Chapter 33: The Forbidden Treasure, the Honored Soul Banner
"Aunt Qing, give the servants a day off today. You and Old He will accompany me to go fishing in the Yongding River." Zhou Haochen gave the order in a decisive tone.

The servants in the palace have been serving me for many years.

Zhou Haochen also didn't want the Suppression of Evil Bureau's investigation to bring them into trouble, so he simply gave them a holiday.

After making all the arrangements, Zhou Haochen took Qin Qiulan, Helian Hai and a boatman on a black-sailed boat to Qingshui Bay for fishing.

Clearwater Bay.

Zhou Haochen sat at the bow of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and he didn't move at all, like a sculpture.

Looking from the side, Zhou Haochen seemed to be in a daze, but he was actually silently calculating the time in his mind.

It’s the 1st hour of the si hour.

What about chance?
Suddenly, the fishing rod seemed to catch something.

Zhou Haochen's eyes narrowed.

Opportunity?

The opportunity was caught by fishing? !
Zhou Haochen immediately understood that since the hexagram mentioned fishing, it was obvious that opportunity and fishing were inextricably linked.

He lifted the fishing rod with force, but what happened was beyond Zhou Haochen's expectation.

The fishing rod didn't move at all.

The "big fish" that was caught didn't struggle, and there was not even a splash of water, as if it was a dead thing.

The strange situation aroused Zhou Haochen's excitement.

This is...the opportunity in the hexagram.

[Xuanshui Lingzhi: Aquatic Lingzhi, a rare water-attributed spiritual medicine, contains a rich essence of Renshui. ]

At this moment, Helian Hai, who was lying on his back enjoying the breeze and drinking wine from time to time, suddenly let out a light "ah".

"what?"

"Such a strong water scent."

"It seems to be a natural treasure of water attribute."

As Helian Hai finished speaking, Qin Qiulan also looked over with curious eyes.

Zhou Haochen pretended to be curious and said to Qin Qiulan.

"Auntie Lan, go down and see what I caught."

Plop.

Qin Qiulan jumped down with a graceful posture, like a mermaid.

After Qin Qiulan entered the water, it took less than ten breaths for him to emerge from the water.

The scene of a lotus emerging from clear water, Qin Qiulan's already elegant and gentle face, added a touch of purity unique to a girl.

"Your Highness, it's the Xuanshui Lingzhi."

Qin Qiulan raised his right hand high, holding a blue Ganoderma lucidum in his slender hand.

A rich water-attributed spiritual energy lingered around the Ganoderma lucidum, and as it inhaled and exhaled, a layer of white mist seemed to form.

"Xuanshui Lingzhi, Your Highness, you are so lucky!"

Helian Hai couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Mr. He, is there any saying about Xuanshui Lingzhi?"

"This is the best choice of natural treasure to assist in the cultivation of Renshui Zhenlei!"

"The Xuanshui Ganoderma contains a rich essence of Renshui. By refining the essence of Renshui and integrating it into our sect's thunder method, we can cultivate the Renshui True Thunder of the Five Thunders Orthodox Method."

"When I was cultivating Renshui Zhenlei, I searched for many years but could not find any trace of Xuanshui Lingzhi. In the end, I had to settle for the next best thing and use Bibo Shisui."

Helian Hai clicked his tongue in amazement, with a hint of envy in his tone.

Back then, I had traveled thousands of miles through mountains and rivers but still couldn't find the Xuanshui Ganoderma lucidum. But the Thirteenth Prince got it while going out for a trip and fishing.

I really envy him.

Qin Qiulan held the Xuanshui Ganoderma in one hand and swam back to the black-sailed boat.

The moment she got on board, Qin Qiulan's figure attracted Zhou Haochen's attention.

Qin Qiulan was soaked all over. Her green palace dress became translucent due to the water and stuck to her tall and plump body.

This makes her already curvy body look even more plump and attractive, outlining smooth and perfect lines that make people's mouths dry.

"Your Highness, I got the Xuanshui Ganoderma for you." Qin Qiulan's pretty face was full of joy.

After hearing Helian Hai say that the Xuanshui Ganoderma would be very helpful to Zhou Haochen's cultivation, he smiled as if he was happier than if he had gotten the opportunity himself.

