This Female Celebrity Comes from the Cultivation World

Chapter 88

The road ahead was rather narrow, the car could not get through, so Song Jixing got out of the car and walked.

The moonlight tonight was very beautiful, strands of silver brilliance spread across the quiet earth.

The calm moonlight was reflected on the surface of the water, looking extremely beautiful.

Song Jixing spread her spiritual sense to the bottom of the reservoir to clearly see what was underwater: a big fish.

Song Jixing was not very sure what kind of fish it was. The fish she usually came into contact with were sliced and cooked in a pan.

The fish at the bottom of the reservoir was already as big as a grown bull, flapping its tail as it swam not far from the surface. Its dull fish eyes were fixed motionless towards a certain direction of the surface.

It was very obvious that it was looking at where Song Jixing was standing.

But it may not necessarily know that Song Jixing was watching it.

Song Jixing roughly surveyed the cultivation level of this fish. According to their standards, it should be at the second layer of Energy Refining Stage, which could be considered a genius existence in terms of human cultivation speed.

All roads lead to Rome. Some are born already in Rome. Like this fish, it was born on a Spirit Stone vein that was in the process of forming. It’s not easy to find a few spirit creatures in the cultivation world that get this kind of treatment.

After spreading her spiritual sense to cover the entire bottom of the reservoir, Song Jixing saw more things.

At that moment, the bottom of the reservoir was very quiet. There were no other fish swimming about, she didn't see many shrimps or crabs either. It seems like they had all been eaten by the big guy in the water.

Near the bottom, there was a small hole glinting with light. A large amount of spiritual energy gushed out from that hole.

Looking further down, there was a small Spirit Stone vein that was still growing.

What a pity she had no use for the nice Spirit Stone.

Song Jixing withdrew her spiritual sense from the Spirit Stone vein, then carefully searched the bottom of the reservoir again. She discovered remnants of artificially synthesized substances mixed in the fish’s excrement.

The criminal evidence had been found, the motive for the crime had also been found.

Now it was time to take action.

Song Jixing swiftly formed a series of hand seals, and a round, flowing golden needle technique constantly took shape in her hand. The completed spell formation gushed out, flying above the center of the reservoir. It continued expanding until it was about the size of the entire reservoir surface, then sank into the water, attaching itself to the shimmering water surface.

Song Jixing set up a Spirit Barrier to ensure this fish could no longer harm people on land, and even more so, could not escape from the reservoir.

Although the fish at Energy Refining Stage Two could not transform into human form, it could still survive for a very long time after leaving the water.

But if someone dug an underground passage from the side, connecting the reservoir to help the fish escape, then she had nothing more to say.

After covering the reservoir, Song Jixing casually threw out another simple spell seal, blocking away the Spirit Stone vein down below, ensuring no more spiritual energy would seep out from the bottom, and the fish would not be able to eat any spiritual energy.

After setting up the spell formations, Song Jixing casually manipulated the spiritual energy at the bottom with a leading gesture, quickening its dissipation into the air, draining away all the spiritual energy from the bottom.

The change in the spiritual energy at the bottom was too obvious. Even if the fish had not developed spiritual wisdom, it could still sense the change in its environment.

The fish swam about uneasily, swallowing the spiritual energy in the water, as if competing with Song Jixing.

Finally, there wasn’t a shred of spiritual energy left at the bottom. With no spiritual energy to absorb, the fish became extremely irritable. It swam rapidly to and fro at the bottom, and the previously calm surface became raging waves.

Although the fish down below had not developed spiritual wisdom, it had reached Energy Refining Stage Two after all, making it smarter than the average fish. It vaguely felt that the anomalies below might be related to the person above the surface. It then utilized the spiritual energy in its body, preparing to leap out of the water to attack that person.

Right when the fish gathered power to launch itself out of the water, the moment it came into contact with the golden spell formation on the water surface, it was like hitting a tuft of cotton. There was no effect at all.

It changed its method, wanting to shoot water out to attack that person, but still could not break through the thin water surface barrier.

This was the first time in its life that it felt powerless, as well as insecure and endangered. It tried with all its might to smash against the water surface, proving its extraordinary ability.

Unfortunately, other than the water surface undulating more violently, there was no other effect. Not only could the spell formation trap the fish, it also prevented anyone from falling into the reservoir. If someone happened to stumble into the water right then, they would immediately be bounced back by the formation.

Song Jixing was very satisfied with this situation.

For her at the Golden Core Stage, killing a fish at Energy Refining Stage Two would be extremely simple.

But that was not Song Jixing’s purpose.

Before coming over, Shen Feixian had discussed this with Song Jixing.

Although some people had already realized the changes in this world, facing the unknown, their understanding process would be rather slow.

There were still all kinds of risks that existed during the process of understanding these things.

As human cultivators, they would naturally stand unconditionally on the human side.

But this world was very different from the mundane world they came from in many ways. They were also not as free here as they were over there. The longstanding problem of their residence permits that had troubled many people should also be brought out to the open.

Of course, when making requests of others, a little sincerity needed to be shown. This fish was one such token of sincerity.

Shen Feixian and his fellow sect members’ opinions were very unanimous. Since they had been brought here by the Divine Cauldron, one day they would surely be sent back by the Divine Cauldron.

Before returning, they would treat this place as tempering through worldly trials, so asking for a few residence permits was very normal.

But what Shen Feixian wanted was not residence permits like what Song Jixing was using. He wanted something different.

Most of them had come from the human race originally before becoming cultivators. But at the moment they became cultivators, they had already become different from ordinary people.

It wasn’t that Shen Feixian wanted to create his own rules.

Rather, after spiritual energy appeared in this world, it was destined that there would be a number of people who would embark on a different path. As such, they could no longer be governed the same as ordinary people.

Before the term “cultivators” appeared, there were cases in their original world of human tribes with people who utilized spiritual energy being regarded as monsters by others.

Acknowledging their identity was a road that must be taken. Ignoring or coldly handling this issue would not solve the problem.

The violently churning water surface was akin to the brewing rage of the big fish below. It kept on rising higher and higher.

Song Jixing ignored its fury and slowly walked back to her car, driving home.

After letting things ferment for some days, it would be time for them to make their move again.

Upon getting into the car, Song Jixing gave Shen Feixian an “ok” gesture.

Very soon, Shen Feixian also sent a photo back to Song Jixing.

At the center of the photo was a hand holding over ten plastic bags, seemingly filled with food. Warm, bright multi-colored lantern lights hung around the periphery of the photo, which seemed to be from a food stall.

Shen Feixian: 【Got lots of late night snacks, hurry back and eat.】

Song Jixing: 【Ok, coming right back.】

On the second day after arriving in Z City, Song Jixing brought everyone out for a stroll. They went to the bubble water factory that Bai Ling especially wanted to visit. Shen Feixian took out a few hundred yuan to buy Bai Ling a bubble water machine.

Bai Ling was very happy. She passed the machine to Xiang Zhi, asking her to use it in the future to make bubble water for all the soups and drinks that Bai Ling took.

That night when they returned home, Bai Ling who drank the bubble milk was unhappy.

Shen Feixian concernedly asked, “Elder Bai, is the bubble milk not tasty?”

Bai Ling spit the milk back into her cup, her face full of disgust. “Too little bubbles! Not tasty! Is your machine defective?”
