Chapter 017

Cheng Hui was quite shocked.

He even wondered if his time travel was all just a figment of his imagination.

Perhaps his real body was currently lying on a hospital bed, becoming a vegetable. Otherwise, how could he feel the emotions of a spiritual light so clearly?

"Huihui?" Lin Qingyang noticed that his wife seemed to be very shocked and looked depressed.

Cheng Hui waved his hands. He felt that he needed to calm down, but while calming down, he did not forget to force the spiritual light into the corner.

Let’s talk about whether it is an illusion or not, but we must not throw away the benefits we have obtained.

Lingguang: ...MMP!

Lin Qingyang didn't understand what was going on and thought Cheng Hui was frustrated about not being able to activate his talent, so he quickly tried to comfort him.

Cheng Hui waved his hands to indicate that he was fine and just needed some quiet time.

Lin Qingyang stood by worriedly, looking at Ouyang Zheng for help. He had previously practiced the techniques of the Blood Demon Sect, and while he had no problems with his own cultivation, it was different with Cheng Hui's corpse. If a problem arose, he would have no choice but to seek help from his master or other seniors.

Ouyang Zheng shook his head helplessly. To be honest, he had never seen such a wonderful corpse. It was obviously just a walking corpse, but it gave people a very lively feeling, especially its eyes, which contained too many emotions. If it had not been for the fact that it was stumbling in its movements and unable to speak smoothly, he would even have mistaken it for a silver-armored corpse.

Cheng Hui was withdrawn for a while, but soon regained his optimism.

Who cares!

Never mind whether this time travel was real or not. Even if it was fake, so what? Could he still be alive in the real world?

He clearly remembered that the big truck knocked him away. Considering the tonnage of that truck, it would be difficult for him to survive intact, let alone how serious the injury was.

Cheng Hui quickly convinced himself that his greatest strength in life was his optimism. No matter how difficult the circumstances were, as long as he could still survive, he would live with a smile.

He still remembered what his grandmother said when he was a child: a day of sadness is also a day of happiness, so why not choose to live happily?

The kid who used to be a bit of a chatterbox, making him unhappy all day long, had finally calmed down after he'd convinced him with reason. It didn't matter what they said behind his back, as long as he didn't let them hear it and it would affect his mood.

"Huihui, how are you?" Lin Qingyang asked cautiously.

Cheng Hui felt that he had caught the spiritual light, but the problem was... he didn't feel that he had any extra talents.

He could only shake his head, and Lin Qingyang quickly comforted him: "This is normal. If talents were so easy to activate, there wouldn't be so many Xuan corpses missing."

Cheng Hui couldn't help but feel a little guilty after hearing this. The other person's Xuanshi couldn't activate his talent because it was incompatible with the spiritual light in the magic fish gold. He directly swallowed the spiritual light and there was no reaction. These were two completely different things.

He felt uneasy and felt that his body was increasingly strange.

No matter what he was thinking, he appeared quite calm.

These were all his previous experiences. Even if he was panicking inside, he had to appear calm on the outside to avoid being seen through by others.

Naturally, he didn't need to hide anything from Lin Qingyang, but Ouyang Zheng was here at the moment, and he didn't want to expose his peculiarity.

In the world of cultivation, the crime of possessing a treasure is the most terrifying. Ouyang Zheng may really be a good person, but he does not want to gamble with his and Lin Qingyang's lives on the integrity of others.

Ouyang Zheng said to Lin Qingyang, "Don't worry. Talent is a matter of luck. My Xiaohong has only activated one talent, which is already very good. You have to be patient and take your time. You will definitely find the right Magic Fish Gold."

"Thank you for your comfort, senior brother." Lin Qingyang thanked him.

The two came to the river and consciously separated in different directions. As they walked forward, they explored the magic fish Jin in the river.

Since the river surface is black and the Magic Fish Gold is also black, it naturally takes some effort to find it.

Lin Qingyang suffered a disadvantage because his cultivation was too low. He was fully capable of challenging opponents of higher levels in actual combat, and he even had many hidden tricks that could be used for explosive results, but when faced with this kind of thing, he had no way out and could only slowly look for it.

Cheng Hui followed him slowly, walking unsteadily like a penguin.

He looked at Lin Qingyang struggling to find the magic fish gold, jumping into the water from time to time without any success, and suddenly felt distressed.

He had just felt the temperature of the underground river and was caught off guard and even got a little cold.

Lin Qingyang was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining at this time. Even though he was not afraid of Yin Qi because of his practice of Corpse Life Xuanluo Gong, he still had to withstand the cold by himself.

This happened several times in a row. Every time he came out, his face was pale and his clothes were wet, sticking to his thin body, which made Cheng Hui feel very uncomfortable.

Even if he wanted to go into the water, the result of his uncontrolled body would be that he would sink to the bottom. Not only would he be unable to help, but Lin Qingyang would have to trouble him to rescue him.

