So Master Wanted to Eat Fish

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi smiled upon hearing this and said:

"Fun?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed softly, "..."

"Master's guess was spot on!"

As soon as the sound faded, a flash of light appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a loud thud resounded from the ground.

Lu Changzhi looked closely and saw a large drum appear in front of Luo Ling'er.

The drum is entirely bronze in color, and at first glance, it has a very high-quality feel. A sense of weight and solidity emanates from it. Surprisingly, the drum is not covered with the usual array patterns. Instead, the lines around it are like flower scrolls. After looking at it for a while, one can vaguely feel the aura of Battle Intent.

With a thought, relevant information appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

[Enemy-Breaking War Drum]: Low-Grade Saint Artifact. This drum serves two purposes: in battle, it uses the sound of the drum to draw upon power and transform it into attack; the drumbeats surge like waves, layering upon each other, making them unstoppable. It can also be used as a battle signal, striking the drum to ignite Battle Intent and enhance our forces.

"Low-Grade Saint Artifact?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Changzhi's eyes as he asked:

"Found in this city?"

"Yes, that's right." Luo Ling'er nodded excitedly.

As he spoke, he waved his arm, and two drumsticks appeared in his hands.

"They say I'm the perfect person to play this big drum; I can help them when they go hunting."

As she spoke, Luo Ling'er raised her hands and brought down both clubs simultaneously.

Immediately, a muffled thud resounded from the drum, shaking everyone to their core.

Luo Ling'er then unleashed another flurry of blows, the sound growing louder with Luo Ling'er movement.

However, in a daze, Lu Changzhi had the feeling that this girl was swinging a sledgehammer to forge iron.

Without skill or emotion, all that's left is brute force.

"Master, how is Ling'er's tapping?"

After all the commotion, Luo Ling'er looked at Lu Changzhi.

Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.

"Not bad, there's a lot of room for improvement."

Luo Ling'er wasn't disappointed by this; she grinned, appearing somewhat carefree.

"That's not bad, hehe, with a little more practice it will definitely get better."

After watching Luo Ling'er's performance, they began to eat.

"Oh, right."

Lu Changzhi, recalling what happened at noon, took out a jade talisman and handed it to Luo Ling'er, saying:

"Here's a recipe for a delicious dish; you can try to make it yourself."

Luo Ling'er took the jade talisman, and after a moment, spoke:

"So Master wants to eat fish."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen, who was standing to the side, asked:

"Master, what kind of fish do you need? I'll keep an eye out for them when we go out tomorrow."

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and said:

Just do your best.

Gu Chen nodded and made a note of it.

During the meal, everyone chatted about the situation here.

According to Qin Li, this secret realm should have been opened or used long before these people from the Land of the Four Directions entered.

However, perhaps because the forces or groups that ultimately arranged the trials here did not conduct a final cleanup, many resources were left behind.

Generally, resources are recycled after a trial is completed in a designated area.

This is clearly not the case, otherwise they wouldn't have obtained these things in the City Sixteen.

Qin Li handed a jade talisman to Lu Changzhi, which recorded what they had found here that day.

The items are mainly cultivation techniques, items, pills, and talismans. In terms of quality, the highest is Low-Grade Saint Artifact. Besides Luo Ling'er's big drum, there is also a pair of boots that contain a trace of the power of the wind source.

Just as a strong man beats a big drum, the boots were assigned to Mu Fan.

Of course, these things aren't something you can just pick up as soon as you walk in; there are certain tests involved.

Only by passing the relevant tests can they be obtained.

Logically speaking, obtaining a reward of this caliber would require a high level of difficulty in the assessment process; it would certainly not be an easy task.

But before these incredibly talented disciples of Hidden Origin Peak, well...

According to Gu Chen, they adopted a strategy that combined multiple methods.

Besides obtaining it through normal means, there are also methods of acquiring it through strategy and force.

The so-called "outsmarting" strategy involved Qin Li leading the team, along with Mu Fan, to break through the formations related to the assessment.

The so-called "forceful takeover" refers to Mu Fan leading the charge, along with Luo Ling'er, to break through the formation.

As for Xiao Ye and Jin Fugui, they simply broadened their horizons along with them.

The test was passed just like that!

In short, the group had a good time in these City Sixteen.

Lu Changzhi glanced through the records but didn't have any particular thoughts, so he let them distribute them as they pleased.

Then came the matter of the city.

During the meal, everyone discussed this matter.

Lu Changzhi listened to their discussion from the side.

It's hard to describe what a wonderful feeling this is.

It seems like I haven't done anything, yet my disciples all seem to be on the verge of becoming successful.

Yes, it's wonderful.

The discussion process was not complicated. Their purpose for this trip was different from that of the other forces. They only needed to consider various factors.

The ultimate plan is to continue with the previous model.

Except for the most central area, the other areas are open to the public.

As for the fee to enter the city, it remains the same as before, with no charge based on light.

However, this will add one more requirement.

Hunting spirit beasts is prohibited.

This was certainly not an act of pure goodwill.

Instead, based on their observations, the more light and people a city has at night, the more it attracts a larger beast tide.

In this way, by taking advantage of the nighttime hours, the number of animals hunted can be greatly increased.

This is because spirit beasts are not as ubiquitous as one might imagine.

If they maintain the same pace as before, things will likely become quite difficult later on.

After all, they weren't the only ones hunting demonic and spirit beasts.

Determine strategies that are adapted to local conditions and changing with the times.

"Oh, right."

Lu Changzhi thought of something and said:

"The day after tomorrow, you need to take half a day to come with me to a place."

Although Qin Han's circumstances have changed, the Zither Sound Valley still exists.

Since the system has explained it that way, let's see how many of my disciples can seize the opportunity to Sudden Enlightenment.

Everyone nodded several times in response to Lu Changzhi's instructions.

Then, Lu Changzhi got up and left.

The night is beautiful, I'll go count the stars for a while, then go to sleep.

"Everyone."

After Lu Changzhi left, a moment later, Gu Chen spoke up and looked at everyone:

"I think our primary task for tomorrow should be the fish that Master wants to eat. What do you all think?"

"No problem, eating is of course the most important thing." Mu Fan nodded.

Qin Li then looked at Luo Ling'er:

"Can Senior Sister Luo master the method in half a day?"

Luo Ling'er looked thoughtful, blinked, and said:

"I can try more."

"That's fine."

Qin Li nodded and said:

"Our master came to the secret realm to improve our meals, and now that he has made this request, we should do our utmost to fulfill it."

Xiao Ye: "Senior Sister Qin is right."

Jin Fugui: "Master is the greatest."

"Then it's decided."

Gu Chen nodded and looked out of the city:

"Tomorrow's task: prioritize fishing!"
