Struck It Rich
Wang Mengde quickly put the robe into his Storage Bag.
Using his Spirit Eye Technique, he quickly located the Flying Sword embedded in the seabed.
He used his Entwining Silk Technique to entangle it, pulled it up, and put it into his Storage Bag.
Wang Mengde finished all of this in a flash.
They steered the small spirit boat, turned around, and sped away.
On the sea, a figure walked on water, frantically fleeing.
He was a cultivator at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, thin and with a face full of terror.
He was soaking wet, and his clothes were stained with blood, though it was unclear whether it was his own or someone else's.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it."
He kept looking back as he ran, as if something terrifying was chasing him.
He ran for dozens of miles, but eventually he was exhausted and his speed slowed down.
Just then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the distance, on the sea, a huge spirit ship was slowly sailing.
The ship was over thirty zhang long, entirely black, with two huge white characters painted on its hull.
Black Shark.
"Black Shark Monster-Hunting Fleet".
The monk, as if seeing a savior, desperately ran towards the large ship.
"Help! Help!"
At the bow of the Black Shark Demon Hunter ship stood a young man in his twenties.
He was quite handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and dressed in a black outfit.
It was Tie Li, the captain of the Black Shark Monster-Hunting Fleet.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze indifferent as he watched the disheveled cultivator rushing towards him from afar.
The monk finally reached the bottom of the large ship, tilted his head back, and shouted breathlessly, "
"Captain Tie Li, I am Chen Bigmouth, a cultivator from Rosy Cloud Island. I have important information to tell you."
Tie Li looked down at him and said calmly, "What intelligence?"
Chen Bigmouth took a few breaths, swallowed hard, and shouted, "Information on more than forty lesser Demon Fish at the Third Layer of Minor Demon!"
Tie Li raised an eyebrow.
More than forty Third Layer of Minor Demon Fish.
That's no small sum.
He looked at Chen Bigmouth and asked, "What kind of Demon Fish?"
Chen Bigmouth said, "I don't recognize it. It's completely blood red, extremely fast, and incredibly ferocious. Most of the cultivators who were fishing with us were killed by them."
Tie Li asked, "Where is it?"
Chen Bigmouth looked at Tie Li and said, "You have to promise to give me two after you catch the Demon Fish, because my spirit boat was destroyed because of these Demon Fish."
Tie Li glanced at him. "Okay."
Chen Bigmouth quickly replied, "It's in the sea area near Seven Star Reef, about a hundred miles from here."
Tie Li nodded, raised his hand, and swept Chen Bigmouth onto the boat.
"Set sail for Seven Star Reef."
Behind them, the cultivator controlling the spirit ship immediately activated his spiritual power, and a large array of spiritual light shone on the ship's hull, activating the array.
The ship suddenly accelerated and shot towards the Seven Star Reef.
Wang Mengde steered the sampan, the hearse, at breakneck speed.
Fifteen minutes later.
It stopped on a secluded spot on the sea.
He first used his Spirit Eye Technique to scan his surroundings carefully.
There were no abnormalities.
He was relieved and sat cross-legged on the deck. He took out the small jade bottle from his Storage Bag, poured out a Qi-Replenishing Pill, and swallowed it.
Refining.
He scanned his surroundings.
No abnormalities were found.
Take out another Qi-Replenishing Pill.
Refining.
He refined four Qi-Replenishing Pills in one go.
The spiritual energy within his body has been completely restored.
Wang Mengde scanned the surroundings and found nothing unusual.
He took Qin Xiangbei's Storage Bag out of his pocket.
He took a deep breath, and his spiritual energy surged into his Storage Bag, impacting the spiritual energy imprint left by Qin Xiangbei.
Fifteen minutes later.
With a soft "pop," the mark finally shattered.
Wang Mengde's lips curled up slightly as he imprinted his spiritual power onto the mark.
Divine senses probed in.
Then, he paused slightly.
The Storage Bag, a square space of about ten feet, was almost completely filled with Spirit Stone.
