God of Fishing Chapter 836 - Quiet Upgrade

Chapter 836: Quiet Upgrade

On the next day.
After breakfast, Qing Chen left to train himself, and Big Yellow continued fishing.
Han Fei thought that he would have tea at Ye Qingfeng’s home in the afternoon, so he didn’t visit him in the morning.
He came to Wang Dashuai’s home, only to find that Wang Dashuai had returned with a big squid, claiming that he would make a hotpot.
Han Fei felt sorry for him for about three seconds, then he said, “Senior Brother, there’s something I must ask you.”
Wang Dashuai smiled innocently. “Junior Brother, just ask.”
Han Fei asked, “Senior Brother, is the turtle at the bottom of the lake making a breakthrough?”
Before Wang Dashuai replied, Bai Lu, who had been busy, asked, “Junior Brother, have you met the old turtle?”
Han Fei slightly nodded. “When I fished with Big Yellow yesterday, it talked to me telepathically.”
Bai Lu gradually became solemn. “Did he propose a deal with you?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes!”
Wang Dashuai laid down the huge green door and sat down with Bai Lu. The two of them looked at each other, which puzzled Han Fei.
Bai Lu said, “Junior Brother, truth be told, the old turtle is indeed attempting a breakthrough. It’s half an Explorer right now. It’s already a peak-level Sea Spirit in terms of the sea demon levels.”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “It’s about to make a breakthrough?”
Bai Lu nodded. “Yes. Although the old turtle isn’t malicious, no more than five people will be able to suppress it after its breakthrough.”
Wang Dashuai added, “Junior brother, you have to go through Heavenly Tribulations to become an Explorer. You also need a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. Once the old turtle makes a breakthrough, all the spiritual energy near the island will be drained. Do you think the sea demons will ignore the opportunity?”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Can’t it make a breakthrough on the sea? Besides, aren’t there Explorers on the Scattered Stars Island? Can’t they kill it?”
Bai Lu slightly shook her head. “Junior brother, you underestimate the cost of the battle of an Explorer, who can easily shatter half of the Scattered Stars Island. The old turtle, on the other hand, is extremely sturdy. If we’re to fight it, the Scattered Stars Island might sink. Even if it doesn’t, what about the human beings on the island?”
Han Fei swallowed. Was the attack of an Explorer really so powerful?
Maybe it was. back then, Chun Huangdian was able to move eight hundred kilometers of mountains away. His power was beyond imagination.
Han Fei was in a trance. “But why does the old turtle not come out?”
Bai Lu sighed. “Of course it could… It would’ve come out a long time ago if it could. In fact, it was sealed underneath the Empyrean Waterfall countless years ago. It’s safe to say that the Empyrean Waterfall is the old turtle, and the old turtle is the Empyrean Waterfall. It’s suppressed.”
Han Fei lost his cool. “It’s pressed down there?”
Wang Dashuai looked up at the highly-rising Empyrean Waterfall. “You didn’t see this coming, did you? Once the old turtle breaks free, the Empyrean Waterfall will be destroyed, which is actually fine. But if it makes a breakthrough on the Scattered Stars Island, human beings will have to evacuate to stay safe from the Heavenly Tribulation.”
Han Fei finally realized why the old turtle wanted to get demonic stones from him. It was trying to break the seal!
Han Fei considered for a moment. “There’s no other way?”
Bai Lu smiled. “We’re working on it. It will take at least twenty years for the old turtle to make a breakthrough. We’ve been arranged to stay here exactly to swallow the power of the seal near the Empyrean Waterfall. Do you know why Xiao Jiu holds the seal? By logic, a Law Enforcer shouldn’t have received such a weird powerful rule, but Xiao Jiu did.”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “The Empyrean Waterfall? Does Jiuyin Ling master the power to seal the big turtle?”
Wang Dashuai slightly shook his head. “Not entirely, but more or less. Every time a person at the Empyrean Waterfall becomes a Law Enforcer, the power of the seal will be weakened, until the big turtle can break it in the end. It’s also a pact of peace that we made with the big turtle.”
Han Fei nodded thoughtfully.
Bai Lu suddenly asked, “Junior Brother, did you exchange something with the old turtle?”
Han Fei replied guiltily, “What if I did? Would it make the big turtle complete the breakthrough sooner?”
Bai Lu and Wang Dashuai looked at each other in bewilderment and asked Han Fei, “Did you really barter with it?”
