Even those cultivators who had frantically escaped did not trouble Lin Yi, after all, they were the ones who had mocked others for attempting the trial previously, they had absolutely no face to cause trouble now.
Lin Yi did not say a word, nor did he care whether his actions attracted attention.
That was because anyone who had been near the cave mansion would have their memories about the mansion erased after the Secret Realm ended. They would have no clear recollection of what happened inside, only those who passed the trial held some vague memories.
Then, he took out a large handful of earthworms from the Spirit Pet Bag. He had dug these up after he first arrived at the mansion and saw the Koi in the lake, on his way from the Wood Element area to the Fire Element area.
The elder within the previous mansion didn’t speak, but instead used Koi to form words displaying the opening time of the mansion.
He felt that there must be some deeper meaning to this, these Koi perhaps would be of great use later on. Therefore, he took some earthworms. After all, they are the food that fishy creatures love the most.
“Such large earthworms, are you planning to feed the fish?” Shen Hao Lin glanced at the earthworms in Lin Yi’s hand, thought of the Koi in the lake and immediately asked.
It seemed like everything could be turned into food for a meal — they couldn’t enter the Giant Spirit Tree herb garden so feed the Giant Python, or they couldn’t enter the mansion and feed the Koi.
The cultivators around had to hold in their laughter. This fellow Daoist really loved to feed creatures. But previous attempts to feed the Giant Python failed, would feeding the Koi work?
“Yes, I feel the plump Koi by the lake might have a use.” Lin Yi answered with a smile. His fingers pinched an earthworm and placed it into the lake, the title “Junior Dung Cleaner” was still displayed on his title panel.
However, the Koi in the lake were still swimming about. Some just swam by without even a sniff. Some were curious and smelt it but continued to swim as if completely uninterested in the earthworms.
One fat golden Koi even swam close and blew bubbles at him.
Lin Yi gave a helpless smile. It seemed that although the Koi were not as spiritual as the Giant Python, they wouldn’t just readily eat the food others provided.
“Even if the golden Koi doesn’t eat, to even blow bubbles, it’s too spiteful.” Shen Hao Lin said indignantly.
“Fellow Daoist, it seems your method of feeding the Koi doesn’t work.” Some cultivators shook their heads and said.
Lin Yi calmly said, “These Koi live in the lake near Dan God’s Cave Mansion and are surrounded by abundant spiritual energy, so naturally they have a certain spiritual nature. It could be that this earthworm is not fresh enough. Let me change to another one.”
Upon finishing his sentence, he swapped the earthworms, meanwhile, he displayed the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy” and entered the state of Little Luck.
In front of the green Giant Python, he could not directly enter the state of Little Luck to feed, but the Koi were different. Although they had some spirituality, they definitely could not compare with the Giant Python.
If he had ample time, naturally he would not enter Little Luck state. After all, the title “Junior Dung Cleaner” had a 30% success rate in feeding unfamiliar animals. Through continuous attempts, he would certainly succeed.
However, time waits for no man. Nobody knew how much time the trial of Dan God’s Cave Mansion would take.
If the time runs out before the trial is completed, the chance of receiving the inheritance would be wasted.
Under the Little Luck state, the earthworm he put into the lake was like a magnet, attracting several nearby Koi. One of them swallowed the earthworm without hesitation.
“They began eating, Junior Brother Lin, you’re really amazing.” Shen Hao Lin said, filled with astonishment.
The many cultivators around were also somewhat surprised. Could it be that this fellow Daoist from Liu Yun Sect specialized in feeding spiritual pets in his sect?
At this point, some cultivators also came to the lake and took out food from their storage bags to feed them, but none was successful. One Koi even leaped up and spat a stream of water at one of the cultivators.
After the first successful attempt, Lin Yi didn’t individually pinch an earthworm to feed anymore. He fed more than a dozen earthworms at once. Under the effect of Little Luck, these earthworms were all incredibly tempting.
By the time he had fed the hundreds of earthworms he had dug up, he had also taken out some Monster Beast meat and steamed Spirit Rice, continuously feeding for more than an hour, almost emptying out the food in his storage bag.
