"The commotion is getting bigger and bigger. The battle between the Ebony Treasure Ship and the demon horde is a rare sight, but unfortunately, we can only watch from afar."
The treasure ship has already retreated to the Hundred Li River Domain. Even so, monstrous waves rage, and all kinds of terrifying roars frequently echo through the night sky.
The battleground river domain's weather is reversed, with torrential rain and starlight filling the sky. The murderous aura surges and stirs, clearly indicating a heated battle has broken out.
Chen Fusheng's mood is heavy. The distance is too great, and the Spirit Snake Diagram cannot sense anything!
Unwilling to give up, he continues to stir the river water, suddenly discovering dozens of layers of demonic aura approaching the Hundred Li River Domain.
"Look quickly, the battle storm is approaching us, retreat immediately."
Wang Lie observed and said, "The storm is so large that it will probably attract other competitors. It seems that this matter will spread throughout the Star Gazing Manor and shake Tian Yuan City tomorrow!"
The turmoil in the Hundred Li River Domain is destined to bring disaster. The Ebony Treasure Ship chases the Silver Moon Fish Shoal, and dozens of demon beasts drive the waves to attack, many fishermen are destined to be buried in the Black River.
No matter how big the waves are, the Spirit Snake Diagram continues to provide Chen Fusheng with precise perception.
At this moment, he discovers that in the center of the Silver Moon Fish Shoal, within the battle storm approaching him, there is a wave that makes him tremble.
To be precise, this wisp of fluctuation is slowly recovering!
According to Mu Zhen's words, it is extremely difficult for a top-grade Spirit Fish to evolve into a King Fish, requiring a long period of dormancy and accumulation before it can finally leap over the dragon gate.
Its restrained vitality is now released, it must be the leader of the fish shoal, then it is a top-grade Spirit Fish!
However, the Silver Moon Fish Shoal is about to be scattered by the pursuers, and those demon beasts are attacking like crazy, tearing and biting, extremely brutal.
"The demon beasts are intelligent, they must know they can't beat the Ebony Treasure Ship, so they attack and swallow the Spirit Fish in advance, while the Ebony Treasure Ship has not gone crazy, obviously preparing to wait for its evolution."
Chen Fusheng looked up at the sky. There is still half an hour before the Sun Star comes out. It seems that the Spirit Fish's evolution is destined to fail.
"Roar..."
In the place of slaughter, a muffled roar is heard, dozens of demon beasts scatter the fish shoal, and open their bloody mouths, devouring towards the recovering giant fish!
Even fighting each other, refusing to give way.
Chen Fusheng felt another terrifying wave. This is the attack of the Ebony Treasure Ship unfolding, the energy amplitude of the ejection shakes the Hundred Li Black River, and more than ten Other Shore Realm Star Masters launch a fierce attack.
Rumble!
The black mist explodes, the Ebony Treasure Ship suppresses the river domain with a terrifying throughput, and there is also a giant net woven from gold silk, covering a hundred zhang radius, falling down in unison.
"The fish shoal leader is going crazy, its vitality is so terrifying!"
Chen Fusheng clenched his fists. The life characteristics of the top-grade Spirit Fish exceed the capabilities of any demon beast, and a flick of its tail can slap an Other Shore Realm Star Master to death!
However, the Spirit Fish cannot fight for a long time, and its aura quickly peaks and then declines, the long accumulation is thus reduced to nothing.
"Hmm?"
Chen Fusheng thought that the Spirit Fish was about to be pulled away by the giant net, but who knew that its speed soared infinitely, and with a whoosh, it rapidly fled away, actually abandoning the fish shoal and escaping!
Even this speed is so powerful that the Spirit Snake Diagram could not lock onto it.
"Even if it can't escape, it will fall into the hands of the Ebony Treasure Ship. I originally thought of trading a piece of precious meat with the Silver Moon Fish, but it seems there is no hope."
But what surprised Chen Fusheng was that the Ebony Treasure Ship did not pursue the top-grade Spirit Fish?
"It seems the treasure ship didn't lock onto the Spirit Fish's trail. No, it escaped to the outer reaches of the Hundred Li River Domain!" Chen Fusheng's heart raced.
"Calm down, calm down. In my current state, even if the Spirit Fish is severely injured, I definitely can't catch it."