"Auntie Lan, you're soaked. Let me help you dry. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Qin Qiulan did not hesitate and took Zhou Haochen into the cabin.

Before going in, Zhou Haochen instructed the boatman, "Get to Jinshazhou in two quarters of an hour."

"As you command, Your Highness!"

Helian Hai listened to the noise of Zhou Haochen and Qin Qiulan entering the cabin, and three words emerged in his mind.

Dog men and women!
In the cabin.

Zhou Haochen and Qin Qiulan sat face to face.

Her tall and plump figure is perfect, both fleshy and bony, as if it was the perfect masterpiece of Nuwa in creating humans.

Qin Qiulan was totally unguarded in front of Zhou Haochen, and her curvy body was fully exposed.

The bright sunshine shines through the gaps in the black umbrella and falls on the graceful and elegant body of the beauty.

In the sunlight, small pearl-like water droplets are crystal clear, sliding down the clavicle of the beautiful woman and playfully drilling into the bottomless ravine, tempting people to explore deeper.

"Your Highness, thank you for your help!"

Qin Qiulan's gentle call woke Zhou Haochen from the beautiful scenery.

Looking at the defenseless beauty in front of him, Zhou Haochen quickly calmed his mind.

As he practiced his skills, waves of heat emanated from his palms, warming the beautiful woman's palace dress.

White mist rose from Qin Qiulan's back.

She looks like a fairy walking out of wonderland, with an ethereal temperament.

A quarter of an hour later, after drying their long skirts, the two walked out of the cabin.

On the river, the black-sailed boat moved forward quickly.

Since there were few people on this lake cruise, the black-sailed boat arrived at Jinshazhou very quickly.

Jinshazhou is a sandbar in the middle of the Yongding River. It is not large in area and has many schools of fish around it. It is one of the holy places in the minds of anglers in Yujing City.

Zhou Haochen put down his fishing rod and continued fishing, joking with Qin Qiulan while waiting for the arrival of one quarter past three in the morning.

The fishing line suddenly became taut.

A huge force came along the fishing line, as if it was going to drag Zhou Haochen into the river.

What a great power!
Zhou Haochen showed a hint of surprise in his heart.

Judging from the brute force, he had obviously caught a big one.

This big guy has a bad temper. It twists its body wildly underwater, splashing white waves.

"Wake it up for me!"

Zhou Haochen shouted loudly and exerted force with both hands.

He is not just a Taoist practitioner, he is also powerless.

He is also a martial artist at the third level, strong enough to lift a tripod.

There was a pop.

A big black carp was pulled up by Zhou Haochen violently and thrown heavily onto the deck.

This black carp was six feet long, taller than Zhou Haochen. Its strong tail kept flapping on the deck, making a popping sound.

If a black carp this long were on Earth, wouldn't it have to open the trunk and drive around the neighborhood for a few laps?
"Your Highness, what a big herring."

"Auntie Lan, we're having herring soup for lunch today..."

Zhou Haochen was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

It is already three quarters past the hour of Si.

What about chance?
Could it be...

Zhou Haochen's gaze fell on the big black carp.

Is this big blue carp a chance?

Zhou Haochen was confused for a moment.

"Huh? Your Highness, there seems to be something in the belly of the black carp?" Qin Qiulan took out a small black flag from the belly of a big black carp.

This small black flag has a dim aura and strange and cold patterns on its surface. Just one glance at it gives people an ominous feeling.

The moment the small black flag appeared, Helian Hai, who had been looking lazy, suddenly stood up, and even the drunkenness in his body was dispelled.

Whoosh!
He took a quick step and came to Qin Qiulan's side, touching the surface of the black flag with his hand.

The cool, chilly touch stimulated Helian Hai's skin.

“It’s this thing.”

"Honoring Soul Flag!"

[Soul Honoring Banner (Damaged): In its heyday, it was a divine forbidden treasure, ranked 78th on the Spiritual Treasure List, and had the effect of driving away ghosts and feeding ghosts. Due to a long-term lack of nourishment, its rating fell to a divine forbidden treasure.]
