Chapter 2162 Dao Fish
"Let me think about it." Qingyu did not immediately agree to Lu Ye's proposal. Having been able to survive in Xingyuan for so many years, he must not be an impulsive person.

After all, she has to take care of the twenty-plus people under her command.

Lu Ye did not force her. Admittedly, it would be good if this group of people could enter the starry sky and help defend it, but even without them, there would not be any major problems with the current starry sky.

Moreover, Lu Ye vaguely felt that they were already considered Star Abyss cultivators, and it might not be easy for them to enter the starry sky through the Star Abyss Gate. They would probably be restricted by the gate like other Star Abyss creatures.

"In two or three days, the fish will appear. Brother, I guess you don't know how to catch it?" Qingyu changed the subject.

"I was about to ask for advice."

Qingyu said: "The Dao Pond is mysterious. When the Dao fish appears, the entire Dao Pond will undergo some strange changes. However, Brother Dao must not enter the pond, as it will be very dangerous at that time. If you want to capture the Dao fish, you can only rely on the power of Dao..."

Lu Ye listened quietly to Qingyu's story and became quite interested in this pool.

The group waited for another two or three days, and indeed the Dao Pond had changed.

The water in the not-so-big Taoist pond was originally crystal clear, but from a certain moment on, it suddenly became turbid, as if some invisible object was stirring it. Within just an incense stick of time, the water turned as black as ink.

Lu Ye tried to use his spiritual sense to probe into it, and it was just as Qingyu had said before, the water in the pool was now so deep that even his spiritual sense could not penetrate into it. It only floated on the surface, and he could not find out the situation inside at all.

Qingyu and his group scattered around the Taoist pond, waiting with expectant expressions.

In the past, every time the Taoist Pond was opened, their group of people could only occupy a corner and share the profits with the other two families. But this time was different. With the destruction of Manshan and Longji, only their group of people were left, and they would definitely have a great harvest.

For monks like them who mostly rely on hard practice to accumulate their own spiritual power, such an opportunity is extremely rare.

Lu Ye stared intently at the pool water in front of him, and while no one else was paying attention, he quietly put a hand into the water.

According to the information Qingyu provided him, after the strange things happened in the Dao Pond, the water in the pond seemed to be highly corrosive. A Taoist once fell into it and in the blink of an eye half of his body was gone, and he eventually died tragically.

He wanted to try out what was going on. When it came to dealing with erosion, the talent tree had an absolute advantage.

If he could avoid the harm of the pond water, he could jump in and catch some fish.

As soon as a finger entered the water, Lu Ye immediately noticed changes in his talent tree. As expected, some power had invaded his body, causing the talent tree to react, but the reaction was not very strong.

If it were just that, it would be fine. The key point is that in just three breaths, Lu Ye felt that part of his finger was rapidly becoming stiff, and then showed some signs of losing consciousness.

He quickly withdrew his hand and looked over carefully. He couldn't help but look horrified. The finger had become somewhat illusory, and there was a faint sign that it did not exist in this space.

He had never encountered such a strange thing. After a moment of hesitation, he gave up his plan to enter the pool.

Qingyu was right. There was great danger in the Dao Pool during this period. It was not the corrosive force that the Talent Tree could not resist, but a more dangerous force at work.

After a while, the illusory fingers slowly became solid and the numbness and stiffness disappeared.

Lu Ye stared at the pool of water in front of him again, secretly urging his Taoist power, ready to go.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a golden spot flashed by, and vaguely, ripples appeared on the water.

He immediately raised his hand, condensed his energy into a beam, and struck towards that direction.

When the condensed Taoist power entered the water, Lu Ye felt vaguely as if something was locked. At the same time, there was a violent struggle. However, before he could continue, the locked object broke free from his control. A huge splash of water appeared and Lu Ye frowned.

With a splash, Qingyu beside him showed joy. Lu Ye turned his head and saw a small golden fish about the length of a palm flying out of the water under the guidance of Qingyu.

The golden little fish looked like a living thing, but Lu Ye recognized at a glance that it was not a living creature, but a wonder condensed from extremely pure Taoist power.

Just like the star fruit, it looks like a fruit, but it is actually not a fruit.

The Taoist fish fell into Qingyu's hand. She opened her mouth slightly and sucked gently, sucking all the gold into her mouth.

Dao fish cannot be preserved, so once caught, it must be used up immediately, otherwise it will slowly dissipate over time.

Qing Yu turned to look at Lu Ye: "You can't use brute force, you have to use cleverness. The more brute force you use on this Dao fish, the harder it will resist. Brother Dao, don't worry, just try a few more times and it will work."

Lu Ye nodded and continued to look at the water in front of him.

But if there was any movement, they would immediately start capturing it.

But he failed several times in a row. At his best chance, the fish was already out of water, but it still escaped his control and fell into the water.

Lu Ye's heart became ruthless, and he directly activated fifteen forces.

This time it finally worked!

The so-called resistance is simply a joke in the face of absolute power control.

