Opening: Eight Treasure Fish
After careful consideration, Li Yunjing smiled:
"Since Fellow Daoist Han personally invited me, how could I refuse?"
Han Qingyun smiled and said, "Very well, I hope you will arrive as promised."
Li Yunjing and Han Qingyun were talking.
But at that moment, Di Ang suddenly looked at Li Yunjing.
"Is this the recently rising True Person Li?"
"These young people are truly formidable; they leave an old man like me far behind."
Di Ang's words suddenly made Li Yunjing the center of attention in the entire room.
Everyone in the room immediately turned to look at Li Yunjing.
This made Li Yunjing feel somewhat uncomfortable.
However, Li Yunjing remained calm.
"Senior Di, you flatter me. It is said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Elders like you are someone we young people can only look up to."
Di Ang's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"You're a clever young man, but you've said something wrong."
The old folks will eventually pass away; the young are the true force of the nation.
Li Yunjing wanted to say something, but Di Ang waved his hand dismissively.
"Alright, there's no need to argue about this anymore. Judging by the time, the gates to the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm will be opening soon."
"We, the people of the five towns, cannot fall behind the others. Let's focus our attention on the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm for now."
Li Yunjing nodded, as did everyone else present.
With Di Ang setting the tone, everyone in the room left.
Li Yunjing returned to the spaceship in Xunxian Town and quietly waited for the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm to open.
In the past period of time,
Suddenly, the gate on the island in the lake began to tremble slightly.
A dazzling Golden Light shot into the sky, shining brightly between heaven and earth.
All around, phantoms of various rare beasts, spirit medicine, and celestial birds appeared.
When the Golden Light disappeared, the portal had already opened.
"The Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm has opened, Hu An, it's your turn to set off."
Li Yunjing turned to look at Hu An beside him.
Hu An nodded solemnly.
Hu An led the expedition to the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm.
He was a formation master, and he had also received a formation plate from Li Yunjing.
Among the eight disciples of the Luozhen Sect, his strength was definitely ranked first.
Hu An launched a small boat.
The small boat can just carry eight people.
They would then steer the small boat quickly to the island in the lake.
Some people are faster than Hu An.
Some people even got into fights over who was first.
Fortunately, these unexpected events did not affect Hu An and his group.
Hu An steadily steered the small boat into the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm.
"Now we'll have to wait here for three days. I wonder if Hu An and the others will return safely."
Beside Li Yunjing, Mo Xuan's eyes showed worry.
The Shui Yao are the same.
Li Yunjing remained calm, his eyes as still as a deep well.
He had that confidence in Hu An.
Within the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm,
Hu An piloted the small boat, flying through the air.
The environment inside this secret realm is no different from the outside.
It has mountains and water, and it also has a bright sun...
"Senior Brother Lü, what should we do next?"
Hu An steered the small boat while turning his head to look at Lü Hong.
Although Hu An was leading the Luozhen Sect team this time.
However, Hu An was self-aware.
He is indeed highly skilled, but he lacks experience.
On the contrary Lü Hong, being Rogue Cultivator, was very experienced.
Besides Lü Hong, Wang Shanming is also a disciple of a small Lineage.
They have good experience too.
Even setting aside Lü Hong, Hu An felt he should ask Wang Shanming.
However, Wang Shanming joined the Luozhen Sect later than Lü Hong.
Therefore, Hu An asked Lü Hong first.
After thinking for a moment, Lü Hong said:
"Let's find a place to rest for a while and look at the map first."
After saying that, Lü Hong looked at Wang Shanming.
"Junior Brother Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Shanming was taken aback, not expecting Lü Hong to ask for his opinion.
"Senior Brother Lü is right."
Wang Shanming naturally had no objections.
With the two of them by his side, Hu An steered his flying boat to a stream and settled down to rest.
The eight people jumped off the flying boat. Gu Xuan was too young and was very curious about everything around her in the new environment.
Arriving at the stream, Gu Xuan craned her neck to look into the water.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lü, come quick! It looks like Treasure Fish!"
Gu Xuan's shout immediately drew the attention of the other seven people, who quickly came over.
