Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 733 230 East Travel Reservoir, Travel Incident_2

Wang Mu had only used action points to trigger the Travel event at the East Travel Reservoir.

The reason was the Immortal Cloud Kun.

The East Travel Reservoir was a relatively famous fishing spot in Qianzhou.

This reservoir, leased by several of Qianzhou's major sects, connected to the most unique Ancient Mysterious Spring of the Nine Provinces.

The Ancient Mysterious Spring was one of the most unique aquatic mystic realms formed in the Nine Provinces after the great changes of heaven and earth.

It was said that even Ascended beings might not find it, because the location of the Ancient Mysterious Spring changed with the eras, sometimes hidden deep within the earth of the Nine Provinces, sometimes concealed in the vast emptiness of the sky—its precise location could not be sensed.

However, there was one flaw in the Ancient Mysterious Spring, and the spring water that leaked out formed what was now the East Travel Reservoir.

In the reservoir, there were countless Spirit Fish.

Of course, this claim of 'countless' Spirit Fish was merely the assertion of the three major sects that leased the reservoir.

As for what one could actually catch, that depended entirely on one's own abilities.

The Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect, Heavenly Water Sect, and Fentian Temple.

To fulfill his promise to the Immortal Cloud Kun, Wang Mu used action points to trigger the event at the East Travel Reservoir.

Even if he didn't obtain anything particularly valuable, he hoped to catch plenty of Spirit Fish in this reservoir to ensure the Immortal Cloud Kun had its fill.

In fact, while fishing, Wang Mu had posed a very crucial question:

"With your strength, why don't you simply transform into a larger size, leap into the sea, and eat whatever fish you want?"

Indeed, the Immortal Cloud Kun was powerful. Like the Ancient Black Dragon, if it reverted to its true form, it could devour countless fish in a single gulp.

Even if it couldn't easily snatch prey in the Upper Realm, it was only because there were too many beings far stronger than itself there.

However, in the Lower Realm, few could compare to its might.

"Spirit Fish in any waters are products of heaven and earth, not ordinary beasts," the Immortal Cloud Kun explained.

"They are gifts from the Heavenly Dao, often imbued with significant karma. If I were to revert to my true form, these Spirit Fish would be constrained by certain rules. I likely wouldn't be able to consume even a single one, or if I did, it would simply turn to nothingness."

This was similar to the logic behind why even experts of Heroine Yan's and Demoness Mu's cultivation level could only use fishing rods to catch the Divine Fish in the Linglong Love Abyss.

These were gifts from the Heavenly Dao; one could not take them by force, only receive them through fate.

Other sea beasts were not Spirit Fish. As a dignified Immortal Cloud Kun from the Upper Realm, it only consumed such gifts from the world.

It did not eat other sea beasts.

"Are there Spirit Fish in the Upper Realm?" Wang Mu asked.

"Yes, there are many in the Heavenly River. Some Immortals fish there, and we who live in the Heavenly River either learn to fish like the Immortals or become hunters who capture Immortal Fish. Unfortunately, hunting Immortal Fish in the Heavenly River is even more difficult than angling for them."

"There are too many powerful Immortal Beasts in the Heavenly River. Even if their hunting abilities are strong, they often alternate between feasting and starving."

"Some, in order to eat the Immortal Fish, are willing to become mounts for some Immortal officials."

So, the Upper Realm also has its share of fishing enthusiasts, huh? Wang Mu mused.

Chatting idly, the man and the Kun soon arrived at the East Travel Reservoir.

The reservoir wasn't very far from the Heavenly Control Workshop. At the Sword Flight speed of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, one could likely reach it in a day.

However, this reservoir was quite interesting.

Arriving at the reservoir and looking down, one could see that the entire body of water was suspended in mid-air.

It wasn't the typical kind, nestled between mountains.

It was vast. The advantage of its suspended nature was that Cultivators could easily find fishing platforms anywhere around it.

However, the water was veiled in a hazy, dim light, and Divine Sense could not even penetrate its surface.

"Huh... This water feels a bit like the Nine Nether Divine Spring?" Wang Mu said in surprise.

Previously, in the Sea Abyss of the Dongling Sea, after dealing with the Heavenly Demon Wang Lao, Wang Mu had obtained Nine Nether Spring Water and merged it with the small water droplet.

Now, he felt that the water in this reservoir was somewhat similar to the Nine Nether Spring Water, though not entirely.

Being suspended, it was encircled by powerful Barriers. Judging from their scope and resilience, they were at least the work of experts at the Crossing Tribulation stage. Furthermore, a unique spatial aura emanated from beneath the reservoir, making it very peculiar.

