Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 118 Worthy of the Adventure Secret Realm, He Likes It._3

The fishing rod in hand had transformed into a bewitchingly purple color that was quite captivating, and it had shortened considerably, looking less like a fishing rod and more like a long stick, having lost a bit of its elasticity and gained a bit of stiffness.

-

"Purple fishing rod."

"Capable of catching purple fish at the highest level, upgrading to Red Level requires catching 'five purple fish' and passing the Fifth Level inside the lower deck of the cabin."

-

"Continue!"

A purple fish was worth one Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

One Mid-grade Spirit Stone was worth nearly 600 lower-grade Spirit Stones, and Mid-grade Spirit Stones were exactly what Chen Qiu was in dire need of at the moment—he had less than thirty, and he would need a total of forty-nine Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to lay out a Spirit Gathering Array for his Golden Core breakthrough.

The moment a purple fish transformed into a Mid-grade Spirit Stone...

Chen Qiu's eyes reddened with excitement, and he was even somewhat reluctant to continue upgrading his fishing rod. He wanted to keep using the purple rod until the end of the Secret Realm. Based on his current pace, he was sure he could gather the forty-nine Mid-grade Spirit Stones before the Secret Realm closed.

He might even be able to gather 108 Mid-grade Spirit Stones and lay out an even higher quality Spirit Gathering Array.

However, it wasn't just Chen Qiu whose eyes had turned red—everyone around him felt a surge of envy upon seeing that Mid-grade Spirit Stone. Almost ninety percent of Foundation Establishment Cultivators would never have the chance to own a Mid-grade Spirit Stone in their lifetime.

And in this Secret Realm, catching one purple fish would reward them with a Mid-grade Spirit Stone.

They too desired a Purple fishing rod.

But that Fourth Level...it simply wasn't meant for humans to pass.

At that moment on the deck, there were only two people holding Blue fishing rods. Both were considered Heavenly Prides of their respective sects, capable of defeating five opponents of equal Cultivation, nearly invincible at their level. Even so...

After exchanging glances, both could see dissatisfaction and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Despite their reluctance to admit it, the Blue fishing rod truly represented their limit. Defeating ten opponents of equal Cultivation within a hundred breaths was an utterly fantastical idea for them!

Passing the Fourth Level required not merely being Invincible on an equal level, but absolute domination within that level.

...

After catching five purple fish and obtaining five Mid-grade Spirit Stones, which brought Chen Qiu's total number of Mid-grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring to thirty-one, he did not hesitate to turn around and head below deck once again.

Now, there were only two hours left until the closure of the Secret Realm.

Mid-grade Spirit Stones were indeed very tempting to him.

But he was even more curious about what kind of treasures higher level fishing rods could catch. For instance... a Red fishing rod.

Many on the deck looked towards Chen Qiu as he left, their expressions complex and silent. Chen Qiu had now removed his mask, so they had naturally recognized him as the recently famed Chen Qiu.

The one who single-handedly slaughtered tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Evil Clan members on the Boundless Icefield, recognized as a peerless Heavenly Pride Magic Practitioner of Da Xia.

Before this, no one had ever showcased such overwhelming dominance within their level.

Being able to fight three at the same level was almost unbeatable, and handling five was genuinely invincible. They had never seen anyone capable of fighting tens of thousands like Chen Qiu. They figured they likely never would again, outside of him.

It was no surprise for them that Chen Qiu managed to pass the Fourth Level. Ten opponents were probably nothing more than an appetizer for him.

...

Inside the Fifth Level.

On the empty deck...

Fifty ninth-layer Foundation Establishment Fishmen Monsters surrounded Chen Qiu in the center—that was the challenge of the Fifth Level, to defeat fifty Fishman Monsters at his same level of Cultivation within a hundred breaths.

It was near an impossible task.

However...

After several thousand Thunder Dragons roared past, the Fishman Monsters realized what true dominance at the same level was, right before they turned into green smoke and vanished.

...

With anticipation flickering between his brows, Chen Qiu, holding the Red fishing rod, strode up onto the deck, ignoring the envious and jealous glances cast by those around him. He walked confidently to the edge of the deck and cast the rod out powerfully into the depths of the sea.

-

"Red fishing rod."

"Capable of catching Red fish at the highest level, upgrading to Golden Level requires catching 'six red fish' and passing the Sixth Level located in the cabin below deck."

-

Cast the rod!

Reel in!

A hundred breaths later, a big Red fish, shimmering like crystal wine, was pulled onto the deck. It flopped around for a bit before transforming into an entry jade slip.

"Entry Jade Scroll": Crush to randomly obtain one White entry.

"Heh!"

Chen Qiu couldn't help but grin, for this was a genuine treasure. Whether it was for using ten entries as Refining Pill ingredients during Core Formation or for holding onto a Self-Destruction Term as a last-resort move, it was all good stuff.

Even though it was a White entry,

That was exactly what he wanted; he wouldn't want to use better entries as Refining Pill ingredients.

This time, he couldn't resist, and after catching six more Red fish, he went on to catch four more Red fish, pulling up a total of ten entry jade slips into his Storage Ring. Only then did he hurriedly head deeper into the cabin.

There was only an hour and a half left until the end of the Secret Realm, and he had to make the most of the remaining time.

Those ten random White entries would become his greatest gains from this Secret Realm adventure, instantly easing his worries about not having enough entries for Refining Pills. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

On the deck, the others watched the transformation of the big Red fish into an entry jade slip with expressionless faces. They remained silent, and if it weren't for Chen Qiu, they would have been quite thrilled. An adventure secret realm with no danger but ample reward was their favorite kind of Secret Realm.
