Chapter 398: The Fishing Trip

ainst other people's taboos. Besides, Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia should know how to get out. I'm lucky anyway, and I don't have to rack my brains about getting out again.As they journeyed home, everyon..."Heavy water appears, star stone emerges Where did you hear that from" the woman with wooden chopsticks frowned.

“I, Zhao Yuanjun, have studied this Star Stone for generations, so I know more than ordinary people.” Zhao Yuanjun said calmly.

"No matter who researched it, since heavy water appeared, you tell me, where is this Ji Xing Stone" Zuo Xian rubbed his hands with an expectant look.

"Are you saying that star-eyed fish would appear in heavy water" Huang Lao Gui squinted his eyes and said.

"Indeed, on a night of full moon, starlight is also the most abundant. The Star-Eyed Fish swallows the essence of the moon and stars. People say that the Star-Eyed Fish only inhabit Lake of Silent Stars, but they don't know that the Star-Eyed Fish prefer to lurk in heavy water." Zhao Yuanjun's eyes sparkled with intelligence, giving him a look of wisdom.

“Hey, Zhao Daoist, you newcomer, you seem to know quite a bit about the Ji Xing Stone and the Star-Eyed Fish. Since that's the case, why are you here with us searching for the Star-Eyed Fish” Zuo Xian looked at Zhao Yuanjun with some caution.

“Of course, my abilities are insufficient to deal with the Star-Eyed Stonefish. Moreover, Silent Star Lake is vast and boundless. It would be extremely difficult for me alone to find this heavy water location. Besides, Star-Eyed Stonefish have multiple fish eyes, and when their eyes fall, they become Silent Star Stones. I only need my allotted share, and I don't demand more. After all, relying on the help of fellow cultivators is reasonable.” Zhao Yuanjun explained.

Left Xian chuckled twice and remained silent. Others also found Zhao Yuanjun's words to be reasonable.

"In that case, don't be stingy with your magic anymore. Since the journey on the water of heavy water is quite difficult, everyone should go and take a look at it. If any star-eyed fish appear, we will work together to kill them. As for the silent star stones, whoever contributes more effort first will get a bigger share." The woman in wooden hairpins said coldly, her figure already soaring into the sky.

"We've been waiting for years, and finally the Xingmu Stonefish has appeared. Such a good opportunity, we can't miss it." Huang Laogui chuckled deeply, then flew out as well.

Zhao Li, because he was only at the peak of Qi Refining, couldn't do much to help with what came next, so he stayed on the wooden boat.

"Wait a moment, Lu Daoist." Zhao Yuanjun secretly transmitted his voice to Lu Xia Tian as he was about to fly with his sword.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, is there anything else" Lu Xia Tian didn't expect Zhao Yuanjun to call out to him at this time.

"Lu Daoyou, what happened to your leg Fighting the Star-Eyed Fish with magical methods was very dangerous." Zhao Yuanjun asked aloud.

"This is an old injury sustained during a duel with cultivators from another realm. It needs to be treated using this Jixing Stone."

Zhao Yuanjun said, "I see that these people's skills are not weak. Although Lu Dao You has injuries to his legs, he has been cultivating for many years, but they don't know that Lu Dao You has practiced the art of concealing breath, and they are unclear about Lu Dao You's specific strength. The two of us are probably not strong among these people. Besides, my granddaughter is only in the Qi refining period, and she is the least influential one inside. I'm afraid that only the two of us can join forces to have a slight advantage when distributing the Ji Xing Stone."

"Well then, let's just see how things go and take action together."

Lu Xia tian transmitted his voice back, although this Zhao Yuanjun had some suspicious points, Lu Xia tian didn't care too much. Every cultivator had some secrets. As long as he didn't have any bad intentions, the two would get along just fine. Moreover, this person knew so much about the Jixing Stone, which could save him a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if he went to find the whereabouts of the Jixing Stone himself, he wouldn't know how long it would take.

"That's great! With Lu Dao-you's help, we won't be afraid of anyone being rude from now on."

When Zhao Yuangun heard this, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes. Although Lu Xiaoteng looked quite bad now, with both legs losing their mobility, it would inevitably be a limitation when he fought. However, ten years ago, Lu Xiaoteng was already a Qi Refining cultivator. In Zhao Yuangun's view, Lu Xiaoteng being able to achieve Qi Refinement at such a young age meant that his talent was quite good. Now, after ten years had passed, although the aura he displayed seemed only to be at the Qi Refining stage, according to Zhao Yuangun's estimation, it should have reached at least the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was almost at the fifth level, and among the people present, his strength was already considered good.

"Grandfather, please be careful." Zhao Li perhaps had received a secret instruction from Zhao Yuanjun and did not openly show that she recognized Lu Xiaoteng.

Zhao Yuanjun gave a few more instructions, threw out a green flying knife, and along with the other foundation-building cultivators, quickly patrolled the air, searching for traces of the Xingmu fish.

For over ten days, the group searched the lake relentlessly. Occasionally, they would find whirlpools of fish activity in areas where heavy water appeared. Though they came up empty-handed, they did encounter a Starfish Eel once. However, the one who discovered it was Zuo Xian, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. The Starfish Eel he encountered was already a sixth-order demon beast. When the Starfish Eel appeared, Zuo Xian's consciousness became blurry and unstable, so much so that he couldn't even notify others. By the time he came to his senses, the Starfish Eel had vanished without a trace.

A collective groan rippled through the crowd, particularly from Yellow Old Monster, whose face darkened. He claimed to have waited here for over a decade and now, when a Stargazing Fish finally appeared, it slipped past him.

After more than ten days of searching through the skies with his sword, even the Wooden Staff Woman showed signs of fatigue on her face.

Thus, they each took turns returning to the boat to rest. After all, continuously flying in the air like this could only replenish their depleted mana through the spirit stones they had prepared. Most people couldn't afford such continuous consumption.

Despite these people's disappointment, Lu Xia Tian's heart that had been hanging in the air actually sank. After all, he had only arrived a few months ago and had already discovered the whereabouts of the Starfish Fish. These people who set sail were undoubtedly extremely lucky. As for the ice-blue flame on his leg, Lu Xia Tian hadn't had a day where he didn't want to dispel it sooner, but there was nothing he could do about such matters in a hurry.

Ships were extremely inconvenient to operate in heavy water, but over the past ten days of searching, although no trace of the star-eyed fish was found, a general idea of the heavy water area was obtained. After marking out the area of heavy water, everyone split into two groups. One group flew with their swords, searching from the air. Having learned from previous lessons, this time, there were two people acting together. The other group consisted of cultivators who had been flying in the air for too long and needed to rest on the ship. They rowed along the edge of the heavy water.

"Look, there's a floating island over there. It seems to have some energy. Let's go rest on that island. It's too tiring to stay on this ship all day long," Wu Yiyin said standing at the bow of the boat. When she saw a small island covered in lush trees appearing in her sight, she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Let's go, Island!" Zuo Xian, who was rowing at the stern of the boat, suddenly had his eyes light up. He hadn't expected to find an island floating in this heavy water area.
