Chapter 42 Fourth-level Donghu Pearl.

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing pricked up his ears to listen to the direction of the wind.

"What's wrong, young master?" After getting on the boat, Xu Laoba shook the water out of his ears. It was very painful just now.

"Shh, don't make a sound."

Xu Lao Ba was motionless, his face was a little stiff. Could it be that there was something dirty? It shouldn't be that serious, right? I worshipped Donghu Bo during the day, and I, Xu Lao Ba, was very sincere! When I was worshipping, I really didn't think about the lady of the Wang family.

"Go over there." Zhao Xing pointed in a direction. At the same time, Mingmou began to use his magic power to expand the scanning range.

Although there was lake water blocking his view, the water was more than ten meters deep and Zhao Xing could see clearly as long as it was not too turbid.

"Oh oh!" Xu Laoba rowed the boat hard. He didn't dare to ask more questions now. It was obvious that this young man was not the first time to do this. He felt that Zhao Xing was more capable than the river fisherman.

"What on earth is it that the wandering soul is subconsciously avoiding? Cold and bright, these are consistent with the characteristics of the East Lake Pearl. But for the quality of the East Lake Pearl to be able to affect the ghost, it must be at least level three, right?"

Zhao Xing concentrated on casting the spell, his bright eyes never stopping. It was just before the Dingmao hour, when the ghost fortune was at its strongest.

If you can't find it within a quarter of an hour, it will be difficult to find it later.

The so-called good and bad luck. When your luck is strong, you can pick up treasures while walking. When your luck is weak, you can't even recognize a treasure if it falls into your hands.

"If we don't get anything by the second Dingmao time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch it by the third Dingmao time." Zhao Xing picked up a bamboo pole and worked together with Xu Laoba to chase in the direction of the wind.

After rowing hard for half a quarter of an hour, Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up: "Stop!"

At this time, there was a reef deep in the lake. Under the reef was a dead turtle with a light blue bead in its mouth.

Because the reefs grow in an intertwined manner, the pearl cannot be seen from the other three directions on the water surface. Only from the direction where Zhao Xing is can the pearl be seen.

"Turtle? So that's what you mean. I thought it was some gibberish...Xu Lao Ba, how deep can you dive?"

Xu Lao Ba patted his chest and said proudly: "Anyone within thirty meters can be captured easily by me, Xu Lao Ba."

Zhao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, you go into the water from here. After going in about fifteen meters, you will find a reef group that is ten meters square. To the south of the reef, there is an intersection. Go down diagonally three feet and seven inches and you will find the treasure!"

"Okay! Sir, just watch me!" Seeing Zhao Xing so confident, Xu Lao Ba jumped into the water with his hands rubbed.

Zhao Xing was quietly observing on the boat.

Xu Laoba really was not bragging. He dived down easily and found the blue bead in the turtle's mouth easily according to the direction pointed out by Zhao Xing.

Then Xu Lao Ba slowly dived up, and a blue light slowly rippled in the water.

"Young Master, Young Master! There is really a treasure!" Xu Lao Ba was also excited.

"Come up quickly." Zhao Xing quickly pulled him onto the boat.

"Hiss, hiss~" Xu Laoba threw the bead on the boat, and kept breathing after getting up. It was a hot day, but he actually felt a little cold, and it was all because of this bead.

"It's a fourth-grade Donghu Pearl, and an extremely rare Ice Pearl. Its quality... should be considered a fourth-grade mid-quality one?" Zhao Xing picked up the pearl and examined it in his hand.

A chill came over my hands, as if I were holding an ice cube.

Xu Laoba couldn't handle it, but Zhao Xing had no problem with the third level of Juyuan.

"Congratulations, sir! You have obtained a third-level Donghu Pearl." Xu Lao Ba congratulated hurriedly. He could not recognize that it was a fourth-level one and thought it was only a third-level one. After all, he had never seen a fourth-level one in his life.

"I have to thank you for this." Zhao Xing smiled and put the beads away. "I will definitely ask for your reward when I return."

"Thank you, young master." Xu Laoba was delighted. According to the agreement, he did not get any dividends, but the boss was happy to reward him. This was an unexpected gain. As river fishers, it was rare for them to receive rewards, because if it was a sure win, the river fishers would do it themselves, but there was still a great risk of losing money.

"Just this one is enough to make me rich overnight." Zhao Xing said secretly.

The fourth-order Donghu Pearl is a treasure produced by "phase change" and it is possible for it to appear after ten years of phase change. As for the Ice Pearl, it is even rarer and can be sold for at least five hundred taels!
"The fourth-level ice bead has the greatest effect on warriors. It can minimize the damage to the body caused by practicing fire-based techniques or martial arts. It can also be used to assist in the practice of water-based techniques. If the right buyer is found, it is not surprising that the price doubles."

After getting the treasure, Zhao Xing felt much better.

Originally, you could go back after touching the ice bead, but since you are here, there is still a Dingmao time, so don’t miss it. Who would complain about having too much money?
For the next half hour, the ghost's fortune declined.

However, Zhao Xing used his sharp eyes to find more than a dozen first-level Donghu pearls.

Xu Laoba was completely overwhelmed with admiration for Zhao Xing.

Every time we go into the water, we always gain something and never come back empty-handed. Are you convinced?
If I tell this story when I get back, I’m afraid my boss won’t believe it!
…………

Time passed, but Zhao Xing didn't find anything good in the next hour. He only found an earring inlaid with emerald, and he didn't know which noble lady dropped it while on a boat.

"It's worth only seven or eight taels if it's alone and not in pair."

"But we can go back now." Zhao Xing looked at the almanac.

It is already 4:22 am at the hour of Hai. There will be no gain from now on, especially after the hour of Zi. If you still try to make some fortune, you will only bring bad luck.

"Xu Laoba, let's go back." Zhao Xing decided to call it a day.

"Great!" Xu Laoba was also satisfied. Today's performance was enough for him to brag to his companions for a long time when he returned.

"what--"

"Someone fell into the water!"

"Big ship, hurry over there and save people!"

Suddenly, a sound came with the wind. Xu Laoba was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked Zhao Xing: "Sir, it seems that someone fell into the water over there."

"I saw it, but someone has already jumped into the water to rescue the person, so there's no need for us to worry about it."

"That's right. Nine out of ten people in Donghu can swim." Xu Laoba began to row towards the shore.

After passing a grassy bay, we happened to see river lanterns floating by, illuminating the bay.

I saw a small boat parked in Caowan, and a young girl standing on the boat. It was Lin Baiwei whom I had seen before.

Seeing the big ship and the lotus lanterns floating over, she couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Especially the appearance of Zhao Xing and Xu Lao Ba made her feel a little helpless. Because she was soaked, her graceful figure was looming in the reflection of the lotus lantern, and what made her even more worried was that her aunt was still in the water.

If a large ship came and people gathered to watch, it would be a public execution.

"This..." Xu Lao Ba quickly lowered his head and prepared to take a detour.

"No need to go through so much trouble." Zhao Xing stopped him, and then the cloud-walking magic enveloped the entire Caowan, hiding Lin Baiwei and Lin Sanniang together.

"Thank you." A voice as thin as a mosquito came from the wind.

Zhao Xing and Xu Lao Ba went ashore.
