Chapter 6081: Someone Suitable

Chu Feng grew up in the Chu Clan.

Other than his brother and his godfather, most people in the Chu Clan viewed him with enmity. That was why he cherished his friends and would go all out for them when they were in danger.

However, he would never demand his friends to sacrifice themselves for him, which was why he didn’t want Bai Yunqing to stay with him. He thought that it would be for the best if Bai Yunqing became Ouyang Kongyu’s disciple.

So, Chu Feng bade his farewell and returned to the Totem Dragon Galaxy with Wang Qiang.

It was good news for him that his grandmother was the one who ruined the Pill Dao Immortal Sect, so he thought that he should relay it to Lord Yuwei.

After Chu Feng and Wang Qiang left, Ouyang Kongyu started imparting his means to Bai Yunqing.

His method of impartation was peculiar. Rather than teaching Bai Yunqing how to cultivate, he brought him to an underground cavern.

In the underground cavern was a massive formation that absorbed and condensed the realm’s essence into a vast lake. Countless peculiar fishes could be seen inside the clear lake water.

These fishes were shaped like needles. They didn’t have eyes, but they had scales and gills. For some reason, they remained still inside the lake, so much so that one would have thought that they were dead if not for the slight movements of their gills.

Shoosh!

With a wave of his sleeves, Ouyang Kongyu tossed a palm-sized formation sphere into the sky. The formation shattered, and a ten-thousand-meter ferocious beast dropped into the lake.

The unique fishes inside the lake awakened and dove at the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast was by no means weak, and it was wearing thick armor too. Yet, it felt as brittle as a slab of tofu before the fish’s onslaught. The fishes swiftly devoured the ferocious beast and its blood clean, as if the latter had never appeared before.

Bai Yunqing was horrified.

The ferocious beast was far stronger than him, yet the fishes subjugated it so easily. He hadn’t thought that the fish would be this strong.

“Yunqing, can tell you the origin of the fishes?” Ouyang Kongyu asked.

“These fishes are from the present era, but they have been refined by the formation.” Bai Yunqing had never seen these fishes before, but he could make some deductions with his discerning eyes as a world spiritist.

“Indeed, but the main use of these fishes is to refine as well. I have prepared them for you.”

Bai Yunqing couldn’t remain calm after hearing Ouyang Kongyu’s words. He tried his best to conceal his anxiety as he asked with a bitter smile, “Master, do you want me to enter the lake?”

The ferocious beast was swiftly ripped apart despite being stronger than him; he would be courting his doom if he entered the lake.

“Don’t worry, I’ll restrict their strength with a formation until you adapt,” Ouyang Kongyu said.

“Master, I don’t understand. What’s the purpose of this refinement?”

“Your body and soul need to be sufficiently strong to receive my legacy. This formation will help you reach the minimum requirement.”

Bai Yunqing fell silent.

“Yunqing, I have heard about what you have gone through from young friend Chu Feng. I promise you that I won’t do anything that harms you. I have been looking for a suitable disciple, and I have made many preparations in the meantime.

“But it’s not easy to come by the right person, and I have already mentally prepared myself for the possibility that I might never find a successor. It was a pleasant surprise to have met you,” Ouyang Kongyu said with a relieved smile.

But Bai Yunqing was still frightened. The trauma he had suffered from Taishi Xingzhong was not so mild that it could be overcome with just a couple of words.

Sensing Bai Yunqing’s hesitation, Ouyang Kongyu said, “I don’t deny that there’s a risk. If you don’t trust me, we can pretend that this has never happened.”

However, Bai Yunqing said, “Master, I want to give it a try.”

Ouyang Kongyu was surprised. He hadn’t expected Bai Yunqing to accept so readily when he was so frightened. He replied with a nod, “All right, let’s give it a try.”

So, he channeled the formation, and runes fell from the ceiling into the formation. These runes appeared to have some kind of binding effect on the fish.

“Yunqing, I have minimized the formation’s energy, but it’ll still be extremely painful. You have to bear with it. The refinement will not work if it’s not painful at all,” Ouyang Kongyu replied.

Bai Yunqing stepped into the lake.

The fishes rushed at Bai Yunqing and attacked him, just like what they had done with the ferocious beast earlier. Bai Yunqing screamed from the excruciating pain and soon passed out, but the fishes’ attack didn’t stop.

At this rate, Bai Yunqing would die.

Thus, Ouyang Kongyu hurriedly fished the unconscious Bai Yunqing out of the lake.

He proceeded to take out a huge pot of weirdly-shaped herbs soaked in water. He placed Bai Yunqing into the pot before lighting a fire beneath. Soon, the water started to boil.

It looked like Bai Yunqing was being cooked.

Soon, the medicine started seeping into Bai Yunqing’s body.

Ouyang Kongyu took a dagger, slit his wrist, and dripped a huge amount of blood into the pot. His blood fused with the medicine and seeped into Bai Yunqing’s body too.

The unconscious Bai Yunqing started to convulse as if it was rejecting the medicine.

Ouyang Kongyu frowned in nervousness. Only when Bai Yunqing’s convulsions slowly died down did he reveal a relieved smile.

“I might have missed Chu Feng, but at least I found someone suitable.”