Chen Fusheng was still a little frustrated; a heaven-sent opportunity, lost within reach.
Immediately, he noticed more than a dozen treasure ships rapidly approaching the battlefield. Clearly, what happened here had alarmed the Black River shore.
Wang Lie and the others could only stare blankly. In the current situation, they could take advantage of the chaos to get a share, but without a fishing net, what could they do?
"Even if we intervene, we won't be able to compete with them. On the contrary..."
Wang Lie originally wanted to say they would be asking for trouble, but since Mu Zhen was on the ship, she could always put in a word.
"The three-hundred-Li Black River trip is finally over!"
As the treasure ship docked, Wang Lie sat down and patted Chen Fusheng's shoulder, relieved.
With his accumulation combined with the Silver Moon Fish he obtained, entering the Inner Courtyard in the future... was no longer a dream!
"Fusheng, with your current cultivation level, it's better to sell the Spirit Fish and trade it for cultivation resources," Wang Lie said.
"Do you need my help?"
Liu Bai asked with enthusiasm. Chen Fusheng took the two largest of the nine Silver Moon Fish, worth about five thousand Star Stones in total, equivalent to ten lifetimes of harvest for a fisherman.
"I want to trade for three Fire Essence Pills!" Chen Fusheng said.
"You..." Wang Lie was about to speak but fell silent. Fire Essence Pills could cure cold poison...
He knew that Huang Tiancheng's illness could not be cured by just a few Fire Essence Pills.
"Elixir pills, ah, I'll have to ask around for you later..."
"Little Chen, I can help."
Mu Zhen suddenly turned around, looked at Chen Fusheng, and said, "My family happens to have a shop selling elixirs, and I can give you a discounted price."
Wang Lie smiled meaningfully. It seemed that Mu Zhen had already recognized Chen Fusheng. With this relationship, he could walk sideways in the Outer Sect.
Even when Mu Zhen becomes an Inner Courtyard disciple and carries out Grade A missions, she can ask them to help, during which they can earn a lot of wealth.
In this way, the circle of contacts becomes larger and larger.
He couldn't help but sigh, had Chen Fusheng suddenly become his benefactor?
Wang Lie knew that Mu Zhen valued Chen Fusheng's physique!
The talents of him and Liu Bai could only be regarded as average, while Chen Fusheng's physique still had room for improvement. Once his cultivation catches up, the clues will be revealed.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your care. If possible, I'd also like to trade for a Heart Source Pill, and exchange the rest for Star Stones. Oh, right, I also have Outer Sect missions."
Chen Fusheng asked expectantly. He had many books collected by Huang Tiancheng at home, and he knew that Heart Source Pills belonged to the five viscera source medicine.
"Heart Source Pills are high-level elixirs, worth a lot. They mainly strengthen the physical body's life essence and blood, and improve the heart. This elixir is very suitable for you."
Mu Zhen said, "Three Fire Essence Pills will cost you 1,100 Star Stones, the Heart Source Pill will cost you 1,800, and I'll take care of the Outer Sect mission for you."
Wang Lie was stunned. 1,800 Star Stones? Probably not many Inner Courtyard disciples could afford that!
Liu Bai was also speechless. Chen Fusheng, fresh out of the gate, a trip to the Black River was worth ten years of hard work.
At that moment, the purple storage bag hanging from Mu Zhen's waist glowed, and a large cloth bag flew out, containing 1,000 Star Stones.
"Little Chen, I'll make up what I owe you later, and I'll have someone send the Spirit Pills to your house."
After she finished speaking, she took Chen Fusheng's spoils and jumped ashore, disappearing into the distance.
Chen Fusheng watched Mu Zhen's graceful figure leave, and stroked his chin.
Wang Lie grabbed Chen Fusheng's arm and jumped ashore, tilting his head to look at him, and said, "What's wrong? Don't worry, Mu Zhen won't take advantage of you for this little bit of money."
"Brother Lie, I was just wondering, when will I be as carefree as Senior Sister Mu Zhen?" Chen Fusheng chuckled.
"You kid, you dare to think about anything after getting lucky, but speaking of..."
Liu Bai and the others chatted along the riverbank market as they returned to the Star Gazing Manor.
After parting ways, Chen Fusheng ran home all the way, his feet splashing mud, relieving the unspeakable emotions in his heart.
