Chapter 44: The Soul-Absorbing Sacred Fish!
After bidding farewell to Wu Yunliang, on his way back to Zizhuyuan, Meng Haoran fell silent again.
Chu Yang knew that Meng Chaoran was worried about him, but he didn't know how to alleviate it. He wanted to say something, but felt that no matter what he said, it would be so pale and powerless, and couldn't dispel Meng Chaoran's worries at all, so he just kept his mouth shut.
Just as I walked to the entrance of Zizhuyuan, I heard a loud shout with great penetrating power coming from inside: "Don't run! If you run again, I'll stew you into soup!"
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Rushing in, they saw Tan Tang with his butt up by the pool, splashing water everywhere. Then he let out a whoop and jumped up, holding a fish aloft. He held it above his head, laughing loudly, overjoyed.
Meng Chaoran was taken aback and suddenly rushed up.
Chu Yang was also shocked! He didn't expect Tan Tang to actually catch this good thing!
This is a strange fish, all black, no scales, and the head is actually round, without eyes. It's actually a blind fish! Not big in size, looks like it weighs less than half a catty.
"Let go of it." Meng Chaoran's voice was urgent: "Don't kill him!"
Tan Tang's face was filled with confusion as he turned his head back, but then he excitedly shouted: "Master, Chu Yang, look! I caught a strange fish!" Just as he said that, the fish suddenly struggled and managed to break free from his hands, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air before falling back into the water.
Meng Chaoran was quick and agile, suddenly jumping out, before the fish fell back into the water, he grabbed it with one hand. Then directly flipped back, his hands already holding a basin of water, almost without stopping again to return to the pool, scooped up half a basin of water, and put the fish in.
Then he wiped the water droplets on his face, smiled and handed the water basin to Tan Tang: "Put it in your room, take good care of it. This fish is very precious, don't raise it to death."
"Master, what kind of fish is this? It's so small... it's not even enough for a soup."
"Make soup?! You only know how to eat!" Meng Chaoran patted his head with a mix of anger and amusement, scolding: "This is a priceless treasure! Wouldn't it be a waste if you ate it?"
"A priceless treasure?" Tan Tang touched his head, curiously looking at the fish. Looking left and right, it's just a fish after all. Even if it looks a bit strange, it's not a dragon or anything...
"This is a Soul-Absorbing Sacred Fish." Chu Yang also squatted down, looking at the fish: "Unexpectedly, Tan Tong actually found such a treasure! His luck was indeed not bad."
"Soul Devouring Sacred Fish?"
"Not bad, the Soul Devouring Sacred Fish, according to ancient legend, is a treasure of the Three Star Sacred Clan. This fish doesn't grow big, its meat isn't delicious, and it doesn't have any powerful skills either. However, if you put this fish in an aquarium and raise it in your own home, it can absorb the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to the greatest extent and gather it here! For a warrior's cultivation, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort! It can be said that it is a treasure that warriors dream of!"
Chu Yang said softly.
"Not bad, and there's another biggest benefit, with this fish around, the heaven and earth spiritual energy absorbed from all directions are all pure heaven and earth spiritual energy. This is the most precious thing. The existence of this fish has become a legend, for many years it only existed in books, no one has ever seen it. Tan Tang, how did you discover it?" Meng Chaoran looked at Tan Tang with surprise and delight.
"It was just now. I was fetching water by the pool, and suddenly the whole sky turned black, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers in front of me. I was very scared, and didn't dare move from the pool for half an hour, until the sky brightened up again. Then I saw the mud under the pool constantly churning, as if something wanted to come out. And then I kept watching...". Tan Lang spread his hands: "And then this thing came out of the ground...I thought it looked strange, so I caught it."
"The sky suddenly turned black?" Meng Chaoran furrowed his brow. When the heavenly change occurred, he and Wu Yunliang were both in the stone room and didn't know about it. At this moment, after hearing Tan Tang mention it, he suddenly felt that something was off.
"It's been half a time since the sky turned dark? Then this fish came out of the ground?" Meng Chaoran looked up at the sky, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "Things from the Holy Clan haven't appeared in this world for a long time. Why did the Soul-Sucking Sacred Fish suddenly appear? It was just morning, and then the sky suddenly turned dark, why is that?"
"Could it be that today will not turn out as expected?" Meng Chao Ran thought bitterly. After a while, he finally gave up, but judging from his eyebrows, it seemed like he had added another worry to his mind.
Chu Yang was also bewildered, blinking his eyes. He too didn't know that after fusing with the tip of the Nine Tribulations Sword, such an earth-shattering feat would occur.
"Tan Tang, since you discovered this fish, why don't you make a fish tank and raise it in your own room?" Meng Chaoran's expression returned to calm.
"Yes, Master. I'll share a room with Chuyang; that way, we can both make use of it, haha." Tan Tang laughed happily.
"From today on, Chuyang will sleep separately from you!" Meng Chaoran's face sank.
"Why?" Tan Lang cried out in despair.
"No reason why, Chuyang still has other important things."
"That... let's put this fish in Chu Yang's room then." Tan Tang said with a sorrowful face, extremely reluctant: "Although I also need it very much, but Chu Yang is about to go out and carry out a dangerous mission, he needs it more than me. Even if it can only increase a little bit, it's still good. Hmm, it's best that Chu Yang brings it with him when he goes out, then he can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at any time."
Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat as he turned his head to look at Tan Tang, feeling a surge of warmth in his chest. He was speechless for a long time.
The benefits of the Soul Devouring Sacred Fish, Meng Chaoran has already explained very clearly. Tan Tang may be a bit out of tune, but he's not an idiot. He wouldn't fail to understand. Yet, such a priceless treasure, he actually didn't even think about monopolizing it! Moreover, without even batting an eyelid, he wants to give it away to himself!
Although he was reluctant to part with it, he still had to give it to himself!
"Why?" Meng Chaoran's eyes were filled with delight.
"I'm here, by Master's side, and there's no danger. " Tan Tang said seriously: "Chu Yang needs it more than I do."
"Stupid kid." Meng Chaoran stretched out his hand and rubbed Tan Tang's head, saying: "If you want to protect Chu Yang, first improve your own strength. When your brother needs your help, you can exert the greatest effort. Chu Yang going out with this thing will only bring about disaster. Do you understand?"
Tan Tang suddenly opened his mouth and hastily said: "That... that's still left behind." As he spoke, he looked at Chu Yang with some embarrassment: "Chu Yang, I... I'm not stingy and won't give it to you; this is just..."
"I understand." Chu Yang hugged his shoulders and said deeply: "Good brother!"
"Tan Tang, how did you know I was going out?" Chu Yang asked.
"These past few days, you've been making preparations without telling me; I'm not stupid... We've been together for over a decade, and generally, anything you don't let me know about is bound to be very dangerous." Tan Dong hummed: "And these past few days, Master has obviously been spending more time with you. If I still didn't know, then I'd really become an idiot."
Chu Yang burst out laughing.
Tan Tang hummed and suddenly said seriously: "Chu Yang, I don't know where you're going; but I will definitely practice hard and come to help you in the future."
"Alright! I'm waiting for you. At that time, let's unite as brothers and turn the world around!" Chu Yang was filled with great passion and let out a loud whoop. He felt a surge of unwavering confidence rise up in his heart.
Having such a good brother, how can I not work hard? It must be known that this reversal is going to change Tanlang's fate together!
Such a brother, how can I bear to let him die?!
