Chapter 146

Achieving the Nascent Soul stage was the right path. Even with a powerful peak Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it couldnt compare to defeating opponents as a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was better to prevail over the strong with strength rather than relying on being slightly stronger at the Nascent Soul stage. Dont forget about the Sunflower Water Pearls and the spiritual items, the mermaid reminded him before he left.

She did not intend to return to her word, and Li Su wouldnt forget her generosity. He promptly selected half of the Sunflower Water Pearls and proceeded to the location filled with spiritual plants, harvesting all the fruits from the plants. Some of these spiritual plants were unique, unlike spiritual herbs that withered once picked; some were fruit-bearing, and others needed to be uprooted entirely.

Li Su only picked the fruits for the fruit-bearing ones, leaving the main plants intact. Since Li Su was unfamiliar with underwater spiritual plants, he took half of each variety to be safe. With everything sorted, Li Su removed the protective formation around Liu Xinyue. She was still unconscious.

Li Su gently picked up Liu Xinyue, preparing to leave. Whats your name? She asked.

Li Su, He replied.

To some extent, it was like entrusting her life to him. Despite her thorough preparations, she never anticipated that things would still go wrong. She had thought she would be stuck there or seriously injured at the very least. However, she never imagined that Li Su would take the risk to come down and rescue her.

How could Liu Xinyue not be touched by this? Despite having lived for over a thousand years, most of her time had been devoted to cultivation. As the younger sister, she never had to worry about many things and still retained a young girls heart. Thank you, Li Su, she said with gratitude. Her heart was deeply moved, and she didnt address him as Fellow Taoist this time.

Calling Li Su by his name indicated a closer connection. Referring to someone as Fellow Taoist still maintained some distance. Beyond feeling thankful, Liu Xinyue had developed a sense of admiration for Li Su. This admiration had grown after several encounters with him, but it wasnt particularly pronounced until now.

Under the influence of her emotions, Liu Xinyues admiration for Li Su had become quite evident. Wasnt it very dangerous down there? It must have been quite challenging for you to go down, Liu Xinyue expressed her concern for Li Su.

In her understanding, both she and Li Su were at the Fourth Layer of the Nascent Soul stage, and going underwater posed some risks, especially for her, given her water-element cultivation. With Li Su going down, wasnt it even riskier? It wasnt too bad.
