Chapter 162 The Spirit Ship Evolves, Herding the Primordial Spirit Sea! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
However, before entering the Mother River, Lu Yu once again used the Bronze Millet to replicate his previous cooking skills, and then handed it over to the Gluttony Cauldron for upgrade.
No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat well and get a good buff before setting off!
Especially since he has a forbidden curse mark and his luck is too bad, he needs a luck-related ability to neutralize it!
Although the buffs of the [Master of the Gate] talent are randomly refreshed, similar materials and methods make it easier to obtain similar abilities.
This is definitely not just wishful thinking from unlucky people!
Lu Yu pondered for a moment. After paying the price of a drop of blood to get rid of the Gluttony Cauldron that had been broken, he saw the buff [Great Fortune] this time.
[Hongfu: A luck-based buff born from a dish personally prepared by the sect leader. After consuming a quarter of it, luck is increased in water-related areas, but one is more likely to encounter floods. Luck is greatly boosted during the process, lasting for 24 hours.]
"You call a flood a blessing?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment when he saw the description. No wonder there was no "Qitian" (meaning "equal to heaven"). If a flood came, with his own special coffin boat, he would have no chance to go to heaven. He would be buried at sea and have a feast all at once.
Environmentally friendly and hygienic!
"No, I went to the Primordial Spirit Sea. How could there be a flood at sea? At most, there might be a tsunami. Those despicable outsiders can exploit bugs. They have water, which increases their luck, and they don't have to worry about side effects. Hmm, there shouldn't be any problems..."
Lu Yu comforted himself, thinking that he had perfectly inherited the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.
If your left eye twitches, it means you're destined for good fortune!
A twitching right eye is a sign of misfortune; that's feudal superstition!
As expected, they encountered the white fox again when they were having lunch. The fox was already waiting with its head held high. Before the Star Leaf was used, it could keep taking advantage of him for free, and Lu Yu couldn't refuse!
After all, this is an old man who has a meal card that's been topped up!
Therefore, he could only channel his grief and anger into strength and give the fox a good pat. He had to admit, the fur felt really comfortable to the touch, even more comfortable than the finest silk.
According to what Lilith said before, a typical golden peak spirit lamp can still illuminate ten meters, a spiritual transformation lamp can illuminate between fifteen and twenty meters, and a genius can illuminate thirty or forty meters.
However, he himself was already fifty meters tall at the Silver Rank, and after advancing through the Primal Spirit Ascension Fruit, he broke through the hundred-meter limit, making even the Morning Star Rank feel inferior.
Now, Lu Yu can see most of the surrounding situation at a glance, and even if he encounters danger, he will have plenty of time to react.
Moreover, the radiant light of the spirit lamp is an extension of its own spirituality and can only be seen on a ship.
In other words, while the other party was still cautiously exploring within a hundred-meter radius, Lu Yu had already seen them from head to toe, and could even guide them from a god-like perspective, using the power of the Primal Spirit Sea to annihilate them!
The joy of cheating is so simple and unpretentious!
"Thankfully, after the spiritual puzzle was completed, a coffin lid wasn't actually added..."
Lu Yu felt fortunate, but the three dragon heads above his head seemed to sense his thoughts. The three powers of red, yellow and black intertwined and turned into a large number of gray tentacles, which fused together to form a lid and suddenly covered him.
Boom!
With a muffled thud, the ship was completely shrouded in darkness, plunging the world into a sense of peaceful burial.
"..."
That's like a coffin lid!
They sealed it so tightly, as if they were afraid the coffin wouldn't be sealed properly and that I might crawl out of it.
Lu Yu was speechless. Seeing this, the little mouse conjured a small soul lamp, illuminating the surroundings before rolling around on the ground laughing, saying:
"Hahaha, Xiu Ren, this function is too stupid. It completely blocks our view. It's so tight that not only can't the wind get in, but water can't get in either. The only advantage is that it looks pretty sturdy."
