The heroine of Black Lotus just wants to ascend

Probably because he felt that the tentacles could not be untied, the main body hiding in the water pool was slightly exposed, and his eyes as big as lanterns were filled with a fascinating cold light.

Ru Xiyao: "It turns out to be an octopus!"

Seeing it retracting all its tentacles and then sinking into the water, Ru Xiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and was keenly aware that something was wrong.

"Lingling, is there something in this pool?"

Shu Ling: "Let me think about it. By the way, this pool has its own cave. There are many precious materials for refining weapons in it."

Ru Xiyao: "Is this the only one?"

Shu Ling: "This should be the only one. In the original book, you did not come here. Those weapon refining materials were finally obtained by a pair of masters and disciples."

Ru Xiyao: "The ninth-level spiritual beast is comparable to the monks in the tribulation stage. It seems that the master and disciple are not ordinary people."

Shu Ling: "I don't know about this, but doesn't Yaoyao also need those weapon refining materials?"

"Shall we go down and get it?"

Ru Xiyao: "I'm just practicing in the virtual stage."

Shu Ling: "It's okay. That octopus is about to die anyway. We just need to avoid it."

Ru Xiyao: "Are you about to die?"

Shu Ling: "Yes, its lifespan is over."

After thinking about it for a while, Ru Xiyao felt that she could go down to this pool. She did have very few weapon-refining materials, and they were all ordinary materials.

Thinking like this, Ru Xiyao flew towards the water pool.

Ling Qing: "Hey, you don't want to live anymore?!"

"Running in the wrong direction!!"

Ling Qing didn't know about Shu Ling's existence, and Ru Xiyao didn't want to talk to him about the past life.

So, she asked him as if it was true or false: "Don't you notice something is wrong?"

Ling Qing: "Is there something wrong with that octopus?"

Ru Xiyao: "The fog is not that thick anymore."

Ling Qing: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Ru Xiyao: "There is also a problem with that octopus. There is probably a treasure hidden in this pool. Let's go in and take a look."

Ling Qing: "You don't want your life?! It is a ninth-level spiritual beast, and its world is in the water."

Ru Xiyao: "I have a phoenix-patterned celestial bracelet. If something goes wrong, go in immediately. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Ling Qing: "It's really crazy. If I don't go, you don't go either."

Ru Xiyao: "When we entered the ruins, we came here just for the treasure. Now that we have met, it's hard not to even look at it, right?"

"Stop nagging, what a big deal!"

Ling Qing: "If something happens to you, I won't be able to escape. Just take it easy. If the situation is not good, just evacuate immediately, okay?"

Ru Xiyao: "I know."

Ling Qing sighed helplessly, this was really exciting, the baby in the pool must be a good thing!!

With Ling Qing's strong expectations, Ru Xiyao entered the pool.

At this moment, there is no thick fog rising from the surface of the pool. Although there is still thick fog around, as long as there is no supply, it will slowly return to normal.

Because of the spiritual shield around her body, Ru Xiyao did not get her clothes wet again by the pool water. Without the biting cold, she unexpectedly felt a little bit more interesting.

Slowly sinking into the pool, the light here was dim. Ru Xiyao scanned the surroundings, but did not find the octopus.

(The pool is not that big. Where did the octopus go?)

The sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind her head. Ru Xiyao quickly dodged and turned around to look over. It turned out that the octopus was hiding in a depression, and her surroundings were dim, so she didn't notice it.

Ninth-level octopus: "Middle stage of virtual refining?"

"I've already let you go, why do you want to provoke you again if you don't know whether to live or die?"

Ru Xiyao: "It's true, your deadline is approaching, I'm afraid you won't have long time, right?"

Level 9 Octopus: "So what if the deadline is approaching?"

"When you are in the middle stage of your cultivation, in front of me, you are like an ant that can be easily crushed to death."

Ru Xiyao: "I have a deal with you. Are you interested in hearing about it?"

Normally, he wouldn't pay any attention to things that were not being traded. If the ants were noisy, he would just shoot them to death.

But now he has become more interested. Perhaps because the deadline is approaching, the violence and murderous thoughts provoked by the ants are not so serious.

"tell me the story."

Ru Xiyao: "Do you want to die at the bottom of the pool like this?"

"Are you willing to die waiting like this?"

Ninth-level octopus: "So what if you don't give in?"

"In total, I have lived long enough, longer than many spiritual beasts. The long years have been too lonely."

"I won't kill you, just leave."

Ru Xiyao: "I haven't finalized the deal yet. It won't be too late to leave after a while."

Level 9 Octopus: "You almost died in my hands, why aren't you afraid of me?"

Ru Xiyao: "The mountain people have their own clever plans."

"Okay, we have digressed from the topic, let's talk about the transaction first."

Level 9 Octopus: "What kind of deal, just tell me directly."

Ru Xiyao: "Okay. Can this pool reach other places?"

Ninth-level octopus: "It seems so. There are a bunch of beautiful stones inside. I can't say they are stones. The material is not like it. It is very hard."

Listening to Octopus's description, Ru Xiyao was almost certain that the stones he mentioned were the precious weapon-refining materials mentioned by Shu Ling.

Ru Xiyao: "How about you take me to get those stones and I'll give you two life-prolonging fruits?"

Ninth-level octopus: "Life-prolonging fruit?"

Ru Xiyao: "That's right."

Level 9 Octopus: "So what if I live for another two years? I will still have to die waiting and lonely."

"I'll tell you the direction, you can go get it yourself."

Ru Xiyao: (This is different from what I imagined, but from the looks of it, this octopus is pretty easy to talk to.)

(Sure enough, when I am on the verge of death, I lose sight of everything.)

Ninth-level octopus: "You keep walking forward in the direction of the current. It won't take long to arrive."

Ru Xiyao: "You refused before I finished speaking?"

"Have you ever left this pool? Have you ever seen the outside world with your own eyes?"

"The deal is done, I can take you out."

Level 9 Octopus: "The outside world?"

Hearing what Ru Xiyao said, Octopus felt a little moved. If he could take a look at the outside world in the remaining time, it seemed to be a good choice.

Ru Xiyao: "Can you shrink? How long can you stay out of water?"

Ninth-level octopus: "I can shrink. I can stay out of water for up to a day. Over time, I will become weak."

Ru Xiyao: "Conclude an equal contract. When I get the things, I will take you out of here."

Level 9 Octopus: "Okay."

Because of this special transaction, one person and one fish formed an equal contract.

[Equal Contract]: Both parties have equal dignity. Contractors cannot harm each other. If the contract is terminated, either party can complete it alone without any loss.

Although the equality contract does not have much binding force on both parties, Ru Xiyao feels that she still has to take advantage of this contract.
