On Celestial Gate Mountain, amidst the cliffs behind Lechuan Mansion's rear courtyard, Fang Qingyuan stood beside Lechuan. He watched the Golden Core Cultivator before him raise a hand, cast a rod, and send a long, thin fishing line into the mists ahead.
Fang Qingyuan had been practicing the Profound Insight Qi Eating Technique for nearly half a year, so his vision was naturally different from before. Using his Qi Observation Technique, he could see with perfect clarity.
Amidst the miasma of impure, pestilent, and plague-ridden qi below the cliff, a wisp of pure qi was separating itself from the foulness, like a lotus flower emerging from the mud, yet remaining unstained.
This tiny wisp of pure qi slowly attached itself to Lechuan's fishing line and gradually grew stronger over time. Before long, the line Lechuan had cast out began to shimmer with a soft, iridescent glow.