But we've all become blind. Who will guide us? Do we row a boat without oars or eyes, relying solely on the waves? Sister Spider, don't misunderstand, I wasn't implying anything against you…”
"Waaah!"
The little spider shook its head and tried, but neither its Mind's Eye nor its Mind Web could penetrate the lid and see what was happening outside. However, correspondingly, those outside probably couldn't see inside either.
It's advisable to remove the lid, otherwise it won't be able to protect the owner!
Listening to the two pets' complaints, Lu Yu was stunned and murmured:
"No water is leaking in... we can't see it from the outside... could it be...?"
His eyes brightened, as if he understood, and he quickly said to the little spider:
"Give me some illumination!"
"Eek!"
The little spider nodded, stretched out its finger and pinched it, and arcs of electricity leaped and intertwined, bursting forth with white light, illuminating the entire interior of the ship as if it were daytime, almost blinding the curious mouse that had poked its head out.
"Just as I expected!"
Lu Yu looked up and saw three different colored dragon bones hanging down at the center of the intertwined dragon heads. He casually grabbed the red dragon bone, and Lu Yu's perspective changed...
Once again, I saw the eternal mist and the dark spiritual sea, only from a higher vantage point.
This is……
The perspective of the crimson dragon head!
He continued to experiment with the remaining two sections of the dragon bone, and sure enough, he could switch between the perspectives of the Twilight Dragon Head and the Skeleton Dragon Head, which was equivalent to a periscope with three angles.
You can even adjust the viewpoint to see what your own ship looks like:
It was a huge, bloated sphere, topped with three ferocious and terrifying dragon heads, surrounded by six void eyes that constantly opened and closed. A ring of silver flames swirled around it, mysterious and dazzling, and from its base spread numerous tentacle-like roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree...
At first glance, it doesn't look like a ship at all; it looks more like a bizarre and peculiar variant.
"This isn't a coffin, it's a mimicry submarine!"
Lu Yu murmured, his expression growing increasingly excited.
So that's how this coffin lid... oops, this dragon-shaped cover is used!
In the Primordial Spirit Sea, ascending to the sky is nothing special. As long as you don't go too high, there's no danger. Some powerful individuals can also briefly levitate by using the power of their pets or their own talents, but they can't directly fly a spaceship like Lu Yu.
Although it's a small number, it's still achievable!
But going to sea...that's a completely different story!
To advance to the spiritual transformation stage or even the Morning Star stage, there is an unavoidable hurdle: the use of primordial copper, formed from highly concentrated spiritual energy from the seabed.
However, most people, alien races, and even members of the evil god cult would rather spend a lot of time searching for the mutants, killing them and looting their corpses, than go deep into the sea.
Because no one knows how long the primordial spiritual sea has existed, how many aberrations it contains, or how many ancient beings it hides.
Entering the water means not only resisting the erosion of primal spirituality, but also being careful not to be lured or forcibly dragged to the bottom of the sea by these unknown creatures, where you will be eternally drowned!
In addition, due to its vast and boundless spirituality, the primordial spiritual sea also nurtures countless treasures, and even the portals to small worlds sink into it, absorbing spiritual energy to grow.
The deeper you go into the ocean, the greater the rewards, but the greater the risks. Therefore, mastering the ability to access the ocean floor is like starting a machine and digging for gold while others are still struggling to pan for it.
If one is strong enough, it is not impossible to graze the entire Primordial Spirit Sea!
All the aberrations are just their own cattle and sheep!
I am the largest rancher in the Primordial Spirit Sea!
"However, having ability doesn't mean you already possess a gold mine. On the contrary, you need to be even more careful. After all, mutants are also easily preyed upon by powerful mutants. Big fish eat little fish, and little fish eat shrimp. This is the eternal rule of the world, and it is even more cruel in the Primordial Spirit Sea..."
