Lang Nana felt anxious when she saw that Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue had both caught fish.
After she hung the bait, she swung the fishing rod hard, and the hook fell into the water, splashing water.
She held the fishing rod tightly and stared at the water without blinking.
After a long while, there was no movement on the water. Lang Nana was a little depressed, with a look of loss on her face.
Just when she was about to give up, there was a sudden splash on the water and the fishing rod sank suddenly.
Lang Nana shouted excitedly: "I caught a fish!" She reeled in the line with force, and a crystal fish was pulled out of the water.
The body of the ice crystal fish sparkles blue in the sunlight, like a precious gem.
Its eyes are clear and transparent, as if they can see through everything.
Lang Nana put the ice crystal fish into the bucket, jumped up happily, with a happy smile on her face.
The three of them continued fishing, and soon the bucket was filled with all kinds of spiritual fish.
They looked at the spirit fish in the bucket and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Qiong looked at the lively fish in the bucket and said with a smile, "We have a good harvest today. These fish are enough for us to have a good meal."
Nan Fengxue nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's find a place to grill these spirit fish. I can't wait to taste them."
Lang Nana said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I am already drooling."
So, the three of them came to an open space by the lake with the spiritual fish they caught.
Jiang Qiong used his spiritual power to build a bonfire. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a ball of flame rose from his hands, instantly igniting the dry firewood.
The flames burned brightly, emitting a warm atmosphere that dispelled the coldness around them.
Nan Fengxue cleaned the spirit fish and marinated it with some spirit herbs and seasonings.
With her skillful technique, she evenly spread the spiritual herbs and seasonings on the spirit fish, allowing the spirit fish to fully absorb the flavor of the seasonings.
Lang Nana helped on the side. She cut the prepared branches into bamboo sticks to string the spirit fish.
She moved skillfully and had sharpened a bunch of bamboo sticks in no time.
When everything was ready, they put the marinated spirit fish on bamboo sticks and grilled them over the campfire.
Under the roasting flame, the spirit fish gradually becomes golden and crispy, with an attractive layer of oily sheen on the surface.
The aroma permeated the air, becoming more and more rich, making people salivate. They turned the fish from time to time to ensure that each side was evenly grilled.
After a while, the spirit fish was grilled.
The three of them picked up the grilled spirit fish and took a light bite.
The meat of the spirit fish is tender and juicy, melting in the mouth. A rich aroma spreads in the mouth, as if the whole taste buds are cheering.
The spiritual energy of the spirit fish slowly merged into their bodies as they chewed, making them feel comfortable all over, as if all their fatigue disappeared in an instant.
"too delicious!"
Lang Nana ate and praised, a happy smile on her face. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and charming.
Jiang Qiong and Nan Fengxue also nodded in agreement, and they enjoyed the delicious spirit fish to their heart's content.
In this peaceful valley, they savored delicious food while appreciating the surrounding beauty and feeling the beauty and tranquility of nature.
The sunlight shines on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden glow, and the picture is warm and beautiful.
After eating the spiritual fish, the three of them lay on the grass and looked up at the sky. The sky was as blue as a mirror, and white clouds were floating in the sky, like a beautiful painting.
The breeze blows gently, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Their hearts were filled with satisfaction and joy. At this moment, they forgot all their worries and fatigue and just immersed themselves in this wonderful time.
After resting for a while, the three of them got up, packed up their things, and prepared to leave the valley.
They put the remaining spirit fish into a storage bag, intending to take it back for other members of the "Justice League" to taste.
They walked slowly out of the valley along the way they had come, their hearts filled with memories of this wonderful experience.
After returning to Xueyun Mountain, they told other members about catching the spirit fish in the valley.
Everyone was very envious and expressed that they would like to go together next time if they had the chance.
Jiang Qiong and others agreed with a smile. They knew that there were more interesting things waiting for them to discover in this mysterious and challenging Xueyun Mountain.
However, just when they thought that their trip to Linghu Lake had come to an end, that night, Jiang Qiong suddenly noticed an abnormal fluctuation in the spiritual energy in his body while practicing.
He calmed down and felt carefully, and found that the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual fish he had eaten during the day had undergone miraculous changes in his body.
