  This was the first time Bei Feng experienced the feeling of gliding through the air so carefreely. The only downer was that there were no updrafts in this underground cavern, so he still needed to flap his wing from time to time.

  With a bit of effort, he flew out from the dark cave and landed on the ground.

  The huge wing behind his back was retracted right as he touched the ground. Thereafter, he immediately dived into the cold river and washed himself thoroughly. Then, after putting on a fresh pair of robes, he departed towards the waterfall.

  The entire area was eerily quiet. Not mentioning the presence of other people, there wasn't even a trace of other living beings apart from those unknown plants growing sparsely along the path.

  When he reached the cliff, Bei Feng directly leapt down.

  A huge pit was created as he landed from a height of over a hundred meters. The ground had sunk inwards, and numerous cracks as thick as a thumb extended from the pit!

  Bei Feng looked at his surroundings, but there was no trace of any person at all.

  "Just how long was I in that cave?" Bei Feng murmured as he furrowed his brows. When he was inside the cave, he had only been concentrating on recuperating. He slept when he was tired, and did not have the mind to keep track of time at all.

  But from the looks of things now, it was definitely not a short period of time!

  Bei Feng was not in a hurry to depart. He still remembered the Broken Star Fish mentioned by the System. Although he didn't know how many Broken Star Fish he needed to refine the Broken Star Ore, he was willing to give it a try!

  He did not know how powerful a Transcendent martial practitioner was, but they were definitely much more powerful than a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert! The Broken Star Ore had a countering effect against all under the Transcendent realm, and even retained half the effects against experts at or above the Transcendent realm. If this Broken Star Ore was used to make a weapon, it would definitely be a divine weapon!

  "But the question of how to best catch these fishes is tricky," Bei Feng muttered to himself. This Broken Star Fish's body was incomparably tough and the smaller something was, the more they could withstand pressure. Coupled with their swift speed, these fishes could be considered extremely well-rounded.

  Using a piece of leather as an example, if one compared the penetrative strength of a steel rod and a needle against the leather, it'd be obvious without thinking whether the rod or the needle would be able to pierce through the leather.

  Right now, Bei Feng needed a type of 'leather' that was not easily penetrated to catch these Broken Star Fishes!

  Bei Feng looked around and thought for a moment before summoning the golden flying dagger. Controlling it with his mental power, the flying dagger appeared beside a sturdy boulder and carved out a huge piece of rock about forty, fifty meters wide and five, six meters thick.

  Then, he used the flying dagger to carve out the middle of the rock until it resembled a huge stone pot!

  If this piece of rock was not the largest one in the vicinity, Bei Feng would have tried to make an even bigger pot!

  Such a large piece of rock…… even if Bei Feng used all his strength, he would still not be able to do anything to it. It was unclear how heavy a rock of this size was! With just the strength of his own body, there was no way he could move it.

  But Bei Feng was not in a hurry as he continued carving carefully. Once it was done, he found a slightly smaller boulder and cut it into a bowl's shape.

  This piece of rock was about ten meters wide and three meters thick. Bei Feng carved out its center and placed it to the side.

  With a flick of his hand, the Grade 3 Fusang Wood Fishing Rod appeared. Lightly hooking the line to the huge stone pot, Bei Feng borrowed the augmentative effect of the fishing rod and easily lifted it up. A huge piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat about a thousand jin heavy was taken out and placed into the stone pot before being sliced apart into fist-sized chunks.

  Having been battered by the waters of the waterfall for such a long time, the pool beneath the waterfall was several kilometers wide! And this was with most of the water above the waterfall dried up! Otherwise, the pool would at least be ten times bigger!

  Bei Feng jumped onto a tall platform and slowly lowered the line until the stone pot sunk into the water.

  While it was called a stone pot, this chunk of rock could barely be considered a pot. It was just a piece of rock with its center dug out, leaving a curved dent of twenty meters in radius and three meters deep.

  The reason he did that was so that it would not fully sink into the water.

  As the stone pot was lowered into the water, a huge commotion immediately appeared in the waters around it. Countless white ripples could be seen shooting towards the center of the stone pot!

  Bei Feng flexed his strength in that instant and tugged harshly on the line!

  The huge stone pot was jerked out of the water and Bei Feng quickly reeled in the line, lifting the stone pot into the air!

  Bei Feng laughed uproariously as he pulled on the fishing rod. He was probably the only person who could think up such a tyrannic way of fishing!

  With a light leap, he jumped atop the stone pot and into the self dug hole. The large pit he dug in the middle of the rock was already filled by a third!

  Large amounts of Broken Star Fish were squeezed into this twenty meter hole, and were squirming wildly. All their impressive battle prowess was gone.

  The terrifying penetrative might of the Broken Star Fish was not an innate ability. They needed to accelerate greatly in a short moment to pierce through stuff!

  But packed together as they were now, there was simply no space for acceleration!

  Bei Feng's eyes lit up with delight. There were so many of these fishes; he should definitely be able to refine quite a bit of Broken Star Ore!

  After draining all the water away, there was only a thick layer of these tiny silver fishes, all stacked together.

  Bei Feng utilized the Bear Form Style using the paw from the Bear Manifestation—he grabbed at the fishes in the stone pit and placed them into the smaller stone bowl.

  In just ten minutes, there was only a thin layer of fish left in the pit. The other stone bowl, however, was half filled with Broken Star Fishes!

  Bei Feng was not in a hurry to catch more fishes. Instead, he gathered a large pile of dried twigs and leaves and placed them around the stone bowl. Following that, he lit a huge fire under the stone bowl!

  In just a moment, a raging fire surrounded the stone bowl. As the temperature rose, the countless Broken Star Fish were cooked and killed.

  Of course, Bei Feng was not doing this to torture the fishes on a sadistic whim. Living creatures simply could not be kept into the spatial ring, so he could only kill them first.

  In about half an hour, a strange fragrance drifted out from the bowl, and the fire had also begun to die down. All the silvery white Broken Star Fish had turned a crimson red!

  With a touch of his hand, the fishes along with the stone bowl were kept into the spatial ring.

  Bei Feng rubbed his palms with satisfaction as he took out another large slab of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat. Repeating the process a few more times, his spatial ring was filled with four batches of fishes!

  At this time, the number of Broken Star Fish in the river had also become less and less. Bei Feng decided to catch one last batch before leaving.

  The huge stone pot was lowered into the water. From an outsider's perspective, this was something extremely miraculous! Such a thin and ordinary-looking fishing line was actually capable of lifting up the stone pot!

  This could be considered as the fishing rod's impressive magic. As long as the hook was attached to the stone, it would become akin to being a single object with the fishing rod, and would not fall off no matter what!

  "Boom!"

  The giant stone pot which he placed on the water suddenly began to shake and emit an explosive sound!

  At this time, a huge Broken Star Fish about thirty meters long and as thick as an adult's thigh suddenly burst through the water and pierced through the large stone pot!

  The six, seven meter thick stone was like a piece of paper, easily pierced through by the fish!

  In an instant, the huge stone pot burst into numerous fragments which sunk to the bottom of the lake!