Lu Yu sighed, then told the mouse and the little spider about the new ship's capabilities, expressing his desire to explore the seabed and find enough Primal Copper for their spiritual transformation and advancement to Morning Star.
If there are enough of them, they can even be sold, instantly amassing a large fortune.
Spider and Mouse were also shocked, never expecting Egg to be so capable, directly developing the ship's second ability.
In this way, it seems that only the mouse has not developed any additional abilities.
"Eek!"
After hearing this, the little spider clenched its little fist and waved it, indicating that it would follow its master wherever he went!
The mouse looked conflicted, because it seemed so dark underwater, so… it pleaded weakly:
"Shuren, this is Shushu's first time in the sea, don't go too deep, I'll be scared!"
"..."
Lu Yu remained silent for a moment, then managed to utter only one word:
"roll!"
"Alright!"
The mouse nimbly rolled into Xiu Ren's pocket, feeling a strong sense of security.
Although they said no,
But it just loves Xiuren's domineering attitude!
"Let's set sail, Shepherd!"
"Eek!" "Go go go!"
As Lu Yu whispered, the Void Dragon Ant was successfully decommissioned, and a new ship named after the Spiritual Puzzle was put in its place.
boom!
The six Void Eyes wriggled and converged, forming a ring. The Void Engine started, spewing out high-energy Void Flames, carrying powerful kinetic energy, and plunged directly into the Sea of Spirit.
"Gulp!"
With a soft sound, Lu Yu, who had been holding the Crimson Dragon Bone and observing his surroundings from the Crimson Dragon King's perspective, saw the world before him turn pitch black, as if he had entered a deep abyss that swallowed all light.
Ding!
The next moment, the spirit lamp held in the head of the twilight dragon blazed brightly and burned faster, spreading out spiritual energy and illuminating all directions.
Because it was an extension of the spirit, there was no need to worry about disturbing the creatures in the sea. Even so, the images broadcast by the crimson dragon head still made him gasp for breath.
"So... I've been sailing on top of these guys all along?"
In Lu Yu's eyes, within a mere hundred-meter radius, several bizarre and deformed creatures were floating.
Fifty meters to the north, there was a bird mutant dressed in a magnificent golden coat, with numerous jet-black feathers growing out of its clothes and covering its entire body, like a lost noblewoman.
It had five bird heads, hanging sadly. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the eyes on each head were hollow and bloody, as if they had been gouged out. It lay there listlessly in the primordial spiritual sea, emanating a twisted aura.
As Lu Yu merely gazed at it, he heard a woman's sorrowful whisper:
"...My child...a thief stole my child...has anyone seen my child...?"
"Please... spare my child..."
The voice did not use a human language, but it contained a mysterious power that allowed him to easily understand its meaning, and even gave him an urge to answer the question!
"That's really weird!"
Lu Yu quickly dismissed this dangerous thought, because he had a premonition that answering the other party might trigger some unknown change.
"Just seeing him has an impact; even if this guy isn't a Morning Star, he's not far off!"
Lu Yu was relieved that he was in underwater mode. Otherwise, if he had sailed above it, he might have been affected by the fluctuations. If he had made a sound or answered a question, it would have attracted it out, leading to the destruction of the ship and loss of life.
Compared to this, the crab boss I encountered before was totally adorable!
They're stupid, rich, and easy to bully!
On the first day of remembering it, I wonder if new cursed flowers have grown yet.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu continued to look at the other guys who had been detected by the spirit lamp.
To the east, at a distance of 65 meters, there is a giant centipede-like deformed creature formed from a large number of human limbs. It has no head and is slowly swimming in the water. Among its many arms, it is clutching a fragment of a ship hull formed from a spiritual puzzle piece, which is stained with blood.
Clearly... a hapless soul just encountered it and perished here. Both the corpse and the ship formed from the spiritual puzzle pieces have become part of this centipede's mutated body.
This guy is just as dangerous!
