?Chapter 704: Chapter 308: First Arrival at the Water Element Realm_2 Chapter 704: Chapter 308: First Arrival at the Water Element Realm_2 This light screen lasted for a full half an hour.
It wasn’t until half an hour later that the light screen automatically disappeared.
After the disappearance of the light screen, a newly sprouted grass shoot was left on the ground.
Lin Jing looked at the shoot and quickly used the system function to check the status of the grass shoot.
Seventh-grade rare spirit plant: Undying Longevity Grass
Current environment: Wood Element Realm.
Growth status: Environment matched, rapid growth in progress, time until maturity remaining: 10,000 years.
Indeed.
As a seventh-grade rare spirit plant, the Undying Longevity Grass required ten thousand years to grow, which didn’t surprise Lin Jing.
After all, this was a spirit plant that could extend a cultivator’s lifespan, which, apart from being extremely rare, also necessitated a particularly long growth period.
This was also the reason why the Lifespan Extension Pill was so precious.
Now it would take ten thousand years, but once Lin Jing used the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique to restore it to perfect condition,
it would need only five thousand years for the Undying Longevity Grass to fully mature.
And if Lin Jing wanted to accelerate its maturation, a perfectly restored ten-thousand-year Undying Longevity Grass would actually only require thirty-five thousand Harvest Points.
He would be able to harvest it directly.
Thirty-five thousand Harvest Points, if Lin Jing continuously practiced alchemy, wouldn’t actually take more than a few years to accumulate.
It’s just that right now Lin Jing didn’t have the time to mature it specifically for crafting a furnace full of Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.
Even if he were to accelerate maturation, naturally, he would wait until there was a need to do so.
After planting the Undying Longevity Grass, Lin Jing had to wait and see if the white mist would dissipate on its own.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Since there was nothing pressing at the moment, Lin Jing simply sat down next to the Undying Longevity Grass and began to operate the Shenglin Revival Wood Technique, attempting to restore the Undying Longevity Grass to perfect condition.
…
In System Space, an entire half month passed.
It took Lin Jing that long to restore the Undying Longevity Grass to perfect condition, and as a result, the growth time of the Undying Longevity Grass was cut by half.
Only 5,000 years remained.
After restoring the Undying Longevity Grass, Lin Jing calculated the time and felt it was about right.
Thus,
Lin Jing left the Spirit Field and first entered Observation Mode to take a look around.
Upon entering Observation Mode, Lin Jing, through the observer’s view, saw the situation outside.
Just as before, within the observer’s view, there was still the boundless white mist everywhere.
With one’s Divine Sense suppressed in the midst of the vast sea and with white mist everywhere, it really became difficult to handle.
After observing and finding nothing,
Lin Jing subsequently exited Observation Mode.
It wasn’t a solution to remain in System Space indefinitely, he still needed to figure out the situation here.
Li Mingwu had mentioned before that there were other cultivators in this Water Element Realm who had been swept in by the Sea of Strange mist.
Maybe he could try looking around to see if he could encounter other cultivators to inquire about the situation.
Subsequently,
Lin Jing left System Space.
After leaving System Space, Lin Jing continued to fly close to the sea surface.
There are Demonic Beasts in this sea.
Flying close to the sea surface might lead to attacks by the sea’s Demonic Beasts, something Lin Jing had encountered before during his search.
However, most of these Demonic Beasts weren’t very strong; the two times Lin Jing was attacked, they were only Golden Core level Demonic Beasts.
For Golden Core level Demonic Beasts, Lin Jing could easily kill them with a casual strike,
so he naturally didn’t pay them much mind.
…
…
Soon, another half-day passed.
Lin Jing had flown a considerable distance, yet the surrounding white mist showed no change, not dissipating in the slightest.
Looking at the vast expanse of white in front of him, and the grey-blue sea below, Lin Jing couldn’t help frowning.
However, he didn’t stop, and instead continued to explore…
Just like that, another half an hour passed.
During his exploration, Lin Jing finally sensed some different auras.
From the direction on Lin Jing’s left, there came a fluctuation of spiritual power, perhaps because it was too far away, the fluctuation was very weak by the time it reached Lin Jing.
Upon sensing this spiritual power fluctuation, Lin Jing quickly flew toward the direction from which it was coming.
