It is said that many people at that time saw a golden light flash across the sky and fall into a small island.
Because of this, many people went to the island to explore, but everyone returned empty-handed...
The vast majority of people believed that someone must have gotten there first.
This startled Ye Yu, who had quietly been gathering information nearby.
However, the news he heard was largely the same!
Since Ye Yu had cleaned up in advance, no one found anything particularly special!
Therefore, there were all sorts of theories, but none could produce concrete evidence.
Upon hearing these things, Ye Yu deliberately feigned ignorance and asked his companions curiously.
"Do you know who was so lucky to find such a great opportunity?"
He looked at the familiar faces around him and asked with a tone full of curiosity.
"Yu'er, if we had found it, things wouldn't be like this now."
A fishing uncle surnamed Xu chuckled when he heard this and then said!
"Damn it, if I knew who took this great opportunity, I'd sneak into his house at night, kill the bastard, and take the opportunity for myself."
On the other side, a muscular man named Sun Yulin said fiercely.
Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat at these words, but his face remained impassive, maintaining the same expression.
...
Speaking of which, another fisherman poling a boat said, "It is rumored that a prominent figure has now put out word that whoever can give him this great opportunity will be rewarded with a hundred mu of paddy fields."
"The value of that person, a hundred mu of paddy fields..."
Ye Yun was stunned by this price!
A hundred mu of paddy fields was a great temptation for Ye Yu at this time.
After all, for a fisherman drifting on the water, a hundred mu of paddy fields would be enough to make him a small landowner.
In the future, he could hire laborers to help with the farming. He wouldn't be able to eat and drink without lifting a finger, but he would at least have a comfortable life, a wife and children, and a peaceful and happy life!
Thinking of this, Ye Yu felt a bit restless!
...
Shaking his head, compared to such a life, Ye Yu preferred the carefree and immortal life of flying through the heavens and roaming the earth!
He rowed around the area and, seeing that no one suspected him, Ye Yu felt a little relieved.
Since he had come out this far, he thought he might as well try to catch some more fish. He couldn't return empty-handed, could he?
Lake Zeyu was vast, stretching a thousand li wide and ten thousand li long. It would take a month to travel from east to west in an ordinary small boat, and that would be with favorable winds.
After working hard for more than half an hour, Ye Yu pulled up his net, but still found nothing!
He was not discouraged. Biting his lip, he decided to go further to fish, hoping for better luck and to catch bigger fish.
As Ye Yu rowed further, he suddenly noticed that a strong wind had appeared on the lake, and dark clouds covered the sky, as if a heavy rain was imminent!
Ye Yu's expression gradually turned grim.
The situation that fishermen feared the most had occurred!
At this moment, thunder struck again, and rain began to pour down.
Ye Yu returned to the cabin, put on his straw raincoat, donned a bamboo-woven conical hat, and paddled his boat towards a nearby secluded island he remembered.
The wind was high and the waves were rough. The small covered boat could easily capsize, leading to destruction and death.
Therefore, when encountering heavy rain, it was best to find a reliable place to shelter from the wind and rain as soon as possible.
In the wind and rain, a tiny island emerged.
Because the place was too small, no one had settled there.
Ye Yu moored his boat on the island and cast out a rope, tying it firmly to a reef.
"Crack... crack..."
With lightning and thunder, after he finished doing all this, the rain seemed to fall relentlessly!
With the brief flash of lightning, he could see huge waves rising on the lake, displaying the power of nature with every movement!
Fortunately, it was still a lake and not the sea, so it couldn't unleash the power of a natural disaster that the sea displayed when it raged.
The water churned, and the rain roared.
Ye Yu hid under a large reef, taking shelter from the rain in a sorry state.
He did not have a comfortable night with the storm.
The next morning.
The clouds dispersed, the rain stopped, and the sun shone brightly.
Ye Yu untied the rope, paddled his covered boat, and cast his net with hope!
After all, the elders said that after heavy rain, there would be valuable fish!
Perhaps it was heaven's favor, but as he cast his net this time, Ye Yu was surprised to find that he had caught a crimson-scaled blood fish!
This was truly a treasure!
Overjoyed, Ye Yu quickly hid the crimson-scaled blood fish, which might bring disaster, in the cabin, pretended nothing was wrong, and rowed back to his home!
Not long after, he returned home, and the brother and sister whispered outside for a while.
In the room, Wu Tao was still lying on the bed, his face pale and looking very weak, like a dead man.
However, You Meng was still hidden in Wu Tao's sea of consciousness. If Ye Yu and his sister harbored any ill intentions, they would face great misfortune.
