Chapter 496 Chongming Fish
"What is this!"
Yang Siyue took two steps back in fright, her fingers trembling involuntarily.
Ye Kang frowned, and just then, the system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, for discovering the corpse of the Chongming fish]
【Chongming Fish: An ancient mythical beast, born with good fortune, possessing the bloodline supernatural power "Chongming of Destiny," which has a chance to foresee danger and make appropriate preparations based on the situation】
[The system has detected that this Chongming fish has been dead for 100,000 years. Due to the characteristics of the Fulu species, its body has not decayed and remains as it was in life.]
Ye Kang's eyes lit up.
"It's a Chongming fish! Another one born with good fortune!"
He unconsciously looked at the carp god.
Those born with auspicious fortune are not common; this bloodline is extremely rare.
Dragon-shaped koi, Chongming fish, treasure-hunting rat, treasure-gathering toad...
Each of the Fu Lu fish has its own special ability: the carp god's ability is to bring good fortune and avoid misfortune, while the Chongming fish can foresee danger.
Either way, it's nothing short of miraculous.
Given how powerful the Luofu Holy Sect was back then, it's normal for them to keep a Chongming Fish. The question is, why would such a precious creature die here?
The system detected that it died 100,000 years ago, which coincided with Ye Kang's conjecture.
The Luofu Holy Sect perished 100,000 years ago. For some reason, the entire sect was destroyed, turning into fragments of ruins. Most of the living beings left in the sect also perished, except for the lifeless puppets.
"Carp God, do you want to eat it?"
Ye Kang looked at the Carp God, whose mouth was already full of saliva and whose eyes were shining with instinctive longing.
As both are born with good fortune, it's understandable that the Carp Goddess wants to devour the corpse of the Chongming Fish; it might even be of great benefit to her.
However, this is, after all, a corpse that has been dead for 100,000 years...
It just doesn't seem right!
However, the Carp God nodded emphatically: "The Carp God thinks it's delicious! The Carp God says it wants to eat it!"
Ye Kang nodded. He didn't believe in anything, but he couldn't help but believe in the Carp God's ability to bring good fortune and ward off evil. Since she said it was delicious, it couldn't do her any harm.
"Go ahead, but be careful not to choke."
With permission granted, the Carp Goddess immediately opened her mouth, ran over, and transformed into her original form in the deep pool. Her dragon head leaped high, and she bit the tail of the Chongming Fish. With a few slurps, she swallowed the entire Chongming Fish whole.
The carp god then fell into a deep sleep, its body floating motionless on the water's surface.
Ye Kang wasn't worried; she had just eaten too much and was having indigestion.
Fortunately, after 100,000 years, the cultivation within the Chongming Fish's body had completely dissipated with time.
It's unimaginable how powerful this guy was in his lifetime. If he were at his peak, even eating a single fish scale would probably make the Carp God sleep for three years.
Such an extraordinary opportunity can only be encountered by those born under the lucky and prosperous families.
Ye Kang was quite envious.
"Senior, is Koi Girl alright...?"
Yang Siyue clenched her fists with some worry.
Ye Kang glanced at her: "She's several times your age, and you still call her 'little sister'?"
"Senior, you are mistaken! How can the age of a demon beast be compared to that of a human!"
"She's quite quick-witted. Don't worry, she's just overeaten. But we'll have to wait a while; she probably won't wake up anytime soon."
Ye Kang could see that the Carp Goddess's aura was increasing across the board, which meant that she was digesting the Chongming Fish.
Perhaps when she opens her eyes, her strength will have changed drastically.
Ye Kang wasn't in a hurry and continued to look at the deep pool.
"There are quite a lot of fish here; they must have all swum over from the wetlands."
Yang Siyue also said, "Senior, those little fish look exactly like the fish in the Spirit Water Stream, they must have swum out from here!"
Ye Kang did not refute, but jumped into the pool, stepped on the water, and easily walked towards the opposite stone wall.
When he reached the end, a thought struck him, and he sank straight down.
The pine soot cloud ink exerted its power, and the water-repelling formation ensured that Ye Kang would not get wet at all, even though he was in the water.
Sure enough, a bronze door appeared on the stone wall deep in the pool.
Ye Kang is very familiar with this.
Back then, in the Poyang Lake, after passing through the underground currents, we encountered this kind of bronze door.
Open the bronze door to enter the Yin Saint Demon Lord's Secret Realm.
Now, the same bronze door has reappeared, but in a completely different secret realm.
At this point, Ye Kang was certain that Yin Sheng Mo Jun and Luo Fu Sheng Zong had an intricate connection.
Even all the secret realms I've visited so far might be connected in some way.
Ye Kang reached out and touched the bronze door, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push it open.
The physical strength they were so proud of was utterly useless before this door.
No wonder the Yang family member who mistakenly entered this place couldn't get out.
With his meager strength, how could he possibly open this door?
Ultimately, they could only die silently in endless loneliness.
Even in his last moments, he chose to crawl into the waterway, at least to die closer to home.
Ye Kang sighed and floated up again.
The bronze door was not a problem for him.
Because in his system space, there is still one last master key.
It can open all the doors in the world.
"System, could you give me a few more keys?" Ye Kang asked silently in his mind.
【Ding】
[Host has been detected requesting something from the system; system shop function triggered]
Currently, three new items have been added to the store. More categories will be gradually added as the host's strength increases.
【Item 1: Universal Key, Price: 1000000 Comprehension Points】
【Item 2: Shrinking Earth Talisman, Price: 1000000 Comprehension Points】
【Item 3: Bluff Talisman, Price: 1000000 Comprehension Points】
"what!"
Ye Kang was dumbfounded. He had just casually made a comment, how did it trigger a shopping mall system?
Besides, why are all these things so expensive?
A million Enlightenment Points for a single item! Why don't you just rob someone?! Who would spend so many Enlightenment Points to exchange for a consumable item?!
And what exactly is this "bluffing" talisman?
【Ding】
[Bluster Talisman: Can simulate a cultivation level one major realm higher than the opponent, with uncanny accuracy. Except for the difference in strength, it can perfectly imitate everything else and can be maintained for half an hour.]
Ye Kang was speechless; it turned out to be just a fraudulent talisman.
Wouldn't it be better to use this spare money to directly improve your martial arts skills?
Isn't this a complete scam?
Ye Kang shook his head and closed the system panel.
"Senior! What have you discovered!"
Yang Siyue shouted loudly.
Ye Kang said calmly, "There's a door down there. Open it and you can get out."
"Then can you open it?"
"Let's talk about it later. Let's go out first and wait for the carp god to wake up."
Ye Kang did not answer directly, but instead took out dozens of precious plants suitable for demons from the ancient black jade treasure and threw them all into the deep pool.
A group of small fish immediately swarmed up, trying to snatch the treasure.
But they were all scared away by the carp god's snort.
"It seems that these small fish have all been affected by the scent of the Chongming fish, which has affected the quality of their flesh. No wonder the carp tastes the same to everyone."
Ye Kang smiled knowingly, turned around and walked out of the waterway.