The Koi in the lake had their bellies swollen from eating so much.
When he offered food once more, these dozens of koi shook their heads, seemingly indicating that they were filled.
Lin Yi collected the food and respectfully bowed to them, “Elder Koi, this disciple wishes to proceed to the Lake Heart Cave Mansion, I ask for your assistance.”
The gold-colored koi that previously spat bubbles at him was the first to float to the surface, radiating a golden glow. Soon, the other koi also floated up, sticking together tightly, much like a raft.
The lead golden koi turned its head, wagging its tail towards him, seemingly signaling him to come aboard.
Lin Yi activated the Wind Transformation Technique, lightened his body, and gradually stood atop the koi, finding that they possessed great strength, fully capable of supporting his weight.
Just as the koi were preparing to leave, he hastily retreated to the shore, “Elder
Koi, I have some sect members, I need your help.”
The leading golden koi nodded, spitting bubbles on the surface of the water once more.
He then looked at the surrounding cultivators and said with a smile, “Fellow cultivators, I am currently in need of recruiting a tester. Give me twenty thousand spirit stones, and you will be given the first opportunity to set foot in the cave mansion. Once it is confirmed to be safe, the price will rise.”
He did not know if these koi were really safe, so naturally, he needed to find a tester.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, a cultivator spoke up somewhat indignantly, “This is borderline robbery. To be a tester, and still need to give you twenty thousand spirit stones. Who knows if these koi are really safe. In the middle of the lake, one might end up being swallowed whole by a crocodile along with the fish.”
Lin Yi glanced at this cultivator. He seemed to be the one who had first mocked him during the flying boat trial and was among those who had used the flying boat to descend into the lake.
“Oh, I remember you now. If you want to go, it will be two hundred thousand spirit stones, not a piece less. The testing will only happen once, thereafter, it will be fifty thousand spirit stones per person.”
Anyway, after leaving the secret realm, all memories about the cave mansion would disappear, and this matter would also be forgotten by everyone.
Just then, a cultivator jumped onto the fish raft formed by the koi as swift as a thunderclap, seemingly attempting to freeload.
However, in the next moment, these koi dispersed instantly, causing the person to fall directly into the lake. The next moment, a great bloody mouth suddenly emerged from the lake, swallowing the man whole.
Afterwards, the dozens of koi once again formed a raft, and the leading golden koi seemed to joyously jump about in the lake a few times, appearing very delighted.
The people around who saw the giant bloody mouth appear were all horrified.
Just now when Lin Yi was standing on the koi, nothing happened, yet this cultivator fell into the lake and was instantly devoured. This showed that the koi could indeed ensure safety.
“Fellow Daoist, I will be the tester.” Some cultivators hurriedly spoke up.
Lin Yi shook his head, “There’s no need for testing. The incident just now has proven the safety of the koi. Senior Brother Shen, you go first, remember to activate the Feather Weight Magic.”
Shen Hao Lin revealed an expression of gratitude, showing no hesitation, he bowed to Lin Yi, “Junior Brother Lin, words cannot express my gratitude, I will certainly keep this kindness in mind.” After he finished speaking, he went to the lakeside.
“Elder Koi, please escort my senior brother first.” Lin Yi bowed to the koi.
The leading golden koi gently nodded, flicked its tail, and Shen Hao Lin activated the Feather Weight Magic, and carefully stepped on it. This time, the koi did not disperse.
Once Shen Hao Lin was stable, the golden koi swam ahead, and the other koi stuck close behind.
In the beginning, Shen Hao Lin was a bit worried, but he found that this fish raft formed by the koi was extremely stable, and there was no need to worry about falling.
Soon, they were halfway across, however, there were no further appearances of terrifying aquatic creatures, the koi carried Shen Hao Lin all the way, successfully reaching Lake Heart Island.
Everyone could see even from their apparent distance through the Spirit Wood Technique, Shen Hao Lin standing on the island and cheering. Suddenly, everyone became excited..
