The speed of the silver light was very fast and it disappeared in a flash.
Before Ye Qiu could see clearly, this silver light disappeared.
“Old thing, did you notice anything just now？” Ye Qiu asked.
“There is something in the water.” said the Long-browed True Man.
“Did you see clearly what it was？” Ye Qiu asked again.
The Long-browed True Man shook his head and said, “The speed was too fast, I didn’t see clearly.”
Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Shui Sheng also walked over and stood with them, his eyes fixed on the water pond.
They waited for a full three minutes.
Whoosh！
Another silver light flashed by and disappeared.
Although Ye Qiu was prepared this time, the speed of this silver light was really too fast and he still didn’t see clearly what this silver light was exactly.
“Did you see clearly？” the Long-browed True Man asked.
Ye Qiu shook his head： “It’s too fast.”
Shui Sheng asked, “Uncle-Master, Doctor Ye, what exactly did you see？ Why didn’t I see anything？”
“Shut up！”
The Long-browed True Man shouted in a low voice and then said, “Little brat, that thing was actually able to escape our eyes. It seems not simple.”
”Hmm.” Ye Qiu had the same feeling.
You know, he is already a super master now. Even a master like Long Qi in the Forbidden City couldn’t be so fast that he couldn’t see clearly. But the thing in the pond was incredibly fast.
While Ye Qiu was shocked, there was also a strong curiosity in his heart.
What exactly was that silver light in the pond？
Ye Qiu quietly opened the Celestial Eye.
Thirty seconds later.
”Swish！”
That silver light appeared again and disappeared in a flash. But this time, Ye Qiu saw it clearly.
”It’s a fish.” Ye Qiu said.
”Fish？” The Long-browed True Man was stunned. “What kind of fish is so fast？”
Ye Qiu said, “I’ve never seen this kind of fish before. Its body is very small and thin, just like a chopstick. It is transparent all over, and its blood vessels and internal organs can be clearly seen. It has shiny scales on its back, and the color is similar to that of a diamond.”
The face of the Long-browed True Man changed, and he asked urgently, “Does it also have two long whiskers under its lower jaw？”
”How do you know？” Ye Qiu asked rhetorically. “Old thing, do you know this kind of fish？”
”This is a crystal fish.”
The Long-browed True Man said, “I once saw the description of the crystal fish in the ancient books of Longhu Mountain. It is said that the crystal fish grows slowly and can only grow to about one foot long in a hundred years. This kind of fish is transparent all over, like crystal, and its speed is very fast.”
”It seems that those spirit cats appeared here for the crystal fish！”
”Little bastard, can you catch two？”
”Why？” Ye Qiu looked at the Long-browed True Man suspiciously.
The Long-browed True Man swallowed his saliva and said, “Regarding the description of the crystal fish, there are still four sentences written at the end of the ancient book: It is not easy to catch, eating it is very nourishing, it is the best among fish, and it is excellent when grilled and eaten.”
”Really？” Ye Qiu didn’t quite believe it.
”If I could eat the crystal fish before I die, then I would die without regret.”
Since the Long-browed True Man had said so much, Ye Qiu could only catch fish. After all, they were friends, and he couldn’t let the old thing die with regret！
Ye Qiu held a golden needle in the palm of his hand, opened his Heavenly Eye, and his gaze fell into the water pond, not blinking his eyes.
Half a minute later.
A silver light appeared in the water pond, and Ye Qiu flicked his fingers.
Whoosh!
The golden needle penetrated the water surface.
The next second, a 20-centimeter-long crystal fish was seen with its head penetrated by the golden needle and nailed to the bottom of the water pond.
”Well done, catch a few more.” The Long-browed True Man loudly praised.
After a while.
Another crystal fish appeared in the pond.
Ye Qiu made a move again.
Whoosh！
Another crystal fish was nailed to death.
Just like this, it took five minutes for Ye Qiu to successfully catch ten crystal fish.
“Shuisheng, get the fish up.” Ye Qiu said.
Shuisheng was a little hesitant, looking at Changmei Zhenren, as if saying, I only have one set of clothes, what should I do if it gets wet？
“Why are you looking at me？ Hurry up.”
Bang！
Changmei Zhenren kicked Shuisheng on the butt, and with a “plop” sound, Shuisheng fell into the pond.
A few minutes later.
Shuisheng came out of the pond holding ten crystal fish.
Changmei Zhenren then ordered： “Find some more leaves and dead branches and prepare to start a fire to roast the fish.”
“Oh.” Shuisheng responded and quickly went to look for them.
Changmei Zhenren took out a small knife and skillfully killed the fish, opened its belly, and in a short while, the crystal fish was cleaned.
Then, he used a long branch to skewer all ten fish together and put them on the fire to roast.
After a while, a strong fish fragrance rushed into the nostrils, making Ye Qiu drool.
“So fragrant.” Shuisheng couldn’t wait any longer and asked, “Uncle-Master, when can we eat？”
“What’s the hurry, open the backpack.”
Shuisheng opened the backpack.
Then, the Long-browed True Man took out several small bottles from the backpack, opened the caps, and evenly sprinkled the things inside on the fish.
Ye Qiu saw clearly that what was contained in these bottles was table salt, chili powder, and cumin powder.
”Old thing, why do you even carry seasonings with you？” Ye Qiu was dumbfounded.
The Long-browed True Man smiled and said, “You don’t know that there are many wild game in our Mount Longhu, so I always carry these things with me. When I encounter wild game, I can roast it directly.”
“Uncle, when did you eat wild game and why didn’t I know?” Shui Sheng asked.
”Why should I let you know？” The Long-browed True Man said, “You need to maintain your figure. If you eat more, you will get fat. And once a person gets fat, diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids will appear. Shibo is doing it for your own good.”
”So that’s the case. Thank you, Shibo.” Shui Sheng said gratefully.
Ye Qiu curled his lips and cursed in his heart that the old thing was shameless. He ate alone and said it was for Shui Sheng’s good. He was really brazen.
After waiting for a while.
Finally, the fish was roasted.
“The ancient books also said that the crystal fish is different from other fish. When eating it, you must be extremely careful, and some parts cannot be eaten, otherwise it will produce extremely poisonous. Let me teach you.”
After the Long-browed True Man finished speaking, he took down a crystal fish from the branch and ate it in two or three bites.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he completely wolfed it down.
Immediately afterwards, he took down two more crystal fish, held one in each hand, and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, three grilled fish entered the stomach of the Long-browed True Man.
Damn it, this old thing wants to eat alone.
Ye Qiu snatched four fish from the Long-browed True Man and quickly ate them.
Shuisheng was the poorest. When he reacted, the remaining fish were eaten up by the Long-browed True Man.
Seeing this kid’s pitiful appearance, Ye Qiu couldn’t bear it and gave a grilled fish to Shuisheng.
After eating three crystal fish, Ye Qiu only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant. Especially the tenderness of the fish meat, that kind of fragrance, and the feeling of melting in the mouth made him unforgettable for a lifetime.
“It’s so delicious！”
“This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such a delicious fish.”
“It’s just a pity that there are too few…”
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that a hot current rose from the dantian.