In a short few days, he had earned the wealth he had once dreamed of and witnessed the fighting of demon beasts. He wanted to share these things with his loved ones.
And the top-grade Spirit Fish that failed to evolve made him scratch his head.
"Since that Spirit Fish was severely injured, it will definitely lurk in the outer river area in the short term!"
He returned to the courtyard, opened the door, and walked towards the inner room.
On the bed, the old man's face was even paler, and he had been sleeping all these days.
Lei San had not left his side, worriedly informing him that Grandpa Huang might not survive this winter and that he should be prepared.
Chen Fusheng's joy disappeared, and he whispered, "Third Brother, you know I'm an orphan. Grandpa raised me for ten years. No matter what, I have to protect Grandpa's life and let him enjoy a few years of happiness, otherwise I really won't be content."
Lei San sighed, put his arm around Chen Fusheng and went out, saying, "Brother knows you're suffering, but some preparations still need to be made. Oh, right, Supervisor Teng came yesterday!"
Chen Fusheng was shocked, "What did he come for?"
"He just asked where you went, and didn't say anything else, but his mood seemed a little bad?" Lei San didn't think much about it. How could Chen Fusheng provoke Supervisor Teng? That was an Other Shore Realm Star Master.
Chen Fusheng's face sank slightly. Supervisor Teng suspected him?
Teng Lin had been missing for these days, and Supervisor Teng probably thought his son was gone!
"Third Brother doesn't even know that Teng Lin went to find me that day. Why did Supervisor Teng come to find me? What reason does he have to suspect me? Or is it just a simple inquiry?"
After Chen Fusheng pushed the door and left, he was silent for a moment. He went home, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and went to the Outer Gate Hall!
Chen Fusheng walked towards Supervisor Teng's area.
However, the service staff informed him that Supervisor Teng had not come since yesterday.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I'm Chen Fusheng. Supervisor Teng was looking for me yesterday. Please tell Supervisor Teng that I've been doing missions in the Black River recently to earn resources to treat my grandfather's illness. If he has anything to tell me, he can tell Lei San."
Chen Fusheng turned around calmly, calculating in his heart that Supervisor Teng probably wanted to ask him about Teng Lin's whereabouts, and the possibility of suspicion was not high.
Then he went to the Silver-Robed Star Official's office, where Mu Zhen had quickly completed the task for him.
He smoothly received his identity token and a new task.
"One pound of Fire Pattern Fish, reward: one Fire Essence Pill!" Chen Fusheng chose this task.
Outer Sect Disciples must complete a Grade B task every month, as long as they don't fail three times in a row.
Returning home again, the Spirit Pill and Star Stones had already been delivered.
Chen Fusheng took out a Fire Essence Pill and sent it into the old man's abdomen with energy.
Through the Furnace Contemplation Method, he sensed the fire-attribute energy emitted by the pill, which effectively suppressed some of the cold energy. According to his calculations, it could last for about three days.
"This is a Fire Essence Pill, three hundred Star Stones for one. It seems that Grandpa's cold poison is even more terrifying than I expected. I wonder how he was poisoned back then."
Noticing that the old man was still asleep, Chen Fusheng pushed the door open with some doubt and left.
In the dimly lit room, the old man slowly opened his eyes and whispered, "In just a few days, Fusheng's physical body has become so powerful!"
"Analyzing his condition, it should be at the level of a high-grade treasure body, right? Furnace Contemplation Method, Ancient Prodigy, this is a great man, the first preacher!"
Old Huang exclaimed. For a mortal to have such a powerful physique sounded like a myth, but he was the only witness in later generations.
He also found it difficult to say what kind of physique the Furnace Contemplation Method could create for Chen Fusheng. Could it be comparable to an Innate Treasure Body?
"No! Is it that the Contemplation Method is extremely powerful, or does Fusheng have other opportunities?"
Huang Tiancheng was more hopeful for the latter. No matter how terrifying the Contemplation Method was, since the Ancient Prodigy had failed, it meant that he had not reached the end!
But the most magical thing in this world is opportunity.
"This world is so big, with endless tribulations. Fusheng's path has just begun. Perhaps before I die, I can still see the moment when he plunders the power of the stars in the sky with his physical body."
