"Rest assured, your Master is much stronger than you imagine. Venerable Saint Wrathful Thunder was once so formidable that he made all the prodigies of the Ancient Sect Nobility too terrified to even breathe loudly in his presence. However, in recent years, your Master’s temperant has llowed, and he rarely takes action. As long as it’s not soone from the Primordial Spirit Realm who attacks, no one within the Dao Body Realm can threaten your Master’s life."
With a strong jerk, Dongfang Qing hauled up a colossal fish. Its scales shimred with iridescent colors, its body was as large as a small mountain, and it had a single horn on its head and eyes like red copper. Strangely, though imnse in the lake, the fish began to shrink rapidly as soon as it was brought ashore. In the blink of an eye, it was rely arm-length, writhing and flopping on the ground, sending water splashing everywhere.
"Hahaha, little fella! I’ve been fishing for three days, and I finally caught you." Laughing, Dongfang Qing picked up the Enlightennt Fish, plucked a large grass leaf, wrapped the fish in it, and handed it to Qi Xiu. "Here, take this Enlightennt Fish back with you. Don’t eat the flesh; it’s highly toxic. Even soone in the Dao Body Realm would be bedridden for years if they consud it. Just drink the soup. Sip it slowly; one mouthful can put you into a state of enlightennt for three hours. This fish should yield about three pots of soup. By the ti you’ve finished it, it will be nearly ti for you to depart."
As Dongfang Qing was putting away his fishing rod, he seed to recall sothing. He then took out an ancient, mottled bell from his sleeve, which looked as if it had just been unearthed. "This is the Heart-Protection Bell. It can help you sense the invasion of Heart Demons and alert you. Your cultivation has been advancing too quickly lately, which might attract the covetous gaze of Outer Domain Heart Devils. If the bell rings, I will co at once. You can cultivate with peace of mind."
With Dongfang Qing, a Primordial Spirit True Venerable, acting as his protector, Qi Xiu looked at the Enlightennt Fish and Heart-Protection Bell in his hands and felt an inexplicable pressure. The more generous the conditions provided by the Sect Master, the more difficult the journey to the Southern Ming Wasteland was implied to be.
It seems I need to show so real skill. A glint flashed in his eyes. Qi Xiu exhaled a stream of Mixed Elent Qi into the Heart-Protection Bell, reviving the ancient Exotic Treasure. The plain, unadorned bell, now infused with Mixed Elent Qi, began to float. It emanated subtle ripples that spread out, sensing every movent in all directions. If a Heart Demon approached, the ancient bell would imdiately sound.
After activating the Heart-Protection Bell, Qi Xiu flicked his sleeve. Using [Drawing Talisman], he conjured a large iron pot out of thin air. With a light flick of his finger, a stream of water flowed into the pot, and a ball of fire ignited beneath it. In the blink of an eye, steam was billowing from the pot.
Looking at the Enlightennt Fish still thrashing wildly in his hands, Qi Xiu frowned. How am I supposed to cook this thing? After so thought, Qi Xiu waved his hand and tossed the entire fish into the pot. Since the Sect Master had only ntioned drinking the soup, other details were of little consequence.
The mont the Enlightennt Fish hit the boiling water, it struggled to leap out. But before it could, a domineering, resplendent golden light—a [Zhen Fu]—pressed down, trapping it firmly within the iron pot.
Rolling up his sleeves, Qi Xiu waited calmly by the side. As the sounds of the fish’s struggles in the pot grew fainter, an indescribably rich aroma began to waft out gently.
Lifting his gaze to the pot, he saw the once-clear water had transford. The simring fish soup resembled a flowing tapestry of rosy clouds. Golden sunlight spilled onto it, causing the broth to shimr with an unpredictable array of colors—red, orange, yellow, green—as dazzling as the dawn sky. The aroma of the soup, like dew-kissed herbs, perated the nostrils and reached deep into the heart, instantly invigorating the mind. It was as if one could hear the symphony of all things growing, and countless insights arose spontaneously.
The simring of the Enlightennt Fish soup concluded when a beam of golden light surged from the pot into the sky. Qi Xiu scooped so soup into a small white porcelain bowl. Bringing it to his lips, he found that although the soup appeared plain, its richness was so profound that it commanded his full attention.
With the first sip, Qi Xiu’s mind thundered, and endless inspiration gushed forth like a surging spring. If it’s going to happen, let’s go all out!
Forming the Zen ditation Seal with his hands, an imnse power that isolated him from all things instantly descended, enveloping Qi Xiu. Hunyuan Palace!
Seated within the Hunyuan Palace, Qi Xiu lifted his head slightly. A magnificent, ten-thousand-zhang Virtue Golden Wheel erged behind him. Within the gentle and pure rit Golden Light, a simple, unpretentious lamp imbued with Dao Charm appeared. Hunyuan All-Encompassing Luminance!
With a flip of his palm, he swallowed the Spiritual dicines he had previously obtained that enhanced comprehension—such as [Ghee Shortbread] and [Thousand Hearts Treasure Broth]—along with the fish soup.
With all buffs stacked to the extre, Qi Xiu’s eyes transford into orbs of brilliant white light, captivating and seemingly boundless. True cultivation begins now!