So annoying!

Cheng Hui was very upset. This feeling of being a waste was really unpleasant.

Crash!

Lin Qingyang climbed out of the water again, shook off the river water on his body, and forced a smile. His teeth were chattering from the cold, but his expression was very happy.

"Huihui, I found another piece of magic fish gold. You can try it."

He put a fist-sized piece of magic fish gold into Cheng Hui's hand, and Cheng Hui suddenly felt mixed emotions.

Lin Qingyang was really good to him. This unconditional kindness made him feel heavy in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be able to repay this kindness in the future.

Holding the magic fish gold, he felt that he was holding Lin Qingyang's most sincere heart. He looked at Lin Qingyang deeply and made a decision in his heart.

If Lin Qingyang really recognized him and even gave up on becoming his Taoist partner, even if he didn't have that kind of feeling for him, he would still be willing to stay by his side forever, just like having a younger brother.

The same operation, the same spiritual coverage.

The aura in this piece of magic fish gold is obviously not as flexible as the previous one.

It dodged left and right inside the ore, but its flexibility was far worse than the previous one. It was caught by Cheng Hui in a few moves and sucked into his body.

And then... nothing.

Cheng Hui: ???

What happened to the promised talent activation? Even without activation, it should have been spit out, right? How could it just disappear inexplicably like that?

Cheng Hui searched all over his body but couldn't find it. He just had a vague feeling that this spiritual light should have gone to the same place as the previous one, and... he needed more spiritual light, the more the better.

"Didn't you succeed this time?" Lin Qingyang felt that Cheng Hui seemed to be in a bad mood, so he tried to speak in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter, we can still keep looking."

Cheng Hui frowned and looked at Lin Qingyang, who was still wet in front of him, and his expression became increasingly ugly.

Keep looking? You might be trying to freeze yourself to death.

Don't think that cultivators will not get sick. The coldness of the river water is not comparable to ordinary colds. After going through so many troubles, you might get seriously ill after returning. If you continue to search aimlessly like this, he is sure that it will cause irreversible consequences for Lin Qingyang.

No! We can't let this little brat keep looking.

"Reply..." Cheng Hui struggled to utter a single word.

Lin Qingyang coldly rejected her, "No, Huihui, be obedient. You only have a few chances to activate your talent. If you miss this one, you won't be able to make it up in the future. My Huihui doesn't want to be inferior to others because of this, right?"

Cheng Hui: ...

Cheng Hui had no comment on this.

What? Just like Lin Qingyang said, there are only so many opportunities. If you give up once, you have one less than others.

In future battles, the difference in talent might lead to your defeat. However, in the world of cultivation, defeat is not just about being defeated, you might even lose your life.

Cheng Hui didn't pursue his own strength that much, but he clearly remembered that he was Lin Qingyang's Xuan corpse. His strength was closely related to Lin Qingyang. If he was weak, it meant that Lin Qingyang was weak.

It doesn't matter what happens to me, but it would be bad if it affects others.

Cheng Hui thought anxiously, if only there was a way to directly find the location of the Demon Fish Jin.

The Magic Fish Gold is actually not too difficult to catch, and its movement speed is not fast enough. The problem is that this thing is similar in color to the river water, making it difficult to distinguish.

Lin Qingyang had gone into the water seven or eight times before. He had made mistakes in the first few times, and only once did he fail to catch the magic fish. It would be great if he could control the magic fish Jin within a certain range.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Cheng Hui's mind.

etc!

His spiritual sense is so powerful that it can even capture the spiritual light in the magic fish gold. Then, can he use his spiritual sense to cover a section of river water and then look for the magic fish gold in it?

Lin Qingyang cannot stay in the water for too long each time. If he can control the magic fish Jin in a certain area, it will be easy to catch it!

Just do it!

He immediately spread his spiritual sense across a section of the river surface, and then controlled the spiritual sense to form a large net.

In his imagination, he slowly sank the large net, and indeed he could "see" what was happening under the river.

The underground river is not empty. In fact, there are a lot of "things" in it, but most of them are very weak. So after Lin Qingyang entered the water, most of the "things" would actively stay away from him.

Occasionally, some foolish creatures would come over, but they were all killed by Lin Qingyang. However, in Cheng Hui's consciousness, these strange things were immediately exposed.

Cheng Hui: …emmmm……

How to say it.

Calling these things ugly is an insult to the word ugly.

He felt that these things were like deep-sea creatures. Because the environment they lived in was dark enough, no one could see each other, so they grew randomly...

Those strange-looking creatures were even scarier than the ghosts in horror movies. Even though Cheng Hui knew that they were a bunch of weaklings, he still didn't want to get close to them.

Fortunately, he could use his spiritual sense to intimidate those things and drive them all away to prevent them from continuing to pollute his eyes.
