Chapter 357 The Passive Skill Showcasing its Might
The Xia Clan was the largest clan in the vicinity of the Celestial Lake.
More than a dozen clansmen had joined the Jade Sword Holy Land.
At the same time, there was also an Artifact Refiner in the clan who could refine Spiritual Qi-grade battleships.
With the power of the Jade Sword Holy Land and more than a dozen battleships, the Xia Clan could be considered a tyrant in the Celestial Lake.
Not long ago, they had even forcefully divided an area for the exclusive use of the Xia Clan.
The rest of the cultivators were not allowed to enter this area to fish.
This naturally caused the other forces to be dissatisfied.
This Celestial Lake did not belong to the Xia Clan. How could the Xia Clan be able to divide an area that was exclusive to them?
Everyone worked for the Jade Sword Holy Land, and everyone paid taxes.
Thus, these forces began to besiege the Xia Clan.
The Xia Clan, on the other hand, was very powerful, so they did not lower their heads in the face of the siege.
Still, the Xia Clan wanted to ease the pressure on their clan.
Coincidentally, there was a woman in the Xia Clan who had outstanding talent and possessed the legendary Spiritwater Constitution.
The idea of a marriage alliance instantly popped up.
In fact, this was also a common method used by the major forces. They relied on marriage alliances as a way to connect and win over allies.
Or they could find outstanding vagabond cultivators.
Why did they add the phrase “Find outstanding vagabond cultivators” at the end?
Naturally, this was because the daughter of the Xia Clan was a cultivator with unlimited potential.
Naturally, it was impossible for her to marry into another clan, and the Xia Clan absolutely wouldn’t allow their own geniuses to leave.
Undoubtedly, the so-called marriage was actually for other people to marry into the Xia Clan. In the end, the daughter of the Xia Clan would be the one to choose the person to marry into the clan.
The final child could only have the surname of the mother, Xia.
Although this condition was harsh, countless cultivators still wanted to marry into the clan.
As compensation for marrying into the clan, the Xia Clan would provide their son-in-law with all the cultivation resources before the Dragon Transformation realm.
Moreover, they could also choose a dao art from the Xia Clan’s treasury.
Just this condition alone had attracted countless cultivators.
Not to mention that the daughter of the Xia Clan was not bad-looking, enough to be called a fairy.
The Spiritwater Constitution was also an excellent constitution for dual cultivation.
Dual cultivating with the Spiritwater Constitution could purify the Spiritual Qi and remove the impurities in the body.
With so many benefits, naturally, many cultivators would move upon hearing the
news.
The alliance that deliberately targeted the Xia Clan previously was also suspended because of this matter.
“I heard that if you want to become the son-in-law of the Xia Clan, you have to pass three tests in a row!”
“The first test is to catch a Celestial Spiritmirror Fish!”
“What? A Celestial Spiritmirror Fish?”
“That’s right! This kind of spirit fish is in the Celestial Lake, but it’s very rare. You can only rely on luck to catch it.”
Several cultivators sighed and walked toward Zhou Feng’s direction.
Not long ago, the Xia Clan had announced the first condition for the Xia Clan’s noble daughter to choose a son-in-law.
And that was to offer up a Celestial Spiritmirror Fish.
The Celestial Spiritmirror Fish was a type of spirit fish found in the Celestial Lake.
It wasn’t very strong, with the strongest being around the Purple Mansion realm.
However, this type of spirit fish was very good at hiding. As long as one was in the water, it was almost impossible to find its tracks.
It didn’t even have a fixed residence, and if one wanted to catch it, it would depend on luck.
Moreover, sometimes, even if one encountered it, it was possible to miss it.
The Celestial Spiritmirror Fish could fly in the air when necessary.
It was as if it was in the water.
In a critical moment, the scales on its body could act like a mirror, reflecting a dazzling light.
That kind of light couldn’t be seen directly with the naked eye. It could even block the perception of the soul.
“Right! What does this Celestial Spiritmirror Fish look like? Have you seen it?”
“I’ve seen it before because Fairy Xia has one.”
“It looks like a carp, and its whole body is like white jade…”
“Are its eyes like a woman’s, as clear as autumn water?”
“Eh? How do you know? Didn’t you just
say…”
Zhao Qianxing was completely stunned because the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish they were talking about just now was right in front of his eyes!
One person had just caught it with a wooden
rod.
‘I really caught something?’
Zhou Feng was a little stunned as he looked at the fish floating in the air in front of him. It was as light as a fairy.
After the five-person group’s departure, Zhou Feng couldn’t help but feel excited about fishing.
Even though the fishing rod in his hand was a little crude-it was a wooden rod that didn’t even have a hook, just a string with some leftover herbs at its end-Zhou Feng had the passive Fisherman. The passive skill simply and roughly increased the hook rate by 50%.
In other words, no matter what, he only needed to use the rod twice.
He would definitely have a fish one time. Under such circumstances, the fishing rod being a little crude shouldn’t matter.
Thus, Zhou Feng threw the ‘bait’.
After waiting for a long time, he finally hooked a fish.
However, he didn’t know that the fish in front of him was the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish.
‘It can actually float in the air?’
Zhou Feng’s eyes betrayed his astonishment.
There seemed to be a trace of doubt on his face, and he also seemed to be a little confused.
Although he was a little surprised, he thought that this fish should be very valuable!
The Spiritual Qi its body emitted was very pure, and just its ability meant that it could fetch a good price.
It was a good start!
What Zhou Feng didn’t know was that the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish was even more confused than him.
Those humans had gone crazy during this period, looking for it everywhere.
There was no safe place in the central area, so the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish quietly left and came to the shore to look for food.
But just now, for some unknown reason, it bit something
The thing was… what it bit was not in the diet of a Celestial Spiritmirror Fish.
The Celestial Spiritmirror Fish only like eating aquatic plants in the lake that were full of Spiritual Qi,
But just now, it had bitten on an unknown thing, and it was pulled out of the water by someone.
It was not until it saw Zhou Feng that the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish realized that it had been tricked.
It had been fished up by a human?
This was a great humiliation!
As a spirit fish with extremely high intelligence, it was basically impossible to be fished up with bait.
Originally, the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish wanted to use its innate ability and escape, but its instincts screamed not to do that. The human in front of it was very dangerous.
Once it did, it would definitely not be able to escape.
That faintly discernible and terrifying aura made the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish tremble.
‘This fish… is dumb? Why isn’t it trying to escape?’
Zhou Feng stretched out his hand to touch the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish, and a trace of doubt appeared on his face.
It was said that all spirit fish were very intelligent. They would run the moment they met a person, and they were slippery and difficult to catch.
Why was this a little different from the legends?
“Celestial… Spiritmirror Fish?”
“Are you for real!? How could the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish be in a place like this?”
“And why doesn’t it try to escape!?”
Zhao Qianxing was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.
‘Who on earth is this? Why was he able to catch the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish? And why isn’t the Celestial Spiritmirror Fish trying to escape!?’
