165: Chapter 165 Longevity Elixir Recipe, Exquisitely Delicious Star Spirit Fish
At night, they found a villa to stay in. Ji Hongfei silently returned to his room to cultivate, infuriating Dan Yunyao.
As for Mo Yu, he sat in front of the outdoor swimming pool, drinking alone.
After Chen Yue cultivated for a while in her room, she walked out. Seeing Mo Yu drinking by the pool, she hesitated for a moment before walking over softly.
At this moment, Mo Yu was lost in thought, staring at the moon, completely unaware that Chen Yue had approached his side.
"Are you troubled?" Chen Yue whispered, startling Mo Yu.
A flash of purple electricity flickered in Mo Yu's eyes. When he turned and saw it was Chen Yue, his expression softened, and he smiled. "Why do you say that?"
"Because you were spacing out..."
Chen Yue straightened her clothes and slowly sat down beside Mo Yu.
"Spacing out? Why does spacing out mean I'm troubled?"
Chen Yue looked into Mo Yu's eyes, which were filled with gentleness, and hurriedly lowered her head in a panic. "Because... because there's always a reason for spacing out, because of many things."
"When I'm sad, I also like to space out."
Mo Yu stared at Chen Yue's profile. The young girl's face, devoid of makeup, was already flushed like peach blossoms.
Chen Yue didn't dare look at Mo Yu, continuing to speak to herself: "But I don't space out anymore. Spacing out wastes a lot of cultivation time..."
As if realizing she had said the wrong thing, Chen Yue explained, "I... I didn't mean that you are wasting time..."
"I just hope you can be a little happier..."
After speaking, as if realizing something, she extended her hand. A green vine suddenly emerged from the ground, gently swaying in the breeze.
Seeing the girl's flustered appearance, Mo Yu smiled. "Thank you."
He felt a bit dazed; a long-lost sense of familiarity always stirred up some poignant nostalgia.
"Why did you help me? Those were two Second Realm Cultivators. Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Yue paused, and the vine dancing in the wind stopped. She hesitated for a moment, then said very seriously, "Because you are a good person."
"Pfft..." Mo Yu hadn't expected to be dealt the 'good person' card for no reason.
Hearing Mo Yu's laughter, Chen Yue smiled slightly and continued, "Because of you, I was able to treat my father early, and life has become better now..."
"Mo Yu, thank you."
In Mo Yu's pupils, Chen Yue's smile was reflected. He squinted slightly and said in a voice only he could hear, "I should be the one thanking you."
How could there be two people in the world so similar and yet so innocent?
Mo Yu shook his head. Looking at Chen Yue's somewhat silly, dazed appearance, he felt a bit itchy in his heart.
Let's tease her.
"Chen Yue, let me tell you something."
"Ah, what is it? ..." For some reason, Chen Yue blushed.
"You can't tell anyone else."
Chen Yue turned her head, looking at the corners of Mo Yu's mouth that were slightly raised in a somewhat devilish manner. She bit her lip and whispered like a mosquito, "Okay, let's whisper, I won't tell anyone..."
After a long while, Mo Yu still hadn't spoken. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. This silly girl, she fell for it, didn't she?
Chen Yue kept her head down, her ears turning red.
"Was it too quiet? I didn't hear anything..."
Mo Yu was stunned. Watching the girl's blushing face, he couldn't help but be a little infatuated.

In the villa, Chi Anlin summoned Xiao Yue to stand guard, then entered the Queen Ant's Small World.
Now, it was time for him to open his treasures!
Chi Anlin rubbed his hands together impatiently, picked up a gambling stone, and began to cut it carefully.
Soon, the gambling stone was cut open, and a page of paper appeared before Chi Anlin's eyes.
"Huh?"
Another piece of paper. Chi Anlin immediately used Appraisal on it.
[Name]: life span pill Prescription
[Quality]: King Rank Low Grade
[Description]: King Rank life span pill, can increase life span by 50 years. Can only be taken three times in a lifetime.
"Holy crap!" Chi Anlin blurted out a curse.
King Rank cultivators could live for five hundred years, and only when reaching the Earth Rank did a cultivator's life span begin to increase. This life span pill prescription was undoubtedly a life-saving straw for those whose time was running out but were unable to break through.
If used well, he could win over many old monsters who were running out of time!
Of course, if used poorly, he would likely be targeted by many people who would want to imprison him.
Chi Anlin took a deep breath. This prescription represented endless wealth!
One had to know that things like life span pills had long gone extinct. Therefore, to increase their life span, some cultivators whose time was running out had to head into extremely dangerous worlds or secret realms to search for precious spiritual herbs.
Those spiritual herbs had to be at least Monarch Rank to increase life span even a little.
Chi Anlin was extremely excited; the first gambling stone was a big hit.
After copying the life span pill prescription several times, Chi Anlin gave the original paper to the dragon cauldron, letting it study it itself.
He also checked it; this thing might be too difficult and too precious, so the blood energy required was an astronomical figure. He couldn't afford it for the time being and could only let the dragon cauldron study it first.
Subsequently, Chi Anlin began to open the second gambling stone. He had asked Xiao Xing to select five gambling stones with the strongest sensing.
In the second gambling stone, Chi Anlin obtained a sealed fish. After taking it out, he was surprised to find that the fish still had vitality!
[Name]: Star Spirit Fish
[Quality]: Earth Rank Low Grade
[Description]: A special type of fish living in the Star Sea. Consuming it has the effect of marrow cleansing. Due to extreme difficulty in breeding, they are rare. (The fish meat is extremely delicious; it is a rare and precious item.)
Chi Anlin paused. His first thought upon seeing the description was to raise the fish and breed it properly.
But he discovered, quite tragically, that there was only one fish, and it was male!
Chi Anlin sighed. One fish could only satisfy his cravings, and the marrow cleansing wouldn't achieve maximum efficacy.
However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration struck him.
The Star Spirit Fish can cleanse marrow, tastes delicious, and is extremely difficult to breed...
If its genes were fused with the Queen Ant, wouldn't the Ant Soldiers produced...
Chi Anlin's eyes widened. Action followed thought; he immediately took a fish scale and fed it to the Queen Ant, who was drooling behind him.
The next moment, Chi Anlin excitedly opened the gene Fusion.
One, ten, hundred... fifty million blood energy?
Chi Anlin's vision went dark. The reason he had obtained so much blood energy before was because he was lucky enough to kill a dragon by picking up the scraps.
But this thing... he had no way to synthesize it for the Queen Ant right now.
However, there was a reason for the high cost. The Star Spirit Fish was so rare and of Earth Rank quality. Chi Anlin thought for a moment and decided to try the fish's efficacy to see if it was worth his Fusion.
Flames appeared in his hand, and the fish meat was soon roasted. Chi Anlin tasted a bite tentatively. In an instant, the delicious flavor burst forth on his taste buds.
Immediately, Chi Anlin devoured the entire fish, even chewing up the fish bones.
