Spirit Fish Treasure

Teng Xiong's physique was majestic, as if cast from molten iron, even in a calm state, he exuded a heavy pressure like an ancient exotic beast.

After all, he was an Other Shore Realm Star Master, and from the Exotic Beast Series at that, the Star Guiding Realm was no different from a child in front of him!

What surprised him even more was how Chen Fusheng, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation, could get such a large fellow?

Judging from the scales, it seemed to be a top-notch tonic that had become a spirit?

Of course, he didn't dare to think of it as a Spirit Fish, nor did he dare to even imagine it.

"Teng Supervisor, good morning."

"Teng Supervisor..."

The sky gradually brightened, and the Outer Sect Disciples got up one after another. Several disciples walking together happened to pass by here, and their expressions changed drastically after greeting him.

"This fish... must weigh at least fifty pounds, right?"

"My goodness, look at how shiny these scales are, definitely not ordinary. I've really opened my eyes today."

"Hey, isn't that Old Huang's grandson, Chen Fusheng?"

The onlookers were shocked, and some came forward wanting to lift the cloth and get a good look.

Chen Fusheng stepped aside, unwillingly saying, "My sister asked me to bring this home, you can't touch it."

"Huang Li!"

The disciple who reached out twitched. Huang Li was a well-known genius beauty in the West Courtyard of the Outer Sect. Although she was far inferior to Mu Zhen, she was still a notable figure.

"Teng Supervisor, I really don't dare to say the price. How about you wait for my sister to return from the Inner Courtyard, and you can discuss the purchase with her?" Chen Fusheng said.

A cold glint flashed in Teng Xiong's eyes. Was he trying to suppress him with Huang Li's name?

He knew that Huang Li had become a Star Master in the Inner Courtyard, and it was rumored that she had a close relationship with the descendant of a big shot in the Star Palace, but what did that have to do with them still living in a dilapidated courtyard?

"I told you to name a price. Do you want me to ask three times?" Teng Xiong's tone was somewhat cold.

"Teng Supervisor, I really don't dare to sell this fish to you privately."

Chen Fusheng suddenly turned around and walked into the courtyard, which shocked the nearby disciples. Who didn't know Teng Xiong's nature? To challenge him? He could forget about eating in the Outer Sect for the rest of his life!

Some sneered inwardly, how much money could Teng Xiong give? He was clearly trying to seize it by trickery.

There were also disciples who had been struggling in the Outer Courtyard for more than ten years who shook their heads. A newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, but Chen Fusheng's future was destined to be difficult.

Teng Xiong was not only the Dining Hall Supervisor, but also a Star Official. To go against the master was simply courting death, wasn't it?

"Heh, it seems your wings have really hardened."

Teng Xiong strode towards the courtyard, his Qi Sea erupting with a thunderous tiger's roar. The entire courtyard was shaking slightly.

The disciples watching from outside the door were terrified. Teng Xiong was a fourth-grade Ferocious Tiger Series Other Shore Realm Star Master.

Even if Chen Fusheng was secretly cultivating the Evil Tiger Diagram, Teng Xiong was more like a man-eating demon beast, his cold gaze choosing whom to devour.

Chen Fusheng silently turned around, looking at the man standing in the courtyard, coincidentally standing where Teng Lin had died!

"Is there an earthquake?"

Inside the room, Lei San hurriedly looked out the window.

Teng Xiong's cruel gaze turned back to look at the disciples blocking the doorway.

"Hurry, leave quickly..." These disciples turned and ran almost simultaneously.

"Heh, can buying something lead to bloodshed?" Teng Xiong smiled grimly.

Lei San ran out. What was he going to do?

"Following your instructions, is this a blatant robbery of an Outer Sect Disciple's private wealth?" Chen Fusheng raised his eyes and asked indifferently.

"What if it is a blatant robbery?"

Teng Xiong was completely enraged. Was it just about eating a fish?

Even if the matter spread, he would only receive some punishment. The academy wouldn't severely punish him for the sake of an Outer Sect Disciple.

But Teng Xiong didn't want to be punished for such a trivial matter, and he hadn't expected Chen Fusheng to dare to refuse him again and again.

"My sister will be here at noon. Can't you wait a little while?" Chen Fusheng tried his best to control his emotions.

"Do you think I believe this fish is from Huang Li?" Teng Xiong was unscrupulous, his behavior becoming increasingly unsightly, almost to the point of forcibly snatching it.

