Chapter 77 – Yin Yang Carp, Don’t Believe (Eighth Shift Requests Subscription)
“Cultivate and try!”
Chen Fan pressed his inner excitement.
In addition to the normal seats in the remote hall, there were also a few futons.
Chen Fan sat cross-legged on one of the futons and began to utilize the Cangwu Ancient Wood Technique.
This was the first time he had practiced in such a rich aura environment, and it was also the first time he had practiced after his Spiritual Root Qualification had been raised.
“Buzz!”
As Chen Fan’s mind moved, he instantly felt a powerful suction force that was born from within his body, pulling the spiritual qi in the side hall, one by one, into his body.
These spiritual qi were pulled over and immediately quickly passed through his entire body’s meridians and surged into his dantian qi sea, being refined into his own mana.
“This ……”
Just as soon as he cultivated, Chen Fan’s eyes widened.
He realized that the speed at which he was now pulling on his spiritual qi was two to three times faster than before.
“My Spiritual Root Qualification has really broken through!”
“Medium grade spirit root!”
“Only a mid-grade spiritual root can have such a cultivation speed!”
Chen Fan’s heart perked up.
Although he had guessed it before, but now that it was truly confirmed, he still felt a surge of joy.
Especially after Xu Shida said that he was most likely a Growth Spiritual Root.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Chen Fan fully operated the Cangwu Ancient Wood Technique, introducing the spiritual qi in the side hall, one by one, into his body and refining it into his own mana.
According to what Little Stone said, it should be a rare opportunity for him to be able to cultivate in the remote hall.
Thus he had to grasp it before he could do so.
……
“Rumble!”
In the depths of Cangwu Mountain, above the Ten Thousand Carp Lake, dark clouds were like ink, churning and gathering.
Underneath these dark clouds, in the center of the lake, a large-sized carp with flowing whiskers was silently suspended.
It was more than ten meters long, like a small hill floating on the surface of the water, and every piece of scale armor flashed with a strange luster.
This thing was precisely the Carp Ancestor that had been living in this lake for hundreds of years.
In Cangwu Mountain, even some Jindan real people did not live as long as it did.
At this moment, under the rolling black clouds, the Carp Ancestor shook its body in the lake, and its huge body drove the water of the lake, causing waves to ripple.
“Old Ancestor, there shouldn’t be any problems with the Carp Ancestor, right?”
On the distant shore of the lake, a dozen or so Immortal Cultivators with thick breaths looked solemn.
“Not much of a problem.”
An old man with a face like a withered wood at the head of the group revealed a smile and said, “This guy has lived for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot, it’s just a small heavenly tribulation, it can’t help it.”
“Ka-ching!”
Just as his words fell, the dark clouds in the distance seemed to have finally converged to their limit, and an arm-thick lightning bolt suddenly split down from the dark clouds, striking directly at the top of Carp Ancestor’s head.
“Roar!”
The Carp Ancestor seemed to have been waiting for this moment.
It leapt out of the water and opened its huge mouth, surprisingly swallowing this lightning directly into its belly.
“Rumble!”
As the first bolt of lightning fell, more lightning began to strike out from the dark clouds.
These lightning bolts were either thick or thin, long or short, straight or curved …… intertwined together, forming a dense grid that completely enveloped the Carp Ancestor’s body.
The Carp Ancestor landed back in the water, his tail flicked, and at once an entire lake undulated, and a lightning bolt landed on it, but it was as if it used it as a staging area, and flowed into the lake quickly.
“Crackle!”
Electricity arcs flickered in the lake, and a carp was electrified so much that it jumped up, its belly facing upwards.
“Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?”
In the distance, Xu Shida flew in with his sword and saw this scene from afar, his heart was appalled.
He didn’t dare to get too close, and landed when he was a few hundred meters away from the shore.
On the shore, several Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators glanced at Xu Shida from afar, and when they saw that the visitor was him, they withdrew their gaze again.
Xu Shida carefully stood at a distance, not daring to squeak a word.
“Rumble!”
The heavenly tribulation in the distance became more and more urgent, and just in the blink of an eye, the Carp Ancestor’s entire body shed an unknown number of scales.
But this was after all only a minor heavenly tribulation for breaking through to the Jindan stage, and after another two breaths, a thunderbolt stopped.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, turning back into clear skies.
At the same time, there was a clear light that descended from the sky and landed on the Carp Ancestor.
“Roar!”
After the lightning tribulation stopped, the Carp Ancestor roared, and the injuries on his body quickly recovered under the effect of that clear light.
“After this matter is over, I will go.”
“This fellow has just made a breakthrough, you guys keep an eye on it, don’t let it cause trouble.”
On the shore, the old man at the head of the group saw this scene and explained a few words to the crowd before transforming into a stream of light and leaving the place.
The Carp Ancestor’s breakthrough was a big event for the entire Cangwu Mountain.
It’s just that this guy’s bloodline is special, and his spiritual intelligence has never been able to improve, and even this time, when he broke through to the Jindan stage, he still looks silly.
Treating the Carp Ancestor as a mountain-suppressing spirit beast line.
But to communicate with it and congratulate it on its breakthrough, forget it.
“Swish swish swish ……”
As the old man left, a Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivator on the shore then moved in a single movement and arrived in front of the Carp Ancestor.
