Chapter 143 Goodbye Fang Yunxiu
"This control condition... is it because of the blood-containing spiritualism technique? This is very interesting. Well, it's just a single piece of evidence. I'll try a few more later."

The dark red inner armor is as thin as a snake's skin, and although it has not yet undergone the final polishing, it is not very beautiful.

But for Li Yuan, it was enough. What he needed was the control effect:
"Resist water and fire!"

Li Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and after carefully looking around, he put away his inner armor, closed his eyes slightly, and chose to take control directly.

hum!
As soon as he thought about it, Li Yuan felt a slight numbness in his body, which spread throughout his body, as if he was covered by a layer of invisible and intangible gauze.

After his Weapon Control Scroll was promoted to the fifth level, he was rarely hit hard when changing Scrolls.

"it works!"

Li Yuan felt the change instantly.

The unbearable high temperature in the Chirong Cave suddenly dropped several levels.

Although it was still a bit hot, it felt like being exposed to the scorching sun, rather than the unbearable feeling of being stuffed into a stove.

"try again?"

After opening his eyes, Li Yuan was eager to try, but he still carefully took a pill to protect his internal organs, and then walked slowly towards the depths of the Chirong Cave as if facing a formidable enemy.

The tunnel was a bright red, and the stone walls were burned into crystals by the high temperature. After walking a few steps, Li Yuan felt hot all over and had difficulty breathing.

"Five meters, ten meters..."

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and counted in his mind.

Before, he could only walk thirteen meters at most by mobilizing his internal energy and blood. But with this inner armor, he could walk more than twenty meters and it seemed to be tolerable.

On the contrary, the specially made fire-resistant boots couldn't bear it and emitted thick smoke. After Li Yuan kicked them off, they quickly burned up.

"Thirty-five meters!"

After walking a few more steps, Li Yuan felt that he still had some strength left, but after looking at the tunnel that seemed to have no end, he turned around and walked out.

"No wonder the ancestors of the Divine Weapon Valley have not found the Black Whale Hammer for more than a thousand years. The temperature is too high."

He opened his mouth and spewed out a cloud of black smoke. Sweat continued to seep out and evaporate. It took a while to drive away the heat.

The tunnel was unreasonably hot, like a natural crematorium. An ordinary person thrown in would be burned to ashes in a short while.

"call!"

Li Yuan swallowed another internal organ protection pill and took a while to calm down. His eyes were bright and a little excited.

Even with the inner armor, he could only walk more than 40 meters, but this confirmed his idea that the inner armor of the red dragon fish was really useful!
"One level three inner armor is not enough, how about five? What if they can be combined into level five? That should be enough, right?"

Li Yuan felt a little excited and saw hope.

As long as he had enough red dragon fish skin armor, he had full confidence that he could reach the end of the tunnel.

"Prepare both hands. Stack both the forging hammer and the red dragon fish leather armor."

Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows. Although he had some idea of ​​what to do, it was still difficult to do.

The forging hammer was easy. As long as he had enough divine fire and gold and silver, he could quickly build it. But this inner armor...

"Ashui alone is not enough, it would be best if I could go down and catch them myself."

Li Yuan became interested.

On the gray stone platform, he had several items that improved his water ability. As long as he could endure the coldness of the pond, he would have no problem going into the water.

……

Early the next morning, after Li Yuan practiced a few sets of military exercises to activate his blood circulation, he picked up his fishing gear and the little mouse and headed straight for the cold pond.

Before daybreak, many disciples had gathered by the cold pond. Few were rowing boats across the pond, but most were fishing.

The news that Liang A Shui caught the Red Dragon Spirit Fish caused a sensation in the entire Shenbing Valley. Not only the inner disciples on the inner island, but also the outer disciples on the other side came to try their luck.

These days, from morning to night, even at night, there are people fishing, and some even take boats to the center of Hantan.

The ferrying business suddenly became many times better, and there were even a few disciples setting up stalls to sell fishing gear and various baits.

