Chapter 99: The Senior Brother Definitely Caught a Xuanwu!
As the brightness on the fishing rod increased, Ji Yang was about to reel in his catch.
“Crack!”
A sharp sound echoed in his ears, and Ji Yang felt the fishing rod loosen in his hand, causing him to lean back from the force.
However, high-level cultivators have strong self-control. Ji Yang quickly spread his power and steadied himself.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that his fishing line had actually snapped in the middle!
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment.
Did he just break his rod?
It must be the fishing line that broke!
Looking at the lost turtle, Ji Yang felt a sharp pain in his heart; he was sure it must have been a Golden Light Point! At the very least, it would have been a Purple Light Point!
As long as he didn’t catch it, his feeling had to be right.
Looking at the broken fishing line, Ji Yang sighed again.
He felt the line was decent before, but who would have thought it was a low-quality product!
What a waste!
The surrounding disciples, watching the scene, expressed their regret.
“What a pity!”
“Yeah, I think it must have been a high-level spiritual beast, not weak at all!”
“Exactly! I remember that last time, a senior brother caught a spiritual beast that looked similar and got five days taken off his punishment!”
“Nonsense! From what I saw, that spiritual beast was probably a top-tier one!”
“You’re all wrong! I think that the brother just now might have caught a Xuanwu!”
……
Listening to the chatter among the other disciples, Ji Yang widened his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless.
It’s getting more and more ridiculous!
Although he did think that the spiritual beast was indeed very strong, it couldn’t be the legendary Xuanwu of the Cultivation World.
In the Cultivation World, besides cultivators, there are also various spiritual beasts.
Many spiritual beasts are exceptionally gifted, with strong bodies and impressive Vitality, far surpassing that of cultivators. Often, cultivators of the same level cannot match them.
But cultivators excel in using Formations, magical tools, and various techniques, plus they generally cultivate at a slower pace. Thus, the living environment for spiritual beasts isn’t that great.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be the ones fishing; it would be fish catching cultivators instead.
However, in the Cultivation World, there are some extremely powerful spiritual beasts. Since their birth, they have possessed great strength, and after enduring long years, they gain unmatched power. These are known as True Spirits!
Xuanwu is one of them. It is said that this type of True Spirit has a giant body, with incredible defense, making even high-level cultivators hesitant to confront it.
Besides the Xuanwu, there are many other varieties of True Spirits, but they are very rare. Compared to cultivators, they are just a tiny drop in the ocean.
They remain hidden in the vast areas of the Cultivation World, and most cultivators may not even see one in their lifetime.
But listening to the serious discussions around him, Ji Yang suddenly felt that he probably did catch a Xuanwu after all.
Ji Yang’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a pang of regret inside.
“My turtle!”
However, the urgent matter was not to ponder this, but to figure out how to solve his fishing line problem.
If all else fails, he would have to use the fishing line from the standard fishing rod at Tianxing Lake.
But looking at the causal fishing rod in his hand, Ji Yang had a hint of confusion in his eyes.
This confusion had already crossed his mind when he used the rod before, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.
With the fishing line broken, Ji Yang’s curiosity only grew stronger.
While the original pairing wasn’t exactly suited, Ji Yang always felt something was a bit off during the process.
Now without the fishing line, he found the rod to be so perfectly natural, needing no additional fixtures.
With a mindset of just trying it out, Ji Yang began to completely focus on controlling the fishing rod in his hand.
He infused True Essence into it, and the fishing rod emitted a faint green glow once more.
But Ji Yang felt it wasn’t enough; this wasn’t the rod’s limit. He sensed it could handle more True Essence!
Ji Yang increased his output of True Essence!
The old man beside him changed his expression, looking at Ji Yang with surprise, or more accurately, at the causal fishing rod in Ji Yang’s hand, his demeanor serious.
As the green light intensified, Ji Yang furrowed his brow. He still felt that something was missing.
What exactly was lacking?
His True Essence was rich, and he was no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator; by rights, controlling this magical tool should be effortless.
Suddenly realizing something, Ji Yang’s eyes lit up as he tried to infuse a trace of primordial spirit energy into the fishing rod.
The old man nearby let out a low sigh upon seeing this, turning his gaze back to the surface of the lake without saying anything further.
As primordial spirit energy flowed into the fishing rod, it suddenly changed. An invisible green thread extended from the end of the rod.
This green thread was intangible, invisible, and untouchable, yet it felt real, and his primordial spirit could sense its existence!
What had previously felt off became seamless as the green thread emerged, bringing a smoothness to the entire rod without flaws.
Ji Yang was also astonished by the transformation of the fishing rod—so this was the true form of the causal fishing rod!
This rod wasn’t a damaged magical tool but a complete Ancient magical tool. The reason it lacked a fishing line was likely that the old man and others hadn’t figured out how to use it properly.
He had not expected to accidentally discover its use now.
However, Ji Yang still hadn’t seen the existence of a fishing hook, but he didn’t feel any discord, as if this rod was naturally made without a hook.
But how would he fish with it?
While Ji Yang puzzled over this, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl suddenly struck down towards him from the sky.
The sudden heavenly lightning did not make Ji Yang panic; as it descended, he had already sidestepped to avoid it.
After the causal fishing rod fully revealed its form, Ji Yang was already prepared for this heavenly lightning!
Ji Yang evaded, but the old man beside him did not move.
The old man was struck, his body trembling, even his white hair standing on end.
Seeing this, Ji Yang felt uneasy; it seemed the power of this heavenly lightning was much stronger.
Just as he was about to check on the old man, he saw the elder’s magical power surge, dispersing the electricity from his body.
This relieved Ji Yang; thankfully, nothing serious had happened, or he would have felt anxious.
Although the old man looked pained after being struck, he did not leave and remained sitting steadily on the fishing platform.
Seeing this, Ji Yang couldn’t help but exclaim:
“Truly impressive, Senior Brother Mei!”
The old man ignored Ji Yang, and Ji Yang didn’t mind. Instead, he focused on the fishing rod in his hand.
After infusing both True Essence and primordial spirit energy, Ji Yang had already felt the wonders of this causal fishing rod.
It seemed that the rod was made of True Essence and the line of primordial spirit energy.
As for the bait, that needed to be hooked by Ji Yang himself.
But Ji Yang felt that he hadn’t completely mastered it yet; otherwise, he wouldn’t need bait at all.
Without overthinking it, Ji Yang let his mind drift and directly withdrew the primordial spirit line before attaching a Yun Ling Dan!
He wanted to test how this brand new fishing rod felt.
Ji Yang tried to wrap a Yun Ling Dan at the end of the fishing line.
