Chapter 142 What to do
Shui Lian'er said "Oh" and understood.
Jiang Liqian was very surprised that these young boys were so meticulous. They were indeed talented and brilliant children brought up by aristocratic families.
It’s different from her who can only struggle all the way.
"Sister Li Qian," Song Ziming smiled at Jiang Li Qian and raised the lot he had drawn. "I'm also purple. We're in the same group. Please take good care of me, sister."
Jiang Liqian trembled a little, but didn't say anything in the end.
Forget it. Although Song Ziming is not an easy person to deal with, he is still better than those two people she hates. I just don’t know if they will join her group.
Jiang Liqian waited anxiously for all the draw results to come out.
The good news is that Yun Ruyi is indeed not in the same group with her, she drew orange. The bad news is that Gu Chengxue also drew purple, and is exactly in the same group with her.
Jiang Liqian couldn't openly oppose the result of the draw, so she could only grit her teeth and curse, "Damn God, it has nothing to do with human beings!"
Shui Lian'er was reluctant to separate from Jiang Liqian, and Qin Beiyao was even more reluctant than her, but the result was already known, and the two of them had no choice but to go their separate ways temporarily.
Jiang Liqian followed Song Ziming and others to the purple group. When she saw Gu Chengxue who had already arrived there, she deliberately stood a little further away from him.
The young boy who was about to step forward to say hello froze in his tracks. He could only lower his eyes and silently swallow back the words he was about to say.
Because it was night, their group was illuminated by several pieces of fluoresce placed on the reef. Although the fluorescein had a bright halo, even with only a few pieces, they could see the nearby water surface clearly. But after all, they were only placed on the reef, and the areas they could illuminate were limited. When everyone spread out the skynet in a while, there would inevitably be places that could not be illuminated by the fluorescein's light.
If the night-shining stone could float in the air, the illuminated area would be larger, and they would be able to catch more moonworms in the area of water they were responsible for.
However, apart from being able to illuminate, the night fluorite cannot float by itself, so someone needs to use spiritual power to lift it up.
At that moment, everyone looked at Gu Chengxue, who had the highest cultivation level in the group.
Gu Chengxue did not refuse. In front of everyone, he stepped out and took on this difficult task.
Unexpectedly, he had just taken a step forward when a small figure was one step faster than him, raised his hand and took the initiative to take the job.
"I'll do it. I can be responsible for the night fluorite." Jiang Liqian looked determined and promised that she would not mess it up and would not delay the use of the Fire Spirit Skynet.
Song Ziming kindly asked her, "It's very tiring to multitask. If your spiritual power is insufficient, you might even suffer backlash. Are you really confident?"
Jiang Liqian suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at him.
Didn't he already understand her physical condition? How many bottles and jars of elixirs had she swallowed at Danfeng, convinced by his deception? He knew exactly what her current level of cultivation was, yet he was still pretending to question her, acting like a refined, caring, and thoughtful alchemy immortal.
Hypocrisy, so hypocritical!
"Don't worry, Song Daoyou!
"Even if you are attacked, I will not be attacked."
Song Ziming raised his eyebrows and smiled, then put his arm around Gu Chengxue's shoulder. "That's good. Someone's taking the initiative. It saves Chengxue from having to do it. We can also catch a few more Moonworms. We can't let the other groups outperform us."
Gu Chengxue glanced at Jiang Liqian with a complicated expression. After realizing that she didn't like to see him, he silently pursed his lips and clenched his knuckles in his sleeves.
"In that case, to prevent any lack of coordination when catching the Moonworms, why don't we practice it to improve our rapport?" he suggested.
The disciples present heard this and had no objection.
Firstly, not everyone wants to do the hard work of multitasking; secondly, this is their first time working together, so it would be better to strengthen their tacit understanding in advance than to rush into catching moon bugs without any preparation.
Although Jiang Liqian felt a little bothered, she also knew that they were not herself. Both their proficiency in spiritual arts and their coordination with each other needed more training. As a member of the team, she had an obligation to cooperate.
But when they were standing in line, she and Song Ziming were far apart, not to mention Gu Chengxue.
Song Ziming just thought that the joke just now annoyed her, raised his eyebrows, and didn't think anything of it. However, Gu Chengxue was much more sensitive.
He didn't dare to say how well he knew Fellow Daoist Jiang from the Zhenfeng of the Qiankun Sect, but from her expression and her vague move of avoiding the crowd, he had a hunch - she was going to do something.
And this matter cannot be discovered by others.
He calmly focused his attention on casting the Skynet spiritual technique, only using the corner of his eye to secretly observe her every move.
He was curious about what she was going to do.
The purple team members stood still in the waters in all directions, obeyed the orders, and began to form seals very quickly. While forming seals, Jiang Liqian used the wind spirit technique to lift all the night fluorite into the air, and dispersed them as much as possible without affecting vision, expanding the area of the illuminated waters.
Soon, a fire spirit net grew from a small palm-sized piece to an extremely large one. The swirling flames of scorching light tightly wrapped around the criss-crossing knots like vines. Under the night sky, there was a sea of fire.
The first rehearsal went smoothly.
Strike while the iron is hot, and after a few more drills, everyone returned to the reef, standing or sitting, chatting casually, waiting for the full moon to rise again.
But just by waiting, I finally waited until the night faded and the warm sun shone overhead.
Calculating the time, excluding the strange astronomical phenomena, it is indeed daytime.
It seems that within a day, there is only a short period of less than an hour when the moon is full and you can catch moon bugs.
This fact discouraged the disciples who had been eager to try. They all huddled together with their heads down and threw stones into the lake for fun.
However, Song Ziming and Gu Chengxue were very alert and kept observing the situation around them.
Jiang Liqian felt that there was someone guarding him and he was bored, so he simply closed his eyes and started meditating. However, he did not dare to meditate completely, but left a trace of consciousness outside, so that he could wake up immediately at the slightest disturbance.
Fortunately, the lake was calm and the day gradually turned into a pitch-black night. Everyone waited for a while, and finally a bright moon rose slowly from the horizon. In an instant, the cold moonlight fell from the sky, and it seemed to form crystal clear white frost on the lake surface.
Then the moon bugs that had disappeared without a trace floated out from the Crescent Lake one by one, bathing in the bright moonlight.
"There is no time to lose, let's set up the sky net!" Song Ziming shouted.
Everyone obeyed the order, immediately took their positions, formed spiritual seals, and released the Fire Spirit Sky Net.