Han Fei smiled awkwardly. “Just a little bit. It shouldn’t be much for a big turtle that’s a peak-level Sea Spirit.”
Bai Lu rolled her eyes and said, “Just like everybody else from the Thug Academy, the first thing they do after coming to the Empyrean Waterfall is barter with the big turtle…”
Han Fei was instantly shocked. “Huh? So, I’m not the first person to barter with the big turtle?”
Wang Dashuai cackled, and Bai Lu said helplessly, “Your Senior Brother Chu Linyuan, and your Senior Sister Mu Qingchuan, got a lot of things from the big turtle on their first day here, which shortened the big turtle’s breakthrough by ten years. Because of that, and something else, they still do not dare to come back.”
Han Fei knew that the other thing must be digging into the Transverse Mountain. He took a deep breath and asked, “So fast? They shortened the big turtle’s breakthrough?”
Han Fei looked at Wang Dashuai, who chuckled and said, “I didn’t get much. I only exchanged for thirty thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid before I was discovered.”
Han Fei asked in surprise, “Senior brother, that can’t be the reason why you’re forbidden from going to the sea, right?”
Bai Lu snorted. “How can it be so simple? Your Senior Brother, having nothing to barter with the big turtle, looted an Undersea Chimney… So here he is.”
Han Fei remembered that Jiang Qin mentioned it before. He couldn’t help but ask Wang Dashuai, “Senior Brother, how much Spirit Awakening Fluid was there in the Undersea Chimney?”
Wang Dashuai smiled innocently and scratched his head. “I only got half a million kilograms. There was a lot more that I didn’t get.”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei didn’t know what to say. Half a million kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid? How many points would it be worth? His Senior Brother was truly brutal.
He had only exchanged for five thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid from the big turtle, which wasn’t a lot by comparison.
Bai Lu asked curiously, “Junior brother, what did you exchange with the big turtle?”
Han Fei said slowly, “I gave it demonic stones. Was I tricked?”
Bai Lu looked at Han Fei in surprise. “Junior brother, you didn’t absorb them, did you?”
Han Fei shook his head. He didn’t dare to absorb them at all! The spiritual energy and demonic Qi inside the demonic stones were too impure and violent. There was no way that he would absorb them.
Wang Dashuai patted Han Fei’s shoulder. “Then you can make exchanges, as long as you don’t get more than fifty thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid.”
Han Fei rolled his eyes. If I could get fifty thousand kilograms of Spirit Awakening Fluid, I would’ve asked for thirty thousand last night!
…
After another bowl of rice at Wang Dashuai’s place, and firmly refusing Bai Lu’s offer of another bowl, Han Fei quickly escaped from their home.
In the afternoon.
Han Fei simply stayed at Ye Qingfeng’s place. Although this old man rarely smiled, Han Fei felt that he was a good guy.
Because Han Fei came early, the old man made tea for him and then chatted with Han Fei while holding a giant centipede in his arms.
Ye Qingfeng asked, “Han Fei, are you interested in learning about poisons? You’re perfect to learn poisons with the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect.”
Glancing at the giant centipede in his arms, Han Fei was quite frightened.
If he were to spend the rest of his life with those creatures, he might as well kill himself immediately.
Han Fei quickly shook his head. “No… Pills and poisons aren’t suitable for me. I think I’ll just cultivate regularly. I’m going to build up my body to the strongest level.”
Ye Qingfeng glanced at Han Fei casually. “Oh? Then you can practice with Qing Chen later. He’s a body practitioner too. He might be a freeloader, but body practitioners all require a great amount of food and energy. They consume much more energy than refiners and alchemists do.”
Han Fei remembered Qing Chen’s dirty clothes and wondered if that was the reason why he was so slim.
A moment later, the tea was ready, and Ye Qingfeng said, “The poisons today are insipid, but they taste good after they’re mixed. Since you can’t be killed anyway, you can have three cups.”
Hearing that he could have three cups, Han Fei quickly grabbed a cup and filled it into his stomach.
In his stomach, the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect started to feast again. About ten minutes later, the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect flashed and leveled up.
Han Fei gasped hard. This poison cultivator was indeed an expert when it came to poison-related things.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, do you have an encyclopedia of venomous worms and grasses?”
Ye Qingfeng was slightly surprised. “Have you thought it through?”
Han Fei shook his head. “No! I want to know them when I see them in the future, so I can catch some of them for you!”
As a matter of fact, how could Ye Qingfeng not know what was on Han Fei’s mind?
Ye Qingfeng: “…”
