Chapter 843 - 650: Cross-World Traverse, Underworld (Part 2)
Qin Ming pondered slightly, now that his affairs have been mostly settled, it’s time to leave this chaotic place.
So he took Baili Hui and left Treasure Harbor Market.
"Elder Lii, where are we going?" Baili Hui asked with a smiling face.
Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, "I have some matters to attend to alone, which may take some time. You should first head to Celestial Star City in the Kunlun Realm to scout the situation and settle down temporarily."
"Ah? Celestial Star City... this..." Baili Hui couldn’t help but look concerned, as the distance between the two great domains was too far, and he couldn’t reach it on his own capacity.
Qin Ming immediately took out a small pouch of Top-Grade Spirit Stones and threw it to him, "You can go to the nearby big city and travel via the Cross-Domain Transmission Array."
Baili Hui took the Spirit Stones without asking further, having spent a considerable time with Elder Lii and understanding his temper.
Doing so, he must naturally have his plans in mind.
And unexpectedly, Elder Lii would go to develop in Celestial Star City, one of the few major cities of the Human Race, extremely prosperous and resource-rich.
He couldn’t help but feel excited at the thought.
After putting away the Spirit Stones, Baili Hui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish Elder Lii a safe journey, I will settle down in Celestial Star City first."
"I wonder... how long will Elder Lii’s journey take?"
"It won’t take too long; at most over ten years, or as short as a few years," Qin Ming thought and replied.
Baili Hui was immediately relieved, and thus the two parted ways.
Qin Ming watched Baili Hui leave and, before departing this area, took an interest in an item within the Netherworld Abyss.
That would be the Soul Crossing Spirit Fish.
He had been secluded, studying Rune Refining, and now finally had some time.
Such a rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object that could enhance cultivation, native to the Netherworld Abyss, was extremely valuable.
So he released his Spirit Pets: the Heaven-Devouring Rat, Little Silver Fox, Profound Water Crocodile, and Silver-winged Frost Bee.
Master and servants went into the Devouring Abyss to fish for Spirit Fish.
Next up.
They busied themselves in the Nether River for several days but returned empty-handed, let alone catching any Soul Crossing Spirit Fish; they didn’t even see a whisker.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat sighed and returned to the Little Spirit Realm, "Sigh! Who knows what methods those who caught the Spirit Fish used?"
Even Qin Ming noticed that despite unleashing his powerful Divine Thought, he couldn’t detect the presence of Spirit Fish in the Nether River.
Just then.
Tian Ling’er, who was tending to the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field, came over. She thought for a moment and took out some cyan lotus seeds from the storage pouch, handing them to the Heaven-Devouring Rat, saying:
"Brother Mouse, try using this as bait."
The Heaven-Devouring Rat took the cyan lotus seeds from Tian Ling’er, asking in confusion: "What is this? Can it be used as bait?"
"This... these are the cyan lotus seeds I produced at the time of my Transformation, very attractive to those fish of the Water Race," Tian Ling’er explained.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s small eyes lit up with delight upon hearing this, saying joyfully, "You have something this good? Why didn’t you bring it out earlier? If I catch any Spirit Fish later, I’ll give you a few more, haha!"
Excitedly, it returned to the Devouring Abyss with the cyan lotus seeds.
Then, it found a spot in the Nether River and cast several lotus seeds emitting Tian Ling’er’s fragrant scent into a body of water.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat’s expression was tense, releasing Demon Thought to stare intently beneath the water surface.
After just a few moments.
From the water where it cast the cyan lotus seeds, countless Water Race creatures suddenly emerged, all rushing forward as if smelling a blood scent...
Among them were several semi-transparent, deep blue Spirit Fish, but differently, these Spirit Fish were much larger compared to those eaten earlier at Treasure Harbor Market.
Each one weighed about seven or eight pounds.
The Heaven-Devouring Rat used the Void Divine Technique to conceal its figure and stealthily lurked forward.
A moment later.
A loud and reckless laugh echoed:
"Hahaha! Master, I caught a Soul Crossing Spirit Fish!"
Qin Ming and Lan Bing Fairy heard and saw this fellow proudly showing off, hugging a deep blue Spirit Fish bigger than itself.
"Top-Grade Soul Crossing Spirit Fish!!"
Qin Ming merely glanced at it, and his face immediately showed a look of joy.
"It’s said that high-tier Spirit Fish of the top-grade level can increase Divinity Transformation Power, with a chance of producing ’Rebirth Pearl’ to aid in studying and cultivating Great Divine Techniques..."
Lan Bing Fairy also cast a swathe of Ice Soul Demon Light to scoop the remaining Soul Crossing Spirit Fish floundering in the water, directly throwing them into the Little Spirit Realm.
Qin Ming fetched the Spirit Fish from the Heaven-Devouring Rat and scanned its interior, revealing a transparent glass-like Treasure Bead, likely the legendary Rebirth Pearl.
This sort of Top-Grade Soul Crossing Spirit Fish caused bloody contests among major forces upon its initial appearance.
Unexpectedly, this time Qin Ming, only hoping to give it a try before leaving, obtained seven or eight Top-Grade Soul Crossing Spirit Fish, far exceeding his expectations.
And upon Qin Ming and the Heaven-Devouring Rat asking how it was done, they couldn’t help but sigh upon learning the reason.
"Didn’t expect Tian Ling’er’s Spiritual Lotus Seeds to have such an effect."
Subsequently.
Master and servants used the remaining lotus seeds to attract and captured a large batch of Spirit Fish but ceased when no more Soul Crossing Spirit Fish appeared, immediately cleaning up the site and leaving.
...
...
Several days later.
Qin Ming didn’t rush to eat those Spirit Fish but instead began to raise them in the Little Spirit Realm.
