The thing rolled to a stop at Luo Can's feet. It was a small, emerald-green stone, no bigger than a thumb, that looked unremarkable but emanated a terrifying yet pure life energy.

" Life Gold!" Luo Can bent down and picked up the heavy, emerald-green stone, feeling the warm yet powerful life energy within it through his fingertips. He couldn't help but murmur, "I can actually fish up something like this."
" Life Gold? What is that?" Qian Renxue curiously leaned closer, staring at the small stone in his hand, her face full of confusion.
Even the Ju Zi next to her cast a curious glance; she had never heard of this name in any of the strange and wondrous books she had ever read.
"This is a top-tier wonder born from heaven and earth, a treasure formed from the condensation of ultimate life energy. The conditions for its creation are extremely harsh, and it has the effect of defying fate for any living being," Luo Can explained to the two in the most straightforward terms.
He remembered that Huo Yuhao's divine weapon, the Blade of Life's Watch, in the original novel was forged from this material. Huo Yuhao even managed to open up the Eye of Life by relying on the Life Gold, and his Sea of Consciousness directly expanded three times, laying the foundation for becoming a god.
"What a pity, this piece is still too small." Luo Can played with the Life Gold in his hand, shook his head regretfully, and then casually tossed the treasure into the Fate-Defying Lake.
"What are you doing?" Qian Renxue and Ju Zi were both stunned, looking at him with utter confusion. How could such a precious artifact just be lost like that?
"Let's put it in the lake and see if it can grow a little bigger with the Life Gold energy there," Luo Can replied with a smile.
He remembered it clearly: in the original story, the enormous piece of Life Gold at the Lake of Life not only nurtured a large number of Ferocious Beast had existed for Hundred Thousand Years, but it could also slowly heal the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's serious injuries, which showed its effectiveness.
Therefore, he put this piece of Life Gold into the Fate-Defying Lake, hoping that the two could complement each other, allowing the life energy in the lake to nourish the growth of the Life Gold, while the power emanating from the Life Gold could also bring about a major explosion in the life level of the entire Fate Defying Valley. No matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal.
" Xiong Da! Keep a close eye on this piece of Life Gold in the lake! If you dare to secretly take a bite, I'll tear you apart and take your Spirit Bone!" Luo Can shouted at the lake.
"I know! I promise to keep a close eye on it!" came Xiong Da reluctant reply from the bottom of the lake. It clung to the bottom, staring longingly at the emerald green stone slowly sinking in the center of the lake, drooling all over the ground, but not daring to get any closer.
As the Life Gold sank to the bottom of the lake, the life energy of the entire Fate-Defying Lake seemed to be activated instantly, flowing continuously towards it. Soon, a life energy field with a radius of three meters was formed around the Life Gold.
Just then, his Fishing time for the day came to an end, and the system notification sounded, confirming that 15,000 Points had been successfully credited to his account. He was one step closer to the 500,000 mark in total Points.
"Finally, some good news." Luo Can breathed a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face.
These past two days, he's been preoccupied with the tragic incident at the border.
He racked his brains over all the plot points related to Douluo I, but still couldn't figure out who did it. In the original novel, there wasn't such a powerful Evil Spirit Master during the Douluo I era, and the King of Slaughter wouldn't leave until Tang San destroyed the Slaughter City.
He couldn't help but wonder if he, this butterfly that had traveled through time, had triggered some unknown change?
Moreover, he always had a strange premonition that the guy who committed the tragedy would bring him enormous trouble in the future.
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Luo Can had just finished Fishing when the Points on the system panel finally broke through the 500,000 mark!
By the lake, Luo Can put away his fishing rod, hovered his finger over the system panel, and pressed the "+" sign next to the Fishing Spot.
The 500,000 Points were instantly wiped out. The next moment, the Fate-Defying Lake of Fate before them expanded wildly at a visible speed, growing a third larger in just a few breaths. The spiritual energy and life energy of the entire Fate Defying Valley also surged dramatically.
The first thing to change was the piece of Life Gold at the bottom of the lake.
It expanded wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing from the size of a thumb to the size of a washbasin in just a few breaths! The surrounding life energy field also expanded from the original three-meter range to thirty meters.
The Xiong Da in the lake was so excited that it danced around. The Life Force and spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so dense that they could not be dissolved, frantically rushed into its body. Its cultivation level increased by Ten Thousand Years in just a few breaths!
"Hehe! I'll cultivate in this lake, and becoming Ferocious Beast that lasts for two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand years is no longer a dream!" Xiong Da thought to himself with satisfaction, lying down next to the Life Gold and greedily absorbing the dissipating life energy.
Not only it, but even the Titan Giant Ape Stone and Ghost Tiger A-Chou rushed to the lakeside like madmen, lying on the shore and gulping down the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Not bad, not bad either. The Spatial Barrier has also been greatly strengthened. From now on, unless the God King himself descends to the mortal realm, no one will be able to find my Fate Defying Valley." Luo Can glanced at the system information after the Fishing Spot was upgraded and nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right!" Luo Can suddenly remembered something, his eyes lighting up. "With the Fishing Spot upgraded, the energy concentration has skyrocketed. Besides the Life Gold and Xiong Da, the ones most affected should be... those Immortal Herb in the Herb Garden!"
He quickly walked towards the Immortal Herb calamus.
The moment he stepped into the Immortal Herb Garden, waves of clear mental energy rushed into his mind.
"Dad!"
"Dad, you're here!"
The indistinct, childish voices echoed in his mind, causing Luo Can's face to darken instantly.
Dad? What dad?! I'm not Grandpa Calabash Brothers! And you're not Calabash Brothers either! I won't raise you as my sons if you call me that! And you Immortal Herb, can't you have a little bit of dignity befitting your status as rare and precious plants?!
"You can all speak now?" Luo Can asked, his face dark, addressing the garden full of Immortal Herb.
"Yes!!!" A crisp voice rang out first, it was the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
"Daddy, Daddy! Can you touch us?" the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower beside them called out in a spirited voice.
"Get away from me! Daddy wants to touch me first! I'm the most obedient!" the Lovesick Heartbreak Red cried out defiantly.
"Daddy, Daddy, I'm the best girl, look at me first!"
"Daddy, Daddy, I've grown new leaves!"
The chattering and vying for attention continued incessantly, so noisy that Luo Can couldn't help but rub his throbbing temples.
He took a deep breath and released a wisp of soul power, saying, "Stop! Be quiet!"