Seventy meters to the southwest, there was a giant octopus, slowly moving with its tentacles. Where the suckers used to be, there were now distorted faces, white and swollen from being soaked.
Humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and even demons with an abyss ecosystem have all merged into a variant, chaotic and twisted.
As for the deeper seabed, Lu Yu couldn't see it clearly either. Even the 100-meter exploration distance of the Spirit Lamp was nothing compared to the deep primordial spirit sea.
He manipulated the dragon's head to look, and could only see an endless expanse of dark shadows, which seemed to be alive, dwelling on the seabed, slowly wriggling and breathing.
Beneath the calm lies a profound terror.
The deeper you sink into the spiritual sea, the higher the danger becomes!
Those ancient beings are most likely somewhere deep in the ocean.
So he decisively abandoned the idea of diving deeper.
"Leaving aside the deeper abyss, within a mere hundred-meter radius, there are three terrifying aberrations that are almost indistinguishable from the Morning Star. The danger beneath the surface is indeed far greater than above!"
Lu Yu thought to himself, "Fortunately, none of these guys have seen each other, and their field of vision is limited, so they're all doing their own thing."
Once contact is made, this group of already crazed guys could very well erupt into a major battle!
"Xiu-ren, these guys look like ghosts, let's hurry up and leave!"
The mouse glanced through the dragon's head and couldn't help but shudder. It was terrified of these strange, ghost-like creatures.
"I know!"
Lu Yu nodded, not to comfort the rat, but because after entering the water, he felt that the burning speed of the spirit lamp was obviously one-tenth faster, and the burning speed would further increase as the water depth increased.
Although the first underwater exploration should prioritize stability, we shouldn't waste time like this.
But which way should we go?
Lu Yu quickly found the answer!
Because these three mutants suddenly started moving and began swimming southwest, seemingly attracted by something.
"What happened?"
Although Lu Yu didn't know what had happened, his body still followed along. Relying on the vast field of vision of a hundred meters, he kept a close distance and followed closely behind the octopus mutant.
This octopus mutant had extremely keen senses and seemed to feel that something was following it, but no matter how many times it turned around or even manipulated the faces on its tentacles to stare intently behind it, all it saw was an endless sea of darkness.
Even the octopus's usually irrational face couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.
If it still had enough rationality, it probably wouldn't have been able to resist saying "What the hell?" But now, driven only by instinct, it didn't dwell on the question too much, quickly putting it out of its mind and pursuing that desire.
After it swam slowly for a distance, a large number of dark blue light spots suddenly appeared in the spiritual sea around it. These faces, which acted as suckers, suddenly opened their mouths, separated it from the spiritual sea, and swallowed it, just like the special organs of marine organisms that eat planktonic algae.
After consuming these specks of light, the expressions on these faces grew increasingly painful, while the octopus mutant slowly grew larger, beginning to differentiate into new small tentacles, gradually expanding.
In addition, bird aberrations and centipede aberrations also began to capture these free substances and started to grow.
"This is... the residue of primordial copper!"
Lu Yu recognized these substances at a glance; they were the Primal Copper he needed for his advancement. He never expected that these precious spiritual treasures would appear in large quantities in the water.
While Lu Yu was shocked, he was even more curious about what had happened.
Could it be that there are aberrations vying for a primordial copper vein?
Full of anticipation, Lu Yu followed along and soon discovered that the three mutants had stopped moving. They were not far apart and had not noticed each other.
In the area they surrounded, Lu Yu, through the vision of the spirit lamp, saw a large amount of primordial copper gathered together, transforming into a huge mineral vein.
Unfortunately, most of the original copper had long since lost its luster, or was even broken, exhibiting a dark quality reminiscent of the spiritual sea.
The culprit behind all this was a dark blue portal that was constantly drawing upon the primordial copper vein, causing it to crumble and turn into debris that flowed into the sea.
The moment Lu Yu saw it, his pupils dilated violently:
"This is……"
"The Gate to the World!"
