Mo Qingdeng found four pale blue beads the size of apricot kernels on the fish fin of the strange fish, with shallow white water patterns on its surface. Although she had never seen the real thing, she had seen it in some jade slips before. This is the waterproof bead generated inside the body of many aquatic monsters.

  This isn't anything rare, it's said that many aquatic demonic beasts will produce this pearl when they reach the second level, but I suppose this Avoid Water Pearl is obtained from a fifth-level demonic beast, so its quality should be much better.

  Although the master can cast the water-avoiding spell in the water, it consumes spiritual power. With this water-avoiding bead, it's much more convenient. Mo Qingchen naturally happily accepted it.

  It's a pity that this strange fish has been dead for several months, and its flesh has already rotted away. Otherwise, the meat of a fifth-level demon beast would certainly be extremely nourishing.

  Mo Qingchen didn't give up and searched again, but in the end, he could only cut off a piece of fish skin from the abdomen that was still intact, remove the fishy smell with a special method, and store it in his storage ring.

  Mo Qingchen now only has this storage wristband, and is left with only two storage bags. The one she originally got from the Mo family because of its commemorative significance, she still kept it close to her body. Another one that was originally bought for storing spiritual medicine was hung outside as a facade, currently only some spirit stones were put inside.

  It's time to leave, Mo Qingchen thought, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

  The pouch that fell into the stomach of the strange fish contained not only her commonly used medicinal pellets and talismans, but also a pill furnace for refining pills.

  Now she's in a good position, apart from spiritual medicine and top-grade, extreme-grade elixirs, her hands are empty.

  This is a sea area, and it's unknown how long it will take to fly out. She can't afford to consume top-grade spiritual pills every time she replenishes her spiritual energy; that would be too extravagant and might even attract heavenly punishment!

  Moreover, even if she has now reached an extremely high level in refining these ordinary elixirs, the number of top-grade elixirs she can refine is still very small after all these years, and it's uncertain whether they will be enough to support her going out.

  Unable to think of a good way, Mo Qingchen stepped onto the flying sword and slowly flew higher and higher. He wanted to see what kind of place she was in now and how big it was.

  Only when she flew high in the air did Mo Qingchen realize that where she was only a small isolated island, surrounded by seawater with floating ice blocks.

  Although Mo Qingchen can be classified as a road enthusiast, she has some understanding of the geographical distribution of China.

  The entire Divine State is divided into five major divisions, namely the Eastern Ten Continents, the Southern Crimson Wastes, the Western Taibai Domain, the Northern Barbaric Lands, and the Central Tianyuan Continent.

  In the north, the desolate land is a gathering place for evil cultivators, where demonic beasts roam and human cultivators rarely set foot. In contrast, the Western Tai Bai Domain is the territory of demon cultivators, who have always been at odds with the Taoist cultivators of the Tian Yuan Continent. The conflict between demon cultivators and Taoist cultivators is not a struggle between good and evil, but rather a difference in their cultivation methods. At its core, their fundamental conflict is still about interests.

  As for the Eastern Ten Continents, due to their great distance, not much information is known about them. However, there is a common understanding that everyone knows, which is that the entire Divine Land is the only place where the Eastern Ten Continents are located in the middle of the ocean.

  That is to say, since Mo Qingchen's place was in the ocean, as long as she kept flying west, she would eventually return to Tianyuan Continent.

  Having determined her direction, Mo Qingchen made up her mind. Crossing the sea was perilous, but she couldn't stay trapped here forever. With her current state being exceptionally good, it was the perfect opportunity to leave.

  The dustpan had finished sweeping up all the dirt, but Mo Qingchu was about to jump up when she lowered her head and stared at her clothes in a daze.

  The white dress that Mo Lian had given her was already tattered and worn out, corroded by the monster fish's stomach acid and bile to the point where even the key areas could no longer be covered.

  Originally, Mo Qingdun pierced the gallbladder of the strange fish, and the strange fish sprayed her out in severe pain. After waking up from a coma, she only took care of her injuries. Later, she obtained the inner elixir of the strange fish and had to practice immediately. After finishing her practice, she was busy searching for treasure again, and surprisingly, she never discovered her appearance.

  As soon as he noticed, Mo Qingdun suddenly felt a chill in some places and couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed. He looked up at the sky and thought to himself, was this good luck or bad luck?

  They say she's unlucky, yet she manages to narrowly escape death and gain many benefits. They say she's lucky, but now there's no spiritual energy supplementing elixir, no equipment for refining the elixir, not even clothes or shoes. Is it possible that she wants to become the first naked cultivator?

  Although Mo Qingchen was open-minded and didn't care about the dust, she hadn't reached the point where she could walk around naked without a care. She held onto a glimmer of hope and began to search the island.

  An hour later, Mo Qingchen returned with a frown on his face, empty-handed. He really had no choice but to dig out some colorful large shells from the pile of junk, thread them onto sturdy vines and wrap them around his body.

  Facing the water, Mo Qingchen couldn't help but smile wryly. Now this outfit was even more revealing than those of the female cultivators from the Huixiang Sect. Hopefully, the first cultivator she ran into would be a woman.

  Mo Qingchen jumped into the big bowl and flew straight west, but she didn't dare to stay comfortably at the bottom of the bowl to rest her mind. Instead, she clung to the edge of the bowl, paying attention to the movements outside. After all, this was on the high seas, who knew what dangers there might be?