Imitating Qingyu's way of enjoying the fish, Lu Ye discovered that his Taoist power had only increased by about twenty Tao!
The harvest was not great... because every time he captured a Taoist fish, the Taoist power he mobilized would be directly consumed after being soaked in the strange pool water, so it was equivalent to that he only harvested five strands of Taoist power.

This is also the reason why Qingyu has always emphasized that Lu Ye should use clever strength. Every time they take action, they only mobilize one or two forces, never too much, because they cannot afford it.

After several successive successes, Lu Ye frowned and said, "Daoist friend, is this the only way to catch Dao fish?"

Although he gained something by doing this, it was not much.

Qingyu said, "So far, we have been using this method, but..." She seemed to remember something, "Manshan did complain last time that one day when he is promoted to the Rong Dao, he must raise a Taoist soldier specially used for fishing, and kill all the Taoist fish in this pond."

He laughed again and said, "He has indeed been promoted to the Rong Dao, but I'm afraid he will never be able to raise a Dao soldier."

Lu Ye's expression changed: "Can the Taoist soldiers resist the strangeness of this pool of water?"

Qing Yu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but the meaning of Manshan's words... should be so."

Lu Ye immediately drew out the Panshan Sword.

Qingyu was startled: "Brother Dao, what are you doing?"

Lu Ye blinked: "Try it!"

Although there is not enough energy left to nourish it, the Panshan Sword has definitely reached the level of a Taoist weapon!
Having said that, he was still very careful. He held the knife and slowly dipped the tip of the knife into the pool water, then retracted it as soon as it touched the water.

Looking closely, there was nothing unusual about the tip of the knife.

He tried it again, this time dipping a larger portion of it, and made sure that the Panshan Knife was not damaged at all, only then did he feel relieved.

Sure enough, the Taoist soldiers could withstand the strange pool water.

"Dao soldiers!" Qingyu stared at the Panshan Knife in Lu Ye's hand in a daze, and finally confirmed that Lu Ye was indeed a Rong Dao, because only Rong Dao was qualified to own Dao soldiers. People like them who had entered the Dao were still struggling on the road of polishing their Dao bones, so how could they be qualified to raise Dao soldiers.

Then her eyes twitched, because Lu Ye was holding the Panshan Knife upside down, poking at the water in front of him...

Suddenly, Lu Ye's expression lit up with joy. He raised his long sword, and saw that a struggling fish had been pierced on the tip of the sword.

Does this work too?
This funny behavior not only stunned Qingyu, but also the people around him. They were stunned. Besides laughing, they were also envious.

With the help of the Panshan Sword, Lu Ye's efficiency in catching Taoist fish has greatly increased, and he no longer needs to worry about activating Taoist power. It is simply a no-cost business.

Those Taoist fish were diving and swimming underwater, and they probably never imagined that a long knife would fall from the sky and pierce their bodies.

However, gradually, Lu Ye discovered that the number of Dao fish on his side became scarce, and it often took a long time to catch one. It seemed that the Dao fish were frightened by his actions and would not approach him.

He didn't care. The harvest of Dao fish was a rare treasure for Qingyu and his group, but for him, it was just icing on the cake.

The changes in the Taoist Pond only lasted for two days. When the water gradually became clear again, there was no abnormality in the pond.

More than 20 people came, each with their own gains and smiling faces.

"Brother Taoist, we are ready to go back. What are your plans next?" Qingyu walked up to Lu Ye and asked.

“Just go with the flow and take things as they come.”

Lu Ye really doesn’t have any specific plans. The most important thing now is to improve his strength and find a way to solve the starry sky crisis.

"Brother, would you like to reconsider the matter I proposed earlier?" Qingyu had no intention of persuading him anymore, but he couldn't help but say one more word.

Lu Ye shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't stay in one place for long."

Qing Yu sighed in his heart and could only say: "Then... let's say goodbye. I will seriously consider what Daoyou said before."

"Take care, everyone!" Lu Ye clasped his fists.

Everyone returned the gift one after another.

Led by Qingyu, the twenty figures returned along the original route. As for whether they would go to the Xingyuan Gate... Lu Ye did not force it. It all depended on Qingyu and the others' own wishes.

After they left, Lu Ye activated his precious blood clone to guard the four directions, and then he sat down cross-legged.

Checking my own Taoist power, it is nearly four thousand.

Excluding the reserved two thousand, there are still two thousand Taoist forces that can be used to polish the Taoist bones.

Calm your mind and take action.

A day later, Lu Ye stood up with a calm expression.

After consuming two thousand Dao powers, the difference was not much different from expectations, and two more Dao bones were formed.

Now, he has ten Dao bones and under the stimulation of Dao power, he has the power of nineteen Daos. He is going further and further on the road to becoming invincible in the Dao realm.

When fighting against Manshan before, if he had the power of Nineteen Daos, Lu Ye estimated that he would not be injured, and he should be able to surround and kill him with his original body and clone.

But it is also fortunate that Manshan does not have his own Taoist soldiers, otherwise the power that Manshan can mobilize would be stronger.

Lu Ye's current path of cultivation is somewhat different. Although it is gratifying to polish his Dao bones and improve his strength, if so, it will be a long time before he can merge with the Dao.

It can be considered a gain and a loss.
