The three people divided the directions for their tasks; Jiang Xiaoyue was on the sand, where clam-like aquatic demon beasts lived in the soil;

Xu Ni was responsible for the coral reefs;

Immortal was in the water plants.

The water plants were tall and dense, and she parted them with her hands, walking inside as if she had entered a Lu Wei marsh.

Countless small fish and shrimp were startled, quickly hiding away from this huge creature.

Immortal recalled the "Monster Beast Atlas of Moon Lake," which catalogued 500 types of monsters, while advancing through the water plants.

She occasionally surfaced to the top of the swaying aquatic vegetation to check positions with the other two, ensuring safety.

Clearing the swaying water plants, a Silver Ring Water Snake raised its head, staring eye to eye with her.

Immortal held her breath.

She cautiously observed the snake ahead.

There was a film over its nostrils to prevent lake water from entering, its body was flat and its tail shaped like an oar.

"The Monster Beast Atlas of Moon Lake" recorded: Silver Ring Snake, highly venomous, its lungs almost occupy the entire body, the snake skin is indestructible, can be refined into vestment robes, its venomous fangs can be crafted into flying needles.

Swish!

The Silver Ring Water Snake flicked its tail, striking like silver lightning.

Immortal raised her hand to block, a transparent water-blue shield descended like a city gate.

At the same time, she shouted: "Silver Ring Snake! Quick, come!"

"Whoosh!" Amid the sudden sound of bubbles, Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni rapidly approached.

The Silver Ring Snake missed its hit and immediately turned to flee, burrowing into the layered water plants.

Immortal's hand already reached into her sleeve, grasping a Water Bomb Talisman, and seeing only the snake's tail left, hurriedly unleashed the talisman.

The talisman quickly got wet in the water, forming five water bombs.

"Go!"

Boom!

The water plants exploded open, debris dancing wildly, and Immortal herself was caught in the blast, instinctively putting up both hands in defense.

Jiang Xiaoyue had already rushed close, seeing a silver gleam rolling in the water after being blasted by the water bombs, she struck a shoulder pole.

"The God said the shoulder pole has fourteen thousand and six hundred uses," she practiced for a month but mastered only one move.

Bones and tendons relaxed, mana spiral expanding.

Bang!

With a thunderous sound, the white bubbles spread, and the Silver Ring Snake was knocked unconscious, falling like a rope towards the water plants.

Jiang Xiaoyue picked it up with her shoulder pole.

Xu Ni took out an item from her pouch, shook it forcefully, and it spread open like a fish trap.

"Xiaoyue!" She opened the fish trap.

Jiang Xiaoyue swung, the Silver Ring Snake fell into the fish trap, and Xu Ni immediately closed the entrance.

"Two Spirit Stones acquired!" Xu Ni exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Xiaoyue also smiled, she turned to Immortal: "Xian'er, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, pfft!" Immortal spat out the grass in her mouth.

"Xian'er, good job!" Xu Ni praised.

"Just luck." Immortal replied modestly.

"Great!" Jiang Xiaoyue tightened her shoulder pole, "Let's continue and aim to earn a fortune!"

Seeing the two filled with enthusiasm, preparing to leave and keep searching, Immortal hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue, Nizi, Silver Ring Snakes are social creatures, there can be twenty to thirty of them here, let's search the water plants together."

"Twenty to thirty? Isn't that a goldmine!" Xu Ni's eyes sparkled.

Jiang Xiaoyue curiously asked: "Xian'er, how do you know?"

"It's written in the book."

"You read books? You actually have money to read books?" Xu Ni was stunned, as if meeting Immortal for the first time.

"I, I love reading books the most!" Immortal puffed out her rounded, curvy chest.

Li Changzhou chuckled, heard only by Immortal, which made her face slightly warm.

How could one not read books?

Cultivators usually bury themselves in cultivation, but when venturing out, suddenly learned everything? Even the most obscure curios can be discussed thoroughly?

Jiang Xiaoyue pondered: "The poison of the Silver Ring Snake is quite potent, and there are many of them, better safe than sorry, let's forget it."

"Ah..." Xu Ni was disappointed but didn't object.

Immortal glanced at the pit she blasted into the grass and suggested: "Why don't we throw talismans outside to scare the snakes out?"

Without waiting for them to speak, she raised her hand, pulling up her sleeve: "Talismans, plenty to use."

Her delicate arm was thickly wrapped with a circle of talismans, like having put on two rolls of toilet paper.

Jiang Xiaoyue already knew, showed no reaction, while Xu Ni was shocked again, not only having money for books but also possessing so many talismans—

"...Xian'er, do you mind that I don't have a sparrow?"

