Chapter 286: Star Spirit Fish!

"A Third Tier fishing spot!"

"The Yue Hai fishing spot is actually a Third Tier fishing spot!"

"Hiss! Should I run to Mars or Jupiter to try it out next time?"

"The Star Sea is also a sea, and the Milky Way is also a river!"

Su Ping looked up at the starry sky in excitement, the more he thought about it, the more joy he felt in his heart.

It took a good while for Su Ping to suppress the joy and impulse in his heart.

His gaze returned to Yue Hai.

After swallowing the Spirit Herb in his mouth and digesting its medicinal power, which left his whole body feeling warm, Su Ping also began to fish.

Su Ping was quite curious about the Third Tier fish at the Yue Hai fishing spot, especially the specialty catch, the Liuwen Moonlight Butterfly.

Su Ping spent an entire day to finish his three hundred fishing attempts.

There was no extra Fishing Experience boost for a Third Tier fishing spot.

So, his fishing level had just broken through to Level 6,

reaching: 【Current Fishing Level: 6 (20/10000)】

Fishing Level 6 did not add any content to the Fishing Mall.

However, Su Ping could intuitively feel that after breaking through a level, his fishing speed would slightly increase, and the probability of catching rare and precious fish would also increase.

This improvement is more obvious at lower-tier fishing spots.

Su Ping looked at the fishing warehouse.

With this day's effort, he had gained an additional 200 Small Starlight Fish, 99 Large Starlight Fish, and one Star Spirit Fish.

A Small Starlight Fish can be exchanged for 30 Fishing Coins, and a Large Starlight Fish can be exchanged for 60 Fishing Coins.

The value is a full six times higher than the same catch at the Second Tier!

However, Su Ping is not short on Fishing Coins right now, so naturally, he would not use them for exchange.

He did not attempt it on the Moon Surface; after packing up his fishing gear, setting up a simple Dharma Array, and reminding the Golden Core Spirit Beasts on the Moon Surface to be careful and protect themselves,

Su Ping returned to the Pot Heaven.

Pot Heaven.

Su Ping took out one Small Starlight Fish and one Large Starlight Fish from the warehouse.

Then he discovered that these two fish were worthy of being products of Yue Hai.

They looked full of magic, as if they were two translucent little fish that had run out of a painting, emitting a blue light.

The Small Starlight Fish was about the size of a little finger, and the Large Starlight Fish was only the size of a palm.

They could float and swim in the air, emitting faint blue light ripples as they swam.

Su Ping's heart stirred, and after opening his mouth to swallow these two starlight fish of different sizes,

he immediately felt that his Dharma Power recovery speed seemed to have increased a little bit.

Although it was faint, that was judging by the standards of his current Golden Core Late Stage cultivation.

In fact, if a Qi Refining cultivator were to consume them, their Qi recovery speed could increase by more than double.

For them, it would definitely count as an extremely rare heaven-sent treasure.

Furthermore, Su Ping also sensed another value of these Starlight Fish.

The Small and Large Starlight Fish cannot increase the Spirit Qi level of the Pot Heaven.

But once they are illuminated by sunlight, moonlight, or starlight,

the Small and Large Starlight Fish can actually absorb these rays and then release Spirit Qi!

This Spirit Qi is very weak, not even as good as a place with thin Spirit Qi like the Nanhuang Qundao.

However!

This is a breakthrough from nothing to something!

And if the Spirit Qi produced by one or two is not enough, what about one hundred or two hundred?

Could he rely on these Starlight Fish to artificially create a Star Spirit Vein on Water Blue Star or other places?

"With a steady stream of Spirit Qi, my sustainable development on Water Blue Star can finally be considered truly sustainable!"

Su Ping then took out the Star Spirit Fish he had obtained.

【Star Spirit Fish, Quality: Rare, can contract a member of the same race to become a Star Spirit Body, can be kept in the Pot Heaven to slightly increase the concentration of Spirit Qi!】

"Contract a member of the same race to become a Star Spirit Body?"

Su Ping was first surprised that a non-specialty catch could also have a Rare rating.

Then, after seeing the description, he curiously rubbed his chin.

"Contract a member of the same race, which means it can only be contracted to the human race, right?"

"A Rare rating won't be simple."

"Hmm... let's do an experiment."

Su Ping looked at the workers working hard in the Pot Heaven at this moment.

There was Teresa with the Natural Affinity Spirit Body, and Shanawati with the Blood Talisman Spirit Body, both working hard on their respective mountain peaks.

He Mao Chun Yi Lang with the Nether Ghost Body and Zhang Qiudao with the Sharp Metal Sword Body were not there, but they could be summoned at any time.

Besides, regarding the human race, could his partners also be included?

Su Ping's gaze looked toward Qumo Zhenren Yunkong, Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden Sakura, and the others.

But after selecting the Star Spirit Fish,

Su Ping discovered that none of these partners could be selected.

Clearly, these humans from other worlds were not considered the same race as Su Ping.

Although they look similar on the outside.

