Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Chapter 115: Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Bei Feng collected his new clothes from the washing line and got ready for a bath.

His body had undergone quite a large change within the short span of a few days. His skinny frame had already disappeared, replaced by a body that, in the eyes of normal people, was one of perfection.

His height was only around 1.8 meters, and this was also an effect of incredible will on his part.

He had a very plain and ordinary face, but when framed against his deep and charming eyes, Bei Feng's appearance was one that was rather unforgettable.

It was late in the night and the yard was bathed in the gentle glow of the moonlight. Bei Feng appeared next to the ancient well and took out his White Jade Fishing Rod.

Using a piece of Variant Giant Salamander meat as bait, he casted the line into the well.

Actually, Bei Feng also had little choice of baits. It was unknown how many worlds or levels the System extended to, but he knew that the variety of species within the Myriad Worlds was incredibly numerous!

Each species definitely had their own habits and food preferences, and could not all be caught with just a single type of bait. This was also the reason Bei Feng came up empty-handed quite often.

Since he didn't have the skills of a master fisherman and his targets would not willingly fall into the snare, he had to at least do the preparation work well. Although it was only a bit of meat the size of a thumb, it should at least raise his chances of catching something good by a little.

Deep within a certain world, there was an expansive mountain range, its numerous peaks visible for tens of thousands of meters away. Tall, ancient trees thousands of years old surrounded the mountain range, towering into the skies!

In the heart of the mountain range was an immense mountain which had stood for an uncountable number of years; it was so tall that its peak pierced through the clouds!

From time to time, all kinds of strange flying vessels and flying beasts used as mounts could be seen, circling the air, rising and descending from the clouds! This mountain was the headquarters of a sect known as Green Sky Sect, and this impressive mountain range which extended for tens of thousands of li was its territory!

At the foot of the towering mountain was a majestic, imposing city. This ancient city which seemed to contain a great amount of history spread across a huge area of flat land. Just the sight of this city could steal one's mind and attention with its grandiosity.

"You piece of trash, it's been three years since your dantian had been destroyed, and you still dare to harbor hopes? Hey, great genius, if I were you, I would have already left long ago in shame! But you actually still have the face to remain on the mountain?!"

A white-robed youth stood in the center of the public square within the miscellaneous disciples' area, mocking a skinny youth aloud in a proud voice.

The youth who was being scolded so fiercely was dressed in gray tatters which seemed to not have been washed for an exceedingly long time. He didn't reply to the mocking words of the white embroidered robes youth, choosing to endure the abuse quietly. Only his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed his turbulent emotions.

Peng Peng dug his fingernails deeper into his fists and swore viciously in his heart that one day, he would definitely make those who laughed at him regret it!

Three years ago, Peng Peng entered the Green Sky Sect's outer court as the number one genius. But because he had offended a vicious person, his dantian ended up being smashed apart. These three years, no matter what methods he tried, he was unable to absorb even a single strand of Qi into his body!

Those so-called friends and followers who were always hanging around him disappeared extremely quickly, even turning to scoff and jeer at him. It was as if they were trying to regain the dignity they had thrown away after following behind and licking his boots for so many years.

These people did not even stop to consider how Peng Peng had taken care of them in return for following him.

Facing the quiet Peng Peng who had his head lowered, the white-robed youth began to lose interest in him. "Your task this time is to feed the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas. You better do it carefully, each of those fishes are many times more precious than you!"

After saying that, the white-robed youth left under the envious gazes of the miscellaneous disciples.

Although the miscellaneous disciples had the name of a disciple, they were in fact only glorified servants of the Green Sky Sect.

For such a large sect, there were naturally numerous menial tasks which required lots of people to handle. But one can't possibly expect the heavenly privileged official disciples to do things like cooking and laundry, right? Thus the need for the miscellaneous disciples.

Most of the miscellaneous disciples were orphans who had been brought into the sect. The rest were people without any talent for cultivation but unwilling to give up. These people would rather work hard as a miscellaneous disciple and seek their own chances in the sect than be a regular person.

