Chapter 310: Chapter 214 Fishing Rod_2

This extraordinary person originally intended to gather strength and assist the supporters in slaying the rotten blood man. However, the supporters turned out to be unexpectedly powerful, killing the monster in less than fifteen seconds. He hadn’t even finished his dance, and the crisis was already resolved.

On the back of the male fire dragon, Ye Wushuang was equally surprised. This nominal successor was quite strong.

The spiritual corpse was equivalent to the Divinity Transformation Realm, while Zhou Yuan was one major realm lower, yet still managed to easily slay it...

But it made sense, given that someone connected to Ye Youxian through karmic ties and who had managed to cultivate the Primordial Yin-Yang Body in such a short time couldn’t be an average person.

As the male fire dragon slowly descended, Zhou Yuan jumped down and approached the rotten blood man’s corpse. He casually picked up a wooden stick and began to poke around its chest, causing maggots to wriggle out and scatter away.

"Ew, even Old Eight would lose his appetite seeing this."

A moment later, Zhou Yuan fished out an ancient token from the heap of rotting flesh, which had some patterns and text engraved on it.

[Name: Cave Token]

[Note: The key to unlock a private cave.]

"Oh, a Cave Token? Let me see it," Ye Wushuang said.

"Wait a moment." Zhou Yuan cleansed the token with dark matter to remove the filth on it and then tossed it to Ye Wushuang. She caught the token and examined it for a moment, frowning slightly.

"This is... Elder Qingtian of the Questioning Tao Sect..." Ye Wushuang recognized the token’s original owner and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

This was someone she knew from the past, a highly learned sage who had guided her on her path to cultivation and cleared away her confusion. He was a most respectable senior.

"Zhou... Zhou Yuan?"

At this moment, the civilian extraordinary team approached and immediately recognized Zhou Yuan, feeling a wave of relief wash over them.

It was a big shot!

"What’s your situation? How did you end up provoking this thing?" Zhou Yuan asked.

The team leader explained, "We initially went into the mountain to explore and gather some natural treasures. Barely after we entered, a massive energy wave erupted in the distance. Several teams, including ours, rushed to the scene and found there an ancient cultivator’s cave.

Everyone planned to team up and explore the cave, but the cave door suddenly opened, and this monster charged out. We all attacked it for a while, but our efforts were in vain. Knowing we were not its match, we decided to run for it.

Who knew the monster would chase after us..."

Everyone had a bitter and frustrated expression. Among all the extraordinary teams present, the monster chose to chase them, which was truly unlucky.

"Brother Zhou, this is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it." Someone smiled as they handed over several gold bars. Had Zhou Yuan not come to their aid, their lives would have been forfeit, so their gratitude must be expressed appropriately.

Zhou Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the gold bars. "Are you planning to head back?"

Of course, the team leader was no fool. Seeing that the token Zhou Yuan had fished out from the corpse was most likely the key to opening the cultivator’s cave, he smiled apologetically and said, "That depends on what you two think."

"Let’s go together," Ye Wushuang said, looking at Zhou Yuan. "There are many rare treasures in Elder Qingtian’s cave that would be beneficial for you. However, there are too many items for you to handle alone, so share some fortune with them; it’s their luck."

"Alright." Zhou Yuan understood the principle of not being able to chew too much, then stroked his chin and said, "But Elder Qingtian seems to be an old acquaintance of yours? Aren’t you worried about taking outsiders to loot his cave?"

Ye Wushuang shook her head. "Elder Qingtian was a great sage and wouldn’t mind such things. Besides, many cultivators intentionally leave some legacy in their caves for future generations. Fortune favors the fated."

"I see." Zhou Yuan nodded slightly, marveling at the generosity and righteousness of the ancient sage.

"Thank you both very much," everyone expressed their gratitude excitedly, with some shock in their hearts. Who exactly was this girl?

