Chapter 80: Little Black, Let’s Go!
Beside him, Little Black looked disappointed at the seed that had sprouted tender shoots, but soon this disappointment faded away, hidden deep in his mind.
Although Ji Yang had chopped down several spiritual plants, he was still quite satisfied with the gains.
Many Mid-tier Spiritual Plants were growing rapidly; if this trend continued, they would fully mature in no time, greatly reducing their growing period.
However, this push for growth seemed to consume a lot of spiritual energy from the heavens and earth. Ji Yang felt the spiritual energy at the peak had thinned a bit.
Fortunately, Jingtan Peak was large and had ample spiritual energy. The energy consumed at the peak would likely recover in just a few days, allowing Ji Yang to come back and accelerate their growth once more.
After everything was tidied up, Ji Yang decided to visit the clear pond at the foot of Jingtan Peak to see if he could make some new discoveries since he had some free time.
Before leaving, Ji Yang called Little Black over and reminded him:
“I’m heading out, remember to watch over the place!”
Little Black nodded innocently, and Ji Yang wore a faint smile.
But then Ji Yang recalled that although Little Black couldn’t speak, he could still use the Breathing Technique of All Things to hear its thoughts.
Without hesitation, Ji Yang activated his divine ability again, and soon enough, he heard Little Black’s voice:
“Just you wait! Once that wall outside disappears, I’ll eat that grass from before, then finish all the spiritual grains, and make you let me catch bugs, pull weeds, and mind the house…”
Looking at Little Black’s honest face, Ji Yang’s expression darkened.
He had never expected such words to come from this earth dog, especially after taking care of it with food and shelter!
This made Ji Yang very angry, realizing that Little Black hadn’t run off simply because of the sword wall created by Ye Wuchen!
It seemed he truly had no talent for taming beasts!
Clenching his fists, Ji Yang felt like giving this earth dog a good beating!
However, he suppressed his anger. He couldn’t hit it; he still needed it to catch bugs! So he had to endure!
Seeing Ji Yang’s grim face, Little Black seemed puzzled. He quickly ran over to nuzzle against Ji Yang’s pants:
“Just bear with me for a bit, thirty years east of the river and thirty years west of the river, don’t underestimate a poor little dog!”
Ji Yang’s expression remained dark.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Yang decided to win over this earth dog with kindness!
At least until the new Golden Rain Technique came out, this dog could still help him quite a bit. Moreover, the sword wall hadn’t disappeared yet, so he didn’t need to worry about it betraying him.
A smart dog would know how to behave.
Without further hesitation, Ji Yang flew down the mountain and returned to the clear pond to fish once more.
This time, Ji Yang didn’t use Yun Ling Dan as bait; instead, he chose the Purple Rice spiritual grains.
As top-quality spiritual grains, they were more than enough to feed the fish, especially given their ample quantity.
When Ji Yang tossed the hook, the surface of the clear pond soon rippled.
A Red-tailed Spiritual Fish swiftly bit the hook!
Ji Yang decisively reeled it in; with his powerful strength, there was no need to tire the fish out, and before the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish knew what happened, he had already pulled it up.
However, looking at the white light point on the fish hook, Ji Yang shook his head slightly.
Body Quality +1
Not too bad, better than nothing.
This time Ji Yang did not throw the fish back because he noticed that many of the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish he had caught before had returned, and their numbers had greatly increased. It seemed many fish had digested the previous Yun Ling Dan and come out to feed again.
To avoid catching the same fish twice, Ji Yang decided to catch all of them!
However, after continuously casting his line, he only received disappointment in return.
Spirit +1
Agility +1
Strength +1
…
Ji Yang wasn’t sure if it was because he had already caught all the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish before, but this time every fish he hooked contributed no Green Light Points at all; they were all White Light Points.
Looking at the dwindling Red-tailed Spiritual Fish in the clear pond, Ji Yang sighed. In the end, he released all the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish he had caught; it seemed the fishing here was nearly over.
He wanted to see the fish he caught, not just the small ones; he wanted the big fish!
Even without Blue Light Points, getting two Mid-tier Spiritual Plants would be nice!
Ji Yang felt very disappointed as he gazed at Jingtan Peak above.
He missed Ye Wuchen on the first day!
However, when Ji Yang sensed the sword wall outside, his body suddenly stood straight! A hint of brilliance appeared in his eyes!
He had been at the Foundation Establishment stage before, but now he was in the Golden Core stage!
He might just be able to break through!
Ji Yang packed away his fishing rod, hesitating for a moment before reeling in another Red-tailed Spiritual Fish. Since he was using love to tempt that earth dog, it was clear that it was very greedy!
Every time it ate the spiritual grains, it seemed as if it wanted to eat itself to death!
After putting away the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish, Ji Yang flew towards the edge of Jingtan Peak.
Soon, he felt the presence of the sword wall ahead.
At this moment, the sword energy remained silent, but Ji Yang could feel its power; any attempt he made to break through would surely provoke a response.
"Remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder!"
It had already been half a month! This sword energy had to be repaid after five encounters!
The next moment, Ji Yang activated his Feather Transformation state and attempted to break through!
After advancing to the Golden Core stage, Ji Yang’s Feather Transformation worked even better. Once fully transformed, he appeared to be a faint white in the void, completely hidden.
He had hoped for a chance this time.
But when Ji Yang entered the range of the sword wall, he quickly retreated.
These sword energies grew stronger against strength! The feeling of charging through this time was much like the last! The True Essence within him was depleting rapidly.
It seemed his cheap master had decided to make him suffer in the sect!
Ji Yang sighed and headed back to the peak!
“Woof!”
Upon seeing Ji Yang return, Little Black ran over, wagging his tail happily.
If Ji Yang hadn’t activated the Breathing Technique of All Things, he would have thought Little Black was genuinely welcoming him.
But in truth, Little Black’s "woof" meant:
"I really want to bite you!"
Ji Yang forced a smile and tossed the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish from his storage bag.
“Here you go, for you!”
As Ji Yang smiled and hurled the fish into the air, Little Black stood frozen, not moving at all.
The Red-tailed Spiritual Fish described a perfect arc in the air before landing with a plop on the ground.
This greedy Little Black surprisingly did not bite down; instead, it took a small step back.
Ji Yang felt a bit puzzled and thought maybe he was not friendly enough, so he smiled and said,
“Come on, Little Black, it’s time to eat fish!”
“I caught it just for you!”
But at that moment, Ji Yang’s words sounded like a devil’s temptation to Little Black, echoing in its ears:
“Come on, Little Black, let’s go!”
“Once you finish eating, you can leave!”
Coupled with Ji Yang’s eerie smile, it made Little Black uneasy.
Sensing Little Black’s thoughts, Ji Yang’s expression changed urgently, and he shouted,
“Eat! After you eat, go take care of the spiritual field! No resting tonight!”
Seeing Ji Yang like this, Little Black picked up the Red-tailed Spiritual Fish from the ground without a second thought and began to enjoy it.
Seeing this, Ji Yang felt helpless!
A dog born to be exploited! And it still had a rebellious streak!
So hard to manage!
