[Ding, Host, to curse Nangong Wuji, Half-Step Spirit Leaving the Body Realm expert, you would need at least the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.]
" Nascent Soul Realm?" Yunshu frowned.
There's a saying in the Immortal Cultivation Realm: Foundation Establishment is easy to achieve, Golden Core is easy to attain, but Nascent Soul is difficult to achieve.
Foundation Establishment: As long as one has Spiritual Root and is not dead, even if it takes time, one can eventually achieve Foundation Establishment.
The "Immortal Golden Core" doesn't mean that reaching the Golden Core Realm makes one immortal. Rather, it means that to achieve the Golden Core realm, one needs extraordinary talent, exceptional aptitude, and exceptional fortune.
Then you must live a long life. As long as you live long enough and persevere, you will eventually achieve your goal and attain the Golden Core.
To be frank, neither Foundation Establishment nor Golden Core are the biggest constraints for cultivators; lifespan is the true constraint.
As for the Nascent Soul, it cannot be achieved simply by waiting for time to pass.
The process of the Golden Core breaking free from its Primordial Spirit Nascent Soul is already extremely dangerous, but it is further compounded by Lightning Tribulation and inner demons.
The moment of breaking free from the cocoon is also the moment of greatest weakness; the slightest mishap will result in utter destruction.
Cultivators defy the heavens, facing two great tribulations on their path: achieving the Nascent Soul stage and transcending the Tribulation Transcendence to Ascension.
In fact, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is even more dangerous than the Ascension Tribulation.
This is also the main reason why Yunshu frowned.
[Ding, Host, anything is possible. What you need to do now is to control the Ancestral Demon Blood Curse within your body, but do not eliminate it.]
The system then issued a notification.
Yunshu Shu nodded, indicating that she understood.
Although she can now remove the Ancestral Demon Blood Curse, Nangong Wuji will definitely find out. Right now, she is no match for Nangong Wuji.
Controlling the Ancestral Demon Blood Curse was merely a matter of a thought for Yunshu, who possessed Curse Body.
With the Ancestral Demon Blood Curse under control, Yunshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your cheat code is really weird!" Mengli leaned closer and asked curiously.
Everyone has a system. As long as we get close to each other, we can know the name of each other's systems. Knowing the name, we can guess the general function of each system.
Shen Qingyue's Binding Sign-In System, Mengli's Monster-Slaying Level-Up System, Gao Lan's Binding Enemy-Slaying Cultivation-Drop System, and Zhuang Yuerong's Binding Check-In System.
The system's function can be understood entirely from its name.
However, Yunshu's Binding Fishing System was incomprehensible to Mengli and the others.
"Fishing? Fishing for what? Fish? Or fishing for treasure?"
Yunshu glanced at the women, then at Ling Yi, and asked, "Is this something I can talk about?"
"What's there to hide? Ling Yi already guessed it, but because of the rules, he can't say it directly. It's no different from being completely open and honest." Mengli shrugged.
Yunshu looked at Ling Yi and said, "Is that so?"
[Ding, Host, the system's confidentiality rules have actually stopped working for Ling Yi. It's just that Shen Qingyue and the others don't know it yet. Otherwise, what's the difference between this and burying one's head in the sand?]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Yunshu nodded in realization.
"Senior Sister Yunshu, what exactly is this cheat you have? Show it to us!" Mengli looked at Yunshu with a face full of curiosity.
The term "cheat code" was something Mengli learned from Ling Yi.
The word "system" couldn't be used before, so they all used "plug-in" instead.
"Good!"
Yunshu was also very curious about how her Fishing System actually worked.
With a thought, Yunshu suddenly had a crudely made fishing rod in her hand.
The fishing rod itself looked like a branch that had been broken off from some tree, twisted and not straight at all.
The fishing line looked like hemp rope, and the hook was even cruder—just a piece of wire bent into a hook and tied to the hemp rope.
Ling Yi and the others looked at the crudely made fishing rod with suspicion.
What can you catch with this thing?
