Strangle the Opportunity

At deep night, Lu Shui was still reading a book.

True Martial and True Spirit were also sensing their spiritual energy. They discovered that the cold air here actually helped them increase their control and accumulation of spiritual energy.

If Lu Shui hadn't reminded them, they might have only discovered this after their spiritual energy was depleted, no, they wouldn't have discovered it even then.

They had been to the Wind Frost River before and thought it was a place of punishment.

They never expected it to be a place that aided cultivation.

As they were sensing their spiritual energy, they suddenly heard the sound of water splashing.

The moment they heard the sound, they opened their eyes.

Then they saw two fish appear in the Wind Frost River, two fiery red fish.

They were swimming around the Fishing Platform.

As they swam around, much of the cold air dissipated.

Lu Shui also looked up at that moment.

Yang Yan Fire Fish? Why would Yang Yan Fire Fish, which only appeared once every few thousand years in the Wind Frost River, show up today?

Lu Shui felt that the Wind Frost River was filled with malice towards him.

True Martial and True Spirit recognized them as well.

True Martial exclaimed:

"Yang Yan Fire Fish? Young master, it's the legendary Yang Yan Fire Fish."

True Spirit was also horrified:

"I heard the last appearance of the Yang Yan Fire Fish was eight thousand years ago. As long as the Yang Yan Fire Fish appears, it can dissolve the extreme cold of the Wind Frost River. Without the extreme cold, we can enter the bottom of the Wind Frost River. It is said that there might be a place of miracles below."

True Martial and True Spirit were very agitated. What was at the bottom of the Wind Frost River? The entire Lu family, except for the Three Elders, even the clan leader might not know.

They actually had the opportunity to witness it today.

How could they not be agitated?

Lu Shui closed his book, waved his hand, and with a "dong," two Yang Yan Fire Fish were directly blasted out, landing right in front of True Martial and True Spirit.

True Martial and True Spirit looked at the still jumping Yang Yan Fire Fish, unable to comprehend, then they looked at Lu Shui in unison.

"Hungry, let's grill them and eat them," Lu Shui's voice drifted over leisurely.

Then True Martial and True Spirit saw Lu Shui start reading his book again.

"Y-young master, these are Yang Yan Fire Fish," True Martial stammered.

Lu Shui glanced at him and said:

"I know, is it not good to grill them?"

True Martial: "..."

True Spirit: "..."

Young master, these fish are not for grilling and eating. They are extremely rare treasures.

"Remember to grill them well," Lu Shui's voice came again.

The young master has gone mad, this was True Martial and True Spirit's cognition.

They looked at the Yang Yan Fire Fish still unwillingly jumping and sighed inwardly.

The opportunity to witness a miracle was gone.

Then the two of them began to grill the fish.

Lu Shui withdrew his gaze and sighed inwardly.

Opportunities were linked one after another. If he had followed the river downstream, the entire Lu family would have been alerted, and the subsequent opportunities would only have become bigger.

Although he hadn't been down the Wind Frost River in his previous life, there was indeed something below, and it seemed not simple.

It was impossible for him to go down now.

So he could only take action to nip the opportunity in the bud. He would eat as many as appeared, he didn't believe he couldn't eat them all.

In the end, Lu Shui ate a whole fish, and True Martial and True Spirit each ate half.

"It tastes quite good," True Spirit whispered to True Martial.

True Martial also felt it tasted good, but this thing was meant to be eaten?

What a waste of heavenly resources.

After that, they no longer dwelled on it and decided to focus on improving themselves.

After Lu Shui finished eating the Yang Yan Fire Fish, he discovered that the Active Method had automatically activated. He, at 2.4, needed Fire Attribute Power.

And the Yang Yan Fire Fish was precisely a Fire Attribute Spirit Fish.

"..."

Alright, a small opportunity, not worth mentioning.

Continue reading.

It wasn't long before the sound of rushing water came from the Wind Frost River again.

Lu Shui looked up. This time, a giant crab that looked quite heavy appeared.

True Martial and True Spirit stood up in shock.

"This, this is the Myriad Law Spirit Crab, which hasn't appeared in ten thousand years. It, it can..."

Dong!!

Before True Martial could finish, the Myriad Law Spirit Crab was blasted onto the Fishing Platform again.

Then came Lu Shui's leisurely voice:

"Roast it."

True Martial: "..."

True Spirit: "..."

They were Meng Bi, completely Meng Bi. This was the Myriad Law Spirit Crab!

"Young master, the Myriad Law Spirit Crab, just a drop of its essence blood can evolve the most suitable cultivation method for you. This, this kind of thing can be called a rare treasure. How can you roast it?" True Spirit felt that the young master should know the function and preciousness of the Myriad Law Spirit Crab.

Lu Shui looked over, thought for a moment, and nodded. True Martial and True Spirit were overjoyed. Did the young master finally listen?

Then they realized they were wrong, terribly wrong:

"En, then steam it."

In the end, the Myriad Law Spirit Crab was steamed.

The cultivation method created by the Myriad Law Spirit Crab had a certain chance of causing a heavenly tribulation. Lu Shui naturally couldn't let it wander around here. Even its aura could cause a huge commotion.

Therefore, steaming it tasted quite good.

True Martial and True Spirit had already despaired of their young master.

They could only hope that no more precious things would appear.

The young master was seriously ill, possibly having lost his mind.

Early morning.

When the sunlight dispelled the dark night, Old Man Withered Tree strode towards the Wind Frost River.

He had spent a lot of time selecting magical treasures yesterday, and today he was here to complete his mission.

He only hoped that the young master could hold on until today. After all, he had prepared a magical treasure that could barely resist the cold, which should allow the young master to last five days.

However, it needed to be sent over by this evening. If the young master couldn't hold on, he would be powerless.

Of course, if he couldn't hold on by noon, he could also turn a blind eye and send it over.

After all, it was already very difficult.

Soon, Old Man Withered Tree arrived inside the Wind Frost River.

The path he took was different from Lu Shui's, so he bypassed Lu Shui and them, arriving at the depths.

Upon reaching the depths, he found a new fishing platform and took out a mirror:

"Alright, let me see how the young master is doing. I hope he can still grit his teeth and persevere."

After Old Man Withered Tree cast his spell, the mirror quickly showed the fishing platform where Lu Shui and them were.

But as soon as he saw the fishing platform, Old Man Withered Tree was a little confused. Why was there a pile of withered bones on their side?

There was a faint spiritual energy, were they the withered bones of spirit beasts?

"They ate spirit beasts? Where did they get them?"

Soon, Old Man Withered Tree understood. With True Martial and True Spirit there, it must have been the young master forcing them.

He figured it was to help himself persevere.

"Although it's cheating, he has persevered in the end. So, I'll turn a blind eye."

Old Man Withered Tree felt his guess was probably correct. After all, the young master's condition was quite good now, and he could even use reading to distract himself.

"Not bad, not bad.

It's just that True Martial and True Spirit's complexions aren't good. They probably didn't eat spirit beasts and had to help process them."

Now, True Martial and True Spirit's complexions were more than just not good; they were completely engulfed in despair.

They couldn't understand what had happened last night at all. Various precious Wind Frost River spirit beasts kept showing up.

Then their young master ate them without a second word.

The spirit beasts they had eaten could make the Third Elder explode with anger and curse them to death.

Last night was like a hellish ordeal for them.

All night, they kept begging the Heavenly Emperor not to send any more spirit beasts.

Their spirits couldn't bear it.
