Lightning-Gathering Bracelet: One Bolt Stronger Than Six
Crescent Lake.
It refers to its shape, not its name.
This is a lake that is not very large; in terms of size, it is much smaller than the place where the Tiger Flood Dragon had been.
Before the two arrived, a fierce battle between humans and spirit beasts must have taken place here.
Today, beside Crescent Lake, one can see the enormous carcass of a spirit beast, its precious parts removed, leaving only a pile of flesh behind.
At this moment, the airship gradually came to a stop.
Xiao Ye maneuvered the flying boat, gradually approaching Crescent Lake.
"Junior Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
On the flying boat, Gu Chen looked at Xiao Ye with some surprise.
This is exactly where I checked in; I was just thinking of asking to stay here a little longer.
Before he could even speak, Xiao Ye had already controlled the flying boat to descend.
This is amazing, we're on the same wavelength!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye stated the reason he had already prepared, saying:
"Senior Brother, I sense something unusual about this lake, so I plan to examine it closely."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
"From this perspective, it's probably not a matter of telepathy."
At that moment, Gu Chen secretly made preparations in his mind.
The system will never send you to a certain place for no reason; this is based on experience.
Right now, Xiao Ye noticed something amiss and stopped here, and coincidentally, his sign-in spot was right here.
If not handled properly, there could be danger.
Where there is danger, one must be careful and vigilant.
At that moment, Gu Chen began to use the system to try to observe the people who might be around him, while simultaneously releasing his thoughts to probe into the pool.
Crescent Pool isn't very large; it's not only smaller than Tiger Flood Dragon's place, but it's also much shallower.
With a thought, it quickly reached the bottom of the lake.
No trace of demonic or spirit beasts was detected.
At this moment, the flying boat had arrived directly above Crescent Lake, very close to the water.
Xiao Ye closed his eyes slightly, looking very serious, as if he were sensing and searching.
A short while later, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to Gu Chen:
"Senior Brother, I need to go to this lake."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen said:
"Want to come together?"
Xiao Ye thought for a moment and said:
"I'll trouble you, Senior Brother, to guard this place for me. I'll be right back; there shouldn't be any danger."
Gu Chen thought for a moment, nodded, then took out his spear and stood at the bow of the flying boat.
On the other side, Xiao Ye boat and plunged into the water with a splash.
Although not very deep, the bottom of the lake is still a dark and gloomy place.
Xiao Ye looked around and quickly began to probe with his divine sense.
The mission is to find a piece of jade called "Memento Jade" (Sou Suan Yu).
There are no other requirements.
This is the first time I've encountered a task like this in a long time.
Simply put, searching for something within a general area is not a difficult task.
This is especially true for cultivators who can use their minds to explore their surroundings.
Soon, Xiao Ye's thoughts converged in one place.
"Here."
At that moment, it continued to venture deeper, heading towards a certain spot at the bottom of the lake.
The lakebed is all silt; channel your spiritual energy deep into it.
Soon, an object about half the size of a palm, covered in mud, was removed.
With a slight tremor, the mud dispersed, revealing the color of the jade.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded in Xiao Ye's mind:
"Congratulations, young master, you have completed the quest [Find the Memento Jade at the Bottom of Crescent Lake]. The quest rating is: 8."
"Mission rewards are being distributed..."
Upon hearing this prompt, Xiao Ye was slightly taken aback:
"Is it really that simple?"
Despite having anticipated it, I still can't help but find it incredible.
I only came here once, and it was all done in a short while.
"However, is the mission rating only eight?"
Such a simple task, yet I didn't get a perfect rating.
At that moment, Xiao Ye began to ponder.
Soon, he had a rough guess in his mind.
It must be due to the methods and strategies I used being too rigid.
After all, the airship had flown such a long distance without stopping, but now it suddenly stopped here.
The intention was too obvious; upon closer inspection, it was riddled with flaws.
"It seems I need to dedicate some time to improving my ability to act prudently."
Xiao Ye thought to himself.
In this way, if there are similar tasks in the future, it won't arouse suspicion.
Furthermore, it also allows for more simplification attempts.
The Sudden Enlightenment I had in the Zither Sound Valley was truly remarkable, with a significant improvement.
If we can simplify things and significantly reduce the difficulty of achieving Sudden Enlightenment, then I can catch up with my senior brothers and sisters as soon as possible.
As Xiao Ye pondered this, the system's voice sounded again:
"Reward successfully issued."
"The reward received this time is: Saint Rank High Grade artifact - Lightning-Gathering Bracelet."
"Saint Rank High Grade?!"
Xiao Ye's expression changed drastically.
The rewards the system is giving for this mission are of such a high rank!
Especially since this mission wasn't particularly difficult.
Immediately, Xiao Ye checked the system to see the item he had just acquired.
Judging from the name alone, this item may be of considerable help to me.
"My lady, this Lightning-Gathering Bracelet contains a trace of the laws of lightning. Although it's incomplete, it can be of great help to you right now!"
Tongtong spoke up and began to describe the item:
"Put it on your hand, my lord. When you activate it in battle, you can further refine the lightning power you have gathered, increasing its destructive force to the point where one bolt of lightning is stronger than six bolts..."
After listening to Tongtong's analysis, Xiao Ye temporarily abandoned the idea of giving it a try.
His attention returned to the jade in his hand, and he asked:
"Tongtong, the system has issued a task for me to retrieve this jade stone, but what could be the reason?"
"My lady, the Memento Jade can store a portion of the scene seen by the person who activates it. Perhaps this Memento Jade contains some important information."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye's expression shifted, and he tried to probe into it with his mind.
At the same time, outside Crescent Lake, the system's voice sounded in Lu Changzhi's mind:
"Congratulations to the host disciple Xiao Ye for completing the mission, with a rating of eight, and receiving the reward: Saint Rank High Grade artifact - Lightning-Gathering Bracelet."
"As the master, the host is granted one chance to draw a prize. Limited type: artifact; limited rank: Saint Rank."
"Draw or not?"
Hearing the prompt, Lu Changzhi nodded slightly.
"Smoke!"
The sound fell, and then a flash of light appeared.
A moment later, the light disappeared, and the system voice sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear again:
"Congratulations, host. You have obtained: Saint Rank Peak Grade Blue Jade Thumb Ring *1."
"A thumb ring?"
With a soft voice, Lu Changzhi focused his mind on the system repository.
Upon seeing the ring, Lu Changzhi was momentarily stunned, and then his expression became somewhat strange.
