How many times does a normal person have to die in the world of cultivation?

After thinking for a while, Li Xiaoxiao nodded and followed Zhao Xuan into the room. The room was elegantly decorated and filled with a faint scent of incense.

Zhao Xuan closed the door, turned around and bowed deeply to Li Xiaoxiao: "I will always remember the kindness of Daoist Li in saving me.

"To be honest, this voyage to search for treasures is extremely dangerous, and Fellow Daoist Li is very capable. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to come with me for assistance." Li Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow: "Why did you choose me?" Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "In the battle just now, Fellow Daoist Li remained calm in the face of danger and his magic was powerful. I naturally hope to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a strong man.

"Moreover, Zhao has a feeling that traveling with Fellow Daoist Li will definitely yield some gains."

Li Xiaoxiao weighed the pros and cons in her mind. She was also a person who traveled around to gain experience and seek opportunities.

"I wonder what this treasure is?"

Zhao Xuan's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and said, "The legendary mermaid tears are said to increase one's strength by a hundred years, and can also heal all injuries and illnesses."

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked. If it could really improve one's martial arts skills by a hundred years, then the mermaid's tears would indeed be a rare treasure in the world.

Li Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I will go with you."

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed: "Thank you very much for your help, Brother Li. I will definitely give you an extra reward when the time comes."

Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.

The two looked at each other and hurried out of the room to check.

On the deck, everyone was surrounding a wet young man with his eyes closed, as if he was unconscious.

Li Xiaoxiao walked closer and cast a spell to investigate, and found that the boy's breath was weak but there was a strange power fluctuation.

Zhao Xuan frowned: "Where did this young man come from?"

Someone nearby replied: "He suddenly appeared at the bow just now. I don't know what happened to him."

Li Xiaoxiao stood aside in silence.

Zhao Xuan thought it over again and again, and finally did not throw him back into the sea.

Just have someone take the boy to an empty room and take care of him.

At night, Li Xiaoxiao came alone to check on the boy's condition. As soon as he stepped into the room, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, with a faint blue light flashing in his eyes. He smiled at Li Xiaoxiao strangely but did not speak.

When Li Xiaoxiao saw him wake up, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you floating in the sea?"

The young man did not answer her question, but instead said to himself: "You want to find the Mermaid's Tears, but do you know the huge danger hidden behind it?"

Li Xiaoxiao was startled and was about to ask a question, but the boy closed his eyes again, as if it was just an illusion.

Li Xiaoxiao was full of doubts and reached out to wake the boy up and ask again. At this time, Zhao Xuan pushed open the door. It was unknown how long he had been eavesdropping.

Zhao Xuan saw that Li Xiaoxiao was also very surprised. Li Xiaoxiao remained expressionless and smiled at him.

"Friend Li is very interested in him?"

"Well, a little bit."

Zhao Xuan was just joking just now, but when he saw that Li Xiaoxiao was not joking, the smile in his eyes diminished a bit.

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, the boy woke up again.

Seeing the boy wake up, Zhao Xuan asked anxiously: "Boy, what did you mean by what you just said?

"What danger is behind the Mermaid's Tears?" The young man opened his eyes, sat up, and glanced at the two of them with cold eyes.

"The place where the mermaid tears are located is the holy land of the mermaids. It is surrounded by prohibitions and guardian beasts. Moreover, the mermaids regard it as a sacred object and will kill anyone who approaches it."

Zhao Xuan frowned, "Is there no way to get it?"

The young man sneered, "There is a way, but it will cost a huge price.

"We need to use our essence as a guide to unlock the confusing formations outside the holy land."

Zhao Xuan looked hesitant. After all, no one wanted to lose their essence easily.

Seeing this, the young man sneered: "What? You have such little courage and you dare to get the mermaid tears?"

Zhao Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "If it really succeeds, losing a little essence is worth it." Anyway, it's not his.

The boy looked at Li Xiaoxiao, "What about you? Are you willing to take the risk too?"

Li Xiaoxiao pretended to be embarrassed, nodded hesitantly, and asked again: "You haven't told me yet, who are you? How can you convince us?"

The young man's mouth curled up into an elusive smile, "I am the Prince of the West Sea."

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the most common phrase the fish said during those days was "The prince is crazy."

Li Xiaoxiao was shocked. No wonder the fish said the prince was crazy. The prince of the West Sea actually wanted to take outsiders to take his sacred object.

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed: "So it's His Royal Highness the Prince. I'm so sorry. With His Royal Highness's help, we will definitely succeed."

Prince Xihai snorted coldly: "Don't be happy too soon. Even if you solve the confusing formation, there are still guardian beasts waiting for you. Those guys are not easy to deal with."

Zhao Xuan asked: "Does Your Highness have any solution to this?"

Prince Xihai glanced at him and said, "I naturally have a way, but you need to find a magical herb first. This herb is called Lingxin Grass, which can temporarily suppress the spiritual power of the guardian beast."

Zhao Xuan nodded hurriedly: "Then where is the Lingxin grass?"

Prince Xihai said slowly: "This grass grows in the misty forest under the sea. It is full of dangers. Do you have the courage to go and look for it?"

Zhao Xuan clenched his fists: "For the sake of the Mermaid's Tears, I have to give it a try no matter how dangerous it is."

Li Xiaoxiao also nodded.

There was a barely perceptible light in Prince Xihai's eyes, and he thought to himself: Let them go find the Lingxin Grass, it would be best if they all died in it.

But Li Xiaoxiao was thinking in her heart that the Prince of the West Sea seemed to have ulterior motives and she had to be careful and cautious.

There is no formation in the world that she cannot break, so the underwater forest sounds unreliable and only a fool would go there.

Zhao Xuan turned around and prepared to go out to look for Lingxin Grass, but found Li Xiaoxiao standing still.

"Fellow Daoist Li, why don't you leave?" Zhao Xuan asked puzzledly.

Li Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said, "I'm afraid this Spiritual Heart Grass is just a cover for him. He wants to use the Misty Forest to get rid of us. Why should we be fooled?"

Zhao Xuan was stunned. "But if we don't have the Spirit Heart Grass, how can we deal with the guardian beast?"

Li Xiaoxiao smiled slyly, "Who said we must do as he says? I have my own way to break the guardian beast."

Prince Xihai listened to the conversation between the two and his expression changed slightly. "If you don't go find the Spirit Heart Grass, forget about getting the Mermaid Tears."

Li Xiaoxiao walked towards the Prince of the West Sea and looked him straight in the eyes. "Your Highness, I'm afraid your thoughts are even deeper than the bottom of the sea. The guardian beast is not a matter of two words from you. The so-called spiritual heart grass is just an excuse to trick us into dying."

Prince Xihai's conspiracy was discovered, and he became furious and was about to take action.

Suddenly, a strange light appeared around them, and an old voice sounded: "Little girl, you are quite smart. Today, I will send you off."

As the light fell, a white-haired old man emerged from the body of Prince of the West Sea. He looked at Zhao Xuan and Li Xiaoxiao with cold eyes.