Just as soon as they flew there, they shot out to collect a piece of the scales that came off from the Carp Ancestor’s tribulation, as well as the carp’s blood that was mixed into the lake’s water.
These scales and precious blood that were tainted with the aura of the heavenly tribulation were treasures that could not be obtained.
“One scale per person, don’t go overboard, the rest should all be included in the sect treasury!”
A middle-aged man wearing a green-colored vestment robe spoke in a deep voice.
He was none other than Cangwu Mountain’s current Sect Leader, Xu Zhouji.
While speaking, he took out a bowl-shaped spirit weapon and threw it forward. Immediately, tons of lake water stained with precious blood, along with a carp scale, entered this spiritual artifact.
Several Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivators saw this scene and the corners of their mouths twitched.
However, they could not say anything.
After all, this was the current Sect Master of Cangwu Mountain, considering the entire sect.
“Boo!”
In the lake, Carp Ancestor spat out a bubble and slowly sank into the water.
It was as if it was oblivious to these Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivators scrambling for its shed scales and precious blood.
Even as it sank, it opened its mouth and swallowed one of the electrocuted carp in the lake water into its own mouth.
It then barred its mouth and swam into the bottom of the lake.
The carp in this Ten Thousand Carp Lake were all its carp children and grandchildren.
It had a special bloodline, a rare Yin Yang Blood Carp, and by itself and by itself, it was able to produce a large number of carp.
And it was still an uncontrollable production.
Now these carp were electrocuted, but when it waited for next month, it was expected to produce a large number of carp again.
The carp it spawns, though, will be different from itself.
Each one has a male and female, and if these carp want to give birth to new carp, they’ll have to be a combination of female and male carp.
“What are you doing here?”
After collecting all the carp scales and precious blood, all of them, Xu Zhouji came to the distant Xu Shida with his sword.
At the same time, one of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had just gotten the benefit, also followed him over.
“Report to the Sect Leader.”
Xu Shida even rushed at Xu Zhouji and bowed, “Disciple went out to recruit disciples this time, and recruited a disciple who is suspected to have a growing spiritual root as recorded in the ancient books.”
“Growth type spirit root?”
Xu Zhouji frowned, “Where did you read the ancient texts?”
The other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the arena also had puzzled faces.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, there were indeed some rare spiritual roots.
For example, the Spiritual Root of Blood.
The Spiritual Root of Cloud.
But what was a Growth Spiritual Root?
A few people looked at each other.
It turned out that no one knew about this kind of spiritual root.
They hadn’t even heard of it.
“This ……”
Xu Shida’s eyes blinked, “That ancient book, I rummaged through the Sect Master’s study room when I was young.”
“Ridiculous!”
Xu Zhouji’s face sank, “When you were young? How many years ago was that? And have you forgotten that the books you read when you were a young child were anything other than talking books and novels?”
He already knew what books Xu Shida was talking about.
Those books were indeed all ancient books.
But those ancient books were also really mostly talking book novels.
And a dozen years ago, his roomful of books had been burned by some bitch with a super-giant fireball spell.
“Master Palm.”
At this moment, a Foundation Establishment cultivator spoke up, “Since Senior Nephew Xu has already brought the person back, why don’t we go and take a look.”
“Since this person displayed different visions during the spiritual root test, it might be possible that he really is a bit special.”
“I’m going to send these carp scales and precious blood into the treasure vault first.”
Xu Zhouji shook his head and said, “If you guys, senior brothers, want to take a look, let Xu Shida take you there.”
After saying that, he harnessed his flying sword and turned into a stream of light, leaving straight away.
“I’m going to take a look at this disciple, do any of you join me?”
After Xu Zhouji left, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had spoken earlier, looked to the others and said.
“I won’t go, this time I obtained a Carp Ancestor’s scale, I’m going to sacrifice it into a magic weapon as soon as possible.”
“I won’t be going either.”
“I’ll go over with you to take a look, I’ve never seen a disciple with an anomaly in the spirit root test before.”
A Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivator, opened his mouth and said.
In the end, of the dozen or so Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivators, there were only three of them, ready to go over and take a look.
The rest of the Foundation Establishment Stage Immortal Cultivators all found excuses and left.
They didn’t have that kind of leisure mind to go and watch a freshly initiated disciple.
Of course the main thing was that they didn’t believe that in this world, there were really any growth spirit roots.
“Whoosh!”
Xu Shida followed a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators with his sword, full of apprehension.
After Xu Zhouji said that, it was he himself who was not confident.
He could no longer remember if the ancient book he had read in the first place was a talking book novel or not.
After all, that was already more than ten years ago.
At that time, he was just as big as the current Little Stone, and he hadn’t even stepped into the Immortal Path yet.
“Brush!”
In a short amount of time, the few people arrived in front of the Sect Master’s hall with their swords.
At the same time, on the way over, Xu Shida had purposely fetched a Spirit Measuring Stone Pillar over as he passed by the Sect’s Deacon Hall.
“Little Stone has met several senior uncles!”
Little Stone was startled and even greeted them.
“Where is Chen Fan?”
Seeing Little Stone, Xu Shida immediately asked.
“In the side hall, I’m going to call him.”
Little Stone spoke.
“No need.” A female Foundation Establishment stage Immortal Cultivator shook her head, “We’ll just go there directly.”
