Chapter 232: Chapter 157: Like a Fish in Water (Two in One, Subscription Request)_4 Chapter 232: Chapter 157: Like a Fish in Water (Two in One, Subscription Request)_4 Moreover, the young Mysterious Turtle’s defensive capabilities were clearly superior to its offensive power.
Su Ping conducted a brief experiment.
This Mysterious Turtle came with its own Force Field Shield and Multiple Body Protection Light Shields.
Conventional physical blows would be deflected off course and rendered ineffective upon contact.
In terms of spells, lightning, water, fire, and earth would all be weakened to varying degrees.
As for poison, not one of the types that Su Ping could muster had any effect on the young Mysterious Turtle.
Therefore, apart from sending it out to bite enemies, the turtle could also be shrunken and placed in the sleeve to serve as a defensive spiritual artifact.
With its help, one could seemingly pass unscathed through a barrage of thousands of attacks, untouched by a single one.
However, as this fellow successfully made its Foundation Establishment breakthrough,
consuming Qi Cultivation demon beast meat hardly had much effect.
Foundation Establishment demon beast meat was still effective, but not significantly.
To continue rapid growth for the young Mysterious Turtle…
wouldn’t one need to find carcasses of Big Demon Beasts equivalent to the Middle and Late Foundation Establishment stage or even the Golden Core Stage?
If one didn’t hunt them oneself but chose to buy,
the meat of higher-Cultivation demon beasts would also be more expensive!
Su Ping felt that the Spirit Stones in his storage bag would probably not be enough to satisfy the young Mysterious Turtle’s appetite.
So, it was time for the young Mysterious Turtle to fend for itself!
It was just uncertain if quantity could make up for it.
In the oceans of Water Blue Star, there was an abundance of fish to feast on.
Moreover, the useful materials discovered during his time in Sakura Country had piqued Su Ping’s curiosity about the oceans of Water Blue Star.
If there were Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on land,
the larger and more mysterious sea should have some too, right?
Su Ping thought about it and, since there was no immediate need for the young Mysterious Turtle and Big Black,
he went on to welcome the Inspection Envoy from the Cloud Mountain Workshop, registering the Spirit Fields and number of Cultivators at Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.
He then coordinated with the monks from the Little Golden Light Temple, sending a Manager to assist them in planning the Golden Light Demon Suppression Array layout in the residential area at the foot of the mountain and constructing a dojo for their ceremonies.
After busying himself with these matters,
only then did Su Ping excuse himself for closed-door cultivation, vanishing from the Immortal Cultivation World.
Not long after Su Ping’s departure,
an Inspection Envoy hurriedly arrived again. Learning that White Crane True Man was in seclusion, he left a letter and quickly departed.
This Inspection Envoy was a Foundation Establishment cultivator aligned with Artifact Heart Sect, considered one of the foreign Guest Elders.
As soon as he entered Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop, he knew that the Loose Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage wasn’t on the mountain.
But that was normal; given the environment of Nine Leaf Mountain, he wouldn’t choose to cultivate in seclusion there either.
Moreover, which Cultivator breaking through to Foundation Establishment didn’t have their little secrets?
As long as they weren’t Evil Cultivator methods, everyone was generally understanding.
Facing the vast sea, Su Ping summoned the Mysterious Turtle and Big Black.
After instructing them with a few cautionary tips and handing over Pills for replenishing mana to the Mysterious Turtle for safekeeping and instructing it to keep an eye on Big Black,
he sent both the Mysterious Turtle and Big Black into the depths of the ocean.
Following the currents, they began their journey of exploration while feeding.
Big Black took to the sea as naturally as a fish to water, like a dragon entering the sea.
Although it was slightly unaccustomed to the lack of Spiritual Energy,
the familiarity of the sea made up for it.
As it sank to the sea bed, Su Ping could vaguely sense that Big Black’s Divine Soul seemed to be getting stronger,
as if the ocean resonated with the slight trace of Dragon Blood within its body.
With the breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, the Mysterious Turtle had gained Divine Sense.
The slight soul enhancement from the ocean’s resonance was insignificant to it.
But…this glutton seemed to have become particularly voracious?
Su Ping noticed that when the Mysterious Turtle encountered a school of fish, it would immediately grow larger and then inhale with a wide-open mouth!
Thousands of fish from the school were sucked into its mouth, becoming its nourishment.
The efficiency… seemed even more exaggerated than that of high-tech fishing vessels!
Su Ping quickly gave a new order.
He directed it to spare the small fish when feeding,
since humans on Water Blue Star had proven through their own actions that overfishing could indeed drive fish populations to extinction.
Draining the pond to get all the fish is not desirable!
Big Black was much more elegant in this regard.
It showed little interest in small fish,
focusing mainly on various large sharks and even whales.
Additionally, it occasionally hunted a large octopus on the sea bed to diversify its diet.