He looked around but didn't see Liang A Shui.

"Brother Li, are you going to leave the island?"

Before Li Yuan reached the shore, many disciples had already seen him. Some avoided him, while others came forward to solicit business.

"Well, let's go fishing."

Li Yuan shook the fishing gear he was holding and asked, "How much silver do you want to rent your boat for a day?"

"what?"

The disciple was stunned and rubbed his hands: "Brother Li, what are you talking about? You want to use a boat, why do you need silver?"

Li Yuan took out a silver ingot, about twelve or thirty taels, and asked, "How many days can you rent it for?"

"Brother, you can use it as long as you want!"

The disciple took the silver, smiled happily, handed over the oar, and pointed to the shore:
"Brother Li, that's my boat. When you don't need it, just tie it to the shore."

"Ah."

Li Yuan responded and stepped onto the boat.

The boat is not big, it is a unified black-sailed boat of Shenbing Valley. There is room for two people to lie in the cabin, and there is a stove and two pots.

Li Yuan had never rowed a boat before, but he had a very good grasp of strength. After fiddling with it a few times, he rowed to the center of the lake.

"The high fever in the fire veins indicates fire poison, and the cold water in the cold pond indicates cold poison. An ordinary person would sink immediately if they fell into the water. It is not a good place to enter."

Li Yuan rowed the boat.

The cold pond water, the underground fire, the mountain gate of Shenbing Valley was chosen with great care, and it is a natural place for casting weapons.

It is known as one of the three wonders of Huizhou, along with Huolongkou in Dechang Prefecture and Fenglei Valley in Pingshan Prefecture, and is relatively the safest.

When they reached the center of the lake, Li Yuan stopped the boat, stretched out his hand to touch the water, and felt it was cold.

"Well, it's much milder than the cold pond water in the Weapon Forging Valley."

After Li Yuan put on the red dragon fish leather armor, he tried it again and felt that the water seemed a little warm.

"Rather than fire and water, how about heat and cold?"

Shaking off the water droplets on his hands, Li Yuan paddled the boat, found an empty corner, took off his coat, and jumped in with a "plop".

"Well, the temperature is OK."

After controlling several items with water properties, Li Yuan took a deep breath and sank into the water.

The density of the cold pond water seemed to be greater than that of water. Li Yuan felt the resistance after sinking a few meters.

"No wonder it is called a wonder. Well, I hope there will be something to gain."

Li Yuan stretched out his arms and jumped down.

He had a strong physique and his good water skills made him more agile than experienced sailors. He quickly dived more than 80 meters underwater.

He opened his eyes and looked around.

When we got here, the water in the cold pond became even more icy and there were fewer fish, but the fish here were very expensive.

Li Yuan even saw a spirit fish.

"This cold pond is a bit deep."

Li Yuan took a quick look and dived against the resistance. The deeper he went, the greater the resistance he found, and the colder the water became.

When they reached a depth of about 200 meters, it was already dark nearby and it was difficult to see any light. Then, the water went down a few dozen meters and Li Yuan felt like he was about to suffer from a fear of deep water.

"It's not the bottom yet!"

Li Yuan already felt the biting cold, and his oxygen was consumed rapidly. After a while, he could not hold on any longer and had to return to the surface.

"call!"

Li Yuan climbed onto the boat, shook off the ice water on his body, and took a deep breath:

"The water pressure in this cold pond seems to be even greater. I can dive to 250 meters at a time, which is far beyond the limit of ordinary people. But, I haven't reached the bottom yet."

No wonder the Black Whale Hammer has not been found in the Divine Weapon Valley for more than a thousand years.

Li Yuan's heart froze slightly.

Even with a physique comparable to that of a shapeshifter and the blessing of water, he couldn't dive to the bottom...

"Try again, at least we have to catch a red dragon fish, right?"

After a while, Li Yuan looked around and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he dived into the pool.

