Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 492: Chapter 15: Primordial Water Heavenly Lake! Li Yao has arrived _2

Under the Heavenly Lake of Primordial Water, there must be a powerful Spirit Vein.

“What is that floating light in the sky?”

At this time, Wang Li Yao had also recovered from her shock. She pointed to the floating light in the sky and asked.

“Oh, that is the Water Curtain Sky.” Lu Xianghui explained, “This is the guardian formation of the Tian Lake School. It is daytime now, so it’s not very clear. However, at night, the floating lights in the sky flow like the Milky Way. It is ten times more beautiful than it is now.”

“I see.”

Wang Li Yao understood.

As they spoke, they had already ridden the Spirit Cows to the lakeside.

Not far from the lakeside, there was a ferry dock. A medium-sized ferry boat was docked at the pier. Several young people wearing the disciple uniforms of the Tian Lake School were in line to register and board the boat.

“Even though the entire Mountain of Primordial Water belongs to the Tian Lake School, our usual cultivation and study spots are actually located on an island in the middle of the lake. The palace of our Master of Primordial Water is also on this Lake Heart Island.”

Lu Xianghui tied the two Spirit Cows to the animal railings on the shore and led Wang Li Yao towards the lake. As they walked, he explained.

“Soon we will take the ferry boat over. Once we reach the island, I will introduce you to it. Trust me, you will not regret joining the Tian Lake School.”

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the ferry.

Lu Xianghui registered his identity with familiarity, and let Wang Li Yao show her pass token to the disciples in charge. He then led her onto the ferry and sat near the ship’s side.

This ferry was not much different from the ones in Peace River. After Wang Li Yao had taken her seat, she turned her attention back to the lake outside.

Soon, the ferry set off.

Halfway through, Wang Li Yao’s gaze suddenly fell on the lake: “Hmm? What is that?”

On the lake, there were many large and small black dots swimming. Their shape and silhouette were incredibly similar to the Primordial Water Spirit Tortoise her family kept. This made her feel both familiar and comforted.

Besides, she noticed that there were even people standing on top of two tortoises. It appeared they were using them as mounts.

“Oh, you mean the Primordial Water Spirit Turtles~” Lu Xianghui peered out and instantly understood, “Our Heavenly Lake of Primordial Water is home to a large group of Primordial Water Spirit Turtles. Many of our seniors use these turtles as mounts. You’ll get used to seeing this.”

Wang Li Yao was a bit surprised: “But there are so many. There must be at least a hundred here.”

It was not surprising that the Academic Palace kept Spirit Beasts, but the number of Primordial Water Spirit Turtles was truly astonishing.

“Sister disciple might not know~” Lu Xianghui answered with a proud smile, “A Level Seven Divine Spirit Tortoise lives in our Heavenly Lake of Primordial Water. These turtles are its clansmen and descendants. Because of the protection of the Old Turtle, these Spirit Turtles practically rule the lake, and even the disciples of the Academic Palace don’t dare to provoke them easily.”

“However, there are many among these Spirit Turtles that are quite friendly. Occasionally, some disciples get lucky or demonstrate exceptional ability and win the favor of a Spirit Turtle, allowing them to take one as their mount.” He pointed at the two tortoises with people on their backs floating in the lake, “Both of them are Core Disciples of our Tian Lake School. Numerous disciples in the Academic Palace are envious of them~”

“I see.”

Wang Li Yao realized and felt a sense of amazement.

Her family at Wang’s kept one Primordial Water Spirit Turtle, which had already attracted the envy of many prominent families. She didn’t expect that the Heavenly Lake of Primordial Water harbored such a large group.

A few younger disciples were sitting next to them. Hearing their conversation, they couldn’t help but laugh.

“Little sister, is this your first time here?” one of the young men laughed, “The Old Turtle in this lake is the spiritual pet of our Master. It enjoys a noble status among us. There are several among its offspring who are very talented. It’s said that in the future, they may become Level Six or even Level Seven Spirit Beasts~”

At this, another young disciple added: “If you’re interested, little sister, you could try your luck. Maybe one of the Spirit Turtles will take a liking to you~”

As they were talking.

Suddenly.

A commotion erupted from the lake ahead.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Block it! Don’t let it escape!”

“To the right! Block its way to the right!”

“Watch out for the water arrow!”

