Chapter 301 Water Spirit Palace
The stone tablet is somewhat mottled, and many of the characters on it are no longer legible; only a few can be barely recognized.
Moreover, with this stone tablet as the boundary, it’s as if there are two different worlds before and after it.
Xu Changqing was to the left of the stone tablet. The black water was normal and there was no problem.
But on the opposite side, to the right of the stone tablet, was a completely different story, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.
Indistinctly, the ruins of some buildings leaned precariously inside.
Judging from its appearance, this place has been abandoned for a long time and looks very dilapidated and ancient.
After thinking it over, Xu Changqing suddenly broke away from the demonic dragon’s water-avoiding boat and let it cross the stone tablet first.
After waiting for a while and seeing that nothing happened, they followed.
It seems there’s nothing left here.
Especially dangerous things.
From left to right, it seems like just a short distance is being traversed.
But the actual changes are significant.
As Xu Changqing stepped back onto the deck of the demon dragon’s water-avoiding ship, he immediately noticed the utter silence around him.
There was no undulation like that of large fish moving.
There were no abnormal vibrations.
The whole place was deathly silent.
This place feels deeper than the black water behind us.
Occasionally, you can see some flickering, eerie light, but you don’t know what it is.
Since it was Xu Changqing’s first time here, he had no guide and could only proceed step by step.
And so they steered the dragon-shaped water-avoiding boat, moving slowly through the lifeless, inky black water.
Minimize your presence as much as possible and avoid attracting anyone’s attention.
They ventured deeper and deeper, gradually approaching a building ruin.
At first glance, it looks a bit like an altar or something.
The ground was covered with cracks, and many thick stone pillars were stuck around it.
It has both chains made of some kind of metal and some kind of extremely complex runes.
Xu Changqing scanned the area with his spiritual sense, imprinting all these things, especially the runes, into his mind. After piecing them together, he widened his eyes and said, “If I remember correctly, this is a very ancient rune, something like… Zhou Tian Locking Dragon Pattern.”
Let alone ordinary talisman masters, even someone at Lao Bai’s level couldn’t possibly create such a work.
There are many reasons, but one key reason is that the artist must have at least the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation to have enough magical power to support it.
Otherwise, forcibly depicting it will backfire and may even imprison one’s own soul.
Such a big place.
So many runes.
This shows that a talisman master who personally crafts such a talisman must be a top-tier individual.
Moreover, he is at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Just then, Xu Changqing made a new discovery: there seemed to be an entrance on the other side.
He rode the demonic dragon-shaped water-avoiding boat closer, and a layer of seven-colored water curtain appeared in front of him.
Inside, there were vague outlines of buildings.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing did not rush in, but instead took out the Water-absorbing Pearl and threw the several large fish he had caught earlier onto the deck.
He then grabbed one of them and threw it at the colorful water curtain in front of him.
With a “plop,” the large fish quickly darted into it.
I thought we were going to be attacked, but nothing happened.
The big fish is very safe inside, and there is water on the other side of the colorful water curtain.
However, Xu Changqing was still not entirely at ease and continued to throw in the other large fish from the deck, one after another.
Keep trying, keep testing.
They only stopped when they ran out of fish.
Then, carefully observe the situation on the other side of the colorful water curtain.
These large fish swam around inside, seemingly curious about this unfamiliar place.
After confirming that there were no problems, Xu Changqing controlled the demon wood water-avoiding boat to approach.
As you slowly enter, the colorful water curtain in front of you begins to sway slightly.
With a “pop,” a person and a boat successfully entered and arrived at the other side.
The scene before me looked like a dilapidated palace, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.
There was a plaque hanging crookedly.
There are three characters above, written in a vigorous and flowing style:
Water Spirit Palace
Something on the eaves directly in front of us was emitting a soft white glow.
Xu Changqing glanced at the large fish swimming around him, then spurred one of them to swim towards the glowing spot.
After confirming there was no danger, they cautiously approached.
Then they discovered that the thing emitting the white halo was actually a round bead about three inches in diameter, milky white in color, containing extremely rich water elemental energy.
The surface of the beads is covered with fine water ripple patterns. These patterns are not engravings, but rather resemble real water flowing in and out.
Xu Changqing was surprised and asked in surprise, “Isn’t this the Water Spirit Orb?”
When spiritual energy reaches a certain concentration, it will condense into essence crystals.
Over time, these accumulated essences will transform into spirit beads of various attributes.
Although these spirit orbs cannot help the wearer develop a spiritual root, they can amplify the corresponding attributes to a certain extent.
A powerful spirit orb, said to amplify strength by 100%.
Because of its small size, the amplification effect of this water spirit orb in front of us will not be very high.
However, for cultivators with water-elemental roots, its value even surpasses that of a six-patterned spiritual weapon.
Now, it stands here all alone, radiating a halo of light that no one appreciates.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing couldn’t help but feel empathy and said, “You don’t have a master, and I don’t have a Water Spirit Orb. If you don’t mind, let’s make do from now on.”
Water Spirit Orb: “…”
Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “Your silence means you agree!”

He immediately grabbed the water spirit orb in his hand.
The moment they made contact, a continuous stream of water-based spiritual energy tried to penetrate their bodies.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing quickly threw it into the green gourd and set it aside for the time being.
Once I have a water spirit root, I’ll take it out and give it a proper treatment.
Next, as he surveyed his surroundings, he also extended his spiritual senses.
Soon, something else was discovered inside the palace ruins.
Judging from the intensity feedback, it should be even rarer than the Water Spirit Orb.
Since they had to go inside, the Demon Dragon Water-Avoiding Boat could only be moored outside.
Like a fish swimming, he slipped into the collapsed opening.
We arrived at a place that resembled a banquet hall, surrounded by broken pieces of furniture such as upturned tables, serving tables, and benches.
However, there was nothing detected by spiritual sense here; that thing was still deeper inside.
Xu Changqing glanced at the items and, finding nothing particularly noteworthy, packed up the few relatively intact food tables and benches before continuing his exploration deeper into the area.
Following a corridor that was half collapsed, we soon arrived at the other end.
There was a collapsed ruin directly opposite. Although we hadn’t gotten close yet, we could feel an astonishing flow of water surging around us, even creating visible ripples.
Xu Changqing quickly activated the max-level Xuanmu Golden Body Technique, donned a crimson blazing fire shield, and added a ring of bright yellow earth before cautiously approaching.
Sure enough, I soon felt a strong surge of water.
Fortunately, thanks to the layers of protection, it can no longer cause any harm to the body.
As he got closer, he lifted up a section of the rubble in front of him and instantly saw a pool of water.
It wasn’t black water; on the contrary, it was very clear, like spring water.
Inside, there seemed to be a jade slip!