Since Divine Sense could not perceive the conditions within the reservoir, one could only rely on naked-eye observation and fishing experience to determine where Spirit Fish might be more abundant.

When Wang Mu arrived, the areas around and in the middle of the reservoir were already teeming with Cultivators. They stood poised on their respective Magic Artifacts, like lanterns dotting the sky, fishing serenely.

Wang Mu was surprised. So many Cultivators?

A single glance was enough for Wang Mu to realize, for the first time, just how exceptionally crowded this place was with Cultivators.

It seemed that among Cultivators, there were quite a few fishing enthusiasts.

This reservoir was leased out. Its construction, Barriers, and access channels all required powerful experts to establish, so naturally, access wasn't free.

Two Nascent Soul Cultivators guarded the entrance to the Barrier.

Judging by their attire and age, they seemed to be Elders from the three major sects that leased the reservoir.

"How do you charge for this?" Wang Mu flew over and asked.

The two Elders stroked their beards and said, "Ten Top-grade Spirit Stones will allow you to fish for half a day."

Wang Mu was taken aback. That expensive?

Top-grade Spirit Stones were a common cultivation resource for Cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above.

A single Top-grade Spirit Stone was enough for a Golden Core Cultivator to accelerate their cultivation for more than half a month.

Ten of them? Wang Mu thought. A Golden Core Cultivator could certainly afford that.

However, it was important to note that fishing here wasn't like ordinary fishing. When a fish took the bait, it might take several days of effort to successfully reel it in.

Fishing here was, in itself, a form of cultivation!

"If you find it expensive, you can go somewhere else," the elder on the right said with a smile. "The reservoir is only open for three months this time, and it won't wait for anyone once the time is up."

"Is there anything special about it?" Wang Mu asked.

The two Elders exchanged a glance. The one on the left said, "Seeing your youthful and seemingly frail appearance, perhaps this is your first time fishing here? No matter, we will highlight the key points for you."

"During this opening of the reservoir, several types of special Spirit Fish might appear."

"The Long-bearded Salamander, which is of Immortal grade and can increase your Life Span by a hundred years."

"The Golden Qilin Fish, which can enhance the quality of one's Spirit Root, raising it to Heavenly Grade; it is also of Immortal grade."

"The Divine Travel Fish, which can improve the chances of one's Primordial Spirit undergoing Divinity Transformation; this fish can also cause certain changes in the Primordial Spirit, thereby generating special Primordial Spirit Divine Abilities. It is the target of countless Nascent Soul Cultivators in this reservoir."

"These three are all Divine Fish of Immortal grade."

Immortal grade was a classification for Spirit Fish, similar to the grading of Elixirs and Magic Artifacts: Upper, Middle, Lower, Taoist grade, Immortal grade, and Divine grade.

The Immortal-grade Divine Fish Wang Mu had previously caught from the Linglong Love Abyss was one such type. Another was the one he caught at the Fetal Breath Spring, which he later gifted to that Fairy from the Moon Palace.

It had to be said that for a fish to be classified as Immortal grade, it was indeed exceptionally potent.

"As for the other numerous Upper-grade and Taoist-grade Spirit Fish, they are countless. Of course," the two Elders said with a smile, "although there are many, whether you can catch one still depends on your own skill."

"I want to eat!" declared the Immortal Cloud Kun, flapping its tail, mentally communicating with Wang Mu.

Wang Mu pondered for a moment. Top-grade Spirit Stones... I actually don't have any, he realized.

Having been constantly on the move, Wang Mu hadn't had the chance to acquire resources for a long time.

This was because the resources used by ordinary Cultivators were largely useless to him now.

To say nothing of other needs, just the resources required for cultivating the Five Elements Cultivation Method were exceedingly rare in the Nine Provinces and difficult to find in the current world.

But... there was a solution.

Wang Mu found a secluded spot and directly utilized the Mechanism Creation Technique. After several days of effort, he managed to create over twenty Top-grade Spirit Stones... and immediately felt completely drained.

Wang Mu mused, This Mechanism Creation Technique is indeed practical... This shouldn't count as forgery, right?

He examined the Top-grade Spirit Stones in his hand. They were smooth and perfectly formed, as if freshly mined from a Spirit Vein.

These were genuine and usable Top-grade Spirit Stones.

"Fellow Daoist, once the Spirit Stones are paid, there will be no refunds," one of the Elders said.

"If you return empty-handed..."

The two Elders smiled. "Additionally, these Spirit Stones in your hand..."
