Star-Eating Fish
A gentle, warm breeze blows softly, causing vast expanses of green grass to undulate like waves.
A Treasure-Seeking Rat kept running forward.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu quickly followed behind, but before they could get close...
Their Divine Senses detected that the treasure land in front of them was already empty.
After resting in the valley for a day, the two began to slowly make their way towards the map, searching for treasures along the way instead of rushing as before.
However, along the way, he discovered that many places with spirit medicine had already been harvested, and not even the seeds had been left.
The Treasure-Seeking Rat was clearly not very intelligent; even after Ye Jingcheng and the others detected it with their Divine Sense, the Treasure-Seeking Rat still ran forward.
Ye Xingliu cast a spell, and only then did the latter return, still puzzled.
"I wonder when the Mo Family and Xu Families will arrive," Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but say.
Along the way, they also encountered cultivators wearing Spirit-Isolating Robes who robbed them.
Relying on the fact that there were four of them, after Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu each released a Spirit Beast, they directly used a teleportation talisman to leave.
The two didn't give chase, mainly because they were now in their original identities, and these people probably didn't have any treasures on them, so they decided to keep them to deliver the message.
This proves that the two of them had appeared in the secret realm.
Even so, the cultivators from the Mo Family and Xu Families still hadn't arrived.
After all, Mo Hongwen had actually put spiritual powder on him back then. If the distance was too far, he might not be able to catch up, but if the distance was close, he definitely could.
Once Mo Hongwen's two Foundation Establishment die, even with the support of the Taiyi Sect, the Mo Family will have no choice but to withdraw from the stage.
The Ye Family's secret was thus preserved.
Thinking it over, Ye Jingcheng began to regret not applying the spiritual honey to the Mo Family cultivators.
He realized he had overestimated the abilities of the Mo Family cultivators.
"There's no need to rush. The Xu and Mo Families lack sufficient resources, and it will take them some time to reunite. Besides, that female cultivator gives me an extremely terrifying feeling." Ye Xingliu was in no hurry.
He looked at Ye Jingcheng, a hint of joy in his eyes.
In his opinion, Ye Jingcheng sometimes showed a more eager side, which made him seem more like a young cultivator.
Her overly mature demeanor in public actually made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After all, he has almost been surpassed in cultivation level. If he cannot surpass Ye Jingcheng in mental strength, he will feel even older.
"Third Uncle, it looks like a lake inside the Spirit Diagram ahead!" Ye Jingcheng exclaimed in surprise.
Then he took out the Spirit Diagram in his hand and showed it to Ye Xingliu.
The two compared notes and found that they were indeed closer to the location of the Spirit Diagram.
According to the markings on the Spirit Diagram, the distance should be less than a hundred miles.
This distance would take ordinary mortals several days.
For cultivators, however, it won't take long.
"There's something in the Spirit Lake too!" Just then, the Jade Ring Rat and the Treasure-Seeking Rat on the Spirit Boat squeaked simultaneously, sounding quite anxious.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu both looked towards the Spirit Lake.
Within the Spirit Lake, some stars are constantly twinkling.
"What is this?" Ye Xingliu hesitated for a moment. He had Blood Pact with the Treasure-Seeking Rat, and his Divine Sense showed nothing unusual.
"It seems to be something that can enhance the Qi and Blood of Spirit Beasts." Ye Jingcheng could sense the Jade Ring Rat's thoughts through the Soul Pact, so he said it directly.
The two piloted the Spirit Boat towards the spirit lake, after which Ye Jingcheng released ten Five Poison Bees.
The ten Five Poison Bees were extremely eager to see those scattered stars.
They actually headed down into the lake.
But to their surprise, the starlight below suddenly began to rise into the air.
It actually flew out from under the water and, in the next instant, bit the Five Poison Bee.
All ten were completely devoured.
"This should be Star-Eating Fish!" Ye Jingcheng was still incredibly surprised when Ye Xingliu quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng also remembered it.
The Star-Eating Fish is a carnivorous aquatic fish whose species has been lost for a long time.
This kind of spirit fish used to be extremely famous because it was a favorite of Body Cultivators, and it could also rapidly improve the Qi and Blood of Spirit Beasts.
It can even lead to a physical breakthrough for those who have been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time.
Now he understood why the Five Poison Bees and Jade Ring Rats were so eager for those star-like spots.
These Star-Eating Fish are not large; the largest is only about two feet long, while the smallest is only the size of a palm.
However, it is a very aggressive carnivorous fish that can create star-shaped patterns to lure prey.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu exchanged a smile; although neither of them spoke, their meaning was quite clear.
These Star-Eating Fish are practically delivered to their doorstep; they have no reason not to accept them.
Ye Jingcheng took out the Five Poison Bees, and then took out the Blackwood Coffin and the Evil Ghost Gong with his other hand.
Ye Xingliu also took out a Heavenly Demon Bag Law Artifact. These Law Artifacts all have one function: to store Star-Eating Fish.
As a large number of Five Poison Bees converged on the lake surface, countless tiny points of light beneath the surface also began to gather together.
And it kept flashing, as if showing off its allure to the Five Poison Bees.
Ye Jingcheng slowly controlled the altitude. Although he wanted to Star-Eating Fish, he didn't want all of his Five Poison Bee Bees to be swallowed up.
He originally had more than two thousand Five Poison Bees, but now he only has six or seven hundred left.
When the lake surface was about half a meter high, nearly a hundred tiny dots appeared below the surface and leaped upwards.
Among them, five Star-Eating Fish, each over two zhang long, had even reached the early stage of the second tier.
The dense starlight continued to pierce through the Five Poison Bee's cave.
Clearly, in addition to biting, it can also fire starlight arrows.
However, Ye Jingcheng's Five Poison Bees had anticipated this and fled upwards ahead of time.
Only those five second-tier Star-Eating Fish caused the immediate deaths of dozens of Five Poison Bees.
Ye Jingcheng also struck the Evil Ghost Gong.
At the sound of the gong, the Star-Eating Fish, caught off guard, paused for a moment and then sank towards the lake surface.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xingliu opened the Blackwood Coffin and the Heavenly Demon Bag, and put all the first-order Star-Eating Fish inside.
Only two of the five second-tier Star-Eating Fish were killed by Ye Jingcheng with the aid of Mystic Silver Needles.
The remaining three were all killed by Ye Xingliu's Heavenly Crimson Sword.
The second-tier Star-Eating Fish still has some deterrent power, so it's best not to keep it.
Moreover, second-tier Star-Eating Fish already have sufficient value. The fish scales are suitable for making Spirit-Isolating Robes, and the fish meat can be consumed by Body Cultivators or Spirit Beasts to enhance their physique Qi and Blood.
Further cultivation will not reach the mid-stage of the second tier, and will instead be a waste.
The two quickly caught all the Star-Eating Fish in the spirit lake, totaling one hundred and twenty.
That's quite a gain.
"Boom!"
The two had just put away the spirit fish when they heard a rumbling sound coming from afar.
The two exchanged a glance, and then headed off into the distance.
That place where the fight was taking place was clearly the location of the Spirit Diagram!