At the same time, he grabbed two heavy hammers in his hands.

With the extra three hundred kilograms of weight, Li Yuan sank dozens of meters in an instant, and soon he dived to more than two hundred meters.

I broke my own record very easily.

Woo!
Li Yuan mobilized his qi and blood, moved his internal strength, and endured the pressure of the deep water. Soon, he touched something under his feet.

When he opened his eyes, Li Yuan almost couldn't see his own hands.

"In the end? No, not yet..."

After adapting for a while and pushing his Qi and blood to the limit, Li Yuan could barely see the water about three to five meters away. Only then did he realize that he was standing on a large rock growing out of the bottom of the pool. The water was dark and far from the bottom.

At this point, the blessing of the red dragon fish skin seemed to be useless. The biting cold penetrated the skin and seemed to reach the soul directly. Li Yuan couldn't help but tremble his teeth.

He suspected that if it weren't for the Red Dragon Fish Armor, he would have frozen to death here by now.

"How can it be so cold?!"

Li Yuan couldn't hold on any longer, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a flash of red light not far away.

"Red Dragon Fish!"

Li Yuan shuddered and clenched his two hammers. When the red light came whistling, he swung out both hammers and smashed down against the huge resistance.

The two peaks penetrate the ears!
A huge undercurrent surged, and Li Yuan floated uncontrollably, unable to stand steadily. However, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and managed to catch the red dragon fish that he had knocked unconscious into his arms.

"More than 100 pounds!"

Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised. This fish was bigger than the one Liang Ashui had caught before and was worth at least six hundred taels of gold!

Is this how you make money by fishing?

Suddenly, Li Yuan felt an undercurrent surging, and a hint of red light appeared in his eyes.

"what?!"

Li Yuan was startled and without thinking, he retracted the sledgehammer and tried to jump back into the water holding the red dragon fish.

At the same time, he glanced back.

His eyelids twitched wildly at this glance.

In the gloomy and lightless darkness, there seemed to be a flash of blood, stirring and flowing, rushing towards himself like a torpedo.

"not good!"

Li Yuan instantly put the red dragon fish into the gray stone platform, and with his internal strength bursting out, he suddenly rushed towards the water surface.

In that line of blood, he saw a monster as thick as a water tank and probably more than thirty meters long!

It is shaped like a python, but not as smooth as the ordinary red dragon fish. It looks more like it has scales.

The two big bulges on the huge fish head looked like two dragon horns.

"Red Dragon Fish King?!"

Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He could hardly hold his breath at this moment. If he was swept down, he would probably suffocate to death.

Bang!
Li Yuan rushed out of the water like a cannonball, and he seemed to hear the roar of a giant beast.

boom!
Li Yuan turned over and landed on the sampan, taking a deep breath with two hammers in his hands, as if facing a formidable enemy.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no trace of the giant fish.

"That should be the Red Dragon Fish King, right?"

Li Yuan's heart was beating like a drum. He had held his breath to his limit. He held the hammer tightly, not knowing whether he was lucky or not.

Jing Shuhu had been looking for the Red Dragon Fish King for his entire life, and he encountered it the first time he went into the water.

but……

"It's over thirty meters long. I'm afraid I can't beat it even on the shore."

Li Yuan felt a little scared.

The weight of the red dragon fish king must be twenty or thirty tons. Not to mention him, he doubted that Ba Wanli's physique could not withstand a flick of its tail.

Li Yuan waited motionlessly for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that the giant fish had sunk to the bottom of the water.

"This fish doesn't dare to leave the water. It must have suffered a great loss... Hmm, maybe it's Old Han? It is said that Old Han is also eyeing this king fish."

After putting away the sledgehammer, Li Yuan no longer had the mood to go into the water again. He really didn't expect that this fish king could be so big.

"Is this fish going to turn into a dragon?"

Li Yuan murmured in his heart.

He had eaten most of the red dragon fish, so he naturally knew the benefits of this spiritual fish unique to the cold pond.

