Silent Star Lake, a quiet night with starlight flowing in reverse. This was the origin of Silent Star Lake. On the surface of Silent Star Lake, the sky was filled with twinkling stars. Specks of starlight converged on the surface of the lake, making it particularly dazzling. However, this seemingly flat surface of the lake seemed to be reflected by countless mirrors, forming a unique environment. From afar, it looked as if the starlight had fallen to the ground and flowed in reverse, adding a sense of mystery to this calm lake.
On the calm surface of the lake, a boat was rocking. At the stern of the boat, a barefooted man with a bamboo hat on his back was rowing the boat, making a muffled sound.
At this moment, several people were sitting at a table inside the boat. A middle-aged woman wearing cotton clothes and a wooden hairpin was sitting there. Her black hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck. Her nose was a little wrinkled, but she was still somewhat good-looking. Her cultivation was the highest on the boat, at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment. She sat there silently.
The other two, a pair of grandfather and grandson, were actually familiar to Lu Xiaotian. They were the Zhao Clan's grandfather and grandson, Zhao Yuanjun and Zhao Li. At this time, Zhao Yuanjun was already a first layer Foundation Establishment cultivator. Unexpectedly, his luck was also quite good. To be able to successfully reach Foundation Establishment at such an age was very rare. As for his granddaughter, Zhao Li, she was now a slender and elegant young lady. Both sides cultivated the Breath Concealing Technique, so when they got close, they felt the familiar aura from each other. The Zhao Clan's grandfather and grandson clearly didn't expect to meet Lu Xiaotian here.
There were also three other people. They were a young man wearing brocade clothes and holding a fan, Wu Xing, and his younger sister, Wu Yiyi. There was also a yellow-haired old man who called himself Old Monster Huang. As for the one rowing the boat, he called himself Zuo Xian.
Lu Xiaotian had already arrived at Silent Star Lake for several months. Silent Star Lake was vast and boundless, but its surroundings were desolate and uninhabited. There were very few spirit items here, and even in such a large lake, there were very few monster beasts. The spirit energy was also very thin. In this kind of environment, naturally, very few cultivators were willing to come here. Even the invading foreign cultivators chose to ignore this place. After all, Silent Star Lake didn't have any fighting value. Although the place was large, there was no danger to defend and no spirit items could be used, so occupying it was useless. Moreover, the Moon Gazing Immortal World was even more vast and boundless. Although the foreign cultivators had joined forces from several regions, they could only attack and occupy the key areas. How could they divide their forces everywhere?
Ever since Lu Xiaotian left the Chillywind Valley, he had carefully left the area of activity of the Winged Riders. Only then did he summon the Green Sail and rush all the way to the Silent Star Lake in search of the rumored Silent Star Stone. This search took several months. Not to mention the rumored Silent Star Stone, he couldn't even find a single spirit stone. He even suspected that Su Hongchou was deceiving him, but after thinking about it, Su Hongchou didn't need to deceive a junior like him. Moreover, Lei Wantian was also present at that time. Even if Su Hongchou didn't recognize him as a junior, he still had to consider his old face in the sect.
Lu Xiaotian had been searching until now and only then did he discover that the cultivators on the boat were also looking for the Silent Star Stone. After asking them, he found out that they were only newcomers. Among the cultivators on the boat, the Zhao Clan's grandfather and grandson had stayed the shortest. They had also been searching around the Silent Star Lake for more than three years.
After being invited by the people on the boat, Lu Xiaotian thought that it would be better for him to follow this group of people rather than wander around like a headless fly. Since they were all looking for the Silent Star Stone and had been searching the Silent Star Lake for so many years, they should have some clues. There was strength in numbers. This wasn't something that could be done with a high cultivation level. Sometimes, it also required a bit of luck.
"There is something strange about this lake. I've been rocking for a while and it's getting strenuous. Now, it's your turn." After rocking the boat for a while, Zuo Xian panted and said, "This Silent Star Lake is like a dead lake. You can't even see a few fish here. I don't know how long it will take to find the rumored Silent Star Stone."
With that, Zuo Xian walked over from the back of the boat. He picked up the spirit tea on the table and poured it into a bowl before gulping down a few mouthfuls.
"You've only been running for a short while and you're already exhausted. You're only at the mid Foundation Establishment stage." Old Eccentric Huang mocked, "You're not trying to cheat, are you?"
Zuo Xian chuckled and said, "Alright, if you have the ability, then go ahead and try."
"Fine, I'll try. If I find out that you're slacking off, I'll throw you into the lake." Old Eccentric Huang rolled up his sleeves and walked to the back of the boat. He held the oar with both hands and was about to rock it when he suddenly felt his hands sink. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
The woman with the wooden hairpin asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's indeed a bit strange. The water in the lake seems to have some sort of attractive force. If you want to move the oar, you need some strength. No wonder Zuo Xian can't handle it." Old Eccentric Huang's expression was a bit strange. It was clear that he had just scolded Zuo Xian. Now that he said this, it was no different from slapping himself in the face.
"Is that so? Let me try. "Wu Xing also walked over with great interest.
Everyone who tried it noticed this strange phenomenon. Even Lu Xiaotian found that the water under the boat was incomparably viscous and the boat was moving slower and slower. Among the people present, only Zhao Li was a Qi Condensation cultivator. The others were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. Logically speaking, they didn't need to take a boat. They only needed to fly on magic tools. However, the spiritual Qi in the Silent Star Lake was very thin and there were very few spiritual items nearby. Flying on a sword wasn't a problem for Foundation Establishment cultivators for a short period of time. However, they had already been searching here for two to three years. Some had even been searching for longer. Normally, they needed spirit stones to cultivate. If they constantly flew on a sword, the consumption of spirit stones and magic power was something that even a ninth level Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't handle. Moreover, finding the Silent Star Stone required a lot of luck. It wasn't something that could be found by flying on a sword. Therefore, the group of people had decided to travel together and take turns rowing the boat. With the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could easily row a long distance. Although taking turns to row was much slower than flying on a sword, at least it reduced the consumption. It could be said that they had no other choice.
Lu Xiaotian didn't care about the consumption. However, what he saw was that these people knew more about the Silent Star Lake than he did. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to go alone.
"Could this be the appearance of heavy water and the appearance of star stones?" Zhao Yuanjun looked at the water under the boat, which was clearly a deeper shade of green than the water in the other lakes.
