Chapter 300: : Search for Medicine Under the Sea

Half a day later, Romo landed somewhere in the outer periphery of the Lost Spirit Sea.

Back then, it had taken him ten days just to get from Lost Spirit City to this area. He had even taken a flying ferry with a fixed route.

Romo stood on the surface of the sea and looked blankly at the clear sea in front of him.

In the grayish clouds mixed with ethereal wisps, he seemed to have seen the two figures. Both of them were smiling, and from time to time, they would dive into the sea, wanting to collect the bright spots of stardust that had risen from the bottom of the sea.

“Quick! Romo! There’s one behind you!”

“Ah… It has disappeared again!”

“It’s below; it is below!! Quick, quick!”

“Ah! It has been eaten! How infuriating! Romo, let’s catch it and eat it!”

“Ahhhh! I’ve caught the spot of stardust! Look!!”

Those memories had clearly been deliberately “forgotten” in his mind for many years, but at this moment, everything seemed to have reappeared in front of him, ringing in his ears.

Romo looked at the empty sea and stood there in a daze for a day.

It was not until a faint commotion could be heard not far behind him that he regained his senses. His vision was already in a blur.

Romo brushed his hand across his face. All traces vanished.

The flying ferry, which had once carried him and his wife over, slowly stopped on the calm sea.

Before the flying ferry could come to a stop, many figures flew down from it. They were like a group of swallows, flying lightly across the water and spreading out.

Most of the figures were Great Magi, the lowest was level-7. There were also many top Great Magi. They should be exploring and searching for a breakthrough.

These various teams, which were separated far from each other, had another special characteristic. Almost all the teams were a two-man team consisting of a man and a woman.

The reason for such a special situation was because of a special material here which could be used to refine pills. It could be used to refine a special medicine that could help a top Great Mage break through and become a Great Archmage. The precondition for these special pills to be effective was…

A couple had to take the same batch of pills together and then cultivate together.

Therefore, no single person had come to this water region to seek the opportunity to break through.

The shelf life of this medicine was very short. After leaving the sea region, it would quickly deteriorate… Those outside could basically only hear news about it, and would not be able to see the original substance of the pill.

Therefore, Romo and his wife had no choice but to come personally. They had originally wanted to exchange some medicinal herbs for the help of a professional alchemist in the Lost Spirit City to refine the medicine. This was a profession that had risen in the Lost Spirit City with the help of the Lost Spirit Sea…

Figures flew past Romo, ignoring him.

It was as if he could neither be seen nor sensed.

These teams of twos each occupied a piece of territory without interfering with each other and started to search for the medicinal herbs wholeheartedly.

They were all Great Magi who could not stay in the air for long, but they were already very familiar with standing on the surface of the sea, occasionally moving and appearing in a flash.

Clearly, this was not the first time they had taken a flying ferry here to find medicinal herbs.

Most of the Great Magi who came here sought the same kind of medicinal herbs. These medicinal herbs grew on the seabed. When they matured, the roots would automatically break off, and the coral-like upper part would slowly rise from the bottom of the sea. The roots would continue to accumulate energy and grow again…

In the process of rising from the bottom of the sea, most of the herbs would have been eaten by sea beasts and fish. Only a few would successfully rise to the surface of the sea.

And, after rising to the surface of the sea, if they were not collected in time, the medicinal herbs would quickly dissipate.

Romo and his wife had spent an entire month here before they obtained a relatively intact special medicinal herb.

He quietly watched the stir of activity brought about by the group of Magi. He saw the discouragement of those who failed to find any and the delight of those who had found it. He saw them fighting over a piece of plant, and saw someone accidentally fall into the mouth of a sea beast. The smell of blood wafted over…

Romo looked at the busy figures who were like him back then and seemed to have returned to that moment in a daze.

After standing there for a long time, he turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly froze.

The gentle light in those eyes was no longer there, only an extremely cold surging killing intent!

“I didn’t expect you to appear again… That’s right, 600 years is not long for a sea beast…”

With a thought, Romo’s eyes turned red!!

… . .

At the same time, on the flying ferry that had stopped on the calm sea.

In a certain compartment, there was a gray-robed old man cultivating magical power with his eyes closed.

His name was Kankla, and he was the guardian of the flying ferry. He was currently a level-6 Great Archmage.

This flying ferry belonged to a certain faction in the Lost Spirit City. It would regularly send people who needed to find medicine here. Kankla was one of the people hired by this faction. The main role was to prevent any accidents that might happen to the flying ferry along the journey.

The old man, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly looked up.

“Hmm?” Kankla sensed the information transmitted by his divine sense, and his originally surprised mood immediately turned to fear. “Danger!!”

He immediately jumped up from the futon on the ground and flew out of the window. In the blink of an eye, he was above the entire flying ferry. At the same time, he took out a magical tool for controlling the flying ferry and activated the Magic Protective Formation with it.

A burst of golden light spread out, and the Protective Formation opened!

“Everyone, a level-6 sea beast is approaching. Please return to the flying ferry immediately!!”

Upon hearing Kankla’s voice ring out from the periphery of the Lost Spirit Sea, the group of Great Magi, who had been focused on searching for medicinal herbs, were all shocked!

“Level-6… level-6 Sea Magical Beast?!”

“Damn! This is too unlucky. It has not even been a day, why has a level-6 magical beast been attracted over?!”

“Hmm?! Hasn’t it been more than a year that a magical beast of level-5 and above had appeared?!”

“Leave quickly! Return to the flying ferry quickly!!”

The Great Magi that had been scattered over the sea region immediately stopped what they were doing and flew back quickly in the direction of the flying ferry without looking back.

After flying for a few seconds, something could be sensed stirring under the calm sea!

The terrifying aura of the magical sea beast instantly swept across an area of dozens of kilometers. Everyone could sense the extremely terrifying existence lurking beneath the surface of the sea—a level-6 magical sea beast!!

Sensing the aura imprint that seemed to have been marked by a ferocious beast, many Great Magi, who were flying quickly back to the flying ferry, fled in panic with pale faces.

It was not just the Great Magi. Even the level-6 Great Archmage, Kankla who was on the flying ferry steering it with his magical control tool had a much uglier expression.

In the periphery of the Lost Spirit Sea, even level-5 magical sea beasts rarely appeared, let alone level-6 magical sea beasts. Now, one had actually appeared!

This level-6 magical sea beast was about the same strength as Kankla, but this was on the sea, equivalent to the home ground of the magical sea beast… He was really not sure if he could protect this flying ferry.
