From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 14 It's a little different from what I imagined
You Ming was floating above the ink-like lake water, his eyes calm.

He already knew the rules of the [Canglang Small Spiritual Realm].

In the Small Spirit Realm, a thing called Xuanling will be born continuously. It can basically be understood as a wild monster in the dungeon. After killing the Xuanling, it will drop the "Essence of Xuanshui".

Of course, because there will be many people participating in the small spiritual realm at the same time, in addition to defeating the mysterious spirit, you also have to guard against other people stealing your spoils.

Since no one can die here, the fighting is foreseeable to be extremely fierce, which seems to be what Shinto wants. To encourage everyone to fight, a ranking list has even been established, with extra rewards for those who rank high.

There is nothing fun to do in the Shinto for a long time. The only entertainment is to watch these hypocritical cultivators fighting each other for the slightest profit.

However, You Ming participated in the Small Spiritual Realm in order to obtain enough essence of the Mysterious Water, and he didn't care about any extra rewards.

So he made up his mind to survive this time and try not to cause any trouble.

Just as he was thinking, the water beneath him began to ripple, and a group of water men with a faint ink color crawled out from the water.

These water people are Xuanling. Each of them has a sturdy body and only a rough human shape, without details such as facial features.

The three-headed mysterious spirit closest to You Ming sensed his presence, and the water beneath it rolled, pushing its bloated body forward and attacking him directly.

"Ten-direction strangulation!"

The little carp just had a thought and recited the mantra secretly.

In an instant, streams of water rose and condensed out of thin air, like nimble pythons, shrinking and stretching, and then wrapped around the bodies of the three mysterious spirits.

The three mysterious spirits immediately began to struggle. They were quite strong, and the tightening water flow was trembling violently, as if it was about to break free at any time.

"The tide breaks the waves!"

Water vapor filled the little carp's body, and in an instant, a column of water emerged from the void and crashed forward.

The water column was so fast and fierce that it directly blew apart the body of a mysterious spirit.

Then the little carp used "Surge and Waves" twice in succession, quickly blasting away all three mysterious spirits.

Three streams of blue-purple smoke suddenly flew out from the exploded bodies of the Xuanlings and landed on the little carp.

This means that he has obtained the essence of three mysterious waters.

You Ming took a deep breath. In less than a cup of tea, he cast four spells in one breath. The magic power in his body dropped by about one tenth in an instant. At the same time, his meridians swelled slightly. To cast spells of such high intensity, his body had to be strengthened several times to withstand it.

The next moment, he flicked the compass and used [Mana Gain] to replenish the mana he had just consumed.

The moist and abundant magical power flows through the body, calming the shaking body.

However, when turning the compass, the little carp suddenly had an idea.

He turned the compass again and entered: "Ren Hai 91385724."

This string of cheat codes was the [Gift of Destiny] he had just figured out, which could increase the chance of enemies dropping rare items, and the effect lasted for three days.

No matter how useful it is, it is always beneficial to have an extra layer of buff.

"What? This carp is so powerful?"

In a place that the little carp could not see, an illusory list was floating. After he killed the three mysterious spirits, his name jumped directly to the first place.

The Night Wanderer, who had been leisurely eating a pear, suddenly had his eyes widened. These Mystical Spirits were generally at the level of "Awakening." Even if the three Mystical Spirits just now were just ordinary ones, the fact that this little carp could kill them in such a short time was enough to demonstrate its strength.

"Oh no! I hope nothing unexpected will happen with my bet."

"It shouldn't happen. This is just the beginning, and the others haven't started to exert their strength yet. Besides, most of the other cultivators came with companions, and Little Carp is alone. He has accumulated a lot of Xuanling Essence, so he will definitely be surrounded and killed."

The Night Wanderer comforted himself in his heart, but at this moment he had sat up straight, his eyes staring straight at the small spiritual realm.

"Om."

The little carp moved, and mist filled the surrounding area. His body turned into countless illusory shadows, which swam quickly among the mist, making it impossible to discern his true whereabouts.

He dodged quickly in places where Xuan Ling was concentrated.

Only when those mysterious spirits were alone, or there were only three or five of them, would he cast a spell, first controlling them with [Ten Directions Strangulation], and then killing them one by one with [Surge and Breaking Waves].

Actual combat is indeed different from practicing at home.

With his mind highly concentrated, his proficiency in the three techniques increased dramatically.

His ranking on the list also increased.

The list showed that within less than an hour of entering the venue, he had already killed twenty-seven mysterious spirits, not only ranking first but also far ahead.

Only the second one killed five mysterious spirits.

Well, the second place is Li Zhengyuan, the one that Night Wanderer bet on.

"Does it have to be so outrageous? Could this kid have broken through to the Xuanguang realm?"

The Night Wanderer was about to vomit blood. The little carp that looked harmless was actually extremely powerful in fighting. This strength was totally unscientific.

Compared to the Night Walker who was shocked by You Ming's strength, some bigwigs sitting behind the curtain first noticed the little carp's "trophy".

This little carp not only has superb magic skills, but also has harvested more mysterious water essence than anyone else in both quantity and quality.

Normally, after a Xuanling is killed, one or more low-grade Xuanshui essences will appear, but there is also a certain probability that medium-grade or even high-grade Xuanshui essences will appear.

The little carp killed twenty-seven Xuan spirits, but it had already harvested forty-two low-grade Xuan water essences, five medium-grade Xuan water essences, and two high-grade Xuan water essences.

This shows what?
This shows that this carp has better luck than others.

In the eyes of those bigwigs, strength is a temporary matter, and luck is what is crucial.

I've heard that the immortals have begun to spread rumors, saying that a great disaster is coming, and that the "Five Clouds, Four Heroes, and Three Heroes" of the immortals will be the protagonists of this disaster. In addition, countless other influential figures will participate in this great struggle.

Otherwise, why would Lord Qinglian personally take action this year? Wasn't it just to find some people with great luck and borrow the luck of these geniuses to avoid the disaster?

"This [Gift of Destiny] is really useful. The drop rate has increased significantly."

The little carp naturally didn't know about these things; he was still gloating over his own gains. The higher the quality of the Mysterious Water Essence, the more powerful the Mysterious Light he condensed.

However, because he couldn't see the list at the moment, he didn't know that he was ranked first, and he didn't know that many people had their eyes on him.