With no other choice, Su Ping had to choose Shanawati nearby.

Compared to natural affinity, Shanawati's Spirit Body is currently not bad, and she has cultivation value.

Even if she encounters a small problem, she will go on strike for a period of time.

It only affects the production of Talismans.

For the current Su Ping, this is nothing unacceptable.

In the blink of an eye.

Su Ping appeared outside the small house where Shanawati was located.

He saw Shanawati playing games with the Lamp Spirit and the Tanuki Boy.

Su Ping did not speak, releasing just a tiny bit of his aura.

Immediately!

After the Lamp Spirit felt this aura, it shuddered and immediately fled back into the oil lamp at Shanawati's waist.

As for the Tanuki Boy, he let out a cry of alarm and hurriedly knelt down, bumping his head against the ground.

"Master?"

Shanawati trembled slightly, reacted, and hurriedly opened the door, immediately seeing the Ghost God Lord wrapped in black mist.

Seeing the door open, the Tanuki Boy's raised rear end went even higher.

On the contrary, Shanawati seemed unable to feel Su Ping's aura; she bowed slowly and brought out the Talismans she had finished drawing during this period.

It was as if she were saying she hadn't been lazy and had completed all the assigned tasks.

Su Ping looked at Shanawati.

Relying on the Pill support provided in the recent period.

Plus the Spirit Qi concentration of the Pot Heaven.

While drawing Talismans, Shanawati had unknowingly reached the Qi Refining Late Stage.

If he could have had this speed back in the day, perhaps he would have become an Inner Sect Disciple of an Immortal Sect?

That's not right either; if he had become an Inner Sect Disciple back then.

He would either be waiting for death at the Zhu Feng now, or would have already died in the chaos of war, right?

That version of himself would never have been able to go Fishing, and would never have known the joy of Fishing in his entire life.

So, does having poor talent have its benefits too?

Su Ping let his mind wander for a moment, then quickly took out the Star Spirit Fish and aimed it at Shanawati.

He chose to use it.

Instantly, a questioning voice emerged in Shanawati's mind.

It was asking whether Shanawati was willing to accept the gift and become the other party's Star Spirit Body.

Shanawati had long been completely obedient to the Master before her.

She bent down, gently nodding while giving her consent in her heart.

The Star Spirit Fish disappeared from Su Ping's hand.

Faint starlight emerged from Shanawati's body.

At the same time.

A trace of astonishment flashed through Su Ping's eyes.

Immediately, this trace of astonishment turned into wild joy.

"It actually has such a wonderful use!"

"It is worthy of its rare rating!"

Su Ping nodded slightly to acknowledge Shanawati, and after encouraging her with a few words, he left behind a large quantity of Pills.

He also assigned the White Dog Boy, who had been drawn from a card pull earlier, to Shanawati as her helper and playmate.

Immediately, Su Ping returned to the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

He took out a blank Talisman.

Then, Su Ping pricked his index finger and, using his blood as the material, drew a blood-flashing Gathering Qi Talisman in one go.

This Gathering Qi Talisman was at least of Second Tier standard, far exceeding the quality of an ordinary Gathering Qi Talisman.

Su Ping looked at this super-high-level Talisman that his former self could never have drawn in a lifetime.

He couldn't help but beam with joy.

Su Ping had not expected the effect of the Star Spirit Fish to be so useful.

As long as the other party is willing, and is of his own race.

After contracting to become his Star Spirit Body.

He can obtain one hundred percent of the other party's Spirit Body and skills.

And as the other party grows, his related Spirit Body skills can also be improved simultaneously.

Su Ping has now contracted Shanawati.

So he is now also a Blood Talisman Spirit Body, a one-in-a-thousand-year occurrence, and has mastered Second Tier Talisman drawing skills.

Furthermore, this Blood Talisman Spirit Body is equivalent to an external Spirit Tool effect.

It will not conflict with the Immortal Body he possesses.

"If I have another Star Spirit Fish next time, I can also possess a Nether Ghost Body, a Sharp Metal Sword Body..."

"I can learn those Great Divine Abilities too!"

"It's just a pity that the cooldown time for the Third Tier fishing spot is even longer... It takes six months to recover the full three hundred Fishing attempts!"

…………

Su Ping did not lack cultivation like Shanawati; he possessed the cultivation of the Golden Core Late Stage.

He went directly to the Blood God Secret Realm, and after finding the Vice Pavilion Master of the Qianqi Wanfa Pavilion, he obtained the complete collection of Tier 3 and Tier 4 Talismans from the other party.

He also took the other party's advice and took an Inheritance Jade Slip of a Talisman Grandmaster.

Afterwards, in his spare time from cultivation, Su Ping added drawing talismans as a way to balance work and rest.

After obtaining the Blood Talisman Spirit Body, Su Ping finally experienced the joy of a talisman genius learning and drawing talismans.

The talisman explanations that previously seemed like heavenly books were now, upon reading them again, all resolved with ease.