You Meng had not appeared before because she wanted to observe the character of Ye Yu and his sister to see if they were worth investing in!
As You Meng, who had followed Wu Tao for many years, she had long since perceived Wu Tao's intentions!
Because, to resurrect Lu Yuehua and destroy the blood race, one person's strength was far from enough.
Wu Tao needed to build a vast organization to achieve his goals.
You Meng in the sea of consciousness could also hear the conversations outside. She also knew what kind of new world they had arrived in.
In this world, they would build a grand immortal kingdom, become an Immortal Emperor, and then kill their way back for revenge and to settle old scores.
And to achieve this, it was not enough for just him and Wu Tao; they needed a large number of subordinates, and they had to be loyal and capable.
...
After the siblings discussed it, Ye Yu instructed his sister to kill the crimson-scaled blood fish and make it into fish soup!
Ye Qingyi's eyebrows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, then she glanced at her brother, sighed silently, and nodded before withdrawing.
Meanwhile!
Ye Yu roughly checked and was relieved to find that Wu Tao was still alive.
After all, Wu Tao was Ye Yu's only hope now, and he did not want anything to happen to him.
Although Ye Qingyi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, her cooking skills were decent. However, limited by conditions and seasonings, she couldn't make it particularly delicious. It could only be said to be palatable!
She placed a few pieces of firewood at the bottom of the pot, added some water, and some scallions, ginger, and salt!
Ye Qingyi picked up the knife she usually used to kill fish and scale them, preparing to cook this crimson-scaled blood fish, which was worth a thousand gold.
...
Next, Ye Qingyi skillfully began to kill the fish, scrape its scales, remove its innards, and then cook the fish soup.
Unlike ordinary grass carp, crimson-scaled blood fish did not require washing away the blood. White wine was added to remove the fishy smell.
This was because crimson-scaled blood fish were rumored to have a trace of true dragon blood, and they were not demonic beasts. They were a type of fish that ordinary people could catch!
Mortals who consumed it could greatly replenish their vital energy, strengthen their foundation, and prolong their lives.
And Ye Yu, in order for Wu Tao to recover quickly, was unwilling to eat it himself or sell it for money. He let his sister kill it for Wu Tao to drink.
...
Soon, an enticing aroma began to emanate from the pot.
The fish soup in the pot was fragrant. Ye Qingyi couldn't help but take a sip.
Instantly, she felt an extremely rich and fresh flavor that intensely stimulated her taste buds. As the soup slid down her throat and into her stomach, a warm current surged through her entire body!
Ye Qingyi, who had been suffering from the dampness of the lake, felt her whole body become much lighter.
"As expected of the precious treasure fish that the wealthy and powerful have always sought, it is truly extraordinary!"
Ye Qingyi exclaimed, then picked up a relatively intact broken bowl nearby and cautiously walked towards the house.
Although she only used salt, scallions, and ginger, how could crimson-scaled blood fish be compared to ordinary freshwater fish?
Upon smelling the fish aroma, Ye Yu's stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
Looking at the scars and calluses on his sister's small hands, Ye Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart.
His sister was only thirteen or fourteen years old and had already suffered so much.
There was no choice. Their parents had died early, and for the siblings to survive, they had to learn to endure hardship.
No one had an easy life. Children of poor families had to grow up quickly.
Ye Yu prised open Wu Tao's mouth, and Ye Qingyi poured a bowl of fish soup, along with the fish meat, into his mouth.
This cycle continued until the entire pot of fish soup was fed into Wu Tao's mouth. Only then did the siblings stop.
Wu Tao, who had fallen asleep, suddenly felt waves of heat rising from his stomach, and then his whole body became warm.
Who is it?
What's going on?
Disturbing someone's sweet dream...
In a daze, Wu Tao seemed to have been stimulated by something, preventing him from sleeping any longer.
His consciousness gradually cleared, and strange sensations spread through his mind.
His limbs ached intolerably, and his body had no strength at all, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Huh?"
Wu Tao was startled, and the next moment, he was completely awake.
With all his might, Wu Tao opened his eyes. His vision was blurry, and for a moment, he couldn't see clearly!
After his gaze lingered for a moment, he saw his surroundings.
It was a dilapidated thatched hut that exuded a decaying smell everywhere.
In front of a hard wooden bed, two children, wearing patched and tattered clothes, sat beside his bed, leaning over him.
One looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Although they weren't very young, they looked gaunt and pitiful at first glance!
"Immortal, you're awake!"
