The giant clam's body was ivory white, extremely large, and Mo Qing dust blew dozens of green needles into the gap. Suddenly, a strange hissing sound was heard, and the clam, in extreme pain, subconsciously opened its shell.
Mo Qingchen quickly pulled the man out, and in the flash of firelight, she saw two purple beads the size of longan fruit inside the shell. Without thinking much, she took them out with a swift motion.
The purple pearl had just been taken out, and the big clam seemed to have gone mad, opening and closing its shell, rushing towards the two of them at high speed.
This giant clam was only a second-level demon beast, and Mo Qingchen would naturally not be out of the question if he wanted to deal with it. However, at this time, the man's injuries were quite severe, and she had no intention of getting entangled further, so she took the man upstream.
The woman in blue skirt at the back of the boat was staring at the water without blinking, when suddenly a splash was heard, Mo Qingchen's head emerged, his face lit up with joy, but then he saw the man with his eyes tightly closed, his face covered in blood, and he couldn't help but feel shocked and frightened, and he quickly stood up to ask what had happened, but before he could, everything went black.
Mo Qingchen was shocked and speechless, for the first time discovering that ordinary women were actually so weak and fragile, even if they were cultivators.
She helplessly shook her head and dragged the man onto the boat, ignoring the unconscious woman in blue clothes, and began to examine the man's injuries.
The man's internal spiritual energy was depleted too much, although there were some violent disturbances, under the guidance of Mo Qingchen's strong and gentle spiritual energy, it calmed down.
His blue cloth garment had countless holes, revealing crisscrossing scars all over his body, some of which were as deep as several inches and curled outward like open mouths, having turned a dark red color. No wonder that when the Yang family's daughter-in-law saw her husband in this state for the first time, she was shocked into fainting.
But the most serious injury was to his right leg, where the giant clam had bitten down. The bone was visible, with several cracks in it, and it was clear that this leg was now useless.
Mo Qingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, such severe injuries yet still refusing to give up, bitterly battling several large fish, his willpower was indeed extremely tenacious.
She took out the only top-grade Rejuvenation Pill and fed it to the man, then opened a light yellow exquisite jade box and used her fingertips to apply a transparent yellow ointment-like substance to the wound on the man's right leg.
The woman in blue skirt had fainted from fright, but now she slowly came to and saw Mo Qingchen applying medicine to the man. She rushed over, her voice trembling as she asked: "Senior, my husband... is he still alive?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed up and grabbed the man's sleeve tightly, looking like she was about to collapse.
Mo Qingchen said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Of course I'm alive, otherwise why would I be taking medicine? Yang's family, since you're fine now, let your husband apply the remaining ointment."
The woman in blue skirt saw Mo Qingchen hand over a light yellow jade box, inside which was a crystal clear ointment. At first glance, it was obvious that it was top-quality Huang Long ointment. She hastily took it and gave Mo Qingchen a bow, saying: "Thank you, senior, for giving me the medicine." After speaking, she didn't wait for Mo Qingchen to respond and carefully began applying the ointment to the man.
Watching the woman in blue skirt carefully and gently applying medicine to the man, Mo Qingchen suddenly understood why she was so anxious, and thought that they must be a loving couple.
Mo Qingchen had also refined this box of Huang Long Gao in her spare time, because most of the time she was cultivating in the sect and didn't have many opportunities to use it, so she threw it into her personal storage bag, unexpectedly surviving because of it.
The yellow dragon ointment she personally refined had an efficacy far surpassing the good ones on the market. The shocking wounds on the man's body healed at a visible speed after applying it, and even the most severe wound on his leg looked much better.
The woman in blue skirt applied medicine to all the wounds on the man's body, looked at the remaining half of the yellow dragon ointment and said with some embarrassment: "Senior, I'm really sorry, used so much."
"It doesn't matter, don't worry too much. He's only severely injured on the outside, but his internal injuries have already stabilized. Now he's probably just exhausted and will wake up soon."
The woman in blue skirt had already seen the situation when she was applying medicine to the man, and knew that Mo Qingchen's words were not false. At this time, she regained some calmness and said to Mo Qingchen: "This time it is really thanks to the senior for saving us, the great kindness of the senior, my husband and I will never forget."
Handing over the Huang Long Gao in his hand, he said: "Senior, this is returned to you. We can't find such good Huang Long Gao anywhere else. However, I still have a few An Shen Zi Hua pearls at home, and I hope senior won't despise them."
Mo Qingchen didn't take the Huang Long Gao, but instead raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Yang's family, do you also understand Dan medicine?"
The woman in blue skirt didn't quite understand Mo Qingchen's meaning, but she said calmly: "My husband and I make a living by diving for pearls, especially my husband, because he often needs to dive into the sea and get injured. We can't afford other medicines, so we must keep this Huang Long Gao on hand. It's just that the Huang Long Gao we buy is not comparable to this box of yours."
Mo Qingchen saw her wincing at the mention of her husband's frequent injuries and couldn't help but feel a pang, even cultivators who were more focused on their cultivation still had such deep feelings for each other, yet knew nothing about the customs and people here. She continued to ask: "What was that Anshen Purple Jade Pearl you mentioned earlier?"
"The Anshen Zihua Pearl is a unique pearl found only in our Hai, it's entirely purple and has the power to calm one's mind." The woman in blue explained.