Relying on the reinforcement of his cultivation, in just one week, Su Ping caught up to the total knowledge Shanawati had learned during this period.

And he mastered several Tier 3 talismans.

At the same time, considering the existence of the Star Spirit Body.

Su Ping once again increased the intensity of training for the workers from his hometown.

Including Zhou Xuan, the welfare and treatment of these workers were improved once again.

Regarding his state of mind cultivation.

He also had a way to resolve it quickly with the help of the Dream Giant Snake Xiaomeng.

Following a pile of pills stuffed into them.

Plus various Secret Techniques applied to them.

Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao, the two Daoist sect seeds—one having started cultivation the earliest, and the other having a Spirit Body most adept at increasing Dharma Power and improving cultivation—reached Qi Refining Perfection the earliest.

They were summoned into the Pot Heaven, and after taking a drop of Purification Spirit Medicine.

They were brought into the Dream Realm by the specially summoned Dream Giant Snake to begin a journey of tempering their hearts.

Because he knew that the stronger the Star Spirit Body was, the stronger he himself would be.

Su Ping also attached great importance to the trials of these candidates.

He specially prepared Spirit Wine, Spirit Tea, and all kinds of delicious food on the table.

Then, while eating and drinking, he watched the fast-forward footage provided by the Dream Giant Snake.

In the dream, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao were thrown into a Demon Beast forest similar to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

And then they were hunted by a large group of various Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beasts were all between the Qi Refining Late Stage and Qi Refining Perfection.

At first, they only appeared individually.

As Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao became familiar with the feeling of combat, the number of Demon Beasts increased accordingly.

Then, after two weeks of slaughter in the dream.

Zhou Xuan was unfortunately eliminated.

Zhang Qiudao, however, after watching Zhou Xuan—who had fought alongside him as a partner for two weeks—be torn apart by the Demon Beasts.

Suddenly had his Spirit Body awaken and erupt.

Even though he had not yet reached Foundation Establishment, he displayed the power of the Small Success realm of the Sharp Metal Killing Divine Sword divine ability.

Once the Golden Light divine sword appeared, countless Demon Beasts were slaughtered.

Then, this Zhang Qiudao continued to fight in the dream where the difficulty kept increasing until the one-month mark.

Only then did he fail to continue erupting, and he was surrounded and sent out of the dream by Foundation Establishment Early Stage Demon Beasts.

After accepting the dream trial, Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao were arranged in the guest rooms of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion to make their breakthrough.

Zhou Xuan sat cross-legged in the clean room, feeling the abundant Spirit Qi, and he could not help but sigh.

"I, too, can finally reach Foundation Establishment!"

"I wonder if my speed is considered fast or slow among the Outer Sect Disciples?"

"And that Daoist Zhang, he is the true heaven-gifted talent, right? He entered the sect later than me, yet his performance in the trial Secret Realm left me incredibly amazed!"

Zhou Xuan recalled the scenes in the dream, feeling that he had learned a lot from that trial.

Looking again at the Foundation Establishment Pill left by his Grandmaster in front of him.

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind and physical condition, then picked up the Foundation Establishment Pill that was emitting a faint white light and consumed it.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was a new batch made using the scraps of precious Spirit Herbs produced by Su Ping.

The effect was at least 30% better than the Foundation Establishment Pills commonly used in the Cultivation World before!

Better Foundation Establishment Pills, better Foundation Establishment techniques, and a better Foundation Establishment Cave Abode environment.

Plus the Purification Spirit Medicine provided to purify and remove various sequelae caused by cultivation.

As well as the state of mind tempered by the dream trial.

It could be said that Su Ping had already provided the best environment of favorable timing, geographical advantages, and human support for these candidates under his command.

If they still could not succeed in Foundation Establishment, Su Ping felt it could only be said that someone must have offended the God of Bad Luck.

After Zhou Xuan took the pill, it did not take long for him to enter a state of meditation.

Suddenly, two small Spirit Qi vortices appeared in the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

There was no help for it; the Spirit Qi level of the Pot Heaven was too high now, and breaking through to Foundation Establishment only deserved this much of a phenomenon.

A massive amount of high-quality Spirit Qi surged into the bodies of Zhou Xuan and Zhang Qiudao.

Then, the Spirit Qi in Zhou Xuan and the others' bodies turned into Spiritual Liquid in the blink of an eye, smoothly and successfully!

Not long after, the Spirit Qi completed its transformation into Spiritual Liquid within the two of them.

Accompanied by the feeling of a barrier being broken.

Both of them, at almost the same time, became Foundation Establishment grand cultivators within the Pot Heaven!

It was just that neither of them knew what level Foundation Establishment actually counted as among the extraordinary.

Everyone feels that they have only been cultivating for such a short amount of time.

Could it be... that a Foundation Establishment cultivator really doesn't amount to much?

They are completely unaware that in the Cultivation World, a single Foundation Establishment cultivator is enough to establish a cultivation family.

Twenty years ago, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could even manage a fairly large Market!
