Guixu Immortal Kingdom

Chapter 119 Gathering Wool

"If we re-enter the oasis without knowing the situation, people will likely die again, and many more will die."

Lin Jiu's face showed pity, and he truly understood that in the Ruins of Return, the struggle for a place of life was worth any price, all for the sake of stability and a foothold.

They also realized how lucky they were to be able to board Ji Tianhao's ship.

"Sometimes, death is not scary; what is scary is not seeing hope. But now, hope is right in front of them, and they would be willing to give their lives for it. No one would back down."

Ji Tianhao said calmly.

He won't try to dissuade him, nor will he offer any advice.

Let go of the need to help others and respect the fate of others.

This is something you must learn within the Ruins of Return.

"So what should we do now? Should we leave?"

Hu Youni asked. Only then did she gently loosen her arms from her chest.

Ji Tianhao glanced at it briefly, feeling a slight drop as his arm left the soft embrace. Fortunately, he quickly recovered and said, "No rush. Although the oasis has problems, the lakes and water resources inside are genuine. I plan to draw some water from the lakes and refine it into water essence. I don't know how long it will be before we encounter such abundant water resources again."

"That's good, but we're already outside the oasis. Can we still pump the lake water up?"

Qi Lin's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in praise.

In the Ruins of Guixu, water is extremely precious, and encountering such wild water resources is a rare treat. The water tower is currently full, so there won't be a water shortage for the time being. Before leaving, it's perfectly reasonable to plunder this wild lake one last time. In the Ruins of Guixu, resources are always seized without exception; not a single resource is wasted. Not to mention, refining it into the essence of water would allow everyone to enjoy it.

“The oasis is not large, and the lake is not too far from us. It is still within my capabilities, and I can just draw water from the lake.”

After estimating the distance, Ji Tianhao said with certainty.

Without hesitation, in a flash, he aimed directly at the lake and reached out. In an instant, an invisible force forcibly pulled the lake water out, hurtling towards the Dragon Lord, creating an arc-shaped water bridge in mid-air. A continuous stream of water was drawn in, and as it approached Baxia's location, it vanished. Some water was first sent into the black hole, and then some was stored in the singularity space.

Once the water in the water tower runs out, it can be replenished with the stored lake water.

The lake was neither small nor shallow, and its water was indeed plentiful. However, Ji Tianhao's method of directly storing the water and sending it into the black hole to refine it into water essence pushed the extraction of the lake water to its limit, causing the lake surface to drop by a layer at a visible speed.

Wow! !

Almost suddenly, a column of water shot out from the lake, like a giant tentacle, lashing out at Baxia with the force of a water giant launching an attack.

"go back!!"

Ji Tianhao was shocked when he saw it, and immediately pointed at the huge tentacle.

An invisible repulsive force erupted, striking the tentacle and attempting to push it away. A massive repulsive force, weighing over six thousand pounds, instantly struck the tentacle. Unfortunately, this force did not truly hinder the tentacle; it merely paused briefly in mid-air before breaking through the barrier and forcefully lashing down.

It didn't land on the building; a huge tortoise-shell shield blocked the tentacles.

The light on the entire tortoise shell dimmed at an alarming speed at that moment.

The Dragon King hurriedly mobilized the surrounding earth vein power, continuously injecting it into the tortoise shell, managing to withstand the bombardment of the tentacle just when it was on the verge of breaking.

"Oh my, it's angry."

"We can't afford to mess with them, so we'll leave immediately."

Ji Tianhao glanced at the tentacle that had lost its power, and without wasting any time, he activated his gravity magic, grabbed the tentacle, and tore it off in two. Then, without hesitation, he sent it into the black hole.

Bang bang bang! !

Over here, the Dragon King had already started running forward at full speed, seemingly heading far away from the oasis.

This situation immediately caused the lake water in the oasis to churn violently. Water columns even erupted, attempting to continue the attack, only to find that the Dragon Lord had already quickly departed. They could only roar in anger, transforming into giant, churning waves in the lake.

This scene left the wandering camps around the oasis completely dumbfounded.

First, they saw Ji Tianhao directly drawing water from the lake, a sight that was already astonishing, and they were shocked by his ability to absorb water from a distance. Then they saw the attack coming from the lake. The tentacle, which was formed from water, unleashed such terrifying power. Putting themselves in his shoes, they wondered if they would perish on the spot if they were under the attack. The attack seemed to have directly surpassed the category of Black Iron level.

In this situation, Baxia Dragon Lord actually withstood it, which greatly shocked them.

