Chapter 262: Water Fairy
“Your pupil technique is very interesting.” Shi Feizhe stared at Brother Xia for a few moments and saw through his pupil technique.
Shi Feizhe had naturally come into contact with pupil techniques before.
Simply put, pupil techniques involve using powerful True Qi to change the shape of the lens in the eyes, thickening the optic nerves, or even equipping the eyes with glasses.
But it was the first time he had seen someone cultivate their eyes into both double pupils and crossed eyes!
However, among the countless secret manuals in the Jianghu, there were all sorts of crazy things. Cultivating double pupils and crossed eyes was just a minor issue.
“Thank you for your praise, Mister! If you’re interested, I can share the entire ใHeavenly Eye Techniqueใ with you.” Brother Xia looked at Shi Feizhe with his eyes slanted.
He couldn’t be blamed for looking sideways; only in this way could he see the person in front of him.
The person in front of him seemed to have come specifically for his pupil technique.
“No need!” Shi Feizhe said, “Your cultivation method has some drawbacks. If you practice it for a long time, your eyes might go blind. Listen carefully. The eyes are the windows to the soul, the heart is the root of life…”
Shi Feizhe slowly recited a modified version of the ใHeavenly Eye Techniqueใ. This version removed some of the drawbacks of the original ใHeavenly Eye Techniqueใ and allowed it to transform into different forms based on the user’s mental state.
Brother Xia was stunned. He didn’t expect that the other person wasn’t coveting his technique but was instead imparting a new one to him.
He listened carefully and felt that the new technique was profound and insightful. The parts of the original ใHeavenly Eye Techniqueใ that he didn’t understand or had doubts about suddenly became clear.
The blockages in the original technique were effortlessly cleared away, like water flowing smoothly.
His double pupils unknowingly merged together, and his pupils underwent changes unknown to him.
“Our fate has come to an end. You must see the path ahead clearly!” After Shi Feizhe finished speaking, he took a few quick steps and disappeared from their sight.
The three of them were stunned as they watched Shi Feizhe vanish.
What was going on?!
There were people in the Jianghu who would casually give away techniques?
Who would dare to practice such a technique?
“It’s truly strange.” Brother Jie shook his head and then noticed Brother Xia’s eyes. “Brother Xia, your eyes…”
“I can see clearly now.” Brother Xia’s eyes were incredibly bright, as if they were glowing.
After cultivating the ใHeavenly Eye Techniqueใ, he could see the eyes and every feather of birds flying in the sky, but he couldn’t see the faces of people right in front of him.
“Ah Jie, Mianhua. So this is what you look like.” With the help of the starlight, Brother Xia saw the faces of his two brothers.
Before, these two brothers had always been blurry to him, even when they were right in front of him.
Even when he tilted his head, he could only see their outlines, not their features clearly.
“Your eyes…” Mianhua also noticed the changes in Brother Xia’s eyes.
There seemed to be peculiar patterns around his pupils, like lightning or fire.
“What’s wrong with my eyes?” Brother Xia asked, puzzled.
Brother Jie described the changes around his pupils, and Brother Xia said, “I don’t feel any discomfort. I just feel that the world is so clear in my eyes.”
“Could it be that we’ve encountered a legendary immortal? He had a technique that was very suitable for me, so he imparted it to me?”
“We’ve struck it rich! With these eyes, our work will be much easier!” he said.
“Exactly! Exactly!” Brother Jie and Mianhua agreed.
The three of them continued towards the Great Cai Armory. After about half an hour, they arrived in front of the towering beam of light and the three stone walls.
At the base of the three stone walls, there were three caves that led to the Great Cai Armory.
However, the Great Cai Armory was now flooded by the underground river, with water over a hundred meters deep. Moreover, the passage inside was winding and several hundred meters long.
Who could hold their breath underwater for so long?!
Therefore, for many years, countless people could only sigh in frustration at the sight of the Great Cai Armory.
โฟโฟโฟ
Those who could dive and explore the Great Cai Armory were all True Realm martial artists.
The most valuable part of the Great Cai Armory was the True Realm techniques. If you were already a True Realm martial artist, why the hell would you come to this place?!
It was like speedrunning Karazhan to get Karazhan gear.
But these three were different. They had been wandering the Jianghu for years, robbing many ancient tombs, and had found two treasures.
One of them was a pearl that resembled the legendary Jiao dragon pearl. Holding it in one’s mouth allowed them to avoid water and breathe freely underwater.
The other was a luminous pearl that could emit light in the darkness.
The Great Cai Armory was so deep underwater that there was no light. They couldn’t just feel their way along the stone walls with their hands.
It was precisely because of these two treasures that they were prepared to enter the Great Cai Armory and find some martial arts manuals they could understand.
Due to their low cultivation level, they didn’t dare to come during the day and could only sneak in at night. They hadn’t expected to encounter a mysterious person on the way. Fortunately, the mysterious person didn’t make things difficult for them.
Among the three, it was Brother Xia who would dive.
There was no other reason than that Brother Xia could read, while the other two couldn’t.
Brother Xia had a good memory, while the other two had poor memories.
Although Brother Xia’s eyesight was bad, they had plenty of time.
Now that Brother Xia’s eyesight was good, it was truly heaven helping them!
They found the eastern cave entrance and walked inside. The passage was still the same passage, and the bronze lamps on the walls had been taken away by someone.
After walking a few dozen meters through the passage, they reached a pool of water.
It was actually the remaining part of the passage that had been submerged by the water below, so it looked like a small pool.
Brother Xia changed into an otter skin suit, which would keep him warm in the cold pool water. He held the water-avoiding pearl in his mouth and the luminous pearl in his hand, ready to dive.
“Brother Xia! Be careful!” Brother Jie held onto Brother Xia and said.
“Brother Xia! The manuals don’t matter. You must come back safely!” Mianhua added.
Brother Xia smiled and said, “It’s just diving. Don’t worry, brothers. Don’t make it sound like a life-or-death situation!”
With that, he plunged into the water and swam down the passage in the pool.
The pool water was dark and icy cold, as it never saw the light of day. The luminous pearl emitted only a faint light, attracting the fish in the pool to swim around him.
He paid them no mind; it was perfectly normal for there to be fish in the water.
After swimming for two quarters of an hour, he finally reached the end of the passage and officially entered the underwater hall.
Here, there was actually some light, emanating from the luminous pearls at the top of the hall.
Only a few of the pearls were emitting light. If he hadn’t been preoccupied with the manuals, he would have gone to pry those pearls loose.
Just as he was about to look at the manuals on the walls of the hall, he suddenly felt an undercurrent in the water.
Strange, how could there be an undercurrent in such a deep underwater pool?
The undercurrent grew stronger, making Brother Xia uneasy. He followed the current and arrived in the third hall. In the dim light, he saw water flying backwards towards a hole, forming a whirlpool.
Below the whirlpool, there was a person controlling the water flow.
That person was the one he had seen before, the one he had suspected to be an immortal.
Who else could make water flow backwards but an immortal?
Everyone move aside, let the deadbeat show off!
