Chapter 490 Treasure Hunt in the Sea

Ye Ling and Liang Yuzhu tried their best to command the ninth-order giant whale. They sent out divine thoughts several times to ask it to take a detour to Huangsha Island, but it was like playing the lute to a cow. The giant whale seemed not to hear them and just swam to the southeast sea with them on its back.

Liang Yuzhu was worried again, and frowned slightly, saying, "Junior Brother Ye, it seems that the ninth-level giant whale is unwilling to obey our constraints. Where is it going to carry us? Will it be sent to the habitat of the monster birds in the East China Sea?"

Ye Ling groaned, "That won't happen! The giant whale knows very well that it can't eat the top-grade spiritual fruit without me, so how could it sell us out in a blink of an eye? Fortunately, in the East China Sea, apart from the Great Demon Saint and the Seven Great Demon Lords, the ninth-level sea monster is the strongest! Even if we encounter the monster cultivators of the East China Sea along the way, there are ninth-level giant whales to block them for us."

"Oh, I hope so, let it be up to fate." Liang Yuzhu sighed, and she was worried about the giant whale's incomprehensible and the fear of the unknown sea.

However, Ye Ling soon discovered that the giant whale seemed to be very familiar with the sea area in this area. It shuttled around the periphery of the islands of the Xingyan Islands and could always swim in the calm sea water without undercurrents.

Half an hour later, the giant whale swam to the bottom of a sea full of coral islands and reefs. The waves were rippling with colorful brilliance, and there were water spirit grass and water spirit flowers everywhere, which made people dazzled.

The giant whale swung its mountain-sized tail and easily knocked down an island reef covered with seaweed. The colorful rays of light shone from it, which shocked Ye Ling and Liang Yuzhu. They all sent out their consciousness to look under the island reef.

"Seven-color stone marrow! It can be used to temper any magic weapon below the ninth level and improve the quality of the magic weapon."

Liang Yuzhu shouted in surprise and joy. Without thinking much, he jumped off the giant whale's back, used the flying sword to chop and dig, and finally dug out a palm-sized piece of seven-color stone marrow and handed it to Ye Ling.

The giant whale proudly waved its tail, and in its mirror-like whale eyes, it reflected the storage bag behind Ye Ling, looking like it was asking for credit and reward.

Ye Ling did not disappoint it. He opened a storage bag, and thousands of top-grade spiritual fruits flowed out. The giant whale opened its mouth and swallowed them with relish.

Then Ye Ling clapped his right hand, and six more storage bags appeared, which made the whale's eyes eager again.

This time, without waiting for Ye Ling to send out his divine thoughts, the giant whale hurriedly carried them to the eastern waters of Xingyan Islands, scared away the sea monsters there, and found a purple jade-like coral branch for Ye Ling, on which there were several purple coral beads, which could be called top-grade gems inlaid with magic tools.

The two treasure hunts of the giant whale in the sea were all for swallowing top-grade spiritual fruits, which gradually put Liang Yuzhu's mind at ease. He secretly thought that although the giant whale was not easy to control, it could always bring them to the place where the treasures gathered in the sea.

If it were placed on a normal day, treasure hunting in such a vast sea would be like looking for a needle in a haystack! It was a blessing in disguise to have a giant whale that was familiar with the environment take the initiative to help them find it.

Seeing the giant whale so enthusiastically helping them find natural treasures, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel moved. He pointed his fingers in the air, and his spirit transformed into a shape. He drew the pattern of the last of the four medicinal materials for refining the golden elixir, the dragon crystal orchid. At the same time, he raised five storage bags and showed them to the giant whale.

Liang Yuzhu saw the dragon crystal orchid drawn by Ye Ling and praised: "Good idea! Haha, the giant whale has lived in the sea for who knows how many years, and he is knowledgeable. Most of them recognize the dragon crystal orchid."

In the expectation of the two, the giant whale stared with its mirror-like whale eyes, revealing confusion and reminiscence, as if it was thinking hard about something. Suddenly, light burst out from the whale's eyes again! It nodded its hill-like whale head, took the initiative to carry Ye Ling and Liang Yuzhu, and headed straight to the southeast.

Along the way, Ye Ling felt that the giant whale was cutting through the waves and swimming at a very fast speed, and concluded that this journey was not close.

Sure enough, the giant whale carried them for a whole day and had long been out of the scope of the Xingyan Islands, because Ye Ling could hardly see the islands everywhere, only the vast East China Sea where the sea and the sky were the same color.

Early the next morning, Ye Ling sat cross-legged on the back of the giant whale, swallowed the Baimai Lingdan, and practiced daily.

Liang Yuzhu lost interest in the long journey and could not sit still. As the giant whale rose and fell on the sea, he looked at the sky, hoping to meet some sea monsters in the Jindan period and be scared away or swallowed by the ninth-level giant whale.

At this moment, Liang Yuzhu suddenly saw several sword lights flying down from the horizon. She stood up suddenly in shock and pointed from a distance, saying, "Junior Brother Ye! Look, there are sword lights! I don't know which immortal sect's cultivators are from, but they have actually rushed ahead of our Tiandan Immortal Sect and entered the East China Sea."

Ye Ling opened his eyes and looked far away. Sure enough! There were indeed several sword lights flying close to the sea surface, as if they were very afraid of the ninth-level giant whale they were riding on, and they hid far away.

But when Ye Ling looked carefully, they were flying in the same direction as the giant whale, also flying southeast, but their speed was far slower than the giant whale, and they were left behind by the giant whale in the blink of an eye.
