Chapter 89 - A Spirit Fish

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhou Feng τhought for a moment and opened the letter.

“So it’s the person behind Han Qi!”

After reading the general contents of the letter, his brows relaxed.

From the contents of the letter, it seemed that the person behind Han Qi couldn’t do anything to him. Or it could be said that they couldn’t do anything to Zhou Feng as long as he was in the Medicine Tower.

Since that was the case, he didn’t take this letter to heart. In any case, he should be relatively safe as long as he was in the Medicine Tower.

During this period of safety, Zhou Feng could take advantage of this period of time to deal with the internal and hidden injuries in his body, as well as completely turn the Purple Jade Bell into his own soul artifact.

Zhou Feng even planned to start refining attack-type Gu in the Medicine Tower.

Of course, it would be best if he could become a Pill Master.

‘But I didn’t expect the people behind Han Qi to be able to find out that I am at the Medicine Tower so quickly! It seems that I was right to stay out of the limelight temporarily!’

Zhou Feng felt that his previous decision was correct.

He had been too rash before. He could obtain unlimited passive skills with his skill panel, so the longer he dragged this out, the stronger he would become. There was no need for him to be so aggressive.

With that, he threw the letter aside, picked up the newly made fishing rod, and prepared to go fishing.

…

“How is it? Have you contacted him?”

“Still no! But I’ve already sent someone to deliver the letter to Zhou Feng!”

“I heard that Zhou Feng entered the Medicine Tower with the Grand Elder’s token…”

“If…”

At present, all the Han Elders were gathered together, discussing Zhou Feng’s matter.

To be honest, Han Ming had never thought that Zhou Feng would actually hide at the Medicine Tower.

Previously, in order to take back the Purple Jade Bell, Han Ming had already planned to sell out his entire clan in exchange for a true disciple to take action.

This true disciple was a strong contender for the Sect Leader position. His name was Huang Yang, and he had a Grade-1 Soul Altar!

Moreover, he had the special Fiery Sun Physique, and his battle prowess was close to that of an ordinary Elder.

He had also been hinting that the Han Clan would submit to him. However, other than Huang Yang, there were many other contenders in the sect, and their strength did not pale to Huang Yang’s. Naturally, the Han Clan would not place their bets so early.

Still, using the entire clan to rely on Huang Yang as a price to exchange for the Purple Jade Bell was not unacceptable.

Unfortunately, after Han Ming’s investigation, they found that Zhou Feng was hiding in the Medicine Tower and had inexplicably become an apprentice.

This was a bit troublesome!

The Medicine Tower was a place that even Huang Yang did not dare to provoke rashly.

“Let’s see what the situation is first!”

“Also, investigate if Zhou Feng has any good friends or relatives this time!”

“If it really doesn’t work…”

“…”

The Han clansmen discussed for a long time, but they did not come up with any good ideas.

As long as Zhou Feng stayed at the Medicine Tower, it would be very difficult for them to make a move.

In the end, they resorted to using Zhou Feng’s relatives and friends to threaten him.

Han Ming even gave the order to investigate everything about Zhou Feng, even his deeds before entering the sect.

As long as the Purple Jade Bell didn’t reach his hands, Han Ming wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.

That was a spiritual artifact!

‘I might be able to get rid of the restrictions of the clan with this spiritual artifact! Even the restrictions of the sect!’

Han Ming looked at the Elders, who exuded a rotten aura and felt a wave of disgust in his heart.

Meanwhile…

Zhou Feng was relaxed. The pressure that had been lingering in his heart had disappeared.

Ever since he had entered the Tri-Gu Sect, an invisible mountain-like pressure had been pressing down on his shoulders.

Now, that mountain had disappeared for a short period.

“Start fishing!”

He casually found a spot by the stream and swung the fishing rod in his hand. The bright and shiny fishing hook fell into the water.

Zhou Feng slightly adjusted his sitting posture, his expression somewhat relaxed.

Under normal circumstances, a fish would rarely approach a hook without bait.

Yet, a fish immediately bit said hook with the support of the passive Fisherman!

“So fast!?”

Zhou Feng subconsciously pulled the fishing rod, and a large fish instantly came out of the water. This fish was at least as long as his arm, and it even had a single horn. Its scales were slightly black, and its sharp teeth were like sawteeth.

The strange fish immediately swung its tail at Zhou Feng. Its powerful tail even let out a piercing sound in the air.

“Go!”

Zhou Feng immediately summoned the Purple Jade Bell from his Soul Altar.

A dignified purple light enveloped his body while the seemingly small bell slowly floated above his head.

Dang!

The Purple Jade Bell hit the strange fish, and its body instantly burst open.

Under Zhou Feng’s endless supply of Spiritual Qi, the Purple Jade Bell became more and more mystical.

At that moment, Zhou Feng had a feeling that the Purple Jade Bell seemed to have come to life.

It was really too strange!

How long had it been? The Purple Jade Bell had actually changed so much?

“Eh? There’s a fish in the fish’s belly?”

After the strange fish’s body broke apart, Zhou Feng suddenly saw a fish in its belly.

“It’s transparent?”

The small fish was only the size of a finger and transparent.

Except for the head, the rest of the fish’s body was transparent. Finding that fish there would be very difficult if one didn’t look carefully.

“Did I trigger that extremely small probability!?”

Zhou Feng wondered if he had triggered the passive skill and caught the treasure.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he had done so because the stream was so small. How could there be such a big fish?

The strange fish from before was as long as his arm.

Zhou Feng took the transparent fish and smelled it. A fragrance came from the small fish.

‘There’s no fishy smell? Instead, there’s a fragrance? This couldn’t be a spirit fish, right?’

While he was hesitating, the Demon-Devouring Gu suddenly reacted in his body, which had not moved for a long time.

“This is good stuff? Directly swallow it?”

After refining it into his Vital Gu, Zhou Feng was now able to communicate with the Demon-Devouring Gu.

The Demon-Devouring Gu told him that the fish in his hand was good stuff. If he swallowed it, it would bring him great benefits.

Zhou Feng knew the Demon-Devouring Gu very well; only the truly good things would make it communicate with him.

Especially after Zhou Feng turned the Demon-Devouring Gu into his Vital Gu, it treated him as its family. Only when he was good could the Demon-Devouring Gu be better.

Thus, Zhou Feng was sure that the small transparent fish in his hand was one of the legendary spirit fish.

He had caught a spirit fish on his first try. This luck…

“I just wanted to relax!”

Zhou Feng swore that he had come here to let his nerves relax.. He never expected to catch a spirit fish with just one fishing attempt!