  After flying for seven or eight days, Mo Qingchen discovered a small island and took a break there to rest her feet and recharge her energy before setting off again. After more than half a month of flying, when she had used up most of her top-grade Replenishing Spirit Pills, she finally sensed the presence of humans with her divine sense.

  Mo Qingchen was overjoyed in her heart, and she continued to fly over the ocean like this. Even if she hadn't encountered any danger, she was already very mentally exhausted. At this point, she couldn't care about dressing up anymore and accelerated towards her destination.

  A small boat floated on the sea, with a canopy at the bow and a woman in blue clothes sitting at the stern. She looked to be over twenty years old and had a cultivation base of three layers of Qi refinement.

  Mo Qingchen's heart was filled with joy, and he refined his energy to the third level. He could barely cast the Wind Control Spell, but it made him stronger, more agile, and sharper than ordinary people. The fact that he appeared here meant that there must be land not far away.

  No longer hesitating, he controlled the bowl-shaped device to slowly descend and appear in front of the woman.

  The woman sat at the back of the boat, originally with a anxious and impatient look staring at the sea surface, suddenly saw a huge blue and white porcelain bowl appear in front of her, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

  "Don't be alarmed, I'm an unexpected monk who came here, just wondering if there's a place to settle down around here?" A soft voice came from the bowl.

  It was a woman's voice. The blue-clothed woman's complexion improved somewhat, and she suddenly thought of something. She immediately knelt down and said: "You... are you a predecessor in the foundation-building period?"

  It seems that these common knowledge people here also know, Qing Chen said lightly: "That's right, I don't know if you have any extra clothes?"

  "Ah?" The woman in blue was taken aback.

  "Because I got my clothes torn while fighting with the demon beast—" Mo Qingchen's voice was calm and collected, but in reality, she was embarrassed. The cultivator who opened her mouth to ask for clothes as soon as they met, she was probably the first person in Broken Sky Sect to do so.

  The woman in blue was quick-witted and hadn't waited for Mo Qingchen to finish speaking before reacting, hastily saying: "Senior, please wait a moment." After finishing speaking, she got up and walked into the cabin, soon returning with a set of pink clothes in her hands.

  "Elder, I only prepared this set and don't know if it's suitable. The material isn't very good..." The woman in blue said as the dress in her hand suddenly rose into the air and fell into the Qinghua porcelain bowl, revealing a look of admiration.

  A moment later, a woman in pink clothes jumped out of the large bowl. She was of medium build and slender, with her bangs covering her eyebrows and eyes. Her bright red lips were slightly raised, and the dimples on either side of her mouth appeared and disappeared, making her look like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

  The woman in blue was shocked and didn't dare to speak for a moment. Although she knew that the higher the monk's cultivation, the slower he would age, but she had never expected that the high-ranking person in her heart was actually so young.

  "Thanks for your kindness, this garment fits perfectly." Mo Qingchen said with a slight smile.

  Upon hearing this, the woman in blue finally came to her senses and hastily said: "I dare not be called 'Dao friend' by you, senior. You are being too polite to a humble person like me. My husband's surname is Yang, so just call me Mrs. Yang."

  Mo Qingchen raised an eyebrow. It had been many years since she'd heard such a worldly greeting. Was it possible that the cultivators here were different from those on the Tianyuan Continent?

  Others didn't know, but Mo Qingchen secretly suspected that the status of female cultivators on this side was absolutely not high.

  "Huh... Yang's family, I don't know what place this is, why are you here?" Mo Qingchen shouted somewhat uncomfortably.

  Yang's family hastily replied: "As for what you said earlier, the people on our side all call this place 'Clamshell Sea'. My husband and I came here to collect pearls."

  Yang's face turned somewhat anxious at this point.

  "Clam heart sea?" Mo Qingchen murmured, seeing Yang's unpleasant expression, and asked, "Yang's family, you came here to collect pearls, then where is your husband now——"

  "My husband has been out at sea for a while now, and he still hasn't come back up... I..." Yang's voice choked off here.

  Mo Qingchen saw the situation and said: "Don't panic first, I'll go down and take a look." After finishing, he grasped the water-avoiding pearl in his hand and jumped into the sea.

  This water-repelling bead is really useful. As soon as Mo Qingchen entered the water, the seawater seemed to have grown eyes and automatically parted to both sides, allowing her to walk inside as if she were on land without any difference.

  The deeper you dive, the more you see colorful fish swimming around, various types of algae, beautiful coral, and it's as if you've entered a crystal palace.

  This was her first time witnessing the wonders of the sea, and she couldn't help but feel stirred up inside. However, because she had to search for someone, she didn't have time to linger.

  Mo Qingchen slowly dispersed his divine sense, and he could feel many living beings with spiritual energy fluctuations. His divine sense extended further outwards, and finally sensed the aura of human cultivators.

  She immediately rushed over there and saw a man in a green robe with one leg clamped by a huge clam, bleeding profusely, surrounded by several carnivorous big fish. He was wielding a dagger in his hand, fighting these big fish, but it seemed hopeless.

  This person is truly lucky, apart from a strange fish that barely counts as a first-class demon beast, the others are all subpar.

  However, apart from luck, his will is also commendable, which can support his own arrival.

  As I thought of this, I suddenly remembered my master's words about "opportunities" many years ago. I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for his kindness and thoughtfulness. However, my heart felt a sudden pang, and I didn't think much more about it. I shot out several green needles and killed all the big fish, then came to the man's side.
