Xu Jun was slightly startled, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, Yu Hui's words suddenly flashed through his mind.
Xu Jun suddenly realized that the benefit of showing the true meaning of water in front of the mermaids was not to make them riotous, but to wait here!
That kid must have discovered some clues through some unknown means.
These mermaids need someone who has comprehended the true meaning of water to do things, so they have something to ask for from him, so that it is convenient to ask for benefits from them.
With a clear sword heart, Xu Jun could sense that the mermaid king in front of him had no malice, but was full of pleading, anxiety, and expectation. With
a slight smile, Xu Jun said: "Excuse me, senior, what is it?"
Bruel hesitated and looked at everyone.
Xu Jun's face straightened and said: "Senior, we humans have a saying that there is nothing that cannot be told to others. I don't want to do anything secretly to hide things from others."
After hearing his words, Dong Yinlin and others felt.
Xu Jun is really an upright and honest man. However, when you think about his identity as a swordsman and the fact that he was able to comprehend the true meaning of water in such a short time, it doesn't seem strange.
Only a person with such a pure and flawless mind can achieve such a level of favor from heaven and earth.
After all, that is the true meaning of the great Dao of heaven and earth. With Xu Jun's realm, as long as there is a flaw in his heart, it will definitely not be touched.
This friend is worth making friends with!
If Xu Jun knew what they were thinking at this time, he would definitely give a thumbs up.
Bruel smiled bitterly, and seeing Xu Jun's resolute eyes, he knew that he could not refuse.
He stretched out his hand and suddenly said, "Leave."
The mermaids around were all startled, but then they swung their tails one by one and left quickly.
Dong Yinlin and others looked at each other, they had not yet completed the exchange.
However, at this time, no one would stop them.
After the mermaids left far away, Bruel said: "Sir Xu Jun, you don't know that over the years, with your help, our mermaids have cleared the first-stage late-stage monsters around the tribe every ten years, which has greatly guaranteed the safety of our people. But... the number of our mermaids has never increased, but has been slowly decreasing."
Xu Jun was startled and looked at Ma Xiangcheng and others.
What's the reason?
Although his strength has become extremely powerful due to his hard work, he has been cultivating for too short a time and knows nothing about many secrets.
However, Ma Xiangcheng and others were also confused and obviously did not understand this matter.
Bruel sighed and said, "Sir Xu Jun, this is the biggest secret of our clan. No one knows it except the five mermaid kings and ten high priests. If you can't solve this problem, I won't disclose it here."
Xu Jun coughed lightly and said, "Please speak."
"The water in the life pool of our mermaid clan's ancestral land has gradually become chaotic and no longer clear due to the passage of time. This is the reason why the fertility of our mermaid clan has declined from generation to generation. And you, who have realized the true meaning of water, are the only hope in our world to restore the purity of the life pool."
Bruel bowed his head deeply and said, "If you are willing to help us restore the purity of the life pool, our clan is willing to give everything!"
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they were all secretly shocked.
The mermaid clan actually had such a hidden danger, no wonder Bruel had to dismiss everyone before he would say it.
However, it is estimated that they are about to leave this world, otherwise the mermaid king would have hesitated for a longer time.
Xu Jun pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, there is one thing I cannot hide." He paused and said, "Actually, I don't have a water spirit root."
"Ah?" Bruel had a strange look on his face. The expression on his face clearly said, don't lie to me. Can you comprehend the true meaning of water without a water spirit root?
You are probably speaking the other way. You have a water spirit root!
Xu Jun shook his head slightly. Why is no one willing to believe him when he tells the truth?
He coughed lightly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask my companions."
Bruel looked at the crowd. Ma Xiangcheng was helpless and stepped forward and said, "Senior Mermaid King, Junior Xu Jun was originally a mortal. He entered the Tao with martial arts and opened the sky with a sword, so he has an acquired sword spirit root."
"Sword spirit root?" Bruel's voice was a little distorted.
Can a sword spirit root comprehend the true meaning of water?
Bruel's eyes seemed to have lost focus. This incident shocked his three views of knowledge so much that he felt that his knowledge system seemed to have collapsed.
However, when his eyes swept over the faces of the human geniuses, Bruer immediately understood that these people were not lying, nor did they deliberately unite to deceive him.
In that moment, it was impossible for everyone to be flawless.
Swallowing hard, Bruer murmured, "You, you are a sword spirit root, then what is the true meaning of water?"
He actually heard Xu Jun say it once, but at that time, he didn't know that Xu Jun was a cultivator who didn't even have a water spirit root.