The key question is, where do we fish? There aren't any lakes or ponds here!
Not only Ling Yi and his group had doubts, but Yunshu also wondered: could this fishing rod really catch anything good?
Yunshu flicked her wrist, and the next moment, an irregularly shaped circular black hole appeared in mid-air.
The fishing hook, along with the fishing line, flew directly into the black hole.
Then, nothing happened.
They were all staring at the black hole with curiosity.
"So we're going to fish things out from here?" Zhuang Yuerong asked.
"The system says this black hole connects to All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. If you're lucky, you can fish out anything; if you're unlucky, you'll only catch some junk," Yunshu explained.
Is it all based on luck?
"Not necessarily!" Yunshu looked at Ling Yi, "It also depends on Ling Yi's Affection for me. The higher the Affection, the greater the probability of getting good items."
"Wait a minute!" Gao Lan looked at Yunshu, "You just mentioned the system and the Affection?"
"No, I already mentioned the system and the Affection, is everything alright?"
[Ding, Host, do you think it makes any difference to you now that you can speak? It's all self-deception, so the confidentiality rules for you have been lifted.]
"Oh!" Gao Lan exclaimed in realization.
[Ding, as long as Ling Yi and everyone else besides you know about this system, that's enough.]
"That's true. We were indeed burying our heads in the sand before!" Shen Qingyue said.
Clearly, the other women also received the system notification.
Ling Yi laughed and said, "So, is this considered being completely open and honest?"
"How do I increase my Affection?" Yunshu asked Ling Yi.
Ling Yi shrugged. "Then how am I supposed to improve? I don't control this thing."
Mengli leaned closer to Yunshu and whispered, "Senior Sister Yunshu, let me tell you a secret: as long as you give Ling Yi gifts, you can increase his Affection."
Ling Yi and the others were speechless; Mengli's behavior was truly self-deception.
"Is that so?" Yunshu looked at Ling Yi.
"Give it a try!"
"So what's your favorite thing?"
No sooner had Yunshu finished speaking than the fishing rod stirred.
The others also noticed at the same time that the fishing rod in Yunshu's hand dipped slightly.
"It's hooked! Quick, pull the rod!" Mengli was even more anxious than Yunshu, and shouted loudly.
Yunshu instinctively pulled outward with all her might.
The next moment, the fishing line and hook were pulled out of the black hole, and a jade slip was hanging on the hook.
Yunshu reached out and caught it.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully fished and obtained a jade slip Divine Treatise on Artifact Refining.]
Yunshu frowned. "The Divine Treatise on Artifact Refining?" About weapon forging?
She knew nothing about weapon crafting and didn't like it either, so how did she manage to fish out something like this?
The black hole in the sky is slowly closing.
"The black hole is closing!" Gao Lan warned.
"Let it be closed then. I can only fish once a day anyway."
Gao Lan's eyes darted around, and with a grab in the Void, she extracted the corpse of a centipede demon.
He tossed it into the black hole.
" Gao Lan, what are you doing?" Zhuang Yuerong exclaimed.
"You threw in the corpse of a centipede demon? Why are you making such a racket?"
"We know nothing about this thing. What if we cause danger?"
By this time, the black hole had closed.
"Look, what danger could there be?"
"We can't just try that again. Black holes connect All Heavens and Myriad Worlds; if they attract some terrifying being, it'll be troublesome. We must have reverence for the unknown."
"Hmm, that seems to be true!" Gao Lan also felt that her behavior was indeed a bit rash.
Shen Qingyue then asked Yunshu, "Junior Sister Yunshu, what did you catch? A cultivation technique?"
Yunshu then handed the jade slip directly to Ling Yi.
"How much Affection will this increase if I give it to you?"
Ling Yi was speechless. Could I possibly control things like Affection? I don't have a system.
However, Ling Yi was overjoyed after reading the contents of the jade slip.
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has increased by 50 points. Current Affection: 55 points!]
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has exceeded 50 points. Fishing rewards have been greatly increased.]