There are indeed some subtle changes in his bones.

Li Yuan felt a little jealous, but the fish was really too big.

"It would be difficult for me to win by myself..."

Li Yuan rowed the boat back to the inner island.

This cold pond filled the gaps between the mountains and was quite vast, so no one noticed his coming and going.

After tying the boat to the shore, Li Yuan was about to leave when he inadvertently saw an acquaintance.

"Ms. Fang?"

Fang Yunxiu stood on the sampan. Although she was dressed simply, she still attracted a lot of people's attention. She seemed to be worried about something and frowned.

Hearing Li Yuan's voice, she looked up:
"Junior Brother Li?"

She counted her feet, and it was like a hawk leaping onto the shore. Her movements were swift and beautiful, and it was clear that her martial arts skills had improved greatly:
"How did you know I was coming back?"

Li Yuan smiled and took the package from her.

After looking up and down for a few times, Fang Yunxiu was a little surprised. With her keen perception, she actually sensed the danger.

This kid...

"You, are already strong inside?!"

Li Yuan also looked at her and could faintly smell the scent of blood: "You have made some progress. Unlike Senior Sister Fang, you have already changed your form."

"you……"

Seeing him admit it, Fang Yunxiu was even more shocked, but then she came to her senses: "You, you didn't eat the Mind-Returning Pill, did you?"

"Ah."

Li Yuan nodded.

Without the Mind-Preserving Pill, he estimated that he would have to spend several more months before he could strengthen his inner strength.

"You, ah! One Mind-Replenishing Pill can be exchanged for hundreds of Blood-Enhancing Pills. You are such a waste!"

Fang Yunxiu looked distressed.

"I've already eaten it, it's too late to regret it."

Li Yuan spread his hands.

"The Pill King worth nine hundred taels of silver is worthless even if you take it when your inner strength is fully developed! With your talent, you can make it in a year or two..."

The two of them went towards the island, and on the way, Fang Yunxiu repeated it several times.

The Mind-Replenishing Pill was a medicine that she would never eat in her lifetime. Nine hundred taels of silver, if she exchanged it for the worst pill, would last her at least a year.

Fang Yunxiu lives in Jianbing Hall, which has an independent courtyard with a bamboo forest and a stream outside the door, and the environment is quiet and peaceful.

Here, Li Yuan saw another acquaintance.

Lu Bailing, Miss Lu, was dressed like a menial disciple, without her former charm and looked rather haggard.

The two looked at each other from a distance, then looked away as a greeting.

"Xiao Ling."

Fang Yunxiu took off the package, took out a few boxes of exquisite snacks and handed them over.

Lu Bailing forced a smile, took the snacks and went back to the house.

"Ugh."

Fang Yunxiu sighed and went into the house.

Li Yuan didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but Wang Peiyao also mentioned Lu Bailing's matter to him.

Since her martial arts were abolished, Lu Bailing has become silent, cut off contact with everyone in Gaoliu County, and rarely leaves the house.

Inside the house, Li Yuan asked about the main matter:
"By the way, Senior Sister Fang, how is Master now?"

"not too good……"

Speaking of this, Fang Yunxiu frowned even more:
"Although Qianjun Cave colluded with the Evil God Cult, Mr. Han's actions were still too cruel... violent."

Seeing her like this, Li Yuan was a little shocked: "Master, is he really going to kill the Qianjun Cave Master?"

He is the head of a powerful clan who controls an entire prefecture. It is no exaggeration to say that he is more noble than a king or a prince.

"Mr. Han usually doesn't take action, but if he does, then..."

Rubbing his temple, Fang Yunxiu felt very tired: "When I returned to the sect, half of the six elders of Qianjun Cave's inner sect had been killed by Old Han.

He not only wants to kill the Qianjun Cave Master..."

Fang Yunxiu paused, lowered her voice, and had a very complicated expression, with fear and worry all over:

"Mr. Han, we are going to destroy our family."
