Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 115 - 55: Convergence of Earth Veins, Miraculous Spirit Fish

Chapter 115: Chapter 55: Convergence of Earth Veins, Miraculous Spirit Fish

Earth Vein Spirit Fish (Three-Tailed): A spiritual object born at the convergence of the Earth Vein Spiritual Qi and Water Eye Magic, possessing magical effects.

Attributes: Maximum Constitution +5, Maximum Strength +5, limited to an increase of 1000 points per year.

Note: Depending on one’s innate talent, the increase in constitution and strength may vary, not exceeding 10,000 points.

Opening his mouth, he stuffed the little fish inside. Although it seemed like a living creature, it turned into a cool stream upon entering his throat and quickly permeated his body.

"Hint: Refined Earth Vein Spirit Fish (Three-Tailed), Maximum Constitution +10, Maximum Strength +10."

"It’s good stuff, but there’s just too little of it."

Su Yu smacked his lips and asked:

"Are there any more?"

"There are more below."

"Then quickly look for them."

Su Yu clearly felt Ao Run’s dismissive gaze.

Shrinking down in size again, he searched a bit around this spiritual cave and then found a small hole to crawl into.

This was followed by several hours of burrowing through holes, twisting left and right, passing over a dozen forks, and finally finding an exit again.

But after finding the exit, Ao Run did not go down directly. Su Yu followed up and looked out of the hole, sucking in a cold breath involuntarily.

It was an underground cave with a diameter of several kilometers. Jade pillars stood at the bottom, spiritual liquid pooled, and Earth Vein Spirit Fish swam everywhere.

One tail, two tails, up to five tails, and in the center of the spiritual pool, surrounded by many Earth Vein Spirit Fish, was an Earth Vein Immortal Fish dragging seven differently colored, glowing tails.

"So many Earth Vein Spirit Fish."

But above this underground space, from all directions, eight rune-covered chains extended from the jade walls, converging above the spiritual pool, and inserting into a constantly undulating white jade stone lock suspended in mid-air.

The surface of this stone lock was densely covered with runes, with layers of clear light formed by tiny runes continuously blooming, enveloping the spiritual pool.

Eight Desolates Prison Lock (Rare Object): A special magical treasure capable of suppressing forbidden objects, locking items, capturing spirits, and controlling spirits.

"So this thing is specifically used to imprison this group of spirit fish?"

He looked at Ao Run and asked:

"Can you get in?"

Ao Run shook his head and said:

"I can break it, but I don’t dare."

"Why not?"

"Forcibly breaking it would alert the owner of the restriction."

Su Yu was a bit surprised and said:

"You actually have something you’re afraid of?"

"Do you know the owner of this restriction?"

"I do. It is Celestial Cangtian, the master of Cangtian Temple on the upper Yuanjiang River."

"Do you know any other human cultivators?"

Ao Run gave him a disdainful look.

"Then let’s go, find another place."

The fact that these spirit fish have a master means there’s nothing we can do.

Su Yu turned to leave, planning to head back to the previous fork. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, as he was about to start, he suddenly thought of something and stopped, with Ao Run, following behind, bumping into his back, distorting his face in annoyance. Ao Run slapped the back of his head with a claw, which hit nothing as Su Yu turned into a wisp of smoke.

Su Yu swiftly transformed back to substance, wavering left and right as he merged into the tunnel sides. His voice echoed within the tunnel:

"Do you think the Eight Desolates Prison Lock seals only one side, or does it fully enclose all sides?"

Ao Run pondered for a moment and said:

"I don’t know."

"Then I’ll go and see."

Su Yu thought for a moment and drifted into the jade-like stone wall.

Estimating the depth and pressure, the jade stone was very hard, consuming more mana to tunnel through than expected, but it was still within the tolerable range. Additionally, it wasn’t far, so he tunneled along the edges to the underground space he had seen earlier.

Through the Celestial Ghost’s vision, he could clearly see a layer of restrictive magic net not far from the jade stone underground.

As he dove downwards, the magic net extended with him.

Diving to the bottommost part of the spiritual cave, the magic net extended all the way down.

"It really doesn’t have any dead ends."

Su Yu spent about ten minutes circling around, confirming there were indeed no loopholes, and had no choice but to return.

No help for it, he could only return and take a different fork, flying in another direction.

Half an hour later, one person and one flood dragon arrived at another spiritual cave.

Unfortunately, although this spiritual cave had gathered some spiritual liquid, there were no spirit fish.

One person and one flood dragon did not linger and continued to swim downward.

Five minutes later, the passage was at an end, with no way ahead.

One person and one flood dragon returned to the original path, took another fork, and continued downward. After an hour, they found another large spiritual cave and saw a second Eight Desolates Prison Lock and a densely packed pool of Earth Vein Spirit Fish sealed within.