So much so that when they witnessed Ji Tianhao and the others leaving, no one had time to react. "Father, this traveling merchant is too audacious! He knew there was something wrong with the oasis, yet he still dared to pump water from the lake. If he hadn't been able to withstand that, he would have been doomed."

Ayunna said in shock.

"For merchants, they are willing to take great risks for even the smallest profit. Moreover, they really did drain the lake water, which is the source of life in the Ruins of Return, a vital resource for the survival of countless people."

Abater said calmly, showing that he could understand the action very well.

"What should we do? Should we leave? This oasis is too dangerous."

Ayunna looked at the oasis with apprehension.

"Don't rush. The others haven't left either. They all have their eyes on the oasis. The life inside is powerful, but that doesn't mean they can't communicate with it. This is the land of fire and life, its value is too high. Nobody is ignoring it. Let's see how things go first."

Abater had no intention of leaving immediately.

In fact, none of these nomadic camps surrounding the oasis had any intention of leaving.

There is still a hope for the oasis.

They would never give up until all hope was shattered. They had personally experienced how difficult it was to find an unclaimed place to start a fire in the Ruins of Return, especially after encountering the Golden Sand Storm, where the feeling of life hanging by a thread only deepened their obsession.

"Good heavens, Lao Ji, even the guys in the oasis couldn't resist taking advantage of this. I was really worried that the Dragon Lord wouldn't be able to withstand that attack, but thankfully, the Dragon Lord is powerful enough."

Qi Lin said with a lingering fear.

"If you want to get something for nothing, you have to be prepared to deal with the risks. However, the Oasis matter has nothing to do with us, and we may not meet again in the future. Being able to get some water resources from it is still a great gain, and the trip will not be in vain."

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

The water resources obtained this time are sufficient to meet the needs for a long period of time.

"It's a pity that we didn't have time to complete a new round of transactions with Dr. Lizard, otherwise, we would have had the opportunity to obtain another batch of regeneration potions."

Su Yue was still somewhat regretful about this. This regeneration potion was a valuable item, and if she missed it this time, she didn't know if she would have another chance to get it.

"To gain it is my fortune, to lose it is my fate. This world is full of surprises and variables; things are never as we wish. If we don't have it, we don't have it, but that doesn't mean we won't have the opportunity to acquire similar treasures. Besides, the Ruins of Return are full of rare and precious treasures. There may be opportunities in the future."

Ji Tianhao said calmly.

Regarding gains and losses, I remain quite composed. In trade, one must be prepared to take a detached view of gains and losses. Not everything desirable can be obtained without question.

His true foundation always lies in the essence of heaven and earth. This unique resource ensures his absolute competitiveness. Few others possess it, but none can refine it from the soil and sand like he does.

"By the way, this transaction also included a Tier 1 cultivation technique called 'Hundred Beast King Fist'. This technique can cover almost all cultivation sequences. If needed, we can all cultivate this technique. It's a benefit for the whole team, and I'm also planning to switch to cultivating this technique."

Ji Tianhao then brought up another matter.

"Hehe, Lao Ji, this is really kind of you. I've been wanting to throw away the cultivation method I used before. The cultivation speed is too slow. Even now, I still feel that I'm a little short of mastering the cultivation method and condensing the snake pattern. If I switch to a low-level cultivation method, I will definitely be able to break through quickly, condense the snake pattern, and become a formal cultivator."

Qi Lin expressed his interest without hesitation.

If there are Earth-rank cultivation techniques available, who would still bother with the previous Yellow-rank or Profound-rank techniques? That would be pure idiocy.

"That's great! This way, even if everyone finishes cultivating one sequence, they can cultivate another sequence without switching techniques, and the highest they can cultivate is the Dragon Pattern. This is fantastic!"

Hu Youni smiled, revealing genuine joy.

Cultivation techniques might not be important to ordinary people because they lack the resources, but for those with resources, they are crucial because they can be quickly converted into personal strength. This statement applies to their current situation.

Su Yue also seemed very happy.

Having only been in Guixu for a short time, he was already able to cultivate Earth-rank techniques. By any measure, that far surpassed that of ordinary people. No one said they didn't want it, not even Lin Jiu. He had Maoshan techniques, but he didn't mind studying the orthodox Guixu techniques to learn from their strengths and make up for his weaknesses. There was nothing he couldn't do.

Here, we once again witnessed the magnanimity displayed by Ji Tianhao.

They are truly generous to their team members.
