Chapter 299 - 297: Using Their Own Wav 1
Lu Xuan contemplated for a moment and called Song Yu to the side, setting up a Sound Insulation Spiritual Energy Barrier.
“Family Head Song, there’s something I must make clear to you.”
“This Invisible Algae typically grows deep at sea, even if brought here by sea fishes or sea beasts, it’s impossible for a large amount of Invisible Algae to appear.”
Hence, the incident of the Spirit Plant parasitizing the Void Nether Spirit Fish is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.”
Lu Xuan stated conclusively.
“You mean to say, Uncle Lu, that someone deliberately sabotaged the Song Family?”
Song Yu’s face changed.
“They went to great lengths to bring this rare Spirit Plant here, most likely aiming to harm these captive Void Nether Spirit Fish, change the environment of these waters, making them seek other places to live and reproduce.” “Of course, let’s not rule out the possibility of an enemy of your family, using this method for revenge.”
“Family Head Song, how many islands around here, similar to these waters, can also raise Void Nether Spirit Fish?”
Lu Xuan solemnly asked.
“There are two other islands that can raise Void Nether Spirit Fish, namely, Chongning Island and Spirit Turtle Island. However, both their water quality and special terrain conditions are not as good as Void Nether Island, thus their production is far less than ours, in the Cultivation World their popularity is not evident, outsiders only know about Void Nether Spirit Fish.”
Song Yu replied.
Do not tell others, including the two monks from the Song Family with us right now, about how we obtained the Invisible Algae.”
Upon return to the island, conduct a secret investigation to find out the person behind the plot, meanwhile, temporarily lockdown these waters. I will stay back to cure the parasitized Void Nether Spirit Fish and thoroughly clean the Invisible Algae hidden in the sea.”
Lu Xuan’s tone was non-negotiable as he commanded the Scholarly Cultivator.
Yes, I will find out as soon as possible who planted this Invisible Algae, Uncle Lu do not worry.”
Song Yu nodded seriously and decisively said.
The person behind the scenes nearly destroyed years of the Song Family’s hard work with this move, if the waters reproduced a large number of Invisible Algae, driving the Void Nether Spirit Fish away would be like uprooting the Song Family. At the moment, he was burning with rage and just wanted to find the person behind all this and put them through a thousand cuts.
He gave a few instructions to the two Monks of the Song Family who were responsible for watching the Spirit Fish, and then quickly left.
“You two, find those Void Nether Spirit Fish in the sea that are violent and have a tendency to self-harm, leave the rest to me.”
Lu Xuan instructed both of them.
“Yes, sir!”
Both of them answered in unison, each of them put on a Water-working Robe and jumped into the water.
One after one, the enormous Void Nether Spirit Fish were brought up and given to Lu Xuan.
Unable to find a better solution for the time being, Lu Xuan still opted for the method of roasting to force out the Invisible Algae that had integrated with the Void Nether Spirit Fish.
Lu Xuan placed the Void Nether Spirit Fish in front of him, condensed a large water ball to cover its head, and then slowly roasted its body with hot flames.
Once familiar, twice adept, knowing the origins of Invisible Algae, the flame didn’t need to roast as fiercely as the first time.
Even though the Invisible Algae is like a water ball, it is after all a Spirit Plant having a survival instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Under the wildfire’s roasting, Invisible Algae started to transform slightly.
Lu Xuan noticed this subtle change, he then traced it back to its origin and dragged the Invisible Algae out.
Due to the wildfire’s roasting, the Void Nether Spirit Fish suffered slight burns. After applying the ointment provided by the Song Family, it took several days of rest to resume normal condition.
After treating several dozen Void Nether Spirit Fish this way, Lu Xuan checked the rest of the Spirit Fish thoroughly to ensure that there were no growing Invisible Algae lurking inside their bodies.
Then, he delved deep into the waters and knitted a fine, large net with Qingmu Origin Energy. He swept over every part of the seabed with it.
If they discovered an abnormal reaction somewhere, they could locate the Invisible Algae that had not yet parasitized within the Spiritual Fish.
**
There was a majestic and grand building on a vast island.
The building was located at the highest point of the island. Looking out from the house, one could see the boundless sea, which gave a sense of heroic spirit.
A beautiful woman was lounging on a mahogany chair.
The woman was still graceful and charming, her eyes filled with allure. Her lithe figure was like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite even if they got splashed with juice, savoring it sweetly.
However, the men below dared not offend her in the slightest, all staring at their toes, seemingly frozen.
“How is the situation on Void Nether Island developing?”
The beautiful woman picked up a red Spirit Fruit with her delicate fingers and bit into it gently.
“According to the information sent back by our insider, a considerable number of Void Nether Spirit Fish living in the island’s water have been parasitized. There are many fish that have begun to self-harm. The water area has been sealed off, and it is estimated that it has reached a very serious level,” a middle-aged high-grade Qi Practitioner monk stepped forward and reported to the beautiful woman.
“Is that so?”
A hint of joy flashed across the woman’s face. She stretched lazily, highlighting her stunning figure.
We owe Friend Sun a big thank you this time for gifting us such a peculiar Spirit Plant, solving the problem of the Spirit Fish in Void Nether Island without using a single soldier.”
The beautiful woman looked over at a one-eyed Monk nearby. The Monk was a high-grade Qj Practitioner, with one eye visible while the other was wrapped in black cloth. Gray and black gas was slowly seeping out.
The one-eyed Monk felt dry in the mouth as the beautiful woman’s gaze fell on him. He moistened his lips and said, “Congratulations to Lady Ning!”
As the Invisible Algae enters its mature stage and the Void Nether Spirit Fish continue to lose their vitality and spiritual power, more and more will descend into madness.”
“With the Invisible Algae occupying the water and changing its quality, the Void Nether Spirit Fish will naturally slowly escape from there in search of a new habitat. Then, solving the issue of the water area at Spirit Turtle Island, Chongning Island will become the new ideal habitat for Spirit Fish.”
“From now on, Void Nether Spirit Fish will disappear from the Cultivation
World, and they will be replaced by Chongning Spirit Fish.”
“Hee hee, if we can achieve that, Friend Sun, you will have made a great contribution. Naturally, I will reward you generously,” the beautiful woman covered her red lips with a soft hand and chuckled.
Song Yu paid a visit to the Spirit Field.
It was noticeable that he had expended a lot of effort and energy during this period. Even with the physique of a high-grade Qi Practitioner, he looked exhausted beyond measure.
Uncle Lu, I have found the mastermind.”
I laid a trap and discovered that a monk from the Song Family has turned traitor. Under torture, he finally confessed that those Invisible Algae were instigated by the Ning Family of Chongning Island.”
“Apparently, a Loose Cultivator from overseas pledged allegiance to the Ning Family and offered them this special Spirit Plant, the Invisible Algae. The Ning Family then seized the opportunity to spread it in the waters of Void Nether Island, thus causing the Spirit Fish to shift their habitat to the waters of Chongning Island.”
Song Yu spoke with a grave expression.
“The Ning Family of Chongning Island? What’s their history?”
A local family, they have an old Foundation Establishment Monk who is approaching the end of his life and no longer comes out of seclusion. He is at the Foundation Establishment First-term Stage and has many businesses around the Boundless Sea.”
Song Yu explained.
“He’s a Foundation Establishment First-term Old Monk? Then we can just pay them back with their own coin,”
Lu Xuan was staring at a giant wooden basin in the courtyard, which reflected light at various angles, and thought to himself.