By all appearances, she seemed to be an ancient cultivator, and a living one at that.

My goodness, Zhou Yuan truly had the look of a charmer. Barely here for a short while, and he’d already hooked up with an ancient cultivator, and a super pretty maiden no less... It truly provoked envy. High looks indeed had their advantages.

"Do you have any transportation?" Ye Wushuang asked.

"No, we can’t afford anything like that..."

"Use this." Zhou Yuan brought out the female fire dragon. Although its flying speed was far inferior to the male fire dragon, it was still a flying creature.

After completely erasing the rotten blood man’s body, they quickly made their way towards the cave.

Communications within the Cave Heaven Blessed Land were gradually stabilizing. During their journey, Zhou Yuan took the opportunity to check the latest news and found that the entire Cave Heaven Blessed Land was bustling with activity, with things happening everywhere.

Fish demons harming people, the Red and White Twins, the Blood Demon emerging... The entire Cave Heaven Blessed Land was as chaotic as the last days of an ancient dynasty, with endless calamities and misfortunes, frequent abnormal incidents, local aboriginals causing trouble, and extraordinary persons from outside wreaking havoc.

It could truly be described as a demonic dance of chaos.

At this moment, a video call came in; it was Chen Guangxi.

"Zhou Yuan, look at this!"

In the camera, Chen Guangxi held a fishing rod, beaming with the joy of a successful angler, as if she’d just caught Kyogre, exuding a sense of harvest delight.

"A fishing rod?"

"No, no, no, this isn’t an ordinary fishing rod. This is the Immortal Emperor’s fishing rod, which he used to fish in the River of Time, casting for all of eternity! It’s used to fish in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!"

Chen Guangxi excitedly said, "You can throw it into any body of water, and no matter if it’s just a clear pool, you can fish anything out of it besides fish!"

"...Wouldn’t that just be an empty rod?" Zhou Yuan was speechless. Any serious angler would despise a fishing rod that doesn’t catch fish; what’s the point of it?

"Come on, it can—fish—anything up." Chen Guangxi stressed word by word, "This thing is a rule-based item!"

"Just now, I fished up a bottle of Ancient Dragon True Blood. Combined with the spiritual energy rain I consumed before, I can ascend to the next rank in less than three days!

Hehehe, Sister Long is about to reach Rank 6! Woohoo! Time to soar!"

"Hey, isn’t that my old fishing rod? How did I never know it had this function?" Ye Wushuang came over, recognizing the rod in Chen Guangxi’s hand as the one she used for fishing in the past.

It seemed to have been transformed into a powerful abnormal item by some extraordinary power.

Seeing a pretty girl appear on the screen, Chen Guangxi’s expression froze: "Who are you?"

"Ye Wushuang."

"Who?" Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the other end, and a small child with delicate features burst into the frame.

It was Ye Youxian!

"Wushuang..." Ye Youxian was stunned.

"..." Ye Wushuang was also in a daze. She never expected to reunite with her father this way after a millennium!

"I... I have some things to take care of here. I’ll hang up first!"

After a long silence, Ye Wushuang reached out and hung up the video call. She was momentarily at a loss, unsure of what to say.

"How did you know that was the hang-up button?" Zhou Yuan was surprised. He had never taught her how to use a phone.

"Because it’s red."

Ye Wushuang exhaled and murmured, "This is so weird..."

Her father appeared younger than her, and even prettier at that.

And, could he really still be considered her father?

As she pondered, they arrived in front of Elder Qingtian’s cave. Several figures were around, attempting to break the cave’s protective barrier with force.

"These guys..." The team leader gritted his teeth. While they were being chased, these people had come back to try and breach the cave to seize the fortune...

But there was nothing much to say. Betrayals among extraordinary persons were too numerous to count. Few extended a helping hand; most adhered to the principle that it was better a friend than a poor Taoist.

"Let’s land." Zhou Yuan directed the two fire dragons to descend.
