Chapter 226: Fishing in the Old River Again
“Not bad!”
“It was indeed my doing. Last time you were just lucky, but today I have finally found my opportunity.”
After receiving a confirmed answer, Ji Yang let out a cold laugh.
He had been worried about finding the murderer from last time, but Elder Li had just come right out.
Last time, he had almost destroyed several of his spiritual plants. No, it wasn’t just his spiritual plants being destroyed; it was his path being ruined.
Such wicked deeds could not be forgiven!
Ji Yang’s expression quickly calmed, and he glanced around before chuckling:
“Just you?”
Elder Li also laughed a couple of times in response:
“Just me? Isn’t that enough?”
“I admit you have some skill, but so what? I have reached the Nascent Soul Stage now, and I am not what I once was!”
“Today, let me show you how strong I have become!”
With that, Elder Li’s body rapidly grew larger, rising from a height of one person to one yard, two yards, three yards… and he did not stop.
As his body expanded, Elder Li’s aura became even more magnificent. His once-fat body transformed into a robust figure clad in armor.
Just as Elder Li was delighting in his strongest state, he saw Ji Yang casually unleash a wave of sword energy from his hand.
Elder Li sneered, thinking he still had only his previous power?
But the next moment, the smile on Elder Li’s face froze.
The sword energy seemed slow, yet it moved so quickly that he could not react in time.
As the sword energy passed through his body, Elder Li couldn’t help but look down, only to see himself getting closer and closer to the ground.
“What… is happening?”
With the sound of his head colliding with the ground, everything fell silent.
Looking at Elder Li’s puzzled eyes as he died, Ji Yang shook his head and sighed:
“Too much talk, what a pity.”
Perhaps it was because he had been too suppressed while planting spiritual plants in Feng Ling Valley.
Even though he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, his mentality hadn’t quite adjusted, and his response speed was too slow; did he have to wait for him to finish his setup?
As Elder Li’s life force faded away, his once-mighty body quickly deflated like a punctured balloon.
Soon, it shrank back to the size of a normal person.
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Ji Yang formed a fireball in his hand, turning it to ash.
The ashes, washed away by the rain from the sky, flowed straight into the river.
Ji Yang nodded at this sight.
Being a wave rider after death isn’t so bad either.
As the ashes were washed away, a storage bag appeared on the ground.
This storage bag, which had survived Ji Yang’s Fireball Technique, clearly held some value.
After all, it belonged to an Elder.
Ji Yang raised his hand slightly, and the storage bag flew into his grasp.
Since Elder Li was already dead, the mark that had been on the storage bag had completely vanished.
Ji Yang used his primordial spirit energy to easily probe inside.
Upon opening the storage bag, Ji Yang began to examine its contents.
The first thing that caught his eye was a small mountain of spiritual grains.
As the steward of Feng Ling Valley, Elder Li certainly had plenty of spiritual grains.
However, most of them were just ordinary spiritual grains, along with some He Hua spiritual grains that Ji Yang had not yet refined, accumulated before Elder Li faced his punishment.
Ji Yang had plenty of spiritual grains in his Heaven’s Secret Pearl, including top-quality and supreme spiritual grains, so he naturally found these ordinary ones unappealing.
To the left of the grains, he found a small pile of spiritual stones, totaling around several thousand.
Most of them were low-grade spiritual stones, with a few mid-grade stones and a very few top-grade stones.
Additionally, there were some pills, talismans, simple formations, and various other odds and ends.
In another corner, Ji Yang even spotted a number of standard iron picks from Feng Ling Valley, leaving him momentarily stunned.
He really did not miss anything.
But it was clear that Elder Li had been preparing to flee, taking all his possessions with him.
Now it had turned into a windfall for Ji Yang.
However, he found himself somewhat uninterested in these items.
They were better than nothing, and they filled his slight shortage of spiritual stones.
After putting away the storage bag, Ji Yang didn’t look again and continued fishing.
The Large Cloud Rain Technique above was still ongoing; if it was going to rain, let it rain more, just perfect since no one would disturb him during the downpour.
With that thought, Ji Yang put away the standard fishing rod and took out the treasure from within his dantian.
With his unique Techniques, it seemed Ji Yang had a great effect on nurturing treasures; he attributed it to the uniqueness of his True Essence.
Now in his hand, the iron pick looked ancient and dark, making it clear it was no ordinary treasure.
Ji Yang admired it for a while before activating the treasure.
In the next moment, the iron pick transformed into a pitch-black fishing rod, although the layer of bloodstains could never be erased.
Ji Yang didn’t mind that and instead focused on the river before him.
Perhaps this causal fishing rod could help him find the Main Instigator from the past?
Of course, Ji Yang was not coveting any miraculous powers.
He then activated the fishing rod, infusing it with both True Essence and primordial spirit energy.
The fishing rod emitted a faint green light, and the primordial spirit line extended from it once more.
After a moment’s thought, Ji Yang attached a Yun Ling Dan to the end of the primordial spirit line.
The effect of this pill is currently the best bait available, aside from Top-tier Spiritual Plants, but he no longer had any of those.
After attaching the bait, Ji Yang cast the fishing rod into the river.
The water wasn’t deep, but Ji Yang could feel the primordial spirit line continuously extending downward.
This made Ji Yang a bit anxious; could it be another True Dragon?
He wasn’t at the sect this time, and if he hooked another one, unless it was something like Little White, he might not be able to handle it.
He felt a bit reckless, so Ji Yang began to pull up the rod, deciding it wasn’t worth the risk.
The key issue was that the fishing rod felt somewhat unreliable in his hands.
However, just as Ji Yang started to lift the rod, he felt a response coming from the end of the primordial spirit line.
Ji Yang was taken aback.
Had he hooked something?
Initially wanting to reel in, he decided that since he had a catch, he would treat this as his last cast.
Ji Yang pulled on the fishing rod, effortlessly lifting it with True Essence flowing into it, as he quickly reeled in the primordial spirit line.
He saw what he had caught.
It was just a spiritual fish.
But this left Ji Yang puzzled; while it was reasonable to catch a spiritual fish at Tianxing Lake, how did he catch one here?
Nevertheless, Ji Yang happily absorbed the Blue Light Points that appeared alongside it.
Cultivation level +1
After storing the spiritual fish, Ji Yang hung another Yun Ling Dan and cast the line once more!
His final cast!
Seemingly recalling something, Ji Yang activated his Heart Sword divine ability this time.
Past causes lead to present effects.
With causes and effects, there is causality.
Ji Yang came to a realization, and at that moment, the fishing rod in his hands burst forth with brilliant light.
He felt True Essence rapidly surging out of his body, and his primordial spirit energy quickly depleting.
Ji Yang frowned slightly but did not stop; he felt the change in the causal fishing rod and wanted to see what results it would bring.
After a moment, Ji Yang suddenly felt the fishing rod tremble violently in his hands.
