Master, you go first!

Gu Jiu was looking forward to the content inside, but thinking of the sect leader's instructions just now, he did not continue to explore. He put away the jade slips and continued to the main hall. He would wait until the matter was finished before going back to study slowly.

When he came to the main hall, Ji Chuxue was sitting in the main seat reading a book and waiting for him.

"Sect Master, do you have something to do with me?" Gu Jiu said as he entered the door.

Ji Chuxue heard Gu Jiu's voice, raised her head and said,

"Well, I just heard what you said about the things in the east. I remembered something. When I helped you test the talismans before, there was a strange place in the south. I wanted to take you there to have a look."

"Oh, how far south? Isn't it all the sea?"

"It's an island thousands of miles away. Let's go. Is it okay to go now?"

"Oh, it's okay, let's go." Gu Jiu replied.

So, Ji Chuxue took Gu Jiu with his sword and headed straight towards the South China Sea.

It was also the first time for Gu Jiu to ride on Ji Chuxue's flying sword. It was really shocking beyond his imagination. The scenery everywhere was an afterimage, making it impossible to see clearly. It was too fast.

If he can go out at this speed, he won't have to worry. Hey, he still has to improve his cultivation.

After nearly an hour, Ji Chuxue took him to the small islands he met last time and stopped over one of them.

Ji Chuxue pointed in a direction below and said,

"Look, that altar."

After saying that, he took Gu Jiu down to the altar.

"Can you understand the text above? I couldn't understand it last time. Is it ancient text?"

Only then did Gu Jiu realize that there were indeed some crooked rune-like fonts on the altar.

He checked it carefully for a while and couldn't understand it at all. It was not Chinese. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't remember that there were such words in my previous life, like runes from an even older time.

"I can't understand it either. It's not the words on the jade slips and the entrance to the secret realm." Gu Jiu replied.

"That's strange. What kind of writing is this? I don't know what this altar is used for. It's still hanging in the air."

"Perhaps it's a more ancient rune." Gu Jiu said as he jumped onto the altar.

After groping for a while, I found nothing. There was only a faint red light when my hand was placed on the rune, and there was no other reaction at all.

"I don't know. I observed it for a while last time and didn't notice anything. I thought you could understand."

"But Sect Master, have you noticed that the aura of these islands is very strong?"

"Well, it seems so. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought about it."

The two of them stopped worrying about the altar issue and went down to the beach on the island. The waves lapped the beach gently, and occasionally seabirds flew over. It was very pleasant to walk here.

"The environment here is really good. If it weren't for my low cultivation level, I would have wanted to live here." Gu Jiu sighed.

"It's really good, but I always feel it's a bit strange here."

After Ji Chuxue finished speaking, she continued to kick the sand a few more times. She had not been so relaxed since she had been out for a long time, and she felt a little more playful.

Gu Jiu, who was still a thirteen-year-old boy, immediately started running on the beach. This was the first time he saw the sea when he came to this world. He was in a good mood and shouted a few times in the direction of the sea.

"Ah, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King."

"..." Ji Chuxue couldn't understand the meaning of Gu Jiu's words and could only respond with silence.

Just when Gu Jiu finished shouting, there was something strange on the beach. Gu Jiu didn't feel it at all, but Ji Chuxue had already noticed it.

"Be careful." Ji Chuxue said.

I saw a bloody mouth suddenly bursting out of the sand. It was really a big mouth, big enough to swallow Gu Jiu whole in one mouthful.

Ji Chuxue quickly used her spiritual power to push Gu Jiu away, and Gu Jiu was pushed away a dozen steps. He emptied his mouth and got into the beach again.

Gu Jiu was in shock.

"What just happened?"

"I don't know, it should be a monster on the seaside."

Ji Chuxue became alert and let go of her spiritual consciousness to explore. Within a moment, her spiritual consciousness captured the movement.

"They haven't gone very far. They're right over there. There's not just one, but about ten of them."

"Strips?" Gu Jiu began to wonder. There were strips of stripes on the beach. Could they be sandworms or sea centipedes that turned into monsters on the beach in the previous life?

"Sect Master, can you beat me?"

"Okay, it doesn't feel very strong. It's probably not yet at the Alchemy Demon realm. It's very easy."

"Haha, Sect Master, come on, find them all and let me take them back to refine the spiritual fertilizer."

"Uh, okay." Ji Chuxue said.

After saying that, she drew out her long sword and activated her spiritual power. A cold spiritual power surrounded her body, and a dozen long ice cones condensed around her. As she swung her long sword, the ice pick stabbed straight away, in the exact direction she pointed just now.

The ice pick sank directly into the beach. In the blink of an eye, the tip of Ji Chuxue's sword was raised, and something like a big earthworm hung on each of the ice picks came out.

Gu Jiu was shocked and said,

"I'm sorry, it's really a mutated sandworm. It's so big. Oh no, it still has legs. What a new species."

These "super-large centipedes" are more than ten meters long, and their heads are very large and have a dense ring of teeth, making them very ferocious.

Ji Chuxue felt a little disgusted when she saw these things twisting around. She raised her hand and pointed forward, and a breath of ice rolled up, freezing them all into ice.

Gu Jiu asked from the side,

"Sect Master, are they completely dead?"

"Well, I can't survive."

Gu Jiu rushed over to observe, but he didn't see the reason. It would be better to go back and ask someone.

He took out his pocket knife and prepared to take out the demon core.

Ji Chuxue saw this and said,

"I'll get it for you, no need to bother."

After saying that, he waved his hand and used spiritual power to directly force out the demon cores of these things. A dozen demon cores flew in the air, and then landed on the sand in front of Gu Jiu, very easily.

"Wow, the sect leader is amazing." Gu Jiu watched and clapped.

"If you need these demon cores, just take them." Ji Chuxue said.

"Okay," Gu Jiuxi smiled, but after thinking about it, she said, "I'll just take a few."

So he bent down, picked up a few and put them into the rings, then picked up the rest and gave them back to Ji Chuxue.

Ji Chuxue took the demon core and was about to put it into the storage container. When she found a spirit stone, she asked doubtfully,

"Why did you give me the spirit stone?"

"No, isn't it a demon core?" Gu Jiu was also confused.

"Isn't this yours?" Ji Chuxue took out the newly discovered spirit stone from the demon core and showed it to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu thought about it carefully and was very sure that he did not bring out the spirit stone. After thinking about it, he seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise,

"Sect Master, there are spiritual stones on the beach. Could it be that there is a spiritual stone mine here? These things were pushed out from below."

Ji Chuxue listened to Gu Jiu's analysis and felt that it seemed quite reasonable, because spiritual detection can generally only detect a dozen meters underground. Due to the barrier of the land, it cannot detect too deep, so if the Lingshi mine exceeds this depth, it cannot be detected. Her consciousness detected it.
