“The power of a world deity has already been displayed on your bodies. It seems that this trip to the East Sea is quite necessary!” the second elder described.

Hearing this, Fike thought to himself, “If Eddie Moss is the original god, then I have to bring him along on this trip to the bottom of the East Sea!”

Fike was deep in thought when the second elder continued, “However, the trip to the East Sea is very dangerous. Countless sea monsters live in the East Sea. In my opinion, you need to bring more people with you.”

Fike thought about it and felt that what the second elder said made sense, so he said,

“That’s true. Do you have a suitable candidate in mind, Second Elder?”

The second elder said after listening, “I’ve lived in the palace for a long time, so I rarely interact with the disciples in the sect. You can ask Gu Wuya. He should have a suitable candidate in mind.”

Fike nodded and replied, “Okay. In that case, I’ll go back and ask Eldest Brother for his advice.”

“Good. Then you can go back now with the Deep Blue Herb. I hope you can succeed as soon as possible,” the second elder said.

After that, Fike bade farewell to the second elder and left the pagoda.

The second elder looked at Fick’s back as he left and said in silence, “World Deity, your long-cherished wish seems like it’s about to be fulfilled.

I hope you can bless these children to find the will you left behind as soon as possible.”

…

Fike returned to the East Immortal Residence and went to Gu Wuya’s room once again.

At the time, Gu Wuya and Eddie Moss were chatting in the room.

The two saw Fike upon his return and asked, “How is it? Did you get the Deep Blue Herb?”

Fike nodded and continued, “I’ve just obtained some information about the East Sea from Second Elder. Our trip will be dangerous. Second Elder asked us to find a few more powerful helpers. I wonder if Eldest Brother has a suitable candidate in mind?”

After listening, Gu Wuya replied, “About this candidate, I think there are a few disciples in the Eastern Immortal sect who are very suitable. How about this? Fike, you can go ahead and start refining water-repelling pills first. I will go contact anyone who’s interested in helping out. What do you think?”

After hearing that, Fike agreed immediately.

After that, Gu Wuya left the room and went to look for helpers who would go to the bottom of the Eastern Sea with him.

Meanwhile, Fike took out his magic furnace and made preparations on refining water-repelling pills.

Eddie Moss, who was sitting beside Fike, saw the process. So he asked casually, “Fike, are you using this thing to refine pills?”

Fike nodded and replied, “That’s right. Don’t judge it based on its size; it’s a magical furnace that can refine the rarest time-based pills!”

After that, Fike began to activate the flame in his palm, directing it at the magic furnace.

Fike took out the ingredients to refine the water-repelling pills from his backpack one by one.

Of course, this included the box of Deep Blue Herb.

After a series of performance-like refinement, several water-repelling pills flew out from the magic furnace.

From the side, Eddie Moss was very impressed by Fike’s skill when he saw this magical scene.

“The refinement is complete! This is the water-repelling pill!” Fike exclaimed.

Eddie Moss took the dark blue pill that Fike had given and asked, “Is this blue pill the water-repelling pill?”

Fike nodded.

“No side effects?” Eddie Moss continued to ask.

Fike smiled and said, “Wouldn’t you know after eating it?”

Knowing that Fike was teasing him, Eddie Moss continued to ask, “Where did you learn this alchemy skill from? Why haven’t I seen this alchemy skill of yours before?”

Fike thought for a moment and replied, “I once studied under a powerful alchemist for a period of time.”

“I see!” Eddie Moss exclaimed.

At that moment, Gu Wuya had returned.

He said to Fike and Eddie Moss, “I’ve already found the required people. How is it? Are the water-repelling pills refined?”

Fike nodded and handed a water-repelling pill to Gu Wuya.

After Gu Wuya received the pill, he placed it near his nose and sniffed it just like before.

Then he said, “It’s indeed magical. Just by the smell alone, I can feel the uniqueness of this water-repelling pill.”

“In this world, I’m afraid you’re the only one who can create such a pill!”

Fike smiled when he heard Gu Wuya’s compliment.

“Eldest Brother, you flatter me. I’m just learning the skills of others to refine it. There’s nothing amazing about it.”

Seeing Fike acting so modest, Gu Wuya did not continue.

“You two should go back and rest now. Since the water-repelling pills have been refined, we’ll set off tomorrow, how about that?”

Fike and Eddie Moss immediately expressed their agreement.

Then, the two returned to their rooms.

…

The next morning, Fike and Eddie Moss got up early and prepared to set off for the East Sea.

At the time, Gu Wuya was already standing outside their room.

When the two of them saw Gu Wuya waiting for them at the door, they planned to take the initiative to greet him.

But at this time, Gu Wuya spoke first.

“I forgot to tell you yesterday. Before we set off, we have to report to the four elders before we can leave the Eastern Immortal sect.”

“In that case, let’s go!”

Gu Wuya changed the topic and said, “I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”

Looking at Gu Wuya’s serious face, Fike asked, “Why did you say that?”

“Because I forgot one thing. It’s that with your current strength, I’m afraid the four elders wouldn’t agree to let you go down the mountain, let alone travelling to the Eastern Sea.”

After hearing this, Fike recalled what Xiao Zhao had told him yesterday.

“The Eastern Sea is where the powerful disciples of the East Immortal sect cultivate.”

Today was the second day that Fike and Edith Moss had joined the East Immortal sect.

The two of them hadn’t even learned the cultivation techniques of the East Immortal sect, so how could they obtain the consent of the four elders?

Fike thought for a while and then said to Gu Wuya, “Eldest Brother, how about this, we first go to the main hall to ask the opinions of the four elders before making a decision. What do you think?”

After hearing this, Gu Wuya replied, “Now we can only do this. I hope the four elders can agree.”

Thus, Fike, Edith Moss and Gu Wuya set off to the main hall of the East Immortal sect.

The three of them came to the main hall. The four elders still remained seated quietly in their original seats from yesterday.

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, the first elder spoke first.

“Are the three of you here for the matter of heading to the Eastern Sea?”

“That’s right! I hope that the four elders will grant our wish!” Fike said.

“But Fike and Eddie Moss only joined our Eastern Immortal sect yesterday, and they haven’t even grasped the most basic cultivation techniques. How can I be at ease when you are heading to the Eastern Sea?” The third and fourth elders said.

The first elder looked at the three people in the hall and suddenly smiled.

“How about this?”
