grass this is. It's really strange!"
Ling Xiao rushed to her side and looked at the spirit grass under the black mudstone.
This spirit grass seemed to have a spiritual nature, and it actually wanted to shrink into the sea mud.
"Silver Whirling Sea Vine!" Ling Xiao exclaimed, and quickly threw the Secluded Water Pearl towards the black mudstone.
The attached seawater automatically dispersed, and there was immediately no water in the space of two or three meters.
The silver spirit grass lost the support of water, and was forcibly stuck under the stone crack, unable to escape.
Without saying anything, Ling Xiao pinched it in his hand.
However, the spirit grass seemed to be unwilling to be captured like this, and kept struggling.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain!
"Haha, there are actually two Silver Whirling Sea Vines here. This one seems to be just a seedling, and it hasn't even reached the seventh rank, so it hasn't condensed its soul. Just right!" Ling Xiao said with a happy smile.
This was the same spirit grass that had just escaped, it was the same Silver Whirling Sea Vine. This one was just a seedling, and it couldn't be compared with the mature Silver Whirling Sea Vine. But this one was easier to capture, and also easier to cultivate. In the future, it could become a great help.
Ling Xiao really didn't think that there would be two Silver Whirling Sea Vines in the same place.
In fact, Ling Xiao didn't know that the Silver Whirling Sea Vine that had just escaped came from the depths of the sea, and it didn't grow here. Now, this one was the spirit grass that was growing in this place, and the other high-level Silver Whirling Sea Vine wanted to devour this seedling before it grew up, so that it could help it to advance to the next level.
But it didn't expect that it would bring Luo Meiying here, and Luo Meiying just happened to break through, and stopped it from devouring the seedling.
It could be said that this seedling had received Luo Meiying's care, and it was destined to belong to Luo Meiying as a treasure.
"What spirit grass is this to make you so excited? But I feel that it gives me a feeling of familiarity." Luo Meiying looked at the Silver Whirling Sea Vine in Ling Xiao's hand and asked.
"Haha, this is the best gift that the heavens have given you." Ling Xiao laughed, and then put away the Silver Whirling Sea Vine and the Water Concealing Pearl. Then he said, "Let's leave this place first, and then I'll slowly explain to you."
Immediately after, the two of them rode the blue dragon and began to soar above the sea.
Ling Xiao was worried about the whereabouts of the Yin Lotus, so he immediately had the blue dragon start to search for the aura of humans.
The blue dragon was a water-type spirit beast, and this sea was definitely a holy land for it. With it carrying Ling Xiao and Luo Meiying, it was much faster than the ship. At the same time, they also had a group of "little brothers", the Blue Water Crocodiles, following behind them.
In order to find people as soon as possible, Ling Xiao had no choice but to have these nearly a hundred Blue Water Crocodiles follow them.
They were all spirit beasts of the sea, and they were more familiar with this place than anyone else, so it was much easier for them to find people.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Ling Xiao also explained the benefits of the Silver Whirling Sea Vine to Luo Meiying.
"You're saying that I can place it in my Knowledge Sea, and if it continues to grow, it can be used by me?" Luo Meiying asked in confusion.
She really couldn't understand why she was raising such a small spirit grass. Why didn't she just absorb it? Wouldn't that be more practical?
"Yes, don't look down on it. When it grows up and has a soul, you can use it to fight and create natural disasters like tsunamis. At the same time, you can use its spiral energy to increase your combat power!" Ling Xiao replied.
"So it can be done like this? Then how should I cultivate it?" Luo Meiying asked.
"This is very simple. You can usually feed it with water, and when you have nothing to do, use your spiritual force to communicate with it. When you can sense each other, you can absorb it into your Knowledge Sea. Of course, you also need to give it some Water Attribute energy to absorb so it can grow and advance," Ling Xiao said.
With Ling Xiao's explanation, Luo Meiying understood the benefits of this Silver Whirling Sea Vine and became even more excited. She immediately asked Ling Xiao for it, filled a container with water, and placed it in her Space Ring.
Above the sea, the Blue True Dragon writhed about, sometimes soaring into the air, sometimes diving down into the sea, stirring up thousands of waves.
Ling Xiao and Luo Meiying, who were sitting on its back, were protected by their light shields and were not disturbed at all.
Behind it, its "little brothers" had just dispersed to search for the aura of humans.
Now that they had come to the depths of the sea, those who dared to come here were all cultivators above the Empyrean Rank, no one below the Empyrean Rank dared to set foot here.
Here, there were often Sixth-Order and Seventh-Order spirit beasts appearing, which would be very troublesome once they encountered them.
The spirit beasts that originally lived here had already fled far away when they felt the aura of the Blue True Dragon.
"Did those guys really lie to me?
That shouldn't be the case! "Ling Xiao frowned and murmured.
Hou Ming and the others were not very strong. If they dared to deceive Ling Xiao into going out to sea, they must have some ulterior motive, so there should be some masters coming to pick them up.
But over the past two days, Ling Xiao had traveled a lot of sea areas and encountered a lot of people along the way, but none of them had the insignia of the Iron Water Mercenary Group, nor did they have any particularly frightening auras. He was sure that these people had nothing to do with Hou Ming and the others.
"Did I go in the wrong direction?" Ling Xiao thought again.
In this vast sea area, there was no distinction between north, south, east, and west, and since Ling Xiao had no destination to search for, it was not unusual for him to go in the wrong direction.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and had to change his direction to continue searching.
In the southeast direction of Ling Xiao's position, there was an isolated island.
This isolated island was very strange. All of its rocks were crimson in color, and the weeds that grew on it were also crimson in color. Hence, it was named "Red Rock Island".
Although Red Rock Island was an isolated island, many mercenaries who had gone out to sea knew of its existence.
Many mercenaries would rest on Red Rock Island when they came to this area, and at the same time, they would not go deeper into the sea.
This Red Rock Island was the sign of entering the deep sea area. If they went further, even if they were at the Mystic Thearch Rank, they would not be able to return.
Therefore, when many mercenaries came here, it was often time for them to return.
