Expert

Chen Fusheng's mind was somewhat blank. The old man was fishing for a Flood Dragon??

And what the hell was Dragon Seeking Bait? Could it lure a Flood Dragon over to be caught?

That was a Flood Dragon, after all, with a cultivation base that reached the heavens and the earth. What was a Third Realm Star Master in front of a Flood Dragon? But this old man actually wanted to fish for a Flood Dragon...

An expert, definitely an expert!

Chen Fusheng glanced at the Purple Gold Bamboo Pole the old man was holding. Terrifying and complex patterns were faintly visible, and he could vaguely sense a terrifying substance inside.

He was shocked and silent, recalling the Abyss Realm structure Huang Tiancheng had described to him. Countless kingdoms, countless Star Palaces, what was their little corner of the world?

Wang Lie's lifelong pursuit was to become an Other Shore Realm cultivator, achieve the rank of Star Official in the future, marry a wife, settle down, and live a carefree life.

But there were people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

The thin old man casually tossed the Treasure Turtle onto the bamboo raft, turned around, and looked at the superb Spirit Fish, saying, "If raised for a hundred years, there's still hope for extreme leaping. Young friend, I'm willing to trade the Treasure Turtle for the Spirit Fish."

Chen Fusheng was a little embarrassed, but he still said, "Since senior needs it, this junior will naturally comply."

"What's with your tone? You don't seem happy about it?"

The white-skirted woman glanced at the drenched chicken in front of her, covered in flesh wounds. It seemed this was a cultivator from the lowest rung.

"The value of the Spirit Fish surpasses that of the Treasure Turtle, but if we hadn't helped you just now, could you have brought it up?" the white-skirted woman said coldly.

"This junior wouldn't dare to be unhappy. Miss has misunderstood me. Also, I forgot to thank this big brother for his righteous help just now."

Chen Fusheng cursed inwardly. Without you, I could have brought it up just the same.

"I am a woman." The ghostly shadow emitted a somewhat hoarse voice.

Chen Fusheng's body stiffened, and he quickly offered an apologetic smile, "Sister, please don't blame me. It's just that this little one's eyesight is poor, and I'm not fortunate enough to see sister's celestial face."

"Stop with the glib tongue and trying to get close!" Han Yu Rou's face was frosty.

Chen Fusheng swallowed his anger, thinking, I didn't even provoke her!

"Young friend, you're just starting on the path of cultivation, yet you were able to entangle with a superb Spirit Fish in the water for so long. Yu Rou, you're at the Star Guiding Realm, but you don't have the courage to go into the Black River and fight this big guy."

The thin old man smiled faintly, which made Han Yu Rou unhappy, "Grandpa, that's not right. When it comes to physical strength, who am I afraid of?"

The thin old man smiled without saying a word. Just now, Chen Fusheng had a ruthless energy, willing to perish together with the Spirit Fish. Such courage couldn't be achieved with words alone.

This mortal world never lacked super geniuses, but such courage was definitely not something everyone could cultivate.

Also, the skills he used to fight in the water just now, the combination of strength and flexibility in his physique, must have been honed for many years, making him feel a sense of cherishing talent.

It's just... The thin old man looked at Chen Fusheng's foundation. If he were at the Other Shore Realm at this age, he would be worth nurturing, but fifteen years old at the Star Guiding Realm was a bit too old.

He also saw that Chen Fusheng did not have a congenital treasure physique.

"Meeting is fate. Young friend, take your spoils and go ashore."

"Thank you, senior!" Chen Fusheng was overjoyed upon hearing this. An expert was still an expert, not even looking at the superb Spirit Fish!

He was surprised to find that the bamboo raft had reached the shore. This speed was outrageous...

At this time, it was still dark, and there weren't many people by the riverbank. Chen Fusheng endured the pain in his body and carried the Spirit Fish on his shoulder.

"Grandpa, this Spirit Fish can evolve into a Fish King, how could you..."

Han Yu Rou's beautiful face showed dissatisfaction, then she looked at Chen Fusheng, "Hey, kid, you're being a bit ungrateful. I told you to leave, and you actually didn't? Fine, I'll give you three thousand Star Stones as compensation, leave the Spirit Fish for me."

"Senior, I will never forget your help just now. How about I cut off a piece of the fish tail for you to make fish soup?" Chen Fusheng turned to look at the old man.

"Who wants to drink that stuff? You wouldn't be trying to take advantage of us, would you? Don't think we're easy to talk to."

Han Yu Rou was impatient, and an indescribable wave spread from her body.

The vast Black River seemed to explode, the white-clothed girl looked holy, suspended in the Nine Heavens, with an incomparably sharp and terrifying aura.

What level of cultivation is this?

This girl is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her strength is simply heaven-defying!

She even resembled a towering sword, with a peerless elegance that could tear the firmament. Sword light rolled between her starry eyes, vast and mighty, becoming increasingly turbulent.

This kind of change in temperament was truly unbearable to look at directly. Chen Fusheng was filled with shock, like an ant looking up at a dragon.

"She's actually a Divine Weapon Series Star Master!"

Chen Fusheng clenched his fists, a Divine Weapon Series Sword Series Star Master!

