Chapter 524: Chapter 64: Spiritual Fish Transforms in Extreme Night Sea, Blockade and Co-optation! (10,000-Word Da Zhang)_6

"But he didn’t go to Shisan’s place either," Ji Dan felt slightly relieved.

....

Ji Chen didn’t care either, just the fact that he only had his subordinate send a message, instead of contacting personally.

It was clear enough that his sincerity was aimed at ’Liu Tianning,’ not Zhao Xing.

Whether Zhao Xing came or not didn’t really matter, he just wanted to see if he could connect with Liu Tianning and earn some favor.

As for Ji Ye, he simply pretended he hadn’t seen him.

The Qian Shougang who Zhao Xing had killed was his direct subordinate.

Either way, he couldn’t be recruited again.

If he couldn’t win him over, he simply ignored him.

.....

"Hahaha, I had long heard that you all are talents from Ten Suns Cave Heaven, seeing you today, indeed you are extraordinary," Pei Yuanchang was very gracious, inviting Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, and others onto his houseboat after they arrived.

"Marquis Yuan Chang flatters us," Zhao Xing bowed, referring to the man’s title of nobility. "Thank you, Marquis Yuan Chang, for allowing us passage."

"It’s nothing, gentlemen—if you wouldn’t mind, just call me Mr. Pei," Pei Yuanchang said. "After all, I am only fifty-three, not much older than you."

"Mr. Pei."

"Hahaha, good," Pei Yuanchang was pleased, "You just arrived; let me inform you about the situation."

Pei Yuanchang pointed at the Cloud Disk Map: "Currently, in the Extreme Night Sea, around Night Castle number ninety-eight, many strange phenomena have occurred."

"Among them, the most mystical are the Spiritual Fish!"

Xia Jing: "..."

Noticing Xia Jing’s odd reaction, Pei Yuanchang couldn’t help but stop: "Lin Yun, is there a problem?"

"Mr. Pei, forgive me, my Inner Cultivation of Gluttonous Food has side effects,"

"I see... okay, I’ll continue what I was saying," Pei Yuanchang said, "Night Castle ninety-eight, originally the surrounding sea area, was a layer of ice."

"This place’s climate remains in Great Cold all year round, with thick ice layers."

"Look now, it’s slowly thawing, and fish are leaping out of the sea surface."

"Eating those fish brings various benefits!"

"We have verified effects including elemental, legal, longevity, purified elements, water movement luck, and more!"

After Pei Yuanchang finished speaking, he observed their reactions.

The five of them remained unimpressed.

Even Chen Shijie and Long Xiao, who were now quite worldly, were unfazed.

Following Zhao Xing, they had never lacked good things to eat.

Xia Jing should have shown support, but he feared speaking might make him vomit.

Being at sea, he was feeling uneasy again.

It was Zhao Xing who supported the conversation: "Indeed mystical!"

"Hahaha, absolutely," Pei Yuanchang said, "Thousand years worth of ice thaws, releasing elemental energies that were sealed under the sea for years, where heaven and earth converge, creating these mystical fish."

"Mr. Pei, these fish must not be easy to capture?" asked Zhao Xing.

He hadn’t seen many men at work when he arrived.

"Yes," Pei Yuanchang nodded, "it is difficult to capture them."

"Gentlemen, look, this is a ’Warm Spectrum Bottle’ just brought up from the water outside."

Pei Yuanchang held a transparent bottle with two layers inside of it.

At that moment, only the bottom layer had pale blue light moving within it.

The top layer had no light at all.

"Inside the Warm Spectrum bottle, a dot of blue light means freezing outside,"

"The colder it is, the more blue light there is,"

"At this moment, there are one hundred thirty-nine dots, enough to freeze a seventh-rank, this is the data from ten meters below the surface."

"If we continue further down, even a sixth-rank would be frostbitten,"

"Ordinary frost-resistant items are useless," Pei Yuanchang said. "Currently, the record is held by a fifth-rank, who could only dive to five hundred meters."

"So, the seven major exploration teams are just chipping ice and waiting for the fish to jump up themselves,"

Xia Jing couldn’t help but frown, even a fifth-rank could only dive to five hundred meters, it was indeed cold enough.

He wasn’t sure if he could withstand it.

Zhao Xing was grateful that there was still time to prepare.

If they could start diving on a large scale now, he likely wouldn’t get many benefits.

After a pause, Pei Yuanchang continued, "All parties are urgently preparing cold-resistant items. Under my command, there are two Icebreaking Ships, and another one is on its way."

"You don’t need to go underwater personally with this ship. It uses sharp weapons to shoot and capture the Spiritual Fish,"

"If you gentlemen don’t mind, you are welcome to join me in the exploration and development,"

By making this suggestion, Pei Yuanchang wanted to earn Liu Tianning’s favor.

If that big shot came over, flattering his disciple would naturally leave a good impression.

In doing so, he was essentially giving Zhao Xing and others a share of Spiritual Showcare without them asking for it.

He expected Zhao Xing to agree, since the five of them had come on just one Qilin Flying Boat.

Without Divine Weapons, just relying on their strengths, how could they dive into the sea for fish?

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xing refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Pei, your willingness to lend us the way, and sharing a region for us to explore, is already a great favor, we truly cannot trouble you further,"

No matter what, Zhao Xing wouldn’t accept Pei Yuanchang’s kindness, and eventually, Pei Yuanchang had no choice but to give up.

He then sent them off with several frost-resistant Vestment robes and watched as they departed.

"My lord, these people really don’t appreciate kindness," a subordinate said. "My lord is willing to share Spiritual Beauty out of goodwill, and they don’t even accept it."

"A disciple of Liu Tianning, wouldn’t be a fool, would he?" Pei Yuanchang watched the departing silhouette of the Qilin Flying Boat, "Send someone to keep an eye on them; their area is near mine. If they really have any techniques, just observing might reveal some tricks."

"Yes," the subordinate immediately complied.

Pei Yuanchang guessed right, Zhao Xing indeed had a plan.

Knowing they were coming to the Extreme Night Sea, how could he not be prepared?

At that moment, he was rummaging through the cabin of the Qilin Flying Boat.

Before long, he hauled out two boxes.

"Old Chen, time to work!"
