Immortality Cultivation

Chapter 322: Jade Wave Lake

The silver light shuttle turned into a streak of light, flying steadily over the northern part of the Flowing Cloud Plain.

Fang Hao sat cross-legged in the cabin, his expression calm; the exhaustion from just traversing the Heavenly Wind Canyon had basically recovered.

He consulted his map Jade Slip and confirmed that he had left the canyon area and was heading towards Jade Wave Lake.

According to the route plan, Jade Wave Lake was a relatively safe stop on the second route.

This place was controlled by the Jade Wave Sect; the lake was rich in Spiritual Qi, and several marketplaces had been built around it, where Cultivators often came to trade and rest.

If he could arrive smoothly, he could stop for a while to replenish some Medicinal Pills and Talismans before continuing his journey.

After flying for about half a day, a vast expanse of azure water gradually appeared on the horizon ahead.

The lake was boundless, its waters rippling and shimmering with a soft light under the sun.

A few islands were vaguely visible in the center of the lake, dotted with pavilions and towers, with Spiritual Qi swirling around them; clearly, there were Immortal Caves for Cultivators or Sect headquarters.

Around the lake shores, several large marketplaces were distributed, with Cultivators shuttling back and forth, making it quite lively.

"Jade Wave Lake, we have arrived."

Fang Hao controlled the silver light shuttle to slow down, hovering in mid-air a few miles from the lake shore, spreading his Divine Sense to carefully investigate the surrounding situation.

The Spiritual Qi here was indeed richer than in the Flowing Cloud Plain, and the air was filled with a faint water vapor, which was refreshing and pleasant.

On the lake surface, one could occasionally see a few spirit boats or flying shuttles passing by; clearly, Cultivator activity here was frequent.

The marketplaces on the shore also appeared orderly, with no signs of chaos.

"It seems this place is indeed relatively peaceful."

Fang Hao felt a little more at ease.

Having experienced the dangers of the Yin Sha Swamp and the Heavenly Wind Canyon, it was rare to encounter such a peaceful place.

He did not land in the marketplace immediately, but instead controlled the silver light shuttle to slowly fly towards the center of the lake.

According to the records in the Jade Slip, the largest marketplace in Jade Wave Lake was located on the central island, where the scale of trade was larger and information was more accessible; perhaps he could find out more news about the Myriad Laws Immortal City and the Myriad Laws Assembly.

Flying to the air above the center of the lake, Fang Hao put away the silver light shuttle and landed on a platform at the edge of the central island.

The buildings on the island were arranged in a well-ordered manner, the streets were wide, shops were lined up, and Cultivators were weaving back and forth, with cultivation levels ranging from Qi Refining to Golden Core; occasionally, he could even sense a few breaths of the Nascent Soul Stage, clearly showing that the Cultivators here were not weak.

Fang Hao restrained his aura, suppressing his cultivation to around the Middle Golden Core Stage, and walked slowly with the crowd.

He was not in a hurry to find an inn or shop, but first took a turn around the island to get a general understanding of the layout and situation of the marketplace.

This central island marketplace was indeed quite large in scale; besides the common Medicinal Pill shops, Magical Artifact shops, and Talisman shops, there were also shops specializing in selling water-attribute Materials, Spiritual Plants, and Demon Beast Materials, which was clearly related to the environment of Jade Wave Lake.

In addition, there were several teahouses and restaurants where many Cultivators were chatting and inquiring about news.

Fang Hao found a teahouse that looked quite elegant, sat down by a window on the second floor, ordered a pot of spirit tea, and while appearing to leisurely sip tea, he actually spread his Divine Sense to pay attention to the conversations of the surrounding Cultivators.

"Have you heard? The Third Elder of the Jade Wave Sect successfully refined a batch of Fourth Grade High Grade ’Jade Water Pill’ the day before yesterday. It is said that when the pill was formed, strange phenomena appeared in the sky above the central island, and Spiritual Qi gathered like a tide!"

"Fourth Grade High Grade Medicinal Pill? That is a treasure that even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators dream of! The Jade Wave Sect is famous for Alchemy; it truly lives up to its reputation."

"Indeed, it is said that the Jade Wave Sect will also send people to participate in this Myriad Laws Assembly, and perhaps they will bring out this Jade Water Pill as a trading item."

"The Myriad Laws Assembly... I heard that this assembly is unprecedented in scale, with even several top Sects from the Western Regions sending people to participate, and there might even be Soul Transformation Stage Seniors appearing to give lectures! If one could attend, it would certainly be an eye-opener!"

"It is a pity, the Myriad Laws Immortal City is too far from here. With our cultivation levels, it would take months to arrive. Moreover, the journey is dangerous; without enough strength and financial resources, one would not dare to go easily."

The conversations of the surrounding Cultivators reached his ears, and Fang Hao’s heart stirred slightly.

The Jade Wave Sect, the Myriad Laws Assembly... this information matched what he had inquired about before; it seemed that this place was indeed well-informed.

He listened for a while longer, and after confirming that there was no more useful information, he got up to pay the bill and prepared to go to the marketplace to buy some Medicinal Pills and Talismans.

After taking a turn around the marketplace, Fang Hao purchased a few bottles of Medicinal Pills for restoring spiritual power and nourishing the Divine Soul in a relatively large Medicinal Pill shop, and replenished some defensive and escape Talismans in a Talisman shop.

Although there were plenty of resources in Mo Yunhe’s storage ring, it never hurt to be better prepared.

After doing all this, Fang Hao found an inn, asked for a high-class room, set up a Restriction, and began to adjust his breathing.

He planned to rest here for a day and continue his journey tomorrow.

The next morning, Fang Hao left the inn, prepared to continue his journey.

He came to a teleportation array at the edge of the marketplace; according to the records in the Jade Slip, there was a small teleportation array here that could teleport to the opposite shore of Jade Wave Lake, which could save several days of travel.

Several Cultivators were already queuing in front of the teleportation array, and Fang Hao stood at the back, waiting patiently.

A moment later, it was Fang Hao’s turn; he paid the teleportation fee and stepped into the teleportation array.

"Hum—!"

The light of the teleportation array lit up, and spatial fluctuations arrived.

Fang Hao only felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, he had appeared in another teleportation array.

"The opposite shore of Jade Wave Lake, we have arrived."

Fang Hao walked out of the teleportation array and swept his Divine Sense around.

This place was also a small marketplace, much smaller in scale than the central island, but there were still many Cultivators coming and going.

He did not stay any longer, summoned the silver light shuttle, turned into a streak of silver light, and continued his journey towards the northwest.

According to the route, he next needed to traverse an area called the "Sunset Cloud Mountain Range", and then cross the "Golden Sand River", after which he would enter the hinterland of the Western Regions, and the Myriad Laws Immortal City would not be far away.

The silver light shuttle cut through the sky and soon disappeared into the distant horizon.