These spiritual energies are no longer simply absorbed, but are blending and colliding with each other in his meridians, as if pushing him to break through the current bottleneck of practice.
Jiang Qiong told Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana about this discovery, and they also noticed the difference in the spiritual energy in their bodies.
They decided to go to the valley again to explore the mystery of the spiritual energy of the spirit fish.
When they came to Linghu Lake again, they found that the spirit fish in the lake seemed to have sensed their arrival and gathered by the lake, as if waiting for them.
Jiang Qiong tried to communicate with the spirit fish. He used his spiritual power to convey his doubts to the spirit fish.
Miraculously, a large jade fish seemed to understand what he said. It slowly swam to the shore and gently touched Jiang Qiong's hand with its head.
Immediately afterwards, a stream of information poured into Jiang Qiong's mind, from which he learned that these spirit fish were the guardian spirits of Xueyun Mountain, and the spiritual energy in their bodies contained some of the mysteries of Xueyun Mountain.
After humans eat them, if they are predestined, they can use the spiritual energy to comprehend some special cultivation techniques.
Under the guidance of the spirit fish, Jiang Qiong and the other two came to a secret cave at the bottom of the spirit lake.
The cave is filled with rich spiritual energy, and mysterious runes flicker on the walls.
They found an ancient secret book of spiritual practice in the cave, which recorded a unique method of circulating spiritual power, which was completely different from the spiritual practice method they had learned before.
The three decided to stay in the cave and study the secret book carefully.
In the following days, they studied day and night, constantly trying to integrate the practice methods in the secret book into their own practice.
At first, progress was very slow and they encountered many difficulties and setbacks.
But they did not give up. With their firm belief and tenacious perseverance, they gradually mastered this new method of practice.
With the in-depth understanding and application of the new practice method, the strength of Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana has been significantly improved.
Their spiritual power became more mellow, and the power of their spells was greatly enhanced. When they left the cave, they were no longer the same as before.
After returning to Xueyun Mountain, they shared their experiences in the Linghu Cave and the newly learned practice methods with other members of the "Justice League".
Everyone began to try this new practice method, and the strength of the entire "Justice League" was further enhanced.
This trip to Linghu Lake was no longer just a simple sightseeing and fishing experience. It became an important turning point in the spiritual practice of Jiang Qiong and others, opening a door for them to a higher level of spiritual practice.
Jiang Qiong, Nan Fengxue and Lang Nana practiced diligently in the Linghu Cave. After mastering new practice methods, their strength increased greatly.
They exude a different temperament than before, and their eyes are full of desire for a higher realm.
They know that the road to becoming an immortal is long and they cannot be satisfied with their current progress, so they decide to continue exploring the world of immortal cultivation and continue to grow through experience.
The three packed their bags, bid farewell to Xueyun Mountain and their partners in the "Justice League", and embarked on a new journey.
They walked along the winding mountain path, sometimes passing through dense forests. The tall trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden beams of light.
Occasionally, you can see some rare spiritual plants, flickering with light and emitting a unique aura.
Sometimes we cross clear streams, the water is gurgling, and the fish in the water are swimming happily, as if telling the story of the mountains and forests.
Along the way, they experienced the wonderful scenery of the world of immortal cultivation and met all kinds of people and things.
They helped a herbalist who was besieged by monsters, and learned many strange stories about the world of immortal cultivation from him;
We passed by a peaceful immortal cultivation village, where we replenished our supplies and experienced the various aspects of life of ordinary immortal cultivators.
One day, they were on their way when suddenly a violent fluctuation of spiritual power came from the sky.
The three of them looked up and saw two monks of extremely high realms fighting in the sky.
The two monks were surrounded by powerful spiritual energy, and one of them was surrounded by flames. Every time he waved his arm, a huge flaming palm print whizzed out, and the air seemed to be ignited wherever it went;
The other person was surrounded by green wind blades, which cut through the air and made sharp whistling sounds.
Each attack was accompanied by a deafening roar. Under the impact of their spiritual power, cracks appeared in the space. Strange light flashed in the cracks, as if it would collapse at any time.
Jiang Qiong and others were stunned by the sudden battle. They tried to avoid the fight and find a safe place.