"Stabilize the mind?" Mo Qingchen was startled, as a cultivator, she naturally knew the benefits of this, and immediately thought of the two purple beads obtained in the large clamshell, and with a movement of her mind, they appeared in the palm of her hand "The Anxin Purple Hua Pearl you mentioned, is it this one?"
The woman in blue skirt saw the expression on her face and exclaimed, "This, this is a high-quality Anshen Purple Hua Pearl, senior, how do you have it?"
Having said this, I realized I had misspoken and nervously glanced at Mo Qingchen.
Mo Qingchen smiled faintly and said, "This is still thanks to you guys. I found it in the big clamshell that was holding your husband's leg when I went into the sea just now. But, why do I feel like this pearl doesn't have any calming effect on my mind?"
The woman in blue skirt heard that it was found in the shell of her husband, but she didn't show a regretful expression. She explained: "This Anxin Purple Hua Pearl wants to exert its effect, and needs a secret method to activate it. However, that secret method is only known by the royal family of Sheng Xin Island. We pearl pickers also sell the Anxin Purple Hua Pearls we picked to the royal family."
Mo Qingchen furrowed his brow and said: "The Wang family of Sacred Heart Island? The Yang family's, please trouble yourself to tell me about the situation on this side of the Clamshell Sea, I really don't know anything about it."
The woman in blue skirt then told the situation of the sea clearly.
The original place of Xuan Yin, is not what Mo Qingchu thought at first, the Eastern Ten Continents.
Arrived at the eastern edge of the Tianyuan continent, there is a shallow sea area. The shallow sea area has an archipelago tens of thousands of miles to the east. After passing this archipelago and continuing east for at least hundreds of thousands of miles, it will be the real land of the Ten Continents.
The sea area between Xizhou and Tianyuan Continent was called the "Interlayer Sea" by the residents who lived on this island for generations.
In the sea area within a hundred kilometers of the island, this Anshen Purple Hua Pearl will be produced, and it is not known by many cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent.
The largest island in the archipelago is called Sacred Heart Island, and it's entirely controlled by the Wang family of immortal cultivators. It's said that their ancestors were also the ones who discovered the effects of the Anxin Purple Jade Pearl, which they used with their family's secret techniques to become a treasured object for calming the mind and focusing one's spirit, something that even a thousand pieces of gold can't buy.
What's even more precious is that the calming effect of this pearl isn't just strong, but it works for cultivators from the Qi Refining stage to the Nascent Soul stage. This is especially true for high-level cultivators, where sometimes a demon in the heart can cause failure or success in an instant.
Mo Qingchen immediately became interested in the Anshen Purple Hua Pearl and the Wang family of Shengxin Island. As he listened to the blue-robed woman's words, a hint of doubt flashed through his mind, and he asked: "Yang's family, according to what you said, the people of Jiaxin Sea have lived here for generations, and there are not many foreign cultivators, but you know quite a few?"
It's not surprising that the royal family, the most powerful force here, knows about the Tianyuan Continent and the Eastern Ten Continents. A cultivator family can't survive and thrive without being in contact with some forces on the Tianyuan Continent, especially when they have something as valuable as the Anshen Purple Jade Pearl. But for a small Qi Refining Third Layer pearl picker like her to know about it is already quite surprising, so she couldn't help but think more about it.
Upon hearing Mo Qingchen's question, the woman in blue glanced at her expressionlessly and thought to herself that this senior seemed like a young girl but had a meticulous mind. After biting her lip, she finally said, "I don't dare to presume, but I'm not a native of this place."
"What?" Mo Qingchen was shocked, this was even more bizarre. With her cultivation, it was fundamentally impossible to cross the sea.
The woman in blue skirt hesitated and said: "I am a native of the Tianyuan Continent, and I came here with a Jigong cultivator many years ago..."
Seeing the woman in blue skirt with a difficult expression, she seemed unwilling to mention Mo Qingchen again. She said: "So that's how it is. Yang's family, I'm new here and don't know anything about this place. May I ask if I can stay at your house for a few days? Of course, if it's not convenient, you don't have to go out of your way..."
Mo Qingchen's words were cut off by the blue-robed woman: "Senior, what are you saying? You have saved my husband and me from a great calamity. Being able to rest at our humble abode is an honor we can hardly repay. It's just that our dwelling is simple and crude, I fear it may not be worthy of senior."
Mo Qingchen smiled, she proposed this request, also saw that the woman's behavior was not bad, and it was considered a good omen, besides, after all, she had a favor to them, first settled in her home, investigated clearly before going out, anyway stronger than acting rashly.
"Yang's family, I don't know if you've ever seen a stranger in your place of residence, would you feel surprised?" Mo Qingchen asked.
The woman in blue skirt replied, "This won't be the case. Not counting the largest island of Sacred Heart Island, there are hundreds of islands here, big and small. Most of these islands have people living on them. Those ordinary people will spend their entire lives on one island, but most cultivators will travel between the various islands. After all, each island has different products. However..."
"But what?" Mo Qingchen asked.
The woman in blue skirted gathered her courage and said: "However, it's rare to see someone as young as Senior yet with such high cultivation."
After listening to what the woman in blue said, Mo Qingchen felt a slight sense of relief in his heart.
It's probably due to the limitations of the spiritual veins and output here that it's rare to see foundation-building cultivators traveling outside. From this perspective, with her mid-foundation building identity, as long as she's more careful, at least she'll be safe and sound.
Mo Qingchu's sleeves fluttered as he gathered his breath, and his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. He smiled warmly at the woman in blue and said, "Sister Yang."
