Who Was Weak and Who Was Strong Had Yet to Be Seen
"Young friend, you haven't even figured out what's so special about the treasure you fished out of the pool, how could you so carelessly discard it?"
Venerable Huangchuan's inner monologue was: If you don't want it, you can give it to me!
Chen Ning had already learned about the necklace through the Hammer of Appraisal.
It's just an ordinary necklace.
At most, it will only make the wearer's cultivation speed a little faster.
It's useless to him.
"Sir, don't be so startled. You're going to scare my fish away."
Chen Ning spun his club again.
Venerable Huangchuan then lowered himself and said, "Young friend, it seems you don't know much about the Sun and Moon Divine Pool. Let me tell you about it."
"You can speak, but keep your voice down."
Chen Ning a friendly reminder.
Venerable Huangchuan then spoke, "Eight thousand years ago, this place was the territory of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect. However, due to the infiltration of many spies, it fell into disarray and ultimately perished, with the entire sect destroyed."
Upon hearing this...
Chen Ning was no longer sleepy.
From this perspective, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect is actually a predecessor of the Dragon-Seeking Sect.
"And then what happened...?"
"Later, this place became a forbidden area. It is said that the Sun and Moon Divine Sect's most potent poisonous Law Treasure leaked, forming this pool of water, which conceals countless treasures once belonging to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect."
Venerable Huangchuan began to explain in detail.
Chen Ning learned this.
So this Sun and Moon Divine Pool has such a history.
"Young friend, what I've told you all this is to tell you that this pool is full of treasures. You have such a powerful weapon that can ignore the corrosive water, so you mustn't waste it. Besides, how could there be fish in this highly poisonous pool?"
Before he could finish speaking...
Chen Ning's master-level fishing rod made a sound again.
Finish fishing.
A blue fish was caught.
Venerable Huangchuan's face immediately darkened.
The slap in the face came so quickly.
Caught off guard!
The Hammer of Appraisal can be used to authenticate more than just objects.
It can even identify fish.
Soon.
Information about the blue fish appeared before Chen Ning's eyes.
[Chaos Fish: A unique creature capable of surviving in any environment. Consuming it allows one to comprehend a trace of the Daoist principles governing the Chaos Fish's habitat.]
[After taking it, one can comprehend a trace of the Dao of Poison Dao.]
Chen Ning's eyes lit up, and he put the fish into his storage ring.
Although I didn't catch the Chaos Fish King.
But this fish is also a rare and valuable delicacy.
Taking one dose allows one to comprehend a trace of the Dao.
For those who cultivate the Poison Dao, it is the most precious thing.
What if there were enough Chaos Fish?
Does this mean one can directly comprehend the Poison Dao?
Chen Ning didn't think much of it.
He spun his club again.
Currently, I only possess two paths.
Sword Dao.
The Dao of Music.
Although proficient in other methods.
But he has not yet grasped the essence of the Dao.
Only the Way of the Sword Dao and the Dao of Music have comprehended the essence of the Dao and attained the realm of the Great Dao.
If he could gain further insight into the Poison Dao, he would become even stronger.
The prestige of being promoted to Martial Venerable will be even higher.
So!
This Chaos Fish!
Chen Ning will catch as many fish as there are today!
Venerable Huangchuan, having been proven wrong, stopped arguing.
Instead, he watched intently as Chen Ning caught the Chaos Fish one by one.
The more he looked, the deeper the shock in his eyes became.
I never expected that!
There are even Chaos Fish in the Sun and Moon Divine Pool!
Those are creatures that only appear in ancient books.
Moreover, this young man has made several achievements in a short period of time.
We've caught seven already!
Venerable Huangchuan looked on with a hint of envy.
If you don't watch it, you won't feel sour!
At this moment.
Chen Ning suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from the fishing rod.
This force is much greater than that of the Chaos Fish.
This is far from ordinary.
Chen Ning's eyes lit up; this was very likely the Chaos Fish King.
Then.
On his right arm, the Qilin Profound Power surged.
On his left hand, an overbearing and lawless True Essence Power flowed.
The fishing line was pulled out of the water.
A Chaos Fish King, three times the size of an ordinary Chaos Fish, appeared before them.
Even after reaching the ground.
The Chaos Fish King still possesses boundless vitality.
Chen Ning stretched out his hand and pulled it towards him.
The identification information also came to light.
[Chaos Fish King: Extremely rare, only one in a thousand Chaos Fish will appear. Consuming it will grant one a hundred times the Dao Intent of an ordinary Chaos Fish.]
That's great!
Chen Ning smiled and tossed the Fish King into his storage ring.
The task is complete. Now all that's left is to wait for the task results to be processed.
After putting away his fishing rod, Chen Ning turned to leave.
At this moment.
Venerable Huangchuan suddenly spoke up, "Young friend, I have a favor to ask."
"Sir, please speak," Chen Ning said kindly.
"I have a Law Artifact that I accidentally dropped into the pool. May I borrow your fishing rod to retrieve it, and then return it to you? What do you say?"
"Old man, did you drop a gold Law Artifact, a silver Law Artifact, or perhaps one of those broken and rotten wooden Law Artifact?"
Venerable Huangchuan was stunned for a long time.
Chen Ning laughed and said, "Just kidding."
Then, he cast the master-level fishing rod toward Venerable Huangchuan.
Venerable Huangchuan received it.
He immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much, young friend. I will return the Law Artifact to you as soon as I have retrieved it."
Then.
He began casting his rod into the pool.
Chen Ning then used this time.
He began to unleash the power of the Fire God Seal, roasting a Chaos Fish.
The best part is that the ingredients are often prepared using the simplest cooking methods.
After consumption.
Sure enough, I vaguely sensed a Poison Dao.
But that's not enough.
It would be better to just cook the Chaos Fish King.
Just as Chen Ning was cooking.
Venerable Huangchuan's face also lit up with joy.
A bronze token was fished up.
"Young friend, here's your fishing rod back. Thank you so much for today."
Venerable Huangchuan handed the fishing rod back to Chen Ning.
His old face was beaming with joy.
Then.
He then prepared to leave.
But at this moment...
Chen Ning spoke calmly, "Old man, are you in such a hurry to leave because you've done something wrong?"
This question was raised.
Venerable Huangchuan's face darkened.
He turned around. "Young friend, what did you say? I don't understand."
Chen Ning gripped the fishing rod in his right hand, and the next moment...
The fishing rod was crushed to pieces.
This is not Chen Ning's fishing rod at all.
Venerable Huangchuan's methods of forgery are highly sophisticated.
But Chen Ning possesses the Hammer of Appraisal.
Before him, there was nowhere to hide.
"I had initially thought that since you had helped me, I might spare your life, but you were too foolish to point it out yourself. Since you wish to die, then I will grant your wish."
Venerable Huangchuan unleashed his aura.
He was a Three-Star Martial Venerable!
"You've got some nerve! You got caught taking someone's things, and you're still this shameless. I've never seen anything like it before. I'm truly impressed!" Chen Ning said with admiration.
"The Principle of the jungle is the survival of the fittest. It's rare for me to have a moment of mercy and spare your life, only wanting your treasure. Who knew you would run into this mess yourself?"
Venerable Huangchuan snorted coldly.
To carry the spirit of shamelessness to the very end.
Chen Ning slowly finished the last bite of the Chaos Fish King's flesh and said, "The law of the jungle prevails, that's true, but who is weak and who is strong? That's still unknown!"
