Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 146 The Source of Fish's Spiritual Energy
In the chilly night wind, giant black clouds drifted with the wind.

Inside the giant cloud.

Wu Yun sat on the bed, covered with a down comforter, watching the news on TV.

Inside the blanket, a dozen mink employees poked their heads out, watching with their boss.

But the news footage showed the White Cloud Warrior striking a wild immortal official to death with a bolt of lightning!

"...According to the investigation, the two are fugitive criminal suspects wanted for murder. They deliberately altered their physical appearance through illegal means and fled to Donghu City..."

Wu Yun was deeply moved.

"I wonder who exactly made the move, but they were pretty fierce."

Throughout the afternoon, several bolts of lightning struck Donghu from the clear sky, killing several wild celestial officials. Each time, it was the White Cloud Armored Warriors who made the move, and each time it had absolutely nothing to do with Wu Yun...

Even at that moment, Wu Yun looked up and saw a cloud in the distant night sky suddenly turn silver, and lightning struck down from the cloud, crashing to the ground!
"Holy crap, did we run into a tough opponent? They've unleashed their ultimate move!?"

Turn off the TV.

Wu Yun saw through the dark clouds at a glance, looked at the ground, and confirmed that he didn't need to take any action at all. In just one day, this mysterious Thunder Pool Immortal Official had already extinguished the arrogance of the villains!
"Okay, today's work went smoothly."

"We studied the daily performance of some spiritual energy arrays."

"We also successfully created three super-speed fish balls and two bottomless black hole balls."

"Everyone, take a rest."

Wu Yun lay down, letting the dozen or so mink employees crawl around in the blankets, each finding their own spot.

I had some doubts.

"Logically speaking, with so many fish dying at sea, shouldn't the fish have a lot of spiritual energy?"
"But why did the great formation barely detect anything?"

"We'll have to investigate this properly tomorrow."

……

Donghu City Guesthouse.

In the two-person room, the two doctoral students lay on their beds, each scrolling through their phones.

One of them was Liu Jinyuan, a celestial official of the Liu family and a student of Teacher Wu.

Lying in bed, he felt slightly depressed.

"Sigh, this guesthouse in Donghu City isn't very good."

"The pillow is still a bit damp, it's not very comfortable."

"They actually gave us standard rooms; the level of hospitality is really low."

Another doctoral student scoffed.

"They invited Teacher Wu."

"We students are just working for Professor Wu, what kind of high-class treatment do we want?"

Hearing these words, Liu Jinyuan became even more depressed.

Having traveled all the way to East Lake, the food and accommodation were just average, and no leaders came to accompany them. He felt increasingly neglected and ignored.

Suddenly, his head felt dizzy and he was in a daze. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in the study of the Liu family patriarch.

There was a solitary lamp on the table.

Outside the window, a chilling wind and bitter rain raged.

The head of the family, Liu Sangtian, sat behind the table, his face illuminated by the solitary lamp, and seemed quite excited.

"You went to East Lake?"

Liu Jinyuan nodded.

"Yes, I heard recently that there might be a terrorist attack at East Lake, and Teacher Wu went to provide support..."

Liu Sangtian nodded.

"very good.

"Lord Hu, you will likely be doing some things at East Lake soon."

"If there is an opportunity to make a contribution, I will let you know, and you must seize it."

Liu Jinyuan frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

"But... Hu Zongche... wasn't he supposed to become a fugitive?"

Liu Sangtian smiled and shook his head.

"That's how the game between the immortal lords goes. Sometimes the east wind prevails over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind prevails over the east wind."

"Our Liu family and their Hu family are nothing more than pawns of the celestial lords. The Hu family's confiscation was due to a celestial lord in heaven making a wrong move and losing."

"But the game of chess is not over yet."

"Hu Zongche is willing to be the Immortal Lord's vanguard and help the Immortal Lord do great things."

"If we can lend a hand, the Immortal Lord will take notice."

Liu Jinyuan listened and pondered at the same time.

But then the head of the household took out a bronze fish.

"Now that you've arrived at East Lake, there's another great opportunity that I only learned about by chance."

“Take this fish to Shenzhou and give it to Wu Jun.”

Liu Jinyuan accepted the bronze fish.

"what is this?"

"This is a ninth-rank official position under the jurisdiction of the City God of Liu County, named [Water Plague Patrol Envoy]."

……

"The Water Plague Inspector?"

In the toilet of a standard room.

Liu Jinyuan sat on the toilet and saw Wu Jun kneeling in front of him, accepting the bronze fish with both hands. He felt secretly pleased... Being worshipped by others, this is the life a young master should live!
"That's right.

"Large-scale fish deaths frequently occur in the waters of Liu County. The duty of the Water Plague Patrol Officer is to inspect the waters and then use this bronze fish to cleanse the waters of death and plague..."

As Liu Jinyuan spoke, he took out the list of celestial officials of the Red County, found the page for "Water Plague Inspector", and added Wu Jun's name... That's right, Liu Jinyuan, a doctoral student in the mortal world, is now the City God of Liu County in the celestial realm!
Seeing Wu Jun moved to tears and sincerely kowtow, he felt even happier!

"Okay, there's one more secret I have to tell you."

Liu Jinyuan glanced at the toilet wall subconsciously and saw that the wall, door gaps, vents, and drains were all sealed with talismans to ensure safety.

"Three hundred miles east of East Lake, there is a whirlpool."

"Don't worry about how that vortex came about. It's too complicated; we don't even know the answer."

"All you need to know is that a huge number of fish die in the whirlpool every day."

"Go out to sea, take this bronze fish to the seawater below the whirlpool, and absorb the sickness, plague, and death energy... Those fish were all killed by the whirlpool, so there is no sickness or plague energy there. All you can absorb is spiritual energy!"

Wu Jun knelt on the cold, hard ground, his eyes wide open!

Reiki?

What does spiritual energy mean?
It means immortal peach!

What does the peach symbolize?
It signifies spiritual attainment!

"According to the laws of the Celestial Dynasty, the spiritual energy collected by the Water Plague Patrol Envoy must also be returned to the Star Palace."

"But now, as you know, the spiritual energy we've collected..."

Liu Jinyuan's excited eyes met Wu Jun's excited eyes.

"...They're all ours!"

……

The moonlight shone down.

The sea surface is sparkling.

whoosh...

A cloud flew in from afar, and Wu Jun sat cross-legged on it, looking excited!
He couldn't wait until dawn, so he flew over directly!

Even from a great distance, one could see the vortex that Liu Jinyuan had described, with scarlet blood energy soaring into the sky, looking both alluring and sinister under the moonlight!
He dared not get any closer, so from a distance, he lowered his flight altitude and threw the bronze fish in his arms into the water.

He then closed his eyes, switched to the copper fish's perspective, and began to prepare to collect spiritual energy!
The light beneath the sea was dim, and the bronze fish moved swiftly forward, getting closer and closer to the whirlpool!
Before long, a wisp of spiritual energy was indeed detected, slowly approaching it!
Wu Jun was beaming with excitement!

Who would have thought that a mere Celestial Official like him would have a way to collect spiritual energy?
Young Master Liu wrote his name in the register, and he gained the ability to collect spiritual energy...

The patriarch casually revealed a little information, and he found the location of the source of the spiritual energy...

This is so cool!
What good would kneeling before the young master of the Liu family do?

This was definitely worth it, well worth the price!
However, the next moment...

when……

Beneath the surface of the sea, his bronze fish was violently knocked away!

There was actually a second bronze fish that knocked his bronze fish away and then devoured that wisp of spiritual energy!