"Could this place be the so-called fish farm of Celestial Cangtian?"

"It’s very possible."

Discovering one was chance, but discovering two in succession was not.

Two hours later, one person and one flood dragon discovered a third fish farm sealed by the Eight Desolates Prison Lock.

Su Yu said nothing, following Ao Run to change paths again, then after half an hour, they reached the end of this path too.

While turning around, Su Yu stopped and asked suspiciously:

"Are you sure you didn’t forget the way?"

Ao Run, small and delicate, scratched her chin and said confidently:

"I didn’t forget; it’s just that these paths are all the same, so I got them mixed up."

"Really?"

She was somewhat indignant:

"If you don’t believe it, forget it. We’ll go back."

"Hold on."

Su Yu reached out and grabbed her tail, bringing her back and stuffing her into his arms in her true form:

"You go into the spiritual cage, and I’ll burrow underground to check."

The Blue Jade Flood Dragon swayed side to side, with its claws on its hips, loudly exclaiming:

"You don’t believe me?"

"I believe you; I’m just taking a shortcut."

"Hmph!"

Perhaps finding a way out, she did not insist and swiftly vanished into the spiritual cage.

Su Yu shook his head helplessly, transforming back into the Celestial Ghost, but he did not dig down directly. Instead, he pulled up the panel to prepare for an upgrade.

He spent a full 4000 cultivation points and 175 Dao cultivation points to enhance the Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill to the fiftieth level, successfully developing one of the Five Elements Thunder Skills, the Earth God Thunder.

Fifty Levels of Celestial Ghost Transformation: Qi and Blood 100,000, Mana 20,000, Constitution 3,000, Strength 5,000, Speed 2,000 km/hour, Celestial Ghost Body, Five Elements Escape Skill, Substance to Void Transformation, Gui Water Divine Thunder, Bing Fire Divine Thunder, Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Earth God Thunder.

The Wood God Thunder is the only one left for the Five Elements Thunder Skill to be complete.

Su Yu still had 1,438.1 million slaughter experience and 823 Dao cultivation points left at his disposal, mostly accumulated from the time he left the Chixiao Sword Vein, approximately over a month ago.

Relying on Ao Run’s Meridian Cold Tide Monster Gathering, he could accumulate over six million cultivation points per day, reaching as high as 180 million per month.

The remaining cultivation points were enough to level up either the Daoist Sword Formulas or Celestial Ghost Transformation Skill by ten levels.

After some consideration, Su Yu decided to hold off on leveling for now and deal with it later.

If it was enough, he would keep it to upgrade the Sword Formulas; if not, then he would upgrade accordingly.

Closing the panel, with a thought, Su Yu turned substance to void, transforming into a wisp of light smoke, merging into the jade stone beneath his feet.

Diving into the earth, he clearly sensed the surrounding environment.

Exerting mana and swiftly diving down, about seven minutes later, he perceived an unusual fringe at the edge, swiftly approaching to find a thigh-thick tunnel.

Adjusting his direction, he followed the tunnel down, a few minutes later reaching the tunnel’s end.

Continuing past the tunnel and diving down, after over ten more minutes, he discovered an underground cavity. Peeking from the cavity wall, his eyes brightened; this spiritual cave had a spiritual pool with spirit fish but no Eight Desolates Prison Lock.

Immediately jumping out from above the spiritual cave, the spiritual cage at his waist trembled, as Ao Run emerged and excitedly dove down.

"Damn!"

Su Yu grabbed her tail and flung her back, quickly diving into the spiritual pool, pinning the fattest Five-Tailed Earth Vein Spirit Fish inside and shoving it into his mouth. With both hands, he scooped and encircled a few others, while Ao Run resumed her true form, over a hundred meters long, opening her mouth and sucking in the remaining dozens of spirit fish.

"Save some for me."

He hastily stuffed a few into his mouth, flew to Ao Run’s mouth, and fished out one that hadn’t been swallowed.

"Hint: Refined Earth Vein Spirit Fish (Five-Tailed), Maximum Constitution +30, Maximum Strength +30."

"Hint: Unknown factor influence, Maximum Constitution +60, Maximum Strength +60."

"Hint: Refined Earth Vein Spirit Fish (Four-Tailed), Maximum Constitution +10, Maximum Strength +10."

"Hint: Unknown factor influence, Maximum Constitution....."

A total of seven: one Five-Tailed, two Four-Tailed, one Three-Tailed, three Two-Tailed, amounting to a 64-point increase in Constitution and Strength, with double talent bonus, totaling 128 points in Constitution and Strength.

"Great!"

Su Yu wiped his mouth and stored Ao Run back, waiting for the Celestial Ghost’s mana to recover before continuing to dive down.