Therefore, the shock he received was far less intense than that of Dong Yinlin and others.
At this moment, he couldn't help but ask again.
Xu Jun shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said that in order to stay in this environment more comfortably, I felt a little bit, but I didn't expect to feel such a thing."
Bruer listened to this tone that seemed to be a little disgusted, and he felt like a huge stone was blocking his heart, and he almost wanted to perform his ancestral art of breaking the stone with his chest in public.
The corners of the other people's mouths twitched slightly. If they hadn't seen Xu Jun's sincere expression, they would have suspected that this kid was doing it on purpose.
After a long time, Bruel let out a long breath and said, "Sir Xu Jun, how did you comprehend the true meaning of water? That's not important. What's important is that you have comprehended it."
"Really? Senior, are you sure that I, a sword cultivator, can help?"
"I definitely can." Bruel said without hesitation.
Although he was not sure in his heart, after all, this might be the first cultivator who did not have water spiritual roots but could comprehend the true meaning of water.
However, their mermaid clan had no choice.
Could it be that apart from Xu Jun, they still had hope to wait for the second person to comprehend the true meaning of water?
You know, even the late Jindan Zhenren who practiced water-based exercises may not be able to comprehend the true meaning of water.
At most, they were comprehending the great way of water and had some feelings on the great way. But to say that they really comprehended it, except for those top geniuses who had extraordinary opportunities, most of the water-based Yuanying Zhenjun could only listen to the sound of the great way related to his main practice at the moment after successfully advancing to the Yuanying, and then they could grasp the true meaning of this way.
Of course, after the Yuanying level grasps the true meaning, the power that can be released is far beyond the reach of Xu Jun, who is practicing Qi.
However, the true meanings comprehended by these two realms are essentially the same.
One is pure water, and the other is also pure water, but one is a shallow bottle of water, while the other is a full bottle.
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment and looked at Ma Xiangcheng and Wu Mengmei.
After all, this time entering the Guangshui Secret Realm, these two are the main ones. Even if he has agreed in his heart, he still has to pretend.
Sure enough, Ma Xiangcheng and Wu Mengmei were very pleased in their hearts. The little brother still respects us very much.
Although they felt that they seemed to be unworthy of being respected by such a little brother, the happiness in their hearts could not be concealed.
"Ahem, Junior Xu, the mermaids have been friends with our Natural Dao Palace for generations. If you can, please help them."
"Yes, but Lord Bruel, our junior is kind-hearted. You can't bully him. Help is help, but the reward must not be less."
Bruel immediately said, "Don't worry, we will never do anything to let our friends down."
Then, he turned around and sent a voice message to Xu Jun, "Lord Xu Jun, if you can help us restore the purity of the Life Pool, we are willing to give you a hundred royal mermaid tears."
Xu Jun almost couldn't hold back his breath.
A hundred royal mermaid tears?
Damn, are these mermaids so wealthy?
So many students from the Natural Dao Palace come once every ten years, and each time they have to exchange dozens of royal mermaid tears.
The high-level officials of the Natural Dao Palace once estimated that the mermaids must have savings, but definitely not too much.
After all, it takes time and a considerable price for them to obtain the royal mermaid tears.
However, now that I think about it, I still underestimated the mermaids!
Moreover, this Brooke was very sensible and knew how to transmit the message.
In this way, even if Ma Xiangcheng and others guessed that they must have received extra royal mermaid tears as a reward, they would never have thought that the reward would be so generous.
Xu Jun pretended to be silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, I will do my best. But, after the mission is completed, how should I leave?"
Brooke smiled and said: "Don't worry, when you want to leave, we will use the power of the whole clan to open the cross-border transmission array for you alone."
Half a day later, Ma Xiangcheng and others finally completed the handover with the mermaid clan.
Everyone returned to the huge island where they came from with different thoughts and joined other students.
After a huge light, many students left Guangshui Secret Realm.
"Haha, welcome home."
An old-looking teacher said with a big laugh. He swept his consciousness and counted the number of people.
Then, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
Hey, one person is missing?
Missing Xu Jun?
The new martial arts champion who was regarded as the apple of the eye by the principal, the dean of the physical training branch Zhongli Zhili, and the dean of the swordsmanship branch Guan Ziqian?
At this moment, the old man's face changed completely.
"Ma Xiangcheng, where is Xu Jun?" His voice was a little bit broken.
Ma Xiangcheng's face was a little complicated, and he said: "Teacher, junior brother Xu Jun has realized the true meaning of water, and was invited by the mermaid clan to help clean up the life pool."