Wang Liyao turned her head towards the sound, and saw a boat of almost the same size as theirs floating on the lake to the left. On the deck, a few young people dressed in the clothes of the Tian Lake School’s disciples were surrounding a circle, rolling up their sleeves, using tools, trying to capture a gigantic pearl clam that was frantically trying to escape.

She found it strange and couldn’t help asking curiously, “What are they doing?”

“Oh. That’s also a specialty of our Tianhe Lake, the Primordial Water Pearl Clam.” Lu Xianghui explained, “Those senior brothers are pearl harvesting. The pearls produced by the Primordial Water Pearl Clam are Grade Four spirit materials. They can not only be used for medicine, but their crafted ornaments can also nourish the skin improving skin quality, making it quite popular among female cultivators.”

“You can take pearl harvesting tasks from the Thousand Autumn Hall at the academy. The rewards in study points for completing the tasks are quite generous.” The young man on the side looked envious. “However, only disciples in the Spirit Platform Realm can take such tasks. Our cultivation base isn’t enough, even if we wanted to take them, we couldn’t.”@@novelbin@@

“Oh.”

Wang Liyao suddenly realized.

While they were talking, the senior brothers on the boat finally managed to subdue the Primordial Water Pearl Clam, which was more than half the height of a person. They fixed it on a frame on the deck.

Then, one of the senior brothers took out a green spirit grass. Using some unknown method, he managed to make it open its shell and crawled in to remove a few fist-sized multicolored pearls from the shell.

Occasionally, they could even hear fragments of conversations coming from the boat.

“Don’t forget to plant a new pearl…”

“Just one more clam to complete the task…”

“Hurry up, you never know…”

Wang Liyao watched with great interest, finding it all exceedingly fascinating.

The academy really was different from home~

Throughout the journey, what she observed and learned at the academy varied greatly from the outside world. Here, it was as if she was in a separate world with its own set of rules.

No wonder her father insisted on sending her to the academy, even saying “Without stepping out to see the world, one cannot comprehend the vastness of the universe.” There really was some truth to his words.

Apart from cultivation, impliedly the academy had a lot more to teach her.

…

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the Primordial Water Island.

Inside the Purple Abode Academy, all the masters who did not go out gathered in one place.

“Master Changchun, how is disciple Yu Hang’s injury?” A man in a light blue robe, like a warm and gentle gentleman, spoke to Master Changchun, who just came out from the secret room.

The Primordial Water School was also skilled at treatment, but this time his beloved disciple, Yu Hang, was severely injured. His Qi Sea Mysterious Nucleus was nearly broken, and the Xuan Yin Poison had almost spread to his five viscera. If it weren’t for his high cultivation base and the Yuan nurturing potion propping him up, Yu Hang might not have survived until he returned home.

Therefore, the master of Primordial Water had placed all his hopes on Master Changchun.

Master Changchun, with his baby-like mellow face, looked a bit pale and exhausted: “It’s fortunate that his mastery of the ‘True Water Verses’ is profound. For now, his injuries are just about stable. However, the damage to the Yuan Water Mysterious Nucleus in his Qi Sea is too severe, requiring long-term use of Yuan Water Essence to gradually heal.”

“The most troublesome thing is the Xuan Yin Poison. The poison is several times more virulent and dangerous than ordinary Yin poisons. Now it has penetrated his five internal organs and all the meridians in his body. If the poison isn’t removed within a day, I’m afraid his condition will not improve. He needs to take a Fifth Grade Fire System Pill – the Xuan Yang Fierce Fire Pill over a long period, gradually neutralize and remove the Xuan Yin Poison, and use the Fifth Grade Yuan Nurturing Pill to nurture the damaged organs and meridians.”

“However, this method is going to consume a lot of resources. It might take eight to ten years for full recovery.”

The master of Primordial Water’s tightly knotted brows relaxed a bit: “Yu Hang was injured on the extraterritorial battlefield. Both Lingyun Holy Land and Great Qian Land can’t ignore this. Adding the additional subsidies from our academy, we can meet the resource consumption.”

The rest of the masters quietly nodded in agreement. They couldn’t just leave the disciples who were fighting out there for the country and all humanity to fend for themselves after they got injured, could they?

Slowly say that the master of Primordial Water wouldn’t agree, they wouldn’t agree either, who didn’t have a direct disciple carrying out tasks on the extraterritorial battlefield?
