Chapter 161 Dead Lake

Facing their eyes, Ye Chen was like a spring breeze, with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I went back yesterday, did you study?" Xuanyi Yaozun said in a harmonious voice as the ice on his face melted away.

"Well, Tuer reviewed what he learned during the day yesterday, and he understood something." Ye Chen nodded.

"Very good." Xuanyi Yaozun nodded with a smile, and said, "Let's go." Glancing at Xuan Yu, Cheng Xian and the others, he said in a deep voice, "Don't kneel down either, get up."

Sylphy Yaozun took Li Xu, Ye Chen and others out of the courtyard.

Lei Yi looked at Ye Chen's back, his eyes were full of gloomyness, he clearly felt that Master's attitude towards Ye Chen was unusual, not like treating an ordinary registered disciple, he glanced coldly at him as he stumbled to his feet Xuan Yu asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"It's Ye Chen's fault!" Xuan Yu said with a pale face and desolately, "Senior Brother Lei, you have to help us. Master's impression of us must be extremely bad!" Originally, no matter how hard he worked, he might be able to be accepted. Master has accepted him as an official disciple, but now, he feels that he is far away from this dream.

"There are so many people who can't even deal with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid. What a waste, don't talk about it, let's talk about it in the dead lake!" Lei Yi said coldly.

Hao Feng and Yan Cheng looked at each other, a kid who just started is so arrogant, if they don't clean up Ye Chen, what face will they have?

More than 30 people left the island in three boats, rode on the black wind horse prepared for them by the guards of the imperial city, and galloped for more than three hours, heading north, and a large barren mountain could be seen in the distance.

After galloping on horseback for more than three hours, they still haven't left the imperial city. The imperial city is really big.

"Brother Ye Chen, where are we going?" Xiao Yi asked puzzled, further on was a barren mountain.

"Master wants to take us fishing, and I don't know where to go fishing." Ye Chen shook his head with a smile and said, Xiao Yi sat behind him, looking around curiously.

Li Xu drove the horse closer and walked side by side with Ye Chen.

"Senior Brother Li. Where is this dead lake? The name sounds weird." Ye Chen looked at Li Xu and asked.

"The location of this dead lake. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was an ocean. Later, it turned into a barren mountain. In that barren mountain, a lake was formed. That lake can be regarded as the creation of heaven and earth. The lake water with a radius of tens of miles is a very corrosive liquid. If it touches human skin,

The skin can be corroded and festered in an instant, but in this lake, some fish grow. Those fish are the spirits of heaven and earth. It can be used to refine many rare medicines. Thousands of years ago, the Yin royal family discovered this place and took control of it. "Li Xu explained with a smile.

"Could it be that the reason why Master is willing to stay in the Xiwu Empire is also because of this dead lake?" Ye Chen immediately thought of something, and asked, Sylphy Yaozun traveled to so many countries, but finally stayed in the Xiwu Empire, presumably because of this reason.

"That's right." Li Xu nodded, glanced at the three of Lei Yi, and said in a low voice, "The incident yesterday was caused by you, right?"

"Well. They wanted to attack me, so I taught them a lesson." Ye Chen said. To Li Xu, there is no need to hide it.

"You did nothing wrong in this matter, but you still have to be more careful in the future. The three of Lei Yi will not let it go." Li Xu warned Ye Chen.

"I understand, but soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, I'm not afraid of them."

Looking at Ye Chen, Li Xu sighed slightly, Ye Chen was young and energetic, he might suffer a disadvantage in the future.

However, Ye Chen knew that it was impossible for Lei Yi and the others to make him suffer.

Saying that, everyone has already entered the barren mountain, passing through the narrow and long path on the barren mountain, they saw some Habayashi Jinjia stationed there from a distance.

Seeing that it was Yaozun Xuanyi, those Yulin golden armors immediately became respectful, and presented fishing gear, bamboo hats, gloves, etc. to Xuanyi Yaozun and others.

"These hats and gloves are made of golden silk, not afraid of the corrosion of the dead lake water. The fishing rods are forged from Yanying black gold, soft and tough, and they are valuable treasures. They were made by the Yin family with great painstaking efforts. It's done." Li Xu introduced, put on a bamboo hat and gloves, and protected his whole body extremely tightly, leaving no gaps except where he could breathe. .

There are so many disciples, everyone gave out a set, Ye Chen and Xiaoyi also wore it, Xiaoyi wore the smallest one, and it fit Xiaoyi very well, it seems that there are five or six-year-old members of the Yin family Children and adults come to fish together.

"Ye Chen, come to my side. This is your first time here. I will teach you how to fish." Sylphy Yaozun looked back at Ye Chen and waved.

"Yes." Ye Chen walked to Sylphy Yaozun.

The group continued to walk forward for more than ten minutes, and a vast lake in the distance appeared in everyone's sight. Surrounded by mountains, the lake water could not flow out at all. It was a dead lake, and the lake water showed a gray tone. They are all rocky beaches, there are no plants growing at all, and the lake is so quiet that there is no way to see that there are fish growing in this lake.