Peng Peng packed his stuff and headed towards the animal pen.

A few massive white cranes waddled leisurely about, their beaks held high. They would not even bother to flinch when a human approached, only lifting their eyes to look at the human with disdain before carrying on with their business.

This area was one of the breeding pens in the Green Sky Sect. It housed all the more gentle-natured beasts, and most of them were free to roam about as they pleased within this area. The fiercer beasts were all kept in a specialized area deeper in the sect.

Peng Peng proceeded to the management office and drew out a portion of Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana feed. This fish feed had been specially created after much effort and research. This was the most suitable and nutritious food for the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana.

The mountain was not cold at this time of the year, and could even be said to be rather hot, but Peng Peng had quite a few layers of clothes on, as if he was preparing to endure a harsh winter.

Feeding the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas was a task which most miscellaneous disciples considered as an exceptionally difficult task.

However, the compensation they received for doing that task was very high as well. Every time they fed the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana, they could receive half a spirit stone. Even so, not many people were willing to do it.

Peng Peng lugged a huge sack filled with over 300 jin of Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana feed behind him as he headed towards a wide-walled slope.

This slope was extremely steep and had a drastic drop on the side away from the wall. Along the wall, there was a small winding path for people to walk upon. Every 50 meters, there was an illumination stone to show the way. But even with the light from the illumination stones, Peng Peng was unable to see to the bottom of the slope with his eyesight.

The further down he walked, the tougher the path became to traverse. If one was not careful, they could fall off the side of the path very easily.

Furthermore, the temperature dropped sharply the deeper one went. Thin layers of ice also began to show on the rough steps at this point, making it even harder to maintain one's balance.

Waves of chilly air assaulted Peng Peng as he descended, sapping away at his body's heat steadily.

After some time, the path began to widen out and the mouth of an incomparably large cave appeared before his eyes. Layers of thick ice lined the walls of the cave, never to melt for thousands of years!

Peng Peng was wrapped up like a fat penguin, but he still could not stop himself from shivering violently. But he had no other choice. Considering his current level, if he wore even one more layer of clothes, the chances of him losing his balance and falling off the sides of the slope would increase by two times!

Peng Peng did not dare to bet his life for a bit of warmth. Hefting the sack of feed onto his shoulders, he trudged determinedly into the cave. The deeper he went, the wider the cave became; the temperature also dropped steadily with his every step.

Finally, a frigid spring lake over 100 meter in diameter appeared before him. If one thought about it, this lake should have frozen into a huge chunk of ice long ago with the temperature in this cave. However, oddly enough, it was smooth and clear, as though the cold temperature had no effect on its state.

Peng Peng knew for a fact that although this lake was in a liquid state, it was actually even colder than the temperature in the cave! There was once an idiot disciple who stuck his hand into the lake because he was curious about the temperature of the water.

It was only for three seconds, but when the idiot disciple pulled his hand out, it had solidified and very quickly shattered, turning into countless meat crystals which fell onto the ground!

The frigid spring lake was exceptionally clear and beautiful, with a strange viscous quality to it. It was so deep that one could not even see the bottom of the lake!

"Splash!"

Peng Peng worked quickly, opening the sack and grabbing the thumb-sized arowana feed in handfuls, scattering them across the lake. Numerous small ripples spread out across the otherwise calm lake as the food landed.

Within a few seconds, movement could be seen beneath the water as numerous Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas, each about one meter long, appeared.

The Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas were each as white as snow, without the slightest blemish. Their bodies were slim and long, their heads large and ferocious. Two long jade-white whiskers floated gently beside their mouths, giving them a demeanor like that of the fabled dragons, swimming in the clouds. Of course, these fishes only looked impressive. They still lacked the aura of an actual legendary creature.

The Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas appeared one after another, snapping at the feed greedily. In the world outside, a single Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana was worth thousands of spirit stones. Furthermore, there was only demand but no stock. Yet, there were so many Frigid Snowy Ice Arowanas in this lake that it was impossible to count at a glance!
