Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 146 Ferry
"Before we switch fish, can you let me know the information about this fish first?" a fan said during the live stream.

Upon hearing this, the number of comments in the live stream exploded.

[Holy crap, what kind of fish is that? It looks terrifying!]

[Brother, don't switch! You'll get scammed if you do!]

That's right, Fish Runner will definitely take advantage of your lack of knowledge about finding bargains.

Glancing at the comments, Chen Beiwu said speechlessly, "Fellow Daoists, please don't talk nonsense. The streamer is a cultivator with integrity and generally doesn't do anything to deceive his fans."

[These two words are usually circled; they'll be on the test later!]

So the question is, is this a normal time of day?

[Hilarious! This streamer is so honest. Doesn't he hesitate to lie to his fans when it's time to do it?]

Seeing the funny comments from the viewers, Guess Who I Am also chuckled and played along, saying, "Any of you guys in the live stream who know how to identify animals? If so, please give me some advice. I'll listen to everyone's suggestions."

"You guys are always spouting conspiracy theories." Chen Beiwu's gaze fell on the strange fish in the video, half-bone and half-flesh, which looked rather grotesque.

Its appearance is bizarre, with a fish head covered by white bone resembling a human face, and two dark blue fish eyes floating in the sunken eye sockets, with reverse Bagua patterns in the pupils.

The fish on the left is plump like a black porcupine, while the fish on the right has exposed pale bones, as if half of its body had been bitten off by some demon.

"This is the Ferry Fish, also known as the Ghost Fish. This kind of spirit fish usually lives in lakes with extremely heavy yin energy. It feeds on corpses, but it also likes to devour the flesh and blood of living beings."

At this point, Chen Beiwu paused slightly: "Who am I, brother? If I'm not mistaken, there should be an ancient battlefield near where you're fishing, where many cultivators have died in the past."

"The streamer is amazing." The fan said with surprise, "My great-grandfather once said that in 21021, which is 3,500 years ago, a great war happened in our area, and many cultivators died. It is said that a demon from another realm crossed over."

[Three thousand five hundred years ago? Brother, you wouldn't happen to be a cultivator from Nanyan Prefecture, would you?]

I remember that battle; it seemed to have lasted less than half an hour.

[Upstairs brother, you're not mistaken. The Battle of Nanyan lasted 21 minutes and 45 seconds, with over 200,000 cultivators dying. It's known in the Immortal Alliance's history as the Demon-Slaying War.]

[Holy crap, what kind of extraterrestrial demon is so powerful that it could cause the Immortal Alliance army to lose over 200,000 soldiers?]

Upon seeing this comment, Chen Beiwu corrected him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Gao Linji, you may be mistaken. The more than 200,000 cultivators who died were not the Immortal Alliance army, but rather the county and prefectural cultivators who did not have time to react."

As for those extraterrestrial demons who dared to invade Tianyuan Star, they were completely annihilated, and the civilization of their planet became part of the Immortal Alliance's territory.

Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers flow, all become the mountains and rivers of the Immortal Alliance.

These words weren't spoken by high-ranking members of the Immortal Alliance; they were forced out through a brutal struggle.

It is no exaggeration to say that the history of the Immortal Alliance, spanning over 24,000 years, is a history of conquest and domination of the civilizations of surrounding planets.

"Cough cough."

Noticing that the topic in the live stream had suddenly gone off-topic, Chen Beiwu coughed twice and took the initiative to say, "The ferry fish has a single function. Its fish bones can be used as the core of a sword embryo to forge a second-tier spirit sword with the characteristic of soul devouring. It cannot be eaten at all."

"The jade-eyed salmon caught by the anchor can be eaten to detoxify and nourish the body, and its eyes can also be used to cultivate second-level divine sense techniques. Its market value is far higher than that of the ferry fish."

Upon hearing this, "Who Am I?" asked hesitantly, "How do you plan to change the streamer?"

Before identifying the fish, he inquired about prices at the local fish market, but few people were willing to buy it, as they all disliked the ferry fish for its unlucky appearance.

The only cultivator willing to bid only offered 100 spirit coins, which was far below his desired price.

“Except for the fish eyes, I can trade you the whole Jade Eye Salmon,” Chen Beiwu added. “If you don’t want the fish, I can also offer 1,000 spirit coins.”

Ferryfish are not very valuable in the Immortal Alliance. This is because the Immortal Alliance has advanced weapon-refining technology and many artificial spiritual materials can replace ferryfish bones, giving second-tier spiritual swords the ability to devour divine consciousness.

But the Southern Wilderness is different!
In the Southern Wilderness, there are very few second-tier ores that can replace the Ferry Fish Bones, which has caused the price of these fish to remain high. The sect's mission hall has even offered a bounty of 3,000 contribution points for each fish.

"I want spiritual energy," the fan said without hesitation.

"Great, please send me your contact information via private message in the background. We'll use the Wanling app platform for escrow transactions."

As soon as he finished speaking, the float on the lake suddenly sank. Chen Beiwu quickly put down his phone and pulled up his fishing rod.

Meanwhile, a hundred feet away from Chen Beiwu's location, two Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.

“This guy seems to be really fine,” the middle-aged man judged.

"Impossible! I've been fishing in Jingyuan West Lake for a hundred years and haven't caught a single spirit fish. This kid must have been secretly hooking fish!" the old man with white hair tied in a topknot muttered.

"Uncle Sun, you saw the fish being caught on the other side just now, how could it be a case of hooking fish?" the big man said with a wry smile.

As the guardian of Jingyuan West Lake, Chen Beiwu could tell at a glance whether he had used his magic or divine sense, without any need for doubt.

On the contrary, this old man, in order to show off, often bought exotic fish at the fish market, then secretly hooked them on his fishing hook and loudly proclaimed that he had caught them.

Isn't this a classic case of the thief crying "stop thief!"?

Aren't these two leaving yet?

Looking at the two beams of light that stood out conspicuously in the night sky, Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

He had only caught a pair of two sturgeon and a jade shark once, yet he was still targeted by the staff of Jingyuan West Lake.

He paid a hefty fishing fee, but these guys just can't afford it.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu pulled the fishing rod, and a heavy suitcase immediately floated to the surface of the lake.

'Oh no, could it be that I've caught another piece of trash?' Chen Beiwu's eyes darkened.

Jingyuan West Lake is not only patrolled by staff, but also has an array that monitors spiritual sense and magical power fluctuations 24 hours a day.

Could that murderer be so stupid as to think the most dangerous place is the safest place and then throw the pieces here?
[Holy crap, something's up!]

[A familiar suitcase, familiar fragments.]

[My youth is back! The law enforcement officers lying in wait in the live stream have something to do again!]

[That's right, this is the level Fish Runner should be at; the previous Jade-Eyed Salmon was purely an illusion.]

"Phew!" Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air.

It seems his previous assumptions were wrong.

Even without using the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique to turn his accumulated luck into a fortuitous encounter, he would still occasionally suffer bad luck.

'Fortunately, the thousand orders of yellowtail orchids displayed in the live stream window have already sold out.' Chen Beiwu glanced at his phone screen.

Today's live-streaming sales task has been completed.

The live stream should maintain its popularity for a long time, enough for my parents to sell out their previous stock of dragon head tea.
