CHAPTER 768: CHAPTER 766: ACCEPTING A FAVOR

Before coming here, Xuan Chu was already intimately familiar with the general terrain of Five Emperors Mountain. Downstream of this small stream, there is an open camp.

According to the current water flow, it won’t be long before the open camp below will be in trouble.

Xuan Chu shouted directly towards the direction of the water flow: "Dragon Spirit, come out!"

The Dragon Spirit originally intended to leave here along the flow, but unexpectedly heard Xuan Chu’s voice.

He directly popped his head out of the water. In the current scene, if anyone with the faintest heart saw this, they would absolutely be scared to the point of wetting themselves.

Having swum in the deep pool for so long, the Dragon Spirit, upon coming out, still did not fully understand the situation here.

"There are a lot of people camping downstream of this little stream, hurry up and block the water here."

Xuan Chu did not waste words, instructing the Dragon Spirit to remedy the situation, while he also headed towards the gap.

Dragon Spirit: ...

Well, can he say that he really didn’t do it on purpose?

Immediately, the Dragon Spirit swam upstream and quickly reached the gap.

The water from this underground pool is as cold as ice, and Xuan Chu shivered as soon as he entered it.

Xuan Chu was about to seal the water to first block it, and then repair the gap.

Unexpectedly, his hands and feet suddenly became uncontrollable, as if thousands of needles were stabbing into his bones.

"This water..."

Just as Xuan Chu wanted to ask if there was something wrong with the water, Xuan Kong lifted him to the shore.

The Dragon Spirit had already swum over and used his body to block the gap where the water was exiting.

What had become a small creek returned to its original form.

Xuan Chu looked at the icy, piercing water that had drained his strength, and gazed at the Dragon Spirit in shock.

"You’ve been soaking in this kind of water all this time?"

If that were the case, he could understand why the Dragon Spirit was laughing so recklessly before.

Escaping from such a place is indeed worth laughing about.

"That’s right, I’ve been soaking in this water for a long time!"

The Dragon Spirit took out his phone, which was supposed to be waterproof, but due to soaking for so long, it ended up having some issues.

This really made the Dragon Spirit furious; a device worth tens of thousands, just wasted like this, who wouldn’t be angry!

Although he could easily find something in the sea worth more than a phone, he was still very displeased.

Xuan Kong carefully examined his young apprentice, then looked at the Dragon Spirit using his body to block the gap.

"There’s something wrong with this water!"

Of course, the Dragon Spirit knew Xuan Kong, and hearing this, he felt everything he said was nonsense.

"Of course there’s a problem, otherwise how could it trap me for so long? With a swipe of my Dragon Claw, I could destroy this whole mountain!"

Xuan Chu sat down and controlled his breathing for a while before dispelling the cold within his body.

The strange sensation that seemed to bind his muscles and bones, rendering him powerless, was also eradicated.

"Hurry and find me some stones, I’m blocking this gap and can’t muster extra strength for anything else."

Having come into contact with this deep pool water, the Dragon Spirit was unable to use his innate abilities.

Xuan Kong looked around and quickly spotted a massive stone, weighing at least several tons.

He pasted a talisman on the stone, then effortlessly lifted it with his hand.

"Be careful, I’m pushing the stone over now."

The Dragon Spirit naturally saw the talisman paper stuck on the stone and shook his head with a light sigh.

"This water is really weird, it can easily neutralize Xuanmen Power and the power of other life forms too."

Thinking of something, the Dragon Spirit’s eyes brightened up.

He began searching for treasures he had collected before, finally pulling out an extremely old-looking, somewhat corroded copper vessel.

With a turn, he inverted the copper vessel over the gap, and the pool water streamed directly into it.

The vessel didn’t look large but was capable of holding much more than its appearance suggested.

Quite some time had passed now, and the vessel was still tirelessly collecting water flowing from the pool.

"Xuan Chu, hurry and help, push the stone over!"

The Dragon Spirit felt that Xuan Chu genuinely lacked any sense of tact.

He wondered how Yun Ran could tolerate such a ’dull’ person before.

If it weren’t for his inherent love of freedom, staying by Yun Ran’s side would have caused him to crush Xuan Chu effortlessly.

Xuan Chu had no idea that the Dragon Spirit was disparaging him at this moment.

Having regained some strength, he understood the peculiarity of this underground water, went up, and removed the talisman paper from the large stone.

Then he took charge of pushing the stone, guiding it to the gap where the Dragon Spirit was.

Just as the stone was about to be pushed over, the Dragon Spirit coordinated by withdrawing the inverted copper vessel from the gap at the right moment.

The gap was blocked, though not completely, as some trickles continued to flow out from the gap.

Xuan Chu, panting, glanced at the copper vessel in the Dragon Spirit’s hand.

"Your copper vessel can hold a lot, where did you get it?"

He knew the Dragon Spirit was innately knowledgeable, having received some Dragon Clan heritage.

Now that their relationship was quite familiar, Xuan Chu was merely curious and not really probing.

The Dragon Spirit glanced at Xuan Chu, and then pulled out another copper vessel from who knows where, made of the same material.

The only difference was that the two vessels had different appearances.

"Do you like it? I’ll give you one!"

Xuan Chu: ...

People say accepting favors makes you cautious; if he accepted it, it would be difficult to calmly listen to Yun Ran’s complaints about the Dragon Spirit in the future.

"What, you don’t want it? If not, forget it!"

In the Dragon Spirit’s view, good things must be seized; if he took something out and others didn’t grasp it within a second,

it indicated they weren’t very interested in it.

As for why he thought this way, it was naturally through Yun Ran’s good teaching.

If one acted fake, polite, or lofty in Yun Ran’s presence, they could only end up as a fool.

Just as the Dragon Spirit was about to put away the copper vessel, since he wasn’t eager to give it away anyway,

at that moment the Dragon Spirit was pulling back, Xuan Chu quickly ’snatched’ the item.

"Once given, there’s no taking it back, thanks a lot!"

The Dragon Spirit looked speechlessly at Xuan Chu, wanting to say just one thing: stop pretending!

These copper vessels were the few he had secretly stashed away when Yun Ran was busy destroying that Immortal Ascension Channel.

The copper vessels set at the main positions of the Immortal Ascension Channel array were by no means cheap goods.