Upon closer inspection, there were nearly six thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
The disciples of the Evergreen Sect are truly wealthy.
Besides Spirit Stone.
There are also several bottles of Qi-Replenishing Pill, totaling more than twenty pills.
There are also some Talisman.
Two Wind Blade Sky-Splitting Talisman.
Six Wind Escape Talisman.
Five sound Voice Transmission Talisman.
Three Invisibility Talisman.
Two Flowing Light Wave-Chasing Talisman.
Three Golden Light Talisman.
There were also a few sets of clothes and some dried meat.
The valuable items included the Flying Sword and the Storage Bag, which was about three zhang square.
In total, it should amount to more than eight thousand Spirit Stone.
Wang Mengde was overjoyed.
They've struck it rich.
With so much wealth, he could afford to cultivate freely for several years.
Wang Mengde stood up and, as usual, used his Spirit Eye Technique again to scan his surroundings.
There was still nothing unusual.
Just then, a line of small golden words appeared in my mind.
[Spirit Eye Technique +1]
Immediately afterwards, a powerful surge of insights flooded into Wang Mengde's mind.
Since he began practicing the Spirit Eye Technique, all the fragmented and vague experiences and insights he had accumulated from hundreds of thousands of uses of the Spirit Eye Technique instantly became clear.
These seemingly disparate insights were meticulously organized, connected, deepened, and integrated by an invisible hand.
A sudden enlightenment.
The clouds parted to reveal the sun.
[Spirit Eye Technique (Transcendent Mastery) 0/6400]
A broad smile appeared on Wang Mengde's lips.
Just as he had predicted, the Law Technique truly broke through its limits.
Human-level Law Technique are something that others can only cultivate to the pinnacle of Peak Mastery.
But he can continue to improve.
Reaching this unheard-of, Transcendent Mastery level of skill.
This means that he can also cultivate his remaining Law Technique to a level of Transcendent Mastery.
He eagerly anticipated the terrifying power that would be when he cultivated the Palm Thunder Technique to a state of Transcendent Mastery.
He took a deep breath, suppressing his joy, and cast the Spirit Eye Technique once more.
The world is completely different.
Everything became exceptionally clear.
He looked into the deep sea, where he could now see a full eight thousand meters down the seabed, whereas he could only see about four thousand meters down before.
The distance has doubled.
Moreover, the swimming patterns of ordinary fish, the textures of seabed reefs, and even the tiny particles floating in the water are all clearly visible.
However.
The spiritual energy in my Dantian is decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Wang Mengde clicked his tongue in amazement.
This Transcendent Mastery Spirit Eye Technique is indeed extremely powerful.
However, this consumes too much spiritual energy.
The consumption is at least five times that of when Peak Mastery pinnacle of skill.
This scan alone consumes a full 20% of my spiritual energy.
Even the meridians around my eyes felt slightly swollen and painful.
Wang Mengde sighed inwardly.
His cultivation level was still too low, and he couldn't unleash the true power of the Spirit Eye Technique.
At that moment, Wang Mengde paused slightly.
In their line of sight, a group of red sea fish were chasing an Iron-Eating Arrowfish, Third Layer of Minor Demon Lesser Demon.
The Iron-Eating Arrowfish was enormous, over two meters long, and covered in iron-gray scales.
Its beak is long and pointed like an arrow; it flees desperately at an extremely fast speed.
But the group of red sea fish was even faster.
They are not large, each only about half a meter long.
Its body has a perfect streamlined shape, is entirely blood red, and moves at an astonishing speed when swimming in the water.
In a matter of moments, they caught up with the Iron-Eating Arrowfish.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
In just a few breaths, the Iron-Eating Arrowfish, a Third Layer of Minor Demon, was reduced to nothing but a skeleton, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
The crimson Demon Fish then scattered in all directions, searching for prey.
Wang Mengde's gaze sharpened.
What kind of Demon Fish is this? It's pretty fierce.
