Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 61 Deep Sea Giant Tree
A giant white tree...

Chen Qi stood on the white tree roots and gently stroked the rough bark.

I picked up the black knife and gently cut it open; a small amount of white sap flowed out...

It should be nutritious... He picked up the lantern and examined it carefully again.

In addition, large amounts of algae grow on many tree branches underwater.

Upon closer inspection at dawn, one can see a school of fish feeding on algae.

Judging from their appearance, they are the same group of will-o'-the-wisps from before!
After Chen Qi plucked away the will-o'-the-wisp oil, the will-o'-the-wisp fish almost lost its ability to prey on other small fish.

Left with no other choice, these poor creatures have to come to this place to eat seaweed and replenish their nutrition.

Chen Qi rubbed his hands together excitedly.

This place is absolutely amazing!
Undoubtedly, this is a natural buffet for marine mammals.

The big tree attracted the small fish, and the small fish in turn attracted the sea creatures.

But the sea creatures attracted him!

The unique terrain results in a far greater number of marine mammals here than in other places.

This is just a natural marine mammal farm!
Chen Qi looked at the will-o'-the-wisps.

As expected, until new will-o'-the-wisp oil grows, the will-o'-the-wisp fish can only stay in this place and eat seaweed.

So every now and then, he would come here regularly to collect the ghost fire oil from the ghost fire fish and make a lot of money.

If he had a net, he might be able to keep the will-o'-the-wisps in this area.

In the future, he could simply dump some weak sea creatures in this place.

"Excellent, excellent, this place is mine now. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The deep-sea spirits nodded in agreement; they all agreed.

Seven votes in favor, and even the leader here, Black Ship Sea Dragon, has no objections!

Chen Qi memorized the location, then looked towards the tree roots at the bottom of the sea.

At the base of the giant white tree, where the black ship sea dragon dwells, lies a shimmering white fruit.

"This is……"

Chen Qi's heart was racing.

His intuition told him that the fruit at the tree root was likely a remarkably powerful and extraordinary material.

The distance was too far for him, and with his current diving skills, it would be quite difficult for him to get it.

"Deep Sea Spirit! Go and get it!"

Chen Qi said.

However, the seven deep-sea spirits paused for a moment, their round blue eyes widening in surprise.

They seemed to be saying, 'What should I do?'

That place we just passed was where the Black Ship Sea Dragon, the overlord of the near seas, lived!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The deep-sea spirit blinked its big blue eyes and pleaded with its master.

No way! (>﹏<)!

They really don't want to do it!

These guys are really good at acting cute... For a moment, Chen Qi actually felt a little reluctant to force them.

At that moment, the black-ship sea dragon, who had been waiting to be fed, looked into Chen Qi's eyes.

The wise creature understood!

Boom!
It instantly dived into the sea, then used its huge mouth to take the fruit, and then swam back up!

The whole movement was as fast as a crazy husky catching a frisbee!

"Hahaha……"

The black-shiped sea dragon swam to the surface, opened its blood-red maw, and then, as if showing off, glared at the deep-sea spirit with its copper bell-like eyes.

On that enormous tongue lay the glowing fruit of the white giant tree.

Chen Qi was startled, then glared at the panicked deep-sea spirit.

Look at this, and see what efficiency really is!
If you won't do it, plenty of sea monsters will!
"Black Ship Sea Dragon, you are truly amazing..." Chen Qi was overjoyed and took the white fruit into his hand.

A very unusual notification popped up in front of me.

Pale Scale Fruit:
Sexual aspect: cup, lamp
Description: A legendary ingredient for extraordinary potions. It cannot be taken directly. When mixed with other medicinal herbs, it can be used to create potions that greatly enhance the body's defense, improve inspiration, and strengthen the constitution.

If taken directly, it can lead to excessive inspiration, a brief period of spiritual madness, and the uncontrollable growth of white scales.

Note: This fruit absorbs the essence of the ocean. Consuming anything made from this fruit grants a physical body capable of defeating sea monsters and the ability to perceive spirits!

Chen Qi clicked his tongue slightly.

He remembered the fruit; it was very famous on the forum.

Ordinary people can achieve physical strength approaching that of extraordinary individuals who have mastered body tempering techniques simply by consuming potions made from this fruit!
In addition, it can greatly enhance inspiration.

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water.

This is undoubtedly the rarest extraordinary material he has encountered so far!

The only drawback is that this extraordinary medicinal herb is too potent and must be mixed with other ingredients to be made into a medicine before it can be taken.

He's taking a bite now, it's no different from eating a poisonous mushroom raw.

"To process this fruit, we need a pharmacist..."

Chen Qi thought to himself.

Ordinary pharmacists simply cannot handle medicinal materials of the caliber of the Pale Scale Fruit.

Only a pharmacist at least at the third-tier Flower Cup stage can process Pale Scale Fruit.

He only knew two people who could make potions: Little Raven and the Flower Witch.

No, with the little crow's skill level, he probably couldn't handle the Pale Scale Fruit!

Only the Flower Witch.

The Flower Witch's third-tier profession is [Pharmacist], and her pharmaceutical skills far surpass those of others.