"Sparrow?" Immortal asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xiaoyue pinched Xu Ni hard, Xu Ni screamed in pain, striking a pose in the water that even a monster found strange.

"Hurry up!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

Xu Ni was in charge of using the Water Bomb Skill, while holding a fish basket;

Xian'er used the Shield Skill—Shield Wall Skill might be a more appropriate name;

Jiang Xiaoyue wielded a carrying pole.

One bombed away, one defended, and one was responsible for knocking out.

The three divided their tasks, and started to sweep through the area of water plants.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

...

An hour later, three people looking like aquatic plants emerged.

Xu Ni, with a piece of grass stuck in her hair, was inhaling a new batch of fish suction grass and laughed heartily while holding the fish basket:

"We struck rich, we struck rich! Six big snakes, each worth two Spirit Stones, twelve in total! Fourteen little snakes, each worth half, seven in total! Girls, we've already pocketed nineteen Spirit Stones!"

Nineteen Spirit Stones!

Farming day and night for a quarter, after taxes, only sells for a few Crystals worth of Spirit Stones, but two hours of fishing is equivalent to income for three to four years!

If converted to silver, it's a full 1.9 million taels!

"Keep going!" Jiang Xiaoyue was also very excited, "Let's aim for twenty Spirit Stones each, and we stop immediately!"

"Okay!"

But after that, the three weren't as lucky, they found many precious fish and shrimp, and pearls, but nothing that cultivators use.

They picked and chose, only keeping a few beads to exchange for gold and silver, to support their daily meals.

Xian'er circled around a coral cluster, many small fish hid in the coral reef as if humans hid in cities, looking at Xian'er as if gazing at a giant beast coming out of the sea.

"Huh, what's that?" Xu Ni suddenly said.

Xian'er turned her head in response to the sound, only to see a distant dark cloud, with Spiritual Power shining in it, looking like a Thunder Cloud.

"It's a bow-tailed fish school!" Jiang Xiaoyue exclaimed.

She didn't know about silver ring snake colonies, but some common, famous monsters she had been familiar with since childhood.

"Are you sure it's bow-tailed fish?" Xu Ni asked in shock.

Xian'er also swallowed her saliva.

"Moon Lake's 500 Kinds of Lower-Class Monster Beast Atlas": Bow-tail Fish, large in number, appears in schools, schools several hundred meters wide, capable of blotting out the sky and sun, consuming them beautifies one's appearance.

Fish bones are the primary ingredient of First Rank Beauty Pill, auxiliary ingredient of Second Rank Beauty Pill.

Bow-tail Fish, one Spirit Stone per pound.

"Charge!" Xu Ni spread her arms and, with a kick of her legs, was about to frog swim over.

Jiang Xiaoyue pulled her back: "Someone already found it, it's very dangerous for us to go over."

"It's okay, the school is so large, we'll sneak to a corner, ahem, grab a few hundred pounds and leave!" Xu Ni said.

Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated.

"Can you bear not to do it?" Xu Ni urged anxiously.

Jiang Xiaoyue gritted her teeth: "Alright, but when I say go, we must go."

"It's all up to you!"

The three quickly rushed over.

The closer they swam, the larger the dark cloud became, and when they got close, it was indeed as wide as several hundred meters as described in the books!

One pound sells for a Spirit Stone, how much money is that!

Amidst the fish school, there were many cultivators, all entering as if into a Golden Mountain, their expressions frantic.

"Spirit Stones! Spirit Stones!" Xu Ni went mad, picked up the fish basket, and started scooping, one scoop netted a bunch.

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xian'er's hearts thumped, just this one scoop, probably ten pounds, which equals ten Spirit Stones!

Without any effort, even just opening the fish basket, countless Bow-tail Fish rushed in.

"Why did I only prepare one fish basket!" The fish basket was quickly filled.

"Ni, let's go!" Apart from initial shock and excitement, Jiang Xiaoyue had been on edge all along.

Xu Ni hadn't come back, Jiang Xiaoyue looked up to see Xu Ni actually eating with her mouth!

"Beauty! Beauty! Beauty!" Xu Ni chanted, swallowing Bow-tail Fish into her stomach.

"Let's go!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

Only then did Xu Ni reluctantly emerge from the fish school, her stomach already round.

The three swiftly retreated, just as they swam a bit further, five figures suddenly shot out from the coral cluster below.

"Leave the fish basket!"

Magic Artifacts floated, Talismans clutched in their hands, the five wore fierce expressions, their killing intent intense.

The three little ones' faces changed drastically, it was their first time encountering such a situation.

[Good, good, good! Kill and plunder! Kill and plunder!] Li Changzhou got excited.