However, the aftermath of the battle was too powerful, and the three were unable to dodge and were accidentally sucked into a space rift.
After a dizzying moment, Jiang Qiong and others found themselves in a vast desert.
The scorching sun shone down unobstructed, the ground was scorching hot, and yellow sand was flying all over the sky.
They looked around and saw only endless desert and no sign of life.
The wind was howling, making their clothes rustle, and the sand hit their faces painfully.
"Where is this? How did we get dragged here?"
Lang Nana said anxiously, with a hint of fear in her eyes. She tightly grasped Jiang Qiong's sleeve, as if she could find a sense of security in this way.
Jiang Qiong frowned and said, "It seems that we have been dragged into an unknown space by the battle between the two monks. Don't panic, let's see if we can find a way out."
He tried to stay calm, looking around for possible clues.
Just when they were at a loss, a group of people riding strange creatures appeared in the distance.
These people were dark-skinned, dressed in animal skins, and holding weapons. They looked like the local indigenous tribe.
The people of the indigenous tribe discovered Jiang Qiong and others and quickly surrounded them.
The creatures they rode were similar in shape to camels, but much larger, with strong, sturdy limbs that enabled them to run quickly across the sand.
Jiang Qiong and others looked at these people vigilantly, ready to deal with possible dangers.
However, the indigenous tribesmen did not attack them, but communicated with them in a strange language.
After a while, one of them who looked like the leader stepped forward and said in the not-so-fluent Common Language: "Where... are you from?"
There was curiosity in his eyes, but no hostility.
Jiang Qiong said quickly: "We are from Xueyun Mountain and were accidentally dragged here. May I ask where this is?"
He tried to make his tone friendly.
The leader replied: "This is the Sunset Desert, our home. You don't look like bad people, come with us, we will save you."
He showed an honest smile on his face and motioned to Jiang Qiong and others to follow them.
Jiang Qiong and others gratefully followed the indigenous tribesmen to their camp.
The camp is located next to an oasis and is surrounded by some simple houses and tents.
In the oasis, the clear lake water ripples, and some drought-resistant plants grow around it, creating an lush green environment.
The indigenous tribesmen welcomed them warmly and brought them food and water.
The food is some cakes made from special local plants. Although they taste rough, they are particularly precious in this desert.
During their communication with the indigenous tribes, Jiang Qiong and others learned that this desert hides many unknown secrets.
Legend has it that deep in the desert, there is an ancient ruins containing endless treasures and powerful magic weapons.
However, the ruins are filled with various dangers and traps, and countless adventurers have never come out after entering.
It is said that there is a fog in the ruins that can release hallucinations and make people lose their minds; there are also mechanical beasts that attack automatically and are extremely powerful.
Jiang Qiong and others became very interested in this legend. After recovering their strength, they decided to go deep into the desert to explore the ruins.
When the leader of the indigenous tribe learned of their idea, he advised them: "The ruins are very dangerous, you'd better not go there.
Over the years, many strong men have gone in but never came out alive."
His eyes were full of worry, trying to make Jiang Qiong and others give up this dangerous idea.
Jiang Qiong said firmly: "Since we have come here, we can't give up easily.
We will be careful, thank you for your kindness." His tone was firm and his eyes revealed firm determination.
Seeing that they were determined, the leader stopped trying to dissuade them. Instead, he provided them with some information about the desert and the ruins, and sent them a guide who was familiar with the desert.
The guide was a young native named Agu. He knew the desert very well and his eyes were full of intelligence and determination.
Under the guidance of the guide, Jiang Qiong and others set out on a journey to the depths of the desert. (End of this chapter)

The body of the ice crystal fish sparkles blue in the sunlight, like a precious gem.
Its eyes are clear and transparent, as if they can see through everything.
Lang Nana put the ice crystal fish into the bucket, jumped up happily, with a happy smile on her face.
The three of them continued fishing, and soon the bucket was filled with all kinds of spiritual fish.
They looked at the spirit fish in the bucket and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Jiang Qiong looked at the lively fish in the bucket and said with a smile, "We have a good harvest today. These fish are enough for us to have a good meal."
Nan Fengxue nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's find a place to grill these spirit fish. I can't wait to taste them."