Chen Fusheng suddenly said, "Oh, right, Miss Mu Zhen will also be coming later."

Teng Xiong was stunned. Could he even talk to Mu Zhen? He didn't believe it.

"Lei San, take a trip and invite Miss Mu Zhen here," Chen Fusheng said, turning his head.

Lei San's mind was in a whirl. That was Mu Zhen, the dream lover of countless disciples. Was Chen Fusheng familiar with her? Could he even get her to come?

Teng Xiong's face was gloomy. Mu Zhen was the direct daughter of a top-tier wealthy family in Tian Yuan City, and her clan had powerful figures who were big shots in the Star Palace. In front of such people, he was just a nobody.

He really didn't dare to gamble on whether Chen Fusheng knew Mu Zhen or not, but where would he put his face if he just left like this?

"Hahaha, what wind has blown Supervisor Teng here!"

A loud voice suddenly came.

Wang Lie strode into the courtyard, full of vigor, his Qi Sea boiling with nine layers of radiance, causing the distant onlookers to be shocked.

Wang Lie's arms were emitting a faint golden glow, the Vajra Fist was in motion, and his aura was even more powerful and terrifying.

"Hey Fusheng, where have you been these past few days? Have you refined the Heart Source Pill that Mu Zhen gave you? Liu Bai has already prepared the treasure ship and fishing nets. Our four-person team can regroup and venture into the Black River!"

Wang Lie's voice was very loud, instantly stunning all the disciples. Mu Zhen, Heart Source Pill...

And Liu Bai, who had latched onto the thick thigh of an Inner Courtyard senior sister, living off her and acting arrogant all day long.

"Haha, Supervisor Teng, you probably don't know yet? There were changes in the outer reaches of the Black River a few days ago. We happened to follow the Ebony Treasure Ship and took advantage of the chaos, getting about ten Silver Moon Treasure Fish. With this, my resources for breaking through to the Other Shore Realm Star Master in the Star Palace are secured!"

Wang Lie's voice grew louder and louder, and his confidence grew higher and higher. He no longer had any fear of Teng Xiong.

Teng Xiong's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Then I really congratulate you."

"Same to you, same to you. When I successfully break through, I'll throw a big banquet. Please honor us with your presence then."

Wang Lie laughed, "Let's not talk here, please come inside quickly."

"I have other matters."

Teng Xiong left with a cold face, even more furious inside. Even his son, Teng Lin, couldn't climb onto Mu Zhen's high branch, so why should this little trash fish?

Seeing Teng Xiong walking away, Chen Fusheng's mood became even more depressed.

If I had her cultivation, what would Teng Xiong be? Chen Fusheng first thought of Han Yu Rou, his fists clenching tightly.

Wang Lie closed the courtyard door, the smile on his face disappearing. "Fusheng, it's just a fish, is it worth going against him?"

Wang Lie felt that Chen Fusheng was getting carried away!

A man must bow his head under the eaves. With Teng Xiong's strength and status, he probably couldn't withstand even a small move in the dark.

Sometimes, suffering a loss is truly a blessing, better than losing your life. Especially since hundreds of Outer Sect Disciples go missing every year, and the Star Palace wouldn't investigate deeply.

"Brother Lie, I have my reasons." Chen Fusheng unloaded the burden.

"You kid, although he won't dare to touch you in the near future, it will be hard to say later. If you ask me, you should find a way to invite Mu Zhen over and give Teng Xiong a good shock."

Wang Lie also asked in surprise, "Where did you get this fish?"

He casually lifted his robe and then squatted on the ground.

Wang Lie held his head in his hands, scratching his scalp fiercely, his whole body trembling.

Then, with a buzz in his head, he flipped over and jumped onto the wall, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Fortunately, everyone was gone!

Chen Fusheng kept watching Wang Lie, not because he didn't trust him, but the value of a top-grade Spirit Fish was simply too outrageous...

Wang Lie jumped down from the wall. Except for the scales on its tail, the rest of the Spirit Fish was emitting a golden halo, incomparably gorgeous. If it weren't for the robe covering it, Teng Xiong would have dared to kill them all and snatch it away!

"A heavily injured top-grade Spirit Fish? Am I dreaming?" Wang Lie muttered like an idiot.

"Perhaps it really is a dream." Chen Fusheng chuckled.

"Cough cough..."

Old Huang slowly walked over, glanced at the Spirit Fish, and then his gaze fixed on the golden spots on the Spirit Fish's head.

