Chapter 18: Medium-grade Spirit Stone, Subdue the Spirit Fish

Although there are many spiritual trees in this forest, most of them have barely reached the threshold of first-level spiritual trees, and are still a long way from the second-level spiritual trees required to breed 'Jadeite Ganoderma'.

Wei Zhong did find a few rotten second-level spiritual trees, but there was no Ganoderma lucidum on them, let alone 'Jade Marrow Ganoderma'.

Of course, it is also possible that they were taken away by someone when the secret realm was opened last time, and after a year, no trace was left.

After searching for a while, I found nothing.

However, this forest is really big for this secret realm. Wei Zhong has been in the secret realm for so long, but this is the first time he has seen such a large dense forest on such a mountain. It is a bit incredible.

Walking along the source of the waterfall, Wei Zhong passed through countless trees and finally caught a glimpse of a ray of light.

"this······"

Walking out of the spiritual wood, Wei Zhong saw a green lake.

It turns out that the source of this waterfall is this lake. No wonder the surrounding forests grow so lush.

Walking to the lake, Wei Zhong scooped up a bubble of water.

The rich spiritual energy almost filled Wei Zhong's palm.

The fog in this forest is thick, probably because of this lake.

Looking at the mist rising from the lake and being wrapped by the surrounding trees, Wei Zhong made his own judgment.

It is difficult to find second-level spiritual trees in the forest, so could they be in this lake?

Wei Zhong guessed.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a strong spiritual light emerging from the lake, and then it disappeared under the floating water.

"That is······"

Since Wei Zhong entered the secret realm, he had never seen such a strong spiritual light. It was definitely an extraordinary treasure.

But looking at the lake in front of him, Wei Zhong hesitated again.

This lake is not recorded in any intelligence. If there are monsters in the lake, I'm afraid I won't be their opponent.

After struggling for a while, Wei Zhong finally made up his mind.

Go down and take a look, but don't dive too deep the first time. In case of an accident, return immediately.

With my own strength, ordinary first-level monsters are no match for me. Even in this lake, it would not be difficult for me to escape if I were defeated.

Having made up his mind, Wei Zhong no longer hesitated and dived into the lake.

The lake water temperature is not low, but rather warm and clear. You can vaguely see the trees outside the lake through the upper layer of the lake surface.

But it was a little dark below and the light could not reach.

Wei Zhong began to look for that flash of inspiration.

There are some tiny fish in the lake, but unfortunately they are not spiritual fish. They are just ordinary fish with some spiritual energy.

Wei Zhong looked around intently and finally saw the spiritual light driven by the water flow.

He kicked his legs and swam towards it.

Wei Zhong had never practiced water-avoiding or water-escape spells, otherwise he would be even faster.

But he is a cultivator after all, and is much stronger than ordinary people.

Wei Zhong passed through the school of fish and grabbed the spiritual light in his hand. It was a stone emitting white light.

"Middle-grade spiritual stone?"

Wei Zhong was delighted. In this world of immortal cultivation, a medium-grade spirit stone was worth at least a hundred low-grade spirit stones. However, there was still a shortage of people, and it was often necessary to pay a premium of twenty low-grade spirit stones to get one.

It was the first time that Wei Zhong obtained this kind of spirit stone in reality.

Whether in the Yan family or in the Mingyue Market of the Qingmu Sect, lower-grade spirit stones are used as trading equivalents.

I didn't expect to gain such a lot in this secret place.

Looking around, Wei Zhong discovered several spiritual lights.

He immediately mobilized his own spiritual power, patrolled around, and picked them up one by one.

Unfortunately, not all spiritual lights come from mid-grade spiritual stones. The dimmer ones are just low-grade spiritual stones.

However, this was enough to make Wei Zhong happy. In the end, Wei Zhong obtained a total of three medium-grade spirit stones and eleven low-grade spirit stones, thus earning back the ticket fee for this trip to the secret realm.

"With so many spirit stones, could there be a vein of spirit stones here?" Wei Zhong couldn't help but speculate.

Suddenly, there was a violent shaking sound coming from the bottom of the lake, causing waves to rise in the lake, and the fish in the water were frightened and fled in all directions.

A lot of spiritual lights gushed out from below, and Wei Zhong finally knew where these spiritual stones came from.

Looking at the dark bottom of the lake, it is difficult for light from the outside to reach here, so it appears dim to the naked eye.

But with the help of the soul-seeking technique, Wei Zhong saw spiritual lights rushing around.

There was even a piece of spiritual light gathered together among them, forming a huge individual.

"Monster!"

Wei Zhong's face changed. He picked up the two middle-grade spirit stones that were pushed to his side by the lake water, turned around and rushed towards the lake.

It is very unwise to fight with such monsters in the water, Wei Zhong must rush out of the water as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual energy gushing out from the surroundings hit Wei Zhong like a shock wave, causing Wei Zhong's body to become disorderly.

The monster behind has already rushed forward.

Wei Zhong decisively used the Golden Body Technique and turned around to look at the monster in the water.

I saw a golden carp that was two meters long rushing out from below. Its light golden whiskers were half as long as a Wei Zhong and were shaking in the water.

'This fish doesn't seem hostile.'

In a flash, the golden carp jumped past Wei Zhong, ignoring this strange creature in the water.

"Although this monster has no hostility towards me, the water is very turbulent right now, so it's better to get out."

Wei Zhong swam towards the shore in the direction the golden carp left.

When I floated to the surface of the lake, I saw the fish swimming happily. The splashing water made the scales on its body sparkle golden in the sunlight.

But this lake was not very big, and the fish and monsters swam very fast, so they swam all over the lake in a short while, and then they noticed Wei Zhong standing nearby.

It swam around Wei Zhong twice, with a hint of curiosity in its eyes, and tickled Wei Zhong with its whiskers.

Wei Zhong slapped the fish's whiskers off in annoyance.

'Is this fish a little silly?'

A first-order spirit fish, judging from its power, seems to be at the pinnacle of the first order, and it only needs one opportunity to transform into the second order.

"Second level demon pill?"

There was a malicious smile in Wei Zhong's eyes.

But the spirit fish didn't seem to notice the danger. It surrounded Wei Zhong and carefully examined this special creature that it had never seen before.

"You are indeed a fool."

Wei Zhong immediately had the idea of taking it as his spiritual pet.

Whether waiting for him to advance to a higher level to obtain the elixir in the future, or using him as one's assistant, it is a very good choice.

Cutting his fingertips and bleeding, Wei Zhong began to draw spiritual patterns in the air.

[Beast Driving Technique·Proficient (69%)]

The proficiency of this spell was not very high. Wei Zhong only had a spirit beast, a nine-colored parrot, on him, so he did not pay much attention to this spell.

Soon, the spiritual pattern was completed and floated in the air.

Wei Zhong flicked his index finger:
"go with!"

The latter immediately fell into the body of the spirit fish and disappeared.

The beast-driving technique did not encounter any resistance from it and was easily completed.

Wei Zhong sensed some connection between himself and the spirit fish.

"What a fool."

Wei Zhong patted the fish head, and now he had two silly spirit beasts in his hands.

"I'll just call you 'Da Jin'!"
