Chapter 107: Taking a Step Back to Gain a Wider View

Feeling the slowly recovering primordial spirit energy, Ji Yang reluctantly reeled in his line.

Now, his primordial spirit energy was insufficient for him to cast again.

A big fish, if it was gone, then so be it.

Didn’t he miss another Xuanwu as well?

Taking a step back is like the vast sea and sky!

Ji Yang muttered to himself.

But just after taking two steps back, Ji Yang couldn’t help but clench his fists.

If he endured this time, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became; taking a step back only made him feel like he lost more.

This matter couldn’t just end like this.

Primordial spirit energy, primordial spirit energy…

Ji Yang pondered for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The Seven-Leaf Soul Flower was said to clear a cultivator’s soul, enhance their comprehension, and elevate their mental cultivation level!

But it was also rumored to restore primordial spirit energy since the soul is the primordial spirit, and the two are merely different names for the same thing.

With that thought, Ji Yang immediately took the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower out from his storage bag.

Though it had been picked for a while, the flower in his hand was still vibrant and showed no signs of wilting.

The seven oval petals shimmered with a light white glow.

After hesitating a bit, Ji Yang tore off one of the petals and put it in his mouth.

As he chewed it lightly, it transformed into sweet juice that flowed into his stomach.

Before Ji Yang could fully refine it, he felt a rush of clarity in his soul, as if his spirit had soared into the sky.

At the same time, his primordial spirit energy was rapidly recovering.

When the recovery speed began to slow, Ji Yang sensed the effects of the flower.

Although he had absorbed quite a few Light points, there were still many flaws in his soul.

While this flower couldn’t increase his primordial spirit energy, it indeed had the effect of clarifying the soul and quickly restoring lost primordial spirit energy.

No wonder it was a top-quality spiritual plant; next time he returned, he would extract the essence of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower to have it bloom ten or eight flowers.

As for the purple Light points, they were not of much concern.

The elder beside him, who couldn’t help but show his joy on his face, remained focused on Ji Yang while fishing.

When he saw Ji Yang take out a Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, the elder nodded slightly in his heart.

Indeed, this was a top-quality spiritual plant. If paired with other high-level spiritual plants and used as the main medicinal ingredient, adding a few auxiliary ones and calling in a pill master would allow them to refine a powerful Soul Pill.

This pill would be extremely beneficial even for high-level cultivators.

But when the elder saw Ji Yang directly eat one of the petals, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but grit his teeth and exclaim,

“You wasteful kid!”

Ji Yang, having eaten one petal, smacked his lips and felt the lingering effects of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower.

One petal could recover about twenty percent of his primordial spirit energy.

While it didn’t seem like a lot, Ji Yang’s primordial spirit energy was already strong, so this effect was quite good.

But it wasn’t enough.

Now that he understood the limits of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, Ji Yang held nothing back.

He continued to tear off another petal and stuffed it into his mouth.

One petal, two petals, three or four petals, five petals, six petals, seven or eight petals, nine petals, ten petals—countless petals flew into his mouth and disappeared!

After Ji Yang finished eating five petals, his primordial spirit energy rapidly restored at a visible speed.

The elder beside him was so angry that he nearly ground his teeth:

“Wasteful kid!”

“Wasteful kid!”

Once his primordial spirit energy was fully restored, Ji Yang regained his confidence and took out the causal fishing rod again.

This time, he would give it his all!

Ji Yang attached a Yun Ling Dan and prepared to cast his line in the same direction as before.

But just as he was about to attach the Yun Ling Dan, Ji Yang silently put it back.

Then he tore off another petal from the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower and attached it instead.

Since he was going to fish, he needed to use enough bait.

He wouldn’t believe that the big fish wouldn’t bite!

Seeing Ji Yang not only eating the petals but also using them as bait, the elder was so furious his arms trembled, and the fishing rod shook slightly along with the float.

Not far away, a disciple noticed and exclaimed happily:

“Senior Brother Mei, you have a fish!”

The elder turned and glared fiercely at the disciple!

That disciple, caught off guard by the glare, fell silent before he could say anything further.

Looking at the fishing rod, it remained steady as an old dog, and the lake’s surface was calm.

Could it be that he saw it wrong?

With the petal attached, Ji Yang decisively cast the hook.

It was still the same spot, but Ji Yang did not cast an identical line; there were slight differences in the details.

But it didn’t matter much; as long as the direction was right, accuracy didn’t matter—if there were fish, they would naturally bite the bait.

In the void space, it remained silent.

After eating the pills, the young True Dragon’s body was once again wrapped in a haze, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Just as the young True Dragon was about to continue its slumber, a fishing line with a petal suddenly fell from above, landing right in front of the cloud and mist.

Upon seeing the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower, ripples rose within the mist, and the clouds that had gathered slowly dispersed, revealing the young dragon.

The young dragon circled the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower once, then widened its eyes and leaned in close, sniffing it vigorously.

The fragrance of the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower instantly filled the young dragon’s mind, and after sensing the effect of the petals, its eyes sparkled with brilliance.

However, upon noticing the invisible fishing line hanging straight above the petal, the young dragon fell into thought.

Then it cautiously touched the fishing line with its paw.

At the moment the young dragon touched the line, Ji Yang also felt the fluctuation of the primordial spirit line.

Seeing the slight tremor of the primordial spirit line, Ji Yang almost pulled up the rod.

But just as he was about to do so, he noticed that the tremor of the line was not increasing but rather becoming smaller.

Seeing this, Ji Yang restrained his urge to pull up the rod and chose to wait for the right moment; he felt that now was not the time.

At that moment, Ji Yang became even more curious about what was on the other end of the fishing line.

He had to catch it.

Within the void space, the young dragon quickly pulled back its paw after touching the fishing line and flew to a distance, quietly observing the situation.

After seeing that the fishing line showed no reaction, a look of great confusion flashed in the young dragon’s eyes.

Learning from past mistakes, the recent danger made it hesitant to easily swallow whatever was at the end of the line.

So it proceeded with caution.

After confirming that the fishing line was still, the young dragon flew back and gazed eagerly at the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower hanging above.

But considering its safety, the young dragon persistently tried to poke at it a few more times.

Watching the steadily trembling fishing line, Ji Yang fought hard against the urge to pull up the rod, but his confidence soared.

The repeated testing likely indicated that it was something he hadn’t caught before; otherwise, it would have bitten right away.

This also showed that the Seven-Leaf Soul Flower had enough allure, or there wouldn’t have been so much coaxing.

Ji Yang suppressed his anxious thoughts and continued to wait for the right opportunity.

On the other side, after several attempts, the young dragon found that the object in front of it still showed no sign of movement.