They also craned their necks to look into the stream.
Sure enough, in the stream, eight fish as thick as an arm were blowing bubbles, staying motionless at the bottom of the water.
Lü Hong took out a Jade Slip Jade Slip then examined its contents.
This Jade Slip was sent to Lü Hong by Mo Xuan.
It contains detailed information about some of the treasures within the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm.
After comparison, Lü Hong made his decision.
"That's right, this is the Treasure Fish." Lü Hong said with some delight.
I didn't expect to encounter the Treasure Fish so soon after arriving at the Fortuitous Fate Secret Realm.
The Treasure Fish is a rare and auspicious creature.
Due to its unique characteristics, the Treasure Fish contains treasures within its body.
What kind of treasure it is is completely random.
It might be a spiritual object that can be used to refine Law Artifact.
It could also be a kind of medicinal substance.
It could also be a Daoist practice or Law Technique.
Even elixirs and fully formed magical Law Artifact can be nurtured within the body of the Treasure Fish.
The eight Treasure Fish symbolize eight kinds of spiritual creatures.
There were exactly eight of them, one for each person, no more and no less.
"Junior brothers and sisters, quickly catch these eight Treasure Fish!"
Lü Hong quickly directed the others to start working.
The others, however, were quite happy and had no complaints whatsoever.
The methods used to catch the Treasure Fish are extremely brutal.
Hu An, Wang Shanming, and others immediately formed hand Method Formula and released various Law Technique.
They swung their weapons at the eight Treasure Fish.
In just a few breaths, the eight Treasure Fish turned belly up and floated to the surface.
The Treasure Fish has a tough body, and the impact of Law Technique will not damage the Treasure Fish contained within it.
If you don't use too much force, the Treasure Fish will get frightened.
They'll run away quickly.
The Treasure Fish is very fast.
They might disappear in a flash.
Lü Hong scooped up the eight Treasure Fish.
Then he called on the others to help him cut open the stomach.
Cut open the belly of a Treasure Fish directly.
No blood was drawn.
Lü Hong reached into the Treasure Fish's body, grabbed the treasure, and pulled it out.
The crowd immediately gathered around, staring at the treasure in Lü Hong's hand.
This is a prismatic stone.
It's about the size of a palm, crimson red, and has a red aura emanating from its outer layer.
"This is... Blood Essence!"
Wang Shanming looked at the prismatic stone, thought carefully, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lü Hong's hand trembled.
I almost lost my grip on the Blood Essence.
Blood Essence is extremely valuable and incredibly rare.
It can be used by cultivators to purify their own blood, making it free of impurities.
It is even possible to cultivate to the point where one's Blood Like Lead and Mercury.
If one can cultivate Blood Like Lead and Mercury, then there will be no obstacle for a cultivator to reach the Golden Core.
"Unfortunately, it's only First-Grade Blood Essence."
Wang Shanming looked at it carefully again, then sighed.
First-Grade Blood Essence has some value, but its effects are not very strong.
It only slightly purifies the cultivator's blood.
To cultivate to the state of Blood Like Lead and Mercury,
First-Grade Blood Essence is not enough; it must be at least Second-Grade Blood Essence.
"That's enough, that's enough. At worst, we can find another place to nurture it for a while longer."
Lü Hong, however, was not disappointed at all.
Blood Essence can be further nourished as long as it is not used immediately.
It's only a matter of time before he cultivates Second-Grade Blood Essence.
Lü Hong first collected the Blood Essence.
This item is of great value and must be handed over to the sect for further consideration.
With the precedent of Blood Essence, the eight people were eagerly anticipating the treasures within the other seven Treasure Fish.
Lü Hong instructed the other seven people to simultaneously cut open the fish's belly and extract the Treasure Fish from its body.
Seven treasures, each one is excellent.
One of them was a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone.
The eight people collected all the treasures.
Although Li Yunjing told the eight people to use any usable treasures they encountered immediately, there was no need to hand them over to the sect.
However, the eight people didn't think so.
Unless absolutely necessary, the treasure should still be handed over to the Luozhen Sect.