Star Master professions are diverse. The Other Shore Realm can be seen through the natal stars they communicate with, and the Spirit Roaming realm can erupt with substantial phenomena.

The Divine Weapon Series is a profession with unparalleled attack power, with weapon forms such as hammers, axes, knives, swords, shields, and armor!

There are also other professions such as the Five Elements Series, Exotic Beast Series, Constellation Series, Sun and Moon Series, Physique Series, Beast Taming Series, Formation Series, Illusion Series, Soul Series, and so on.

The Star Master profession definitely depends on the state of the natal star.

Chen Fusheng understood that even the weakest Sword Series Star was a sixth-grade sequence, so she likely was a Heavenly Star Master!

"Yu Rou, when did you learn to bully the weak?"

The thin old man sternly rebuked, "You have a good fate, but that doesn't mean you can Manifest Divinity. The Abyss Realm is so complex, with countless capable people and strange individuals. Put away your bad habits!"

While he was saying these words, Chen Fusheng had already been moved ashore by the thin old man's large sleeve.

"Grandpa, I, I didn't do anything just now. Wasn't I just worried about your injuries? I didn't want to do anything to him."

Han Yu Rou said somewhat aggrieved, "Also, Manifest Divinity? Grandpa, your expectations of me are really high."

"Having talent but no heart, what's the difference between you and someone who is poor but has no ambition?" The old man said angrily.

Han Yu Rou pitifully said, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong, please don't scold me anymore."

The old man sighed and said, "Alright, my injuries aren't that serious. The Cold Abyss Poison is only thirty percent, it won't kill me. Speaking of which, even the top Silver Moon Fish King can't cure it completely."

"Unless..."

A flash of lightning flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said coldly, "The Abyss Realm Saint Star reappears!"

The ghost guard said, "Lord, in ancient times, the Abyss Realm's only Saint Star fell with the Abyss Realm Supreme. Will the Saint Star really have a day to reappear?"

"I'll ask the heavens later to see if there's an answer."

"..." Han Yu Rou.

Did she also know that the Abyss Realm Saint Star reappearing was just a legend?

Back then, the Abyss Realm was fragmented due to the ancient war, and the highest Saint Star was destroyed along with it. Currently, the Abyss Realm respects Dao Star Masters.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and even these experts have been unable to find the Saint Star. It seems that the Abyss Realm will no longer have a master of the stars.

"My lord, we have arrived in the Tian Yuan Kingdom territory. Should we, as usual, inform the Star Palace to investigate those suffering from Cold Abyss Poison?"

"Go and verify it as soon as possible."

The thin old man's deep pupils looked down at the vast rivers and mountains. After ten years of effort, traveling all over the Abyss Realm, his patience was running out.

On the river bank, taking advantage of the darkness, Chen Fusheng quickly found his clothes.

Without even bothering to heal his injuries, he wrapped the half-dead, top-grade Spirit Fish in his robe, and carried it back to the Star Gazing Manor as quickly as possible.

How could he dare to go through the main gate? He ran all the way up the mountain along the path behind the mountain, his emotions inevitably tense.

A top-grade Spirit Fish weighing fifty pounds! If even a little bit of news leaked out, it would be a fatal disaster.

As he approached the East Courtyard and heard the sound of a rooster crowing, Chen Fusheng couldn't help but slow down. After a little thought, he prepared to find a place to hide the Spirit Fish and come back to take it away at night.

But after thinking it over, Chen Fusheng was really worried, so he grabbed a green vine and tied the Treasure Fish to his waist.

Chen Fusheng quickly returned home. Looking at the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, as he was about to approach, his heart suddenly jumped. For a moment, he wanted to turn around and leave, but in an instant, he calmed down and continued to walk forward.

The sky was slightly white, and a burly middle-aged man happened to be walking towards the gate of his courtyard.

Teng Supervisor turned his head, looked at the embarrassed young man walking from afar, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

"Teng Supervisor, why did you come in person? Oh, right, I went to find you a few days ago, but you weren't in the Outer Gate Hall." Chen Fusheng greeted him with a smile.

Teng Supervisor looked at the tattered treasure clothes Chen Fusheng was wearing, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Coincidentally, the top-grade Treasure Fish suddenly twitched its tail, and some fish scales cut through the robe.

The strange look in Teng Supervisor's eyes became even stronger. The fish scales on the tail were silvery and bright, and they looked extraordinary.

"Teng Supervisor, please come inside quickly." Chen Fusheng opened the courtyard door. He could only gamble that Teng Supervisor had not recognized that this was a Spirit Fish.

Also, the Spirit Fish's life was in danger, and it didn't have strong vital signs, otherwise, without even looking, Teng Supervisor would know what was wrapped in his robe.

Teng Supervisor stopped in place, motionless. From those deep and cold pupils, Chen Fusheng discerned a kind of greed.

He was in big trouble. Usually, Teng Supervisor relied on his cultivation to act domineering in the Outer Sect, wishing he could squeeze oil out of stones. How could he let go of such a good thing?

"Chen boy, this fish weighs at least fifty pounds. It's a rare thing."

Teng Supervisor said indifferently, "I'll take it. Name your price."

"What price? I'll definitely cut off ten or so pounds and send it to your house later." Chen Fusheng smiled nonchalantly.

"I said, name your price!"
