Chapter 1158: Chapter 717

Lu Qing quickly returned to Jiuli Village with Little Li.

Upon reaching home, he saw Little Li and Han Lingshuang still in seclusion for cultivation.

However, judging from their aura, their refinement of Primordial Blood was evidently progressing smoothly, and the strength of their physical bodies had enhanced significantly.

He glanced over and found that the White Flood Dragon and Five Elements were also earnestly cultivating nearby.

Thus, he did not disturb everyone’s cultivation and strolled around the village.

After being back for so long, he hadn’t taken a proper look around the village yet.

During his walk, Lu Qing immediately sensed that the village had undergone quite a transformation.

Years ago, before he left, he had strengthened the village’s array a bit, making its ability to gather spiritual energy even more robust.

Over these decades, the spiritual charm within the village had reached a rather remarkable level.

Although it’s still a distance away from cultivation holy lands like the Holy Mountain, it compares favorably to many cultivation sects situated on famous mountains and rivers.

Nurtured by such rich spiritual charm, the flora of the village had transformed into spirit grass and spirit wood.

Lush and verdant, it filled the entire village with vitality.

Under the nourishment of spiritual charm and vitality like this, the villagers were free from illness and disaster, becoming quite healthy and robust even without cultivation.

Most newborns naturally possessed a talent for cultivation, and given time, the descendants of Jiuli Village would undoubtedly have increasingly better aptitude.

It’s not surprising if real cultivation geniuses appear in the future.

Standing on Lu Qing’s shoulder, Little Li happily observed the changes around.

The village’s aura made it feel very comfortable.

Villagers walking in the village greeted Lu Qing and Little Li with respect.

Nowadays in Jiuli Village, aside from a few elderly people, most other villagers regarded Lu Qing with great respect and admiration.

Even extending such respect to Little Li, they held it in exceptional esteem.

Because they had heard from the village elders since childhood that Little Li was a spiritual beast, capable of soaring through the skies and traveling in the earth, incredibly powerful.

Even those powerful cultivators outside couldn’t match its prowess.

Hence, they treated it with great reverence.

Lu Qing was quite used to the villagers’ attitude.

He knew it was unavoidable, as the younger generation of the village was too unfamiliar with him.

As he continued walking, Lu Qing arrived in front of a small river.

Unconsciously, he had arrived at the riverbank where he used to frequently fish.

However, compared to back then, the small river had undergone significant changes.

It had become much more elegant, even the river water flowing within was crystal clear, containing spiritual energy.

It could be said that just this river water, placed before the spiritual energy recovery, would be considered a treasure, an invaluable spirit water.

Lu Qing could also sense the presence of many living creatures within the small river, evidently the fish swimming in the river.

At this moment, Lu Qing sensed something, turned his head and saw Little Li’s eyes fixedly staring at the river.

Clearly, it too had sensed the presence of the fish in the river.

Seeing Little Li’s expression, Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Little Li, we haven’t gone fishing in a while, how about we fish for a while today?"

"Sure, sure!" Upon hearing this, Little Li’s eyes immediately lit up, "I haven’t eaten Spirit Fish in such a long time!"

Seeing the little creature so delighted, Lu Qing smiled.

Indeed, he hadn’t fished for a long time either.

Immediately, Lu Qing retrieved the fishing rod he had painstakingly crafted years ago from the Qiankun Qi Bag.

He also dug out a few earthworms from the mud nearby, threaded them on the hook, and casually chose a fishing spot to start fishing.

Little Li sat expectantly beside him, glaring at the bobber on the water’s surface.

Seeing it in this state, Lu Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

Actually, with Little Li’s current Golden Core Realm Great Cultivator strength, if it wanted to eat Spirit Fish, it could evaporate this small river at will and capture the Spirit Fish.

But it seemed Little Li had never thought of doing so.

It never engaged in fishing itself, always preferring to eat something ready-made.

However, Lu Qing could understand.

It’s just like him fishing; with his current cultivation, if he desired, he could, in a single thought, catch all the Spirit Fish in this river, leaving not even a small fish untouched.

But doing so would be too dull, utterly devoid of the joy of fishing.

Thus, not only did Lu Qing refrain from doing so, but he also withdrew his Primordial Spirit Sense, abstaining from exploring what fish were beneath the water.

He solely relied on his eyes to watch the bobber, fully enjoying the unknown pleasure of fishing.

Due to the increasingly rich spiritual energy, the red earthworms by the small river had now all contained spiritual charm, becoming spiritual insects.

These spiritual insects were also beloved by the river’s Spirit Fish, so after Lu Qing’s hook was cast, shortly the bobber first tremored, then suddenly submerged.

Without hesitation, Lu Qing flicked his wrist lightly, a fiery red Spirit Fish was tossed into the air.

"Ah, an old friend."

When Lu Qing saw the appearance of that Spirit Fish, his eyebrows raised.

It turned out this Spirit Fish was none other than a Red Moon Carp.

Watching the Red Moon Carp wriggle on the hook, Lu Qing felt a momentary trance.

Years ago, the first Strange Fish he caught while fishing was the Red Moon Carp.

Unexpectedly, after many years since returning to his hometown, his first fishing catch was still this Strange Fish.

He had to admit, he shared quite a unique fate with this Red Moon Carp.

Naturally, the Red Moon Carp now contained far more spiritual charm than the one he caught back then.