A group of registered disciples found their seats and sat down. They looked at Ye Chen jealously. When they first came here, Lei Yi, Li Xu and others taught them how to fish. Ye Chen was actually taught by Xuan Yi Yaozun. , which made them almost vomit blood with envy.

Xuanyi Yaozun took Ye Chen to find a huge boulder hanging in the air, and sat down on it. Lei Yi, Li Xu, Hao Feng, and Yan Cheng were not far away, and a group of registered disciples sat far away, scattered by the lakeside.

Everyone sat there quietly, no one spoke, fearing to disturb the fish in the lake.

"Fishing is actually the same as alchemy. The fish in this lake are spiritual things that grow in the world. They are quite spiritual. They will not be easily hooked. Calmness and patience are the key, so that the fish cannot feel your breath. If they can't feel your presence, they will relax their vigilance." Sylphy Yaozun pulled the fishhook and smeared some blue medicinal mud on the fishhook, "This medicinal mud is made of special materials and is extremely precious. Such a medicinal mud outside may be sold for dozens of condensing qi pills. When the medicinal mud enters the water, it will completely dissolve in the water after half an hour and be wasted. In addition, there is also a trace of profound energy attached to the medicinal mud. , those fish will be interested in this bait.”

Listening to Xuanyi Yaozun's narration, Ye Chen also became extremely interested in this fishing, and he seemed to realize something in his heart. He had heard a poem called "Lonely boat and hat, fishing for snow in the cold river alone". , which most coincides with the Tao between heaven and earth.

The fish in this lake are very different from ordinary fish, and it is extremely difficult to catch them.

According to Xuanyi Yaozun, there are nearly forty of them, and they can only catch dozens of fish in a day. Don't underestimate these dozens of fish. Any fish caught in this lake can be refined after taking it back. Some of the seven or eighth-rank pills that are cherished very much can even be refined into nine-rank pills.

I don't know how many fish there are in this lake. Ye Chen stretched his spirit towards the lake. As soon as the spirit approached the lake, he felt a strong burning pain. Looking into the lake, the lake water was chaotic and unclear. not inside.

Even the soul cannot enter the lake!

Ye Chen was slightly startled, this lake is really amazing!

Hurrying to take back the soul, Ye Chen glanced at Xuanyi Yaozun, Xuanyi Yaozun looked engrossed, and it could be felt that Xuanyi Yaozun's attention had been fully focused on the float.

Sylphy Yaozun entered a strange state, Ye Chen sat aside, thoughtful, feeling the tranquility between heaven and earth, this is not so much fishing as cultivation. Xuan Qi has made some progress again, which makes Ye Chen quite happy.

After more than 20 minutes of time passed, the float moved for a while, Xuanyi Yaozun raised his eyebrows, and pulled the fishing rod suddenly, a lively red fish was pulled out of the water, Xuanyi Yaozun grabbed it with his right hand, and pulled the fishing rod. The small fish was caught in his hand and put into a closed black bucket made of unknown metal.

Caught one so quickly.

"Congratulations, Master, it's a rainbow fish." Sitting not far away, Li Xu, Lei Yi and others congratulated one after another.

Sylphy Yaozun chuckled, looking very satisfied.

Some information immediately popped up in Ye Chen's mind. Rainbow fish, heaven and earth spirits, and fish meat can be stewed and fried. After eating, ordinary people can prolong their lives, and dying people can also refine their meridians and increase their lifespan. If they are refined into pills The medicine has a stronger effect and can greatly improve the cultivation of profound energy. The one Xuanyi Yaozun caught was about a finger long, and it was probably a small fish that had grown for a year or two. Such a small fish alone could be sold for thousands of Qi Condensation Pills in some large auction houses in the Central Empire. Every two years a fish grows, its size will increase. If it reaches the length of five fingers, it will be a treasure in the world, and a little bit of fish meat will be priceless.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help burning up, what a good thing!

Ari on the side had also heard about rainbow fish, his eyes lit up, and Xiao Yi smacked his mouth, his saliva almost flowed out, thinking in his heart that if these fish were cooked, he wondered if they would taste good .

The fish caught by a group of disciples belong to each of them. Even if Yaozun Xuanyi takes it away, he will exchange it with the equivalent value of medicine.

Although he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the lake, he could see that there were still many fish in the lake.

"The fish in this lake are so precious, why not use a net?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

Yaozun Xuanyi smiled, and said: "Although golden silk can prevent corrosion, it will be broken when bitten by fish in this lake. It can't be used as a net, but can only be used as clothes. The fishing lines on these few fishing rods , the sinews of the underworld snake are used, this thing is very cherished, Emperor Mingwu used the power of the whole country, but only collected more than fifty, even if it is woven into a net, it will not be of much use."

It turns out that the fish in this lake are really hard to catch! (to be continued)
