Chapter 106: Black Leaf Lotus
The primordial spirit line containing the Yun Ling Dan sank into the lake, drifting away. This time, Ji Yang did not cast his rod in the same place, but slightly moved to a different spot.
Diamond Sect!
In the spiritual herb garden, several disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage were carefully watering the lotus leaves in the pond.
This was a Black Leaf Lotus, a top-quality spiritual plant with body refining properties.
This item was also highly valuable and extremely rare in the Diamond Sect, especially since the sect was renowned for body refining, and it had techniques related to the Zhou Tian Star constellation for body refining, making the lotus’s effects even more significant.
Even the water in the Black Leaf Lotus pond was special, being a naturally occurring Spirit spring.
Just as the disciples finished watering the herbs and prepared to leave, a fishing line suddenly appeared above the Black Leaf Lotus, with a familiar pill hanging from it.
Sensing something unusual in the pond, the Foundation Establishment disciples looked towards the water.
Seeing a pill hovering above the pond, the disciples were puzzled at first.
But as they watched the pill approach the precious Black Leaf Lotus, they panicked.
The Black Leaf Lotus was a treasured item of the sect; if it were damaged, how could they explain it?
Furthermore, finding a pill in the pond was highly abnormal, prompting one disciple to sound the alarm to notify the elder guarding the area.
As the pill was about to touch the Black Leaf Lotus, one disciple reached out to grab it.
After successfully retrieving the pill, the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the disciple holding the Yun Ling Dan seemed to notice the strange thread on the pill and curiously gave it a tug.
At Tianxing Lake, feeling the trembling fishing line, Ji Yang decisively lifted his rod!
As Ji Yang reeled in, the primordial spirit line in the spiritual herb garden reacted as well.
As the pill was detached, it swept away the nearby Black Leaf Lotus.
Then, Ji Yang began to reel the line back in.
At this moment, the other disciples froze in shock at the scene before them. When they realized what had happened, they hurriedly attempted to intervene.
But the fishing line retracted too quickly, and their attacks struck nothing.
As they watched the Black Leaf Lotus vanish before their eyes, they were left in a daze.
What would they do now that it was gone?
“What happened?”
Suddenly, a rough voice sounded behind them. It was the elder responsible for guarding the spiritual herb garden. After a moment of hesitation among the disciples, a young man stepped forward and spoke slowly:
“Elder, it seems the Black Leaf Lotus was…fish here?”
“?”
The middle-aged man glared with anger, casting a glance at the spot in the pond where the Black Leaf Lotus had disappeared, then fixed his gaze intensely on the disciples:
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
“The spiritual herb garden is protected by a great formation. How could you say it was fished out? Why didn’t I sense anything?”
“Now, if you wish to retrieve the spiritual herbs, I will not hold it against you!”
……
“Elder, it’s true! We saw it with our own eyes!”
The disciples said with mournful faces.
“Hmph, I think you are guilty of stealing!”
“No need to say more, that is simply absurd. It seems you will not give up until you face total defeat!”
……
“What is this thing?”
Ji Yang looked at the black lotus leaf on the hook, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Finally, he had made a catch, and it appeared to be a spiritual plant.
But why did it not produce any light points?
This puzzled Ji Yang; it seemed that apart from living beings, nothing else could produce light points.
Ji Yang reeled in the primordial spirit line, then took the spiritual plant off the hook.
“This item is called the Black Leaf Lotus. It has body refining abilities that can enhance a cultivator’s physique and can yield miraculous effects when combined with certain body refining Techniques.”
Just as Ji Yang was pondering, the elder beside him glanced at what was on the fishing line and explained lightly.
Although Ji Yang did not recognize this item, he had heard the name of this spiritual plant before in a book within his wooden house.
Upon learning that this was a top-quality spiritual plant, Ji Yang’s expression brightened with joy.
However, once he understood the item’s effects, the joy quickly faded from his face.
With his physique, he did not need to refine his body; though the Black Leaf Lotus was a top-quality spiritual plant, it held little value for him.
Moreover, it seemed that this plant was already mature but had yet to produce a lotus pod or seeds, meaning it could not produce any more growth, making it effectively useless.
Additionally, since this top-quality spiritual plant did not provide him with any light points, it was even less useful.
Ji Yang sighed and decided to store it in the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
Even if it was of no use to him, at least it could be considered a rare item.
He wondered where it had been caught.
Seeing Ji Yang catch a top-quality spiritual plant and yet still look gloomy, the elder couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows!
Setting aside his disappointment, Ji Yang continued to cast his line.
After all, since he could not catch any spiritual fish, he might as well use the primordial spirit energy to practice.
As the primordial spirit line spread out, the next moment, the line attached to the Yun Ling Dan arrived at a remote area!
This place was vast and empty, with silence all around, yet the spiritual energy in the area was rich, as if something unusual was hidden within.
The fishing line with the Yun Ling Dan simply floated in midair, waiting patiently for a bite.
Before long, a mass of fog slowly approached the pill.
Within the mist, living beings stirred, seeming to probe the pill before them.
Just as they were about to touch it, they hurriedly retreated, repeatedly trying to investigate.
Once they detected no dangers, the mist gradually dispersed, revealing a creature.
It was entirely golden, with the head of a camel, the neck of a snake, antlers of a deer, turtle-like eyes, scales of a fish, paws of a tiger, eagle claws, and ears of an ox…
This was unmistakably a True Dragon, a legendary creature that had not appeared in the Cultivation World for a thousand years!
It was also one of the most powerful types of True Spirits!
However, this True Dragon was still in its juvenile stage, and its large eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion!
Seemingly drawn by the special effects of the Yun Ling Dan, the young True Dragon hesitated for a moment and then eagerly bit down on the suspended pill, swallowing it whole before trying to leave.
But the primordial spirit line remained attached, clinging to its body!
“Crash!”
Ji Yang, sitting steadily at the fishing platform, suddenly felt a sharp vibration from the primordial spirit line, and the tremendous pulling force nearly toppled him into the lake.
At first, Ji Yang was startled and then filled with delight.
A big catch!
Ji Yang wasted no time and infused all his primordial spirit energy into the fishing rod, then yanked back with all his strength!
However, it seemed the creature on the other end was unwilling to give in and returned force.
Just as Ji Yang prepared to go all out, his face turned pale.
Oh no, he realized that his primordial spirit energy was running low.
The energy that should have allowed him to cast the line two more times was being consumed rapidly due to the earlier tug and the struggle of the creature.
Without Ji Yang’s continuous output of primordial spirit energy, the blue thread on the fishing rod gradually dimmed, eventually fading away.
The line burst again!
Watching the primordial spirit line disappear, Ji Yang frowned.
He was frustrated! He had been so close, yet he didn’t expect his primordial spirit energy to be insufficient!
However, it was clear that what he had just caught was definitely extraordinary!
Beside him, the elder smiled slightly at the scene.
Yes, yes, just like that.
