Chapter 569: Chapter 589: The Effects of the Strange Fish_1

The strange fish was about a meter long, with a soft and flexible body, somewhat resembling a hairtail, but it was obviously not a hairtail.

How could a sea fish live in freshwater?

The strange fish had a mouthful of interlocking sharp teeth, but its mouth wasn’t big. Otherwise, Little Guy’s wound wouldn’t be so small.

There were various injuries on the strange fish, obviously caused by Little Guy’s claws or teeth.

Little Guy pushed the fish towards Lin Chen, apparently giving it as a thank you gift.

Zhou Yin laughed, "It’s giving you a fish as a gift, what do you want to do with it?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Let’s try it then. Just eating the fish meat should be fine."

Zhou Yin looked forward to it and said, "Alright, let’s cook a little and see how it tastes. I’ll go get some cooking utensils."

Soon, Zhou Yin brought back a portable outdoor stove, cookware, and condiments, and the two began cooking in the cave.

Lin Chen selected some fish meat to cook, lightly frying both sides until golden brown, sprinkling some seasoning salt, and they were ready to eat.

Zhou Yin took a bite, and her eyes suddenly widened, "So tender, so fragrant, so delicious!"

Lin Chen also tasted it, and it was indeed incredibly delicious, with an indescribable sense of pleasure.

As they ate the fish, they soon felt waves of warmth rising from their stomachs.

This feeling was familiar, similar to the reaction after eating the Dragon-patterned fish sashimi on Kunlun Mountain, just not as strong.

"It seems like this fish is indeed something special, similar to the effect of that Dragon-patterned fish from Yaochi. Let’s cultivate while we eat!"

Zhou Yin was inexplicably excited, "This could be considered a rare encounter, right?"

Lin Chen laughed, "You could say that. In the spiritually scarce human world, it’s not easy to come across something like this."

Zhou Yin curiously asked, "Why can’t others find a place like this, especially since I can find it?"

Lin Chen had already thought about this issue and replied, "The Unknown Land is rich in spiritual energy, and those cultivators don’t need to come to the human world to find a place to cultivate. They practice the human methods, not the true cultivation methods, so they can’t feel the spiritual energy and don’t need to find such a place to cultivate..."

"Even if there are special existences like us, searching for places with spiritual energy, the spiritual energy consumed will slowly accumulate back after five or ten years. In other words, as long as there are no cultivators here to consume the spiritual energy within five or ten years, we’ll find the same result."

Zhou Yin suddenly realized, and her spirits lifted, "Since the spiritual energy will recover, can’t I just look for more places with spiritual energy and rotate my cultivation to increase my strength rapidly, and maybe even breakthrough to the Innate realm and beyond?"

Lin Chen laughed, "In theory, yes. But bottlenecks are individual. Isn’t Director Li stuck at the Inner Qi Realm Peak due to his talent? While you have advanced to Great Grandmaster level, as long as your talent is sufficient, what you said can be done."

Zhou Yin’s expression was excited. If she had the talent to breakthrough, she would surely reach beyond the Innate realm and eventually enter the Unknown Land!

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Yin’s excitement and encouraged, "The cultivation method you practice must not be bad, otherwise you wouldn’t have advanced so quickly. Work hard, and if one day you break through the Innate realm, the entrance to the Unknown Land will become visible to you and you’ll be qualified to enter."

Zhou Yin nodded, "I’ll come to find you then!"

Lin Chen laughed, "I don’t know where I’ll be in the future. If you really need to find me and can’t, you can go to Cangshan Cave Heaven to look for Gu Yuexi, or go to the Penglai Divine Mountain overseas to look for Chu Jiaxue."

Zhou Yin silently took note of it.

If Chu Jiaxue was his wife, then who was this Gu Yuexi?

His confidante?

Zhou Yin didn’t ask.

Lin Chen shared these with her, obviously not treating her like an outsider. She was already very happy.

"We should hurry up and cultivate. This good thing shouldn’t be wasted."

Over the next few days, Lin Chen and Zhou Yin both cultivated while eating the fried fish, and aside from the fish steak, all other parts were given to Little Guy.

First, they didn’t know if eating the other parts would cause any problems, and secondly, this was Little Guy’s spoils of war, so it would be too much for them to monopolize it all.

Little Guy wasn’t picky, and besides the parts Lin Chen had cut, it ate everything else completely.

After eating, Little Guy curled up and slept beside Lin Chen, and once asleep, it slept for a long time. If it wasn’t for its steady breathing, Lin Chen would have thought something happened to it.

On second thought, perhaps this was another way for it to digest and absorb the spiritual energy in the fish meat.

When the alarm clock rang, Lin Chen opened his eyes from his seated meditation.

It’s already the 8th.

The 10th is the day of the match between Feng Yue and Feng Hang; it’s time to go back!

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the still-sleeping Little Guy, hesitating whether to take it with him or not.