"Grandpa, why did you get out of bed?" Chen Fusheng quickly supported him.

"I'm fine, go move the Spirit Fish to the stove."

Among the rooms in the small courtyard, the kitchen was the largest, with hundreds of different kinds of cooking utensils alone.

Lei San volunteered to kill the fish, but he couldn't even cut it open. The scales were harder than stone.

"Wang Lie, go cut open the fish's belly." Old Huang instructed.

Wang Lie chose a bone-cutting knife, held the fish's head with one hand, and used all his strength to insert the bone knife into the fish's belly, slowly cutting it open.

"Old Master, this knife is really sharp, forged from fine steel, right?" Wang Lie was secretly shocked.

"You guys go wait outside."

Huang Tiancheng's words darkened Wang Lie's face; he had wanted to stay here to observe the cooking skills.

Bang!

As the door closed, Huang Tiancheng's large hand reached into the fish's belly, groping back and forth, and soon his two fingers pinched out a yellow jade-like bead.

"A top-grade Spirit Fish that failed to evolve once; the Fish Treasure is probably a thousand years old."

A smile appeared on Huang Tiancheng's old face. The value of this item exceeded that of a top-grade Spirit Fish several times over, and it was worth half a Silver Moon Fish King!

Few people knew that if a Silver Moon Fish failed to evolve, golden spots would appear on its head.

The Spirit Fish relied on these spots to absorb the essence of the great sun, thus cultivating a Fish Treasure in its body, equivalent to a demon beast's demon core!

A demon core was like a Star Master's Qi Sea, and a Fish Treasure was an even rarer treasure for storing essence, a top-grade treasure in the Black River of ten thousand miles!

Not to mention the Other Shore Realm, it was of extremely high help to Spirit Roaming Star Masters.

At that moment, Huang Tiancheng pushed the door open and slowly instructed, "Fusheng, go and heal your injuries. Lei San, go and invite Wang Dapang. Wang Lie, you grind the ink and write down some prescriptions."

"Why invite him?"

Lei San was one hundred and eighty times unwilling. Wang Dapang usually treated them too harshly. The only thing that could be said in his favor was that, unlike Teng Lin, he never deducted their monthly salaries.

Wang Lie hesitated, should such things not be said to outsiders?

"Just go, I have my own decisions."

Over the years, Wang Dapang's resentment towards him was nothing more than the position of head chef, but Huang Tiancheng knew his inner knot very well.

Top-grade Treasure Fish could not only promote the growth of Star Masters, but also improve their physique and the quality of Qi Sea energy, which was of great significance for breaking through to the Other Shore Realm!

But wanting to cook top-grade Spirit Fish? Wang Lie was not qualified yet, nor was he in his seriously injured state.

Lei San ran all the way to the Dining Hall, and Wang Dapang dawdled, extremely unwilling to grace them with his presence.

He entered the house and looked at the silent Huang Tiancheng, raised his chin with extreme aloofness, and had an arrogant look on his face. Anyone who didn't know would have thought they owed him thousands of Star Stones.

"What's wrong, Master Wang?"

Wang Lie was so angry that he slammed the table. No matter what, Huang Tiancheng was considered his elder, and he didn't even have the most basic etiquette?

And now that the opportunity was given to him, he didn't want it?

In Wang Lie's view, if a person couldn't seize such an opportunity, there would be no chance of rising again in the future, or it might be that Wang Dapang simply didn't have it in his fate.

"Are you questioning me?" Wang Dapang was annoyed. How dare this Wang Lie bristle at him? He wouldn't be able to eat in the future!

"If you don't want to come, leave quickly."

Wang Lie didn't indulge him. Their cultivation levels were comparable, and Wang Dapang was almost forty years old, with no hope of reaching the Other Shore Realm in his lifetime!

Moreover, Wang Dapang's father and ancestors were all servants of the Star Gazing Manor. He had no background or backing. If he hadn't worked hard to hone his cooking skills, how could he have his current status?

"Okay, okay, you invited me here, and this is your way of treating guests. It's really absurd. This feud is settled!"

Wang Dapang left harsh words, just turned around, and the corner of his eye noticed the stove in the kitchen.

He walked over like a puppet, blank and silly.

After a good while, Wang Dapang walked over tremblingly, gave Huang Tiancheng a deep bow, and asked with utmost respect, "Master Wang, what do you need me to do?"