Their pharmaceutical skills are among the best in the entire Moonstone City! The potions they produce are at least 30% more effective than those of ordinary third-tier pharmacists.

Chen Qi shook his head. The Flower Witch's skills were indeed superb.

But he has no idea where the Flower Witch has gone.

To find the Flower Witch, we probably have to rely on Miracle Reporter Peru.

Of course, Moonstone City is not without other highly skilled apothecaries.

However, the fees charged by a third-tier pharmacist are terrifying to even think about.

Its price is enough to bankrupt an ordinary urban family.

Moreover, not everyone in this world is as kind as the Flower Witch.

Power is the passport to this world.

If the life of a first-tier extraordinary individual with no background were weighed against the Pale Scale Fruit, which can greatly enhance physical strength, the vast majority of extraordinary individuals would choose the Pale Scale Fruit.

Want them to make medicine? You'd be lucky if they didn't turn you into medicine!
Chen Qi accepted the Pale Scale Fruit and placed it at the bottom of his backpack card.

The harvest of Pale Scale Fruit from this voyage is truly a tremendous achievement!
"Hahaha--"

Black Ship Sea Dragon gaped open.

It eagerly awaits the dawn, hoping to reward itself with an extraordinary bait.

"Cough cough..."

"I didn't bring my fishing rod..." Chen Qi coughed twice.

He currently lacks the ability to deconstruct knowledge and has no understanding of the principles behind using extraordinary bait.

Therefore, his extraordinary bait requires a fishing rod to release.

"Don't rush, come with me, little sea dragon..."

Chen Qi used water walking again to walk towards his small houseboat.

And so, the deep-sea dragon followed behind him.

As he walked, he glanced around again.

Besides the ghost fire fish, there are other fish in this area.

There are also two other types of marine mammals:

Bullet squid and black mud.

The Bullet Squid, when on the high seas, uses a 'bullet dash' skill to hunt prey like a bullet.

It has a special oil on its body that can be used to make extraordinary potions that temporarily increase speed, but it is too difficult to obtain and takes too long to use.

Black Mud, just as its name suggests, is a huge piece of black mud. Although it looks weak, it is the most aggressive sea beast in the area.

Especially towards humans, they will climb onto ships and devour all the humans in sight.

Unfortunately, this sea creature was of almost no value.

The most valuable one is still the will-o'-the-wisp fish!

The materials are easy to obtain, and it has a mild temperament.

One ghost fire fish is worth eight thousand shell coins!
Chen Qi thought for a moment and realized that the more ghost fire fish he got, the more ghost fire fish would approach the White Tree Land.

The more ghost fire fish approach the White Tree Land, the more ghost fire oil he will have.

Upon arriving at the small houseboat, he took out his fishing rod, conjured two extraordinary baits, and fed them to the black ship sea dragon.

Black Ship Sea Dragon happily circled around him a few times before going back to sleep.

He has been in dangerous waters for some time now.

Before dawn, Chen Qi got another bucket of ghost fire oil, and also caught ten moonfish and a little bit of bullet squid ingredients.

Busy times always pass quickly; before you know it, the sun is blazing, shining on the sea before your eyes.

The sunlight shone on Chen Qi's back, as if it were coated with golden glaze.

It's time to return... Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his brow and steered the small houseboat back onto its normal course.

At that moment, the fleet of ships in the distance gradually approached.

The fishermen, who had been busy all night, beamed with smiles as they raised their glasses on the boat to celebrate their luck and their catch.

That night, apart from the fog from the previous night, they encountered neither the ferocious black mud nor the terrifying ghost fire fish!
Returning home with a full load and no casualties—nothing could be more celebratory.

My haul was also considerable... Chen Qi adjusted the direction of the small houseboat and followed behind the fleet, heading towards Moonstone City.

After selling the Ghostfire Oil, he had money to upgrade his equipment.

An hour later, the bustling port came into view.

Chen Qi steered his small houseboat closer to his familiar mooring spot.

However, at that moment, he discovered someone he recognized on the shore.

The old man at the newsstand gave him the information.

The old man at the newsstand frowned and made a "shh" gesture amidst the crowd.

Is this telling me not to talk too much? Why are you here? Chen Qi tilted his head in confusion.

The old man at the newsstand frowned, but didn't say much.

At that moment, a crew-cut man wearing a light blue uniform and a beret walked toward Chenqi's small houseboat, holding an iron rod.

Judging from their attire, they are port police officers, responsible for maintaining order at the port!
The storm badge on his chest is a symbol of power and force.

They are also the kind of people that many ordinary fishermen least want to deal with!

Being targeted by the Moonstone City police is a rather troublesome matter.

Looking for me? Chen Qi stroked his chin and looked at the other person.

The port policeman, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and a scar over his left eye, gave off an unusually fierce aura.

He walked up to Chen Qi, took out his identification, and said coldly:

"You killed someone? Do you know that?"

Thank you so much, Mor for the 100 coins!! And thank you everyone for reading, voting, and recommending! Thank you so much! Thanks (ω)!
My drafts are all gone, so I've been updating a bit later lately. I need to hurry up and get some more drafts ready.