As Lin Jing drew closer, the spiritual power fluctuation became clearer and clearer, and he became more certain that it was emanating from a cultivator.
Upon drawing near, Lin Jing could also hear the roar of the Demonic Beasts and the sound resembling a heavy object slapping the sea surface.
At this moment.
Lin Jing could already clearly sense the aura of the cultivator ahead.
From the fluctuations of spiritual power caused by the other’s spellcasting, he should be a Golden Core Cultivator.
?0???.??
Entangled with him was a Demonic Beast of the sea at the Golden Core Stage.
This man and beast seemed to be locked in a fierce battle.
Lin Jing followed the spiritual power fluctuations and continued forward.
Before long, he saw the man and beast in combat.
The cultivator ahead was a man dressed in green robes, and below him on the sea surface, there were also some remnants of wooden boats floating.
The one he was entangled with was a gigantic Demonic Beast with a single eye on its head and eight tentacles on its body.
The beast’s tentacles were very long and the tips were extremely sharp spikes.
The tentacles of the Demonic Beast could be used both to entangle and to sneak attack the enemy with their spiked ends.
The man in the green robe was clearly struggling to fend off the beast’s attacks.
Perhaps they had been fighting each other for some time.
Lin Jing noticed that the man seemed to be running low on spiritual power.
Lin Jing appeared and saw the entangled duo.
The cultivator and the Demonic Beast likewise noticed Lin Jing.
Upon seeing Lin Jing’s arrival, the man in green robes was startled for a moment, then became excited.
“Fellow Daoist!”
“Please help me eliminate this Demonic Beast.
As long as you help me kill this beast, I will certainly offer a generous reward.”
It seemed that Lin Jing’s arrival gave the man in green robes a significant boost in confidence.
After speaking, he immediately took the opportunity to command his flying sword and slashed at the Demonic Beast.
While slashing at the beast, the man in green robes also spoke:
“Fellow Daoist…”
“I’ll hold off this beast from the front.
You can launch a surprise attack from behind.
Together, we can surely slay this beast.”
…
The sudden arrival of Lin Jing, along with the proactive engagement from the green-robed cultivator, made the Demonic Beast sense danger.
It directly swung its eight tentacles together, launching an attack from the front.
Not only those eight tentacles, but…
There was also a slender tentacle that extended from behind the beast, passing through the water below to circle around to the back of the man in green robes, ready to strike him.
It turned out that the Demonic Beast actually had nine tentacles, and it had always hidden the last slim one.
The man in green robes, seeing so many tentacles attacking at once, quickly conjured several spiritual shields in front of him.
At the same time, his controlled flying sword did not hesitate for a moment and accelerated towards the Demonic Beast.
He only focused on the front and seemed to be completely unaware of the attacking tentacle from behind.
Although the man in green robes didn’t notice it, Lin Jing saw it clearly.
Lin Jing had been planning to ask around for some information, so how could he let this man die?
Therefore.
Lin Jing immediately activated the Five Elements Divine Art, condensing a Five-Colored Aurora which rushed into the Demonic Beast’s body at an extremely fast speed.
“Explode!”
Following Lin Jing’s low shout, the Five-Colored Aurora burst inside the Demonic Beast’s body.
In an instant…
The Demonic Beast suddenly became motionless.
It was only now that the man in green robes’ flying sword, arriving later than expected, cut into the Demonic Beast’s body.
When the Five-Colored Aurora appeared, the man in green robes naturally noticed it.
But, he never thought.
That a mere ball of five-colored light could have such immense power.
To his surprise, it directly finished off the Demonic Beast.
He knew that the other party was not a Golden Core Daoist as he had imagined.
The other must be at least a senior at the Nascent Soul Stage.
He immediately turned around, wanting to thank the senior.
Just as he was turning, he noticed the tentacles that had lost control and were falling downwards.
Somehow, a tentacle had appeared behind him.
It seemed that the Demonic Beast had attempted a sneak attack on him just before.
Seeing this, the man in green robes suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
He hadn’t realized just how dangerous the situation had been.
Then.
The already dead Demonic Beast fell straight from the sky and, with a “plop,” landed in the sea below.
Only after the Demonic Beast fell into the sea did the man in green robes come to himself.
Afterward…
He rode his sword to Lin Jing’s side and greeted him with a cupped-fist salute:
“Thank you, senior, for your timely rescue!”
