Zhong Lingge made sure that the bottom was safe, walked to the edge of the gap, knocked on it, widened the gap and squatted next to it. He turned around with a look of surprise on his face and urged his friends to come and share the joy.
Seeing how excited she was, Lan Siyue and Hu Jiufei quickened their pace and galloped away. Yu Jiao followed closely behind, her big round eyes full of curiosity.
The four of them squatted beside the gap and looked down, and they all had the same expression.
The round eyes and wide mouth shocked even Lan Siyue, who rarely showed expressions.
Zhong Lingge rubbed his hands and looked at the scene below that he had never seen with his own eyes and had only read about in jade slips, and asked, "Can you feed this fish if you catch it?"
"It's possible, but I don't know if I can catch it. Storage bags can't hold living things, so how should we take them back?" Hu Jiufei said as he rummaged around in the storage bag, trying to find a suitable one. container holds.
Yu Jiao looked at it for a long time, and finally recovered from her surprise and shouted: "Echo fish! There really is an ectoplasmic fish! I thought this was made up by predecessors!"
Miscellaneous Wen Jade Slips record many creatures, including monsters and spirits, most of which are extinct, and the ectoplasm fish is one of them.
It is said that the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins in the Tai Chi period is not gaseous spiritual energy, but concentrated liquid spiritual energy. Just like the Dantian in the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage, once the spiritual energy turns into liquid, the quality and quantity will increase dozens or hundreds of times.
At that time, the thinnest small spiritual veins were also in a state of spiritual fluid, which shows that the ecology of the entire Immortal Cultivation Domain was good.
In the liquid spiritual veins, a kind of almost transparent small fish is derived. They are not aggressive and are neither monsters nor spiritual bodies. Because they have entities and vitality, they can turn into spiritual liquid and completely integrate into the spirit. In the pulse, it is impossible to define and difficult to capture.
The spiritual energy contained in this small fish is equivalent to a top-quality spiritual stone. There are about a thousand small fish in the group below, which is equivalent to nearly a thousand top-quality spiritual stones.
There are only two mineral veins in the lower domain that can produce top-quality spiritual stones. One is in the hands of a family in the middle, and the other was once under the jurisdiction of the Jiuxiao Sword Sect. Now that Jiuxiao is weak, the long-term mining rights of this mineral vein are still being fought for.
"Ling Ge, can your Demon Suppressing Tower be preserved?" Lan Siyue had an idea, "The Nine Tails is a living creature and can live in the tower. Maybe the ectoplasm fish can also be used."
"Why don't you try catching one?"
Zhong Lingge is not sure. According to common sense, the second-level magic weapon has no effect of storing living creatures. However, the Demon Suppressing Tower is the second-level magic weapon in the treasure pavilion of the Jidao Sect. It is unusual in terms of material and power. It is not completely hopeless. .
"It's just a risk. If it doesn't work, it will be a waste of a small fish, and it will be cheaper for Nine Tails."
Lan Siyue and Hu Jiufei didn't care much. No matter how good the spoils were, the friendship between them was nothing more than the friendship between them. They didn't care at all who got more and who got less.
Yu Jiao didn't even think about dividing the spoils. She just wanted to see the little fish up close and waited for their decision with a look of anticipation.
After deciding to use the Demon Suppressing Tower to try it first, Zhong Lingge sacrificed the magical weapon and called Nine Tails to move out.
When Kyuubi saw that everyone was squatting, he also squatted with everyone, putting his short front paws on his chest, and his upturned peach eyes were full of innocence.
Zhong Lingge slowly lowered the tower into the gap and sank to the surface of the spiritual liquid. A stream of pure spiritual energy penetrated the tower body and spread to her meridians, lungs, bones and blood. It was so comfortable that she wanted to meditate on the spot.
She had suffered the loss of the soul power of the Black Sea Secret Realm, so she did not dare to be greedy for more, so she blocked the absorption of meridians.
"That's it!"
Zhong Lingge saw a small fish alone with sharp eyes, and with a thought, he controlled the Demon Suppression Tower to catch the slow and lagging little fish.
Wow!
Unexpectedly, the little fish was not slow at all. She didn't even see the movement clearly, and the little figure disappeared.
"Oh, I can run faster than I can when I can't beat others!"
"puff--"
Hu Jiufei laughed out loud. This metaphor was indeed very spiritual.
"It means you're not slippery enough. If you can't beat me next time, just slide faster and leave the difficulty to us."
"Ha, you did this voluntarily!"
Zhong Lingge was amused by her, and her depressed mood was swept away, and she continued her efforts to choose a new goal.
The spirit fluid fish is only as long as the little finger, very thin, and has a similar color to the spirit fluid in the spiritual veins, so it is easy to miss it if you are not careful. The targets she finally selected were all integrated into the spiritual liquid the moment they were captured, disappearing without a trace, making them completely impossible to catch.
Tried six times, all failed.
"They are so sharp that they will melt into the slightest fluctuation and cannot catch it at all." Zhong Lingge has never caught such a difficult fish. No matter how sharp the monster fish is outside, he will always succeed if he uses gentle movements. It seems that It is really hard to catch anything that is not fish.
The four of them thought of several ways, including fishing out the spiritual liquid and taking out the breathless net used to capture the monster fish, but all were ineffective.
"Zhiji!" Jiuwei put his head into the circle surrounded by four people, and poked Zhong Lingge with his pointed mouth, conveying his simple thoughts.
"You want to try? I'm afraid you'll explode." Zhong Lingge didn't dare to agree. Jiuwei said in a squeaky voice that it would not absorb the spiritual liquid, but she was still a little hesitant. "But you also have spiritual energy fluctuations. If you get close, the fish will run away."
Kyuubi urgently conveyed the new meaning, and because his intelligence had not fully recovered, he was out of breath.
Zhong Lingge still understood its plan.
"Can you seal your own spiritual energy? Or can you not actively absorb the spiritual liquid?"
"Haw!"
Jiuwei raised his face proudly, and deliberately rolled his dark eyes to glance at Lan Siyue, the most powerful of the four. His expression seemed to say, "Look, I'm better than you."
"Why are you comparing yourself to Si Yue?" Zhong Lingge connected with it mentally and sensed Xiao Jiujiu inside it, which was quite funny. "Si Yue has Si Yue's strengths, and you have your shortcomings. Okay, let's go."
Kyuubi happily wagged its tail and jumped down before finally realizing that its owner was not praising it.
The moment the fox's body was submerged in the spiritual fluid, the Nine Tails disappeared.
First, its body, then the nine big plush and glowing tails, and even the aura on its body were gone. Only Zhong Lingge could sense it through his mind.
"This is something new!" Zhong Lingge knew through its mind that this was a new skill that it suddenly realized after just devouring several golden spider puppet materials.
The four of them were lying on the edge of the gap together, unable to see anything, but they still stared at it seriously.
Sudden!
A group of nearly a hundred fish were sucked away by a suction force, and there was no chance of disappearing and integrating into the spiritual liquid. Everyone saw the nine tails slowly appearing, jumping up from the spiritual liquid, with the translucent body containing the A school of small fish.
"Successful!" Zhong Lingge called it back to the tower and released one to see if it could be saved. To his surprise, the Demon Suppression Tower could indeed place living creatures.
Jiuwei put the fish in a place and then jumped to Zhong Lingge's feet, wagging his tail and rubbing against her body.
